“We are so fortunate to have found a capable, confident, positive, ready-for-anything companion for our handful of a dog! Andrea met our dog’s needs and handled his quirks with aplomb. Her daily photos and our dog’s happy, healthy appearance on our return confirmed our initial impressions of Andrea. She is a timely and forthright communicator who provided us with peace of mind when we were far from home. We are grateful!”
“Kat was amazing with our pup and so respectful of our home! She is organized, professional and super caring. It made our weekend away super easy knowing our house and dog were well taken care of. Thank you, Kat!!”
“Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job with Evie, Boo and PJ! Even though Evie is still in mourning over the passing of Rudolph Valentino Jones, you took great care of her and she ate food for you, bonus round since she hasn't eaten a lot in the last week or so. Thank you for taking excellent care of them and my beautiful home.”
“We are very happy to have found Olivia. We were very worried about leaving our animals in the care of another person and someone staying in our home. But, Olivia is very caring and attentive to the needs of her charges and treated our home with respect. We have an 18 year old chihuahua who needed reassurance because he is partially blind. He was very well taken care of as were our other two dogs who are much younger and energetic. We came back to a happy house. All our animals were very well cared for and most of all acted as if we did not leave at all. She made sure they all stayed in their routine and treated our house with Care.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friends’ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog is unique and that each dog has different needs. I am familiar with dog CPR. I am no stranger to administering medication to dogs. I am free after 4pm on Monday-Friday. On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks! I can stop by at your home to check in on your furry friend(s) and make sure that they have plenty of food and water in their bowls, as well as give them ample time to go to the bathroom prior to completing the check in. I can provide 30 min-1 hour walks, or stimulate/play with your dog(s) for 30 min-1 hour in the safety of your home yard or nearby dog park.
“Chiara came through on short notice when we were overseas and panicked because our sitter canceled at the last minute. She was reassuring and calm with us and stepped up in the best way. The dogs loved her and she provided daily updates with photos. Don’t hesitate to hire Chiara!!!”
About: I have always been around pets, dogs, cats, hamsters and chicken! I am an animal lover that will take good care of your furry loved one’s. I work part time as a babysitter in the morning so I have free time in the afternoon . I’m also willing to stay overnight and weekends if needed. I offer company and playtime to the furry ones. I always make sure leashes and collars are properly fitted. Also, I make sure all doors are closed and locked.
“Susan did a great job with my rescue Earl who has some anxiety issues. She was able to come over a few times before staying and let him get to know her and he loved her! She was very considerate, caring and I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. Earl was spoiled with lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thanks Susan!”
“Tayler was fantastic! We've had other sitters where we came back and our, slightly nervous, dog might have lost a little weight or been a little distressed from the stress of being gone. Not this time! Legend has actually been sleeping by the guest room where she stayed waiting for her to come back!”
“There aren't enough words to express how thankful we are to have found Francesco. He was incredible with our dog Betty. He was very good about updates and really intuitive in his interactions with her. She's really slow to warm to people and was calm with him very quickly. Our home and Betty seem to be in better shape than when we left. We will be sure to recommend him to anyone in need and will be booking with him again in the near future. Thank you again, Paul and Krystal”
“Lexie is a wonderful dog sitter. She has tons of experience with and loves dogs, and they love her back. My girls were well taken care of during my recent trip, and Lexie kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I've already booked her for another stay!”
“Kyle was fantastic! From the moment we met him, he was professional, friendly, and put us at ease. He took wonderful care of our kitten while house sitting and sent regular photos and updates, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation.Knowing our kitten and home were in such good hands made our trip completely stress-free. Kyle was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while we were away.We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book Kyle again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”
“What a joy to have Kait staying in our home and taking such great loving care of Honey. Kait is warm, reliable, a true dog friend, and a clean/responsible housesitter. We are grateful for her timeliness, thoroughness, and wonderful daily communications with pics. We dont love to leave home without Honey, but we are confident that leaving her with Kait is a perfect accommodation.”
“Brenda is kind and warm. Our dog instantly loved her. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. Brenda sent pictures and updates throughout her time with our dog and we felt that he was safe and happy. We highly recommend Brenda!”
About: I’m a Santa Rosa/Sonoma County local and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats of all personalities. We have an easygoing outdoor cat of our own who we absolutely adore, so I understand that cats like their routines, their space, and affection on their own terms! 🐱❤️ I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, outdoor/indoor routines, and of course plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience and care I give my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible full-time job and work from home a few days a week, with the ability to work remotely longer when needed. This gives me plenty of flexibility to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day. I’m also free most weekends and never work past 5 PM Monday–Friday, so I can easily make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own, whether I’m caring for them in their home or welcoming them into mine. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home where their comfort and safety come first. To me, animals are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, attention, and plenty of affection.

FAQs for House Sitting - Nicks Cove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,084 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nicks Cove. 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 Nicks Cove 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 Nicks Cove 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 Nicks Cove 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.
