“We rarely leave Ollie with anyone but family so were quite nervous to leave him with someone new, especially only a month or so after a knee surgery for him. Tina reassured us he would be well taken care of and was always easy to reach when we wanted to see how he was doing. He came home happy and well cared for. We are happy to have found Tina and will definitely reach out to her again if we need someone to care for Ollie.”

“Sonia and Greg took care of our dog over the 4th. It is a difficult time for our dog with the fireworks but I felt like our dog was given the space and comfort needed to handle the situation. I would definitely use them again”

“Sabrina and her husband were great! We got pictures daily, multiple times a day of our fur babies. She communicated with me on how they were behaving and eating as my male dog does not eat well when he is not with us. They were taken on walks daily and seemed overall happy with their stay, We will be using Sabrina again in the future.”

“Above and beyond! Max had such a great time being with Jackie and her family. We appreciated receiving updates and photos. Max was taken care of as if he were part of their family and Jackie explained how things would be handled with routines, schedules, and her procedures for leaving the house. We will definitely be returning. (We, as parents, were free to relax and enjoy our trip without worry because of this. We are very grateful.)”

“Morgan was great with our dog! Dewey. He stayed with her for 12 days during our recent vacation. Dewey can be anxious in new settings but she was able to provide one-on-one attention that helps him adjust. She also provided appropriate stimulation such as walks, outside time and toys. This was our first experience with Rover. We’ve used boarding through our vet in the past. The experience with Rover and especially with Morgan, was so much better for us, and more importantly for Dewey!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

“Kent is a lifesaver! It was the weekend of my daughter’s wedding and I had a sitter scheduled and had even dropped my dog off. Unfortunately, my sitters dog had a medical emergency and I had to pick up my dog within hours of dropping her off. I was so nervous, having to find another sitter for a weekend stay, starting the same day, without having met the potential sitter, all while trying to finish up last minute wedding preparations. Enter Kent! I reached out to several Rover sitters as I knew it was going to be tough to find someone so last minute. Kent was one of a few to respond positively, which was amazing to actually have options at this point! I read Kent’s bio and he sounded so kind and it was apparent that he loved dogs. I am thrilled to say that he exceeded my expectations!! He and my pup, Alice, got along so well and he clearly loved her. He sent lovely updates and photos of her throughout the weekend. I will definitely be using Kent again to watch my dog. I truly couldn’t be happier with how the weekend went. I was able to fully concentrate on my daughter’s wedding without a worry about my Alice. Thank you, Kent!!”

“Sonia was absolutely fantastic. My Golden retriever pup was right at home with her. She stays in touch and sends so many updates, pictures, and videos I could see how happy Arjun was. She loves dogs so very much that as a pet owner you will instantly connect with her. It was a pleasure letting her take care of my pet. She gave me total peace of mind during my long out of country trip of 21 days. I had never left my dog for any kind of long duration so I thought it would be hard but I never had any worries as she was on top of everything. She is very accommodating and very responsive as well. I will definitely be back to her anytime I need boarding services. THANK YOU Sonia!!!”

“If I could leave 10 stars I would. Jill and her family were the best! I broke my tibia and fibula back in July and it’s been hard handling an 100+ pound German Shepherd so I was nervous about leaving him with other people, but I was so wrong. In these few days Jill has helped him calm down and just slow down in general. I was able to walk him for the first time in 6 months because of her. It’s like I have a new dog, I cried lol. I can’t believe how above and beyond she went. I’m so grateful to have come across her profile because I have been contemplating on giving him to someone who could handle him but I don’t have to do that now. She was always amazing with sending little pics and updates. Big shout out to Jill and the fam❤️ 100000/10 Forsureeee”

About: I bring more than 10 years of professional dog training experience and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — including large breeds, high-energy working dogs, and bully breeds. I spent 10 years as a professional dog trainer and have extensive hands-on experience with obedience, behavior, handling, and working dogs. I’ve competed with my own dogs in obedience, agility, and Schutzhund, and previously managed a kennel specializing in German Shepherds. I also have experience personally training dogs for police work. Because of my background, I’m confident handling strong, energetic, highly driven, or more challenging dogs that may not be a good fit for every sitter. I understand canine body language, proper handling, structure, and the importance of maintaining the routines and expectations your dog is accustomed to. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy dogs and want owners to feel confident that their dog is being cared for by someone with extensive real-world experience. I currently have a light work schedule so I’m looking to walk dogs during the day. Can also accommodate mornings or evenings if and when needed Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my professional training background, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, safely handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and recognizing potential issues before they become a problem. For walks, I use safe, controlled handling and follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for your dog in your home, I respect your space and work to keep their environment and schedule as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable with large, strong, high-energy, and working breeds and will always treat your dog as an individual.

Katie and family are great! Our small maltipoo had some separation anxiety and was a little hard on the family’s sleep. Katie worked it all out though and by the time we picked our pup up, he was completely happy there. Thank you!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Gilberts

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Gilberts is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $39 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.

There are 1,895 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gilberts. About 92% of Gilberts sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

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 IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
