“Vicki watched our girls for 8 days while we were out of town and she took such great care of them! She brushed them, let them out and gave them lots of cuddles. We are so happy our girls were in such good hands!”
“We booked Levi to watch our pets while we were away for our wedding weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond — coming to our house twice beforehand so our dogs (and even our cat!) could get comfortable with him. While we were gone, Levi took amazing care of our pets, including handling medications for our dogs with health issues, keeping us updated, and making sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! It gave us so much peace of mind during such an important weekend knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Levi again — highly, highly recommend! 🐶🐾”
“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Shylina was great! She even drove over to meet Bella before the actual sitting. We were totally comfortable having her in our home. She kept in touch and was very responsible with feeding and giving medications. We’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Took fantastic care of my dog, who’s still in a very high energy phase of his life and has some reactivity issues. He’s also a drama king, and Bailey spoon fed him on one of his fussier days!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and other animals) since I was a kid. A proud godmother of a Yorkshire Terrier, a sweet gentleman. Got on Rover during college, and I absolutely loved it. My situation makes it hard to raise my own pets, so I take the chance to be around them whenever I could. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide attentive care for animals, including long walks and companionship. This allows me to be consistently present and available while pet sitting. I’m not currently able to host pets in my own space, but I take the time to get familiar with each new environment so I can provide the best possible care. I make communication with owners a priority, especially when learning the details of a new home or routine.
“We can’t say enough good things about Elena! We were so nervous to leave our pup with a sitter for the first time, especially as he is undergoing heartworm treatment and requires some extra care. Elena was so sweet with Leinie - giving him lots of love and handling his medication regimen. When it came to coordinating our schedules she was communicative and flexible. We will definitely be reaching out for all our pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Grace did a great job with my two dogs. First time out of town with them no problem! Both are in training so still have puppy behaviors at times and she navigated them well. Lots of pictures and updates. Will book again. Recommended!”
“Would highly recommend Corey , he stayed in our house for six days and excellent care of our dogs. The only thing I was worried about was that the dogs would love him more than us (HA HA) I got update & pictures several times during the day , which was so reassuring to me . My dogs loved being spoiled & play time with Corey. I think if my dogs could talk, they would say they had a wonderful time at Disney land at our house ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thoughtful, respectful & caring !”

I am currently home full-time so I am available for drop in visits or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I will take care of your animals by going for walks and to dog parks, and anything you already do with them to make them most at comfortable in their home.

I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets in the comfort of their home. I prioritize maintaining a pets routine and creating a calm environment.
“Our pups gave her a hard time during the storms, but Jenna was great! She sent pictures & videos of our pups. This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home & we’d definitely have her back. Thank you again Jenna 😁”
“Hailey is the best. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and amazing with my two pups. She does a great job of taking care of your home and your pets. My doggos are both rescues, both have their own quirks, and both of them are very selective with humans. But they loved Hailey the moment they met her; and seeing them in the pictures Hailey sends me, I can tell they love having her stay with them.”

“Maliya is fantastic! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She gave Lucy so much love and attention, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Maliya was always responsive, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout our trip. She also took great care of our home and left it spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Sharron was an incredible first impression! She did drop ins with our two bulldogs and it’s safe to say the dogs had as much fun as we did on our vacation! Highly recommend Sharron. She’s a great communicator, sends the best pictures and has great attention to detail with specific dog needs. We’ll be regulars!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Nerstrand
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nerstrand. 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 Nerstrand 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 Nerstrand 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 Nerstrand 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.
