“Amy was great! She asked lots of questions and was very kind with our senior dog, who requires oral medication 2x a day. Our dog enjoyed hanging out with Amy. Amy even left soothing content for dogs on YouTube when our dog was alone in the house. She sent me pictures multiple times a day. She took care of our house and left everything in great shape. Would definitely book again.”

About: I have adored animals my entire life from my first pup Benny, to my pet bunny rabbit Emma, to cuddling with alpacas in Peru. I am meticulous with my care, will give them endless love and attention, go on the best walks and adventures around Center City with them, and become their best pal! I’ve done dog sitting all my life - taking them on long runs or short walks, playing with them, feeding them special treats, and teaching them tricks (or at least trying to!!). A few things to know about me: I only take potty trained / house trained / crate trained / carrier trained dogs All pups are different and I can't wait to meet yours! I personally know how important it is to choose the right sitter, so I always start with a meet & greet so we can ensure you feel comfortable leaving your best friend with me!

About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic puppies, sticking to feeding schedules, giving lots of playtime and affection, or making senior pets feel comfortable and cared for, I always try to create a safe and stress free environment for them. I also make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I am available 24/7! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and care throughout the day. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.

About: I have three dogs currently I am caring for, they are treated like my own kids oldest is 9 years old. Prior to adopting my first, I worked at Ace Animal Hospital as reception and a procedure care assistant. I work a full time job, but have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons to play/walk with your pups. Open to reoccurring work where it makes sense, for your family. I am a good judge of animal temperament from my experience working at the vet, and can ensure that the experience will be beneficial to your family. I am adept in routine feeding, care administration, and active play with your doggos.

“Justin took amazing care of Rio and was incredibly attentive to all of his needs. He was very patient, followed every instruction perfectly, and made sure Rio was comfortable and happy throughout. On top of that, Justin was great with other pets as well, which gave me even more peace of mind. He treated my home with care and respect, just like his own. I’m truly happy with the experience and would absolutely love to have Justin back again for future sittings!”

“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”

About: I have a deep love for animals, and my own dog is like my son. His name is Potato. He’s incredibly loved, well cared for, and definitely spoiled with affection! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them as if they were my own family. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care in a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same love and dedication I give my own dog. I am available Monday through Friday except during this time 2:30 to 6:00 PM. If you need care for a longer period, I’m happy to discuss accommodations. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I take care of my dog by making homemade meals every day using healthy ingredients, give him healthy treats, and always make sure he has fresh water. We go on daily walks, play together, and he gets plenty of cuddles and attention throughout the day. I will treat your pet/family the same 🙂 I love taking Potato on adventures, and he’s traveled with me to more than six states. I make sure he’s always safe, comfortable, and included wherever we go.

About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

“Holly exceeded my expectation I had for a pet sitter. She arrived on time, immediately connected with Lily, and took the time to learn all about Lily's routine and preferences. Her questions showed how much she cared about providing the best possible experience for my dog. During her visit, Holly kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that Lily was comfortable, happy, and received excellent care. Holly is professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She has two dogs of her own. I feel fortunate to have found Holly and will absolutely book her again. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.”

About: Hello! I used to work at an animal hospital where part of my role was hanging out with the animals. There was a boarding facility in the back and on my break time I used to go back and hang out with the dogs. I have a good amount of experience hanging out with dogs. My coworkers used to say I had a magic touch with dogs and was able to help them feel comfortable. (Mainly I respected their space if they wanted it but was very, very open to playing and saying hello). I work from home consistently from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, so I am able to stay with your pet during those work hours!! I do it already for my cousins when they travel. I am able to take animals on short walks in the morning, and after work. I can also let them out for potty breaks. I can also help with feeding and provide general companionship (*depending on how vocal they are during meetings).

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunol

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 7,596 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sunol walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sunol maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sunol choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunol. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
