“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 was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”
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.
About: I have been passionately caring for dogs for 15 years. As a lifelong animal lover, I have always had pups in my own home, giving me a deep understanding of their needs. Over the years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or overnight house sitting, my loved ones have always relied on me to treat their fur babies like my own. I am also able to take care of senior dogs if needed, I am very skilled in that by giving medication on time and making sure they are well taken care of since they do need a little more love because of their age. I'm excited to bring that same dedicated, high-quality care to your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be home and present throughout the day. I am fully available Monday through Friday to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also have open weekend availability, ensuring your pup receives consistent care, structured routines, and extra love seven days a week! Whether I am house sitting in your home or hosting your fur baby in mine, your pet's safety and happiness comes first. My home features a secure, fenced backyard and a fun pool for outdoor play. I have friendly dogs who make excellent playmates, but I am also fully prepared to crate separate pups as needed to ensure everyone feels secure and stress-free. I am highly adaptable and happy to stick strictly to your routine!
“Kayla was great! We came home to happy pups! She was very communicative and helpful with our senior dog and of course our crazy Frenchie Winston! She left our home tidy which isn’t always the case with house-sitters. We will definitely ask Kayla to watch our boys again!”
“Casey came to the rescue last minute when we needed a sitter! She was professional and great with all of our pets! I will definitely be using her again and referring her to others!”
“Kylie did a great job! The boys were well taken of care of and communication was great. Can’t thank her enough for helping us on short notice.”
About: I’ve causally pet sit for my friends plenty of times and I am very comfortable taking care of dogs. I would love to be your pets bestie:) Right as of this moment I’m working part time so most of my shifts are 5hrs. Either 10-3 or 3-8pm. I will try to spend as much time as possible with your pet. I’m going to make sure they get some exercise in before I head off to work. I offer lots of cuddles and play ! I will make sure to keep your pet’s routine intact. I’m available to house sit if needed.
About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.
“Melissa took wonderful care of our dogs over the weekend! She came and stayed with them, and she sent so many cute pictures and videos. She was super communicative, too - we will definitely work with her again!”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
“Dina was great! Very responsive, send pictures, and updates. Never would have know she was at the house, took great care of everything. Dogs loved her and were happy and healthy when we returned. Such a relief to have her so we could take a weekend off. Highly recommend!”
“DeAnna was very responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for watching the pups! We have a couple more sits booked with her and it’s nice to know they will be cared for while I’m gone.”
“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.”

“Amber was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs!! She kept us very updated with pictures and messages and even checked in with us on a potential medical issue. They both need oral medication and she was comfortable with that and made sure they had what they needed. We loved having her take care of our pups and felt confident they were safe and happy with her! We’d recommend her to any other families that need someone to love and care for their pets while they’re away!”
About: I have been pet sitting for two years now with the help of my mother's pet grooming/sitting business, and now I wish to start my own and provide quality pet care to dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Since I have graduated from highschool, and will be taking a gap year before going to college, I will have plenty of time to care for your doggos and cats, being available anytime you need me and on any day of the week! I am a very adaptive individual, and will follow any instructions you leave for me concerning your fur babies, and I will ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention that my pets at home receive daily!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Nicholasville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nicholasville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 461 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.
