“Kaelin was wonderful with our 3 special needs cats. She sent me updates every day, bonded with our skittish girl, and left the house in good order! We will absolutely be keeping her in mind for future trips!”
“Christine was kind enough to take care of my pup over Christmas while I was away. She communicated so well when she had questions related to my pup or the apartment. She sent me lots of pictures and videos of him while I was away. She kept the apartment nice and clean for me. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Marae was communicative, asked great questions and took care of our crew with no issues! Our dogs needs daily medications and have some household rules that are important to follow…she handled these things like a pro. We will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Nina! I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 7 years, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of pets with different personalities, needs, and medical requirements, and I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, including pets with special health needs. I also have experience caring for anxious pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are in helping them feel safe and secure. Whether I’m doing walks, drop-in visits, or in-home care, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making their time away from you as stress-free and comforting as possible. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets! I am available every day and can offer twice a day drop ins providing enough time for meals, medications (if needed), potty breaks and playtimes! You can expect reliability, respect for your home, and consistent updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy!
“Amy did an amazing job of caring for our 3 dogs and our home! We got timely updates about any issues and just happy pictures too! Will not hesitate to use Amy again for our pet sitting needs!”
About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.
“Sahara was wonderful! Very caring with our pet children and was attentive to their varying needs. She gave frequent updates and pictures and we felt very confident they were in good hands for our long weekend away!”
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
“Jules was amazing with our two boxers, Rocky and Tyson. She was extremely attentive, sent us photos and kept us updated throughout the entire stay. The experience made us feel at ease knowing our home and babies were taken care of and in good hands. Will definitely be using Jules again!”
“Jamie is the best, she’s been our walker for years and is the only one we trust to watch dog overnight.Jamie always sends the best photos and updates! We can always relax when our dog is in her care. Our dog is getting older and has a difficult time with changes in routine, it’s such a relief to know that she is always excited to see Jamie and has a great time while we’re away! She always leaves our home in perfect condition, too. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with our pup, Murphy! She was extremely communicative each day that she was staying with her. She left our house clean and was very attentive to Murphy’s needs. We highly recommend Rebecca and will be happy to hire her again!”
“Aleisa is so sweet and easy to work with! I never have any concerns when I leave my pets in her care. She has great communication and gives so many updates and pictures. She’s always my number one go-to for my pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had a love of dogs forever and a general interest in them. I’ve had many of my own dogs and cared for the dogs of many friends and family members. I have experience with the care of senior dogs and administering medications and I know pet CPR. I am able to do drop ins for your dog every evening from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I can take your dog out of their crate and outside to your yard to run around or I can walk them if they like that better.
About: We have a spacious fenced yard for dogs. Our own three dogs are gentle and enjoy new friends. We have a 2 year old female Doberman, a 5 year old male Husky, and a 7 year old female Yorkie that keeps the other two in line. Each of them are fixed as well. My wife and I work opposite shifts during the week so one of us will be home during the day with a small hour gap between my wife leaving for work and I arriving home from work. Monday evenings is the only day where we are unavailable for drop offs, I have night school. We frequently let our dogs out to enjoy the outdoors as often as they wish. We feed our dogs twice daily, morning and evening. Their water bowls are never empty. We replace toys often as well considering one of our dogs is a super chewer. It would be an absolute honor to care for your beloved four legged best friend. Your feedback is invaluable, so after your pets stay, we kindly ask you to please leave a review. Your input helps us enhance our business when ensuring we provide the absolute best care for your family. Tips are highly encouraged and valued as we always give the highest care for your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zimmer
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior dog! He took such great care of her and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was punctual, attentive, and incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip so we always knew how she was doing. It’s not always easy leaving a senior dog, but his patience, reliability, and genuine care made the whole experience so much easier. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and we would absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend!
Ashly is great - she sends occasional photo updates so you know your babies are doing great and communicates quickly. She also brought in packages (even big bags of dog food and litter trays we didn’t realize were coming while we were gone) and helped keep an eye on the garden while we were out! She was also flexible with us changing dates when we wanted to get home a night sooner to see the babies!
Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!
Deanna is the dog walker we've been looking for! She was able to help us last minute and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect, we never wondered how our pups were doing or what services she was providing. She is our new go-to dog walker, and would recommend anybody.
It was wonderful to be able to go visit family (some are allergic to dogs) and know that Mochi, CiCi and Nala were in good hands. Dajon did a wonderful job and the dogs loved him. He sent pictures which made us happy to see how happy the dogs were. Thank you Dajon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Zimmer is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 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 1,485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zimmer. 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 Zimmer 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 Zimmer 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 Zimmer 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.
