Such a sweet sitter! She was so sweet, responsive, and sent us so many photos- really just went above and beyond. We came home to the sweetest doggy report cards that told us everything we needed to know. I would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you again!! 💌

Stays in great contact. I felt like I had a family member helping us out. I got up to date pictures. The walks and feedings were on time and our dog loved the visits. I will definitely look to rebook with Adrienne S.

About: I’ve worked with pets at every stage of life. From puppies full of energy to gentle senior dogs who need extra care. I’m adaptable and patient, whether that means giving a shy cat some space, offering tender attention to an older dog, or playing actively with a high-energy pup. Every visit, I make sure to provide a calm, focused, and loving environment for your pet. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets. I have a good amount of free time throughout the week and love using it to give animals the attention, playtime, and care they need! Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m happy to fit your pets needs into my routine and make your pet feel loved and well looked after. My main focus is keeping YOUR pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their environment. I always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after visits, and I’m careful to follow any household rules or routines the owner has in place. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs like feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite toys so they feel comfortable . I also keep the home tidy, especially around food and litter areas, and I always double check that everything is clean and safe before leaving. My goal is to make things easy and stress-free for both the pet and their owner.

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: I’ve taken care of any kind of animal you can name. I’ve worked/volunteered at recuses, breeders, vet offices, and my family has raised and raced standardbred horses since I was born. I also pet/house sit often. I know cpr/first aid for both dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also been approved for my 501(c)3 non for profit animal rescue license and I’m working towards starting my own animal rescue center. I work part time and I’m going to school to become a phlebotomist. I currently care for my rabbit, cat, 20 chickens, three peacocks, great dane, and five horses. So hard work is not new to me! As someone who leaves things better than I find them, your house, pets, and privacy are are my number one priority. You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs your pet(s) may have or need!

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 have taken care of dogs and cats since I started walking. I currently have a beautiful bengal named nova and a tiny chihuahua named lucky. I used to dog sit and help out with my neighbors senior dog as well. I have looked after my friend’s animals for years. All dogs are puppies to me no matter the size or age! I currently am a stay at home mom looking for work to make a little money doing something I love and that means spending time with animals! I am willing to be flexible and extend what hours I am available if discussed ahead of time. I would love to do walks and enjoy your fur babies to help people. I have always been very sure to make sure all gates/fences are closed, all doors are closed, pets are accounted for and making sure meds are dispersed correctly. Your pets are safe with me.

Misty did an amazing job taking care of our 5 month old Archie. They arrived exactly on time, fed him, played with him, took him for walks and provided great photos of their adventures. Highly recommend to book with Misty. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

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: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through owning and looking after two of my own. I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also volunteered at FieldHaven for five months, where I cared for cats and gained experience meeting the needs of animals in a safe and compassionate environment. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am basically free whenever. Walking animals fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy going on walks myself so why not take a furry friend along with me 🤗. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel happy and secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Nicolaus on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,666 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
  • 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.

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.
