“I needed last minute day care for my dog, but I was somewhat hesitant about dropping him off with someone that he didn't know. When I read Priya's reviews and spoke with her on the phone, it looked like a good option. From the moment I met Priya, I thought she would be great. She was so warm when she met my dog, and he responded well to her kind voice when she spoke to him. Priya sent me pics and gave me updates on how he was doing which further caused me to feel relaxed with my dog in her care. When I picked him up, his eyes were bright with excitement, and he clearly was happy playing at Priya's home. I highly recommend Priya!”
“Florence and Wen were fantastic with Snow..very kind and polite. Genuine people taking care of pets very well. They gave me regular updates and have a very neat and tidy backyard for dogs to play. Snow really enjoyed being there. I highly recommend Florence and Wen for your pet sitting needs.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have fully open availability. I am a stay at home mom. I have a 20lb poodle named Sheiwei (she-wee). She loves the company of other dogs. We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! I have a small fenced yard with 1 poodle to keep your dog company. My neighborhood we can walk a few times through the day. Or we can take it easy and stay home if the necessary. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!
“Nisha did a great job looking after Kilroy. Took him on multiple walks and gave him lots of love! She was always on time for pickup and drop off as well. Would highly recommend her as a dog sitter”
“Karen, Will and Cookie were the best daycare hosts my puppy Sadie and I could have asked for during a visit to SF. They were so sweet and welcoming and took incredible care of Sadie. It was such a relief to find them on short notice - I had full trust in them and knew Sadie was enjoying her time there. I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for loving care of their dog and I will definitely use them again on our next visit. Thank you!”
“Busra took great care of my dog and sent plenty of updates throughout the day. My dog came home ready for a nap after a busy day of playing with her golden retriever and in their backyard.”
“My puppy loved going to Sylvia’s place. Sylvia is no only attentive and loving towards your pups, but she’s also super nice and responsive to you :) She sends so many cute pictures throughout the day. Here’s another review to add to her long list of glowing reviews!”
“Ann was kind and caring with my two dogs! Her space and yard were lovely for my lap dogs, who can be both couch potatoes and a little energetic. She sent many pictures and gave me a detailed update on how their day was. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Recently moved, and our dog unexpectedly showed severe separation anxiety. The first person we worked with was unable to keep Gunner calm, but Rodrigo was a dog whisperer, helping him calm and acclimate to the area. Which helped calm and let me acclimate. Absolutely would recommend, absolutely will use again.”
“Taylor loves dogs and is very caring. She takes a very good care of my puppy, and updates me several times about how my pup is doing. I have a peace of mind when my pup is with her, as I know she is in kind and caring hands. She also keeps everything clean. Both I and my little one are happy with how Taylor takes care of her. I definitely recommend Taylor to those who are looking for someone nice, caring, and clean to take care of their dogs.”
“Steven and Pei Shan are a very friendly couple. Their Shiba, Mika is super fluffy and cute! My dog Jojo is a very anxious and jumpy dog but they made her feel very comfortable in their home. They gave updates and beautiful photos of Jojo while in their care. Jojos first stay with them went very well and I’ll be continuing to use their care for my dog. Recommend to all!!”
“My dog had a great stay at James’ & with the other dogs. It seemed as if he has a very good demeanor and understanding of group dynamics/pack behavior of dogs. We will be back!”
“Eunice & Sean were both great! Lots of updates throughout the day and communication on what he was doing. I had zero worries and felt very comfortable. Pick up and drop off were smooth and easy. I will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Christina was amazing! We reached out super last minute but she was not only very accommodating, but a true dog lover who was happy to look after my fur baby. Her kids and her dog too played with our dog and I was thrilled to see it!”
“Dawn took care of our puppy and she did an amazing job. Our little yorkie had an amazing time and Dawn kept us updated with photos and videos. She is an awesome person to take care of your dog. We look forward to requesting her day care services again soon.”

This is my second time booking with Amy, and she’s absolutely wonderful with my dog, Bentley! Since he deals with separation anxiety, I love that she always helps him settle and she keeps me posted with regular updates. She’s super easy to communicate with and her place/area feels really safe. Bentley always has a blast with her! Thanks so much for always looking after him so well! I totally recommend her and will definitely be booking again.
Priya and her family took really good care of Scout. They were gracious enough to meet us for a meet and greet before the day care. Thanks for sending lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. Scout came back home super happy and tired after a whole day of playing! Tiring him out is quite a feat considering Scout’s energy levels.
Megan is a Godsend! I was so happy that she accepted my last minute request to watch our 6 month old high energy Iggy (Italian Greyhound) Tala. Our other Italian Greyhound was hospitalized earlier in the week and Tala couldn’t be alone at home, so I was on the search for last minute day care. Tala *loved* her time with Megan, her daughter and her friendly pup, Banx! I got a lot of pictures of Tala having a great time. Megan was very communicative — readily available to answer any questions if I had any. Megan was also very accommodating as I had some unexpected changes to when my other dog was coming home so I asked if Tala could stay overnight. Megan accepted the request and Tala got to hang out again with her new friends an extra day. Tala & Banx played a lot during the day they slept pretty hard at night! 🐾😁 She’s had so much fun, we’re going to do it again! I highly recommend Megan for pet daycare and/or boarding. Thank you for taking such good care of Tala!
John’s place was excellent for Milo! Thanks so much. Milo enjoyed spending time with John and Dumbo and playing with toys. Songkun was able to accommodate a late schedule change request which really helped me. Milo will be happy to be at SongKun next time again!
This was our first time using a dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Dawn! It’s clear that she genuinely loves dogs and would treat each one like her own. I was nervous about leaving Bustelo with a stranger but she gave us lots of detailed updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which I so appreciated. Bustelo and her dog Manny played so well together, he came home tired but happy. Can’t wait to book her again!
Sabrina has been a wonderful sitter for our dog Willow and we would recommend her to anyone. She is punctual for drop off and pickup but flexible when needed. She is willing to go on long walks and is able to feed Willow which always results in very happy dog. She is perceptive and allows the day to go at Willow’s pace. Sabrina is also such a friendly and thoughtful person and we know Willow is in great hands with her every day!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sunnyvale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
