“Kai was excellent with our two dogs. We were gone during tropical storm Debbie and she had everything under control. The house was in great shape when we got home and she had even offered to stay an extra night if our flights were delayed. We will definitely hire Kai again!”
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“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!!!!”
“Sharon is very conscientious & responsible. Communication was great on the front end & during our trip. Most importantly, our cat Roscoe was quite happy, as evidenced by the photos Sharon sent & his demeanor when we returned! Sharon also kindly watered our outdoor plants, which looked better when we returned than when we left. She also left our home immaculate. Great pet sitter!!”
“Words can’t express how grateful to have been referred to Angela for our Doberman, Axels care. He is calm and content when we return home from weekend trips or week long travel. That makes us extremely grateful and confident that he received the best of care. Thank you Angela, you are the best!”
“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.”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”
“Holly and her husband were amazing!! My dog has never been left with anyone but us and he can be very intimidating. They handled him with grace and pure love for 4 days! I have since rebooked and I highly recommend them! I couldn’t be more satisfied.”
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.
About: I love animals. I understand how much work they can be but also know how much love they provide. Whether you work long hours or travel for work, let me help. I love being outside, the park and the beach. I can throw a ball or snuggle with the best. I have no problem giving baths and grooming needs. I am responsible, reliable, punctual, loving, and caring. I can walk to your house downtown.I have no problem coming to your home and caring for your pets. I have a pooch of my own. It is easier for me to come to you. I would love to be a part of your doggy routine whether it is daily, weekly, monthly, or as you need it. I am here for your convenience! Currently only working part time. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I can do multiple drop ins in a day or stay at your house to help in whatever way your fur baby needs! My biggest concern is the welfare of your animals. I don’t want to be without food or clean water and your fur babies shouldn’t have to either.
“Debra was very responsive when I reached out. She was organized and took great care of Abby. The house was immaculate and everything was in great order. Sent me a few pictures of Abby and checked in before bed and in the am. Very much appreciated her helping us out.”
About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with real hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. At one point, I had four cats and one dog at home, so I’m no stranger to multi-pet households or complex routines! My sweet special-needs cat, Tiny, required twice-daily medication, probiotics, and a special IBD-friendly diet, so I’m confident with senior and medical care. And my beloved corgi Beans, who recently passed, gave me 12.5 beautiful years of experience with senior dogs, mobility issues, and lots of corgi cuddles. 🐾 Right now, my world revolves around my two cats, Chester (a goofy dog-like boy) and Domino (a king with firm boundaries—unless he’s feeling snuggly 😽). They’re both featured in my profile pics because I genuinely adore them and treat them like royalty. Outside of pet care, I work in an elementary school as a first grade teacher! I’ve been a vegetarian for 20+ years because I truly love and respect all animals, and I’m currently looking to spend more time around pets while I’m not teaching during the day. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or needs special care, I’ll treat them like family—because that’s what they are. 💕🐶🐱 During the school year I am available after 4:00pm on weekdays and anytime during the weekends! I am available whenever during the summer ! I am happy to drop-in during these hours! When I’m doing drop-in visits, my #1 priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I always follow your care instructions to the letter—whether that’s meal portions, meds, favorite toys, or specific potty routines. I believe pets thrive when their normal routines are respected, so I do my best to keep everything familiar and stress-free. I treat each home with the same respect and care I’d want someone to show in mine. I’m mindful about security—making sure doors are locked, alarms are set (if needed), and pets are safely inside before I leave. I also love sending updates and cute photos, so you know your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away! I know it takes a lot of trust to invite someone into your home to care for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. Your pet is part of your family—and during our visits, they’re part of mine too. 💕🐾
“Megan is a lifesaver! We have never left our puppy before and wanted to travel for our daughter’s graduation in NYC. We never had to worry for a minute. So grateful she stayed at our home with both dogs. We highly recommend Megan to home sit.”
About: I have been involved with foster dogs for many years and managed health issues, resource guarding, and leash training. I am comfortable with the needs of senior pets and can lift my dog Lilly at 70+lbs to prevent joint damage. I also went through the potty training phases and am no stranger to frequent walks or surprise messes! Additionally I am familiar with basic training through positive reinforcement and meeting activity needs for many different breeds! I am a student with the whole summer off, so I’m able to pay around-the-clock attention to your pets. I’m up early in the morning for breakfast and walks and would love to spend time with your four legged friend. I live an active lifestyle so I am capable of providing exercise and playtime for energetic dogs! I’m also familiar with seniors and can relax with some older companions and assist with frequent potty breaks.
“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”

Erin was fantastic! We we're trying to calm our dog's nerves with having someone watch him in his own home. Not gonna lie that was hard for us having somebody we didn't know in our home, but she was very respectful of our home and left it just as clean as it was. The best part of all... We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. Erin was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. If any concern arose with Teddy or the house at all she contacted us immediately. We look forward to working with Erin again 😊
I can’t say enough about how happy I am with the care that Tracy gave to Bama. I was so nervous about going away because Bama has so much anxiety and has never had to stay with anyone. Before going away, Tracy came by for a visit with Bama that left me totally at ease about leaving her. Tracy kept me informed on Bama’s well being. Letting me know of her progress and how well she was adapting. Tracy sent pics along the way. I felt that Bama was doing very well and getting lots of love along the way. Tracy is an amazing sitter and I will leave Bama with her anytime! Thank you Tracy!❤️
William was a fantastic dog sitter! When our travel plans didn’t go as expected, he was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a stressful situation so much easier. He took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend him and would gladly book with him 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nokomis on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,027 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nokomis. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
