“Christine took such good care of our dog Danny Boy while we were away for 10 days! She came by our house twice a day to feed and walk him, as well as let him romp around in our backyard. As a 15-year old dog, he doesn't always have an appetite and is sometimes not enthusiastic about his walk. When we returned he looked healthy, had a good appetite and was happy to take his walks. We liked getting the photos Christine sent daily, it was reassuring while we were so far away. Danny Boy really likes Christine and her daughter and is very comfortable with them - they're the best!”
“Riley was excellent with our dog Nova. She was on time for morning walks for two full weeks while we were on vacation. She provided Nova with plenty of exercise and care and provided us with detailed updates and lots of photos. We will definitely book Riley again!”
“Jill is very professional and thorough. She made sure to let me know how the walk was going and was exceptionally sweet when it came to me being nervous leaving our little one home for the first time. Stella absolutely adores Jilland actually cried when she left after the first meeting! Highly recommend Jill!!”
“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.”
About: I used to volunteer at the San Jose Animal Center and the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley I worked at an animal hospital for a year as a veterinary assistant I trained my one-year-old kitten to wait, sit, shake, turn around, and high-five, as well as my friend's puppy. I just graduated from college and moved back home during my gap year before I start veterinary school. I have time every day to pet sit. I have a large backyard that dogs can play in and an area for a crate if needed. I will make sure that your pet feels safe and loved at either my house or yours. I will follow the instructions left for me very carefully. Your pet will get lots of snuggles and playtime. I plan to give them the best care possible while respecting their boundaries.
“Christopher was timely and communicated well. Sunny took to Christopher immediately during our meet & greet. I had no worries during my business trip. Will definitely hire Christopher again!”

Please feel free to reach out anytime, my schedule is flexible, I will be happy to provide care and love for your furry family members. I take pet safety and home care very seriously. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pets’ normal routines, and keep your home tidy and secure.

About: I have always loved dogs, big and small! I am mama to 2 schnauzers, Hula and Sadie. Currently available full time for your pet. I have a fenced patio where we hang out in the sun. We also go on walks, car rides and the dog park (Campbell/Los Gatos). I will care for your pup as if they were my own. Come join our “pack”. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time for play time and walks. I’m available for daycare, walks and boarding. Also snuggle time! I have a fenced patio and two pups to keep your dog company. I can crate your pup or lounge in dog beds. My girls are never far from me, as your precious one will be, as well.
“Elizabeth was great! She communicated really well throughout the entire process and took great care of our dog. Very reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Cassidy is great! I always get thorough updates and she has been flexible with our last minute requests. She is very capable and experienced and I know my (sometimes anxious) pup is in good hands!”
About: He tenido mascotas desde niña. Mi amor por los animales es enorme, velo por su bienestar. Ellos lo son todo para mi. Ellos son felices conmigo. I'm at home every day. My care will be full-time. They will feel at home with me. I love going for a walk with them. I have a closed yard where the pets go out to sunbathe and during the day they are inside the house. I really enjoy your company.
About: Animals have always been my best friend. My entire life I’ve been surrounded by animals, having 2-3 dogs & a cat at all times. I’ve been through the month old puppy stages & the rough old times. Dealt with tantrums and accidents, and loved them still all through it. I have been dog-sitting since I was 16 and still do to this day! Sleeping with them so they don’t get too lonely at night, checking in multiple times daily to feed, give water, play, cuddle, and take on walks. Currently, and for the past year, I walk 2 dogs together, every morning. There’s no job too big for me! I am very flexible and available during the days, week and weekends. I currently walk dogs from 10-11:30am, and the rest of the day and night I am free for however many check ins your doggo needs and for sleepovers! I have been housesitting with and without dogs for many years, so I am well prepared and comfortable with new environments and how to accommodate your household to your liking! I’m used to notes & or instructions on exactly how you wish for my stay to go, no needs are too big or small! I stick to common areas and outside, wherever your canine loves to roam.
About: Many years ago I worked as a vet tech. I have been involved withwildlife and pet rescue literally all my life. I have successfully raised a few well-mannered, helpful and obedient dogs. My pups always have chores (ie: retrieving the newspaper, carrying in groceries, helping with yard work). I do my best to keep everything consistent for your fur babies. I try to keep to your normal routine and use your terminology and commands. Everyone so far has been pretty consistent ("sit, stay, off, leave it, release, etc) so I haven't needed to change up my vocabulary much. If you have multiple pets please ask me about adjusting the rates for each additional pet over 3. I can usually make adjustments. I am retired, therefore, able to devote all of my time to the pets and home that I am caring for. I love to garden so pulling weeds makes me happy. Lately, I have been making terreriums so you could come home to a needless yard and a jar full of plants. If you have a junk drawer or closer you'd like organized, leave me a list. Much more fun to organize your junk drawer than mine! I do my best to keep anxiety to a minimum and fun to the max. I want your pets to associate your suitcase with a fun time with me vs missing you. No matter how much fun I give them, they will still be overjoyed when you return. As it should be!
About: I have mostly cared for small to medium size dogs who were experiencing some type of physical or chronic aliment. Walks and playtime are a big part of my service. I do not work and am home all day so caring for dogs fits very well in my daily routine. I can follow whatever schedule your dog requires. My priority is for your dog to be happy, healthy and safe. Whether in your home or mine. I will follow whatever schedule your dog requires. My number one priority is for your dog to be safe, happy and healthy. It's important to me that you have piece of mind when leaving your dog in my care.
“Jancy is absolutely lovely! Amazing human and dog lover. I broke my leg earlier this month and Jancy has been such a gem! So happy we were able to connect because she is so great with Enzo and he loves her. Such a pleasure working with her. Will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Gatos
Anke has consistently walked Odin twice a week for a year and a half. She is super attentive and always shares feedback both written and verbal about their walks. Our neighbors have commented as well (unsolicited) about what a great job she does with our baby. She’s super attentive and caring and can handle our dog well even though he’s reactive with other big dogs. Anke is a gem!
We had such a great experience with Serena! She was wonderful with our dog, reliable, caring, and very attentive. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dog was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
First time booking with Adrienne. Everything worked out great, she easily accommodated a last minute change to add on another day of walking Pepper. I also had ants appearing in my house near his food the day before the booking but Adrienne took care of this and made sure that the food bowl was always fresh and protected from the ants. She is reliable and easy to communicate with.
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!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Los Gatos is $33 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $56 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Los Gatos after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 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. 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Gatos. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
