About: I have a love of dogs, I have my own dogs and some with special needs. We have three dogs that we call our babies 2 white labs (boy and a girl) and a Crocker Spaniel, a 3 month old GSP (German Shorthair Pointer) We (my husband and I) love animals we both were raise with animals (cats, birds, fish, and dogs) and love having them around and now, having our own “pack.” Our family love meeting new animals and new people and having them in to our home. I have taken care of other peoples dogs for overnights and play dates and always left happy and healthy ! I love traveling and I know it’s hard to be without all our love ones (animals) I will take care of them as my own! I am not currently working so the the dogs have free range of the house it is pretty dog friendly. Our dogs get feed twice a day feed once in the morning and then once at 5pm. I have a fenced in backyard and four dogs to keep them full of play time and plenty of treats keep them happy and healthy!
“Michael was fantastic! He always shows up on time and was incredibly patient with our nervous dog. He took the time to let our dog get comfortable with him and even brushed him out, which was a nice touch. Waylon absolutely loves going on long walks, and we’re excited to continue booking with Michael regularly in the future!”
“Elle did an amazing job checking in on my dogs Bruno and Boo and taking them for a walk while I was out of town for work. She took great care of them and I would book her again to take care of them any time!”
About: Hi, I'm Leslie! This is my alternative option since my husband refused to allow me and adopt another fur baby 😅. I've had dogs my entire life. From the time I was a toddler, dogs have been a constant and beloved presence in my world. Growing up, my family always had at least one furry friend, and caring for them became second nature to me. I’ve owned dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and responsibility. My daily routine includes long, enjoyable walks, playful training sessions, and careful grooming to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I understand the importance of personalized care and make sure to tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs and personality. My home is filled with love and laughter, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I genuinely love dogs and find immense joy in their companionship. If you’re looking for a reliable, passionate, and experienced dog sitter, I’d be thrilled to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. MEET AND GREET REQUIRED Dogs MUST be vaccinated. I’m an elementary teacher who is off in the summer and looking to keep myself occupied during this long break at home. I’m home all day basically unless I run to the store. I live in a house with a big back yard where your fur babies can run around and enjoy nature! We will always have someone out there as well to make sure everything is okay.

“Sarah has been caring for my dog for 7 months now. Sarah has awesome communication with me. My dog loves her. She informs of anything she notices during their time together. 100% reliable and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond daily! Thanks for all you do Sarah.”
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.
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!

I provide dependable in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special care instructions, and maintaining your pet’s regular routine to help reduce stress. I also worked at a veterinary office during high school (2005–2006), where I gained hands-on experience with animal handling, basic care, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and provide regular updates for your peace of mind.) have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I provide attentive care in your home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also respect your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
About: *If you would like me to do multiple 30 minute vists or walks, please book drops ins/walks. If you book house sitting please be aware it’s only one visit per day and I do not stay over night at a clients home* Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m your pets new best friend! I’ve always been told I have a “way” with animals and it has helped me create an understanding of them, their behavior and psychology. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a household with multiple dogs, cats and even exotics. The care and well being of animals is something I’ve been passionate about my entire life. In the future I’d like to go into the animal care or behavioral field so I’m trying to get as much experience in with as many different animals as possible! Special needs/seniors/etc are not a problem for me. I can guarantee that I will treat your dogs (or cats) with the same love and respect I show my own pack.
“Great as always. Thank you so much for being so reliable, NeTia! I really appreciate how attentive you are to Milo and all the care you put into each walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing Milo in such good hands.”

About: I have been taking care of my dogs since I was a sophomore in college and now I am in graduate school. My dogs are my life and I treat them how I would any person. I am stern, yet gentle with my training, we go on daily walks and play time is all the time. I can show you better than I can tell you. My dogs are my daily routine. I get up at 7am faithfully and take both dogs to the restroom, then it’s feeding time, then it’s play time in the apartment, then it’s nap time. My dogs are on a strict schedule and love it. This is everyday, non stop until the right results are permanent. My apartment complex has a back yard fenced dog area. The puppies are safe and free to roam or run as they like and please.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sunnyvale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sunnyvale.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyvale. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
