“Matt and Nicole were terrific. They were very easy-going and sent me daily photos of my dog during several different activities throughout the day including swimming laps in their pool. It was almost like a weekend day spa for my nine year-old chocolate lab who needed the exercise. Their home had a very warm animal loving feel to it.”
“Once again I could not be happier with the care and attention Amy provided for my pup. He loves spending time with her and I feel confident that he’s well taken care of. Thanks Amy!! YOU ROCK!!”
“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”

“Yusel was so welcoming for my pup who had some stress from our travel and remained calm and receptive when I mentioned she was a little stressed. She must have provided Char great love and attention as the photos she shared showed my dog was enjoying her stay and had little appearance of stress. Truly a gift with her stay.”
“I couldn’t be happier with our Rover experience! My dog came home so happy and content, and it was clear she was well cared for and loved while I was away. I got daily updates and pictures, which made me feel completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. It’s such a relief to find someone I can truly trust with her—I’ll definitely be booking again! 🐶💜”

“Katherine is the BEST and so happy to have found her on Rover. She and her family took great care of my pup. Lots of updates and pics which I really appreciated. Despite having a huge backyard for my pup to run wild, she still provided daily walks and good exercise. A very big Thanks!”
“Yaima was wonderfully taking care of our pups. They were so happy and worn out from such a fun weekend with her family. She was very responsive and flexible. Hey dog Stella is a sweetheart and made for such a good companion to our boys. Definitely using her in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Bob and Keri… they are now our new favorite sitters. It truly felt like we left our doggies at their grandparents. I know Rudy and Lucy are happy to be home, but they honestly seemed perfectly content being with Bob and Keri and didn’t seem to have missed us as much as they normally do when we’re away. Literally the best place ever to leave your pups. Love! Love! Love!”

“I’m am very happy leaving my Gus with Annette he loves and enjoys her company and doggie friends. She is always very nice to send me updates and pictures of Gus playing with friends. He was certainly very happy staying with Annette”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation, she made us feel completely at ease by sending daily photos and updates. Seeing our dogs so happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear, Vivian genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she showed them. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!”
About: All creatures in my home with be treated with respect, warmth, and feel safe. I am in tune to a pets needs especially when left in a different place. I will work to ensure all animals left in my care will feel safe, warm and loved. I am able to give prescribed medications as needed as I am a retired RN. I get up early and need to feel busy. Retirement is enjoyable but I am used to feeling needed. So, taking care of Dogs and Cats will full-fill this for me. Our home has a caged pool area with dog door. The large yard is fully fenced with area to run. My husband and I love to be outside and we have a safe neighborhood to go for walks. During fall, winter and Spring we walk with our dog frequently. Summer is too hot.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Nichols is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nichols
Very satisfied repeat customers!! Matt and Nicole took great care of our old dog, accommodating for his needs, i.e. putting his bed and blankets in an out-of-traffic place. He came home with no signs of stress. Communication is great. We highly recommend Matt and Nicole and appreciate the level of care they provide.
Briana has been our sitter for every single trip we took this year and on the latest one, our flight was canceled and we were stranded without a way home. She took this in stride and never once made us feel bad, even with the uncertainty. The only peace of mind we had was that our dogs were well taken care of. We are forever grateful to her and our dogs love staying with her.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Nichols can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nichols home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nichols.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nichols. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Nichols sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
