“Bhumi seems like a very nice woman, and I believe she takes care of Coco nicely and patiently. If she can send a text or a picture of Coco to show me how she is doing, that would help me feel more relaxed, especially at the beginning of the few times.”
“We had a dinner party and needed a pet sitter for Cache fo just a few hours in the evening. Steve was accommodating of our schedule and welcomed Cache into his and Mya's home. Steve was confident, friendly, and engaging with Cache. Cache enjoyed long walks and playtime with Steve and Mya. Cache returned home exercised and ready to rest after his active play date. We will definitely call on Steve again for doggy day care!”

About: I’ve had a dog for 10 years and spent time volunteering in dog shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for your dog. I provide constant care which means during boarding or doggy daycare I won't leave dog alone for more than 2-3 hours. My schedule allows me to walk with dog several times during the day and let the dog out for potty breaks in the backyard between walks. I follow your pet routine and any special instructions from owners. I'll always send updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well.
“Denisa and her family were the most wonderful, and took amazing care of my puppy. She sent photos, updates, took him on walks, and gave him so much love. If you are looking for kind and honest folks to look after your pup with great care, you’ll find that with Denisa. Thank you ! Meelo had the best time, will return ?”
About: I grew up with many dogs and various animals. I love dogs! I often care for my friends and families dogs when they are away. You can relax knowing that your dog will get lots of attention, cuddles, and walks when they are in my care. I am a teacher off for the summer so I have lots of free time. I go back to work mid-August. Once the school year starts up I am still available for dog/pet sitting too. I strive to create a routine that is similar to yours. I want your dog to feel safe and calm while in my care. I will follow your feeding schedule as well as and other details necessary.
“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request too.”
“Grace is so amazing with our Kubo. He’s always happy to visit every week and Grace takes him on long walks to tire him out. Kubo also enjoys his overnight stays and Grace always keeps us updated with photos and messages. We would recommend Grace to any dog family!”
“So delighted to find Madhumita. Her quiet affectionate calm and patience letting my dog, who has a trauma history, come our of his shell was just what he needed to feel comfortable. Her elderly lab is also a friendly, calm, and reassuring presence. So happy to see my pup relax and make himself at home-- in her home!”
About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life — with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC, I understand what it takes to keep them happy, healthy, and loved. I treat every dog that comes into our home like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. We recently lost our senior pup to old age, and after 15 years with him, our home feels quiet without him. We are not ready to add a new dog to our family yet, so hoping pet sitting will fill our hearts with the paws that feel missing. I work from home 3-4 days a week & have a very energetic toddler who will keep your pup entertained! I am always outside and go on daily walks with or without a dog! My home is a clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and fenced outdoor access, ensuring your pup can explore safely. I keep hazardous items like food and cleaning products out of reach. Dogs have access to cozy resting spots, fresh water at all times, and plenty of space to play, relax, or cuddle.
“Natasha has cared of Loki, our senior Swedish Vallhund, several times. Both doggy day care and several nights of boarding. She has taken care to acclimatize him to her other guests and often sent pictures of him lounging on the sofa with some doggy pals. I’m comfortable in returning to her again as my first choice in caring for our dog.”

“Auzi had a great day with Chester and Lana. He got several walks and time at the park. He came home ready to nap and that can be hard to do. We will also be booking some boarding time with Lana. I know Auzi will be in great hands.”
“Nadia was reliable and I felt very safe leaving my puppy in her hands. She picked him up every morning at 9am, brought him to her home and returned him at 5pm. He had fun and got to play with other dogs and Nadia gave me peace of mind sending pictures and updates throughout the day. Thank you Nadia for an excellent job!!”
“Trishalee was amazing. She saved me in a last minute pinch when I needed someone to watch my senior, deaf, and blind baby. She sent photos and was super kind and flexible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Los Gatos on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Los Gatos commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,544 sitters in Los Gatos, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
