“Jessica is amazing with my pup, Molly! She clearly loves dogs and takes such good care of her. Many walks during the day and reporting back to me with photos, which is very much appreciated. My dog is 12 lbs and adores her dog, Sheriff who is a 75 lb black lab. I don’t think Molly knows she’s small lol. I take her there once a week and I know she will have a fun filled day. I highly recommend Jessica as a caregiver for your pet - she’s great!”
“Keetah was so great with my crazy dog! Such good communication - lots of updates and photos provided! Tucker already can’t wait to stay with her again (after a long nap). Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a warm and loving pet enthusiast with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with 14 dogs of my own and fostering many more. My journey has taken me from walking packs on the beaches of Australia, to the stunning Andalusian mountains and now the exquisite trails on the West Coast of Canada. Known by many as a “dog whisperer,” I have a natural ability to connect with dogs, who are instinctively drawn to me. Currently, I enjoy walking two beautiful Border Collies alongside my own Beagle, and on some days, I can be found in the woods with a joyful pack of four or five furry companions. My love for animals extends beyond pet care—I also help people navigate the grief of losing a beloved pet through my hypnotherapy practice. Every dog in my care holds a special place in my heart, and I am deeply committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a Hypnotherapy Practitioner, specializing in pet loss. I work both from home and online, which allows me the flexibility to align my schedule with pet-sitting commitments. This means I can dedicate plenty of one-on-one attention to your pet, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. While in my care, your furry friend will enjoy long walks, playtime in our secure, fenced yard, and plenty of companionship, so they never feel alone. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have a fully fenced and secure yard, where your pet can enjoy playtime with my Beagle, who is very sociable and polite. My home is inviting and welcoming. All dogs that I’ve had stay have been comfortable and happy.
“Christina and her family are amazing, very kind and Floki was so happy when we got him back. He played all day at the beach and climbing gym. Communication was excellent and she also sent us pictures of Floki during the day! Highly recommend her!!”
“Guy was great with our dog Teddy and Teddy liked Guy right away. This is always a good sign! Guy was very knowledgeable about quality dog toys and even familiar with the ones we had. He recognized the type of collar Teddy has right away and even recommended an improvement to try. He was patient and flexible as we were nervous learning our big baby with a stranger for the first time. His house is clean, tidy and very dog friendly. I feel very comfortable leaving Teddy with Guy and his partner as I know Teddy will get lots of love and attention from both of them.”
“In time for pick up amazing yard for Albert and constant update and videos and pictures. Albert is young so she’s helping provide him with play tips. Albert had such a good time and he was exhausted when he got back home.”
“I left my pup with them for her very first time. Jennifer was very communicative throughout her stay. I received tons of updates, along with photos and videos. I highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Irene is absolutely wonderful! My puppy, Wiggle, has separation anxiety and I was nervous leaving her with someone new, but Irene took everything at her pace and made her feel completely at ease from day one. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, used a double leash as an extra precaution without me even asking, and took Wiggle on the most amazing adventure, Jericho, the duck pond, the beach, and shady walks to keep her comfortable. By the end of the day, Wiggle was happily snoozing on Irene’s couch. That says it all! We will definitely be back.”
“Simon was so great- so easy to communicate with and he took such good care of Parker. Took him out for 2 walks and he came home tired and happy. His enclosed yard is also great.”
“Robin is the best! She loves dogs and it shows. She's so attentive. She understands the dogs' little personality quirks. She even went above and beyond to sew my dogs harness when one of my dogs chewed it. She's so accommodating to switch times. My dogs love her and her place and go there and don't look back and are so tired and happy when they come home. She sends great updates and pictures. And she's so dog knowledgeable.”
“Yi-Yu is truly the best! Wolfy has tons of energy and needs daily fetch, and he came home happy and completely tired every single day. She even took him out on the rainiest day, which meant so much to me. Yi-Yu is easygoing, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her — thank you, Yi-Yu!”
“Lisa has been an absolute god send for me and my little guy Mac! She is wonderful, always flexible, and genuinely loves the dogs she looks after! I love to see the photos and videos of Mac playing with the other pups, just ahvi t a great time. Lisa is the best!”
“I am out of words to express how grateful I am for the care my dog, Bobo, received. All this happened when I had to travel to Canada on a days notice due to work. On such short notice, she welcomed Bobo into her home and made her feel completely at ease. Her sweet dog, Loki, quickly became Bobo’s best buddy, which made me so happy. She took Bobo on regular walks, sent me updates, and made me feel truly at peace while I was away. It’s rare to find someone so kind, reliable, and genuinely loving toward animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — Bobo is already looking forward to her next visit!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gibsons on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,108 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Gibsons. About 86% 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:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
