“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable providing extra care, medication, mobility assistance, and lots of love and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently available and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs and can accommodate different schedules and routines. With my years of experience caring for dogs—including senior and disabled dogs—I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing them with the attention and care they need. My own dogs are walked every day and are very loved and spoiled. They are both seniors, so I’m experienced with providing them the extra attention, patience, and care that older dogs need. I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and tended to according to their individual needs. I have a large house with a fenced in yard.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and current cat parent who would be happy to give your pets some extra love and attention while you’re away. I grew up with dogs ranging from small to large, so I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m happy to take a well-trained dog for a walk, stop by for meals and fresh water, provide bathroom breaks, and make sure they get some companionship and attention while you’re gone. I also have experience living with a cat and would love to care for your feline friends as well. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, and am especially happy to help with adult or senior pets who appreciate a little extra patience and a relaxed approach. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and cared for- and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and see if I’m a good feel for your pet-care needs! I work full-time Monday-Friday in Carson, but let care fits nicely into my routine. If in Carson City, I can check in with pets on my lunch. Otherwise I am available for visits before or after work, evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and provide dependable, respectful care in their familiar environment. Because I have a cat of my own, I don’t board pets in my home but I’m happy to care for them in yours, where they can stay comfortable in their own space and routine.
“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.”
“Wonderful job caring for Taz and Zoey! It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while I was away. I especially loved receiving the pictures and updates—they made me smile and reassured me that my cats were happy and well cared for. Very reliable, attentive, and clearly treated Taz and Zoey like their own. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Rachel was amazing! She sent regular photo, video, and text updates while I was gone and kept my two dogs happy and well exercised. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who tends to be nervous in general but even more so when I’m away. My house was clean and tidy when I came home with everything as I had left it. I would recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a loving, respectful sitter for their fur babies!”
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
“Ally was on time and communicative throughout the booking and pet sitting process. She went over and above to understand our pet’s needs. Moreover, she listened to our specific concerns and was very accommodating . Will definitely use her again!”
“We got daily updates on Millie for the almost 2 weeks we were out of town for our wedding. Millie was excited to see Dustin when he arrived, which of course makes us happy and comfortable to see. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.
“Sarah was excellent with our dog, Teddy. She was punctual, reliable, and maintained good communication with every visit. She was also super flexible with scheduling and was able to accommodate my last-minute request. Teddy seemed very pleased with her as well. I will definitely use sarah again and would recommend her to anyone who cares for their pets.”
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for as long as I can remember. I truly love all breeds and have never been one to shy away from a dog because of their size or breed and in fact, I have an especially soft spot for pit bulls and Rottweilers! 🤍 Over the years, I’ve also gained hands-on experience volunteering with the Humane Society and veterinary clinics, where I helped with walking, bathing, grooming, playtime, and general animal care. I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a pet pig of my own, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I currently work full-time for Washoe County, but in my free time I love being able to care for other people’s pets. I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your animals, and I’ll always treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. 🐾 I am currently working full time with Washoe County and my shift changes every three months. Please contact me for current scheduling information, and I am sure we can work something out! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, so I will follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and will always use appropriate leashes, gates, crates, or other safety measures based on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your home and belongings with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine. I’m also happy to provide plenty of updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
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
“This was our first time using Rover. We had an unexpected event that my husband and I both needed to attend. Our dog is almost 2 yrs old and about 181 pounds. We wanted a male because of his size and we found Michael. He was amazing with our dog!! This was the first time leaving him with a stranger. He sent me pictures of him to assure me he was doing good. Major started to get figity by the end of the day. Michael got him in his create and sat next to him until we got home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my boy!!! Looking forward to having you back over soon!!! You're the best!!”
“Alejandra took such great care of our pittie Big Lady. She sent updates and pictures daily. I would highly recommend using Alejandra and we will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Megan was a pleasure to have taking care of our dogs and our house. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and happy. She also exceeded our expectations by keeping the house clean and even cleaned things we did not expect her to! We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking to have someone take care of their dogs/home.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gold Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 812 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gold Hill. 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 Gold Hill 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 Gold Hill 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 Gold Hill 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
