“Melody is a fantastic cat sitter. My skittish male cat warmed right up to her. Melody stayed with him for two days. Seeing the pictures of my happy cat reinforced my confidence in Melody. Melody is punctual and respectful of both the client’s time and space. I highly recommend her.”
“Spencer is very thorough when following instructions with feedings, walks, schedules, routines, etc. She is delightfully positive, communicative, and inquisitive. There wasn't a moment that I was worried about my furbabies while I was on vacation. Thank you Spencer!”
“John was amazing. Helped out last minute, was full of love for my sweet doggy, communicated clearly, and was super dedicated in how often he checked on my doggy. Look no further for your animal sitting needs!”
“Ally was on time and communicative throughout the booking and pet sitting process. She went over and above to understand our pet’s needs. Moreover, she listened to our specific concerns and was very accommodating . Will definitely use her again!”
“Lilliana was 15 minutes early & was absolutely fabulous! ! Not only is she sweet & kind, she truly love animals & I had zero concerns while I was out!! Makes it very comforting to leave knowing our pups are being cared for & loved. So happy to have found her!!”
“Kinan was exceptional. He took great care of our two pups, made sure the house was spotless when we arrived home, and helped us with a very big project. Can't recommend him enough, and plan to work with him again!”
“Rachel was amazing! She sent regular photo, video, and text updates while I was gone and kept my two dogs happy and well exercised. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who tends to be nervous in general but even more so when I’m away. My house was clean and tidy when I came home with everything as I had left it. I would recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a loving, respectful sitter for their fur babies!”
“Evan was a great house/dog sitter for my 12 year old Aussie!! He sent several pictures so I know she was getting lots of the love and attention! I appreciated that he asked questions to make sure he was taking proper care of her. All of this made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the weekend. He also left the house very clean showing respect for my property. I hope to use Evan again!!”
About: My family has always had 1-2 dogs, and I have been watching other people's dogs for 6 years. My family once had 4 cats and farm animals, so l am also experienced with other animals. I love going on hikes and walks. My clients are always happy with my caretaking, often asking me to watch their animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at you house, as long as it is clean, but l am also able to watch your pets) at my house, as long as they get along with my families' dog. :) I have watched many types and breeds of dogs (doodle mix, Chihuahua mix, Australian cattle dog, etc) I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to give your dogs attention, hikes, or whatever they need. I will only not be available June 8-19, and after mid August my availability will change. I have a fenced yard, and one friendly, smallish dog. I live on a ranch, so beyond the dance there is plenty of space for the dog to run around if they are okay off leash. I also have one cat, so it is preferable that your pet is cat friendly, but if not I may be also to make it work.
“I’ve only had one experience with a local boarding facility, that was not a good experience. I was extremely nervous about leaving my baby (let’s be serious, they’re our children) with a stranger again. I chose Rover since house sitting was also an option, my thinking was it would be less traumatic for my dog being at home. Sophie came for a visit a week before my trip, she instantly put me at ease. 😊 My dog was sick the day before I left, we had a little vet visit and he was given some medication. Sophie had no problems with giving him his medication, giving me updates and sending me pictures throughout my trip. She is super sweet, took great care of my baby and my home. I would highly recommend Sophie to take care of your fur babies, and well as your home.”
“Allison was so great with Noodle! She was so chill and kind, and Noodle immediately connected with her! She was also so communicative and accommodating with my last minute dog sitting request. Thanks, Allison :)”
About: I've had dogs (sometimes up to 9) for my entire life and believe I understand them and how they communicate. I've gotten into dog training and have been training my own pup ever since we got her (she is over 6 now). I believe in positive rewards and that pups are part of the family! As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule offers a ton of flexibility to give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve! Because I am home throughout the day, I can easily accommodate last-minute requests, mid-day potty breaks, flexible drop-off and pick-up times, and frequent walks. Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and will seamlessly blend into our warm, active family routine. Whether you need a consistent daycare spot or occasional check-ins, my open availability means I'm ready to adapt to whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. Constant communication with dogs about their behavior and lots of positive reinforcement. I want dogs to understand what I want and need just as much as I believe I need to understand what they want and need.
“Emidio was amazing!!! Very communicative and timely!! I could tell that myla and oso got all the love they needed. Was like we never even left for the weekend! Will definitely have Emidio back :)”
“Sam took excellent care of our dogs and home while also keeping an eye on our other small creatures. You can book with confidence with Sam. Super communication! She is very easy to meet and sent us updates and pics. We came home to happy dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Allison was very flexible and accommodating as we were booking on relatively short notice and were new to the area. She was very communicative and took great care of our dog and cat the entire 2 weeks she was in our home. Would definitely recommend!”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carson City is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carson City
Spencer was great! She brought her best friend Annie with her and there was immediate friendship among all 3 dogs. We adopted a very active rescue dog from Texas just a few days before so Spencer had her hands full. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nights and treated our home and our dogs very well. We will ask her again, if she will have us!
Melody was great. She came over and met us beforehand and clearly was comfortable with our two bigger dogs. She was very communicative about our expectations and specifics about the dogs’ needs while staying with the pups. We were able to trust her in our home and will definitely rebook her. She is a great find!!!
Nothing had work out due to my work situation but Olivia maintained communication. I haven't really finish the profile yet I was in hurry to introduce my cats to outside world..they've been with me since divorce so I don't know how they react towards others..1 mom 3 babies all girls. I'm testing the water on this site and find it actually might work if I do decided to go out town.
John is an incredible pet sitter. My pup has a lot of special needs and big feelings and John brought just the type of calm energy and attention to detail to keep my mind at ease and Ms. Mica happy while I was away. He’s also very communicative, kind, and even fixed a board on my deck out of the blue. If I could give 6 out of 5 stars I would.
I was nervous to use Rover for the first time. Carol came in and meet us feel very relaxed with the idea. She did a fantastic job was very flexible. The house looked just like we left it. Our pets loved her for the very minute that they met her. She did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. I would easily trust her with watching any pet again. Very dependable.
Monique was amazing while she spent the night at our place while watching our husky Spice. She kept us o Up to date on when she was leaving and entering the house. Spice has separation anxiety and Monique was able to calm Spice down and make her feel relaxed. Her communication was a delight as she kept us up to date with pics of Spice.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carson City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carson City on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 865 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carson City. 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 Carson City 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 Carson City 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
