“We are so thankful and appreciate Monika so very much for taking great care of our senior dog while we were away. She showed such compassion and love for Tanner and even introduced him and us to a new way to give him his meds. We can’t thank her enough and will continue to book her for in home care visits when she is available. It is so nice to find someone that’s trustworthy and sincere in what they say and do. Monika is all of that and more. We highly recommend her for in home pet care and can’t express enough our gratitude.”
“Victoria was fantastic to work with. We had a last minute sitter cancel and she accepted our last minute request. Then we had a delayed flight and she stayed an extra night. We received daily updates on our pooch and had no worries about him while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Veronica did an amazing job with our pups. They love her and she gives them lots of love. She allows us to have a great vacation without worrying about our puppies! Thanks Veronica!”
“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”
“Julia and Eric did a fantastic job watching our dogs in our home while we were on a short vacation. They are obviously professional “dog people “ and provided great care for our two dogs and our home while we were gone. They are great communicators and sent tons of photos and videos. We have had hit and miss experiences with some Rover sitters. Julia and Eric are definitely a hit and we would highly recommend their in home services.”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
“Cira stayed at our house an extended period. We had a sick dog during visit and she ensured she was seen by our vet and took care of her meds. She took care of all 3 of our dogs and ensured they were well taken care of!”
“Danielle took excellent care of my pets. Took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the stay. My pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely book with her again”
“Sydney was such a sweet lady & our dogs loved her! She communicates regularly & showed up on time. Everything went very well for our overnight stay & we will definitely use her again!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our anxious old pup and took the time to come meet him beforehand and learn about him. Hoping she’s available to book for our other upcoming travel dates!”
“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
“Cathy is awesome. She house sat over The weekend for my dogs & cared for them like they were her own. She sent regular updates about the boys & left my house nicer than when I left.”
“Erin was incredibly attentive to my dogs and their needs. She was respectful of my home and left everything as she found it. It was a pleasure being able to go on my work trip with the peace of mind that my dogs were being well cared for. She kept me updated on them and even checked in on me and how my trip was going. Very sweet and thoughtful.”
“Kailee was great with our dogs. She followed instructions and took care of our house while we were away. Our dogs loved her. I recommend her for both dog care and house sitting.”
“Zach has consistently done well watching Murphy and caring for the house while we’re gone. Little man is always in a good mood when we return and we see how well he gets along with him.”
“Kaity & Sebastian are wonderful people. I always knew what was going on & they never left me wondering. Such peace of mind knowing our fur baby is being loved 🥰 & cared for like we do. I highly recommend them. The house was also left neat & clean, like I left it. I’m grateful 🙏🏻”
About: For as long as I can remember i’ve been around cats and dogs which has shaped my deep love for animals. My Cocker spaniel and Pitbull were the perfect dogs that taught me so much about caring for animals ❤️. This led me to adopting my now Maltese Shih tzu and another Pitbull who give me endless joy. I am committed to making sure you’re babies are comfortable and safe and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. With 3 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting for both cats and dogs I’m passionate about providing trusted, personalized care. You don’t have to take your beloved pets to an overcrowded facility when they can enjoy the comfort of their own home and feel safe 🏡 I’m am currently working part time which helps me be flexible so i’ll have tons of time to spend with your pets. This includes weekends and holidays so you don’t have to miss out on important events 🥳 When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, or anything that you already do with them to make them most comfortable! I believe in keeping you in the loop, just as if you were right here with us. Expect lots of texts and photos!
“I know that my girls are happy that I am home. However I swear they keep running to the door looking for Rebecca. This makes me very happy. All 6 of our "kids" are happy and were well cared for. We have officially adopted Rebecca. So happy we tried Rover and found her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gibsonton
Jade is AMAZING! She watched our two cats and dog while we were away. She sent the best pictures of our fur babies everyday. Kept us updated and is great with response time. We definitely will be choosing Jade again in the future. I highly recommend having her!
Lane was amazing!!! So kind, quick to communicate and our dogs took to her immediately. I have trouble trusting if our dogs are comfortable or being taken care of to our standards and felt 0 anxiety with Lane watching them. So many pictures of them snuggling & being goofy I knew they were well taken care of! Will 100% use Lane again the future if she’s available.
Ash was so great with our dogs and cat! This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting so I was a little nervous about leaving them, but I quickly realized they were in great hands with Ash. She made sure to give them so much love and attention while we were away and I think they made a new best friend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gibsonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gibsonton on Rover is $32.7 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,403 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gibsonton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gibsonton 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 Gibsonton 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
