“We reached out to Carrington to find a new local pet sitter for our Junior cat, Baby Groot! She was friendly and communicated very well. We appreciated the time she spent getting to know our pets during the Meet & Greet. Baby Groot warmed up to Carrington right away! We appreciated her attention to detail, great photos and the adorable little report card that she created for us! She was prompt, professional and caring!”

About: Been on rover for quite some time now 2018, I am now located in the Plumas Lake area. I am a CPDT but I’m shifting gears slightly and going to school for vet med to be a RVT. Your pets will be in good hands between myself and my wife who has 10 years as RVT. Coffee, let the pups out to potty, prep breakfast, head out for morning gym or appointment. Return by 12. Potty breaks and dog walk or bike ride for Sparta. Landscaping/yard work or In my workshop until sundown. Dogs eat around 5pm Yard is fenced in back and front. I will be able to provide play areas for little and big dogs separately if needed. Meals are typically mornings 7 to 9 and evenings 5 to7. I am able to create different zone for the dog to be in if there is any need for separation. I also have multiple buildings in which to house them and a very large private back yard for them to run.

“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student and working part-time. I’m completing 8-hour training shifts through the Oct.16th, after which my work schedule will become more flexible. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my class and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences so I can provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, care, and the same attention I would want for my own. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: I have plenty of experience with various types of pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, and fish. You name it and I can do it 😉 I also have experience administering medications to any of those fur babies above, as long as there is a walk through and I can see how the animal behaves when it is done so I know how to handle the situation. I am enrolled in college which means my schedule changes my semester. It is easiest that I am in home pet sitting if your babies require more attention. If not I am able to drop in mornings, evenings, and some afternoons depending on the circumstances. I am able to feed, water, and clean up after them on a daily basis and work around schedules if there are some issues. If in home care is what you want, I will be in a decent amount because of school and family, but if talked to early enough, we can arrange something to be more consistent 😊 As of right now I own 1 cat, 1 sun conure, 2 holland lops, and a doberman, and many more family pets as well. So I am very comfortable being around animals, but because I have so many in my own home, I am not able to offer in home care at my house, but more than open to in any clients home. Throughout my whole life, I have been surrounded by many types of animals and grew up learning how to take care of them. From cats to dogs, to parrots, bunnies, and family friends chickens, reptiles (no spiders please 😬) I am more than open to learning even more if needed! Schedules feedings and potty breaks, play time, cuddles, all available ☺️

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Nicolaus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,777 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Nicolaus. 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 Nicolaus. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
