About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of pet care experience — and a friendly Golden Retriever sidekick who loves making new doggy friends! I work from home 2 days a week, which means extra time for cuddles, playtime, and walks. I’m experienced with pups who need a little extra care, including those with medical needs like diabetes. Whether your dog needs a walking buddy or a cozy place to stay, I’ve got the love, time, and treats to make their tail wag! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work from home two days a week, which gives me plenty of time for walks, play breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. On other days, I plan my schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I make sure every pup feels loved and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, pups enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of supervised time both inside and out. I can easily crate if needed and always follow your pet’s specific routines and preferences. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages and stages — from curious puppies to wise seniors — and I make sure each one feels secure, loved, and right at home in a calm, structured environment.
“Aleana is punctual, communicative and my cats new best friend! I will be setting up many more visits with her. Any worries I had about leaving my cat alone are completely gone and I can actually enjoy my time away knowing Bruce is in great hands. :)”
“Courtney has been consistently caring for our greyhound for over 2 months, and she's incredible! She's always communicative, respectful, quick with responding to messages and booking requests, follows directions to a "T", and accommodates our needs. Most importantly, our pup loves her! Our normally anxious boy always seems so relaxed and happy after her visits. I can't recommend Courtney enough!”
“Shea did a great job with my two boys while we were in Europe! She came at exactly the time she said she would every day and I loved getting a report every day-with photos-and a short note. This is the first time I’ve used Rover and she was so good about stopping by beforehand for instructions and meet and greet. My older dog needs 3 different meds and, although perhaps a challenge at first, she managed to get them down him just fine. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsei shares the right amount of information during her visits making sure you feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands and well taken care of. Our pup fell in love with Kelsei at the end of his week with her and we’ll love to have her back!”
“Kayla is always THE BEST. We would not be able to travel to see family without her and our Emma absolutely adores her. She is one of her favorite people now 🤗 (and one of ours too!)”
“Susan was amazing for drop-in visits for my cat, Delilah, during the holidays! She was very kind and knowledgeable (she even gave me a list of vets she recommends within the area since I had just moved out here and had not set one up yet). During the meet and greet she took meticulous notes about Delilah’s likes/dislikes as well as her daily schedule. While I was away she always arrived on time to visit with Delilah and sent me notes/pictures of my cats status. I felt like my cat was very safe with her while I was away. I highly recommend Susan and will for sure be booking her for any future pet drop-in visits!”
“Kylel was the perfect sitter for our cat while we were away. He followed all of our instructions perfectly, was very professional and kind taking care for Fern :). Would definitely recommend!”
About: As a kid I would walk to my neighbors house and ask to play with their dogs. Not their kids, just their dogs. From there I started pet sitting for friends and family and have been doing it ever since. As an adult I have always had dogs. They truly are the best. One thing that I struggle with is whether or not they are well taken care of when I go out of town. Finding people to care for your pets as you would can be stressful. I want you to have total peace of mind when your pets are in my care because I have been in your shoes. I will love are care for your pets as if they were my own. I am a Full-time asthetician working about 30 hours per week. I love to care for pets in my free time. I especially love giving people some peace of mind knowing their fur babies are cared for when they're away for an extended amount of time. I will follow your instructions to a “T” whether that’s crating your pet, keeping on schedule with walks and potty breaks, or administering medications. I will keep your pup(s) entertained and properly snuggled.
“Donna is amazing! My shy cat who has NEVER come out for anyone in the 2 years I’ve had him, came out for her by visit #2! She also sent very detailed notes and took lots of pictures. We are so impressed and will 100% use Donna again.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, sharing my home with a dachshund and a pre-senior English Bulldog, so I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with very different energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I’ll make sure they receive patient, compassionate, and attentive care. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by providing a safe, fun, and loving experience while you’re away, with regular photo and text updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing. As a full-time home inspector, my schedule varies from day to day, which actually gives me the flexibility to accommodate many different pet care needs. I’m often available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits depending on my inspection schedule. If I accept your booking, you can count on me to be punctual, dependable, and committed to giving your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both your needs and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a professional home inspector, I’m trusted to enter clients’ homes every day, and I bring that same level of professionalism, respect, and attention to detail to every pet care visit. I carefully follow feeding, medication, walking, and exercise instructions while making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m also a dog owner with both a dachshund and a pre-senior English Bulldog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I’ll treat your home with respect, provide regular photo and text updates, and care for your pets as if they were my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
Simon was great with my pup, Jack. He came by for a meet and greet, and I immediately trusted him. I knew Jack was in good hands, and Simon reassured me of this on each of his visits. I returned home to find an happy dog and everything else as I left it. I highly recommend Simon; I will be using him again.
Lindsey was a God send. She provided great service and great communication. It made our trip enjoyable and at ease knowing our precious pets are receiving great care. She did more for us than just care for our pets. Lindsey is reliable. We greatly appreciate and highly recommend her!
Kiersten allowed us to fully enjoy our time away from home! She took such good care of my cats and dog, and went the extra mile to make sure that the home was taken care of while we were not here. We feel very lucky to have had her watch our kids, and can’t wait to have them babysit again!
We couldn’t ask for better dog sitters! One of our dogs is very anxious to loud noises, but Allison & Josh are incredibly experienced. They kept us updated throughout the holiday weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and loved the entire time. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
We had a wonderful experience with Jessica! She did an amazing job communicating with us throughout our trip, sending frequent updates and the sweetest pictures of our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly attentive and let us know right away when one of our dogs got a minor injury while playing, keeping us updated and handling the situation with care. Jessica was always quick to respond to our messages and truly made us feel at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gilbert 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gilbert choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gilbert with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
