“Jennifer & Jason took amazing care of our big rottie while we were away for the weekend. They did a great job building trust with him and even brought in trash cans and our mail when they came by. We received so many pics and updates which was also great. Will definitely be using them in the future!”

“Varsha was amazing. We and our 2 cats connected with her immediately at our Meet and Greet. We ended up chatting for almost 2 hours! She’s so easy to talk with and is so knowledgeable about cats. Our girls immediately liked her and kept asking for pets and attention. Varsha followed our feeding instructions perfectly and was on time for every visit. She sent lots of pictures and was able to navigate the security system at our complex without any issues. Best of all, our cats were well fed and seemed calm and content even though we were gone for 4 days. We will definitely connect with Varsha the next time we need to travel.”

“We are so thankful to Mackenzie for the wonderful care she gave Pebbles and Bear! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We were especially happy to hear that they finally got more comfortable and used to Mackenzie. We also really appreciated getting to know Mackenzie along the way. We got back home yesterday, and both Pebbles and Bear were happy to see us—which made us happy too! I always hate having to leave them for that long, so knowing they were well cared for made the trip much easier. Thank you again, Mackenzie, for taking such great care of our fur babies. We truly appreciate you and look forward to staying in touch!”

This was my first time using this app and I am beyond greatful for how much love & care she showed my pups while I was out of town. 1000000% recommend her to care for your fur babies. ❤️❤️”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong love for animals, my hands-on experience, and my ability to care for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments! 🐾❤️ I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. Since I was 14, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and working at doggy daycare facilities. During my time at doggy daycares, I’ve cared for everything from large Great Danes and energetic Pit Bull mixes to tiny pups with big personalities! These experiences have taught me how to understand different behaviors, recognize body language, and provide safe, attentive care. I’m also very comfortable caring for multiple animals at once! Whether you have several dogs, multiple cats, or a household with both, I’m happy to help. My doggy daycare experience has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while making sure every animal receives the individual attention, patience, and love they deserve. I also have a special love for cats, especially those who may be shy, fearful, independent, or a little temperamental! Growing up, I’ve helped feral cats gradually become comfortable living indoors as loving house cats. Through those experiences, I’ve learned that earning an animal’s trust takes time, consistency, kindness, and patience. If your kitty is a little feisty, nervous around strangers, or prefers their personal space, that’s perfectly okay! I understand how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. The same goes for dogs who may be anxious, energetic, or need a little extra reassurance. I believe what truly makes me different is that I don’t expect every animal to behave the same way. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, dog walking, playtime, litter box cleaning and maintenance, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I also offer house-sitting services, so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment while I make sure your home is respected, tidy, and well cared for. Above all, I’m reliable, dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether you have one cuddly kitty, a house full of energetic pups, or a mix of furry personalities, I’ll do my very best to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat them with the same kindness, patience, and love that I give my own! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently attending school online, which gives me flexibility with my schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs! I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! 💖 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always do my best to follow their usual schedule, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or plenty of cuddles! I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will make sure everything stays clean, tidy, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your beloved pets and your home. Communication is extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages throughout my visits so you can see how your furry family members are doing. Whether they’re enjoying a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or relaxing at home, I want you to feel reassured knowing they’re happy and receiving plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable, and dependable hands! 🐶🐱❤️

About: I love taking care of animals. I know taking care of pets and balancing a job can be hard, so I’m happy to help. I’m currently in school and have lots of time to spend with your pets! I also do not have a pet of my own so I’m excited to get my fulfillment of all this doggie love from all of you!! I will be working part time and in school, so I have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks or even watch them for a weekend get away! I will make sure to maintain your regular schedule and follow all instructions you have for the care of your pet. I will pour all my love into the care of your animal.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and can’t remember a time when pets weren’t part of my family! ❤️ I currently have three very spoiled four-legged children of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your babies are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, fish, and pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies—including puppy training and reinforcing good habits—to senior pets who may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. 🐾 Whether your pet needs walks and playtime, snuggles and companionship, or simply a dependable person to love on them while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own! My two-legged children are grown and independent, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your four-legged ones! 🐾 My schedule allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because I know consistency helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and lots of love are always my priorities! 🐾 I care for every pet the same way I care for my own—with plenty of attention, affection, patience, and respect for their individual needs and routines. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and making sure pets are never put in an unsafe situation. I also know that every animal is different. Some want to play and be your best friend immediately, while others need a little time and space to feel comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s lead and do everything I can to create a calm, happy, and healthy environment while you’re away. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and pictures so you know your babies are safe and being well loved! ❤️

About: I have my own love for animals for a while, caring for animals and understanding their different behaviors, I have taken care of horse and donkeys from rehabilitation, I’ve had my cat, Boots, for 4 years, so I’ve learned how to read cat behavior and understand that cats can be more sensitive and harder to read than dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already care for my own cat, Boots, every day. I make time for feeding, cleaning, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets by ensuring they are safe and comfortable. I adhere to the routine that the owner provides. While I am in a client’s home, I respect their space. I make certain the pets are in a tidy environment. I observe the pets carefully to understand their behavior and needs. This allows me to provide a safe and secure environment.

I will definitely be booking him again and I’m so grateful for the relief that he brought me on my trip during the holidays.”

We’re happy to have Nicole return for the second time this weekend! She is extremely punctual, trustworthy, and communicative. We received a ton of great photos and we enjoyed looking at all of them! She would update or question if something felt abnormal with the animals to ensure nothing was wrong which was appreciated! We were able to step away for the weekend in peace knowing we left our two cats in her care. We will feel comfortable leaving again knowing we can count on someone like Nicole! We can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thank you Nicole!

Lauren was absolutely amazing! She cared for my three cats every day for two weeks while I was out of the country, and I truly felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She was incredibly attentive by feeding them, playing with them every day, and consistently sending me photos and updates so I always knew how they were doing. She also went above and beyond the basic visits. Since I was away for so long, she was thoughtful about things like the temperature inside the house, taking out the trash, and making sure the litter and home stayed clean and fresh. It also seemed like she often stayed beyond the scheduled 30 minutes just to give the cats extra attention, which I really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire trip, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about my cats and their wellbeing. Having someone that reliable and attentive made being away from them for two weeks so much easier. I would absolutely hire Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Gibson Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
