“Nicole and Alex were absolutely amazing! They stayed at our home for 3 nights and took such great care of our dog, Whiskey. They made sure he got plenty of playtime, took him on walks, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a clean house—which was such a bonus. They even went above and beyond and did laundry, which we truly appreciated! We would 100% trust Nicole and Alex again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitters. Thank you guys!”

“Our experience with finding Denise thru the ROVER app was excellent beyond our expectations. We were miserable at the thought of leaving our two babies for nearly a week! We usually bring them wherever we go but were unable to this time as we stayed in a no kids/no pets resort for a destination wedding. But finding Denise was the most fortunate thing we could have ever imagined . She’s so affectionate & skilled with doggie care that we were able to go on our trip with no worries whatsoever about their care. Such an absolutely wonderful find. Highly recommend!”

“Dani replied to my last minute daycare request on Christmas day. I needed to find someone to watch my pups when I went snowboarding. It was a last minute spontaneous trip. I didn’t think anyone would be available, I was very grateful that Dani reaplied to me and was available to watch my dogs. One of my dog is very anxious especially with males, but Dani was very patient with him. He even took them on a long walk and sent me pictures even though it’s just a short daycare. They both came out happy and healthy when I picked them up. I would definitely board my dogs with him again if he is willing to have them over. Thanks again Dani for taking such great care of my pups! You made my snowboarding trip possible :)”

“Gabriel was absolutely incredible. We’ve had bad luck in the past when it comes to leaving our two fur babies for vacation, work or otherwise. Gabriel was so accommodating and communicative, it really helped our separation anxiety. Our puppies absolutely love him and all the walks and cuddles he provides. We can’t thank him enough for allowing us to break away for a while.”

About: I can dog walk short and long term, house/pet sit, or drop in to hang out with your pets! Like many sitters, I have had my own pets and lots of experience as a sitter for friends, family, and clientele. I have been a tahoe dog mom myself and understand how healthy, active, or spoiled they can be. I enjoy long walks at the dog beach or running circles around the back yard whatever gets your energy out. I have great attention to detail and lots of patience so I can accommodate special needs/diets. I am an outgoing and active person but also will enjoy relaxing with your older or lazier pups. Can water plants or other misc chores for extended vacations at small extra fee. Thanks! I'm currently a student online at Lake Tahoe Community College, so I have a lot of down time when I am not studying and enjoy taking walking breaks. I follow the instructions carefully and any special rules or requests for the pets. I'm a tidy person and respect my clients homes and the safety and space of their pets.
“Lyndsey was wonderful! She watched my pup for three days in my home and everything was perfect. She was attentive and asked lots of questions to understand his needs. She communicated regularly to assure me he was well taken care of and doing well. The house was spotless when I arrived back home and Yeti was happy and exhausted from all the playtime. I highly recommend Lyndsey and hope she can take care of my Yeti again. She’s a lovely person and I felt so comfortable leaving my precious pup in her care.”
About: What sets me apart is reliability, patience, and a calm approach with every dog I care for. Being retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets consistent attention instead of rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine and taking the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m especially good with dogs that benefit from a steady, relaxed presence, including senior dogs or those that may be a little anxious. I also make communication a priority. Pet owners receive regular updates so they always know their dog is safe and well cared for. I limit the number of pets I take so each one gets the attention they deserve. My goal is simple—dependable care you can trust and a positive experience for your dog every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks, visits, and check-ins are something I look forward to each day. Being retired allows me to stay flexible and dependable for pet owners who need regular or last-minute help. I focus on keeping each pet comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality. In a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their own environment. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your home.

I appreciate the job Leo did with my pups. He followed instructions, gave walks, handled issues when others had unleashed dogs, and was respective to my house. I would highly recommend Leo, but just remember that don't keep him too busy so I can book with him again!

If I could leave more stars, I would. Lisa was beyond amazing. It’s always scary to leave your fur babies, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. She sent us many pictures and I could see our babies were so happy. We have two high energy dogs and one old soul - she never complained once. We came home to a spotless house and a clean yard. She even left us a few VERY thoughtful gifts. I highly recommend her and I will be using her services in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gardnerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardnerville on Rover is $64.32 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gardnerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gardnerville 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 Gardnerville 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.
Tip: 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 Gardnerville 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
