“Katelyn was very conscientious and followed all instructions to a “T.” I did not have to worry about anything, as she communicated often and asked questions if she was unsure about something. The house was spotless when we returned! I would not hesitate to have her sit our boys again.”
“This is our first time using rover. Karen I is an absolute angel! What a professional through and through. She kept us up to date with daily reports on how our pups were doing and got along with them perfectly. Our pups can be a bit high maintenance but no concern for Karen I. THE BEST! She took great care of our pups and our house too. The complete package ! We can’t wait to book her again! 6 stars if I could give them.”
“Cannot convey the level of gratitude we have for having Libah stay at our home with our 2 pups. They are definitely not the easiest so her confidence and communications allowed us to enjoy our journey with out concern. They were excited to see us but were so content when we returned. I cannot say thank you enough to the level or professionalism, honesty and trust we had. THANKS Libah!!!!”
“Nadina is a great pet sitter. She is reliable, friendly and very confident with animals. Our 3 animals seemed happy and content upon our return. The house was clean and tidy. She was attentive and followed all of our instructions well. We certainly would request her services again and so appreciate her time and efforts with making our pets feel loved.”
“Carrie is awesome!! My dogs can be weary of new people but they fell in love with her at first sight. Carrie sent me pictures and this really put my mind at ease! She is also skilled in working with animals who have medical needs and require medication. This also made me feel really good and she will be the sitter I choose from now on!”
About: Anyone who knows me would first say, I have so much passion for Dogs and cats. They will be so well cared for in my hands. I work for home about 3 hours a day so I have plenty of time for my passion. Your pet will have the best day with me. I have a large screened in yard and we will take walks on leash as you would like. Or if I watch them at your home whatever you would like me to do I will do.
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! Stephanie took such wonderful care of Stanley and our cats, sent us sweet updates while we were away, and made it so easy for us to relax knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. She even brought them treats. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which was so incredibly thoughtful and far beyond anything we expected. She truly went above and beyond in every possible way. We will absolutely book her again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Debra was great with our two dogs for a five-night in-home stay while we were away. She is very professional and experienced. Debra provided daily updates and photos which was so appreciated. She brought in our mail and an even a large package we were not expecting to be delivered while we were away.”
“Erin was great! Very easy to deal with and responsible. She has a good personality and really connected quickly with our dogs. She sent updates throughout the days and sent a video of the dogs having fun!! We will use her again!”

“Although Jonathan (Jack) has a profile that is new to Rover, he does a FANTASTIC job in caring for animals and has tons of previous experience. Jack watched our 2 dogs in our home while we were away for several days. He was communicative, let us know how the dogs were doing and updated us with photos. We were able to take our vacation with peace of mind that our dogs were being well cared for, and it certainly showed when we returned home to get back into our normal routine. We will certainly rebook with Jack in the future!”

My responsibilities included cleaning, taking them out for potty breaks, feeding them, playing with them, and ensuring they felt comfortable and loved. Currently, I have my own two dogs, a chihuahua miniature pincher mix named Vixey and pitbull terrier mix named Scrappy. I would love to care for your special needs pets, seniors, or any other animals. I can also babysit them overnight and take them for walks of up to three miles.

During their stay, I will provide appropriate feeding based on their dietary needs and offer plenty of affection and companionship to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s important to note that while I deeply care for the pets, I do not offer house-sitting services at my own residence. Instead, I am fully available to provide house-sitting services at the client’s home, ensuring that their pets are well-cared for in a familiar setting.

I believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet. I have lots of excellent references too. I have 2 sweet Pit Bulls of my own and absolutely love this breed of dogs, despite there terrible reputation that we as people have given them. I am used to strong, determined dogs that love to chase anything with a tail!! I also love cats, little dogs and ones that just want some love and cuddles on the couch!! I recently staryed my own pet transportation company and am taking a break from being on the road for the last 6 months to be home for the holidays!

I have pretty flexible hours but usually available mornings, evenings and weekends and am able to accept last minute bookings to accommodate your specific needs I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs at home.

About: I’ve always had such a soft spot for animals! I’m naturally loving, patient, and nurturing. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat yours just like my own! I want you to feel at ease knowing your fur baby is getting all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I work from 9-5 on Mondays and Thursdays. 12-6 on tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m available on the weekends and any day before and after work! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. They are like our kids & our best friend. I will walk, play, & give lots of love. I'm currently working part time so I'm available most days and weekends. Very flexible & dependable. Loyal, loving and friendly. Dogs are my favorite part of the day! I am very respectful and trustworthy. I follow all directions needed for clients home. I create safe, happy, engaging, and loving environment. Will also train basic skills.
“Fantastic help with a last minute travel need and my puppies are too small to board as they await vaccines. She sent me tons of pictures and videos and put my mind at ease. I will definitely book again.”
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
About: I’ve always loved animals and learning about them since I was little. I’ve had many pets including farm, and house pets. I’ve spent lots of time researching their care and behavior. I’ve had lots of dogs. My oldest is 16 so I have senior experience and I raised puppies from a bottle without a mother to care for them. I always enjoyed training dogs and learning the best practices to enrich my pets. I’ve also done research in dog grooming as I always bathed and did nail cuts at home for my dogs and other pets. Ever since I was little I always wanted to work in the animal care industry either training, grooming, or care so I really do enjoy pet care and have lots of experience to go along with it. :) I can work nights mornings or anytime of day as I currently don’t have any thing taking my time and have a very flexible schedule. When I care for pets in my clients home, I follow their instructions carefully to make sure the pet’s routine and environment is the same or to my best ability too. I ensure the home remains secure while I’m there, including locking doors and gates after visits. I provide companionship, walks, feeding, and any medication as directed, and I respect the pet’s space and comfort level. I also send updates and photos regularly so owners know their pets are in good hands. I think communication is very important and will always respect my clients boundaries and rules for their home and pets. The better information and instructions I’m given the better I will do as I want to do what’s best for my client and their pet. When I care for a pet I always make it my top priority to have my phone on me incase of emergency’s or if my client wants to get in touch with me for any reason or updates on their pets.
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nokomis
Erin does a great job watching our dogs and house while we are out of town. We’ve booked with Erin for eight trips over the past year and a half, plus several drop-ins. We’ve always been very satisfied. She sends pictures and videos every day, even utilizing effects such as slo-mo video and Bokeh. She spends a lot of time with the dogs, who appear to be enjoying themselves immensely. When we return from our travels, the house is spotless. We recommend Erin highly!
I am so happy that we found Kari! She has been so great with our dog Benny, from the very first message she was super friendly, flexible and happy to help. Like most, I have a really hard time leaving Benny alone and have anxiety about it and moving to a new city I wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone to care for Benny but Kari was the perfect person. Kari stayed overnight at our house with Benny while we were out of town and she took great care of him and she left the house cleaner than it was when we left!. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone.
If I could give Stephanie a 10 or 20 star rating I would. She took such amazing care of my 3 senior citizen pups and kitty Layla. She did 4 nights overnight and it was, for the first time in a very long time, a stress free trip up north. Stephanie kept me updated, helped with meds for my one dog, even prepared homemade food for the dogs. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t trust her more with my home and my animals. She loved my animals like they were her own. I highly recommend Stephanie and Cant thank her enough.
Debra did a fantastic job caring for my babies! She was very good at communicating and sending me updates while I was gone. She stayed in my house and left it tidy when she left. Debra has cared for our babies 2 times now and I trust her to keep them in the future.
Tracey was a terrific sitter and friend to Maizee. Even before we left, she made time to come by and get to know our dog. We appreciated the time she took to come by. She arrived early on the day of our departure which alleviated any concerns before we left and made the transition easy. Tracey kept in touch with us and followed our instructions exactly. She developed a friendship with our pet. The house was neat and clean when we arrived home. Tracey seems to enjoy pet sitting and cares about the pet she is with. We will definitely call on Tracey again when we need a caring and attentive sitter.
Katelyn was very conscientious and followed all instructions to a “T.” I did not have to worry about anything, as she communicated often and asked questions if she was unsure about something. The house was spotless when we returned! I would not hesitate to have her sit our boys again.
Joanna was wonderful with Izzy. She spent tons of time with her and Izzy really seemed to like her. Joanna kept in constant communication with photos and kept the house neat and clean. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Joanna and Izzy said hope to see you soon!
Amanda was incredible with our pets! She took them on walks and sent us multiple pictures of them while we were gone. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets while house sitting I strongly recommend reaching out to her! I know I will next time we need a sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Nokomis is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $133 per night.

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 Nokomis 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 Nokomis 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 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!
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 Nokomis. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
