About: I'm a devoted pet lover and proud companion to two joyful dogs, 1 cat, I understand how deeply our animals shape our lives. I don’t just watch pets. I welcome them into a space filled with warmth, routine, and affection. I treat each animal with the same love and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, seen, and truly at home. At home, pets join my two friendly dogs in a calm, loving space with lots of play and snuggles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and care for them like they’re my own—gentle, present, and always kind. 🐾 At my place, pets hang out with my two sweet dogs in a cozy, calm space full of love. At your place, I stick to their routine and give them the same gentle care I’d want for mine.
“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”
“Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends and family's pets. I have had 10 pets in the past 35 years. I have trained 6 puppies. I have had 4 senior dogs. I am a retired teacher. Other than an occasional routine or exercise, I'm home. I have plenty of time to love and care for one of the most important member of your family. I have a fenced yard and can take on more than one dog from the same family. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate, I will set one up, otherwise I do not crate dogs. Dogs are welcome to sit on the furniture and I have dog stairs.

About: I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, Doge and Percy, and previously cared for my senior cat throughout his long and happy 18-year life. I also had two wonderful dogs, Nala and Jack, who lived to be approximately 15 and 16 years old. Caring for pets from their younger years through their senior years has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, providing medication when instructed, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I will treat your pets like family and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you are away.

I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household routines. I take safety seriously by securing doors, checking food and water, keeping the environment clean, and making sure pets are comfortable before I leave. I respect every client’s home and provide photos and updates after each visit.

We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!
Nakisha was amazing! She was always on time and very dependable. She even stopped by before the scheduled dates to meet the dogs, which gave me peace of mind before my trip. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly without needing to reach out. If you’re going out of town and want someone reliable so you don’t have to worry, Nakisha is the perfect dog walker. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once again, Sherri has taken great care of our dog Pico. Even on short notice, she has been very accommodating. With all of my health issues, it is hard to make plans too far out, so her flexibility has been very valuable to us. Pico seems to like Sherri as well. 💜
Kyra did an amazing job caring for my high energy senior, Zelda while I went away for a few days. She sent update pics and videos each drop in visit she did. Would recommend Kyra 10/10! Very sweet and apparent she is a dog lover like me. Just to give some background, I’ve been a professional dog trainer since 2007 and I’m particular about how my dog is cared for and Kyra met my expectations 😊

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gibsonton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Gibsonton 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gibsonton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
