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’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!”

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.
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.
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've taken care of dogs and cats for 20 plus years, I grew up on a 2400 acre ranch for most of my life :) I have yet to meet an animal that dislikes me! I am home most of the time so I can take the dog out at any time :) I have another dog that they can play with as well she is very friendly, a bit older so not to playful. Whatever the customer suggests with their animal I will follow those guidelines. There are other animals here for them to play with so they don't feel alone. Bring any toys or food that your pet needs :) I want them to feel as comfortable as possible, just like my own animals.
“Very good communication, easy to work with. My dog was very happy! I did not worry, as the communication was excellent so i knew what was going on and the photos were great. I would highly recommend Emily!”

About: Literally, dogs will randomly come up to me, bark, smile and walk away. My wife jokingly calls me the "dog whisperer". BecauseI I love dogs, and ALL of them love me back. I have experience working at a doggie daycare, volunteering at the Edmonton and Calgary Humane Societies and I have assisted in a small boutique dog grooming shop. I have experience with house sitting, walking, feeding, cleaning and caring for puppies, old dogs, sick dogs, and in some cases, dogs who don't have a lot of time left on their clocks. Many months ago, I was at a friend's house up in the mountains when her dog returned with a large goose quill stuck in their husky's lower jaw. The husky sat and whimpered. Immediately, I jumped into action. First just trying to wiggle it out with my fingers. Unfortunately, it was really buried in his gums. I had to resort to using a pair of pliers to get a good enough grip on it and gentle pulled it out of his jaw. When we were done with this impromptu rescue, that dog became my best friend, every time I went to their house. I am great with dogs of any size, Giant 100+ pound Great Danes to the littlest Chihuahua under 10 pounds. All dogs are welcome those with BIG PERSONALITIES or those who need to take their time getting to know each other.
About: For 16 wonderful years, I cared for my own highly anxious dog who, in her senior years, also became blind and deaf. That experience taught me deep patience, compassion, and how to make even the most sensitive pups feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs — and I’m here to meet them with care and kindness. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, some cozy company while you’re away, or just extra love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and treat every furry friend like family. Expect regular updates, happy tails, and total peace of mind. Let’s keep your pup safe, loved, and having the best time—every time we hang out! I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, dinner-time company, or weekend care, I’ve got you covered with plenty of love, patience, and reliable service! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pup in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel safe, loved, and respected. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality. From managing anxious pups to senior dogs with special care needs, I handle every situation with patience and attention. I always follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions you provide — and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and treat your space the way I’d want mine to be treated. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long, and I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and love. You can trust that your dog is in good hands — safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: Me and my family raised and breed American Akita’s and other farm and exotic animals back home in Alberta. I also grow up with all kinds of breeds of dogs from small one’s to big breed dogs. I’m personally an active person. So I’ll be taking an proactive approach in your dog and make sure it gets as much activity with me as possible. If your dog likes being lazy, I can hangout with him/her and watch Netflix and give them lots of attention. But most importantly, I’ll give as much love and care as you would for your dog. My schedule is mostly free in the morning and afternoon’s during the weekdays. If you require a certain day, please give notice. Thanks, see you and your dog soon. I’m currently in the process of joining the armed forces and work part-time. Meaning lots of playtime and adventures to play with puppies and dogs. I have a house with a yard and a gate to keep the dogs inside. I’m very attentive with dogs with any special needs and wants.
About: I was lucky enough to share 15 years with my dog Kaya, raising her from a 2-month-old pup until her final day. I personally trained her, including off-leash walking, and cared for her through every life stage - from the high energy puppy phase to her senior years. I've had dogs in my life since i was very young and I very much enjoy their company - whether its going for long walks or just hanging out at home. I am currently in the process of a career change and am in school full time, working part time and am looking to fill my time with something i love doing! Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I’ve recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on full time studies, which means I’m home and available much more often. Currently, I only work weekends on an alternating schedule of days and evenings, leaving me with plenty of open time during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, pets are welcome to relax with me in the living room or rest in my room if they prefer a quieter space. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I can make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. I live close to the river valley walking trails and nearby dog parks. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means structured walks, supervised play, or quiet downtime. I take precautions to ensure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I’m committed to keeping them on their regular feeding, exercise, and care routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Building trust—both with pets and their people—is at the heart of how I provide care.
“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to each pet. Since I work from home, your pet will receive consistent, focused companionship throughout the day. I have hands-on experience training puppies and can help reinforce positive behaviors while keeping routines consistent. I’m also attentive to the unique needs of senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and supported at all times. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to match their personality, age, and specific needs — just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care just fits right into my day. I’m always around to give them my full attention. We go for 1-2 walks every day, and I make sure there’s always time for play. It’s all about keeping things balanced and making sure they’re happy and active. At home, I’m all about making sure my pets feel comfortable and happy, with lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same approach—giving them the care and attention they need based on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I try to make sure they feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,076 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Gibbons. About 88% 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
