“Busra was very kind and loving as our little puppy had good time staying with her. She was quick in responding and providing updates. Will be going to her again when we need to. Thank you Busra.”
“Mike and Mindy were great sitters! They took great care of my pup who is dog reactive for the week I was out of town on vacation. They made sure to send lots of picture updates and I returned to pick up a happy pup. They were even kind enough to send her bone back to us via mail when we had forgotten it at their house after pickup. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike and Mindy and I will definitely be taking my pup back to them whenever I need to go out of town!”
“This was the first time boarding Benito and Kimberly did an awesome job. Kimberly kept us posted and took good care of Benito. Thank you Kimberly for taking care of him!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“He took good care of Snoopie during his stay. He even picked him up because his apartment has stairs which my dog was getting scared from. There was some issues but it got resolved and Snoopie was happy with him. Would prefer him next time.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the beginning, it was clear how caring, responsible, and genuinely passionate they are about animals. Our Powder was not only well taken care of, but truly loved while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Powder was happy, and clearly in love with Garrett when we returned — the best sign of excellent care. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with both your pet. We would recommend this pet sitter without hesitation to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional care. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“I had such a great experience with Jocelyn! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending regular updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s clear how caring and thorough she is - her family truly treated my pup like their own. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, and would absolutely book with her again!”
“A wonderful experience boarding my dog here! Qi took great care of my pup, kept me updated, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy throughout the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa and Vaughan tool wonderful care of our 10-month-old pup for our first weekend away. From our first communication to our pick up at the end of Birdie's stay, we were so impressed and grateful for the warm and thorough care they provided. The communication very easy, and they offered a meet-and-greet in advance, which was super helpful. They asked questions about her routines and preferences with attention to detail that made us feel Birdie would be in good hands. They sent photos during her stay which were so fun to see! We highly recommend Melissa and Vaughan! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl! We are grateful for your care!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my puppy Henry while he was boarded with her. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and lots of social time with other dogs, including puppies, which was perfect for him. She even took care of some grooming, which was a nice bonus. Henry came home happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be bringing him back to Megan soon. Highly recommend!”
“Sharmila and her husband took excellent care of our golden doodle Ava while we were out for 2 weeks . She regularly sent us pictures and videos and kept us posted on how Ava was doing . Ava needs medicines daily and is a little fussy with food - Sharmila had no issues at all with this and Ava looked very happy and healthy when we picked her up. She also got along well with Sharmila’s dog and couple of other dogs she was boarding at the same time . Am very glad we found Sharmila and will definitely board Ava with her again. Highly recommend her.”
“Yoona and Minjae are amazing with our senior dog Lucky. He gets a ton of stimulation throughout the day, it is a lot of fun for him. He enjoys Buddy as well, they seem like a great pair. We hope to continue booking with them again and again!”
“I will always recommend Diana to any dog owner! Diana is the best pet sitter we have found on Rover. Every time Ruby stays with her we are never worried about her because we know Diana treats her as one of her own 🥰. It’s sad that we are leaving the state but we hope to find someone just as great as Diana in Colorado.”
“John was great with our two dogs. He took care of them like his own pets. Very great communication and will definitely be using him again when we visit the Bay Area next time.”
“Sophia was amazing with my 10 year old rat terrier, Bailey! Bailey loves a lot of affection and slow walks where she can spend a lot of time sniffing and Sophia provided that and more! Bailey is a silly/goofy dog and I really appreciate that Sophia loved that about her as much as I do! This was the first time Bailey has stayed at another house without me since I adopted her 2 years ago, so I was feeling nervous leaving her. But Sophia was so communicative and responsive and it made me feel very comfortable while I was away! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing/seeing that Bailey was so happy and loved by Sophia and her family the whole time. Thanks so much, Sophia! We will be back!”
“Jason! We are more than grateful for all the love that you have to our baby boy. The attention and patience for him. Thank you for keeping us updated and the flexibility. He loves you and he loves to spend time with you and your backyard”
“Our pup had the best time with Weimin, Amy, and DooDoo. They spoiled her with such great love and attention. The backyard is a dog’s dream, and DooDoo is a such a sweet pup. They played with her, took her on walks, and made she she was happy and safe. She can’t wait to go back again.”
“Hae Ohk took wonderful care of our 3-year-old Corgi, Brie! She thoughtfully asked about Brie’s daily diet, sleeping environment, and special care needs beforehand. She also sent lots of happy photos throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Brie came home happy, healthy, and in perfect shape! Highly recommend Hae Ohk, and we’ll definitely book with her again! ❤️”

Nova had a fantastic time staying with Amy amd Coco for 4 nights. The check ins and photos were fun - and I loved that Nova was on a vacation while I was away on business. I highly recommend Amy she has a wonderful way with animals and a loving gentle energy - I am so glad I found her!
Nathan watched my 4 yr old labradoodle, Bug, for 10 days recently while I was on vacation. He kept me updated with pictures and videos of Bug and let me know overall how he was doing and settling in. Felt comfortable and confident that Bug was happy and being well taken care of. He was tired and happy when I picked him up.
We had a wonderful experience with Valentina and her husband! They were very flexible and accommodating, even though we weren’t able to meet beforehand. Our dogs got along great, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. We felt completely comfortable and knew our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them
It was our first time leaving Nash with Tingting, and she was amazing! She is very friendly, thoughtful, and attentive, and she kept us updated throughout his stay. Her care and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. We knew Nash was in good hands and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommended!
Chendi is truly the perfect host! We’ve tried several other hosts and she was the first one where our dog Teddy wasn’t in a rush to go home when we went to pick him up 😀 That meant that he truly felt love and affection while under her care. Also, Chendi followed all of our instructions exactly as specified, gave Teddy plenty of walks, and provided us with regular updates and photos during his stay. She has our highest recommendation and we would gladly trust her to take care of Teddy again without any hesitation!
Denisa was awesome! For the past few years, our dog has been watched by family members when we travel, but we recently moved so that is no longer an option. Our dog can have separation anxiety, but that was not the case with Denisa! I could tell by the daily video messages that our dog was very comfortable, happy to be around Denisa and family, and was thoroughly enjoying her stay! Denisa proactively communicated, responded to all my questions, and followed instructions carefully. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!

Manasvi was great with my pup. She gave lots of updates with pics and videos and was also super easy to work with. She’s a fast responder and her apartment was nice and cozy —she even has a small bed for whichever pup is babysitting which is so thoughtful. 10/10 recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Los Gatos is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $91 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Los Gatos. 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.
92% of sitters in Los Gatos 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 Los Gatos 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 Los Gatos.
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 Los Gatos 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.
