“Lori went above and beyond taking care of my cat and dog for 2.5 weeks in our house. My animals were very well taken care of, and she was great at messaging. I was very happy that I got daily photos or videos of them! When I come back my house was immaculate. I would recommend her and will for sure book her again!”
“Janessa did a great job caring for my 3 cats and 1 dog while apartment sitting as well. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I really appreciated the peace of mind while I was away and photo updates. I would definitely book her again!”
“Highly recommend Jeremy. Jeremy went over and above taking care of my dog Pocky . He will now be my dog sitter anytime I leave. I’m really nervous leaving my dog but Jeremy continued to put my mind at ease.”
“Naomi's love of animals is very evident in her interaction with our pets. They love her too! Her photo updates were very appreciated. Our home was cared for as well. We look forward to having Naomi dog/house sit in the future.”
“Sara was fantastic! We booked a two week trip and then realized our previous sitters had all had their own families and unable to watch our dog. We were so grateful to have found Sara as she took incredible care of our girl, sent adorable daily photo updates, and our house was exactly as we had left it. But what stood out for us was that our dog was so relaxed when we got home because for us it was a sign she had a great time while we were gone and was taken care of amazingly. We will without a doubt use Sara again in the future.”
“Amy stayed at our home with our two dogs while we were away. She was responsive and adaptable to our young dog and our senior fellow. She even provided a video of our pups playing. With Amy’s help we enjoyed our time away and our pups were well cared for. Thanks, Amy!”

“Christopher was absolutely amazing! We had Chris house sit for two weeks and he made sure not only visit multiple times a day for bathroom breaks and feeding but also stayed for extended periods at a time to ensure my dog wasn’t lonely and bored. Chris also ensured to leave the house in the exact same state that I had left it in which is great appreciated. He also provided updates throughout the time as well and I felt like I always knew exactly what was going on back home. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter while they are away!”
“Absolutely amazing. I have my Vet med assisting, have worked in a emergency setting for 4 years and also I have worked in dog daycare, so to say the least nothing feels good enough for my pets.... EXCEPT ZOE shes phenomenal and I highly recommend even if your catnor dog need medication. I have 3 kitten babies and 2 dogs at completely different stages and Im wowed by her.”
“Reagan was excellent with our dog, Hugo. She house sat for us for a few days while we were away and she was very attentive to Hugo. He really enjoyed her company. We would be happy to work with her again”
“Can’t say enough on how great it was to have Danielle step up and take care of our Maddie on short notice. We will definitely look to book Danielle again She took great care of 8 yr old “pup” and treated her so good and followed the post op instructions we provided thanks again Danielle!”
“Zenna did a great job housesitting our 2 large dogs for a week! Her communication was great throughout the initial booking, meet and greet, and our trip. Our dogs eat raw and can be a bit of a handful, but she took the time to ask all about their routines, temperaments, and quirks during the meet and greet. She sent update pictures throughout our trip, and when we got home our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. Our house is clean (even with a shedding Husky). I'd definitely feel comfortable have Zenna watch our pups again!”
“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”
“Where to begin!! I will definitely be calling on Alana for future dog sitting. She went above and beyond. Right from the meet and greet my 2x dogs were so happy to meet her. She provided ample updates and videos which made me feel like confident in her abilities to take good care of my dogs. The house was left nice and clean. Overall very happy with her services and will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Megan was amazing. My dogs were happy and comfortable. They played and had cuddle puddles. Megan sent me pictures and updates. Not only did she take care of my babies she made sure she cleaned the floors, took out the garbage, even emptied my dishwasher. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Emily stayed in our home and cared for our two mischievous large dogs, and one elderly diabetic cat. By far, she has been the best pet sitter we have ever had (and we've had some good ones)!! Our three girls are a real handful given their different personalities, feeding schedules, exercise requirements and medication needs but Emily handled it all with calmness and care. We received daily updates with pictures and videos that clearly revealed that the girls felt happy and comfortable with her being there. She also kept us posted when she was leaving and when she would be back. Emily is a gentle, animal-loving, responsible person whom we have already booked for our next trip. She is one of a kind!”
“Samana was excellent with our dog. She did a great job keeping us updated on what they were doing throughout the day with pictures, videos and texts. We would happily use Samana again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gibbons. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gibbons maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gibbons walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gibbons choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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.
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 veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
