About: Your pet is a member of your family- I understand that and will treat them like a VIP. I had a shih-tzu for 16 years and she was a big part of my life, from the time she was a perky little pup to spunky senior. I am compassionate and able to care for your pet at any stage of life. I have recently changed my career path and I am available for long walks, park play times, and quiet naps all day and every day. I enjoy the outdoors, and I have great instincts for dog care. I have a nice little fenced yard and very few stairs in my home. It’s just the two of us living here, and no pets of our own. If you need me to come to your home, I am willing to maintain whatever routines work best for your pet.
“We had another sitter cancel Last minute and David was able To help us out with watching our dogs. We use another dog sitting website and ended up with no sitter. David came over a week before we left to ensure he could watch our dogs and it was a good fit. We have a young puppy too and he was very accommodating. We also liked that david stayed most of time at home With the dogs to train The puppy. Our house was also clean when we came home and had daily pictures and a video sent. It was very easy to communicate. We recommend david for Sure.”
About: I bring a calm, attentive presence and years of experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. What sets me apart is my intuitive approach, ability to read animal behavior, and commitment to keeping pets comfortable in their own routines. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and loving space for every animal I care for. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, which means I have ample time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide regular walks, companionship, and consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals,it’s one of the best parts of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping arrangements. I take the time to build trust, using a calm and patient approach that helps animals feel secure. In clients’ homes, I treat the space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.
“This was my first time leaving my pup with someone other than family, and it was the best first experience! Samana made me feel at ease right from the start, and ensured I knew how everything worked every step of the way. She was SO great with Ellie, even though Ellie didn’t allow Samana to get a lot of sleep! Ellie was happy and had so much fun playing and going for walks with Samana. Samana went above and beyond, and left both my house and my pup in pristine condition! I will have Samana back in the future, for sure!”
“We had Rachel house sit for us last week and were very satisfied with her services. The house was clean as we leave it and the dogs were well taken care of. She gave us frequent updates and pictures and through communicating we knew she understood them. Highly recommend Rachel as as a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
“Darlene is great at what she does. She has taken care of our home and pets twice now, and we love her. She updates us as needed. She takes care of the place and leaves no foot print. We are so lucky too have known her, and will continue to hire her services. Our dogs love her.”
“We are so luckily to have met Danica! Our fur baby can be quite reactive and not do well with strangers. But with Danica's love, patience and expertise for animals our dog Mowgli had no issues with her. She took it super slow with him and made sure to watch for any clues that Mowgli wasn't comfortable and by the second night Mowgli was already snuggling with her feet! Can't wait to book her again soon.”
“Danica's 2-week stay with our border terrier gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was quick to pick up on all the details we provided and even thought to check on a few we missed. Whenever we were looking for an update, she sent a clear and concise message. We returned to a tidy dust-free home with squeaky clean floors and nicely shoveled walks. Thanks, Danica, for such good care of Bobbin and our home!”
About: I’m a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals, along with professional experience working in an animal hospital. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away I’m currently working part time serving so my schedule is pretty flexible just waiting to go to school in the fall. I’m always able to work around schedules and what works best for the owner. I’m very attentive when it comes to all types of animals. We have a fenced in yard but live on acreage so my pets have a lot of area to run and play but also no chance of them getting lost because they also are trained. I make sure there are no dangerous areas around my home from sharp corners to things on the ground. My dogs constantly have water but are on a strict eating schedule. My cats are fed at all times and also have water at all times. My dogs and cats usually have a goo rotation when it comes to toys I get them ones that won’t harm them if they rip them apart, but if they do I will buy them a new one. I’d say there pretty spoiled animals but when you love them doesn’t seem like work at all.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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 .
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
