“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”

“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”


“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Stasha came through on a last min booking. She gave us updates every day, and Bruno was so happy in all the pics. She will definitely be our first choice next time Bruno needs a sitter.”

“JD is great. He is one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. He is a good communicator and answers all texts immediately and updates you with many pics at least twice a day. You’ll never be unsure whether or not your dog is being taken care of. He’s amazing with all breeds and understood what it takes to keep our English Bulldog clean and maintained (as all owners of wrinkly dogs know what the daily regimen entails). Whether it’s a short stay or a longer boarding, JD is someone to trust!”


“Very responsive both before and during the pet sitting. She seemed super organized and communicated frequently with me during my trip, even though we were in a different time zone. There was a moment that the dry food we had provided ran out unexpectedly! Luckily Tracey alerted us ahead of time and we were able to come up with a solution. We felt very confident that our cat was having a blast while staying with Tracey! :D”
“Wendy was excellent with my dog & 2 cats. They took a liking to her right away. She always text me to let me know how my babies were doing. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming vacations. It was nice knowing that animals were definitely in great hands🩷”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular care, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat prefers a quiet check-in, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and give pets the care and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication instructions when needed. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. 🐾
“Dipanjana was absolutely amazing with Rascal! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated and sent photos of Rascal, which I really appreciated. She was caring, dependable, and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”

“Gigi did a great job watching my Maltipoo dog for 10 nights. Her family provided a true home for our pup, and I’ll always be grateful! She took great care of him, and took him on multiple walks a day. She has went above and beyond by brushing his hair and teeth, cleaning his eyes, and giving him a bath. She provided a lot of photos and videos and his list of activities that day which made us feel relieved that my fur baby is in good hand and having fun. He came home clean, happy and content. Highly recommend for anyone looking to board their pup! Thanks again for taking such good care of Ethan :)”

About: I have my own space with an easy to clean floor. I am very chill and and I'm located very near 101 and the Gilroy Outlets. I work as a in-home Care Service and I enjoy my work I worked hard enough to find time to take care of my kitten and the rest of world. Cat powers, woof! I usually let them free roam but if they have to be in the crate either you or I can use a crate for your services the usual clean floor and dog mats or dog trainer pads and kitty litter will be available respectively.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When your pet stays with me, they receive the exact same level of deep compassion, endless cuddles, and focused attention that I give to my own. I am experienced with dogs, birds, and rabbits. I share my home with a wonderfully chatty, smaller-sized Siberian Husky named Fuschia. She loves to "talk," but she is trained, incredibly friendly, gentle, and absolutely adores playing with new furry friends. Other than being a chatty Cathy, Fuschia is the anti-husky- preferring to sleep and chill than having high energy. Whether your dog wants a playmate or just a buddy to lounge near, my husky is an excellent, welcoming host. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be alone and will receive frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, and all the affection they can handle. ------------------------------ 🩺 Experience & Special Skills I'm a lifelong pet lover who has owned or taken care of pets since childhood. I've owned tiny dogs (chihuhuas and terrier mixes), a large wild dog that needed extensive training (a wolf-husky hybrid), birds, a rabbit, and have helped friends take care of their exotic animals (snakes and lizards). I’ve been dog sitting for approximately ten (10) years. I have enjoyed sitting small dogs to giant doodles (who believe they are small lap dogs) as well as elderly and special needs dogs. I’m a true animal lover and offer comprehensive care tailored to your pet's specific life stage and health requirements: * From Puppies to Seniors: I understand the patience and frequent training breaks required for tiny puppies, as well as the gentle pacing, orthopedic comfort, and slow walks needed for elderly dogs. * Medical & Sick Dog Care: If your dog requires special medical attention, you can rest easy. I am highly experienced in administering oral and topical medications, managing strict dosing schedules, feeding according to strict dietary needs, and providing a calm, stress-free environment for dogs. * Small Animal Expertise (Birds & Rabbits): I don’t just care for dogs! As a prior bird and rabbit owner, I am fully experienced in handling, feeding, cage or pen cleaning, and understanding the unique requirements of rabbits and birds. ------------------------------ 🏡 My Home & Safety Setup Your pet’s safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. * Dog Play Areas: Dogs have plenty of room to stretch their legs, curl up on a couch, and run around and play inside the house and in my secure fenced in yard. When they play with my husky they will be always be supervised. *Sleeping: When it’s time to sleep your dog will sleep in a crate inside the house to ensure they are safe and secure while they are resting. * Sanitation & Routines: I’ll adhere to your feeding schedules. I’ll take your dog for a walk and can bathe them if requested. ** Separate, Stress-Free Zone for small animal friends: To ensure a calm and secure environment, all guest birds and rabbits are kept in a completely separate room away from any dogs in the house. They will enjoy a quiet, predator-free space where they can feel safe and be nurtured. During the week, I work from home and have a flexible shift that ends in the early afternoons. On weekends, I'm home, and your fur baby will get plenty of walks and playtime. I live in a gated community in Morgan Hill and have a securely fenced yard for your dog to run and play. I keep the dogs in the house when I'm working, and there are plenty of couches for the dogs to curl up on and nap. At night, the dogs sleep in a crate inside the house. I'd prefer to use your crate to make your dog feel more at home, but I have a small and large crate available for dogs that don't have one. Small Animals (birds and rabbits) are kept in a separate room the entire stay. They will not have any interaction with any dog in the house.
“My pup felt instantly at home! Very sweet family. Had so much fun exploring their backyard, playing with her kids & they even had extra toys for him which I know he loved. Would 1000% recommend.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took amazing care of our two French Bulldogs and treated them like their own. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring and responsible hands. They kept me updated, gave them plenty of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and comfortable the entire time. It’s not easy leaving our two babies with someone, but this experience gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We will definitely be using them again! ❤️🐾”

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”

“Jen did an awesome job taking care of Taco. Taco is my problem child yet Jen knew how to handle it. She sent pictures and kept me updated. I highly recommend Jen. Thank you. Jen!”

“Extremely happy with our booking with Anusha. Great communication with video and text updates throughout the days Buddy stayed. Felt very comfortable leaving him in Anusha’s care. I would recommend Anusha to anyone and would use her again🤓”

First time booking with Tracey. She is friendly, responsive, and flexible. Our Havanese is a very picky eater, and Tracey went above and beyond to make sure she ate. She also provided photos daily. We would highly recommend Tracey and would definitely book with her again.

Wendy was excellent with my dog & 2 cats. They took a liking to her right away. She always text me to let me know how my babies were doing. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming vacations. It was nice knowing that animals were definitely in great hands🩷

We used Deepika for the weekend and couldn't be happier. Our dogs were safe, happy, and well-cared for. We especially appreciated the (frequent photo updates and communication). It was clear our doggies felt right at home. We will definitely be using Deepika again and highly recommend her services!

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.
94% of sitters in Gilroy 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 Gilroy 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 Gilroy.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gilroy 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 CA 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.
