“Thanks so much to Laree and Keith! I couldn’t be happier that I found you this week. Forest loved you guys and was worn out every evening from his new friends. This made my week so much easier and Forest got a bath too! Wonderful experience!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Jerron took great care of our two dogs while we were visiting Mesa and was very quick in responding to my last minute request. I think my boys were couch potatoes the whole day, but that tells me they were comfortable there and were able to get some respite from our travels. We will book with Jarron again next time we need a sitter in Mesa!”
“What can I say except at Cynthia is incredible! Oliver gets so excited as soon as he sees that we are turning onto her street. I’m always at peace when he’s with her because I know that she’s giving him all of the love, snuggles and playtime that he wants and needs. I could ask for a better person to care for my little guy!”

About: I've had many dogs in my life. Almost my entire life. I've taken care of all kinds since I was a kid. My own, my family's & friend's pets as well. Your pets will be a good hands, treated like royalty, but not too spoiled... I'm recently retired. Any errands I need to run, I take care of before, or after, a sitting job. So when I'm sitting your furry family member, my time is their time. At my home, I have a decent sized, enclosed, backyard. And an extra large dog door, so they can come in & out as they wish. In your home, I would adhere to your wishes and routines for your loved one. Walks, treats, cuddling... Whatever your pup is used to, I can provide. And I am pet CPR certified
“The moment I walked into Alex's home for a meet & greet with Roger I felt welcome, at ease, and hopeful. As a recently adopted pup, I was unsure what to expect and she took the time to explain things and answer any questions I had. She has a wealth of knowledge that she willingly shared with me for how to become a better pet parent. When we got home that evening, Roger was the calmest he has been since being adopted a week ago. Thank you Alex!!!”

I'm also fully bilingual (English/Spanish), so I can communicate easily with all pet parents.

“Jenny felt right at home and couldn't wait to go back the second day! I'll definitely return to Paula the next time we need daycare! Communication and updates were great and very much appreciated!”
“Jennifer is amazing! She takes her time to make you feel comfortable and ensures your dog is happy. I highly recommend her service and will be returning customer.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Adult dogs can thrive with a feeding routine, fresh water, regular exercise, enough potty breaks, and good sleeping habits—and of course, quality time with their favorite human! I have a large fenced yard with lots of room to run, but can also easily crate your dog if needed. I provide consistent attention, respect your pet's boundaries, use preferred food and treats, and communicate openly with you about any concerns or special needs your pet may have.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
I seriously can’t recommend Kristi enough!! She has been so amazing with Gigi, and I’m so thankful we found her! I trust her completely and always know Gigi is in the BEST hands when she’s with her. You can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and that means so much to me. Gigi absolutely loves her :) I would recommend Kristi to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup. We’re going to miss her so much!!
Kari was great! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog in daycare for the first time, but Kari went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable and our dog was excited to go the next day. Kari really cares about the dogs she looks after and her kids are really sweet as well, they loved playing with our dog too. Thank you Kari!
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)
My husband and I booked Lorinda for day care for our Cairn terrier, Sophie. Sophie can suffer from separation anxiety, but she was very comfortable with Lorinda and really enjoyed her stay. Lorinda was very caring and knowledgeable. We would book with Lorinda again.
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.
I am so glad I found Giovanna and her family here in Rover app. The whole family are amazing and very sweet to my baby boy Kimchi from his dropped off ‘til pick up time. My boy was so happy & well taken cared off. They also sends you an updates from time to time of their good moments picts. This makes me comfortable knowing that my son Kimchi is safe & in good hands. Overall experience with them is superb and would love to book again! Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Gilbert is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $44 per day. 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 October 2026, there are 2,307 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gilbert. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,307 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of AZ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
