“Tracey provided such a great experience for my dog Hazel and for me while I was gone!! Tracey did an outstanding job keeping me informed and providing me with the reassurance that let me relax during my trip. I recommend her sitter services!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals with love and attention. I’m comfortable with all breeds, and I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to give extra belly rubs or playtime. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing gentle care, I treat every pet like family. I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine and am available every day of the week. Since I currently stay at home with (1 year old), I can provide your pet with attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will enjoy a calm, nurturing environment where they receive plenty of affection and companionship alongside my little one. I am available at 1:00 pm on weekdays, during early mornings, and at any time on weekends. In my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I provide consistent care that includes scheduled feeding, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring a calm and secure atmosphere. Whether in my own space or your pet’s familiar surroundings, I remain attentive to their routine and comfort, offering both affection and respect throughout the day.
“Valary is great. She has tons of land, for the dogs to run and walk in, on or off leash. Her house was ideal for my dogs stay. He had a large yard to stay in during the day, then a living room for the night. He looked like he had a huge smile on his face the entire time, and was super tired afterwards - which meant he got lots of exercise - from running wild and jumping in lakes.”
“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
About: I have a life time of experience around cats, dogs and numerous other animals. My dad, a retired veterinarian and animal physical therapist, taught me everything there is to know about caring for animals. While placing safety first, I offer peace of mind for you and create tail-wagging fun for your pets. I can take your dog out on walks, hikes and runs, or keep them busy indoors. During drop-in visits I can also take care of light household chores. I'm available Friday to Monday for drop-in visits and dog walks, and 7 days a week for boarding. I'm a homemaker with a flexible schedule. I can board dogs 7 days a week and do twice to 3 times a day drop-in visits from Friday to Monday. I'm also available for dog walks, weekend hikes or 3-mile runs. I'm comfortable around cats, all size dogs and breeds, as well as other types of animals. I have experience administering oral medications and light grooming for both dogs and cats. Please let me know if your pet has special needs like arthritis, special diets, blindness, deafness, anxiety, etc.
“Anusha is an amazing sitter for Kumo. She updated us with pictures and videos every few hours which we greatly appreciated, and made us feel at ease during our vacation as we could see Kumo was having the time of her life. She even made a best friend during her stay! We're very lucky to have found her as a sitter and highly recommend!”
“It was the second time staying at Brian’s. My puppy stayed in a safe and well cared for home. Brian was very patient with letting her feel comfortable. All in all wonderful experience.”
“I am so thankful to Michelle for taking care of Chase. I knew he might not eat his food because he gets anxious when we leave him. Michelle kept me up to date with his eating and took my suggestions to help my little guy. They took him on walks and sent me photos and videos. I am very happy with how they took care of Chase.”
“Shirley took great care of our dog while we were on vacation, and made her feel right at home. She sent us regular pictures to assure us that our dog was doing fine in our absence. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Petra and her family treated my two Labs as if they were part of the family for the five days of their stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in loving care with frequent pic and video updates.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”
“Nayana is a great dog sitter for our anxious dog, Brando. I needed last minute coverage for our dog and she was willing to accommodate him. I feel comfortable leaving our family dog with Nayana anytime and know that he will be well cared for and loved. Communication during his stay was also fantastic!”
“Kira took amazing care of Mac! She was attentive, loving, and kept me updated during his stay. The place was clean and safe, and Mac came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Kira for anyone needing trustworthy”
“As always, my dog was happy and well cared for with Rachel C., who sent updates and made sure our elderly dog got her medicines and lots of attention too. We are grateful for her help, and will happily continue to work with her!”
“Pissamas really cares for the dogs she looks after. When one of my dogs had diarrhea upon dropping them off & informed her of it, she recommended & fed him chicken & rice. During Thanksgiving she put them on the cutest pilgrim outfits and sent their photos. She took the dogs for daily walks. The dog are simply happy with her. I recommend her service.”
“When our regular sitter wasn’t available for the last night of our vacation, Christy and Cornell came to the rescue. Zoey was very happy and cared for at pickup and they were great communicators!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gilroy is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $90 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 October 2026, there are 1,149 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gilroy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% 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.
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.
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.
