“Ronilyn is absolutely amazing. I have 2 cats that she looked after. They adored her. I will definitely be calling her again for cat sitting! She’s just a great human being”
“Alyssa is a wonderful and responsive sitter. She was flexible with the meet and greet time, paid attention to all my cat's known risks, followed instructions, and had no trouble giving him liquid oral meds. I appreciated her notes at the end of each visit detailing what she saw and did. Would book again!”
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets and homes for friends and family. Pet sitting has always come naturally to me — I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal, earning their trust, understanding their routines, and caring for them in a way that feels calm and respectful. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I love taking dogs for walks, spending quiet time with cats, and providing plenty of affection, comfort, and reassurance while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for rabbits (including daily cleaning), fish, reptiles, and even a snake, which involved feeding and maintaining proper care routines. I grew up in the countryside, so I’m familiar with farm life and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals consistently and attentively. When caring for a home, I’m tidy, respectful, and mindful of routines. I understand that pets are family members, and I take pride in providing them with safe, loving, and dependable care so owners can travel with complete peace of mind. I’m currently transitioning into civilian life after retiring from the Canadian military and am studying online, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to be present for pets throughout the day, maintain feeding and walking routines, and spend quality time providing companionship, play, and calm supervision. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if required, and household rules. I keep the home tidy and secure, respect privacy, and ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never left in unsafe situations. I believe consistency, calm energy, and attentiveness are key to building trust with both pets and homeowners.
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well
“Samara was fantastic! She followed every instruction I left, kept me updated with photos, and was easy to communicate with. Aurora and Jasper warmed up to her right away and she was attentive and caring with both of them. I felt totally at ease the whole time and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, walking, bathing, and both potty and crate training. I’ve also helped with basic obedience training and understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets, knowing I treat every animal as my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I currently work remote, so have a lot of flexibility to board at my home and attend to your pets needs throughout their stay or visit your home and take care of walks, potty breaks, play time, and grooming. I have a fully fenced yard in my townhouse so dogs can enjoy safe, supervised time outside. Inside, pets are welcome to enjoy furniture, yes, that includes the couch. I keep my space clean and pet-friendly and free of hazards. When I care for pets in a clients home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines and respect their habits and space. I'm mindful and tidy and make sure pets have access to fresh water and clean litter boxes, and lots of attention. My focus is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
“We just started using Emily to walk our pups and interact with them while we are at work. She is doing an amazing job. We have 2 dogs and one has very high energy and some reactivity. She is helping us work through her issues and maintaining our training for our pup.”

About: 🐾 Availability Update Summer 2026 is fully booked. I am now accepting bookings for the Christmas holidays, but availability is limited and filling quickly. I’ve been providing professional pet care for over three years and have been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many wonderful clients and their pets. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can provide attentive, personalized care and build genuine bonds with every animal I look after. I’m excited to welcome a few new pets and families into my routine and look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday; however, my weekends are fully open and I always prioritize my pet clients’ schedules. I’m experienced in coordinating care around varying routines and am happy to work together to find what best suits your pet’s needs. For the comfort and consistency of the pets I care for, I primarily provide overnight care in my clients’ homes. This allows pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I’m not offering boarding at this time, though this may change around November 2026.
“We’ve used Cari to care for our 125lb 15month old puppy multiple times. She has been caring, attentive and reliable. She has assisted in training our dog in multiple ways (leash manners, drop it, etc) as well as offered insight into nutritional needs based on careful reviews of stools, etc. Cari is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate with her care. I’d love to give her 0/5 stars so that nobody else uses her and she’s always going to be available when we need her because I’ll be so sad if there comes a time she isn’t able to care for our dog when the need arises - but alas, she earned a solid 5 stars! Thank you Cari!”
“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started helping with my mom’s pet-sitting business in 2011 and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and other animals. I also participated in dog training in Sherwood Park from 2015–2016, giving me experience with canine behaviour, handling and basic training. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including shy or nervous pets. I know how important routine and familiarity can be, so I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home while following their normal schedule and your instructions closely. My schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different schedules depending on their needs. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines and household rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries and any triggers or behavioural concerns before caring for them.
“Karley was great! It was my first time booking with Rover, and I was slightly nervous. Karley was highly responsive and eased my worries. She also accommodated the booking at the last minute. Although I didn’t have internet connection while away, she sent lovely update photos. It was a pleasure to see them when I got back. I would recommend Karley to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family since I was a baby, caring for my own since 2016. I live on an acreage and have a fenced yard, as well as plenty of walking paths and quiet roads around. Walks can be given twice or more daily, there is someone home during the day and night. We have a fenced yard for free roaming playtime. I can cater to all types of needs! Pets can be free roaming with our family or separated from our pets if social skills or level aren’t compatible. We have a separate spare room at night for sleeping in, and a fenced yard.
“Sierra was great to deal with. Lots of communication and she even brought in my Amazon packages. We had an unfortunate situation with a bird getting into our fireplace and she was also quick to let me know about it. My dog enjoyed all the extra belly rubs. I would highly recommend Sierra!”
“I was happy to leave my cats with Cassandra. We never go anywhere and this was the first we used Rover. She spent time with our cats, made sure they had food and cleaned up after them. I would definitely book with Cassandra again. She was reliable, sent me pictures of our cats and made sure they had all the essentials. We are so grateful for how she cared for our pets!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,059 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Gibbons. About 89% of Gibbons sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Gibbons stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
