“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!”
About: We have taken care of all sorts of animals for many years. The more the merrier. We currently have two dogs, 3 goats (in pen) and 16 chickens (in coop) and would love to have your dog(s) join our family. Hi, Im Kari in live on a mini farm in Gilbert with my 4 kids (13-22), 2 of whom still live at home full time and 2 who bounce from home to college. I spend most of my time at home with my kids and animals....2 dogs of our own, 3 goats (in pen), and 15 chickens (in coop). I have about an acre with a fenced yard and, with in that, multiple fenced areas. We are happy welcome your dog(s) to our mini farm.
“This was an amazing first experience! Loved having Jessie, and I really appreciated the pictures/videos that she sent me throughout the day. Would definitely send my boys to her again!!!”
“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!”
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.
“We were so fortunate to have Courtney watch our Maggie this past Thursday and Friday. She was so good with our little girl since this was the first time she stayed with anyone other than my daughter. She was scared at first and Courtney sent the cutest picture of her in her lap as her co-worker. We are very pleased in how well she loved our little girl as much as we do. I would highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Courtney. Five plus stars for sure. 😊😋”
“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.”
“Nicole & Rose V. was absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, reliable, and made sure my pup was well cared for the entire time. My dog came home happy and relaxed. I could tell he received lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Stephanie was amazing! Very attentive to our two dogs and was great at keeping us up to date on how they were doing! Our pups always seemed happy in the photos and we will definitely ask her to watch them again! We were running later than we’d expected for their pick up and she was very gracious and patient with us, which we appreciated. Highly recommend her!!”
“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: I grew up on the east coast with an abundance of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, rats, mice, frogs, toads, fish, crabs, and snails! I was often the first call amongst my friends when they needed someone to watch their pet while they were away, and grew very fond of caretaking. I have two dogs myself, and two cats. The dogs have a fully fenced cinder block grass yard, with a high latch metal gate, and grass with a large tree for shade. We also have a splash pad and a doggie pool to keep them cool in the heat! I am a stay at home mom. My son is 3 years old, and great with pets since he has been around them since birth. Our schedule allows me to be at home full time for unlimited potty breaks, morning/sunset walks, and constant attention/play time. Your dog must be tolerant with other dogs, cats, and kids! My fully fenced grassy yard offers dogs with high energy needs a place to run, chew, and play! My dog, Zinnie, is a social butterfly at the dog park and loves making new friends. She will also want to cuddle any new dog that comes over! My other dog, Buddha, is an old lady - usually preferring to lounge under the shaded tree and watch birds. She will occasionally play with other dogs, but is fine being a wall flower. We have a pet gate and multiple rooms for feeding if your dog is an anxious eater! Since I am always home, I can maintain whatever feeding times your animal baby is used to. A main water source is provided for the dogs outside to prevent over heating, and the dogs will always have the autonomy to come inside whenever they choose, as we usually leave the connecting door open for them. Couch and bed cuddlers are welcome here! I will treat your animals with respect, giving them the independence to play while their parents are away, coupled with the structure of care to make pet parents feel as comfy as possible. Pic and video updates are provided as well. If you want a daily run down of what your pet did during their stay, I will provide that as well. I am also versed in the fine arts of hiding medication in treats if your animal needs to take their meds. Syringed medicine is no issue as well.
“Gina was able to watch Harry at the last-minute for plans we had that went pretty late into the evening. Harry always has the best time there and I trust her completely with him! He was whining and didn’t want to leave even after seven hours of playing. Thanks again Gina!”
“We used Lauren’s services for day care and she was amazing! Our dogs were very well taken care of and she even took them for a walk. The pups are very happy and so are we! Would definitely recommend Lauren!”
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 :)
“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!”

Jesse was wonderful about jumping in to help us when we needed someone to help out so we could work! He was so accommodating and patient when stopped by for an introduction. He kept us updated throughout the day and even took our pool fanatic boy out to swim! Would totally recommend Jesse for anyone looking. Can’t thank him enough for helping us!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
