“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her again.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Chase’s stay for memorial weekend went well as expected! He is healing from two ACL injuries and he was well taken care of. He seemed relaxed and happy when we brought him home. Actually, he seems bored now. Thanks Janine and family!”
“Pam took great care of my puppy. She sent daily pictures & videos, taught him some new tricks, bathed him, & ensured he was cared for. I left my puppy with her for 1 week & he came back in tip top shape. Thanks so much Pam for all that you did to care for my puppy. I def will be booking again.”
“Giancarlo was supper accommodating and took great care of my dog. I wasn't there to drop my dog off, but I was not worried at all. Super professional, would highly recommend :)”
“Judi was great with Chesney. He had lots of walks, which he loves. She also took care of an unexpected health issue without hesitation, which we really appreciated.”
“Svetlana always takes amazing care of our Luna! We know that Luna loves staying with her and is treated like part of the family. She sends regular updates and has been extremely accommodating with our schedule.”
“Mary and her husband were great! They had a separate cat room where Misty stayed and was super communicative and flexible around pick up and drop off times. Mary also sent a lot of pictures and kept us updated throughout our cat's stay which we really appreciated. She even went out of her way to get special treats for our cat early in our cat's stay when she had a limited appetite. Overall, we definitely recommend her to others and are planning on having Misty stay with them again. :)”
“Our goldendoodle had a wonderful time with Linh and Torrey! They sent us multiple photos and videos every day and took him to the park to play ball. We appreciated all the media while he was away. We could tell he really enjoyed it there.”
About: While I am new to professional pet sitting on Rover, I lived with a friend's cat for 3 years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home environment. Through this, I deeply understand animal behavior, daily feeding schedules, hygiene, and how to build trust with pets patiently. As a former personal fitness trainer, I have great stamina and energy to keep up with active dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and engagement they need! I place the highest priority on safety, attentive care, and clear communication. I will always ensure leash safety and proper hydration, and keep you updated with cute photos and detailed walk summaries! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and full attention to walking and caring for your dog. I am available throughout the week for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. Whether your pup needs a quick midday relief walk or a longer exercise session, I can easily adjust my availability to match your daily routine and preferences! Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities during every walk. I always ensure proper harness and leash attachment, keep a close watch on the surroundings, avoid unfamiliar dogs or high-traffic areas, and pay close attention to weather conditions and hydration. After each walk, I will clean off their paws, refresh their water bowl, and send you detailed updates with photos.
“Kosar was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of our dog, including multiple daily walks and frequent photo updates. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Jita and Saji took wonderful care of my dog Penny! She is a little nervous being left at new places but she warmed up quickly and got along great with their sweet dog Thunder. They always sent daily pictures and updates are responded quickly to messages. I am sure Penny would be excited to stay with them again, and I would definitely recommend them to others!”
“This was a last minute request and Fan was really nice and easy to talk to. I appreciate how quickly she got back to me after my request and things went very smoothly. I was very happy with her services and will definitely go to Fan again when Ginger needs a sitter.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Over the years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends and family, gaining experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I look forward to giving your dog the same care, attention, and love I give my own! I spend most of my weekends at home with my own dog, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I love spending my weekends taking him on walks, playing with him, and working on training. He also loves playing with other dogs, so I think he’d be excited to have a new friend around! I’d be happy to welcome another pet into our routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I have a fenced front and back yard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air, as well as a doggy door for easy access. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves having other dogs around, so your pup can have a companion during their stay! I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while keeping them comfortable in their routine.
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”

Reema was AMAZING!!! If you want your prince or princess to be treated like the royalty they are, she’s your gal! Super responsive, wonderful home, yard, and care. Our guy spent two days in doggy day care with her while we were in town for a graduation and he was happy to see her, tail wags and all when we went back for day two. Highly recommend and she will be our go to when we’re back in the area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunol is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,850 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Sunol can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunol home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sunol.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sunol sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
