“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.”
About: I have worked as an office coordinator in a veterinary clinic when I was younger and have always had a extreme LOVE for animals. We have always had pets in our family and would love to show some love to yours, while bringing you peace of mind. I am not currently working, so very flexible when it comes to schedules. I can do a last minute pop in, if need be. Happy to help out in what ever manner you might need. We live in a townhouse, so if your fur baby is here, I will have them on a leash at all times. I love walking, so if they need lots of excersize, that is what I would do with them. We do have a dog and a cat in our home.
“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”
“Holly and Jace watched my 2 dogs while I was away for a business trip, they took such great care of them and I was able to focus on work and not stress out about anything at home. They were great at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures! When I came home, the house was clean and my pups were happy and healthy. I will definitely trust them to watch my dogs again in the future!”
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.

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 10 years now since before I moved out of Alaska. I have experience will all types of dogs, cats, and even other animals as well. My friends and family have relied on me to care for their animals ranging from a few days to even a couple of months. I also have experience in training puppies as well as I have two very well trained dogs of my own. I currently work full time but, living in Sarasota, it’s the off season so I have plenty of time during the mornings, afternoons and evenings. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work with you!! For my pets we have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around and play. I have a 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog that is currently being trained and a 9 year old Rottweiler that is trained as an emotional support animal. We always make sure their basic hygiene is kept up with and they have at least some activity with us every day whether it’s going on a walk or throwing a toy for them.

“Laura was an excellent sitter. Jax was well cared for and looked happy in his pics. She took him to the park, which he loves, and slept with her, which I didn’t think he would do. Laura also left my place immaculate! Vacuumed, cleaned the fridge, emptied the dishwasher, washed the sheets and towels. An excellent house guest and sitter.”

About: I have 10 years of experience as a Vet Tech and am currently in Venice. Spending my early childhood years learning animal husbandry with my family’s many beloved rescued Rottweilers easily solidified my passion for exceptional pet care!

I find comfort and purpose in caring for animals, and I plan my days around their needs so they feel calm, loved, and secure. I respect each pet’s unique preferences and routine. I keep a calm, clean environment, offer consistent feeding, hydration, and medication when needed, and ensure they get plenty of affection and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s world familiar and stress-free.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nokomis
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nokomis is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $131 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 October 2026, there are 1,007 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
