“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”
“I cannot recommend Monisa and David enough! We boarded our dog Charlie for two weeks with them, and he was treated like family. Monisa and David were incredibly communicative, they kept in touch with us frequently, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was very obvious Charlie enjoyed being with them ! He appeared happy and healthy upon our return . We will absolutely be booking with them again!”

“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”


“This was our first time with our dog staying overnight somewhere so we were a little apprehensive, but Janine made us feel at ease by giving us a tour of her house and how well she cares for her dogs. Maple also gets to play with other dogs so she loves staying there.”

“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”

“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”

“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”

“Peter took excellent care of my dog while I was away! I received great photos and could tell he was in wonderful hands. He returned home happy, healthy, and exhausted from all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend him!”


About: A couple of years ago, I never imagined I’d become such a dog lover. I wasn’t a “dog person” at first, but everything changed when our Mini Goldendoodle joined our family. Now 2.5 years old, she’s energetic, friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She completely changed the way I see dogs and inspired me to become a pet caregiver. I’m also a mom to two boys, ages 17 and 13, who share my love for dogs. Our home is active, caring, and full of affection, and we enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m currently welcoming select breeds, including Goldendoodles, Golden Retrievers, Cavapoos, Maltipoos, and other small to medium-sized, well-socialized dogs. I provide a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, provide regular exercise and enrichment, and send photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and help them feel right at home. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! I am a stay at home mom. I can give plenty of time to your little pups. I am available on holidays, weekends and weekdays until 5PM. I can extend, if needed I have a fenced yar and lot of space for your little paw to play around. I have a well behaved dog to give company to your little paws.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them goes far beyond simply caring for them. I genuinely believe animals are an extension of ourselves, each with their own little personalities, emotions, and ways of communicating. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’ve spent many years learning their needs, behaviors, routines, and the importance of giving them consistent love and attention. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for neighbors’ pets, along with gaining hands-on animal experience working in the animal section at the County Fair. There, I handled and cared for rabbits and helped visitors safely interact with them. Being around different animals has only grown my appreciation and connection with them. I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and intuitive with animals. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, picking up on their body language, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and timid, or need a little extra affection, I always want them to feel understood and cared for. I have a soft spot for absolutely all animals, regardless of their age, size, or species. Cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, you name it! I honestly love spoiling animals, spending time with them, and treating them like the little family members they are. I don’t believe pet care should ever feel rushed or impersonal. Every animal deserves genuine attention, patience, and affection, and that’s exactly what I strive to give. My goal is for every pet to feel at home with me and for their parents to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different routines, schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. You and your pet’s routine and comfort always come first! My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re in a second home, surrounded by love, comfort, and attention. I have a fully fenced and gated backyard for supervised outdoor time, food and water bowls, crates, two litter boxes, and a cat harness and leash if needed. There are no pet doors installed so they can’t sneak out the house, and doors will be closed at all times to prevent accidental escapes. Most of my home is carpeted with some tiles, and pets are welcome on the couches and beds if their owners permit it. I currently have four cats of my own, who are indoor-outdoor cats, but I can absolutely keep visiting pets separated in my own room or another designated space whenever needed. I take introductions and boundaries seriously and will never force animals to interact. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual preferences, whether that means feeding them in a specific location, following their usual meal schedule, administering medication according to their owner’s instructions, or giving them their favorite kind of playtime and affection. I keep a clean environment and make sure every animal is supervised and checked on consistently, even when they’re resting in separate rooms. Communication is something I take very seriously, too. I love sending frequent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day so owners never feel out of the loop. If you’d like, I can even keep a detailed activity log of your pet’s day, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and anything else worth noting. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as your pet feels staying here. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy giving them all the extra love, patience, and attention they deserve. Your babies are never just another booking to me. They’re family while they’re in my care.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Lili took amazing care of Molly and kept me updated with photos and messages, so I felt completely at ease while I was away. From walks to playtime, Lili went above and beyond to make sure all of Molly's needs were met. I highly recommend Lili to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Stefania while she cared for my dog, Shadow. She sent timely updates and plenty of pictures, which kept me at ease. I could tell she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout. What I appreciated most was her flexibility and the extra effort of dropping him home. Truly reliable and caring. I highly recommend her and would love to sit Shadow with her again.”

“Repeat customer-Luna loves all the friends she meets, the cuddles, walks, and play sessions that she gets from Marina and Anwar-thank you for taking good care of her. We love seeing all the updates you give us during her stay with you.”

“Shadow loves staying with Lihuan! She is extremely attentive to his schedule and he loves going for walks with her. When we dropped him off, he races to her with tail wagging! Thanks again!❤️”

“Max, his wife, and Toby are great. He was flexible with our pickup and drop off times, and was willing to do a meet and greet for our dogs prior to the booking. Max made sure to ask us about our dog's needs and schedules so that he could ensure a comfortable stay. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos. He seems very dog savvy and I felt comfortable with him as our sitter from the get go. We would definitely book with Max again - highly recommend!”

“Amazing dog sitter! Took care of our pups as if they were her own. I would highly recommend her. Our two boys loved her and loved being there. We will definitely use her again.”

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.

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.
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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunol. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
