About: I've loved and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, mine and other people’s too! It started with my childhood German Shepherd, JoJo, who waited at the end of the street every day to run along side the school bus because she knew I was on the that big, yellow, beast. More recently, I loved and cared for my orange and white, Manx cat, Sid, named after Sid Vicious because he was a little vicious when he was a kitten. My experience taking care of other people's dogs began 22 years ago when a co-worker needed help with her Pomeranian when she went on a trip. I dog sat for her several times. When she realized she no longer could keep her Pom, she let me adopt her. For about 4 years, I raised German Shepherds, including ones imported from Germany. During that time, my partner and I also trained German Shepards for a sport called Schutzhund. It's a sport that tests a dog's tracking, obedience and protection skills. I also trained dogs of all breeds and mixed breeds obedience, cute little tricks and manners. You know what I'm taking about with manners! haha jk I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m comfortable taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs; anxious and timid dogs and with administering oral and topical medications and following special instructions and giving extra attention and longer walks if desired. If your dog has a strict routine, you can be at peace knowing I will follow your dog’s routine exactly how he/she is accustomed to it being. If you choose me as your dog sitter, your dog will be showered with love, time and attention. I love taking your dog for walks, playing in the backyard and cuddling on the couch, whatever your pet likes, needs, and enjoys. I am here to help! In addition to taking care of your pets, I am a freelance writer and artist working from home, and I have a very flexible schedule. We can make plans in advance for me to take care of your pet and I can usually be available on short notice. When I'm pet sitting in your home, your pets are my focus, but if I do need to step out for any reason, I'll be sure your pets are safe, happy and your home is secure. I'll leave your pets loved, and your home clean for when you return.
“Very impressed with our first visit from Matt. He was so kind and gentle with our senior dog who is visually impaired and was also able to easily handle our high energy Jack puppy. Looking forward to more visits.”
“Erin was wonderful with my good boy Mr. Bear. She spent extra time with him and worked with the changes I made to the schedule. She is a great photographer too and took amazing photos of my super handsome man. I would 100% hire her again for any petsitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals since I was 10 years old. I have experience walking, boarding , and daily care. I love animals and provide kind and sensitive care . I work from home Monday-Friday and go into the office one day per month. My dog passed away in November 2023 so I would really love to have some dog energy in my life again. I currently work full time from home Monday through Friday. I have flexible time throughout the day to care for animals in my home or in the pet owners home. I have a yard and a nice neighborhood to go on long walks . I can easily store a crate in my home if needed. I can also visit your pet in their home several times a day to provide care or walks.
“Aurelio did an amazing job taking care of my doggie babies . Always kept in touch with me . My dogs looked like they really liked him . I loved his videos .he definitely knows what he is doing and that he has a passion with animals . I will be definitely wanting him to watch my dogs again .”
“Nancy was amazing. She got all the feeding and litter box work done, but she still had time to play with Viggo. I bet Viggo will miss her. Although we are moving in June, we will probably be too far to hire her again, ... sad to say. I am thankful to have found someone as good as Nancy on short notice. I will recommend her to the neighborhood.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I have 3 dogs of my own. All very friendly. Two more matured ladies and one younger with a bit more energy. I also have grooming experience if requested. I work Monday- Friday from 7am-4pm but i am home the rest of the time. I go for walks around the neighborhood, to the Timber creek dog park or even play in the backyard. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of room inside to run and play, and a nice neighborhood to go on walks. Both of my dogs are crated during the day but yours doesn’t need to be. I allow them to roam all day when I’m home and at night.
“My cat can be very skittish around strangers, but Brittany made him feel very at ease from the first time they met. She also took detailed notes about him and his care. She sent some great pics from her first visit and I would be happy to have her watch after him again.”
About: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and in between. Training experience with multiple breeds and will love them as if were my own. Available for any animal, not limited to dogs. I am typically available by appointment as I have a very flexible, work from home career. Occasionally I am free immediately, no harm in asking. I am versatile with any upbringing strategy the owner prefers. If there are specific rules or training methods they are working toward, I will help cross the finish line. If they just want someone to keep their best friend happy and safe, I can do that too.
“Saul was an amazing sitter to our cat, Nacho! We recently moved and forgot to update our address and we didn’t realize it until Saul went to start his visit…and he still went to check in on our cat after that! 😊He provided updates and even vacuumed debris from a mess our cat made. You can tell he truly loves animals by his care and thorough communication.”
About: Experience with caring for and grooming senior pets and kittens. I’m also pretty crafty about getting pets who are reluctant to do it to eat their food/take their meds. Looking for stable work at the moment, in the mean time I’m available for petsitting, housesitting. Can do NY or Philadelphia and most places in between. I’m good at interacting with pets and feeling out how much interaction they want and when to give them space. I try to get creative with playing with them if possible.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!
About: Currently accepting new clients!!! Hello! My name is Khai. I am currently a college student (online - so I am often available) studying Engineering and available for cat sitting. My nickname is Kitty and some of my friends called me "Kitty Khai Khai" since I'm very affectionate with kitties and I happen to get along with shy, anxiety fueled, or aggressive kitties. I'm originally from Myanmar. Back home at my parents', we end up adopting lots of street cats over 20 years since they happened to stop by and end up living at our house. My parents has raised cats like their own grand children, so I grew up nurturing cats including their kitten babies and senior cats. I handle kitties gently with love and great care, and am very attentive to their needs. I understand how cat parents feel while you're away from your cats; I'm here to make sure you could enjoy your trip while knowing your kitties are well cared for and in safe hands. The well being, happiness and comfort of your kitty is my top priority! I hope to adopt my own cat in the city when I finally finished college... but for now I will get some kitty time in watching and caring for yours! :) Also, I am fully vaccinated + booster shot!! I wash hands before feeding/ touching the kitties and wear a mask when pick up/ drop off at my home and in clients' home. Regular check in/ check out time for kitties are after 4 pm, but I am willing to work with you depending on your needs. 😊 I offer boarding at my home and visiting client's home for drop in services. I have no children and no pets at my home. It has been my life long dream to have a kitty hotel where a kitty guest can enjoy their stay with lots of pets and attention from me and have all the cat trees, toys and amenities. When I was in the house buying process, I chose this home specifically, since it’s spacious for kitties to roam around and lots of windows with sunlight where kitties can enjoy watching outside. I have set it up as a kitty hotel where it’s a vacation place for kitties to chill and relax and spend time with me. My home sweet home is located in a cozy neighborhood and completely safe and warm environment for kitties. Kitties are never allowed outdoors.
“I was so grateful to have Quanece drop in on my baby cat, Chucky. She arrived right on time, did a great job with his food and medicine and was very careful and thoughtful about my requests, right down to leaving the lights on for him. She also took the time to meet and go through his care instructions before the visit, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She was super easy to work and communicate with, and sent me pictures of his little greedy begging self. ? I would absolutely recommend Quanece for pet sitting and look forward to booking with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gibbstown
Our large dog leans towards the aggressive side, but Justin seems to have the touch when it comes to animals. Our dog immediately treated him like family from the first meet and greet. Justin's calm demeanor really provided our separation anxiety tendency pup real comfort. I will be going through Justin for every future sit need.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Diane was wonderful! I’m so grateful she came out on Mother’s Day to check on the girls. She was kind, reliable, and made sure they were well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I’d happily book with her again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Gibbstown 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
