“Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Rocky! He took to her right away, and it was clear from the start that he was comfortable and happy in her care. She was reliable, conscientious, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking Adrienne again. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had my dog Samba for about 8 years. When we adopted him I promised my parents that I would walk and take care of him, and I have kept. that promise ever since 😆. I also enjoy pet sitting for friends and neighbors dogs/cats/guinea pigs/bearded dragons. I’m an incoming college freshman and I want to stay busy doing something fun before school starts in late September. I’m an incoming college freshman and I want to stay busy doing something fun before school starts in late September. I am essentially free every day and most of the time, the whole day. I’m also willing to wake up early or stay up late. I think it really depends on the type of pet, but for dogs I usually let them out in the morning after waking up, right before going to bed, and any time in between that they need to go. Walks will be 1-2 times a day to the park or around the neighborhood, and playing in the backyard is an option too if the dog seems interested. In a clients home it will probably be the same, or different as requested.
“Sumaira is always on time and I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies. While walking my Siberian Husky another dog that was unleased attacked my dog. Sumaira safely got my girl home and check her out from head to toe. She promptly notified me that the husky was attacked, however alright. Sumaira let me know there was a little blood on her ear, however she did not appear to be injured. I myself have had another dog attack us when we were walking. Sumaira did the responsible thing and notified me and ensured my girl was alright. In this type of situation that is best can be accomplished and despite this incident I will ask Sumaira to walk her again.”

“It was so nice to have Danielle walk and play with my puppy while I was at work. I was relieved knowing Luna was in good hands. Danielle came at the agreed upon time and took Luna for engaging neighborhood walks.”


About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. There's always been a cat curled up somewhere or a dog waiting by the door, and taking care of them has never felt like a chore to me. It's just what I do. I work from home, so I'm around a lot during the day and can usually work around your schedule, even for midday visits or last-minute plans. If I'm looking after your pet, you'll hear from me. I like sending updates and photos so you actually get to see how your dog or cat is doing, not just a generic "all good" message. I'm new to Rover, but pets have never been new to me. I'll take care of yours the way I'd want someone to take care of my own. I work remotely, which means I'm home most days and have some flexibility built into my schedule. I can usually fit in midday drop-ins, walks between meetings, or last-minute visits that a lot of sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs can't accommodate. Afternoons and evenings tend to be my most open windows, but I'm generally easy to reach and can adjust as needed. I treat your space and your pet's routine with respect. I follow the feeding, medication, and care instructions you provide exactly as given, and I keep your home secure the whole time I'm there. I pay close attention to your pet's body language and comfort level, especially with cats or nervous dogs who need a little more patience before they warm up to someone new. If anything seems off with your pet or your home while I'm there, I'll let you know right away.
“Despite me making an appointment with very short notice, Mamoo was super responsive and suggested doing a meet & greet the same night I made the booking, to be ready for the walk the next morning. When they met, my dog, Hanoi, was pretty nervous, barking defensively for some reason, but Mamoo handled it to perfection, allowing Hanoi to control the interaction, without Mamoo losing the role of authority. Thanks for your dedication to making it work, even when Hanoi didn’t make it easy. 100% recommend.”


About: * Long walks, happy paws, and loving care. * Where every walk feels like an adventure. * Treating your pets like they’re my own. * Making tails wag and pet parents smile. * Trusted pet care with a lifelong love of animals. After recently retiring, I now have the freedom to spend my time caring for pets. Staying active is important to me, and my daily 4-mile walks make me a great companion for dogs who enjoy exercise, adventure, and lots of attention. I specialize in drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at your home so your pets can stay where they feel most at ease.

“Sydney has walked my dog, Louis, on several occasions. His interaction with Louis is very positive and Louis is excited when Sydney comes. Sydney has always been on time and sends pictures during the walk to let me know that he has Louis. I definitely recommend Sydney!”


“Heidi is an excellent and professional dog walker. We appreciate her for taking care of our dog, cats and turtles when we were traveling, that’s lot of works but she’s done well. We would be very happy to recommend Heidi our friends.”

“Really good experience with Pam taking care of Pepper. She was super proactive in timely communicating and sending photos and video clips when on walks with him. She puts in extra time when needed to make sure Pepper is taking care of well. Sometimes she brings another dog for a fun walk in a pack. Now I know Pepper is actually enjoying it so I am happy she tried this with him. I can always recommend her for your dog sitting or walking needs. Klaus”

“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats, and today I’m the proud dog mom to Leo, my 4 month old Siberian Husky. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I have several years of experience house sitting and caring for pets while families are away. I previously worked as a nanny for a family and was also responsible for caring for their energetic Labrador, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he received plenty of attention and exercise. That experience made me very comfortable handling large, high energy dogs. I also regularly care for my dad’s 3 year old German Shepherd/Husky, Luna, and have house sat for them on numerous occasions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing reliable care so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands. I currently have a flexible schedule Monday through Friday, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care visits, walks, and check ins throughout the day. This flexibility means I can tailor my availability to each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning feedings, midday drop-ins, or evening care. Because of this open schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines, which helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m also able to adjust my day as needed to ensure reliable timing for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. Pet care naturally fits into my routine, and I prioritize it as a meaningful part of my week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so incorporating visits and care throughout my day feels seamless and rewarding. I prefer to care for pets in their own home or take them on walks around their neighborhood, as I currently have my own young puppy at home. I find that pets are most comfortable and relaxed when they’re able to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent experience that mirrors their usual schedule. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning if needed, exercise, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. If in the future, it works out to where our animals get along with each other, I would not mind making a special arrangements to care for your animal at my home. For dogs, I enjoy structured walks around their neighborhood so they can feel secure in familiar surroundings while still getting the exercise and enrichment they need. For cats and other pets, I make sure their environment stays clean, calm, and stress-free while they receive attentive care. My goal is always to provide reliable, in home care that keeps pets comfortable and helps owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Scott’s amazing. He is always on time or before time for the walks. My dog java absolutely loves going for walks with him. Definitely recommend him. Looking forward to booking more walks with him.”


About: Hi, I'm Arthur Jackson and can't wait to meet you and your companion. I am a Certified Dog Trainer with Animal Behavioral College and I have 2 dogs of my own, ages 7(German Shepherd) and 2(Mini Aussie Border Collie) which I have both raised from puppies. Currently I am only offering walks to clients in a five mile radius to where I live and I am available from 7am - 3pm Monday through Friday. I take pride in all my work and since I am offering a service I want to do it to the best of my ability always improving. Hope to see you soon. I'm currently working as a martial arts instructor and have recently been certified as a dog trainer. As I teach martial arts in the late afternoon to night, I am available 7am - 3pm Monday through Friday for dog walking or sitting. Weekends are a more flexible schedule for me if you are looking for a later time dog sitter or walker. I currently do not offer dog sitting in my home. If you would like pet sitting, I do offer in client's home pet sitting and will abide by your rules and regulations and give your dog the care and attention he or she needs. Best house sitting days are Saturday/Sunday.
About: I am an energetic, sociable, caring, athletic, intelligent and fun loving person. You might say I have the spirit of a dog! I have owned dogs since I was a child and cats for my adult life and know what it takes to keep a fur baby happy and healthy. I have worked with dog groomers and have house sat for years. I get along with animals well and know how to handle many different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. I can take on anything a difficult situation might throw at me all while maintaining my positive attitude! I am a recent MSW grad starting my next job in August at a Non-profit, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to spend spoiling your pets and showering them with love over the summer. I look forward to meeting your fury family members! As a recent MSW grad, I have a lot of flexibility in hours and days that I am available. I am also a cat mama (co-parent), so I am accustomed to feeding my girls 2x/day, playing with them frequently, and snuggling them as much as possible. I let animals speak to me through their energy and body language and take their lead. Animal comfort and joy is my priority. My calm yet engaged demeanor usually puts pets at ease.
About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care, I am also available for part time + available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since 2015. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy and treat business which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.

“Julia was great! She took many wonderful, long walks with Hunter. She also played with him, took him to the dog park and spent extra time with him. We are extremely thankful that Julia and Hunter were able to bond and that Hunter was exercised while we were out of town. Julia came to our house everyday while we were on vacation and we appreciate all the extra time she spent with Hunter. He was very excited to see her when she came to drop off our house key and I could tell that she was very kind and caring. We will definitely call you again, Julia! Thank-you so much. Liz and Peter”

Ava is great with my senior girl. She allows Callie to go at her own pace and understands that new smells are Callie’s favorite. Ava was even willing to drive her to a nearby park to mix it up a bit so she wasn’t always walking in the same areas. Good communication and very considerate, I definitely recommend Ava!

Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Rocky! He took to her right away, and it was clear from the start that he was comfortable and happy in her care. She was reliable, conscientious, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking Adrienne again. Highly recommend!

Anke is the best of the best. We used Rover for the first time to help out our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dog needs special help as he is diabetic. Anke gave us full confidence and she discovered skin allergies on our other dog which we had missed. She took utmost care of both of them and we felt very relieved and safe. She would stay in touch with us daily and took charge of all our pet's needs. I would highly recommend Anke -- we are super thankful to have found her.
Sydney was so responsive and easy to work with for a last minute care request! We did a quick meet and greet, which was appreciated for my peace of mind and to be sure my dog was familiar with her. She send along photos and updates from his walk that were thorough and timely. Thank you, Sydney!!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Los Gatos on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,990 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Los Gatos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Los Gatos. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Los Gatos.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Gatos. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
