“Laree and Keith were amazing sitters. We initially booked our dogs stay with another sitter. Unfortunately, that didn’t go through so we booked a last minute day care with Laree and Keith. We are so glad and very thankful that they were available and able to accommodate our requests. Our dogs had a great time and we highly recommend this sitter. Thank you again for the last minute booking!”
“Rojo and Angela were phenomenal hosts for our high energy 9 month old Golden Retriever's first daycare experience! Communication was excellent and the attention to detail was superb. We will definitely repeat!”

“Christopher and Laura have a wonderful situation that is perfect for my Buddy. Lovely house and grassy back yard, Preacher the dog ambassador, and a very caring family that treat their guest dogs as their own. Buddy was so happy with the visit and can't wait to get back again!”
“Courtney took my dog 🐕 in as a first time visitor on short notice. My normally shy dog seemed to trust and warm up to her and her dogs very quickly. I got great updates throughout the day and Lucy returned to me happy in the evening. I would definitely leave Lucy here again.”
“Nicole watched Pepperjac as a puppy for some time and then we needed a sitter again a specific week months later. Pepperjac recognized the neighborhood and got so excited to be back with Nicole. We know she is taken care of, happy and safe during her stay. Great communication and updates as well. We appreciate you Nicole.”
About: Hi, I’m Jesse! I live in The Islands community in Gilbert, and I recently said goodbye to my sweet 12-year-old bulldog. I truly miss having a dog around, and I’d love to share my home and care with yours. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I work from home, which means I can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I will also appreciate the company of having your dog hang out with me. My home has a spacious backyard on the lake with real grass, perfect for playtime and potty breaks. More importantly, I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own.
“Stephanie was a new experience with several dogs in the home. Cuddy was a little shy but warmed up to them and Stephenie's family. Cuddy was happy to see her each morning - learning a new routine. We will definitely return when in Arizona and in need of a Rover.”

About: I have rescued both cats and dogs and have experience with the puppy stage and also senior care. My sweet Penny was a senior rescue who had dental and physical issues but became so happy and healthy and went on to live a long and happy life. I have two young boys, age 3 and 4 who are very well educated and experienced with both cats and dogs of all types. I am a stay at home mom and both kids attend school from 9am -3pm so I am fully open during those hours but am also available for full time care. I have a 2 story condo with a small fenced back patio and tons of grass walking area for dogs in our dog friendly community. I only have one cat, Chester who keeps to himself but is very friendly. All animals are welcome on our furniture and in our beds unless your fur baby prefers a certain set up!
“Kelli is amazing! She's very responsive and accommodated a last-minute need. My boys came home exhausted, they fell asleep in the car when I picked them up to take them home which is about a mile away. They ate supper and slept for the rest of the day and most of the following. With that kind of exhaustion, you know they had a great time and lived their best life! I highly recommend Kelli and will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you for watching tallulah and for helping with the crazy morning I was having when she locked herself in the car with the keys. I will definitely have her come when I have some out of town work and need a sitter.”
About: Hi! I look forward to caring for your pups! I have had dogs since I was a kid. As a teenager I volunteered at the Humane Society and learned humane training techniques and how to safely interpret dog behaviors. I mostly work from home (in the office on Thursdays only), so your dog will have company while you are away. I will provide walks, play, snuggles, and can also provide grooming and administer medicine. A final note! Puppies bring an extra special joy with them don't they? Puppies are a welcome blessing in our house! The cuteness is worth the messes :) please don't hesitate to reach out if you are in need of a puppy sitter! I have a fenced (cinderblock wall) yard (5.5 feet high), and work from home, so he/she can go outside to go potty any time. I have a pen and baby gates to use inside for puppies who are potty training. I work from home and provide lots of company and exercise for our guest dogs and they always seem happy and secure. I will walk your dog(s) in the mornings & evenings at no extra cost to you! They will get lots of love and exercise during their stay :)
“I'm new to the area and was looking for someone to watch Koda. Gina is awesome! The pictures are adorable and Koda passed out hard on the way home. She can't wait for her next visit. 🐶”
“I cant express how grateful I am for finding Krysten and her amazing family, my babies found new friends who showed them love and friendship. Thank you for doing such an amazing job and cant wait for their next visit with you.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was born, so I’m incredibly comfortable and experienced with dogs of all ages. Whether it’s puppies needing training or senior dogs requiring extra care, I’m well-versed in providing the attention, exercise, and love they need. I’m reliable, patient, and truly understand the bond between humans and dogs. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, I’m the one! Since I’m currently working part-time and taking a gap year, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This means I can offer consistent, attentive care for your pet—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they deserve! I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet I care for. I have a fully fenced backyard where your pet can play and explore safely. Plus, there's a park just around the corner with plenty of open fields and grass, perfect for fetch or runs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Charlie B 🐾 Hi, it’s me, Charlie. I don’t usually write reviews because I’m very busy being adorable and monitoring squirrels, but this felt important. First of all, my mom abandoned me (rude) to go to “work” (whatever that is), but THEN… plot twist… I met Capone. Capone = 12/10 good boy. We played. We zoomed. We possibly solved several world problems. He let me be the boss sometimes (as he should), and I allowed him the honor of chasing me around like a maniac. It was a very balanced, professional friendship. At one point, I almost forgot I had been tragically left behind. Almost. To my mom: I will forgive you… eventually. To Capone: I love you, you chaotic legend. Please schedule more playdates immediately. Overall experience: Would get “abandoned” again if Capone is involved. – Charlie 🐶 (professional good girl, part-time drama queen)
Geneva is great with my puppy. Every time we get to their house Lady can’t wait to go in and play with her dog Apollo. She’s great at communicating with me sending lots of pictures to me throughout the day. Lady always comes back very happy and a little tired from all the fun she’s having.
Anjali was fantastic and took great care of Loki - Thanks Anjali. From the time I contacted her, she was really good in her responses so that I could plan accordingly. Through the day she kept me posted on how Loki was doing and did everything possible to keep him engaged and cater to his needs. I strongly recommend Anjali for your rover needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gilbert on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Gilbert 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 AZ 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 2,319 sitters in Gilbert, 89% 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.
