I do not do boarding in my home due to my own pets that we have here but i love going to pet's homes to take care of them and walk them! you can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pets are doing.
“Courtney is absolutely amazing. She is so sweet with our crazy mini Aussie and our chi-Pom. She is on time, loving to the pups, and very respectful. Would recommend her to everyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs basically my whole life. I worked in a vet clinic in Forney and worked in the doggy daycare at North Forney. I’ve cared for hyper puppies and old little ladies/gents. I’ve seen aggressive, scared, or super needy animals. I have the patience to care for any personality, and I have been trained to restrain aggressive animals as well. I honestly love animals and i’m looking to have fun with any type of pet that’s out there! I’ll be home and free for most of the summer as I am not doing online college until the fall. I will be a substitute teacher at Lewis Elementary in Forney coming the fall as well. I’m looking to have fun with all kinds of animals, friendly or not! I am very passionate and willing to work with any animal. I adjust myself depending on the animals personality. I know pets are like people, all unique in their own way. I know how to give medication, prevent dog fights, restrain both cats and dogs. As well as give simple shots. I’ve worked in a vet clinic for a few months about a year or two ago. I can say i’ve seen many kinds of animals, aggressive or not, and i’m willing to take care of any animal and their needs. I have my own car so if an emergency happened, I am able to take care of it straight away. I have always had a love and passion for animals, and I hope your furbabies trust me too!
“Sarah is absolutely outstanding. Very rapid response, timely and accurate communication from start to finish. Sarah preemptively scheduled a meet and greet so there were no surprises and the schedule was confirmed. She took excellent of my two dogs, sent pictures and updates, and even put the amazon packages in the screened in porch for me. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough, I will definitely be using her professional services again.”

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of many dogs through out my years from small chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I currently own a German Shepherd, Blue Heeler and two Great Pyrenees that I love with all my heart. I have experience with many breeds and also with training dogs. I can potty train them and teach them a few discipline skills like sit and stays and also teach them funny tricks. I have always loved animals and I want to use this opportunity to experience more with animals as a future veterinarian. I believe becoming a dog sitter will help me have more experience with getting to know different dogs. I honestly believe this will be a fun experience to meet new people and their beloved pets.
“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: I have spent my entire life surrounded by fur babies! I have always taken great pride in my ability to sense my pets needs and accommodate them. I have a variety of experiences with different animal types. I am very good with accommodating senior animals. I also have the energy and drive to keep up with younger animals! I am available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any request! No job is too big or small! I have my 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home, both younger and older in age. They all have great personalities to ensure your fur babies have a buddy to make them feel welcomed and comfortable. In any drop in/ overnight visit, I will strive to make your fur babies comfortable with me as a guest in their home.
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: What sets us apart from other pet sitters is our extensive experience and genuine passion for animal care. With several years of hands-on experience, we have had the privilege of delivering newborn puppies and providing specialized care to pets with disabilities. Our approach to pet sitting is not just about ensuring that your pets are safe; it’s about providing them with love and tailored care that suits their individual needs. Our loving family includes our own English Bulldog, who are incredibly social and enjoy playing with other dogs. We make frequent trips to the dog park, which helps our Bulldogs stay well-socialized and happy. Our pets are up-to-date with their flea, tick, and heartworm treatments, and they thrive on regular exercise. We believe that playtime is just as important indoors as it is outside, so your pets will enjoy a mix of both during their stay with us. We would be thrilled to meet you and your family, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide your pets with the same high level of care and affection that we offer our own. Feel free to reach out to arrange a visit or ask any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends into our home! Pet care is an integral part of our daily and weekly routine, woven seamlessly into our lives. Here’s a glimpse into how it fits into our schedule: **Daily Routine:** - **Morning:** Each day begins with early morning walks for our English Bulldogs, ensuring they start the day with exercise and a chance to socialize. After the walk, we provide breakfast and any necessary medications or treatments. - **Midday:** Throughout the day, we monitor and engage with the pets, offering playtime, training exercises, and regular check-ins to ensure their comfort and well-being. - **Evening:** In the evening, we take another walk or visit to the dog park, followed by dinner and winding down with some indoor play or relaxation time. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, both physically and mentally. **Weekly Routine:** - **Health and Maintenance:** We stay on top of regular health maintenance, such as flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. We also schedule any necessary grooming or veterinary appointments. - **Socialization:** We make frequent trips to the dog park and arrange playdates with other dogs to ensure our pets remain well-socialized and happy. - **Training and Enrichment:** We incorporate training sessions and enrichment activities throughout the week to keep our pets mentally stimulated and to reinforce good behavior. By integrating these routines, we ensure that our pets receive consistent care and attention, creating a balanced and fulfilling environment for them. This same level of dedication and routine is applied to the pets in our care, so you can be confident that they’ll be treated with the same love and attention. The approach to pet care varies depending on whether we’re offering boarding, overnight stays, walking, or drop-in services. Here’s how we handle each scenario: ### **1. Boarding:** When pets stay with us for boarding, we create a home-away-from-home environment tailored to their needs: - **Comfortable Space:** Pets enjoy a cozy, dedicated space in our home, complete with their own bedding and toys to make them feel comfortable and secure. - **Daily Routine:** We follow a structured routine that mirrors their home life as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. - **Socialization:** Our English Bulldogs and other pets are great companions, and we facilitate supervised interactions to ensure a smooth integration. - **Health Monitoring:** We keep a close eye on their health, administering any medications as needed and ensuring they receive regular check-ups and care. ### **2. Overnight Stays:** For overnight stays in a client’s home, our focus is on maintaining their routine and providing peace of mind: - **Home Comfort:** We respect their home environment, ensuring everything is left as we found it and that their usual comforts are maintained. - **Routine Maintenance:** We follow their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping everything consistent to minimize stress. - **Security and Safety:** We ensure the home is secure and follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner to ensure their pet’s safety and comfort. ### **3. Walking:** Dog walking services are designed to give pets exercise and mental stimulation: - **Scheduled Walks:** We adhere to the agreed schedule, providing regular walks that meet the pet’s exercise needs and preferences. - **Route Variety:** To keep walks interesting, we vary the routes and incorporate different sights and smells, making each outing enjoyable. - **Leash Manners:** We reinforce good leash manners and ensure a safe, enjoyable walk, taking care to avoid any potential hazards. ### **4. Drop-Ins:** Drop-in services involve visiting pets to provide care while owners are away: - **Feeding and Watering:** We provide fresh food and water, following the pet’s regular feeding schedule. - **Exercise and Play:** We engage in playtime and provide some exercise, based on the pet’s preferences and needs. - **Health Check:** During each visit, we check for any signs of health issues and ensure the pet is comfortable and happy. - **Update Reports:** We keep pet owners updated with reports or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured. In all scenarios, the goal is to offer a consistent, caring experience that aligns with the pet’s routine and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are in our hands.
About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.

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. ♥️♥️♥️

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.

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.

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.
