About: I've always loved dogs and when I had them as a kid I never truly appreciated them. Now as an adult I make sure to give my dog as much love and care as I possibly can without spoiling him too much. I've liked just about every dog I've ever interacted with and really all I want to do is meet as many dogs as I can. Im available anytime on Fridays Saturdays Sundays and Mondays. I'm taking some classes right now on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays so any of those days would be a little harder to schedule I know how much dogs love to play and I have no problem being active and running around and playing with any dog. My dog can get a little rough sometimes so I know how to manage dogs when they get a little out of control while making sure they are safe.

“Brooke is amazing! If I didn't know any better Id say Brooke had adopted my dog as her own! I'm happy to know that when Brooke is around my dog Kira is safe, happy and has all the love in the world that she deserves. Brooke is always eager to schedule visits and care for my pet, she has even involved her whole family to help! Im so lucky I found her and she is now part of our family. ❤️. Brooke would be a blessing to have as your Rover!!!”

About: We have had dogs in the house for as long as I can remember. We have had dogs of all sizes, as small as terriors and as big as Great Danes. I’ve walked and taken care of my dogs since I was at least 10 years old. I have no problem giving medication and giving baths when needed. I’m excited to give any dog all the attention and love it needs when their owner is a little busy or out of town. We all know it gets a little hot in Arizona, I always make sure to have an extra water bottle just in case if the dog needs it. I am currently a stay at home mom of a 1 year old who is still learning boundaries. I can give all the love and attention your pup needs I have a fenced yard and my Aussie mix is a very friendly dog and very energetic despite being 8 yrs old. I do have a little one that would be with me for drop ins.

About: I've been taking care of pets my entire life. I've taken care of anything from Guinea pigs to birds to rabbits to pregnant cats to senior cats and adult dogs. I've given medications. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I have all day to play with your Fur babies and I love going for a walk, so taking a dog with me is a bonus. I only have cats in my home. Currently, I have 2 adult cats of my own and a foster kitten. They are, in or only though they do like to send themselves on the balcony.

About: I’ve cared for pets throughout my childhood and was a dedicated dog parent from 2018–2023. During that time I developed a deep appreciation for each animal’s unique personality, needs, and communication style. I also trained my dog to use communication buttons, which strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to read animal behavior. This experience taught me how to work gently with pets and respond to their cues in a thoughtful way. I provide calm, attentive care and am especially mindful of pets who may feel anxious or sensitive when their owners are away. My goal is always to create a safe, peaceful environment where pets feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the extra patience and attentiveness they may need. My goal is for every pet to return home calm, relaxed, and well loved. I provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy their stay right along with them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, walks, and companionship. I am dependable, organized, and make sure each visit includes the care, affection, and monitoring pets need to feel safe and happy. I live in a clean and quiet home in a community with a calm environment that is well suited for pets. I prioritize safety by following each owner’s care instructions closely, keeping pets supervised, and maintaining a peaceful space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care so they feel secure while their owner is away.

“Eliza is simply purr-fect! We entrusted our beloved furball Sunny into her care while we jetted off for a much-needed vacation, and we couldn't have made a better choice. From the moment we met her, it was clear that Eliza had a genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Eliza provided exceptional care for Sunny, going above and beyond to ensure his comfort and happiness. She followed all of our instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and even sent us regular updates and adorable photos of Sunny looking as content as ever. What truly sets Eliza apart is her attentiveness and dedication. She didn't just fulfill her responsibilities; she formed a genuine bond with Sunny, making sure he felt loved and cared for in our absence. It's rare to find someone as reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about pet care as Eliza. We are immensely grateful for her exceptional service and wouldn't hesitate to entrust Sunny to her care again in the future. Thank you, Eliza, for treating Sunny like one of your own. You've earned our highest recommendation! 🐾✨”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities! I’m also a proud dog mom to my 10-year-old Yorkie, Bo, who is my little adventure buddy. We love spending time outdoors, exploring new trails, and going on long walks together! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just curling up for some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog as if they were my own. You can also count on plenty of photo updates while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and am available any day of the week to care for your furry friends! Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, some playtime, or a fun trip to the park, I’m happy to help. I love spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I’m available throughout the week and can easily accommodate different schedules and routines to make sure your pup is happy and well cared for! Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. During walks, I always use a secure leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations. When caring for pets in their homes, I respect their established routines, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and follow all instructions provided by their owners. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously! You can always expect open communication and plenty of photo updates.

About: I've grown up with dogs throughout childhood and have one of my own now! I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes, and breeds. Cats are a newer addition to my animal-loving self and I would love the opportunity to grow even closer by taking care of them! I work full time in office 5am-3:30pm Monday-Thursday, 5am-1:30pm on Fridays. Free on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for drop in services, walking, overnight stays, and house sitting. I have a dog of my own that is territorial of her space so we don't let other pets stay over for that reason. You can rely on me to give your pet the care they need. Each pet is unique to what they need in order for them to feel comfortable. I'm here to be a caregiver, cuddle bug, provider, or simply a safety net for those who don't want a lot of attention but know I'm there for any possible scenario.

About: Hi! I’m a patient, attentive, and gentle dog lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for caring for pets of all ages — especially senior dogs or pups that need extra attention. I have experience giving medications, monitoring anxiety and health changes, assisting older dogs with mobility, and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always pay close attention to what helps them feel safe and happy. My childhood dog, Ella, lived to almost 17 years old and taught me so much about compassion, patience, and attentive care. Caring for her inspired the way I care for every pet today. I’m also very detail-oriented and appreciate knowing your dog’s routines, favorite treats, medications, allergies, anxieties, and personality so I can give them the best care possible. I send updates, photos, and lots of love while your pet is with me! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my priority. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment where every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and individualized care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to learn what helps them feel happiest and most secure. I’m experienced with senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that may require extra attention, medication, or mobility support. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided to ensure consistency and comfort while your pet is in my care. I also value open communication and appreciate detailed information about your pet’s personality, preferences, allergies, medications, favorite activities, and anything that may cause stress or anxiety so I can provide the best care possible.

Julissa is the epitome of what I was looking for in someone to care for my dog while Im not home. She is kind, super professional, responsive and on time. She took perfect control of my dog right from the start, asking all the right questions, and took her on a walk during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend her enough, if I could, Id give 10 stars!!

Avery did an amazing job caring for our English Bulldog, Leia! She communicated with us consistently during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed Leia’s eye medication schedule carefully, changed her drinking water as requested, and, most importantly, spent quality time with Leia during every visit. It was clear that Avery genuinely cared about making sure Leia was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter. You won’t be disappointed!

I have a super chill elderly cat named Layla and a doggy named Penny (Princess Penelope Lane) who is scared of her own shadow, and anyone who's not her family is automatically labeled as "stranger danger." I've never seen Penny take food or pets from someone other than us, but Jessica is a true animal whisperer who's more than able. There's nothing better than receiving consistent pictures and updates while outside of the country and knowing my furry little girls and house are safe in Jessica's capable hands. We plan on looking for a new puppy to bring into the family soon, and I look forward to asking for Jessica's help in caring for them in the future. Thank you so much Jessica 😆

Susan was excellent! When she came to meet Strider she brought a clip board and took plenty of notes. After her visit we returned home to find a very happy Strider and Susan even left a note for us in paper saying how good he was and how much she appreciated our business.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Gilbert

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gilbert is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,464 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gilbert. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gilbert. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
