No kids they’ve all grown up. Just me at home.

Cassandra was absolutely amazing with Oakley! As a dog mom, leaving my baby with someone else can be stressful, but Cassandra made the entire experience so reassuring. She kept me in the loop throughout Oakley’s stay by sending regular photos and videos, which I really appreciated because I could see how she was doing and know she was happy and well cared for. Oakley also had the best time playing with Cassandra’s pup, Cayenne, which made me so happy to see! 🐶💕 It was wonderful knowing she had a little friend to play with and wasn’t just being cared for, but was genuinely enjoying herself. Cassandra’s communication was great, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Oakley was in such loving hands. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave my girl. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Cassandra, for taking such wonderful care of Oakley! 💕🐾
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!
Olivia was incredibly communicative and took such good care of our dogs. Our dogs looked like they were having a blast at her place. Our trip went south when our flight home was delayed a whole day, however, Olivia had the flexibility to keep our boys for another night. We are forever grateful. Highly recommend Olivia!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gibsonton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,549 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gibsonton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
