“Courtney did a great job taking care of my dog, Roxi. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and I could tell Roxy was well cared for while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Courtney again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

“I am so grateful to have found Lindsay. She's a natural with dogs -- relaxed, confident, loving, friendly and quite literally gets down on their level to connect. She was more than willing to come over for a meet & greet with our dog to help ease any concerns prior to her first booking. I loved her personality and level of customer service and her communication is exceptional. She's very punctual with her visits but also remains flexible knowing changes are sometimes needed. I look forward to continuing to work with Lindsay moving forward.”

“Whitney was very communicative and prompt. She responded with very short notice to us in a “we need to leave town for a funeral and have nobody to care for our cat and dog” situation. She met with us before leaving to get instructions and meet our pets, and totally removed this as a stressor during our time of need. Very grateful, and highly recommend her!”

“We're behind thrilled with Mackenzie! She really showed great love and outstanding care for our dog and 3 cats and was very descriptive in her reports while we were away for the weekend. By far, she has been the best pet sitter we've ever had. We will continue to request her even when we aren't traveling because all of our furkids absolutely love her! This was a great experience and we knew from the “get go” upon meeting her, that our furkids were in excellent hands. Thank you Mackenzie!”

About: I’ve always been drawn to animals and getting to be around them is such a blessing. I’ve been around all sorts of animals growing up having: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even sharks at one point! I’ve always taken pride in caring for these pets and making sure they’re enjoying life and being taken care of properly. I just recently graduated from college and have a lot of free time. I am available all day, every day, and would love to spend my time with your furry friends! I am able to attend to any needs that the animals provider may ask and will happily and joyfully take care of your fur babies!

About: I have been dog sitting off n on since I was 13 years old. I have taken care of dogs as young as 1 years old up to 14 years old. I also have experience with giving medication if your doggy needs it! I currently work full time. I work the midnight shift (11pm-7am) So I'm pretty free thru out the day. 🙂 My sleep schedule is crazy so I don't mind coming multiple times a day! So whatever you need me to do in your home for your fur baby! I will do! If that is putting them in a crate, leaving them in a specific spot in the house, playing in the backyard. Whatever routine you have for them I will do!

About: I’m a lover of dogs who has been caring for and training dogs for 10 years. My experience came from dogs of my own along with dogs of friends and family members. In the past I have ventured into breeding and training. I currently have one dog name Princess who is on a raw food diet due to some digestive health issues. Princess is extremely calm and playful and loves a bunch of affective and her is daily as will your pup. My wife and daughter are very loving and go on family walks around our subdivision daily and can’t wait to include your pup into our routine. We are a extremely clean and tidy family so do not expect to get your pup back smelling bad or looking a mess. I currently work remotely so there is always time to go for walks during the day as it is necessary to get some sunshine and exercise for the pets and for me to get away from the computer screen. Please let me know what works best for you and what accommodations are needed for your pet and I will make sure it is taken care of. I have a comfortable home and an extremely friendly and playful dog name Princess. I have a nice size backyard in a great neighborhood to take walks in. I am huge with communication as it is important for you to know that the furry member of your family is good and safe while in my care. I can send pictures and text message updates if desired and I am also accepting of calls to check in.

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso for 14 years and became her primary caretaker during her senior years, giving me firsthand experience caring for an older pup and adapting to her changing needs. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, including a Schnauzer/Poodle mix and a young cat with medical needs. While fostering, I’ve administered medication, supported recovery, and adapted enrichment activities to keep pets comfortable and engaged throughout different stages of healing. I also have volunteer experience caring for cats and understand the importance of reading an animal’s body language and respecting their boundaries. I’m happy to give an outgoing pet plenty of attention and affection, but I’m equally comfortable giving a shy or cautious pet the space and patience they need to feel safe around me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, as well as cats, puppies, and senior pets. Above all, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, including their normal feeding, potty, walking, playtime, and medication schedules. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to body language, respect boundaries, and never force interaction with a pet who needs some space or time to warm up. I’ll keep their environment clean and tidy, make sure they have fresh food and water as instructed, and provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet company based on what they enjoy. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed.

I can confidently say your pet will be cared for and loved with me in their care! I currently work from home so I am more than flexible to pet sit from any client’s home! Bathroom breaks for pets are also available in my time range! I always ensure to follow the owner’s bathroom breaks schedule, feeding schedules and walking times! I believe keeping the owner in the loop is vital so I also do so whenever feeding is done, walking is down and bathroom breaks are done!

Susanne was wonderful with our dogs and took such great care of them this week. She was communicative, helpful, and incredibly thoughtful. She even cleaned up after one of our dogs got sick right before she arrived, which we really appreciated. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We’re very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Gibson Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 7,504 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gibson Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gibson Island. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
