About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA. I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time. My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.
About: I’m a great individual that has a lot of experience taking care of fur babies. ranging from big doggy’s to little dogs and puppies. Cats as well, many different breeds. Not only I care for these fur babies I make sure they’re SAFE & Happy! (: Pet care currently fits in my life 7 days a weeks as I’m a stay at home mom and I don’t go back to Uni until the fall. I offer great care and updates on any fur baby. My home is a pretty spacious 2 story home and a fenced back yard. I have an animal door leading right to the back yard as well. The neighborhood I live in also offers a park and sidewalk in the whole neighborhood making it safe for daily and nightly walks. (:
“Courtney was fantastic. She cared for our two babies (??) and we were very pleased. I loved seeing the pictures from the daily visits, which felt like we were never away. Luna and Lola were very happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
About: I lived in a ranch growing up, I have always been surrounded by the love and care of having animals and taking care of them. I have a very flexible schedule and have always been able to accommodate my animals growing up and have always worked around the time and effort! With the best respect and accommodations needed, I take care of pets as my own as well as the environment for I believe the safe space is something very valuable and will treat with genuine care.
“Eve and her husband were great. my cat Simon is very skittish but they both did a great job watching after and checking in on him during their drop in visits. They were extremely helpful and went above and beyond when a major water leak accident occurred at my home during their week of drop ins. I would highly recommend them to others and they have gained a repeat customer.”
About: We’re a family-owned professional pet care team that treats every dog like part of our own family. My husband and I proudly run our pet care business together, providing safe, reliable, and personalized care in a loving home-style environment. We’re highly rated on Google and recently expanded to Rover so we can continue building trusted relationships with more local pet parents. With experience managing high-volume daycare and boarding facilities, I specialize in structured, attentive care for dogs of all ages and personalities — including puppies, high-energy dogs, and pets that may need extra patience, supervision, or routine support. We also work on basic training reinforcement, socialization, and maintaining healthy daily routines while your pet is in our care. Our goal is to provide more than just supervision — we focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience where every pet feels loved, engaged, and treated like family. We believe in consistent communication, dependable care, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Always choose quality over price ! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, structure, and attention throughout the day. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare, boarding, and drop-ins, including weekdays and weekends. My routine is built around feeding schedules, playtime, rest periods, and maintaining a calm, safe environment so each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is my top priority. I provide a clean, structured, home-style environment with constant supervision and controlled group interactions based on each dog’s temperament. I’m experienced in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, and those needing extra attention or slower introductions. I follow feeding instructions carefully, monitor behavior closely, and keep pet parents updated with regular communication so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Fatima took such good care of my kitty! And never failed to send updates and tons of photos! I could not recommend her enough as someone to trust to take care of your fur baby❤️❤️”
About: With over 15 years of experience in private pet sitting and personal dog ownership, I have a deep love and sense of consideration for animals. For two years, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality care through Rover, building a reputation for reliability and attentiveness. Pet care is my only commitment, so I am available for those that need more than the technical pet sitting: drop ins through the day and stay overnight. I have stayed with elder pups who could not be alone longer than 1-2 hours. So, I can be as available within my bookings as much as I am needed. Outside of pet care, I lead a quiet, home-centered lifestyle. This translates perfectly into attentive overnight care for animals that thrive in a peaceful, calm environment. Pet care is my sole professional commitment, allowing me to be fully present for your companions. My long-term goals include finding community through pet-related events, pursuing volunteer opportunities, and eventually establishing my own dedicated care business. Everyone receives specialized interaction suited to their personality and energy level: For dogs, activities often include decompression/sniff walks, backyard play, and relaxed companionship like porch sitting or quiet couch time. High-energy pets receive engaging play and mental stimulation, while seniors or sensitive dogs receive slower, confidence-building interaction and low-stress movement. For cats, there could be wand play, chase-and-capture sessions, window or bird watch enrichment, brushing (if enjoyed), and calm social time on their terms. Between activities, I prioritize rest and normal household rhythm so no one is overstimulated or unsettled. I also maintain the cleanliness of pet areas and keep the home secure and lived-in (for overnights/extended stays).
“Ashley takes such great care of our baby Grogu… he loves being with her and can’t wait for her to come to our house and play and have fun!! Highly recommend Ashley!!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve cared for pets. Whether caring for my own or pet-sitting for others, my life has been surrounded with furry friends! I work part time, and my summer schedule is especially flexible as my main job follows the school year cycle. I am home a lot during the summer and have the ability to stay home if necessary as I know some pets need constant attention and oversight. I have a fenced yard and a 4 year old lab mix who LOVES to play! She will definitely help keep your pup entertained for hours. I have never had any issues with her being aggressive; she truly thinks everyone is her friend. I also have a German Shepherd! She’s sweet, but does tend to be a bit territorial. She likes to appear aggressive, but has actually done very well with other dogs! I have never experienced her causing an actual dog fight.
“Ashely is amazing! We found her on the Rover app and asked that she come meet our pups as one is very anxious around new people. She was so quick to appease us and our dogs took to her almost immediately. She sent photos and kept us updated through out the weekend. We will definitely be reaching out again if we have to be away from our pups.”

As someone who has dogs of their own, I know how much your animals mean to you. I have had experience with puppies, all the way to older dogs. Although I work full-time, I still have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I’m available for weekend drop-in visits and can stay in your home any day of the week to keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and ensure they always have a safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and keep owners updated throughout my visits or stays.
About: I have quite a bit of experience when it comes to caring for animals. I’ve personally taken care of my own dogs as well as family members. I can feed, bathe, walk, administer medication, and complete whatever duties needed to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I have experience in caring for puppies and senior dogs. I’ve also earned my certification to be a Veterinary Assistant. Im currently not employed full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am currently enrolled in my 1st year of Vet Tech school, but it will not affect me being able to work for rover. I have a fenced in backyard that is secure for my pets. I make sure that there’s nothing on the ground that can harm my pets. I keep a close eye on my pets while they are outside whether it’s to play or potty. I also have cameras for extra security. I plan to care for my clients pets like they are my own. If I’m visiting a clients home I would follow those same safety precautions.

“NaTia was professional, caring, responsible and a very nice person. She kept us informed during the drop in visits and sent photos of our dogs during each visit even though they refused to look at the camera. She truly whethered the storms to ensure they were okay. Thank for taking such good care of my pups on short notice.”
“She is legit the sweetest and most professional young lady. I had a dog sitter for the past 3 years but she moved to NYC. I contacted Jadah and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I travel for work and she will be my absolute go to forever !!!”
About: My summer break just started, so I'd love to spend as much time with dogs as I can. I'm known as the crazy dog lady among my friends - they tag me in almost every dog photo/video they see on social media. I had multiple dogs in the house growing, so I know how to take care of them - they were pretty much family and treated like my siblings. That's the same care I'll show your dogs during my stay. I'm available most times throughout the week and weekend, so don't hesitate to contact me. Can't week to meet and work with you and your fur babies! I’m a teacher on summer vacation with plenty of free time for pet care. I will be in town almost the entire summer, so I am available for anytime! I have a lot of experience nannying in people's houses, so I'll be sure to leave your place just as I found it. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Ava is seriously the absolute best sitter we could have asked for! She sent cute pics and checked in as soon as she saw that our pup had a little cut on her ear (from our darn cat), but she genuinely looked out for our 2 dogs and cat, and I was not worried about them for one second! We were gone 3 days and she was always right here for them. I can tell through the pics that they got so much love :) AND she went above and beyond and cleaned the cat box and picked up the dog poop in the yard, which she for sure didn’t have to do!! She just wanted to help out. Very easy to communicate with, very fast to respond, and very sweet! I will contact her first any time we need someone for the animals :)
This was a short trip away so we didn’t kennel our dog away from home. Mochi finally met Ann and it went well. She’s a very energetic 16 month old miniature schnauzer and loves people. Ann already loves Truffles the cat, so we’re happy she got along well with Mochi too. ♥️♥️♥️

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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sunnyvale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sunnyvale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
