“This was our first pet sit with Shachel and she was SO patient and wonderful with us and our pup, Birdie, as we navigated making our shy dog comfortable with a new person. Birdie warmed up to her very quickly (this alone is due to Shachels’ gentle nature and genuine care) and Shachel followed all care instructions. We plan to book another in home pet sit with her again soon. 🙂”
“Absolutely incredible dog and house sitters! We loved our experience with Kade and Gabby. They sent us regular updates on the dogs multiple times per day. They were also so wonderful in letting us know when a wind storm blew a tree onto our fence. They took extremely good care of our dogs and interacted with them extensively, and they even cleaned the house before they left! Honestly can't say enough good things about them. On top of being highly qualified, they exemplify extreme ownership of what they do!”
“Christy always takes such good care of Olive and Olive loves her! Whenever Christy sits for us, I come back to happy pets and a clean house. Communication is great!”
“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!!! 🙏 😊”
“Aurora was the absolute BEST! My 2 doggos loved her. She was so communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. My dogs were so happy and perfectly taken care of! Would highly recommend her!”
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.
“Alex did a great job caring for our 3 cats, two dogs and our home for our 5 day vacation. Our instructions were followed to a tee and everything was left cleaned and our pets were all happy. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Eva did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our husky and calico. She was very friendly, polite, and cordial in person at our meet and greet and was available via phone/text during our absence for progress updates. We returned to our pets in good nature and our home just like we left it. I would not hesitate to book Eva again for house sitting/pet care! Thank you very much.”
“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”
“Molly was great. She took great care of our dogs. She sent us pictures and communicated throughout the time she was here. She was on time for our meet and greet and she came over right away after we left. We would definitely book her again.”
“Jackie did an excellent job with our senior Lab. He loved her from the moment he met her. She sent us lots of pictures and stayed in communication keeping us posted on all his adventures. At one point my husband said “he is having so much fun he may not want to leave”! Additionally, she did a great job watering all of my plants and vegetables during a hot spell. They all looked better than when we left. We arrived home to a spotless house, a beautiful thank you note, fresh baked cookies and sourdough bread! I would highly recommend Jackie to care of your precious pets!”
“Kate was quick to respond to my inquiry and attentive to the details of taking care of Jack. I appreciated hearing from her right before we left to confirm her stay and the follow up note after we'd returned.”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gibbs is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gibbs
Great experience with Shelley. She was great with communication, reassurance, and consistency. I was very comfortable leaving town with her watching over our pets and home. When we returned, the pets were happy and home was well cared for. Will happily use her services again!
They took great care of our dogs and did an amazing job following all of the instructions we left for them. One of our dogs requires a little extra care and has some specific routines, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was followed so carefully. They were attentive, responsible, and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girls were in good hands and would absolutely trust them to watch them again!
This was our first time having Christy look after our three pups and she was wonderful. She brought them each a little treat bag at the meet and greet and took her time getting to know them. Her communication was great and she sent us lots of photos. House was left clean and tidy. We will definitely be using her again!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gibbs on Rover is $77.98 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 726 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.
