“Lauren was absolutely fantastic while watching our cat, Louie, for a week over the holidays. She took excellent care of all the essentials—feeding, fresh water, and keeping the litter box clean—but she really went above and beyond by spending quality time playing with him. We also came home to a clean house; she even watered our plants and vacuumed at each visit! The photo and video updates were the highlight of our day and gave us total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking Lauren again!”
“Andriana was one of the best rovers we have ever used. She was thoughtful and went above and beyond with our cat. She took extra time to play with our cat while we were away and took an entire album of photos for us. Would highly recommend!!”
“Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.”
“So grateful Stacey was able to watch our two cats while we were away. She was gentle and gave them the space to hide or feel their feelings when they first met, but while we were out she got our shy black cat to become her new best friend! Thanks again!”
“Conner was awesome- we needed someone to watch our elderly cat and bunny rabbit and Conner was an awesome choice! He was a clear communicator and we felt that our animals were very well taken care of! Thanks Conner!!’”

About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm the proud cat mom of Louie, who has been my companion for the past 15 years. During my time as a travel nurse, Louie and I spent eight years traveling the country together, which taught me a great deal about animal behavior, routines, and helping pets feel secure and comfortable. I'm a pediatric nurse by profession, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Friends describe me as dependable, patient, and nurturing—qualities that I bring to pet care as well. Although most of my experience comes from being a lifelong pet owner, I have also cared for friends' cats while they were away and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I especially love cats and understand their unique personalities, but I also grew up with a dog and enjoy spending time with dogs too. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. My current work schedule is flexible, which gives me the opportunity to provide reliable care, attention, and companionship to pets throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats, and I strive to keep pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's specific needs, preferences, and schedule. In a client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks (if applicable), playtime, affection, and companionship while ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I am also comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs according to owner and veterinary instructions. As a pediatric nurse, I am attentive to details, patient, and experienced with following care plans carefully. I understand the importance of consistency and monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Having owned cats my entire life and cared for my cat Louie for the past 15 years, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and in need of extra attention, or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I will adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love.
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!”
“Audrey was well-taken care of while we were on a trip. Diane did a great job caring for her and sent a picture every day. We came home to a happy, calm cat. Thanks, Diane!”
“Colin did a great job looking after Monty. She was able to give him some time outside in the back yard which he loves, played with him with his favorite shoelace toy, and kept his litter area clean and tidy. She also kept my indoor and outdoor container plants watered and healthy based on my somewhat vague instructions (due to not knowing how hot it would be). Highly recommend her, and hope she is available next time I need cat sitting. Thanks Colin!”
“Dawn is the best cat sitter we've ever had! She leaves thoughtful comments, spends quality time with the cats, is communicative, and even kept our house clean while we were gone for a month. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond to keep you at ease while you're away.”
“Wow! These two really exceeded my expectations. My dogs are both shy but they warmed up quickly to them which is rare. L&P gave detailed updates so that I could tell my dogs were happy and having fun! They really love dogs and it shows.”
About: I grow up with three dogs, two German Shepards and one Bernese. I took care of them from babies to their last days. There is missing piece in my life without them. After raising diverse-character dogs, I learned to handle any circumstance, and love them with empathy. Working from home, in a flexible schedule. Then, I’m really looking forward to dog walks, taking sun, and give a rest to my computer. Also, dogs can be a good company while working. I have a fenced yard, available water, and an always clean backyard. While waking, I’m aware of my surroundings; I give space for pets when then need it; and identify potential dangers before they are a problem. Also, I’m flexible with special requests.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sunnyvale is $30

We could not be happier with the wonderful care our cats received from Jin! She was amazingly attentive, sending us detailed daily updates and photos that put our minds completely at ease while we were away. On top of being an incredible cat sitter, Jin went above and beyond by taking care of our garden and plants. We are so grateful for her kindness and thoroughness, and we will definitely be booking Jin again! Highly recommended!
Our cat, Cassiopeia had a great time with Kelun! Kelun made sure all of Cassie's daily needs were taken care of, and gave Cassie lots of good playtime and pets. The updates Kelun sent were full of great photos, so we knew our kitty was doing well. Thanks, Kelun!
I booked Isabella to come and take care of my two cats while I was away for the week. She has great communication, and the cats were very comfortable around her. When I got back the cats were doing well. She always sent pictures of the cats eating and playing after each visit which was very appreciated. I'd definitely rebook with Isabella in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sunnyvale on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,919 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunnyvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sunnyvale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyvale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
