About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets, including senior dogs who need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves love, respect, and personalized care. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, basic medications, and lots of affection. I treat every pet like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring and reliable hands. I work tuesday through saturday normally, but in slow season I work since Wednesday to Saturday...I have availability before and after work, as well as on Sundays and Mondays. I'm happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care when my schedule allows. I'll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet receives the attention, love, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I always keep a clean, calm environment, provide plenty of attention and affection, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own.
“Could not ask for a better pet sitter. Even when unforseen circumstances arrose she managed to take care of our beloved animals. And she ensured our puppers had lots of love. We had an issues with our automatic cat feeders malfunctioning and she helped make sure they were fed regardless. And we really appreciate how communicative she was answering any and all questions quickly. We'll definitely be using her services in the future.”
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.
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!
“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: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by and dog-sat family members' pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will treat and love your dog like my own. I understand the anxiety of leaving your fur baby behind when you have to go, and I know what it takes to find someone worthy of caring for one of the most precious parts of your life. My own dog has behavioral challenges, so I understand what it's like to care for dogs with different temperaments. Whether your pup is reactive toward other dogs, pulls on the leash, gets nervous around strangers, or just has their own quirks, I won't be fazed - I'll meet them where they are and work patiently at their pace! My schedule is very flexible right now since I just finished my PhD research and I’m currently figuring out my next steps. Morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins are no problem at all, and weekends are just as open. I can also accommodate same-day and short-notice requests. I will be respectful of your home and leave it just the way I found it. And I'll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands!
“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!”
“This is our second time working with Zara! She again took such good care of our two cats while we were away on a long weekend. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker for their furr babies.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for over 17 years, caring not only for my own beloved dog—who lived a long, happy life to age 17—but also for the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Labradors, Retrievers, a Lab/Pug mix, Border Collies, Huskies, and Corgis. This has taught me how to tune into each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and temperament. What truly sets me apart is the way I care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means active play, a calm check-in, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person entering your home and caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog won’t just be “checked on”—they’ll be cared for with kindness, respect, and real affection. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I especially enjoy morning visits. I’m an early riser, so I’m reliable and available for those important first check-ins of the day—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a calm, positive start for your dog. I plan my schedule around my visits to make sure each pet gets my full attention without feeling rushed. Mornings are a priority for me, but I also have flexibility to accommodate other times when needed. I truly enjoy these visits—they’re something I look forward to. Your dog will be greeted with kindness, patience, and genuine care every time I arrive. How I Care for Pets in Your Home I stop by and check in on your dog while you’re away for the day or weekend, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed as you prefer, and get a potty break, attention, and some companionship. I like to take a little extra time with each dog—whether that’s a bit of play, a short walk, or just sitting with them so they feel relaxed and not alone. I keep my service area within about a 10-minute drive so I can be dependable and on time for every visit. As I get more established, I may also offer overnight stays for small dogs down the road. I treat every dog like they’re my own, because I know how much they mean to you.
About: My best friends in life have been my beloved pets. I've had the privilege of being alongside several amazing dogs their entire lives. I am also a master of kitty cats! Our home has been the domain of several royal creatures throughout the years. I can help provide for your pets and offer them the attention and reliability they need when you're away. Conveniently centered in Carson City, I am available during very flexible hours and I have reliable transportation. Let's meet to see how I can help you and your animals. I am a semi retired artist, so my schedule is quite open. All of my senior animals have crossed the rainbow bridge now and I have love to give! I give animals a feeling of safety and comfort with my warm and protective presence. I am diligent in providing the correct care for a pet with their nutrition and exercise. I will follow your instructions precisely while offering an enjoyable and enriching experience!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carson City
Makayla what's the best cat sitter ever! I was away on vacation for 11 days. She took care of my kitties morning and night. She was careful and able to prevent the sneaky one from sneaking out! She also won my really shy rescue Kitty over and was able to pet her and play with both the kitties sisters the entire time. Makayla was very reliable and sent updates every time she visited. That gave me great comfort and joy. I'd highly recommend her to anyone for their pet care needs.
Rachel was amazing! I was hesitant to get a cat sitter because Onyx is a bit anti social, but Rachel did a wonderful job checking in on him and making sure he had everything he needed. It put my mind at ease on vacation and would 10/10 request her help again. Thank you for caring for my cat and giving me updates on him.
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!
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.
Raquel was very friendly and reliable. She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I felt at ease leaving them in her care. She was great about checking in with questions and sending updates. I would not hesitate to reach out to her for pet sitting in the future.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carson City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carson City. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
