“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Maddison was incredibly responsive and respectful of my home. She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell my pup was happy and well looked after. On top of that, she was super kind. Highly recommend!”
“Brandie stayed at my house for 4 days with my dog and 3 cats. She left the house in great condition and even watered my plants and brought in my mail. She is a natural with animals. My dog developed a tight connection with her and she did a great job taking care of him even in the very warm weather. She was great with the cats as well; playing with them and tending to their needs. I appreciate that she kept the dog and cats apart as they do not like each other. I highly recommend Brandie for your pet sitting and dog walking needs.”
“We were so lucky to find Julie! She is friendly, dependable and very responsive. Her love of animals is obvious. Having such a reliable house/petsitter gives us the confidence to travel more. She has our highest recommendation!”
“Danika did a good job even though my dog Callie was very naughty and wouldn't stop crying and barking. Danika tried many different things to keep her quiet, but she was just not cooperating. My other dog Lucy was just fine. Callie just needs more lessons.”
“Cayla did a great job making sure Dottie was fed, took her meds and had walks morning and evenings. She was in communication and was able to follow all directions for my spoiled little girl.”
About: I’ve never not had pets. My family has almost always had dogs, and I took care of a hamster and cat when I was younger. Today, my wife and I have two poodle-mix dogs (Togepi and Raisin) and two guinea pigs (Betty and Gertie). We got Togepi when he was just a couple months old. We got Raisin from a shelter in 2024. I’ve helped my wife with her Rover sitting since since 2023—she’s a 5-star sitter. I just graduated from law school and am studying for the California bar exam this summer. I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My wife plans to do Mondays-Thursdays if you need someone earlier in the week. I’m happy to care for your pet(s) however you’d like. If you want me to stay in your home while you’re away, I can do so on most Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
“Ronni was amazing! She was very punctual and reliable. Very sweet with Bentley and took such good care of him. Will definitely be using her again. Would recommend her to everyone! Thank you again Ronni!”
“Mariah was so wonderful with our dog Freya. She sent pictures daily and let me know that she was doing good. Our Aussie has anxiety sometimes and Mariah was wonderful with her. We left her for 7 days and haven’t been gone that long before so it was great to know she was being cared for by someone as sweet and responsible as Mariah.”
“Micheal came for an interview and we were impressed wirh his experience, knowledge of pet and house sitting. This was our 1st time we left a stranger in our house to take care of our pet. Micheal was kind, neat and respected our home. He followed our instructions and most important he took great care of our wonderful pet. They bonded and Micheal sent us pictures daily of our pet. Micheal took the stress away while not being our pet Chica. Thank you Micheal you did a great job.”
“Brooklyn was wonderful! She is so kind, compassionate, and truly loves dog sitting. She sent detailed updates with lots of photos daily, making us feel completely at ease while I was away. It was so obvious our dog Remy loved his time with Brooklyn. In addition the house was clean and organized when we returned home. Thank you Brooklyn- Remy wound love playtime soon again!”
“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Laura and I'm 38 years old. I grew up in the country and my mother had a dog grooming studio in our house. I have always loved animals and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, ducks and horses. As an adult, I have worked at animal shelters and for private rescues. I have fostered dogs in my own home, many of whom were neglected and needed a sensitive touch. I currently have 3 rescue dogs of my own, one of whom has kidney disease. I give medication and IV fluids three times a week for her at home. I am available for dog walks/hikes, pet sitting and am comfortable with a wide range of breeds. I am reliable, caring and will treat your pet like they are a member of my own family. I currently work nights, part-time in the restaurant industry which gives me plenty of free time during the day to care for your furry family member(s)! I tailor each experience to match your pets needs. I am up for anything including, long walk, adventurous hikes, leisurely strolls, playing in the back yard, snuggling on the couch and more. I am happy to spend whatever time and energy your fur baby needs!
“Danielle was really friendly and knowledgeable my Gunner took to her quickly and was really happy when she came back after her meet and greet he also slept really well that night so I know she kept him busy playing”
About: As someone who grew up with dogs, both small and large, I've learned what it takes to make sure the puppies are well cared for, between giving them the right food, making sure they go on walks, and grooming. Our pets are our best friends and so we should take the greatest care of them, and I'm willing to do that for all animals alike. I'm currently a part time worker both on weekends and weekdays and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of pets. The only time I would not be able to offer my services is dueing weekends. In my home, I have a fenced yard to allow for our big huskies to have space to play and run, offering them toys that I know would keep them entertained. I also make sure to clean my dogs and ensure they eat healthily.
“Johnna house-sat for us while we were away at a memorial service in Los Angeles, and she took care of both our cat and dog, and our house. She was fabulous. She went above and beyond, as usual. It is lovely to have someone so trustworthy take care of our home while we are away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Nimbus is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nimbus
Brooklyn was amazing. We have never used Rover before due to someone we don’t know watching out pups, but she made the process so easy. She adjusted her schedule to be able to watch our two dogs and was so quick to respond with any questions or provide photos of our boys! She left the house in great condition and even did the laundry that was used during her stay which was so unexpected! I will definitely have Brooklyn back in the future when we need help with our dogs!
Brandie stayed at my house for 4 days with my dog and 3 cats. She left the house in great condition and even watered my plants and brought in my mail. She is a natural with animals. My dog developed a tight connection with her and she did a great job taking care of him even in the very warm weather. She was great with the cats as well; playing with them and tending to their needs. I appreciate that she kept the dog and cats apart as they do not like each other. I highly recommend Brandie for your pet sitting and dog walking needs.

We felt so blessed to find Kerrigan. She reached out to meet Harley before she watched her which was very reassuring. When she stayed and took care of her she would give me updates and sent pictures. She walked her a couple times a day and gave her so much love. I would recommend Kerrigan if you want someone who is quick to respond and who gives your little fur baby so much attention. 💕
Meredith took great care to my sweet pets , small dog and a cat , did a wonderful job , how trustworthy she’s is and she’s give them a lot of Love and attention , great communication and daily pictures . Thank You very much for take care my lovely Bella and Rosie :-)
Alora is a very responsible and communicative pet sitter! She visited us twice before we left in order to get to know our pup a bit and learn her routine. She was proactive, asked questions, scheduled pay dates. She sent frequent photos and kept us informed of her scheduled time away from the house, when necessary. We would definitely recommend!
I couldn't be happier with the amazing job Bradley did while watching my crew. He is reliable, caring, and so great with animals. When I got home, I could immediately relax thanks to the house being so clean and the animals so incredibly happy! Bradley is phenomenal and I'm so grateful to have found him.
Kian was absolutely amazing with my 7-month-old Yorkie, Pikachu! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in his care. He was responsive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with Pikachu. Kian sent me updates and photos throughout the stay, which was so comforting and showed me just how well Pikachu was doing. Pikachu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and feel so lucky to have someone I trust this much to watch my dog. I’d highly recommend Kian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. Thank you again, Kian!

FAQs for House Sitting - Nimbus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nimbus on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 2,779 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nimbus. 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 Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nimbus. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
