“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and have also helped neighbors by walking, feeding, and looking after their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard, and morning and evening walks are already part of my routine—I’d be happy to have your dog join me! I also spend time in my garden each day, so dogs can enjoy the yard and keep me company while I’m outside. Our home is active, loving, and a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of family life. Safety and trust are very important to me. Before booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions. In my home, dogs receive plenty of attention and supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced yard. Gates are always kept securely closed, and introductions to my children are calm and supervised so everyone feels comfortable. I follow each owner’s directions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left secure and just as I found it. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Arielle was amazing with my boys. I received pictures and communication on a regular basis. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be contacting her again.”
“Super awesome family, they loved Luna and took amazing care of her. Loved all the update pictures they send. Really appreciate the flexibility and fast booking. Your family and pups ate amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ania was the sweetest! She was so super caring and patient with Dexter. We got daily updates on how he was doing. Our dog made himself right at home with her and so glad she provided exceptional care while we were away!”
“Garrett always takes such great care of Maggie and she really enjoys playing with his Maggie and Luna while she's there! Garrett always sends me an update during her stay to let me know how much fun Maggie's having & it's really her favorite place to be! Thanks again, Garrett!”
“Laura and Martha were wonderful for our little senior fur baby, Penny. They were kind and patient to meet with us ahead of time and make sure it would be a good fit. And they took amazing care of her for the long visit to include her special food needs and medication as well as treats, walks, and love. Every day I received photos and videos so I was able to see that Penny was doing just fine without momma. And I am grateful to have been able to focus on the purposes of my trip and did not have to worry about my fur baby while I was gone. Thank you to their household for taking such good care of Penny for us!”

“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“Jessica and her beautiful fur babies made my little guy feel right at home. I received pictures of Oliver playing and going on an early morning walk. I felt completely relax while away knowing that she was with a loving and caring person. As always, he came home and played a little bit and then on to sleep! Will definitely use her again’ ☺️☺️☺️”
“Danielle watched my dog for a couple of nights and made the entire process comfortable for me and him, it was my first time leaving my dog without a family member and I was super nervous, she made sure to always communicate, she sent pictures while I was away and even accommodated him when he wouldn’t eat his food, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter as she took care of him like her own! Thank you Danielle!!”
“Haley and Michael were great hosts for our Stellie Girl! When our plans suddenly changed, they were super flexible and moved our booking without hesitation!

Victor and Tracy were very attentive and communicated with me about my babies everyday. I got videos and photos and could see how much my dogs enjoyed their time running around and playing everyday. Will definitely rebook with them and highly recommend to anyone wanting the best for their pups
Malik was incredibly kind and comforting to both my Koko and me. This was our first time doing boarding, and being apart wasn’t easy. Koko is only one year old. We met two days beforehand so, Koko could get familiar with him. Malik made sure he felt safe from the very beginning. He took wonderful care of my boy and kept me updated with messages and photos. Even checked in about how to soothe Koko during a thunderstorm. His communication and genuine care meant so much to me. Leaving your puppy with someone is never simple, but Malik is more than a sitter—he’s someone you can trust and I highly recommend him. Thank you!
Luana was fantastic with my Golden Retriever Brady! Brady spent a week with Luana in her home when I was recovering from a major surgical operation. Luana kept in contact daily with pictures and videos. She is a very caring person overall and is a perfect dog sitter! She really loves dogs and it shows! She is very professional, follows all instructions regarding care and is very communicative. She is also just a very sweet and caring human being. Luana will be my only dog sitter from now on. I highly recommend Luana

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Gibsonton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gibsonton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gibsonton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gibsonton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Gibsonton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
