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.
“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”
About: Feel free to call me Elva! I’ve been around cats and dogs for about 5 years and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have two cats of my own, so I know every pet has their own little personality and routine. I’m happy to feed them, play with them, go on walks, clean up after them, or just keep them company while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention and feels comfortable with me! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I usually have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I’m available throughout the week and can work around your fur baby’s usual routine. I’ll make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out with them. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how they’re doing!
“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: With years of experience in pet care, I have fostered hundreds of dogs, providing them with love, care, and a safe environment. My background in fostering has given me unique insights into various dog behaviors and needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to animal welfare and my ability to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for every pet I care for. Your pets will be in loving, experienced hands with me! Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention they need. I plan my schedule to make sure they receive consistent care, whether that's sticking to their routine, providing companionship, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and any instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, monitor their well-being, and provide updates with photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Pam was excellent and was soo calm with my shepherd that had a lot of anxiety! She was soo knowledgeable about how to handle everything while the dog was having a panic attack and she was so loving and compassionate with both dogs. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Maria was wonderful! She was so great with my young dog and patient as she improved her leash training. She was so communicative about my pet and their daily walks. Thank you so much Maria!”
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.
“Yu-Wen was a great dog sitter for our Boston terrier, Henry. He provided timely updates and lots of photos for us. It was clear that he was attentive to Henry. I would recommend him as a dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Scott has been taking our dog on regular walks since October. He is always reliable, easy to communicate with, and sends lots of pics/info from the walks. I recommend him very highly. Look no further!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Los Gatos is $25
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!
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 $28.31 per walk (as of September 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 .

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. 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
