“Allison Nicole V is a true gem! She came in and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my furbaby Cujo in her very capable hands. Cujo had just lost his sidekick and best friend, Gunner Butter just two weeks before I was to leave on my vacation. I didn't know how he would be for Allison Nicole V, but she took excellent of Cujo! She went way beyond the call of duty on this pet sitting adventure. She left everything clean and showed professionalism throughout her stay with my little guy. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker or boarding your babies! I am hoping to go on a trip in May and I hope she will be available to come into my home again and take care of my precious baby. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave me. I really don't think anyone else would have done the amazing job she did, knowing I chose such a wonderful caregiver while I was gone.”

About: Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of forming close bonds with a diverse array of dog and cat companions. This firsthand experience has given me valuable insight into the unique needs and behaviors of different breeds and personalities. Whether it's providing enriching playtime for energetic pups or offering soothing companionship to shy or senior cats, I understand the individualized care required to ensure their well-being and happiness. My deep connection with these beloved animals has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy needed to properly care for them, making me a reliable and compassionate caretaker for your cherished pets. As a dedicated high school senior, I am passionate about pet care and currently work part-time in a pet sitting role as well as a bather and brusher. I am available from 5:30 am to 6 am and from 11 am to 8 pm, ensuring that I can provide attentive care during the early morning and throughout the day.

When it comes to caring for my own pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else. I provide them with love, attention, and compassionate care, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met. Additionally, I understand the importance of discipline and training, as I have successfully addressed and corrected challenging behaviors through patient and extensive training methods. In caring for other people's pets, I apply the same level of love, compassion, and dedication that I give to my own animals. I am committed to fulfilling every request made by the pet owner, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same standard of care that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it's adhering to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, providing regular exercise, or addressing any behavioral issues, I approach each pet with empathy and respect, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for them.

I am dedicated to building trust with both the pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and a sense of security while they are in my care.

Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, specific walking routes, or house rules, I ensure your routines are maintained exactly as you want them to keep your pet's stress levels zero. • In Your Home: Because I focus heavily on house sitting, my priority is maintaining a secure environment. I double-check locks, secure gates, and keep a highly attentive eye on your pet's body language and well-being in their own comfortable surroundings. • In My Home: When I do care for pets in my home, they receive constant, vigilant supervision. I keep the environment calm, organized, and closely managed so that every animal feels safe and gets the personal attention they deserve.

“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”

“Nicolette house/pet sat for us for 4 days. She came over to meet Lucy and Tanner a few days before our trip. She asked so many great questions, took notes and was very thorough. I was impressed right away! I felt confident she was going to take good care of L&T ,as well as, our house. And she did that and then some!!

About: In the 12 years of caring for dogs I’ve gone from dogs as tiny and as chihuahuas and dogs as mighty as the Bull Mastiff. I’ve come across a variety of ages, energy levels, personalities, different medical needs, and temperaments in dogs.

I give my dogs food later in the night, every 2-4 hours I will allow my dogs to take bathroom breaks, my dogs are usually always with me where I go through out my home or in the backyard, in situations I can’t supervise them they are placed in the crate to keep them as safe as possible. Excersize to help maintain social skills are given as often as necessary to keep the dog acclimated to daily life outside of the home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santo Tomas. 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 Santo Tomas 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 Santo Tomas 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 Santo Tomas 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.
