“quanece and malik were amazing !! this is my first time hiring a rover and they were incredibly thorough, communicative, and easy to work with. i don't love leaving my animals but when i have to, they'll be the first people i reach out to :)”
“Olivia was wonderful with our fur baby, Penny (a high energy, sometimes bitey Jack Russell Terrier). Olivia checked in on, feed and walked Penny a Thursday when we were gone for most of the day and stayed in our home overnight from Saturday to Sunday when we were away. She checked in with us and sent pictures often. Penny was happy and relaxed when we came home. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Olivia and would definitely book her again. 😀”
“I was only away for the better part of two days and one night but really appreciated that Chris texted updates and sent lots of pictures letting me know my sweeties were safe and happy. She even washed the sheets and remade her bed before she left!”
“Rhonda is great with our dog Finn, he can be energetic and Rhonda handled it great. She communicated well- sent pics and gave updates throughout the stay! I’d highly recommend to anyone who wants to know their dog is being given all the attention and care!”
“Kai and Devon were great pet sitters for us during the week that we were away on vacation! They communicated well with us and provided updates on how our pets were doing. They kept our house clean and even took the time to wash sheets, towels, and blankets before they left. Overall they did a great job for us and we would definitely book them again!”
“Heather was amazing and took great care of our babies, you can tell she loves animals! I also received beautiful pictures from her throughout my vacation and felt relaxed knowing they were in good hands!”
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“Brianna and Nicholas took such amazing care of our senior fur baby. My partner and I work from home so our dog Lily is accustomed to a high level of attention. In addition our Lily has occasional seizures, Brianna and Nicholas navigated these hurdles with ease, patience and warmth. We received daily updates and adorable pics of the fun they were having. Lily was so calm and happy upon our return, like we hadn’t left. Our home was spotless, the only sign they were here was a beautiful drawing of Lily left for us. Highly recommend!!!’”
“Deanna was great! Responsive and took great care of our house, puppy, and two cats while we truly got to enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond with what we asked her to do and will absolutely use her again for our next trip!”
“Nicole was very nice and easy to talk to when I met her. The dogs were very comfortable being around her upon introduction. They were content and happy when I returned from my trip. They didn’t seem stressed in the least, which tells me she took excellent care of them. The house was treated with care too. I will definitely ask her to stay with my dogs again.”
“We felt at ease with leaving Zahira with our anxious boy. She got here early to meet him and to know about the house. She was professional and provided great care for Zorro. Extremely happy and Zorro loved her. Thank you so much.”
“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”
About: Hi!! I am an animal lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog and cat. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you are away. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. If you need to extend the days, it would not be an inconvenience. I am available for house sitting only and I am not able to board pets in my own home. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them with the same love and attention I give my own
“Madison!!! Can’t say enough great things about her! She was the first person I hired off of this site and she was absolutely awesome! Everything went smoothly! She was so good to my pets and I felt so safe having her stay in our home. She’s very down to earth and you can tell she loves animals. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER to literally anyone and everyone!!”
“Morgan was a great pet sitter. My dog can be very shy and warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and helpful. My pets were well cared for by her, and I will definitely use her services again when I need an overnight sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gibbstown is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

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 Gibbstown 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 Gibbstown 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
