“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.”
“Drue was terrific! She arrived when scheduled, spoiled our boys with treats and outside time, and sent pictures with her report card for the boys. We will surely be using her services again in the future!”
“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!”
“Jenna did a great job communicating while taking care of our dogs! It was clear she spent a lot of her time with them making sure they were comfortable while we were on vacation. Would definitely recommend her to dog sit!”
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!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and currently help care for three dogs at my family home. I also have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, including both dogs and cats, and I’m confident with daily care routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing consistent attention. I also have CNA healthcare experience, which has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and comfort. I currently live in a pet-free home, which allows me to board animals in a calm environment without other animals getting in the way. With a flexible schedule and 24+ hours’ notice, I’m able to accommodate a range of pet care requests including boarding, sitting, and drop-ins. I prioritize reliability, communication, and creating a calm, consistent experience for every pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and attentive care in every booking. As a responsible dog owner, I’m confident handling dogs of different temperaments and enjoy taking them on regular walks. You can feel assured your dog will be safe, cared for, and well looked after with me.
“She is the BEST! Someone we can trust with our girls and our home without hesitation. One of the best at what they do — you can work with them confidently. We are very happy, and so are our girls. Thank you for everything.”
“Our girls became fast friends with Veronica! She treated them like her own and gave us detailed reports on how they were doing while we were away for the evening! We highly recommend Veronica for sitting needs and we would love to have her back!!”
“Shayla was absolutely fantastic! She was very open and friendly during our meet and greet; was able to tell my dog loved her immediately! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time I was away. Lots of pictures sent to me of my dog was so sweet to receive! I will definitely be booking with Shayla again! Thanks for taking the BEST care of Sasha 💕”
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs for over 10 years. I have experience with oral medications. I also speak English and Spanish fluently. I’m a teacher so I work Monday-Friday from 7:00 to 3:00. I can house-sit any day of the week including weekends and I’m completely free in the summer. I like to take care of the dogs before I leave for work by giving them some attention (i.e. cuddles) and taking care of their needs. For exercise, if there’s a fenced yard, I like to play with them outside before feeding them. I try to take them for walks as often as possible.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was about 10 years old, so having animals in my life has always felt very natural to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs with very different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs. I pay a lot of attention to how an animal communicates - what makes them comfortable, what makes them nervous, when they want interaction, and when they need a little space. I know how important familiar routines are, especially when their person is away, and I’m happy to follow the feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and other routines your pet is used to. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting around my workday. I arrange visit times with each client in advance and do my best to keep your pet’s usual schedule consistent. For house sitting, I can work remotely from your home, which allows me to spend more time there with your pets. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and follow their usual routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and any special care your pet may need. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For house sitting, I always meet with you and your pet beforehand so we can go over their routine, home instructions, and anything else I should know before the stay.
About: I believe dogs are family and should be treated as such! I would love to spoil your furry friend! I’m punctual and detailed when it comes to any job. I work a full-time job. I am available in the evenings/nights and weekends. I could even make some early mornings work. If times are flexible, please let me know! I take care of pets by knowing I’m in their environment first. I make sure they are comfortable before overstepping my welcome. Walking, feeding and spoiling them with lots of love are ways I personally take care of my dog.
“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!”

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.
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

- 98% 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.
