“Tim did an incredible job taking care of my dog and cat! He truly is a dog whisperer. Dixie is shy and has never warmed up to anyone expect myself and close family but she loved Tim after just a few visits! Highly recommend him for all your pet walking and sitting. You won’t be disappointed!”
About: As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures! Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care. When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.
“Alena is fantastic! We were headed to Dry Tortugas Park in the Florida Keyes for the day and couldn't take our dog "JoJo" with us. The previous day she suggested a meet & greet (which I didn't even know was a "thing"). JoJo connected with her right away. And from the pictures she sent, JoJo is smiling and happy. I would definitely recommend her and would hire her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and this is my partner Alex. We both work fully remote! We spent the last few years traveling abroad throughout the America’s and a little bit of Europe. We’ve landed in Lake Tahoe for the foreseeable future! We provide a safe, active, and loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Since we are both fully remote, your fur baby gets consistent attention, not just quick check-ins. Our days naturally include multiple walks (morning, mid-day, and evening), outdoor time, and plenty of downtime for cuddles and relaxation. We live an active lifestyle and love having a furry friends alongside us and we’re just as intentional about creating a calm, secure space at home so your pet feels comfortable and settled. We’ve cared for pets for over 15 years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms while abroad, in both our home and theirs. We’re very attentive and always know where your pet is, so you never have to worry about safety or supervision. Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re having their own little vacation. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative sitters who will treat your pet like their own, we’d love to help. Our daily step goal is 8-10k steps so walks are a breeze starting first thing in the morning and after every meal. Nicole loves to create a calm environment in the home and cozy up on the couch. Alex is very active and will go for hikes, longer walks, and loves play. We have stairs in our home that lead down to our bedroom as well as to get down to the front door. If your pup has mobility issues, they’ll need to be okay with being carried up and down, just let us know.
“Lacey is great, and my dog always comes back so happy. She has even been able to accommodate me at the last minute, which I really appreciate. Two thumbs up. Or maybe I should say two paws up.🐾”
“Sandra did a great job with Charlie and cousin JoJo. She took them on a great walk. I worry about Charlie being home alone for so long so I'm very pleased that they get to get outside and get some exercise!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Genoa
We are so grateful for Tim and the excellent care he showed our two Australian Shepherds when we were on vacation. Our dogs are bigger and strong and it takes strength and energy to take them on walks and keep them safe. We really appreciate Tim. He was on time, consistent, responsive, communicative, and made us feel relaxed so we could enjoy our time with the family. When we did a meet and greet with Tim, our dogs like him right away and he has a great energy with pet pets. Highly recommend thank you so much Tim.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 944 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Genoa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Genoa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Genoa after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Genoa. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
