About: I have two small dogs (maltipoo’s) of my own and have cared for my relatives/family friends furbabies often. I’m most experienced with smaller dogs however I’m willing to learn to care for any type of pet/species. I’m currently home full time and so my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I understand everyone has different concerns so I’m more than happy to accommodate as best I can. I live in a townhome so there’s a small backyard area. The area is safe with lots of families and dog owners in the neighborhood. I’m open to long walks, short walks, sniffari’s, drop ins, etc. Inside of my home, the garbage is enclosed within a pull out trash bin so dogs aren’t likely to get through. Cleaning and vacuuming happens regularly so there are minimal hairballs or choking hazards. The doggie gate is located along the stairs in case we need to keep them in a dedicated area but usually it’s left open for the doggies to roam free (as they are potty trained). Feeding is done in different areas so no resource guarding takes place. We have a large crate that the dogs treat at their personal home, they go in and out as they please. I like to keep their potty breaks on a schedule as well as feeding time and the air purifier runs constant.
“Highly recommend Holly. Holly made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She was incredibly professional, respectful, and communicated clearly from start to finish. Holly took great care of my pup, followed all instructions perfectly, and kept me well-updated. I felt completely confident leaving my pet in her hands and will absolutely book with her again!”
About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends. I’ve cared for pets in my home for extended stays of up to a month at a time, so I’m comfortable being responsible for their daily routine and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while away from their owners. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, basic cleanup, and lots of attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and take their routines and individual needs seriously. I have a flexible weekday schedule and can step away from work for a few hours when needed, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime drop-in visits and walks. I’m also available before and after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime routine. I take pet safety and routines seriously. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep your pet comfortable, and send updates so you know how they’re doing.
“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”
“Another terrific set of services from Denise while we were on vacation. All went well and smoothly. Denise sent us pics, which our other pet-sitter did not, and we enjoyed (and felt comforted) seeing that all was well while we were away. Thanks for your help, Denise!”
About: - Administering medication (oral, topical; clear instructions followed precisely) - Senior pet care (mobility support, routine monitoring, patience) - High-energy pets (structured walks, play, consistency) - Shy or anxious pets (slow approach, trust-building, no pressure) - Puppies and pets under 1 year (routine reinforcement, supervision) - Clean, respectful home care (leave the space as I found it) I’ve completed multiple house sits and can provide verified reviews from other major sitting platforms upon request. With 10+ years of experience, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets that need extra attention and consistency. 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. Your pets will be treated like family - with gentle handling, constant attention, and full reliability every step of the way.
“Etta was great with my two cats. She had them both eating out of her hand. She was dependable, kept everything tidy and even took my trash cans out and brought them back in. What I appreciated most were the pictures and updates she gave me every day. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.
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.
“Valentina did a great job checking in and taking care of our two cats! She was a good communicator, punctual, and did well with following the outlined instructions. Would book again!”
About: I have taken care of personal pets, both dogs and cats, since I was a kid. I love all animals! I have also trained puppies on basic obedience and a few tricks. I have a flexible work schedule with plenty of time available during the day. I can easily adjust to your scheduling preferences, with some availability on weekends as well. As a dog walker, I am there to provide guidance and exercise. As a sitter, I am there to provide comfort and consistency. I bring both warmth and boundaries so the pets feel secure.
“Teresa checks all the boxes for being a reliable cat sitter. She was great with our cats and let them go at their own pace to warm up to her. It was a comfort to know that our furbabies were in good hands. We will for sure book Teresa for future sitting.”
“Donna was a blessing to our dog and our family. She is an excellent communicator and took wonderful care of our dog for one day. We had peace of mind knowing our prescious dog was in such caring hands while we were away.”
“As always Sarah was amazing and communicative with us and took wonderful care of our cats! She understands them so well, we're always comfortable knowing she's the one taking care of them while we're away. Thank you Sarah!”

We’ve had Dana take care of our cat multiple times, and she has always been great! She communicates regularly, and I appreciate that she checks in about our preferences. We can tell that our cat feels relaxed around Dana as well, which is always a great comfort. Thanks, Dana!
Our cat loves Teresa at the first sight! 😄 Teresa took great care of him and gave him lots of attention and pampering. Teresa also sent generous photos with food and litter box updates to let us know our cat has been doing well, and she took great photos - our cat looked like a star! 🥰
Yun-an (Elva) is really the best sitter we know and is our savior! We had originally planned to have her drop by only a few times when we were away but the night before our trip (literally while I was packing), one of our cats had an emergency. The doctor subscribed him medication to be taken twice a day. I was ready to cancel the trip if I couldn’t find someone to take care of him. Luckily, not only did Elva agree last minute to come two times a day, but she really went above and beyond the expectations during her visits. She is extremely detailed oriented and kept me updated about everything. Our cat is really but Elva did a great job of making him feel comfortable and making sure that he ate before giving him the medicine. Her rover cards had dozens of photos and long descriptions of what each of my fur babies did during her visits. She is such a patient and loving care taker, and I can tell both of my cats trust her. Having Elva come by made me feel at ease during my trip, because I know there is someone who would take very good care of my cats. I feel so, so lucky to have found her. Highly highly recommended!
Highly recommend Holly. Holly made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She was incredibly professional, respectful, and communicated clearly from start to finish. Holly took great care of my pup, followed all instructions perfectly, and kept me well-updated. I felt completely confident leaving my pet in her hands and will absolutely book with her again!
Olivia was wonderful! My cats liked her immediately and she was very sweet with them. I appreciated the photos and videos of playtime while I was gone and the updates that they had taken their medication with no problem. She was very prompt with every time frame she gave me. Would definitely book again!
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!

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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Gatos is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $47 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
