“Brandie took such great care of Coco and of my house. She was great sending me updates and pictures. I came home to a happy calm pup who had clearly gotten lots of love. I will definitely be booking Brandie again!”
“Malarie is so great! We’ve had her stay twice now with our 6 and 1/2 year old chocolate lab and have been super happy with her care of our pup, our home, and she is a great communicator. We have a pretty lengthy list of ways we like to make sure our dogs care is handled, as well as the use of our home, and Malarie has followed everything, and gone above and beyond keeping our home clean and our pup happy. We already have her booked for the future for several stays and definitely want to continue using her! Definitely recommend her.”
“Wow! This was our first time working with Deborah and she was fantastic. We have three big dogs, an aging cat, and a snake and I’ve never seen them so relaxed and content after coming home from a long trip. The house and plant also look great. Five stars! We will definitely rebook with Deborah. 🐾🐾🐾”
About: I grew up with dogs, I'm 22, my last boy recently passed last year in the summer. Ever since I couldnt bring myself to get a new dog, not after him. But I do have a bunny that I rescued from a bunny shelter in the bay! I've showered, groomed, walked, etc dogs in the past. With my last boy, he had cancer so I guess you can say I have a bit of experience with following a oral medication administration schedule. I also did have a senior dog prior to him, that's all an experience. I had him when he was a pup so I did raise my boy and I think I did a pretty good job at it too. I currently work 3, irregular 12 hours shifts, the days are different every week. My school schedule is a bit more set. With that being said If I'm not working my 12 hr I'm available after 12 noon any day besides Saturday, currently. I do live with roommates in a spacious house with a yard. I don't think id be able to take in any doggies for boarding for long periods of time, maybe for the day but even then those are slim chances. For the times that I can, your pup will be surrounded with fun animals lovers that love to spoil and play with anything fluffy. We do have a cat and a bunny in the house but they are easy to keep away or be put in a different room of the house. I, personally, love a good walk on a trial and a good trip to the dog park. I'm all up for water activities, I don't mind washing your pup. Even a good stoll through the neighborhood and ending it with a movie and lots of cuddles. Indoor or outdoor, I can work with just about any activities or tasks.
“Anastassia went above and beyond, taking care of our animals and our house while we were on our trip and sent us many pictures so we knew our fur babies were safe and happy. The house was clean and the animals were happy and calm when we got home. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!
“Meredith watched our two senior dogs for us over the Christmas holiday. She was very professional and thoughtful. We received daily updates including cute photos. The dogs appeared happy and very well cared for. The house was left clean, including washing sheets and towels and remaking the bed. We will definitely be calling Meredith again!”
“I so appreciated Ronnie hanging out with Alfie! She was very responsive and kept me updated on how he was doing. Alfie was calm and content when I returned home so I know he had a nice time :)”
About: I’ve had many animals as part of my family, raising them from infancy and all the way through the life cycle. My home has always had cats and dogs, with the occasional other animal added to the mix. I have been professionally pet-sitting for the last few years now and have cared for hundreds of pets. I treat your home and animals as though they were my own, with all of my respect and love. I’m working on pet first aid and CPR certification, am a member of Pet Sitters International, and am always learning more about cat behavior and dog training. Pet sitting is my favorite job ever! It’s become my full-time passion to find my niche and do this as a career. It sure beats my old desk job! I am also my daughter’s chauffeur. I am a night owl at heart and have no problem with late-night visits, but can also do visits before 8am when necessary. I start out meeting you and your animal(s). You show me what is most important to you and them, and I follow your instructions while also providing much-needed attention and affection to your loved ones while you are away.
“Mike house and pet sat our three fur-babies for four nights: 1 senior miniature poodle, 1 senior cat, and one young labradoodle. When he came by for the meet-and-greet, he was very attentive to how we interact with our pets and asked lots of questions about their personalities and individual quirks. Our two senior pets had multiple eye drops and an oral medication, all which Mike administered like a pro! He was very communicative and sent us updates with photos regularly. Our house was in perfect condition upon our return. We highly recommend Mike and look forward to hiring him again for our next trip!”
“Lacee was everything we were looking for in a house sitter and a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and a proactive communicator. She took great care of our 3 active dogs and kept us informed. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“Julia did a phenomenal job house sitting and watching our cattle dog mix Phoebe for 4 days. She was very professional, attentive, checked in with us and sent pictures, and left us a tidy home and happy healthy pup to come home to. Would certainly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“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.”
“Kendra worked very hard to gain our Daisy’s trust…not an easy task, and she paid close attention to Daisy’s recent surgery incisions. We were very pleased with all the updates and photos she provided during the time we were away. Thank you”
About: Hi, I'm Carissa! I've owned and cared for cats, birds, snakes, horses, guinea pigs, and other small animals, plus I have experience caring for and training dogs. Whatever pet you have, I'm comfortable and confident meeting their unique needs. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. As a certified personal trainer with an active lifestyle, your dog will get real exercise and engagement not just a quick potty break. Caring for animals genuinely brings me joy, and when you book with me, your pet gets treated like family. I am currently working full time. 6a-3p. Tuesday-Saturday. I am available anytime of the day on Sundays and Mondays for your pet care needs. Since all of my services take place in the client's home, my top priority is making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. For dog walking, I follow any feeding, exercise, and leash routines the owner has established, and always keep dogs secure and supervised. For drop-in visits and pet sitting, I stick to the pet's normal schedule as closely as possible, feeding times, medications, play, and any specific preferences the owner shares. With house sitting, I'm there in the mornings/after work so dogs and cats never feel alone or anxious, and I treat the home with the same care I'd give my own. I always keep owners updated with photos and check-ins, and I reach out right away if anything comes up.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Nimbus is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nimbus
We used Kiley to watch our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for our wedding. Our dogs loved her and were so excited to see her walk in through the door following our meet and greet. She provided us updates of the pets and went above and beyond by accommodating all my requests when I had forgotten something and needed it placed outside for a pickup! Super sweet, reliable, and helpful — all that you want and need in a pet sitter!
This was our first time having Cayla caring for our fur babies and it was a great experience. She was able to adjust to a last minute schedule change which was a life saver! The dogs seemed happy in her care and she was great with pictures and following up. We definitely would recommend her!
Danika is an excellent pet sitter in all respects. She was on time to our meet and greet and to our house when pet sitting started. She had great communication and gave daily updates with photos. She left our house clean. I’d add my voice to the others that highly recommend Danika!
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!
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. 💕

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
