“Kristin did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was gone. This was the first time I’ve had someone I didn’t know take of them, so I was initially nervous, but after reading and hearing about her experience, as well as meeting her in person during our meet and greet, I felt so much more at ease. She was easy to communicate with while I was away, and was so patient with my shy kitties. I also really appreciated the daily reports on how they were doing with pictures included. I would be happy to have Kristin watch my cats any time in the future when I’m out of town!”
“This was the first time we booked Elise. She did an excellent job. She came at a consistent time, she looked after the house well, and took good care of our cat. She worked with me on feeding amounts during her visits, since I was figuring out the appropriate amount of food. Overall, a fantastic experience.”
“Nasrin is great with our dogs! She’s an excellent communicator. She always takes pics of our dogs on each visit, which we really appreciate. We trust her with our dogs and they really like her!”
“Kate took care of my two cats while I was away for a few days, and I’ve never felt so at ease leaving them in someone else’s hands. It was clear from the first visit my cats fell in love with her (even my shy boy!!) and I was just excited to see how sweet they were being each visit. My cats were happy to see me when I got home, but I could tell they had plenty of love and attention while I was gone. Can’t recommend Kate enough, especially if you’re not only looking for someone to care for your pets but to become their best friend as well!”
“Nicole and Ryan were great with my dog Edie! I received updates and pics for every drop in and felt confident knowing my pup was in good hands while I was traveling. They had a conflict during one drop in time and needed to adjust the schedule and offered to come an extra visit later that day to make sure Edie was comfortable. During the meet and greet Nicole asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s preferences, personality, and schedule. I highly recommend and would gladly book with them in the future!”
“Rachel took excellent care of my senior kitty Bob. As a first time Rover user, I impressed that she came over to meet me and Bob prior to finalizing our booking. She answered all my questions thoroughly and took the time to connect directly with Bob so he would be somewhat familiar with her. I appreciate that Rachel proactively contacted me the day before our trip to review instructions. She was wonderful about providing regular communications and updates at every visit which was also reassuring to me while we were away. Thanks Rachel!”
“Carina is wonderful, I felt so comfortable having her watch my cat for a full week. She sent the cutest pictures and went above and beyond what I expected. I could tell from the photos that hattie was getting so much love, affection, and attention while I was away. I will definitely be booking again with Carina next time I’m out of town!”
“We had such a great experience with Courtney as our cat sitter! She was reliable and caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book her again! ❤️”
“Sydney is a kind and responsive sitter. She took care of my beloved kitty when I was out of town. I’d definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to check on my cat.”
About: I have Animal Shelter and Pet Store experience. I have had pets all of my adult life and sincerely believe that they are the best enrichment of human lives. I have medication experience and have been trained to be cautious of medical conditions. I can be trusted to act fast for worst case scenarios (knock on wood). I know how to take the best care of pets with the knowledge I’ve learned from my own experiences over the years. I work full time at a dealership but, with enough notice I can make sure to be available for your pets when needed. I am available every evening after 7pm Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sundays and Mondays I have 2 cats, a free roaming rabbit and geckos at home with my partner. I love taking care of their individual needs and giving them treats and toys to make them happy.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with Willow and Tingting! They took wonderful care of Popo and Yolk during their drop-in visits and were reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. We really appreciated the updates and could tell the cats were comfortable and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Olivia is absolutely wonderful! She loves animals and our pets warned up to her right away. She sends cute pictures and is really on top of things. We are very thankful to have her helping with our fur babies!!”
About: Hi, I'm Jamie! I've had up to 4 years of professional dog and catsitting experience and have established great relationships with a few recurring families. I've also grown up around dogs for my entire upbringing and am used to their behaviors, mannerisms, and how to handle them. I've had years of experience as a nanny as well, so I'm well equipped to care for both humans and animals, and how much attentiveness it requires. I have experience with different breeds as well as dogs with different temperaments. (Some with higher energy levels and some more timid and anxious.) I love dogs of all kinds and the playful energy they bring into my life. I consider myself to be a punctual, kind, and responsible individual. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to squeeze in the time necessary to care for animals. And since I love animals and the outdoor time, caring for them is an easy way to make sure I get to do both of those! I look out for behaviors that indicate when they might be feeling ill, or when they're needing to go outside to use the bathroom. I'll generally know when persistent barking or pawing indicates their hungry, or in need of potty or playtime. Given that I've grown up with dogs, I'm very used to scanning the environment for any potential crumbs or items they might find on the floor and am always checking to make sure doors are shut to prevent wandering.

Elise took amazing care of my cat, Aggie, who had two veterinary emergencies while I was away. Elise handled contacting me and the vet, took Aggie to the vet urgent care twice, administered medications day and night, and communicated in a calm and reassuring manner. I highly recommend Elise for your pet care needs—she is exactly who you want with your beloved pet when you cannot be there.
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!
Debbie was friendly, easy going, and most importantly, experienced. She was a professional through and through. As I am sure any pet owner can appreciate, it’s a little scary leaving our fur babies behind but when someone goes out of their way to assure you that they will show them love and care, you hope and trust that they will do just that. Debbie sent me videos and photos literally twice a day, and provided a little extra attention to details like making sure my senior dog was able to get up on his favorite couch to watch passersby when it became obvious he was struggling at one point. I would highly recommend Debbie.
Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby

We had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca! She was always punctual, extremely communicative, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free for us throughout the week. Our dog had a natural affinity for her and was genuinely excited every time she arrived — which spoke volumes about the care and connection she provided. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such trusted, loving hands. We absolutely plan to use her again in the future and have 100% trust in her services. Highly recommend!
Pam was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs and behaviors. My dog loves people but lacks confidence when it comes to other dogs. She offered some tips and worked with my girl to build her confidence during their walks. Pam took great care of my pup and we’ll definitely be working with her again!
Thank you so much Virginia for taking care of Becky during your Thanksgiving holiday. We really appreciate you giving your time and care so to our dog so we could spend time with our family. Thank you for all the photos and check ins letting us know our Becky was well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Los Gatos on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,012 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Gatos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Gatos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Gatos. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 pet, 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.
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.
