“Luna had a great time with Huy. He took her on walks, let her play with another dog after introducing them, and took her to the dog park across the street from his house. We would definitely use Huy again.”
“JD was such a breathe of fresh air. He has such a calm energy and my dog that is nervous with men took to him very well. I loved that he had a little pack of dogs for my dog to vibe off of and play with. He was very attentive with sending pictures throughout the day which eased my worries. I will definitely use him again!”
“Tracey has been great my little Penny is always comfortable staying with her whether it is overnight or a few hours. She has been very easy to work with and you can tell she cares about the fur babies. The last time I had her watch my dog 🐶 I asked her to watch Penny for an extra couple of hours she was nice enough to allow us even though it was late. Really appreciate that I feel comfortable leaving my little girl with her.”
About: I was raised on a ranch in Texas with over 2000 stock to care for as a young child and teen. I not only love animals, but I have cared for all kinds of exotic, wildlife, and domestic animals. On top of caring for other friends and family members' pets for over a decade now. I have a Mane Coon cat and a Maltipoo now that I care for daily outside of caring for other fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule due to only being a provider of pet services. I live in a 3 story home with no yard. However, we do have a very nice pet-assigned area for bathroom needs on top of the most beautiful walking grounds you could ask for being a pet owner. We do not smoke. We have wood floors throughout our home. Pets are allowed on my furniture. Your pet will be treated like our pet and we would always put safety & happiness first.
“Our Cooper came home so happy from his day with Marialorena and her family!! She was very responsive to our texts and she sent pics and videos along with a few updates throughout the day! It was obvious that he was well cared for and I would strongly recommend her and will book with her again in the future!!”
About: 👋🏼 Why did I join Rover as a sitter? Because I know how tough it is to find a trustworthy caregiver to watch over your dog, especially if they’re timid/reserved. My goal is provide a safe space for your four-legged baby to thrive while you are away and allow you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am passionate about the well-being of all pets whether they be through fostering or boarding, otherwise I wouldn’t open up my home to do this. 🗓️ I work from home full time and can give your dog plenty of attention, exercise opportunities outdoors, and cuddles at home. On the weekends, I’m either cozied up at home or taking my dogs out on excursions around the Bay Area. 🏡 I have a large fenced yard with grass and concrete. I can keep your dogs in crates, pens, in a separate room, or let them roam free inside my home if they are house trained and comfortable with that. 🙇🏻♀️ I am detail-oriented and diligent when it comes to pet care. My late dog Zooey had glaucoma and took several medications 2x a day, so I understand the importance of following a strict schedule. I’ve also had to work through my own dog’s reactivity with training so I’m very conscious of creating safe spaces for dogs and advocating for their needs, especially for the dogs who don’t want to engage in play with other dogs. 📸 I will send you a lot of adorable photos and videos throughout the day so you can see just how much they are livin' their best life. 🦴 Feel free to bring a bed, crate, favorite toy, etc - whatever items will help your pup feel comfortable!
About: I'm energetic. I love animals and love taking care of them. I am very reliable and always make sure the animal is well taken care of. I had a dog of my own for 17 years and as he got older he needed lots of care. Medication daily, needed an inhaler once a day, and insulin injections. I’m a weightlifter (strong) so working with big, strong dogs is no problem for me! I own a gym with my fiancé in Morgan hill. I coach 2 classes a day wich allows me lots of free time during my days to care for animals. I have a fenced in backyard so your animal will be safe and protected when with me. When I’m in the clients home I never leave the dog alone for more than 3-4 hours which is rare I’m gone that long. But if I have to coach a class I’ll leave and come right back. I always give the dogs 3 walks a day even if the owner only requests 2. I just know it’s important for the dogs to get out and get some fresh air :)
About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.
“Paul was great with my pup! I was camping nearby his house and couldn’t take my dog to an excursion my family and I went to. Paul Sent me many pictures of walks and videos of my dog. I felt reassured he was safe while I was away for the day.”
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own! I have had dogs my entire life. I understand animals and their needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom. So I am very flexible with fitting in pet care into my day! If you need last minute extra help, I am available! I will follow any instructions for the pet and eager to start! I respect any request and willing to provide support wherever I am needed!
“Holly was super communicative and easy to work with. Lots of great pics of my pups having a good time, would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place for their pups to hangout”
“Robby and his wife were excellent caretakers for my furbaby. They sent pictures of her having a fun time during the day and handled everything with ease. Your pup is in good hands with Robby!”
“I recently had to go back to the office and was anxious about leaving my stinker of a puppy (😂) with a sitter. After giving Mimi a try based on her great reviews then meeting her in person, I have zero regrets. She is incredibly kind, and my dog loves staying with her. He always comes home tired and happy. That’s a sign he got plenty of play and exercise. What I really really like about leaving my dog with Mimi is that he gets social interaction with other dogs which is his number 1 priority so I guess it’s mine too. 😂 Thank you Mimi for accommodating my changes in scheduling and taking good care of Finn. He loves you!!”
“Absolutely wonderful stay! My dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the whole time. Great communication, very reliable, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

We’ve never left our little maltipoo with anyone but family, so we were nervous, especially since he’s not used to being around big dogs. From the moment we met Jatin, I knew our dog was in good hands! He sent lots of pictures throughout the day, giving us peace of mind. Seeing our little guy happily around Dobermans and other dogs was amazing! Best decision ever! We will definitely be using Jatin every time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend! ❤️
My first time leaving Brewski with someone that wasn’t family so I was a bit nervous but Petra helped ease my worries. Brewski settled right in and got to relax and play with her family. She kept us updated the whole time as well! Will definitely be booking again
Jennifer was wonderful with our young dog Teddy, 16 months old Maltese mix. He spent the day playing and Jennifer send photo updates throughout the day. She cheerfully accommodated my last minute request for an extra day. Always prompt with her replies, she really helped make our trip to the Gilroy area a more relaxing stay. I would highly recommend Jennifer’s services and would definitely choose to book Teddy with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Gilroy is $56 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $72 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.

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 Gilroy 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 951 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. 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 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.
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 .
