“This was the first time leaving my fur babies in the hands of a sitter and Whitney made me feel at ease. Having a dog and 3 cats, I was very nervous since their routine is a bit complicated but they all warmed up to her and she did everything perfectly. She would send pictures and write a detailed paragraph that I would look forward to. Will definitely be using Whitney in the future.”
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 have had pets my entire life and truly love caring for animals. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior pets and providing the extra attention and gentle care they may need. During the school year, I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 7:00 PM, and Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability. I also offer boarding in my home for one medium dog or up to two small dogs, depending on availability. My home has a fully fenced, spacious yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and relax. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are not left alone for long periods and receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Boarding dogs must be house-trained, spayed/neutered, and friendly with other dogs. Spanish is spoken in our home. Your pet will be welcomed and cared for like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and respect. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

And, most of all, our puppy was excited to meet her. During our drop-in visits she sent us a wonderful update that included pictures while we were away. We have already booked her again!”

About: I grew up around dogs, all types of behaviors I have witnessed and handled. I’ve also handle 3 liters of puppies during my early adulthood including taking care of the mother and the pups while properly feeding them. From there, I would keep your dog’s needs at priority! Whether it’s feeding, walking or entertaining. I currently do not have roommates so any size is welcome! I currently work full time, yet I work from home Monday and Friday so I can keep an extra eye on your pup while taking breaks in between to ensure a walk and feeding. I’m also open on weekends! I live near 3 parks! If your pet is comfortable, I’ll be happy to take them there! I live in a quieter neighborhood and will have plenty of toys to share.

“Jess was amazing with our dogs and even did extra to play with our kitties. She included so many pictures of our babies it was nice to see them being so happy while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies.”

Sent tons of pictures and communication on how they were doing. Gave us peace of mind knowing she was dropping in on them. Went above and beyond when they were not eating and getting my girl to take her meds. She is the best!!!!”

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!
Sherri has been absolutely amazing with my kitties! I asked her to see them last second and she quickly responded. She sends great pictures and plays with my kitties with the toys she brings, and they love it! I always feel at ease when she visits my kitties while I'm out of town. I highly recommend Sherri!!!
Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care
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 😊
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pet. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gibsonton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
