About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

About: I’ve had the joy of growing up with both cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. I also have experience with reptiles from my younger years as a dedicated reptile enthusiast. I believe every animal deserves attentive care and genuine affection, and I’m passionate about providing both. In addition to general pet care, I have hands-on experience raising puppies, including helping others with potty training and basic routines, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve looked after elderly pets with special needs, such as a blind Jack Russell who required extra assistance and medication management. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with compassion, patience, and the highest level of care to keep them happy and safe while you’re away. I currently work part time for a delivery company with a flexible schedule to work around my pet care duties and have an open availability throughout the week While caring for your pets in your home, I maintain consistent feeding schedules, prioritize their safety, and ensure they receive regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom needs. I also keep litter boxes and living areas clean and well maintained. Additionally, I provide regular updates after each visit or walk so you can feel confident and informed about your pet’s care.

I have grown up owning dogs my entire life with 20+ years of experience. Currently, I live in a house with a fenced in yard.

My husband is home all day and lets the dogs out in our fenced in yard multiple times a day. I am usually home by 3/4. I have weekends off. Everything is very safe and my yard is fenced in.

About: I grew up in a household with no less than 3 dogs at anytime. As an adult I have kept my house full of pet footsteps. I work full time during the school year but my husband is retired military and home. He is as much a dog lover as I am. I have a large fenced in yard. My lanai is screened in with a doggy door that makes access incredibly easy. I have two of my own pups that are overly friendly and love other pups.

About: Our family currently has a Labrador, guinea pig, Crested Gecko and fish. I have raised our dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust to come into your home and care for your pets. I also understand that it can be difficult for your pets and will give them lots of love. When caring for your pets I will always respect your wishes and direction. I am typically able to accommodate you and your pets needs with in a days notice and may be available for a same day drop in visit. I will keep your pet leashed and in your neighborhood while walking and give them love and attention once we are back at your home.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Nokomis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Nokomis on Rover is $21.4 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,695 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Nokomis. 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 Nokomis 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.

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 Nokomis 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Nokomis with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
