“I highly recommend Aly B. She quickly answered all of my questions, both before and during my dog’s stay, sent daily photos, and kept my high energy dog safe and happy. A few days after my dog’s stay, Sunshine saw Aly and was so excited to see her, confirming that Aly provided a welcoming environment for my dog during her stay. I will definitely use Aly again to care for my fur baby.”

“This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.”

Her and Alex have great set up for multiple dogs and they are very attentive to the different personalities and makes sure everyone is getting along. If not there is a spot for that dog too. I recommend her to everyone.”

“Mary Alice was the absolute best at caring for our Baby! She took very meticulous notes about our dog's routine and likes; she sent us frequent pictures and notes about her day, and kept a log of her activity for the days she was there. It was the first time our dog had ever been left anywhere without us, so i was anxious, but Mary Alice allayed all of that; and when we picked Koda up, it was obvious that she loved her 'vacation home'! We will definitely use her next time we travel to Gordonsville!”

“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”

“I almost gave up on Rover after my first experience, but I am so happy I tried again because I’m pretty sure I found my go-to guy! Drop off was a breeze, communication was there if I needed it, and best part was at pick up. My dog was happy and jumping around looking like he must have had a great time. Thank you so much Nathan!”

This last time Tyler took care of my dog, it was right after my dog had emergency surgery. Tyler gave him his medication and made sure he was not exercising or doing stairs. I cannot say enough good things about Tyler!”

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was 12! I started volunteering early with a local humane society and have been active in rescues ever since. I have also fostered dogs from two months-10 years old, including medical fosters, so I'm comfortable giving pets medicine if need be. I currently work at UVA in their communications office, where I have a lot of flexibility, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when I work remotely. I'm available most weekends and many holidays! I live in a shared house with a unfenced backyard and a couple of roommates, both of whom love dogs! There's a trail near me that I enjoy walking dogs on if they are OK with other people/dogs. Otherwise, I take dogs on walks once or twice daily.

Courtney keeps us informed daily with a photo and note of activity, and Courtney’s home & outdoor area are very clean and. Accommodating for Dolly’s playtime & nap activities. Once we arrive at Courtney’s home, Dolly begins to play and settles in quickly. We have changed/modified our vacation plans based on Courtney’s availability.”

About: Having had dogs and cats my entire life, I am well prepared to take care of your furry friend. Having had a dog with severe allergies, I am also prepared to take care of any pets with chronic health conditions that require more attention As a medical student in a hybrid learning environment, I have a flexible schedule that provides me the time to tend to your pets as needed. Caring for my own dog, your pet can fit seamlessly into our schedule for walks, bathroom breaks, and play time. I take all pets on several walks a day, providing them ample time to exercise and play outside. In caring for my clients home, I will make sure their pet abides by all house rules and maintain a clean living space for their home.

“Charity kept my senior pup Buster for two nights this past weekend. He's very dog selective, thus has to be kept by himself/away from other dogs most of the time. I was pleased to find out she took the time to assess his personality and closely supervise an introduction to one of her very laid back dogs and all went well. He came home happy and well adjusted. I've already given her name to a local friend, and will check her schedule for future boarding needs.”

Christine is great! Walter had a blast playing with her dogs and seeing the farm animals through the fence. He came home exhausted and slept like a baby. I definitely recommend Christine and will be booking again in the future.

We were extremely nervous that our baby girl was going to be upset we left her in an unfamiliar place but I’m glad to say we were wrong. Kirstin sent so many pictures and updates of our girl and she looked happy, loved and “at home” with Kirstin at her place. We’re already planning to book again and would recommend her to anyone.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gilbert

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gilbert is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $62 and $68 per night. 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 207 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gilbert. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

98% of sitters in Gilbert can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gilbert home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gilbert.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

You and your Gilbert sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.

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 VA 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
