“Ava was absolutely amazing, I was extremely nervous to use this service but in the end Ava made things do comfortable and kept me well informed the entire time. She was on time and did a great job!”
“Elle is fantastic! She takes great care of my kitten. It’s not always easy to find a sitter on Rover who is great with cats, so I really appreciate knowing I can trust her.”
“Carla is great! She has done two drop-in visits for us and she is amazing with our dog Mac! She responds quickly to messages and she is very accommodating. She sends us pictures and updates from her visit with Mac and he seems to really enjoy his time with her. She has even worked on some commands with him and seems to genuinely care. We couldn't be more pleased with Carla and hope she can continue helping us out.”
“Mary has been absolutely amazing with my two giant pups! 🐾❤️ They’re a whole lot of dog, and she has been so sweet, patient, and caring with them. She always goes above and beyond during her visits, and I love the pictures she sends me, they always look SO happy to see her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and being loved on while I’m away. She’s quickly become one of their favorite people, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Kendra is the SWEETEST to my furbabies! She has given me so much peace while I’ve been away and has been communicating with me the entire time. I’m beyond grateful to her for her kind disposition and care for my babies. HIGHLY recommend. Look no further!”
“Michael was wonderful and my girls loved spending time with him, the pictures started to make me question if they had a new favorite human haha. He was completely flexible when I changed my vacation dates just two days after confirming, and even on the last day of my booking when I came home early. I will absolutely look for Michael again during my next trip, he made it much easier to enjoy my time.”
“This is our second time booking with Heather! She is the most trusting and reliable dog sitter out there! She goes above and beyond. My boys love her. Communication is 10/10!”
About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA. I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time. My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter! Appreciated the pictures every visit and Cristina couldn’t have been better with my kitten right after he had surgery. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Eve & her husband came out to meet my crew before I left town, and my protective lab feel asleep at his feet while they were here. He truly seems to be the dog whisperer, is so gentle and kind, and got my Charlie girl to warm up to him on the second visit, which is hard to do. I would definitely recommend them to watch your pets and would use him again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve been a pet haver since childhood and a pet owner for 4 years. My primary experience with dogs are of the medium to large variety such as border collies and labradors. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters to play with and walk dogs dogs along with cleaning their space. I’m currently a full time teacher and is available in the afternoon, weekends, and holidays. On weekends and holidays I’m able to stay for extended periods of time. I’m pretty big about respecting boundaries pets are demonstrating through their actions or reactions. I’ve also huge on personal safety and the wants/needs of the owner.
“Angelica is absolutely wonderful! She really goes the extra mile taking care of my cats. She is caring and loving with my cats. I have used her for two years and wouldn't use anyone else!❤️❤️”
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.
“Stephen exceeded my expectations. I was really worried about leaving my boys and he not only talked me through the whole process he was very reassuring. Not to mention, I think the boys were sad when it was me coming home instead of him; they loved him. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Haylee was great about communicating timing and making sure that my dogs were taken care of during my long days at work. Very respectful of my house and made me feel better during my work days knowing my dogs were being taken care of.”
“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!”

Rachel did an excellent job when watching our dogs while we were out of town! Her communication was incredible, and I loved the pictures and videos. She was never in a hurry and sometimes stayed longer than expected. We will definitely be using Rachel in the future.

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 .
As of September 2026, there are 6,774 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunnyvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
