About: I've been taking care of my family and friends pets for as long as I remember. Everything from gentle giants to tiny sassy dogs, I enjoy gaining dog's trust and ensuring a good time for everyone. I am currently unemployed and have PLENTY of time and love to ensure your pet is well taken care of. I offer plenty of flexibility during the week and offer Saturday morning with prior notice. During check-ins I like to be very thorough about my visit and report all of the sassy side eyes and crazy tail wags. I let your pets guide my check-ins, for my more social, cuddly friends, I have plenty of belly rubs. For my more independent friends, I'm happy to watch them in their solo activities.
“Courtney took great care of my dogs and house while I was out of town. She was extremely flexible with the scheduled drop ins and very responsive to any messages. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Shana is amazing with Louie. She has been a lifesaver as I’m not able to get home to snuggle Louie over lunch! Thank you so much for everything you do! I will be booking every week :)”
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was little I love to build that bond with them and letting them know I am here to comfort them and be their freind I love learning new things about each and every pet down from being silly ,tricks, or even boundaries that will help me make that better bond with them I would love to be able to be apart of your fur baby’s care :)) I can tend to pets early during the day mid day and even night time to walk them feed them and get them some play time :) I can pet sit at the pets home and be able to tend to them when needed to be walked fed or even play time !
“Such a great experience! They were so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, they took amazing care of my dog and treated them like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 10+ years for family, friends, coworkers, and other referrals!! This is something I’ve enjoyed and decided to expand my services! I’ve taken care of healthy, elderly, disabled, and pets under recovery, all shapes and sizes!! Im self employed so I’m typically available to turn my full attention to pet sitting!! My time is very flexible and majority of the time I’m able to accommodate to your preferred schedule. My referrals — the ones you won’t find on the internet — speak for themselves! My clients trust me enough to have me stay full weekends overnight, knowing their pets are cared for and they can have complete peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I am a very genuine and caring person . I love all type of animals and i am a mom to two fur babies myself. Your pet will be cared for in a safe environment. I currently work from home so your pet will be looked after full time. I am able to keep a close eye on them as well as taking them for walks every 2-4 hours providing them with proper nutrition, fresh water, regular exercise, a safe environment, necessary medications, hygiene practices, and mental stimulation, while also adhering to their specific needs and routine, including taking them to the bathroom as needed
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.
About: My love of pets began young, as my family always had at least one (and up to three) dogs growing up. My journey of independent pet ownership began when I was 18, moved out, and immediately acquired a plethora of pets. Currently, I am home to 1 dog (Bees) and 5 cats (Yuna, Jody, Mittens, Zeus, and Hera). I began (unofficial) pet sitting at 14, when I would watch my neighbors pets while they were out of town. Since then I have volunteered with Austin Pets Alive! and Dallas Pets Alive! (both incredible organizations) as a foster parent and to assist with cleaning, walking, and playing with their in-shelter animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, cows, fish, and chickens, but am happy to do additional research to learn more about another type of pet if needed! I also have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dog/cat care including giving medication, administering IV fluids at home, and wound care. I love all sizes, ages, and temperaments of pets and would love to provide some snuggles, playtime, and long walks while you're away! I currently work full-time in an incredibly flexible job, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your pet during the work day (M-F) and all day on the weekends! I like to start the mornings and end the (early) evenings with a long walk (I also have cat walking experience!). I can guarantee a potty break a minimum of every 2 hours and a minimum of a combined 2 hours of active time (walks, playing) throughout the day for pets who have a lot of energy! For your pets safety, I will follow any guidelines you provide me to ensure they do not become unnecessarily stressed by a change in routine. I can crate your pet (if desired) and always provide active monitoring of all outside time to ensure they don't Houdini their way out of the yard. I also NEVER assume your cat is an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat unless you EXPLICITLY STATE that I should let them outside. Even for indoor/outdoor cats, I can keep them fully inside while you are away for peace of mind. I also provide daily photo updates so you can see for yourself that your family member is happy and well taken care of!
“Beverly was so amazing, she was great at communicating and even helped clean up a little extra after our three cats. They all seemed very happy when we got home. We will definitely use her again ♥️”
About: Great with cats (and dogs too)! Real life experience with gentle senior cat care and cat’s with health issues needing medication (I had a cat with diabetes for several years). I understand how hard it is to leave your pet even for a short trip. I will take care of your pet the way I would want someone to take care of mine! I work from home and I would be able to take care of one or two pets at a time. My schedule is open for daily drop ins with a limit of 1-2 pets. I have cared for my daughter’s dog in our home on occasion. We have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs with supervision. We also have a cat room in our home that has appropriate furnishings to keep cats comfortable and occupied.
“Alice was great with Mae! It isn’t always easy letting people in your house when your away but she followed instructions, sent plenty of updates and pictures and even came over to meet us face to face!”

About: hello! I have 8 years of experience with dog sitting and taking care of pets. I own two dogs of my own, and I regularly dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors.

“Camisha and Omari came to meet my two dogs. They were on time and answered all my questions. I could tell they love dogs, and would do a great job with mine for drop-ins. They even brought treats, which was nice. I will be going with them for my drop-in visits.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Ava did a great job checking in on Ruby! She started her check in on the app, left a thorough note letting me know how the visit went and sent such great photos showing all the fun Ruby was having. I feel so much less puppy mom guilt on long days in the office when Ava can come do a drop in visit with Ruby. We feel so lucky to have found Ava on Rover.
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. ♥️♥️♥️

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.
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 .

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.

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.
