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.
About: I love dogs, and I love taking dogs to the dog park. I am a very outgoing person. I love companionship. I will make your dog tired so they will have a good night sleep. I have taken care of many dogs: small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs and giant dogs. I have taken care of family friends dogs since I was 9. I can handle any type of dog or size of dog. My dog gets along great with other dogs. She loved meeting new dogs, shes very hyper and very playful. She lovers wearing out other dogs in our yard or at the dog park. I have a park right next to my house that I usually walk my dog at. It is a fairly large park so your dogs will be a little tired after our walks. I am currently a stay at home mom with my almost 5 year old and 6 month old. I have all the free time in the world to care for your pets! My dogs are on an eating schedule 2 times a day once in the morning and once at night, we do daily walks and play time outside!
About: I've been rover verified and trusted for 5 years and I recently moved back home from Soquel for a 5 month stay as well as Clearlake CA. from running a bed and breakfast for the past 2.5 years where i also did my pet/house sitting. Animals are my passion and if you know me, you love me. i'm respectful, clean, and responsible. I've had some wonderful pets in my life, but at the moment do not have any animals. I am on the lookout for the perfect dog and hope to find her soon. I'm that girl who stops and asks to pet every dog along my path. I even roll down my window to talk to the dog in the car next to me. Oh and dont let me see an animal who is in distrees, lost or scared. My super hero cape comes out. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and if you pick me you will see they love me right back. Thanks for reading I am currently employed part time so I have lots of time to hang with the fur babies. I will make your pet and home my priority. I want your pets to feel like mom and dad are not really away and aunt Rene is visiting. They will be spoiled with attention.
“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.”
“Destiny is an outstanding sitter. This was our pup’s first time staying with someone new. Destiny showed us around her home and described a typical day with her. She also let me know what I would need to bring to keep my pup comfortable. She sent photos which were great to see.”
“Samantha took great care of my pup, Leo! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and took him a 30 minute walk! He had fun playing with other dogs and I will definitely use her again!”
“Melisa was awesome! We sent in a request super last minute for her to watch our 1 year old pup while we went skiing. She was extra helpful and was super sweet. They seem super experienced with dogs and really care about all the dogs that they are watching! I am so thankful and happy that we found her.”
“Bri & Lyle are the best! Our 2 yr old aussiedoodle had a great time with their family. Bri is great to communicate with and our dog was happy and safe. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Justin, your friendly neighborhood dog whisperer. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, ever since I was a teenager. Whether it’s seniors, puppies, nervous dogs, or the little quirky ones with big personalities, animals naturally gravitate toward me. I truly believe dogs can feel energy, and they always seem to feel safe and understood around me. I’m a full-time remote worker with a calm, grounding home environment, and I treat every pup who stays with me like they’re part of my family. My own dogs, Peaches and Cosmo, are used to having friends over and do great with small dogs who have good manners. I understand dog body language deeply and I know how to create a safe, low-stress environment for every pup. What you can expect with me: • Constant supervision & love • A secure home with a fenced yard • Playtime and enrichment • Separate feeding areas if needed • Safe introductions and lots of patience • Photos, videos, and updates throughout the day • A sitter who genuinely loves dogs and has done this all his life I’m experienced with: ✔ small/delicate dogs ✔ anxious dogs ✔ senior dogs ✔ special diets ✔ meds (non-injection) ✔ rescue pups ✔ multi-dog households If you want someone who will give your dog the same love, attention, and protection they get at home, I’m your person. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort always come first, and I promise to treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶💛 Pet care is built into my lifestyle. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give the dogs consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the entire day. 🕒 A Typical Day Looks Like This: • Morning: I start the day with potty breaks and a relaxing neighborhood walk to help everyone get their energy out. Dogs get breakfast afterward in separate feeding areas to keep mealtimes peaceful. • Midday: I’m home working, so dogs can nap near me, chew on enrichment toys, or enjoy supervised backyard breaks. I check in with them frequently and give cuddles or playtime based on their needs. • Afternoon: Another walk or potty break, depending on your dog’s routine. I make sure everyone gets movement, attention, and reassurance throughout the day. • Evening: Dinner time (again fed separately), followed by more relaxation, play, or quiet cuddles on the couch. I’m very sensitive to each dog’s preferences — some want to play, some want to chill. 🏠 My Home Is Calm, Safe, and Always Supervised Because I’m home all day, your pup is never left alone for long periods, and I can monitor how well they’re adjusting. I only accept small dogs, which keeps the energy manageable for everyone — including my two dogs, Peaches and Cosmo. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my little family. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and I take their comfort, safety, and happiness seriously. Here’s exactly what you can expect when your pup stays in my home: 🏠 A Calm, Safe Home Environment My home is clean, peaceful, and set up specifically for dogs. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pup lots of attention, structure, and supervision. I only host small dogs, which keeps the energy gentle and reduces stress during introductions. 🐶 Thoughtful, Stress-Free Introductions I introduce your dog to my two small dogs, Peaches and Cosmo, slowly and safely, usually outdoors first. I’m skilled in reading dog body language, so I ensure everyone feels comfortable before letting them interact freely inside.

“This was our first time booking through Rover.com and we cannot be more pleased! Wendy took excellent care of our animals while we were away and sent us frequent updates. Before our trip she came to meet our pets and review their needs. We felt very comfortable with leaving our fur-buddies in her capable and experienced hands.”

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 273 sitters in Fernley, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
