I think Gildor helped as much as he could by sending the news of 'hobbits on the road without Gandalf' to Rivendell. If he hadn't done this clearly the hobbits and Aragorn would be no match against the nine riders (just pointing out that they were 'saved' by Glorfindel and Asfaloth for it was he that saw that Frodo had to make HASTE).
Gildor, as have we all, has also business of his own. Who is he to go and step along with four hobbits?... he did much by sending the news and even more by letting him walk along and giving him advise.

'You?' cried Frodo.
'Yes, I, Gandalf the Grey,' said the wizard solemnly. 'There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.'
