“My pup loves Shachel. His happiness when she arrives is the only affirmation I need that I’ve booked the right person. Appreciate her calm demeanor and willingness to follow through on this fussy mom’s many requests. 🩷”
“Thank you for the time attention and walks. You can gave Alani while we were gone. I appreciate the photo updates and some of the silly and funny things she was doing.”
“Monica was truly amazing!! My fur babies loved her and so do we. She was very trustworthy and I felt so comfortable with her staying in our home while we were out of town.....she kept me updated on everything and sent lots of pictures. I will be using her again and again in the future, I would really recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter......you will be happy your did.”
“Angelina was our first in-home dog sitter, and she was awesome. She met our pups in advance and got to know them a bit, and then stayed with them for 5 days. Each day she would send us pics and videos of the happy pups playing and cuddling. She communicated with us throughout our trip and put our minds at ease that our fur babies were in good hands. When we arrived home late, we found a perfectly neat house just as we had left it. Not a single dish in the sink, and she put her sheets and blankets from the guest bedroom in the laundry room hamper. She certainly didn’t need to do that, but it was a nice thoughtful touch that we appreciated. We were very happy with our experience with Angelina. The dogs were even more mellow and even tempered than usual when we walked through the door which is rare for them, which made us feel like they got lots of love and affection while we were gone. She definitely earned 5-Stars!”
“Alani was so relaxed and loved Christy and their walks. I appreciated she cleaned up and washed the sheets on the bed, less work for me. 😊 I would recommend her to anyone.”
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.
“This is our second time using Gabby and Kade as our dog and house sitter. They are extremely good communicator. We feel so comfortable and at ease knowing our doggie is being taking care of so well. They keep with your pets routine. They leave our house sparkling clean. I can’t recommend them enough. You will be in the best hands with Gabby and Kade!”
“Livvi was wonderful! This is the first time we left our pups with someone other than family and Livvi was absolutely amazing. Sent us pictures and updates daily, our dogs are happy and had a great time. Highly recommend!! Thank you!”
“This is the 2nd time we have had Emily watch our pets while we were away, and both of our animals remembered who she was and were so happy to see her again! She also did an amazing job keeping watch on our home while we were away. We love having her over and will definitely be booking for all of our future trips! 😊👍”
“Joshua and his fiancé came to our rescue with last minute request for pet sitting for our dog Bella and our old man kitty Garfield. He came and took care of them, gave Garfield his medications and cared for our fur babies while we were away. Would book him again readily! Thank you!!! 🙏 😊”
“Rebecca was very friendly and informative while watching our little Luka. She kept in touch and followed up on everything. Thank you for watching little luka and for being so flexible!”
“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!”
“Emilyanne is an Amazing asset to Rover, and I'm so glad I found her to handle my pets and household! She is extremely experienced and trustworthy, and I feel confident she can handle any situation that may come up. The effort she put in to teach and interact with my pets and myself was very helpful and above and beyond! Thank you for all that you did! We will absolutely be calling you again!”
“Alexis helped me out and watched Bo for me for 8 straight days. The longest I had ever been away, and she did a great job keeping up informed with how he was doing by messaging and pictures. Bo had a great time playing with her two dogs and was no doubt fun for him. I would not hesitate to ask Alexis to watch Bo again and easily recommend her to others.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 718 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.
