“Kimira was fantastic! Very flexible and super accommodating. She sent us photos and updates throughout the day and our four year old pup was very happy when we picked him up from his day with her. We definitely recommend her!”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with a Safe, Calm Home I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature. From playful pups to senior companions, I understand the attention, patience, and love each pet needs. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks, play sessions in the yard, or just relaxing with them if that’s more their style. My home is safe, quiet, and welcoming—an ideal place for pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or outdoor adventures, your pet will be treated like family. Working from home allows me to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or just having a calm, reassuring presence nearby, I’m able to incorporate their needs seamlessly into my routine. I take regular breaks, which are perfect for cuddle sessions or bathroom breaks, and I always make sure pets feel included, seen, and safe. Your pet won’t be left alone or ignored—they’ll be part of my peaceful, pet-friendly home life. When it comes to pet sitting, I know how important it is for pet owners to feel completely confident in the care their pet is receiving. I build trust through consistent communication, timely updates, and lots of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I stick to your preferred schedule and follow the care plan carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, walks, or routines your pet is used to. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, creating a safe and comforting environment. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra attention, you can count on me to be attentive, respectful, and reliable.
“This was Bogie's second visit to Deborah's home. He left out of the car and dashed into her yard as fast as he could leaving me in the dust. Clearly he couldn't wait to spend more time with his new friend.”
“Amy took great care of my senior dog during a doggy care session. She was great at communication and provided updates while he was staying with her. I could tell my dog was very well looked after. I would fully recommend Amy to anyone looking for services on Rover.”
“Menghan looked after Lenny, our 2 year old Labrador for the first time today. It was also our first time using Rover. Menghan’s communication was exceptional and we received photos and videos of Lenny having a wonderful time all throughout the day. Lenny came home exhausted and happy and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her in Menghan’s care again 😊💕🐾”
“Our puppy has had the pleasure of being in Tosha's care for countless times. She is very caring and playful with Stetson. Tosha is always my first call for sitting and daycare.”
“This was my first time using Rover and booking a sitter with whom my dog was unfamiliar. We were both nervous! But, everything went swimmingly. I received updates throughout the day, with pictures, from which I could see Ruthie was being well cared for. I will certainly book these sitters again!”
“Lisa took great care of our pup! They even gave us some treats to take home. Our little one seemed to really enjoy his time with Lisa, and we will definitely book again in the future.”
“Irene is amazing with my puppy Bailey. Bailey is very excited for day care and sad when she leaves. I have a varied schedule and Irene has been so accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog Finn had a great stay with Jennifer and David! He’s an energetic pup who can sometimes be a handful, but Jennifer was so patient, caring and attentive right from the start. She took the time to fully understand his needs, asked all the right questions and made sure he felt comfortable and at home. They were great at communicating with us both before and during his stay which helped us enjoy our day knowing he was happy and cared for with lots of walks, play and attention. One of the best experiences we’ve had on Rover and we would love to have more visits again in the future!”
“Carey and Kaja were absolutely amazing sitters for my dogs, Finley and Oliver! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease leaving my pups in their care while my sister and I skied. They provided frequent updates, including pictures and messages, which reassured me that Finley and Oliver were happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear they treated my dogs like their own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise. When I picked them up, both dogs were relaxed and content—always a sign of a great sitter! I highly recommend Carey and Kaja to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“We're so glad to know Durley who is very warm & caring person. Joy looks very comfortable with her & Morita 😀. And we really appreciate Durley for caring Joy in the busiest season of the year !”
“Angela provided excellent comfort and care for Tater. The extra walks for a short stay were great and Angela’s calm demeanour was so good for Tater. We will be back!”
“Jinju took wonderful care of our pup Sienna while I was at work for the day. Communication was quick and easy and the follow-up was great to see how Sienna spend her day. Jinju was thoughtful, caring, and responsive - we would definitely recommend Jinju and would easily book in again.”
“Ariel was wonderful with my puppy, Mooka. From the start, she was punctual, kind, and very attentive to Mooka’s needs. Ariel kept me updated throughout the booking, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and patience, especially with a young dog. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

There are 2,055 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Gibsons. About 89% of Gibsons 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Gibsons commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
