“Michael is wonderful to work with. He came over for an initial meet-and-greet with our two dogs, including our German Shepherd who can be a bit territorial, and the visit went very well. Michael was patient, calm, and confident, which immediately put us at ease and helped our dogs feel comfortable with him. We really appreciate his willingness to do multiple visits to build trust and ensure a good fit. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with him and feel confident our dogs are in great hands.”
“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.”
“Our long time dog sitter recently moved and I was really nervous about finding someone to watch the pups. My sister recommended the rover app and boy did I get lucky by finding a great sitter my first try. Elle was gracious and understanding when I needed to alter the schedule just before leaving on our trip and better than that did a great job with the pups! They were happy to see us of course but not mad at us when we got home as they received great care and attention while we were gone! I highly recommend Elle!”
“Heather was a lifesaver on really short notice when our usual dog sitter cancelled a few hours before I left on a trip. She responded immediately and even without meeting them in advance, she was amazing with my 2 French bulldogs. She sent lots of photos and updates and I didn’t have to worry about them at all! When my flight home got delayed, she was able to add another visit on moment’s notice as well. I’m so grateful for Heather’s help and care!!”
“Carla has been amazing! She has gone above and beyond for us working with our crazy schedules and the occasional clean ups! Not to mention our pup loves his time with her!”
“Stephen did an awesome job sitting for us! Our dogs managed to get out of their run, but he saved the day by fixing the broken boards. He went above and beyond to help us. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend him, he is great with dogs!”
“again, lisa came thru on short notice- always reliable, she has made my life so much better! i was swamped at work and didn’t have time to get my home or bubba’s litter area as neat as i wanted it, and i came home to my place even nicer than when i left, which was SO nice”
“Kendra took wonderful care of my cats. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated with as needed. I really like that she was responsive and comfortable with both of my cats.”
“Emma will be booked again by us. She called & spoke with me, at length about Finley’s very specific needs. She followed every instruction to the letter. Thank you so much, Emma!!! We 🩷’d having you.”
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.
“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 !!!”
“Phenomenal - so sweet with my girl, Maple. She took great photos, fed her, played fetch and left the tv on for her so she’d have something to listen to while I was gone. Highly recommend.”
“Kayla was so sweet and took very good care of my furry babies, making sure they were able to potty and even cleaned some potty accidents. Will certainly reach out to her if I need a pet sitter ❤️”
“Elyssa is great!! She was so kind and patient with our 2 big pups and spent extra time giving them love and attention. She is very communicative and we would absolutely recommend her!”
“Carmen is amazing, a great communicator and very loving with our elderly dogs. She always goes above and beyond when I’m traveling to relieve any anxiety or stress I may have when I’m leaving them.”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”
“Shatara was GREAT!!! She took care of my fur babies as of they were her own. She kept in contact with me and called/Text me of she had questions. I HIGHLY recommend Shatara!!! Thanks do much!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sunnyvale on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnyvale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
