“Brandie you are amazing! Mishka and Nuggy had a great time with you. The home looks better than how we left it. Loved the daily videos/picture check ins. Hope to book you again in the future!”
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.

“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!”
“Johnna was a wonderful and attentive caretaker for our little fur family! We got lots of updates and pics which we loved. She was able to come by a couple times before we left so our doggo could get to know her and her super sweet pup, Bonnie. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: Animals are an important part of my life; from rabbits to horses and ducks to dogs. Currently, I live with a quirky, dapper, gentleman dog; and beautiful, liberated, lady cat. They have a great, lovingly antagonistic sibling relationship. My son's dog has epilepsy and some separation anxiety that requires extra gentle support at times. Our cat has an independent, outdoor space that doesn't affect my dander allergy. Because of that, I am able to provide only drop in care for cat(s) to service food, water and litter. My primary focus is to care for dogs. I enjoy discovering each personality. Please use this Promo Code for a discount on your first booking: BONNIH20661 I am available during the week for drop ins while going to school and working on independent projects. Ideally, I am available for housesitting and to keep your pet (and plants?) company and cared for in their familiar environment. I am respectful, detail oriented and have several years of experience with pets and household. Please disclose all special needs, habits and behaviors that I can expect from your pet so that I can be prepared to provide excellent care. Hope to meet with you and your pet at a Meet & Greet!
“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.”
“Kathryn took wonderful care of our home and dogs while we were gone! She was great about staying in touch and giving them tons of attention. She won over our older dog who is pretty shy and made sure the bird felt loved too. We really appreciated having her stay!”
“Watched our pups for an extended weekend and took great care of them! One of our dogs has high anxiety and doesn’t get along with everyone, but she was able to feed him and give him his meds. Thank you!”
“Kara did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs as well as sending us pictures of them! She did a great job giving them their meds and overall fantastic job! I highly recommend her!”
“I have an anxious dog who takes medication and he was able to help her be comfortable within the first couple days. I can also rest assured that my 75 gallon freshwater tank is taken care of while I’m gone and which is not always easy to come by.”
“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”
“Delmar is a lovely person and pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure my menagerie was taken care of and sent lots of updates. She also took her own notes about my home and the the pets’ schedules.”
“Shelby is amazing! Very punctual and great at communicating. She did a great job taking care of our cat. She was very open to learning on how to take care of our cat (schedules, meals etc) and was patient with the process.”
About: MY EXPERIENCE// Hi! I’m Jenelle. I am a mom of two children and a fur mom of a dog and love every minute of it! I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid! Always had a big heart for animals and enjoyed having them around. I’ve helped family and friends & love to help others. I always take what pet owners request to heart. If a pet needs a certain routine or specific introduction in the home, I am very open and understanding. Animals are like people and in new environments or around new people, they need time to get comfortable. That being said, I want your pets to feel comfortable and safe under my care. I do not accept aggressive dogs/or dogs who had a biting history in past. I learned so much becoming a dog mom and I especially understand the anxiety and stress one can have when going through life with a fur baby. That being said, I'm here to relieve your worries! Whether it's drop-ins, taking them out on walks, or house-sitting , your pets are in great hands! MY SCHEDULE// I am currently a caregiver for my mom and my daily schedule is very much open and able to support any time frame. Looking forward to supporting you and your families needs for your pet(s). WHY ME?// Each pet will become a member of the family. You can trust that your pets will be given the care love and attention they deserve. SERVICES// ** house sitting Unfortunately, at this time, I do not stay at my client's home overnight.

“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog trainer, although I am not super specialized or advanced in my training techniques - I firmly believing in training, queues, patience and love rather than control. I will care for your babies like they are my own. I have experience dealing with shy/anxious pets to friendly/high energy. I make an effort to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of and safe <3 Open to meet ups first or chatting on the phone to get acquainted and ensure alignment. I do a lot of free-lance, part-time work and do not do much most weekends, so I will have a lot of time to provide care and walks throughout the day. I am a very active person so I do not have trouble keeping up and staying moving. Open to recurring scheduling for the next 4 weeks. I have a fenced yard, garage area, and plenty of open space for fur babies to run around. I know a good amount of walking routes as well. I am open to coming into your space, and making sure the pet is feeling comfortable and at home. Dog-walking is my speciality, and I will do my best to ensure the best care is provided, as well as ensuring appropriate leash behavior! For pet-sitting, my greatest focus is ensuring enough walks and movement and interaction throughout the day.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
“We needed a last-minute sitter, and are so lucky to have found Kara! She treated our high-energy bulldog with lots of love and was incredibly respectful of our home. I will hope to rebook with Kara again and again and would highly recommend her to other families looking for a trustworthy, dependable sitter. She is also very quick to communicate and made sure to keep us updated with photos. Perfect experience!”
About: Ive had dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, chickens and many other so im well versed in taking care of many different animals with varying needs and diets. i currently work part time in retail and go to one of the local community colleges and am looking for extra income throughout the week. I can easily follow any instructions given on how to care for your pet including feeding, walking, cleaning and hanging out with them just so they have some quality enrichment for the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nimbus
Michael was wonderful with our high energy 8 month old puppy! He came over and met her/us a few days before and walked Sadie. He is experienced in dog training and it showed! He took great care of her here at our house for the day. He kept us updated with texts and pictures that were so appreciated! It was our first time leaving her all day and it was such a relief and we were able to relax knowing she was doing well. We also have a car that he kept a eye on so there weren't scuffles and he could be fed too. We will absolutely use Michael again and would recommend him for others needing a sitter
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. 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nimbus is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,777 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nimbus. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
