“Jessica was wonderful with Kiwi! She took great care of her and even brought her out for a fun day at the beach. Kiwi came home happy and well cared for. We’d happily have Jessica look after her again and would definitely recommend her!”
“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 !”
“Ariel was great to communicate with, kind, and accommodating. Thank you for taking care of Yumi and providing updates! I knew Yumi was well cared for and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ariel again.”
“Amy was SOOO accomodating! And just a friendly and caring person overall. It was my first time using a pet sitter while on a road trip to Ucluelet and I decided to try squeeze in some whale watching. Amy accepted Zoey with 1 nights notice and even accomodated an earlier drop-off because I forgot to account for the 45min check-in time for the excursion. Amy sent text & pic updates. Zoey was very well taken care of & even got to enjoy an oceanside walk. :)”
“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!”
“Jinju and Sierra treat my dog like their own!! I never have to worry when he is in their care. Rex is always excited to see them at drop off & always leaves sleepy and well exercised 😊”
“Menghan was kind enough to accept our short notice request and she never disappoints with keeping us up to date with Kenzie's activities - always sending lots of photos and videos. Kenzie is so well taken care of and has so much fun with Menghan and the other pups there. Will definitely book another stay soon!”
“Guy & Zol were outstanding with Bear - I couldn’t be happier with the care he received, how well they looked after him, the updates and amazing responsiveness. I booked last minute after a change of plans with another sitter and I’ve unexpectedly found an absolute gem in dog sitting. Thank you both so, so much.”
“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.”
“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.”
“What a wonderful couple who were so kind, caring and patient with our anxious rescue! Our pooch isn’t usually a fan of people, but warmed super quickly to Luiz and Luciana! They followed our instructions and sent regular updates. We’ll be regular clients!”
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.
“Lisa is very good with dogs and is very friendly! I love that she sends me pictures of their adventures and day to day activities. My dog is learning a lot and I definitely appreciate all that she is learning from Lisa! Highly recommend :)”
“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!”
“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.”

Awesome experience with Vanessa. She took Allie with her for a day to the beach accompanied by her lovely golden retriever, Juno. She sends you pictures of your dog having fun during the day, she is easy to work with for meeting arrangements. You can tell she is a god loving person. Definitely recommend. Thanks Vanessa!

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.

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.
