About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. I volunteered in a service dog program called 4Paws4Patriots and in doing so I got to learn so much about dog care/handling. Ever since then, dogs have always owned a piece of my heart, I just had to figure out how to follow my passion. Which led me to American k-9 interdiction (AK9I), where I took a 13 week course and became a professional dog trainer. I now have three dogs and own my own dog training business (Big Paws Protection). I have owned a Siberian husky, German Shepard, and an Alaskan Malamute. I currently own a Belgian Malinios. A lot of work have gone into them and still go into them. Caring for dogs can be challenging but I love the work and seeing the dog improving is worth every minute I am a professional dog trainer and have been around dogs all my life, I feel that I can handle most any situation you can throw at me. If I got the chance to work with your dog I would take it.
“Lauren was so amazing! We had to find someone very quickly to watch our little one and Lauren was so accosting. Our little guy had such a great time and Lauren and her family were very friendly and amazing people. 5 stars all around!”
“Debbie took excellent care of my little guy. She was communicative and flexible, I would definitely use her day care service again. Chancho was happy and exhausted after I picked him up from his play date and I can tell he had a great time.”
“Brittany was so happy to have our boy and her enthusiasm to take care of him made me feel super comfortable. He had the best time staying with her and playing with other pups. She kept me constantly updated and sent plenty of pics and video during his stay. I would absolutely leave my boy with her again.”
“Sarah was awesome! Took a last minute booking, had to drop off early, perfectly accommodating! Took great care of my little Peanut and left me feeling very comfortable with who was taking care of my pup!”
About: Hi! My name is Colleen, and I’m a lifelong dog lover! :) I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine my life without them. I have an English Cream Golden Retriever of my own, and he is truly my child! He’s great with other dogs who match his calm energy. I’m passionate about giving dogs the same love, attention, exercise, and care that I give my own pup. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog with someone, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own while you’re away. ❤️ I work full-time from home. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can take your pet out as often as needed and take on walks frequently. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I always make sure they have plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate time, medications, and any specific instructions you provide
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner. I absolutely adore dogs and am especially comfortable caring for small dogs. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get lots of attention, company, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small dog of my own, Pluto, who loves having a canine buddy around and is always excited to make a new friend. I plan to only host one additional small dog at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention and feels comfortable in my home. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your dog, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to be with the dogs throughout most of the day and can easily accommodate regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule is pretty consistent, and I’m home most weekdays as well as many weekends. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I only plan to host one small dog at a time in addition to my own dog, Pluto, so I can give each pup plenty of individual attention. I have a small, fully fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time, plus a cozy gated indoor dog area with beds, toys, and water for when I need to leave the house. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, sleeping, and potty routine, along with any special instructions you provide. Pluto is friendly and enjoys having another dog around, and I’ll make sure introductions are slow and comfortable for both dogs.
“Bao Bao had a wonderful time with Leu. She was great with her updates and even accommodated for our late pick up time on Christmas Eve. We would gladly have Bao Bao stay again when we are in the area.”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and my husband and I live in Reno, Nevada. We're entrepreneurs with a flexible schedule and love taking care of dogs. I had a black lab for 15 years and have watched many dogs over the years, including internationally with Trusted Housesitters, where I am background-checked and reviewed. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. We work from home and are flexible most days! Our weeks tend to vary, but we are great at communicating with the pet parent to find times that work for everyone. We have a three-story townhome next to the Wildcreek Golf Course and Melody Lane Park. We have two patios at our house for outside time, and take regular walks. Lots of space for roaming.
“I’m so happy I found Maria and Uvaldo! My dog loves them and gets excited to see them and she is very picky. As a travel nurse I’ve had lots of experience using the Rover app and can always tell when she’s had a fun day or just sat around. These guys take her for legit walks and fun in the park which is so appreciated by me and my dog (not every dog sitter does this). Maria cares about my dog the same way I do and that is a rare find! I work long hours and have an erratic schedule and these guys are super flexible. Highly recommend FIVE STARS! I know my baby is in good hands❤️”
About: I have house sat with several dogs in the home, older, young, big and small. I have had the opportunity to sit a dog with high energy that needed a walk every day, to one that needed special medication and lots of pats. I know how hard it is to find someone reliable with a flexible schedule and knows how important your pet is to you. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I had Horses, cats, dogs, and a hamster at one point. Currently married with a 1 year old and a cat. I have open availability and weekends as well. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have a fenced home. We have enough space to accommodate 1 other pet for a short period of time.
About: I had an internship with a veterinarian clinic where I learned so much about the necessary care for pets. I've even done harder tasks such as take their temperature, listen to their heartbeats, and much more. I dog sit at home for colleagues and family whenever I can because they always come to me for help. I work from home so I'm pretty available all day to keep a pet company. I can come over to the client's house to walk the dogs, feed them, or even stay the night if need be. I am very active, playful, and love to cuddle with pets. I enjoy taking dogs on walks/runs or being a couch potato with them as we watch movies.
About: I will love and care for your dog as if its my own. I had a 14 year old mixed breed, she passed away. I would love helping out other dog owners. I have a car and live in an apt. I love going for walks and will give lots of attention to your furry friend. I am retired and need to supplements my income. If I need to help with special needs I am willing to learn. I live in midtown a few blocks from the park for walks and play. I will be the best pet sitter you will ever have and feel confident in my skills and love for all animals. You can totally trust me so please give me a chance to help you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Fernley is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $54 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 273 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fernley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fernley commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 273 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NV. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
