Carrington is a wonderful pet sitter! Our pets, even our shy ones, warmed up to her very quickly! She kept them safe, well fed and happy! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter for our mini zoo!

About: I have personal experience with small and big dogs. Puppies and elderly dogs. Indoor and outdoor cat. Cats that like to hide, cats that have disabilities. I have 2 dogs. Patty, a 17yo toy poodle shitshu mix. Nordic, 5yo husky german shepherd mix. I've raised Nordic since a puppy giving me lots of experience with high energy large dogs. I also have 2 outdoor cats. I helped my cat give birth to kittens, and took care of the kittens til they were old enough to go to thier forever homes. Ive house/pet sit for multiple family friends giving me experience with elderly/ end of life pet care. Have no problem cleaning up accidents. Aswell as experience with homes with large amounts of pets needing different dietary needs. Ive cared for homes with 6 cats, and homes with 5 dogs. I am detail oriented, and follow directions. I also have have worked as a bather at an award winning Carmichael Pet Salon. I can give pet bathes, cut and grind nails, do gland expression and give full brush outs. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a stay home mother. And dad works from home. So I'm almost always available to help, and happy to do so! My cats got used to being outdoor because that's how my father choose to raise them. They have a set up in our garage with heating pads and dinning area. And come inside during the day when they want. My elderly dog usually sleeps by my feet or with my dad. And we make sure she's indoors as much as possible. My husky loves to be near my babies he can usually be found outside their door or sunbathing in the backyard. He's off leash trained when appropriate for him to be off leash. He walks with me to get the mail, or hang out front with his family. I'm very big on treating animals how their owner does. Keeping routines. I have experience with crating from when my Husky was a puppy. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. While living in Australia, I spent two months walking and house sitting an Alaskan Malamute, which taught me a lot about handling large, high-energy dogs with care and confidence. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m familiar with a variety of breeds and temperaments. On the feline side, I have three rescue cats of my own, all former strays, and I regularly foster kittens, so I’m experienced with cats of all ages; from bottle babies to seniors. I also love visiting cat sanctuaries just to spend time with the kitties. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m passionate about giving animals the love, attention, and respect they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because my schedule is currently wide open. I'm in between career paths right now, which gives me the flexibility and time to fully dedicate myself to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. This also means I’m available for last-minute bookings and longer stays when needed. Caring for animals brings me a lot of joy, and I love being able to make it a meaningful part of my daily life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved; just as they would if you were home. During house sitting, I stay in your home and closely follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding, medication, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I also keep your home clean, secure, and tidy, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything is just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I provide personalized care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or backyard potty breaks, administering medications when required, and spending quality time playing or cuddling. Whatever your pet needs to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When it comes to dog walking, safety is always my number one priority. I use secure harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or high-traffic areas, stay alert to other animals and potential distractions, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. I never walk dogs off-leash and always ensure they’re hydrated and comfortable before and after each outing. Plus, I send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have been a lifetime pet parent and now I’m sitting full time. I am use to small to medium breeds, I enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play time and I do homework outside to the pups get more run time. I also can do Poppins for any type of animals. I’m a full time on line student so I’m almost always home. I love animals. I like to play with them in the yard or cuddle up on the couch. I either walk them when needed or when it is safe to do I don’t like to take any dogs out on hot pavement unless they’re wearing shoes. I am very respectful of my clients home and even willing to do small chores while gone.. I do enjoy being outside and playing ball with the dogs. Or lazing outside with them

About: I am a Military retiree, I have nothing but time. Ready, willing and able to pet sit, walk, pet, bathe, brush and spoil. I’ve had both cats and dogs for over the last 20 years. I currently have a 6yr old Service animal (dog) for my child. I have also worked at a Dog boarding /shelter that was on a farm. There I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds and needs. I can be available anytime in a 24 hour window. My children drive themselves now and no longer need me to run them around like I am a personal taxi. In our home, we just love!!!! Everybody has a few boundaries here and there like the cats aren’t allowed on the countertops, or the table, but they have no problems sitting/lying on our laps and our necks on the back of the couch. Our dogs are allowed on my children’s beds. I personally prefer cuddles with them on the couch. BUT——YOUR home, YOUR rules. I will follow, conform and adhere to whatever you deem appropriate for your house and animal family member.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Nicolaus on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,749 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Nicolaus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Nicolaus stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
