“I was very nervous and never used Rover before. But sofiya took great care of my puppy. She made the whole process very easy. My puppy was very sad she had to come home to her boring parents. She was great!”
“Juliana kept us informed and sent us pics of our pup on a daily basis. We loved she walked him with other dogs every day, which he enjoys and loves. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and you could tell he's been receiving amazing care. I will for sure book again with Juliana in the future !”
“Kelly was awesome with my 2 cats, very accommodating and spent lots of time with them, trying to make them comfortable. She sent a lot of updates with video and pictures. Lots of room at her home for the cats to roam around in and hiding spots to make them feel safe. Thanks Kelly!”
“Our dogs were so happy with Kimberly’s care, they didn’t even get overly excited when they saw us when we picked them up. They did some zoomies at home and then fell asleep since they had so much fun at Kimberly’s place. We will definitely ask for her help again when we can’t take our furry kids with us.”
“Hi, I can tell when my dog was not stressed upon return from a boarding experience and our dog, was happy when no the caring hands of Steve and co. I got regular updates and My dog went on long walks and hikes. He had the company of other dogs and behaved in Steve’s presence- him being a trainer himself. Both the parties felt that it was a good fit - before boarding. Will not hesitate to recommend Steve with a glowing 5-stars!”
“Fantastic! Lanie, Matt, and their kids are an ideal family for my big energetic lab Clyde. He loves visiting houses that buzz with activity and between the walks and backyard play he came home tired and happy. Won’t hesitate to send Clyde over for more fun weekends.”
“Took care of my pup Tofu, he well cared for and they went above and beyond by getting exposed to the outside world with many walks and treat play. We felt at ease and happy seeing Tofus update and silly side of him from all the pictures and videos !”
“Rachel and her husband took good care of our dog, Bean. Bean certainly enjoyed the friendship with their dogs too. Thank very much for taking care of Bean during our vacation.”
“Would definitely book again! Him and his family were caring and kind to her while we were away for a few days. He sent multiple updates throughout her stay. Finally found a permanent sitter to come.”
“Bali kept us updated frequently about how our kids were doing throughout the day with messages and pictures. Our dogs seemed happy. Bali and her family also seems to have enjoyed hosting our dogs. Will definitely rebook in the future”
“I would definitely book again with Aadya! She was great and my anxious dog came back very happy from her house. I have a senior dog who requires medication and loves being an only child. I love how she only boards one dog at a time.”
“Amy was excellent with her care with Oreo. She opened her home for our dog. We received pictures and updates frequently which reassured us that Oreo was well and in excellent care. Amy expresses sincerity and support for her clients. We highly recommend Amy and look forward to seeking her services in the future. Oreo loves Coco and friends, too!”
About: I had a Golden Retriever, raised him from baby till old. He is with my parents now. My whole family are big time dog lovers. We walk frequently. There’s play time and treats time to learn something and I have 2 kids. 11 and 9 year old. They also love dogs and play together. I have a house with fenced yard. Great and super clean house. Dog can sleep on my couch. Not on bed. I clean the fur all the time.
“Mamie and Chen were exceptional sitters for my dog Pippa this past weekend, taking her on short notice and going out of their way to make Pippa feel very happy and comfortable during her stay. They did a great job accommodating her specific needs and managing her medications. They kept us updated with great photos and insightful observations and feedback. Pippa loved their cozy apartment complex, which is nestled in redwoods and walking-distance from a nice park. We will definitely be reaching out to Mamie and Chen again for future stays!”
“Michael was a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He has a wonderful home with a nice backyard. Sent pictures and a message every day so we didn't feel too far from her. I will definitely bring Roxy back again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Gatos
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!
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!
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

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.

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.
