About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.
“We are so pleased with our pet sitter! She is reliable, caring, and gives our cat and dog so much love and attention while we are away. We always receive regular updates and cute photos, which gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are always in great hands. We come home to happy, relaxed pets and a clean home. We HIGHLY recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. She is simply the best.”

“Ryleigh was awesome. She was always on time and gave my girl Bandee lots of love. Bandee always looked happy and content in the pictures that were sent. I will definitely use Ryleigh again to take care of Bandee. Thank you Ryleigh!!”

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.
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: 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.
“Denise is a WONDERFUL! This was actually the second time booking with her, I missed the window to leave a review after my first booking with her. Denise is incredibly kind, through and truly gifted with animals. I have two very shy cats that often hide under the bed when people come over, but not with her, they come out and visit with her making sure she actually lays eyes on them before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her services and would book again!”

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.
“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: With 9 years of pet care experience, I offer personalized attention that truly sets me apart. I specialize in gentle, patient care for puppies and provide compassionate, tailored support for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet’s unique needs means they receive more than just basic care—they get a loving and attentive companion while you’re away. This commitment makes me a trusted and reliable choice for pet owners seeking exceptional care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by dedicating specific times for feeding, walking, play, and rest. I prioritize consistency to ensure pets feel secure and loved every day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I balance their needs with my schedule to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the week. This routine flexibility allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and health requirements, making sure they always receive the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment whether caring for pets in my home or yours. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, keep spaces clean and secure, and maintain open communication with clients. In my home, pets have a calm, supervised area to relax and play, while at clients’ homes, I respect their space and ensure all instructions are followed precisely. This flexible approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved, no matter the setting or service provided.
“This was our first time leaving the animals for this long and the regular updates from Sandra made it all so much easier. She came over to meet the animals before we went out of town, and was always communicative and timely when she was coming to sit. Super appreciate it. Will be hoping to book her again!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.
“Thank you Tessa. You did a great job walking Luna 4 times yesterday. I love that you text me and sent pics every time. I was so impressed and confident with your professionalism and we look forward to our next booking with you. Very Highly Recommended.”

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.

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.
