“Jacqueline is absolutely amazing! I had her do drop-in visits for my pets while I was out of town for a weekend, and she did such a great job. She always sent me plenty of pictures during her visits, and I could tell from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable with her. When I got home, everyone was happy and clearly well taken care of. It was really nice being able to enjoy my trip and know that my pets were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and she will for sure be my go-to sitter for future trips!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily.

About: What sets me apart is the deep-rooted experience and love I have for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, from walking neighborhood pups to helping with family pets. I’ve also fostered dogs, which taught me how to care for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs—from playful puppies to more reserved or nervous dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or extra patience and comfort, I provide care that’s attentive, loving, and tailored to them. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently working a full time internship, 9-5 pm during the weekdays. I'm available after 5pm for evening care/walks, and have more availability on the weekends! In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I stick closely to their normal routines—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it's keeping things tidy, giving lots of affection, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, I’m all about giving personalized care that matches each pet’s needs. Communication is important to me too, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: Ive been assisting in taking care of pets since I can remember. My family never went without having furry companions in the house but ive been helping care for them since i was six. Id help my parents bath, walk, and play with the dogs as well as it was my chore to clean up all the dog droppings in the backyard. I've also had to help in giving heartworm, flea, and tick medicine as well as any other specific meds when theyd get an infection or get sick. The best part of having dogs was that I always had a friend. Someone who loved me unconditionally, watched over me, and always showered me in slobbery tennis balls and wet kisses. I currently work full time and my hours are typically the same. I am normally away from home from 7am to 5pm but typically have Fridays and Saturdays and am available in the evenings. I have a larged fenced in back yard and I live near the water so we'll have awesome walks. I also live very close to multiple dog parks. I live with my daughter and husband and we are all dog lovers. My daughter will want to shower your furry friend with kisses and hugs and acceptable treats all the time and my husband has always had dogs his whole life just as myself. We currently dont have any pets right now.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was 10 years old, I have trained my dogs before with good mannerisms. I am open to learn some new skills with high maintenance dogs or cats and even senior pets as well! I love walking with my dogs and playing with them! Still living at home, I work in the mornings and get home around 10-12 and I take care of my dogs then. I just take them outside, let them run around, bring them inside, give them some treats and let them do their own thing. They are always with me in my room since it’s just me in the house, or whenever I go out I sometimes take them with me! But typically, I just stay inside and do some cleaning, cooking and school work as well. I make sure to take them outside as soon as I get home, and let them back in after 5-10 minutes since it’s hot outside. I just spend quality time with them, play with them and take them for walks in the evening

“Mykeirah was amazing! Prompt, caring, proactive. It was my first time using rover for a sitter and she certainly set the bar. Kept the cat areas very clean and tidy, made sure they were played with fed, and even left them a little gift. I’m so grateful for her. Thanks Mykeirah! Will hire her again”

I can also be available on some Wednesday’s and holidays I’m open to any times I will care for your pet as if they are my own fur baby and will provide what is needed to take the best care of your pet
About: I have had a dog for the first 15 years of my life. Also, being a triplet, I have dog-sit both my brother and sisters dogs as well as a lot of my other friends dogs over the past couple of years. I love watching dogs and can’t wait to watch your dog in the future! I work from home everyday so taking care of your pet won’t be an issue. I don't have a pet as well so I love having the company of an animal during the days and nights. I have no problem letting pets on couches or beds. I love to be petting pets whenever I can throughout the day and really enjoy the presence they bring. My golden retriever passed a couple years ago so I really like having the company of a pet. Maybe soon I’ll have one of my own!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
