“Isabelle watched our little senior dog and our home for over a week. She took great care of him and spoiled him every day. She is responsible and very communicative. I look forward to hiring her again. Our dog Louie would be mad if she didn't come back!”
“If I could give Katy 10 stars, I would! I’m very particular about who I trust with my dogs, but she is officially a miracle worker. Not only were my dogs clearly pampered and happy, but she went totally above and beyond by cleaning my house, something I didn't even request! Coming home to happy pups and a clean home was the best gift ever. She is professional, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Already booked her for my next trip in May :)”
“Kaylah is an absolute gem! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive from start to finish. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and took such wonderful care of both our dog and cat while we were away. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the weekend. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, which made being away completely stress-free. It’s clear that Kaylah genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. We came home to two very happy pets and a beautifully cared-for house. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Mary went above and beyond. We are recent empty nesters so this was a first time for me, leaving my dog and house in the care of a stranger, and it couldn’t have gone better. I told her upfront that over-communication was probably going to work best for me and she made sure I always knew how Duke was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my home and Duke were being well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Truly grateful to have found someone I can call on again on our next travel.”
“Kai and Devon did a great job with housesitting and dog care for our 2 labs! We came home to an immaculately clean house and two happy dogs. They are great at communicating promptly and sending pictures and updates. We appreciate their good care of our dogs and our home!”
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
“Quanece was great with my 4 month old puppy, J’Rome! She’s patient and well experienced. She sent lots of updates and picture/videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a love for dogs since I was little, one of my first books that I read as a child was about dogs, and have cared for 4 dogs in the last 11 years. I had a Jack Russell terrier, Yorkshire terrier & toy poodle, who have passed in their old age. I currently have an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is 2. My dogs, as well as other dogs, are well behaved around me and love being in my presence. I am available any day of the week, so availability is never an issue. I love caring for dogs & playing with dogs as it brings me and the dogs happiness. You will love that I care for the dogs’ health, safety, and happiness.
“Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.”
“I would highly recommend Rhonda! She was incredible with our boys. Very attentive and caring. I also love the communication. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“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!!”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog walker and pet sitter with a year of experience providing loving care for dogs. Most of my experience comes from caring for the pets of friends and family, where I’ve built a reputation for being attentive, dependable, and treating every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I make communication a priority. You can count on me to provide regular updates, respond promptly to messages, and follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My current availability allows me to provide up to three walks per day on weekends, as well as on Mondays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! When I used to sit I would take the dog on a walk before work and one in the evening. I know some dogs need three but I’d only be able to do so on the weekend and Friday and Monday I’d prefer to pet sit in the pup’s home versus mine. I find it makes them less nervous or antsy especially with a new face but would welcome doing it if needed.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
