About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and lifelong experience with animals. I grew up in a pet-friendly home where caring for animals was part of everyday life, so I understand the patience, attention, and compassion they need. I’ve also sheltered and cared for pets until they were ready to find their forever homes, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently work part-time so I have a lot of time and space for pet sitting! I’m available throughout the week & weekends as well. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy home where my pets can feel comfortable and cared for. From soft, comfortable bedding and a welcoming environment to engaging playtime and fun-filled activities, I make sure every pets receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.
About: I am very passionate about all furbabies. I have grown up around dogs and cats all my life. I am a great friend for your furbaby. My goal is to keep your baby happy and relaxed while you are away. I enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood and even playtime at the parks. I have been a veterinary technician for the last 10 years and have volunteered at the local shelters. I have knowledge in medicine distributing, proper handling, grooming, bathing, nail clips, ear cleaning and more. I am also able to handle any breed and temperment of dog without any harm. I want to give your dog the upmost love possible while you are away. I look forward to meeting with you and your furbaby. Please if you have any questions or concerns message me. I am a vet tech just trying to make a living doing what I do best, offer services outside of my job. Pet care is my best quality. Without them we would travel WAY MORE! Pet comfort is top priority. When sitting at clients home I will do my best not to disrupt any schedule. My home is very open so commands or teathers are recommended.
About: Neighbors, friends trust and rely on me to love their fur babies ( im their babies auntie Lissa) I communicate and update with owners at least times or more daily with pictures, videos text messages, or phone calls. I make sure my reponse time back to owners is quick…efficient. Clear communication at all times. I work full time, M-Th 8:30-4:30 Fridays 8:30-2. Some days get off earlier but before, after work plenty of time to walk, playtime, snuggles and able to stay nights at your house to give the best comfort to your furry baby in their own familiar safe place they know! Also plenty of time to spend all day with them on the weekends. I care for pets in client’s homes that way there’s no interruption in the babies can stay in daily routine in familiar place. No stress.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
“Keira’s did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent me pictures to let me know they were safe. She also fed our turtles in our pond. I would definitely recommend her for a pet sitter.”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over five years, including puppies and pets that need medications. I've worked with all breeds and sizes, and pet parents always compliment me on my reliability, cleanliness, and calm presence. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Because I work online, I'm available every day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet's needs. I offer overnights, last-minute bookings, and flexible weekend availability. Whether your pet needs frequent walks, playtime, or a consistent routine, I'm able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard and share my home with three energetic dogs and three friendly cats. I can crate your pet if needed and always supervise outdoor time for visiting pets. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks and closely follow each owner's feeding, medication, and routine instructions to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I love animals and helping them have the best time they can possibly have without their person at home. I know it can be nerve wracking to be away from your animals so I vow to make their time as enjoyable as it can be. I’ll make sure they feel just as loved and cared for as you would make them feel. I want to bring a fun and safe energy to them so you don’t have to worry. I’m open most of the time. I usually bartend but since it’s the slow season I haven’t had much work. I can fully immerse myself into caring for any animal! I can come over at any time to watch your animals. If they are feeling extra nervous I’d even be okay with staying a bit longer than agreed upon just to make them feel more comfortable. I’ll do whatever I need so they feel safe in my care.

I am a full time owner and operator of Dawn of the dog petcare, my time is dedicated to the care and wellbeing of your pet. I have a fenced in back yard for potty breaks, and several play areas in my house to ensure your dog is having the best time. I do have a small 8lb schnauzer mix of my own who loves everyone and 3 cats. I try to accommodate a range of pets, I can take in high anxiety, fearful, and some mild food aggression.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nicholson. 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 Nicholson 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 Nicholson 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 Nicholson 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 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.
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.
