“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.”
“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!”
About: My dog‘s name was Kahlúa. She is 15 year old.I know the first hand experience when it comes to pets, especially senior dogs. My dog went blind with hip mobility and a mild dementia. I made sure to guide her every morning outside for walks and potty. Make sure she was taking her medication and giving her the love that she needed. I would show the same love and kindness and respect to your pets like I did to mine.🫶🏻 I am pretty flexible when it comes to my scheduling. I do live with 2 dogs 3 cats. the home owner is a doctor. Works 10-12Hr shifts 3-4Days a week. I make sure that all the animals are fed. The dogs are taken out to walks while the homeowner is gone. The house live in. The homeowner is a Doctor & Works 10-12Hr shifts 3-4Days a week. but there are times where the Doctor leaves to Convention/Work and I’m left at the house for a week making sure the property and the animals are all taken care of.
“Extremely grateful to have found Katelyn. My dogs love her, and she loves them. She arrives on time, leaves my house in great shape, and it's just an overall positive experience”
About: I've owned many different kinds of pets since I was a child and helped to take care of them. I've also helped take care of pets for friends and family growing up! This will be my full time job, so you can expect 100% dedication and care to your pets! Their well-being and happiness is my top priority! I can easily crate dogs if needed and ensure a safe enclosure for all your pets. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure pets are protected indoors and outdoors!
“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!”
“Sarah was excellent with our dog, Teddy. She was punctual, reliable, and maintained good communication with every visit. She was also super flexible with scheduling and was able to accommodate my last-minute request. Teddy seemed very pleased with her as well. I will definitely use sarah again and would recommend her to anyone who cares for their pets.”
“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: I have taken care of cats for over 10 years. Never a sad fur baby while fur parents are gone. Thank you for your trust. I treat the pets as if they were my own pets. With respect, love, attention and last but not least provide them with company. Thank you. I care for the Pets in the clients home….for the comfort of the pet, as some get home sick when away from their home. Thank you.
“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
“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!”
About: Ever since around 13 years old, I have helped out with family and friend's pets. At 16, when I was able to drive, I started doing overnight house and pet sitting. Additionally, I have helped with shelter adoption events and have experience volunteering at the Nevada Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I work relatively short hours (around 4 hours a day). I do enjoy quality time with my family so typically I will eat at my house or at the house I am staying at. I am going to school but for this coming semester I should be primarily online, so I should be pretty free most days and all nights. I am very happy to do whatever the client decides is best for their own animals, as I am a house sitter and will not be boarding the pets since I have a dog of my own at home.
“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!”
“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
“Kaelan was great with Jaqueline our border collie. And Jackie quickly warmed up to Kaelan. We felt really good about him staying over with Jackie as she gets scared of loud noises in the night. Jackie, a happy 🐕!”
“Alejandra took such great care of our pittie Big Lady. She sent updates and pictures daily. I would highly recommend using Alejandra and we will definitely use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carson City is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carson City
Rachel (and Dylan) is absolutely amazing! We are super protective pet parents so who we feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with is always a major concern but no more. We could not have asked for a more loving and attentive sitter than Rachel. We felt well informed with daily pictures and updates and it was obvious our girls were well cared for and having a great time. Cannot recommend her enough!
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carson City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carson City on Rover is $40 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 850 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.
