“Patty and Randy were everything we could have hoped for in dog sitters! From the beginning, their communication was excellent, and we appreciated their honesty and genuine approach to caring for our dog. We especially liked that they encouraged a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for everyone. They were attentive to our dog’s individual personality and needs, and their home was a perfect environment for him. Just as importantly, we could tell they genuinely enjoyed having him there, which means so much to us. We always know when our dog has had a great “camp” experience because he comes home happy, relaxed, and himself. That was certainly the case with Patty and Randy! They provided everything we look for in dog sitters: great communication, a welcoming home, genuine affection for our dog, and complete peace of mind while we were away. We sincerely hope they’ll be available for our next trip. Thank you, Patty and Randy, for being such wonderful people and taking such great care of our baby.”

“Our dog Gracie took to Gabriel the minute she met him! What a relief and comfort to know she was in good hands so we could go on our Anniversary traditional backpack trip and feel comfortable leaving our beautiful girl.Gabriel kept in great contact and sent pictures of her often. We couldn’t have been more happy with Gabriel’s attention to detail, warmth with our dog, and he had a perfect area outside for her, as well as inside right by his side. He also took her on walks and gave her his undivided attention. Would book Gabriel again over and over.”


“Anton was amazing. Not only did he take care of my free small for kids. I’m short notice but he kept me updated and let me know how sweet they all were. Even better when the fur kids got home they were so excited to be around him and definitely fell in love. There were a few little whimpers once they saw him leave. Anton is definitely a repeat sitter and has gained my trust very rapidly. Thank you very much for taking care of my little fur family members.”

“Kate is such a kind and sweet carer. Her house has an adventurous, fun backyard and is lovely, welcoming and neat inside. Our dog had so much fun with her three dogs. Kate sent us so many videos and photos. Thank you Kate!!”

“Melissa is absolutely incredible and kept me up to date during my trip on how well my Rocket was doing! Couldn’t be more grateful for how caring and attentive Melissa is!!”

“We can't recommend Anne enough! She took such amazing care of Mia and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos, and every single one showed Mia looking happy and comfortable. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We are so grateful and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much ❤️🐾”


“So glad Teeda was available for our 5 day stay in a non- dog house in Tahoe. She is such a great person and did a great job with my big 40lb puppy. In fact, when we took our pup for one of the days in the middle of her stay and then brought her back in the evening, our pup was excited and so willing to go back w Teeda and went right into her car! Teeda's house is dog paradise and you can tell she is such a dog lover. She is kind, funny and down to earth. As a first time puppy mommy it meant the world to me that Teeda sent lots of pictures and texts. I had such confidence that my baby was being well taken care of. Teeda was also flexible and caring, understanding that our schedule was a little up in the air. She is the equivalent of Mary Poppins for dogs- she was like the magic solution to all of my worries last week.”

“I've never felt so comfortable leaving my dog's in someone's care than I did with Susan and her family. Absolutely top notch people and excellent communicators. My oldest dog had a nagging injury and needed to have his activity limited and I returned home from my vacation to his improved health. My only fear is that as travel opens up again Susan will be unavailable next time I need her! Thank you again!”

“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”

About: My fiance and I have a Bulldog Lab mix with epilepsy named Asparagus. Seizures with a 90+ dog are difficult, but I do what I need to to make sure he is comfortable and not a danger to himself. My life long friend, Dodger, passed away at 15 this last year. She passed in my arms, after about a year of doing everything we possibly could to keep her comfortable, including administering ointments and frequent diaper changes. I love animals more than I love people and have been caring for all sorts since I was very young. I also have experience with cats, chinchillas, and an assortment of reptiles, rodents, and amphibians. My schedule is very flexible, which is great because I can make room for all the lovely animals out there! I am a bartender around town, but this never takes up full days. I am attentive and caring. I am also very observant and great at reading situations, whether that be with the environment or other animals or needs more specific to your pet.
“Gissell is amazing! She takes great care to focus on what our dog’s routine is at home so that his routine stays pretty similar! I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s definitely out go-to sitter :)”
“Michele was awesome with our dog, Spike, and we didn’t have any worries while away. We were able to meet her and her dog at the park beforehand too. Spike sometimes has a hard time warming up to people, but he was comfortable with Michele right away! Thanks for everything!”

Heather and her family were dream dogsitters. So sweet, responsive, and loved seeing her boys cuddle up with Chai. My dog has a few additional needs as a senior dog, and Heather met them all precisely. I could tell Chai loved her so much and was so comfortable in her home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gardnerville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $56 per night. 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 243 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gardnerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Gardnerville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardnerville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gardnerville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gardnerville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
