About: I've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.

“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!”
“Taylor took such wonderful care of our two pups, with detailed report cards and cute photos! She was so professional and she went above and beyond by making herself available last minute when our flight was delayed and we needed additional care.”
“Maria was amazing to my baby Zuri. Before actually walking my dog, she came to do a meet and greet with her and my dog loved her so I knew it would be a good fit. Today she picked up Zuri and she fed her for me gave her some water and spent a lot of time with her outside playing with her and she even gave her a toy and trimmed some hair on her face for me. I really appreciate the effort that she put into care for my dog, especially because I work long hours so it’s really important to me that I have someone that can support me in raising my puppy. I will definitely be sticking with Maria from now on.”
“Darrian was super attentive, professional, and caring for my pup. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a sitter that’s kind and personable with your pets. She communicates effectively with any updates. Remi loves her!!”
“Sydnee is an absolute saint of a human! She is so sweet and kind and takes care of our girl Bowie like she is her own pup. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! Growing up I’ve always had cats and dogs. It was normal for me to take care of friends and families dogs too. For a while in the past I fostered puppies and elderly dogs. I’m currently at home all the time so I have 24/7 availability! I’m willing to also meet at the clients house but it’s easiest for me to take care of them at my own home! I’m able to take care of pets in my own home. I have a 1 acre backyard and a big park right next to my house to take the dogs on walks!
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: Hello! My name is Vanessa, a dedicated pet lover with a special fondness for dogs, cat, and rabbits. I’ve experienced firsthand the peace of mind that comes from a trustworthy pet sitter.

I believe pets are family, and I’m committed to providing the compassionate, attentive care they deserve while you’re away. I want to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for.

I prioritize your pets safety, trust, and comfort by following your care instructions, and ensuring your home remains as you left it. I introduce myself to your pet gradually, with a calm and soothing approach to build trust. I’ll engage with them at their own pace to ensure they feel safe and not overwhelmed.

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.
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.
About: I truly love animals and I want the best experience for their care while their family is away. They deserve the best care available for their comfort. I work part time so I have time daily to care for animals and their households. I am available everyday of the week for your convenience. I have a one acre property that is fenced. Our property is well cared for and m animals receive monthly flea and heartworm treatment. I clean our cat’s litter box daily so that it remains fresh for them.
“Shana was absolutely fantastic. She came in my apt and took care of Jasper as if he were her own. Everything was exactly where I left it, no questions ask. I will definitely use Shana again if Jasper needs walking.”
“Ashley was wonderful during her visit with our pups! Even though it was just one visit, she was punctual, professional, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. She communicated clearly, often, and followed all instructions perfectly. Because of this, I was confident our pups were in excellent hands! We truly appreciated her help on such short notice and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and attentive sitter who truly enjoys being around animals and creating a safe, calm environment for them. I currently stay at home with my baby, which means your pet will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, they’ll never feel alone or neglected. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a gentle, hypoallergenic dog at home who is very friendly and well behaved, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and routines, whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a peaceful place to relax. What you can expect from me: • A clean, safe, and pet-friendly home • Lots of attention, affection, and supervision • Flexibility with scheduling when possible • Clear communication and updates while you’re away I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make their time with me as stress-free and happy as possible. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I’m home most of the day with my baby. I’m able to provide consistent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone and are always supervised. I follow a calm, structured routine and can easily adjust to your pet’s specific needs, energy level, and schedule. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, not something I squeeze in. I provide a safe, calm, and fully supervised environment for every pet. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space and only take a small number of dogs so each one gets plenty of attention. I’m careful with introductions and always prioritize safety and comfort. Pets get regular potty breaks, playtime, and a routine that matches what they’re used to at home. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, crate routines, or special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things familiar and stress free.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sunnyvale on Rover is $14.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 6,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sunnyvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
