“Mary was absolutely amazing with our pups. We are very particular about our dogs and their routines. Mary did a wonderful job communicating with us and was always attentive to the extra attention and details required for our girls. We never had to wait for a response and always felt that she was providing the best care while we were gone. We have been using Rover for several years and Mary was one of the best sitters we have used. We were so confident in her care, attention to detail, following instructions, and ease of communication that we are booking her for several more trips this year. Very happy with Mary and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.”
“We have been so lucky the past two years to have Sandra watch over our animals when we are away. There is truly no one around who is more passionate about providing the best care for all animals. We could not recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.
“Very professional and kind to my dogs. Good communication and very attentive to their needs. Trustworthy and responsible! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.”
“Jimmy was great! Stayed at our house while we was gone on vacation for a week. Took very well care of both of our dogs and also took care of our mums and other plants. House was clean and very well taken care of as well. I would highly recommend him. We will be considering again in December when we leave again for a week. Oh and he sent pictures and communicated everyday with us.”
“Casey did a wonderful job taking care of Murphy!! She communicates very well and sent great pics of our girl to send while we were away! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!”
“Morgan took great care of our pitbull over the weekend and came for a meet & greet where he immediately took to her. Morgan is reliable and friendly, I would choose her again. Thanks a million Morgan!”
“Kayla was excellent! Kept us updated on how our pups were doing regularly, including daily pictures. She gave us peace of mind that they (and our house) was taken care of while we were away!”
“Gabby did a great job for us keeping our 90 pound lab. She kept us informed, even photos. Gabby house set for us for 7 days. She even washed linens before she left. I would say Gabrielle is an awesome dog sitter.”

I would recommend her ten times over!!”

Second time using Mary for house sitting. She is amazing and we will be booking again with here for another trip in the future. She communicates, follows all instructions to the letter, and leaves the house as if no one was even there. She even noticed one of our pups had an ear infection so we could get her scheduled at the vet. We would definitely recommend her.
Kayla cared for and loved on LoLo while I attended my Daughter's wedding in Italy. I had recently adopted LoLo from an animal rescue and was extremely nervous about leaving her as she was just getting used to me and her new environment. Kayla kept me updated and sent photos every day putting my mind at ease so I could enjoy the trip and the wedding festivities without worrying about my fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nicholasville on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 452 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nicholasville. 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 Nicholasville 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 Nicholasville 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 Nicholasville 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.
