“Shawnee stayed with Josey while I went out of town for a night. She was very easy to work with and took good care of my baby. She sent pictures and communicated well.”
“Shannon was fantastic! I’m so glad we got a chance to work with her. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time (slightly early actually) had a wonderful attitude and gave Jax lots of love and exercise while we were gone. He was pooped when we got home! I would highly recommend working with Shannon if you need a pet sitter.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took the very best care of our four fur babies. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in good hands. She treated them like they were her own, giving them so much love, attention, and care while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We came home to four happy, well-loved pets and a home that was just as we left it. I honestly don’t think they missed us at all! Elizabeth went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional with animals, Elizabeth is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 12. In their older years, I had experience giving them their medications and taking gentle care of them on walks and at home. I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends and will treat your pets as my own! During the year I teach middle school music, but I’m completely free for the summer! I have plenty of time to look after your pets. I can administer medications, go on walks, give baths, and take great care of your pets. I’ll make sure to spend the time they need with them to keep them happy.
“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”
“Kaylee was amazing and our dogs abolutely love her to death. She really showed them so much love and affection they were sad to see her leave and keep looking for her to play. She is awesome and really makes your away time less stressful when you see your animals happier than when you are home LOL! Our pups consider her part of their pack now, and she left our house immaculate and followed all the instructions. Our Rotty had a ear infection and her skill in helping him be comfortable was very reissuring and she knew exactly what to do. We love the way she cared for them and we will be inviting her back for our next trips and hope she never leaves Rover! Thank you Kaylee for being so special.”
“Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.”
“Jordyn was great! She staying at my place and watched my two dogs while I was on a work trip. She was easy to communicate with and sent pics of my boys throughout her time with them. I will definitely be booking with Jordyn again! Thanks Jordyn.”
“Christina was great with our dog and cat. She kept to their schedules and stayed at our place for several nights. You couldn't even tell she had been here. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
“Rocky was amazing with my slightly anxious doodle. I asked for a meet and greet beforehand and Alfie fell in love with her. We went over all of Alfie’s needs and she asked questions for further clarification. Rocky was on time and provided updates through the app throughout the evening. I will definitely book Rocky again should the need arise.”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life, but I have the most experience caring for cats, dogs, and rodents. I also have some experience caring for older pets, including giving oral and topical medications as needed. I can also follow unique dietary needs as required. The safety and comfort of your pets, and your peace of mind, are my top priorities. I recently completed the Disney College Program and just started working part time at Epic Universe! When I’m not making epic memories for families, I would be more than happy to help you take care of your furbabies. I will diligently follow all instructions provided. Please let me know about your pet’s preferences (favorite toys, treats, etc) as well as any dietary restrictions, allergies, and medications.
About: We have a large fenced in yard. I love animals. I have taken care of dogs all my life. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies. Let me spoil yours. I do accept dogs that are not fixed on a case by case basis. If they mark in my house I will charge a cleaning fee. So please be aware of this. I work from home 100%. Your fur babies will have constant supervision and care. Whether it be for daycare, potty breaks or a week at a time. I do request meet and greets prior to confirming bookings to assure it is safe for your fur babies and mine. TIP do not book with anyone who doesn’t do one. Not safe for all parties. I have a fenced in large yard where they can run around and play. I have a small and medium sized dog that will keep them company. They will get spoiled like they were at home and have all the attention needed. Frequent potty breaks will be offered.

I have nothing but good things to say about Erika. I booked with her at the last minute (after my original sitter canceled) and I am so grateful I did! Erika was very communicative, responsive, and took great care of my girl while I was away across the country. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures - capturing some of my now favorite photos of her. Erika's schedule was flexible enough to extend the stay another night after my flight was canceled. When I returned, I could tell my girl was happy, healthy, and well taken care of, as well as my home. I look forward to booking with her in the future. Thank you, Erika!

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 Gibsonia 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 Gibsonia 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 Gibsonia 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.
