“Best dog sitter around! Doloris made sure our doggie was comfortable at the meet up. She was very patient and very attentive with our usually nervous doggie. We left for our trip with confidence, knowing our pup was in good hands. We will be using this sitter again. Definitely recommend!”
“Min was amazing!! She sent photos every day and updated me on how he was doing! She is the best! Super responsive as well! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Jack felt right at home with Haley. Her dogs were super friendly and matched Jack’s energy. He seemed sad to leave. Will definitely be having Haley watch Jack again in the future!”
“Great communication, friendly, and provides a comfortable environment for pets away from home. My dog had a great stay with Rebecca and we would definitely book again!”
“Our dog was so well cared for, loved, and we know she really enjoyed her stay. We booked a 10 day trip and while our dog is used to being away from us for stretches, she’s a senior with some quirks and we are always worried. Sangwian shared many pictures with us and we always knew our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. Would recommend to others and would book again ourselves!”
“Wonderful experience with Mychelle! Very responsive to messages and sent a lot of great pictures. My dog came home happy and healthy. I felt like my dog was staying with family. Highly recommended!”
“My fur babies loved Aushi! Her backyard is spacious enough for the dogs to run around. She provided updates while I was out of town. My dogs were super tired when I picked them up, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay! 🤍”
“Blake was wonderful with our two dogs! He was so sweet, gentle, and patient with them, and it was clear that he truly cared about making them comfortable. He was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout their stay. We would definitely book with him again!”
“I always rebook with Kara! She loves on my senior dog and my pit pointer mix lives his best life zooming with other boarding dogs in the yard so he comes home tired. 10/10”

“Nytavia was Amazing! Truly a Gem 💎 Prince Harry had a blast with his new best friend and came back freshly bathed. She went the extra mile in every way and I won't forget it. Will most definitely book her again! She's my only Dallas booking from here on out & recommend you give her a try as well.”

“Luka always has a great time staying with Shannon and Lulu, and this time was no exception. He got some extra special attention when a lightning storm rolled through and freaked him out.”
“Great experience with Simone! Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight was delayed, which made everything so much less stressful. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Corey was awesome and took great care of our little guy over an extended weekend. He was super prepared and organized and gave us peace of mind while we were away that our pup was in great hands.”
“Matt and Tiffany took SUCH great care of my boy! Tiffany kept me updated daily with pictures and texts - plus she took Vibo on a run every morning which he loved. Their home is beautiful, they have awesome dogs that Vibo loved playing with, an inground pool I'm sure he loved, and he came back happy as can be. Will absolutely book with them again, thanks y'all!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
We are soooo grateful for Haley!! Our dog comes home so happy and played out from bugging her dogs. I love knowing that he’s comfortable there and hearing that he’s been played with, cuddled, and loved like we would love him. We were extra thankful that Haley was available on such short notice, and was incredibly flexible with our schedule when we also had to extend the stay for a full day. Thank you!!
Mariana and her husband took very good care of my dog Enzo. They are very attentive, sweet and esay to communicate with which made the whole process easier for my husband and I. We can tell Enzo had a wonderful stay with them and became really good friend with their dog Benji. I would definitely recommend Mariana and would be booking manu more stays!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Sunnyvale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunnyvale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sunnyvale.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyvale. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Sunnyvale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 TX 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
