“Natasha has a very careful process for meeting/greeting new dogs before caring for them. We spent a good 90+ minutes in the fenced front yard as Natasha let our rescue dog Tami sniff around and get comfortable with all the new sights and smells: a profusion of plants, turtles, a pond, and more. Only then did she introduce other dogs one by one, starting with her own little cutie Puggy. Natasha observed all the interactions, so that there would be no surprises later. After we left, she sent us a stream of updates wirh photos, so we felt really comfortable that our furball was happy and safe there. When I came a few hours later to pick our dog up, I found her roaming about happily with her new little friends. It was clear that she had had a good time. We will definitely be back, Natasha.”
“Lola is a very shy girl and has a lot of separation anxiety but Trishalee was so sensitive and made sure that Lola had some play time, quiet time and affection to make her feel comfortable. I will be booking again.”
“Grace has been a godsend for my puppy. She helped set a routine, kept me updated on his activities every single day. He actually ate more food at her place than he does at mine. She took him on good long walks and made his super comfortable. I was at peace on my trip knowing the daily happenings and seeing pictures of him. She truly treated him like her own pet.”
“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.”
“My 12-year-old dog was in great hands! Amy was patient, caring, and kept me updated while I was at work, which gave me peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves dogs and cares for their well being, I highly recommend Amy!”
“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!”

“Samie loved staying with Krystal! Krystal was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. Samie usually takes a while to warm up to people, but by the second day, she was wagging her tail and barking as we pulled up! We will be working with Krystal again soon. :)”
“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!”

I booked Norelvis for the first time for 8 hours of daycare and was very happy my two Cavapoos seemed well taken care of. Her home and yard appear tidy and very dog-friendly. She sent a couple of photos during their stay. It was a comfort to know they were doing fine especially because one of my dogs can be a little nervous in new environments. I would definitely use her again and can recommend her with confidence.
Amy is fantastic! She is loving and attentive and Nova felt right at home and made fast friends with sweet Coco and the crew! Nova looks forward to her days exploring and lazing in the sun with her new pack. I would highly recommend Amy. She’s great at communication and is experienced with caring for dogs of all sizes 🐾

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 2,581 sitters in Los Gatos, 88% 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.
