About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.

“We adore Kate! She walked our pup for a week and a half and was prompt everyday, sent photos and took long walks with our pup. Our dog was happy and tired at the end of the day, which is a sign of a great walker! She was flexible with our last minute booking and always sent an updated Rover card so I could see what went on. Will ABSOLUTELY be reserving her services again! She is fantastic!!!!!”

“Andrea has been wonderful with my dog, Roxy! She is so sweet, and you can truly tell how much she loves animals. I hired her for midday walks while I’m at work, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She always sent pictures and detailed updates after each walk, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Roxy was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!”

About: I am experienced in everything your pet would need plus I can administer their medications and take them for walks and just love on them. Being a pet owner I would have to say pet care is involved in my daily routines. Keeping litter boxes clean and on top time feedings. I would prefer caring from clients house if overnights are required so as to not disrupt my kitties. I am available for any of your needs

About: For over 5 years, I have lived in a home with five large dogs, gaining extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Growing up on a farm where my parents rescued various animals, I developed a deep understanding of animal care. I am skilled in feeding routines, administering medications, giving baths, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing coats. I treat every pet I care for as a member of my own family, recognizing their unique personalities and ensuring their individual needs are fully met. Whatever your pet requires, I provide it with confidence, compassion, and dedication. I care for your pets as if they were part of my own family. I understand that each pet has unique personalities and specific needs, and I genuinely appreciate those differences. Whatever your pet requires, I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, personalized care. This is my only job currently making me more available then most people! I know how important your pets are, I will treat every dog in my care with kindness, patience, and respect. While staying in my home, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I will follow their usual feeding and care routine, closely monitor their well-being, and communicate regularly with their owner so they can feel confident their dog is happy and well cared for.

About: I moved from San Diego 6-1/2 years ago where, in addition to being a realtor, I ran a very successful high-end pet sitting business. While there, I enjoyed a very loyal client base and was lauded for my dependability and genuine love for the animals in my care. My clients and their pets, quite literally, became like family to me. I look forward to developing similar relationships with pets and their owners here in Coeur d'Alene. Rest assured that I am able to provide many references and look forward to caring for your pets as though they were my own. I hope to obtain my real estate license here in Idaho and, as was the case in San Diego, I would be working from home. Additionally, I have a 21-year old daughter who loves animals as much as I do and who is taking on-line college courses and is home much of the time. In other words, someone is almost always home. I may also make visits to animals during the day if my schedule allows. I am very flexible re scheduling of pet visits and often take last minute requests for pet care. We live in a comfortable home with a fenced yard, however, I do not leave pets alone in the yard without supervision, and I enjoy taking walks with dogs. We have a 10-year old Border Collie named Macy who is very sweet and used to sharing our love with other dogs. She gets along with all sizes, ages and types of dogs and is used to visitors. I will generally be working from home and have a 21-year old daughter who loves animals and who will be in and out and with whom I can coordinate schedules. I work from home and go out only for short periods to do errands, so canine guests are never left alone for long periods of time. They are always supervised when they are in the backyard. I live in a comfortable home with a fenced yard. I have a very sweet 13-year old Border Collie who is used to welcoming our furry boarders.

About: I have years of experience with horses, dogs, and cats. I have always had pets growing up, from small mutts to large high drive German Shepherds (currently have them!). I have knowledge of most breeds and their traits, which I believe helps you understand the pet itself. I have worked as an equine veterinary technician before for 2 years, which has exposed me to many different types of pets, big and small! I currently am self employed and run my own business. I enjoy going on walks and figured why not get a new buddy to go with me! I love animals and would much prefer hanging out with your cat, or dog than anything else really. I'll alway make time to pet that dog! (or cat, we don't play favorites. But we all know cats decide when they want to be pet. ;) ) I always put safety and comfort first. I follow each pet’s routine so they feel at ease, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep their space calm and secure. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis!💞☺️👋🏼 I have always loved and had a connection with all types of animals and joined Rover in the summer of 2022 to fill some of my time, I took a short break but now am back to sitting in CoeurdAlene, Idaho to fill some of my free time!☺️🐾 Before I found out I didn’t quite have the stomach for it and actually explored the career, I always wanted to be a veterinarian so I could get to work with animals! Since I couldn’t handle the messy medical parts now I love to sit + walk the fur-babies, take them to the park, and give lots of snuggles + treats!🥰 I’ve took care of pets since I was little and our animals had multiple litters of puppies and kittens as well so I’ve got to take care of little fur babies too along with the experience I’ve gained through Rover❤️ My mom and I ran a pet sitting page through Thumbtack in 2014 for a few years that was super similar to Rover and we were voted a top sitter under ItsRainingCats&Dogs<3 I love getting to feel like I’m helping a family and pet stay close while they are apart, while I’ve done pet sitting I’ve worked with elderly, blind, deaf, and other disabilities that needed help with some extra things.❤️ I like to make sure the animal always feels as comfortable as it can if staying in my home so let me know any special needs and I will always send pictures!😊 I’ve also given medications before if your animal needs to take them while being watched just as long as it’s pills or oral, I’ve never administered a shot.❤️ I have a small lab retriever mix who is full of energy when he wants to be and has never not wanted to introduce himself to the others, he is about 20 lbs and going on 8!😊🐾 He also LOVES to get out of the house and go on car rides + swimming so as long as it’s okay with you and your pet wants to, they can come on the adventures as well!🥰 I’m currently finishing some school online and work on jewelry for my Etsy shop in the daytime so I am almost always home during the week and usually just run quick errands throughout the weekends so I’ll always be back to check on the pets if I go anywhere as long as they work well being left alone, if not can make arrangements☺️ I have a large grassy field I let them use the bathroom every 1 -2 hours and always watch over them while they eat just in case anything were to happen. If you’re furbaby gives you a hard time in the bath or you’ve noticed they’ve been getting a little stinky, I don’t mind sitting in there with them and getting wet. If they get anxiety from baths I can bring treats and help them stay calm.❤️ We have some oatmeal soap for dry + sensitive skin and soft bristle brushes as well as nail clippers if you notice they need theirs done I have been clipping my dogs for a long time😊 I love to get outside myself so if your dog likes to go to the dog park or on walks we’ll be besties🥰🐾 Me and Winston go swimming often as well in the warmer months! I always will supervise feeding times or manage if pets need to eat separately, I let the babies out and pick up if the owner wants me to keep the yard clean, watch to make sure no doors or rooms that are supposed to be kept shut are left open, make sure crates/kennels are secured 100% when leaving, I always will put a leash on when going anywhere with a pet and bring water if it’s hot outside to keep the babies cooled down🫶🏼

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats big and small! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of any basic pet needs: feeding, watering, routine check-ins, and walking. I also have previous experience volunteering with Brevard Zoo where I was trusted and trained to care for a variety of animals. I am a soon to be stay at home (mostly) mom! Looking to bring in some supplemental income doing something I love! I am available weekends and most weekdays! I can easily feed, water, play, and spend time with your fur babies and companions while you are away, whether on vacay or simply working a long shift. I can provide updates daily and assure you all needs will be not only met but exceeded.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over twenty years, and most of my clients have become repeat clients. In that time I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals: dogs, from a Yorkie to a husky/malamute mix, with greyhounds, a bluetick coonhound, Cavaliers, and a corgi along the way; cats; and even flocks of chickens and quail. If it has four legs or fewer, I’m excited to meet it. I’ve cared for puppies, anxious dogs, and seniors living with cancer, kidney failure, and cysts, including dogs who needed daily medications. When you leave, I’m the new variable in your pet’s world, so my goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. That means following your routines, even the silly ones you think nobody else would understand. I once danced around holding a dog because that’s what her mom does every day, and she expected the same from me. Some pets want play, some want snuggles. Most of the time you’ll find us curled up together while I read a book. I offer overnight house sits, including light tidying if you’d like, and drop-in visits with walks, potty breaks, and hang-out time. My schedule is flexible. I’ll drive up to about 20 miles for drop-ins and farther for longer house sits. If you're outside the drop-in radius and want me to house sit, send me a message to see if we can arrange something! Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt: they get love and attention, and you get peace of mind. Pet sitting is my main focus right now, so my schedule is built around the animals I’m caring for. That means I can offer flexible drop-in times, and I’m not dashing off to another job during an overnight stay. Your pet gets my full attention, not whatever’s left over. For your pet: Keeping routines consistent is the best way to reduce stress while you’re away, so I follow your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime as closely as I can. I also stick to your house rules. If your dog isn’t allowed on the couch, they don’t get on the couch with me. That keeps your pet’s behavior on track while you’re gone, so you come home to the same pet you left. For your home: Having someone stay in your house is stressful enough, so I try to leave as little footprint as possible. I clean up after myself, wash and put away my dishes, and strip the bed I slept in before I leave. When you walk in the door, I want it to feel like you just ran to the store and came back. For drop-ins: Your pet gets the same routine-first care, with potty breaks, walks, and real hang-out time, not a rushed in-and-out. I will happily send photo updates of our time together so that you can see how they're doing while you're away if you like!

About: I love animals, big and small but I know sometimes we can’t take them everyone we go so it’s a plus to have someone who will take care of them like their own. Honesty, respect, communication is what I’m all about. Looking for short term or long term jobs! Won’t be working as I will be studying for boards exams, and looking to make some extra money! My dog currently lives with my parents as I’m a full time student. I’ll go pick him up on weekends, take him to the dog park, on a hike or just to hang out at my place. Depending on your needs for your dog, I’m game for it all!

Just got to meet Christy for the first time yesterday, as my dog and I are new to town. She connected right away with him, and it's very clear that she's experienced, compassionate, and very tuned into dogs, especially senior ones like mine. The trust factor for me is crucial for a pet sitter, and Christy established it right away. Looking forward to working with her going forward - thanks so much, Christy!

So helpful with my pup and me! My GSP is 18 months old and has been attacked by other dogs four times since she was about eight months old, so she’s highly reactive at this stage. Working on lessening the fear and reactivity and helping me understand what to also do is so appreciated!! Thank you for your time and your help! 🙏

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gibbs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gibbs is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gibbs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Gibbs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gibbs after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gibbs. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
