About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m excited to provide dependable, attentive care and earn your trust through excellent communication and reliable service. I do work full time and am looking for a side gig, I am able to do evening walks or weekend walks if needed and I love walking. I always make sure the pet is comfortable and check in on them. I try to make sure the pet has all of its needs fulfilled and keep a look out for certain behaviors to make sure they’re not in distress.
“Sabrina watched my dog Rosco for a long weekend and did a phenomenal job. She sent many pictures and videos of our dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving Rosco in her care. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.
“Trisa was a great find! She kept up with our communications, was easy going and pleasant to deal with. We knew our dog Cocoa was safe and happy. We also felt very comfortable with Trisa in our home. Our trips without Cocoa are usually just long weekends, and we will use Trisa again.”
About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean. I am currently only working part time so I have tons of time to help these animals have some fun while their parents are away! I have a very large yard and live nearby to parks. I have a crate if needed and will be willing to accommodate whatever is needed.
“Can’t recommend Avarie enough! She is a very thoughtful and kind dog lover. Avarie stayed in our home and left it in perfect condition. She took excellent care of our dog. Avarie went out of her way to calm our apprehensions about leaving our 6 yr old dog by coming by a few times beforehand to make sure he knew her. She was just what we hoped she would be with our dog!”
About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

About: I have a pup of my own! I have worked at a boarding/daycare facility, feeding, letting out, and bathing dogs of all breeds and sizes, with the occasional cat, bunny, lizard, and even a parrot! I have also worked as a dog walker and sitter for a company in Kansas City, the best job i've ever had, but unfortunately had to move back home to Montana. My schedule included 30 minute walks, driving pups to dog parks and watching them play, staying overnight at clients' houses to care for their dogs (and sometimes cats) while they were away, and falling in love with all the pups that I was working with!

FAQs for House Sitting - Nankin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nankin. 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 Nankin 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 Nankin 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Nankin 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
