“Claudia has cared for Milo at least five times now, and every experience has been outstanding. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands whenever I’m away. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely treats Milo like he’s part of her own family. She always pays attention to the little details, keeps me updated, and makes sure he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The moment Milo sees Claudia, his tail starts wagging and he gets so excited—that says everything about the bond they’ve built. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you, Claudia, for always taking such incredible care of my sweet boy. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own!”
“Brianna was fantastic! I appreciated the frequent updates and meet and greet prior to booking! Grim can be particular and requires some extra TLC and Brianna had no issue with accommodating him for us. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful with my German shepherd Quinn! From the very first meeting, Quinn instantly got along with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Truly exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and trustworthy to look after her. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“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!!”
“Francesca did a wonderful job. It was out first time going on a vacation without the dogs, and she made it to where we enjoyed our vacation and didn't stress or worry about our fur babies. She takes wonderful pictures and updates on everything going on. She is very sweet and will take good care of your fur babies!”
About: I am new to dog walking for others on an app, however my family has had a family dog since I was 10. I have dog-sat for my sister and mother over the years and love all animals in general. I treat dogs and cats as their own individuals and act as a secure space for them to be comfortable. I am new, but I do appreciate anyone taking a chance. I work a full-time serving job that goes fairly late into the night. During weekdays I am more available however my schedule does shift for work. If you need late night walks for your precious child while you work or party, I’m here for you. Schedule- Monday- always off Tuesday/ Wednesday- usually off (3-10) Thursday- possibly off (3-12) Friday/Saturday- usually working (3-2am) Sunday- usually working (3-10) If you have any questions or need any flexibility let me know and we can see if something can work. Right now I do not have my own fur baby, only because I know how much care they require and I would like to be in the best position possible to care for them myself. I do care for all pets and animals with unconditional love and affection, and have lived with pets where I did take a partial responsibility in care.
About: Hi! My name is Ferhan, and I’m a dedicated animal lover who understands how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own dog, Max. I’ve had Max since he was 8 months old, and he is now 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, exercise, playtime, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and personality. Caring for Max has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. When caring for your pet, I can provide walks, play sessions, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain their normal routine and help them feel comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m typically free through hours during the day and mostly in the evenings. I have autonomy with my schedule so I can typically accommodate your needs. At my own home I keep away all dangerous items that my dog can get into. During walks I tend to avoid crowds so my dog doesn’t get too excited. I would give your pet the same courtesy
“Aryanna is awesome! We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. We’ve used her before and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks for everything Aryanna!!!”
“Melissa was awesome! We had to reschedule on short when things changed and she was so flexible and great. Reliable and our pooches appreciated her drop in! Certainly will schedule more wi the Melissa and would recommend her as well.”
“Samantha was a great dog sitter! Always made sure to communicate any questions or concerns. She took lots of photos and kept us updated on our dog Nyla. Highly recommend and will book again in the future! :)”
“Dana was great with my dog children. She gave regular updates, sent cute photos, and took great care of everything. My home was clean, my kids were happy and relaxed when I got back. I will gladly book again with Dana”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gibsonton
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 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gibsonton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 7,740 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gibsonton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
