“Rene was a great help with watching my Lyndii for me. While she stayed and watched her she walked her and played with her. She sent me pictures and let me know daily how she was doing. I will be using Rene again definitely. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Cindy spent time walking & giving lots of affection to our furkids. Cindy also changed our girl's foot bandage as needed & even made sure her PT exercises & red light therapy were done each day. Cindy is dependable & responsible. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furkids.”
“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.”
“Super sweet, and took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She instantly felt like family, and took care of my babies like her own. I will DEFINITELY be using her again when I come to this area visiting family.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from small to large breed for the past 20 years. Cats, reptiles and rodents too! There’s always an animal in my home and I have been with Rover and Wag! for about 5 years give or take. Animals like to gravitate towards me and that’s why I like to work with them. I also love them and I know how hard is it to find a good sitter. Public boarding facilities are terrible for animals because they don’t get the care that they deserve. You don’t have to worry about that when you have your fur baby stay with me they will get top priority! ☺️ You can expect a daily walk or two one in the morning and one in the evening. Access to my yard. Pets and cuddles if they want. Also know how to leave an animal alone to do their own thing. I have my dog Atlas he is very friendly and he is a pampered pooch. I helped to extend some of that to your animal. If I’m boarding, then I’m going to be doing it on days that I’m off of work so that I can focus entirely on your fur baby. Complete with pictures and updates! I am very respectful of the spaces that I embody. If I’m visiting your home, I will leave everything how it is I will clean up anything that needs to be cleaned. I will walk your dog for you and provide you relief, provide socialization, medication if needed, pets and love - when you’re busy.
About: I've always had dogs and a few cats. Life feels incomplete without pets. I've had puppies all the way up to elder dogs. I have tought some dogs basic commands. I have 3 dogs, all of which or large. One of which gets walked everyday because of how high energy he is. He needs constant stimulation all day everyday. And most times, he gets it. The other two are older and just get vitamins each morning. I have plenty of space for pups with my three dogs love to play and burn off some energy. I also have a crate if needed. There is plenty of water and food. I care about each animal as if they are my own

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fernley
Abigail did an excellent job house sitting and watching our 2 labs and 3 cats for the week! It was the first time ever leaving them with someone outside family and they just loved her! She provided plenty of updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Our fur babies were safe and happy as can be when we got home, qnd that's all we could ask for! Thank you Abby!!
Cayleigh was great. Took perfect care of our babies. This was our first big trip that family wasn’t watching them and we were stressing. Our boy (dog) has anxiety from an early shelter experience when it comes to us leaving and she was great with him. Made sure to keep him occupied with lots of walks, play time and lovings. Our girls (cats) are shy and really just need someone to fill their bowl and scoop their litter but by the time we were about to head back home she was seeing them around telling me that she was taking very good care of them in our absence. Made our trip so much easier knowing that she was here taking care of our babies just like we would want them taken care of sending all kinds of photos and updates so we would know that everyone was doing well while we were away. 10 out of 10 would have her pet sit for us again. Cayleigh was absolutely perfect.

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 Fernley 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 Fernley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fernley 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!

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 .
