“Kristen is amazing! Punctual, friendly, calm. Great communication. Best of all, Teddy seemed to love her and be extremely comfortable with her. It was the fastest I have ever seen him settle down with someone even with meds. Will definitely be booking with Kristen again when someone is needed. Thank you!”

“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”

“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”

She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”

Our home was neat and well cared for, and she did more than we asked her to! She responds quickly, sent pics, and our dogs were happy and healthy on our return. Definitely recommend Toysa!”

We really appreciated her quick response and regular communication during the transition as well as throughout the sitting. She is very reliable and sends lots of photos and updates. Our pets are in good hands with Jay! We’ve been able to have her house sit two times and would love to have her again.”

About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

“My husband and I were leaving for our 10-day honeymoon when, just a week before our trip, our dogs virus acted up and he could no longer attend daycare as we had planned. We were so relieved to find Linda! She was incredibly communicative from the start and made herself available to lock everything in quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind before we left. While we were away, Linda sent us daily updates and photos of our pup, which we looked forward to every day. It was so reassuring knowing he was able to stay in the comfort of his own home and maintain his normal routine while Linda took such great care of both him and our house. Our 2.5-year-old Golden Retriever is full of energy, and Linda did an amazing job building a relationship with him and keeping him happy, active, and comfortable while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”

About: As a child, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. As an adult, I have vast experience caring for animals. For 25 years, I did pet sitting and house sitting in the Boston area before moving to Puerto Rico 13 years ago. The first month I lived there, I found a box of kittens in the road. I have been a rescuer since, being one of few who take on the most challenging cases. I have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs and cats over the years and I have seen it all. Nothing intimidates me or grosses me out. I will give baths, dispense medications, clean up accidents, whatever is needed. I am 58 years old and am very reliable and trustworthy. I am 58 years old and do not work anymore so my availability is wide open. I do sometimes go to Puerto Rico where I am in the process of selling my home but the dates for those trips are flexible. I generally find that caring for pets in their own home is ideal as they really do appreciate routine, stability, and a familiar environment. However, I am certainly willing to care for them in my home as well and offer a fully fenced in back yard for dogs. There is an 11 lb dog at my house but he is used to cats and dogs coming and going so he should not pose a problem (or I can separate them, if preferred). In terms of routine, I am willing to adapt to whatever you have established and have no problem with giving medications, baths, or any other special care needed. With 13 years of rescuing in Puerto Rico and 25 years of pet care before that, I have seen it all (and nothing grosses me out!). If you like frequent updates and photos, no problem. If you like to relax and not think about home when you are away, no problem. Your beloved pets are in safe, loving hands.

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years, I board and do in home visits, I sit for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and even fish! I prioritize animals safety while also providing proper enrichment, walks, hikes, playdates, and play sessions. I am also a Certified veterinary technician. I currently work at a doggy daycare, on days off i'm with pets all day walking and playing. During work days I walk dogs before work and then get a 3 hour break in the middle of the day where I hike with dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat and a friendly dog at home to keep your pets company. I find hiking trails and safe walking routes to take pets on fun adventures!

“Lydia was phenomenal. Our dogs were happy when we got home, our house was as I left it. Couldn’t even tell she had been there. She gave me the perfect number of updates so I didn’t worry. She will be the first person I ask the next time I go away. Such a relief to find someone to take care of my 2 Great Pyrenees. One is 7 and 1 is a puppy. My older needs daily medications and Lydia was great about it. I can’t say enough good things. I do put a lot of weight in reviews of people leave especially someone staying in my home. It would seem to me that the one bad review was probably an unreasonable client. 🤷🏻‍♀️”

“Ashley took care of my pets while I was away for Thanksgiving. She is very thorough and responsive. Excellent communication and took amazing care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have an older dog who can be difficult and demanding at times (even in the middle of the night!), and she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable and happy. It was nice to come home to a clean home and happy pets!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Nichewaug

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 956 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nichewaug. 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 Nichewaug 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 Nichewaug 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 Nichewaug 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nichewaug. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
