“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!”
“Alissa did a great job with our dog! She took good care, closely following all instructions and sent a bunch of updates along the way. We would definitely use her again. Thanks a lot Alissa!”
“We highly recommend Ching-Yuan as a sitter, he went above and beyond for our two cats while we were overseas and provided us reassurance that they were well taken care of and loved. Ching-Yuan was diligent and followed the instructions provided without fail.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I want to use my love for animals to help others, meet new people (& dogs), and make the community a little better. I live in Sunnyvale with my husband and my son, Stubby (pictured). I am currently unemployed and super flexible. I look forward to getting to know you, and your pet! :) I am incredibly flexible and willing to help where I can. I strive to provide the best service for all parties and I am happy to insert myself where/when needed. I care for others’ pets by merging the owner’s preferences with my instinctual passion for animals. I prioritize creating a loving, safe, and comfortable environment to continue the pet’s routine and provide a peace of mind for the owner.
About: Current owner of a dog for 6 years being its primary feeder and walker. Kept her entertained and happy throughout the long busy workday and bonded with her. Working part time to earn some money. Hope to get to know you and your dog to the best of my abilities and to facilitate a welcoming environment for both. I walk dogs and occasionally house sit. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet I'm looking after and to make sure they're comfortable with me. Also to check in with the owner for any special needs. I am pretty flexible with my time as it is currently summer break for me.
About: Hola, soy Viviana y amo profundamente a los mascotas. He cuidado perros y gatos de diferentes tamaños y personalidades.

La seguridad es mi prioridad. Siempre mantengo a las mascotas bajo supervisión, utilizo correa en los paseos y sigo todas las instrucciones del dueño. Mantengo un ambiente limpio, tranquilo y libre de riesgos. Nunca dejo a las mascotas solas por largos períodos y envío actualizaciones frecuentes con fotos y mensajes para que el dueño esté tranquilo/a.
About: I’ve grown up caring for my dog, who is now 13 years old, so I’ve had experience with dogs through many stages of life. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping an eye on their needs, and following their normal routines. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ dogs time to time. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility for drop-in visits throughout the week. My schedule can vary, but I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can reliably make. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets safely leashed when needed, and give them plenty of attention while I’m there. I’m also happy to handle feeding, water, playtime, and any basic cleanup needed during the visit.
“Jennifer was amazing. She came on time for every appointment and sent us pictures. Clearly, Mika (our dog) loved her and after a couple of days even Saskia, our ornery cat, was affectionate with her. We will be reaching out to her for our next trip.”
“My dog Harvey loves Vicky! she’s dependable, always on time and does everything we ask of her when she comes in for drop in visits. We have already rebooked her. She’s great!”
“Elvira did drop ins on my two cats while I was away, they are shy cats but did come out to play with her which is a huge compliment. My extra cautious girl cat even allowed Elvira to pet her!”
“Just like last winter, Diane took excellent care of our cat, Cooper, while we were out of town for a week. She sent us a picture of him every day, and we returned to find him happy and relaxed.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always been an admirer of animals and the value they bring to life. Most of my life I have been a dog owner. I have experience with walking and boarding dogs with some light training. They truly are man’s best friend. I’m working part time currently and available to care for your pet and open for boarding most days. I am a friend of the animal kingdom. I have a fenced in outdoor area with a park close by for walks and socializing. I will do my best to care for your pet while you are away.
“Andriana took such good care of my two cats, as if they were her own fur babies :) She has a natural talent for caregiving and it really shows through her attentive and thoughtful service. I will surely consider her for next time!”
“Anna was great with my puppy! My plans came up suddenly so I booked on fairly short notice. Anna was quick to respond and clear about her schedule. She made a point of meeting my puppy and learning more about our routine, and asked lots of thoughtful questions that helped me feel comfortable. And it was clear from the start that she loves dogs and they love her! Anna sent pics or vids of every drop-in and gave me quick reports on potty training and behavior. And she offered some really smart training and safety tips! I'd definitely hire Anna again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Stephanie is so great with our cats! One of them is really shy and usually hides under the bed, but Stephanie is so patient with her and always makes sure to leave her a little treat. She really goes above and beyond, and I always feel good knowing our cats are in her care. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone!
As a first time Rover user and the first time leaving my 1 year old cats, I was a bit nervous. I had an instant good feeling for Michelle. The cats were also responsive to her calm demeanor and were more curious than concerned. I appreciated the updates and photos! It was a great experience. Now I know who to contact for the next time I have to travel!
Ren is amazing! We asked him last minute for a drop in visit while family from out of town visited and he was able to accommodate us! The dogs love Ren and are always so excited to see him so we are always so grateful when he can come and hang with our doggies!
This is my second time booking with Xia and she has been as great as always 👍 😊. Lots of love and patience; timely updates and communication; and on top of all those: the best photo taker for Gtay. Even for week long vacation you can put your mind at ease, knowing that your puppy is in good care. 5 stars ⭐️ straight.
We absolutely love Saida! She takes great care of our 3 cats (granted, ours are pretty easy) and her affection for them is plain to see. She spends the full 30 minutes each visit, and they look content when we return. This was our 2nd time with Saida, and I'm looking forward to a 3rd!
Samantha did an amazing job watching our pets! She always responded promptly to any messages and asked lots of great questions when she came to meet them. We are so happy to have found someone in the area who enjoys watching reptiles and is knowledgeable about their care! We will definitely have Samantha continue to watch our pets when we are out of town!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sunnyvale on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,989 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.
