About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets! I currently have a German Shepherd, a senior cat, and a 6-month-old ferret, so I’m familiar with caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. I’ve been watching dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since I was little, and I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds and personalities, big and small. I’m definitely the person who stops to pet every animal I see! I love making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ If your pet is extra needy and loves being the center of attention, no worries! When your pet boards at my house, my own animals will stay at their own house and won’t be at the boarding house, so your fur baby can enjoy all the love, cuddles, and attention to themselves! Pet care fits easily into my routine because my job offers a flexible schedule! As long as I have about a week’s notice, I can arrange my work schedule around your pet’s needs. I’m happy to provide care throughout the day and night, whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, regular meals, playtime, medication reminders, or just extra company and cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’ll make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ I care for my animals like they’re my own babies, and I’ll treat your pets the exact same way! ❤️ I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and my ferret is very friendly and loves other animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, giving baths, crate training or crating when needed, feeding, cleaning up after pets, and pretty much anything else your fur babies might need. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m happy to accommodate them. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra cuddles, patience, or a little extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! 🐾

About: I'm a certified pet sittier through Fetch Find and have over a decade of experience. I work with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have experience with sick and anxious animals. My own senior cat is both and requires tender loving care to medicate. I'll bring the same love and patience to your animals that I bring to my own. I currently work from home full time. I have a semi flexible schedule and I'm available from 2pm-9pm for walks, drop ins, or anything your pets may need. I individualize my care based on what each client needs. That may look like giving your babies tons of attention or the space they need to feel safe. We can talk 1:1 to make sure your pets have what they need.

About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior & Digital Cinematography through online classes; I am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a rescue part-time, so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds! From anxious dogs to the high energy goofball’s I can handle it. I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

About: I grew up caring for many kinds of animals and have always been a lover of nature and wildlife. With our family pets, we often fostered cats and dogs, as well as newborn kittens and puppies. I volunteered for the Animal Welfare League in Port Charlotte, FL, caring for cats and dogs of many varieties for several years. I currently have 4 cats of my own, all rescues which I love dearly! It would be an honor for you to trust me with the care of your pet, and I guarantee that I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with providing cats with basic, routine medical treatments such as pills, topicals, and liquid medications. Communication is important to me, and I will gladly provide you with any updates or answer any questions you may have while I'm looking after your home or pet. I'm currently seeking more self-employment opportunities, so my availability for daily or weekly sitting services is completely open! If you're looking for regular walks/visits, we can work together to schedule according to your pet's needs. You can rely on me to treat your home and pets with integrity and respect. Ensuring the comfort and safety of your animals is my top priority! I will listen to your unique needs and concerns, and provide attentive care.

About: I am a responsible and caring dog owner who truly treats my dog like family. My dog is an important part of my life, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. Caring for my own dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. I am experienced with daily feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I am also happy to provide updates and photos to help you stay connected with your pet. I am available for pet care Monday mornings before 10:00 AM, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings until 12:30 PM, and all day Saturday and Sunday. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they need. I provide pet care in the client’s home, not in my own home. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I will follow your instructions carefully and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I am responsible, respectful, and attentive when caring for pets and will make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I am also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

About: Although I don’t have professional experience as a pet sitter, I have always had cats and have also had dogs, so I’m very comfortable living with and caring for them. I have also cared for my friends’ dogs on several occasions. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person. I believe every pet deserves attention, respect, and lots of love. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they are with me. 🐾❤️ Trabajo de lunes a viernes hasta las 5:00 p. m., por lo que estoy disponible para cuidar mascotas después de ese horario.

Me gusta brindarles compañía, cariño y atención, además de asegurarme de que tengan comida y agua fresca. También puedo jugar con ellos, sacarlos a caminar si es necesario y mantener limpio y ordenado su espacio.

About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.

About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Nichols

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 605 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Nichols. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
