“Stephanie did a wonderful job for us. I was worried about leaving our dog for ten days with someone I didn't know (this was my first time using Rover), and I could not be more happy. The report cards with comments and pictures were wonderful for my daughter, who was worried about her dog. I would use Rover, and Stephanie, again with no hesitation.”
“Bailey was great! I have a dog with special needs and she worked with him well. We had specific instructions and she was able to work with us in that regard. Would recommend Bailey for anyone with a pup! 👍”
“Amy is the best!! She took amazing care of our 3 kitties while we were out of town. Our cats normally hide from strangers so we didn’t expect her to get to interact with them much but they all came down to spend time with her each day. They usually are a bit stressed from others caring for them but with Amy they seemed very calm in the photos and videos she provided - and we could feel that as well coming home and seeing them! We already feel so much better about our upcoming holiday trip knowing Amy will be caring for them again!”
“Veronica was really thorough and gave great care to my two dogs. She provided summary after each visit with details and photos. My dogs obviously had a great time. I would love to work with her again in future. Great rover to recommend to anyone.”

“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”

I’ll keep you updated throughout each visit, and you can expect a daily summary with pictures so you always know how your fur baby is doing.
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Mitch is amazing! He looked after my dogs for 12 days during Christmas and seven days during Thanksgiving. I highly recommend him. He takes great care of the dogs and cats, and he’s very caring. My animals were so happy when I got back; they were really well taken care of. Thank you, Mitch, for everything!”
“Dakota was great! Prompt, took lots of pics and the boys loved spending time with him! He is also able to walk to hyper corgis at the same time and that says a lot! ? thank you!!”
“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”
“Ayla was a great sitter! She was prompt and took good care of Gus while we were away. He was well fed and had nice company. We would love to have Ayla watch our cat again in the future.”
About: I have a dog who is my whole entire world. I have always loved and cared for dogs and cats. Have done pet sitting for friends and family for the past 5 years I am currently in college and taking hybrid classes so I free 80% of the week. I am more than willing to discuss schedules and times. I like in an apartment with a small back porch but also a lot of grass and space around my apartment complex. I have a small maltipoo to keep your babies company. I can easily crate your baby if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 11,506 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunol. 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 Sunol 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 Sunol. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
