About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I understand how much your furry friends mean to you. I’m a proud pet parent to my 8-year old Chihuahua mix, Sam, and my 14-year old tabby cat, Mia, so I know firsthand the importance of ensuring pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and elder dogs/cats. I have experience administering medication for dogs with special needs. I know older babies need a little more patience and a gentler touch. Whether your pet needs companionship, daily walks, or special care, I’m here to treat them like family. With my extensive experience and deep passion for animals, you can trust that your beloved pets are in caring and capable hands. Let’s make their time away from you as enjoyable as possible! I work full time but am available to care for your furry friends after 4:30 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Whether it's a quick check in, a walk, or some quality playtime, I'd love to keep your pets happy and cared for while you're away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take an attentive approach while respecting their space and preferences. I stick closely to their established routines, ensuring their pets feel secure and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, walks, or cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being and happiness, just as I do with my own pets. I know every animal is different, so I take time to get to know them and their preferences.
“Payson is an absolute gem! She is so caring, loving and attentive with our dog. You can clearly tell she loves dogs and all animals really. She provided lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciate. She even went above and beyond when our dog had an accident in the house too. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away, especially with her background in vet care. We’re so glad we found Payson to help take care of our dog when we’re away!”
About: What sets me apart is reliability, patience, and a calm approach with every dog I care for. Being retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets consistent attention instead of rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine and taking the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m especially good with dogs that benefit from a steady, relaxed presence, including senior dogs or those that may be a little anxious. I also make communication a priority. Pet owners receive regular updates so they always know their dog is safe and well cared for. I limit the number of pets I take so each one gets the attention they deserve. My goal is simple—dependable care you can trust and a positive experience for your dog every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks, visits, and check-ins are something I look forward to each day. Being retired allows me to stay flexible and dependable for pet owners who need regular or last-minute help. I focus on keeping each pet comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality. In a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their own environment. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your home.
“Malia was amazing, I had my cat sitter drop out last minute while i was in another state and Malia made it so smooth and stress free. She sent me the cutest pictures and communicated with me! She took care of everything! ✨😌”
About: I have lived in Tahoe for 25 years and always had my own dog and watched over my friend's dogs throughout the years. My best friend (Maggie - Retriever) passed away 18 months ago and I watch many of my friend's dogs frequently, including an elderly short hair retriever that is battling pancreatic cancer. I work from home and board my friend's dogs as well as check in and walk dogs when owners need help. I do have a number of recent references. I have worked from home for 25 years. I am very active and walk frequently. I am an early morning riser and monitor how often dogs need a walk or outside break. Pets are a part of my daily routine. My home: I have beds set up and recognize different doggy routines, ie need to go on the porch for sun, or need to go out for a break and walk. I have a section on my porch and in the laundry area for their food and water and a special area where I organize all the food, medication, leaches, doggy bags. I have a place by my couches with a large basket with balls, toys and stuffed doggy animals. I watch a number of my friend's dogs, and each has a unique and special routine and they have all come to trust me a look forward to visiting. I stay a bit at some of my friend's houses if they want me to help with house watch, plants, delivery receipt and other home needs while they are traveling and away on extended trips.
“Kinan regularly checks in with my pup and is always consistent and reliable. Definitely safe to say my dog has a new friend, very relieving to be able to trust Kinan with my guy!”
About: Dogs are family, and for me, they are treated as such. No matter physical conditions, trauma, or behavior needs, they deserve to be treated with care and respect. With dogs I've owned, I've worked with epilepsy, cancer, extreme fear and PTSD, bully breeds, various medication requirements, and more. I also teach Veterinary Science to high school students and have a plethora or knowledge on animals science and behavior. I'm happy to assist you and your fluffy family with your needs. Dogs only unfortunately! Severely allergic to cats. I'm currently working full time as a agrigulture science high school teacher, so my hours are cemented on weekdays. Nearly all weekends and school breaks I have free. I have lived with dogs my entire live. As an adult, I've had dogs with severe behavior needs and others with heavy medical needs. I am well versed in physical and mental needs of dogs.
About: I’ve cared for dog, cats, horses, chickens, and snakes for myself, friends and family, and commercial equine facilities for the past 10 years. I owned and operated a dog training company on Las Vegas for 4 years. I currently work part time at an automotive repair company I co-own doing remote secretarial and administrative tasks. I have an extremely open and flexible schedule which allows me ample time to conform to you and your pets schedule. I care for pets in your home, following your schedule to best reduce stress on the animal. I am available for drop ins or multi-day stays with around the clock availability.
“Brittany was awesome taking care of our cats in our home. She was reliable, came in every day, changed their litter, gave them some TLC, and sent us photos and video. We will ask her again next time for sure.”
About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.
“Sandra was an excellent dog sitter for our two big dogs. She was very flexible, responsible and sent lots of photos to make us feel secure about them (and our cats) in our absense. I highly recommend her and Luna and Frosty give her five high paws!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors, doctors, hospital CEOs, friends and family ever since I was 10. All types of dogs and requests and breeds. I’m at home unless I’m running to the grocery store or doing an extracurricular activity. I can be here for your fur babies when you have to be away. 😻 I have a 6ft fenced yard. I have the ability to separate my yard into 6 different areas at nearly half an acre. I have multiple kennels and some with tops and grooming and bathing equipment. In home day care is heavily screened. Your dog will not have access to the inside of my home, kids, or my pets. Large outdoor area and garage kennels will be fully accessible. Kennels are cleaned with vet rescue which kills parvo. Fresh water in kennels and outside. All are properly sanitized. Health and safety is top priority for everyone. Puppies not fully vaccinated will be in a separate area. Walks, my children will be attending if dogs are child friendly.
About: Hi, I’m Annette! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter based in Incline Village with a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded approach to care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well-attended to, whether through neighborhood walks, quality time at home, or overnight companionship. I focus on providing a peaceful and structured environment for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am a great fit for dogs who enjoy a relaxed pace and steady routine, though I may not be the best match for those requiring highly intensive outdoor exercise or off-leash adventure outings. Being based in Incline Village with a flexible consulting schedule means I can get to most local neighborhoods quickly for drop-ins or walks This allows me to be highly responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a last-minute drop-in or staying at your home to keep your pet company during the day. Since I set my own hours, your pet’s routine becomes my priority. I believe pets are family members who deserve the same respect and care as any other resident. In a client’s home, my priority is maintaining the 'status quo' to minimize stress. I start by learning your pet’s specific cues, favorite hiding spots, and unique quirks. Whether it’s following a precise feeding ritual or ensuring the exact level of evening companionship they are used to, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost integrity. I am naturally observant and communicative, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos that capture your pet’s true comfort level.
“Denise was fantastic! She was prompt, babied my cats, dealt with refilling the automatic feeders, and sent great photos every day (including of our reclusive outdoor cat). Our house looked great when we got home. Excellent experience!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carson City
Jessica was able to dog sit out 5 month old puppy Wheeler on just one days notice and she did great 😌. She sent updates and pictures several times a day, and did not hesitate to ask questions about her routines and trainings we are working on. We would definitely use Jessica again!
Evan is honestly a step above. I cannot even describe how much attention, detail, and genuine just good care Evan showed our dog Furby. If you are lucky enough to book Evan you will never want anyone else to watch your dog again. We are forever clients te after our first visit! Thank you!!!
Spencer Ann was so helpful in watching my animals while I was out of town. She communicated consistently and thoroughly and worked around a schedule change in my travel. Took great care of them while I was gone and took lots of pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Jupiter absolutely loved Olivia visiting and taking care of him. She did a magnificent job making sure my boy got his food, potty breaks. Communication was good as she kept me updated with notes and pics of him playing with his toys! Really set my mind at ease while I was away seeing how happy he was under Olivia's care and even left a snack for me in my fridge!

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 Carson City 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Carson City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
