About: I am a school counselor, a mom, an adventurer, and a huge animal lover! 🐾❤️ I grew up with 6 shih tzus, 5 ferrets, 2 parakeets, and a mink. My pets were a part of our family and were always well cared for. I personally have owned a pit bull, a husky malamute mix, a german short hair, a terrier, a ferret, 4 cows, 4 ducks, 3 pigs, and 12 chickens. I have experience caring for animals of all ages. I enjoy going for walks and hikes and am looking forward to having some pet pals to tag along. I am patient, flexible, and open to new opportunities to bond with different types of pets. I'm available most weekends and holiday breaks. For longer durations please send me a message and I'll try my best to work with your schedule. I love the outdoors and would love to take your pet on some short hikes around local parks with your permission of course. When doing drop ins and walking your pet I am always happy to play fetch, tug of war, get in all the snuggles, and soak up all the fun.
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
About: What sets me apart is that I have cared for pets my entire life and genuinely treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I am experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders when needed. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have had pets my entire life. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, so I am available before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Evenings and weekends allow me to spend additional quality time with pets and ensure they stay comfortable and happy. I enjoy maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. Safety and trust are very important to me. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Kristen treated our dogs and home like her own. We received regular updates that included smiling dog pictures. The dogs got to do their favorite activates, chasing a ball, having a nice brushing and then relaxed in the evening knowing someone was there for them., which of course allowed us to not worry about them. Kristen will be our go to when we have to be out of town! Thank you Kristen! Dave and Crystal”
About: I've grown up with dogs in the home and currently have a short haired border collie and a mini golden doodle. I'm an avid walker so I'll be sure to take your pup on longs walks that enhance their health and mood! I also have experience caring for small animals like hamsters and gerbils. While I've never had a cat, I get along with them quite well and have cared for them many times for freinds and family that go out of town. I have a very flexible schedule, with Sunday being the only day I prefer to not work, but am willing to on occasion. My only other schedule restriction is the evenings around dinner time, so 4-6pm ish, I try to do dinner with my partner. I'm able to work early mornings or late evenings, whatever suits you and your pups needs! I'll do my best to follow whatever routines your dog is used to, and if I'm caring for them in your home I'll do so while maintaining respect for your space and privacy. If there are any accidents or messes, I'll be sure to clean them up and notify you if there's any unusual pup behavior or property damage.
“Excellent service, as usual. I highly recommend Gabby & Kade. We've used them several times to housesit and care for our dogs while we went on vacation. They will care for your dogs like their own and keep your house clean and tidy.”
“Bella did a great job with our two older dogs. One can be hard to crack his shell, and they were buddies by the end of their time. She sent plenty of pictures and is a good communicator. She left our house clean. All of it was very much appreciated!”
“Shannon was so loving toward our pets. When we came home, both the dogs seemed so very happy. We are so very grateful for Shannon taking such amazing care of our dogs and cat while we were away.”
“Stephanie is great with communication about our cats. Both our cats immediately went to her at greeting. We will have Stephanie watch our four-legged family again! She is genuine, honest and trustworthy.”
“We tried Angelina for the first time with our 3 corgis and she did a fantastic job. She stayed over night at our house and took great care of 3 high maintenance dogs. She is supper reliable and we will definitely be using her again in the near future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gibbs
Gabby & Kade were wonderful. They took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation. They gave us puppy updates 3x per day, and you could tell he was happy and well cared for. The house was very clean when we returned home and they just did an overall excellent job. Thank you both!
There is not enough words to describe Emilyanne. She has a great passion for her work and how well she cares for her clients home and pets. She is a true professional and gave us great piece of mind that our dogs were well cared for. The daily updates and photos allowed us to enjoy our time away even more. We will be using her again and highly recommend her.
Angelina was wonderful, she went above and beyond and we would welcome her back anytime! She took pictures and sent updates, sent great communication, and even washed the bedding and left me some plants from her plant collection! We really enjoyed her and her love for dogs.
Josh was fantastic. I got caught up in winter travel and was late getting back. He was very understanding and flexible which helped immensely with my stress. The pets were well cared for and the house looked great. I got pictures and updates everyday and it was clear the dog was getting his exercise! Would highly recommend!
We are so blessed to have found Rose to care for both of our special needs kitties. She provided exemplary care for them and our home while we were away for a week. Whatever your fur babies unique needs for care she will meet and exceed it, she is a gem. We love Rose!
Maia took great care of my cat Sammy and my house. It's my first time ever hiring someone I don't know personally so it was stressful for me before I left on my trip. But I was happy I chose Maia for the job, now I know who to hire in the future :) Sammy seemed right at home with her and was his old self when I got back two weeks later. Maia kept in touch with me and sent pictures and updates, she also answered quickly if I had any questions or concerns.
Megan was terrific. We came home from a 10 day trip and everything looked great when we got back and our dog was happy and well cared for. Megan was also very responsive to messages and even sent us photos of our dog when we checked in. We will definitely ask her again.
Rainie house sat for me with my 2 kittens, she took better care of them than even I would! I could see from all of the pictures she sent, my cats were happy and comfortable immediately with her. Rainie is a true animal lover and i could see she loved my cats as if they were her own! And not only did my cats not miss me at all because of all the attention they got with Rainie, I also came home to a house cleaned way better than I clean it! 1000/10 recommend Rainie. So happy I found her!
I highly recommend Abraham for petsitting. He took care of my senior dog for several days at my home. Abraham sent photos and updates throughout the day and was quick to respond to my texts. My dog has mobility issues and requires medication several times per day. Abraham was really attentive to the special needs of my older dog. My house and my dog were very well cared for while I was out of town. I will definitely ask Abraham to dog sit again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gibbs on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 717 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gibbs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gibbs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gibbs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Gibbs 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!
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 sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
