About: Hi! My name is Cassandra, I have always had pets at home. From cats and dogs, to lizards and fish. I love being around animals and seeing them experience joy and contentment. My pets are like my practice children and I put so much care into their well being. I hope to be able to do the same for your pets as well. I don't have a fulltime job so I am extremely flexible with your schedule. I can do pretty much anything, walks for the dogs (or any other type of pet) playing with the cats, feeding, overnight, and if you need something else please reach out! I would love to be able to help you with whatever your pets might need. If you have any questions at all please feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you and I look foreword to meeting you fur babies! I currently am not working so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to spend with your beauties! So I am open to all types of schedules. I can feed, play, clean up, and walk with all your pets. Drop ins or night stays I am open for either. I cannot do very long walks due to a medical issue but I can play fetch all day and long a good jaunt around the neighborhood.

About: I was born with a serious cat addiction. Cats are so fascinating with their little quirks and funny personalities. I truly enjoy every minute spent a cat graces me with their presence. I've been consistently around cats since I was 6 years old, so right around 25 years. I can provide shots to your kitties too, if they need them for medical reasons. As for dogs, I'm very new to them as I've never had my own. But I was a dog walker for one summer. I'm a very quick learner and a lover of all animals! Pet sitting is my top priority, so I'm happy to be there for you and your babies. Let me know what you expect, and I'll do my best to make it happen! Happy to provide feeding and a clean litter box (or a walk for the doggies) as often as you and your little buddies require. Currently studying up on pet CPR in best interest in the worst case scenarios. Of course play time is a must!

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter since I can remember. From high school to adulthood, I have cared for a range of dogs and cats (along with some smaller critters, too!). I bring a personalized, intentional approach to my care. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible during your absence! I work remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility day to day. I cannot host animals in my home, but I am happy to come to your space to care for your pet where they are most comfortable. I am also an avid trail runner and hiker, so if you have an active pup that enjoys those sorts of activities (and doesn't mind a leash), I am happy to discuss taking them on short adventures in town. I work part-time and am fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility day to day. I am happy to spend as much (or as little) time in your space as you and your pet want/need. Though I cannot host pets in my own home currently, I am happy to come to yours to care for your pet! When I am in your space, I always make sure to leave things as I found them. I will ensure your pet is fed, hydrated, comfortable, and adequately exercised — whether that means playing a round of fetch with them in the yard or taking them on a walk.

About: Hi, I’m Aly. I am a Reno local and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Ecology from UNR in 2020, so my passion is animals. I have been pet sitting on the side for about 5 years and have experience with small dogs, big dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses. I am able to provide any oral medication needed, feeding, walks, playtime, and whatever else your pet requires to be comfortable. No job is too big or too small! This is my full time/year-round job and my hope is that I can help people live the flexible lives they want/need with the comfort of knowing their home and pets are safe and being taken care of. Pet care is my full-time and year-round job. I am available 7 days a week and also on holidays. I accept same day bookings because I know life happens and I understand the additional stress of finding pet care last-minute. My hope is to alleviate that stress and provide reliable care for your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, I try to keep the pets schedule consistent with their normal routine. That includes feedings, medication, bathroom breaks, and sleep schedules. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so you can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos of your pet while you’re away.

About: We love all animals and I have cared for dogs since I was eleven years old. Our house is dog and cat friendly. Your dog (s) and cat(s) will feel right at home and receive lots of love. We only care for dogs from one family at a time unless the dogs already know each other and with the pet parent’s permission. We are happy to take indoor cats and we won't schedule any dogs to stay with us when we have cat guests. The dog door is locked when we have cats. My husband and I will treat your "kids" as if they were our own, lavishing them with lots of love and attention. Dogs in our care are treated as if they are our own pets. We play, take walks and relax together. We make sure they are safe at all times. We are happy to feed them on your schedule and we can administer medicine if needed. Dogs are allowed on our furniture, but, if you prefer otherwise, we will accommodate that request. We are retired so we are home most of the time. We occasionally leave to go to the store, the gym or to a medical appointment. We leave dogs and cats home alone when needed, pending their parent's approval. If they can't be left alone for a short time, we make that work for us, and only one of us leaves the house at a time. We have a large dog door into a fenced dog run. We also have a large, fenced yard with lots of places to run and explore. We have no plants that can be dangerous to animals. There is no way a dog can escape from our yard. We keep our front screen door locked at all times when we have guests, so none of our kids or friends will pop in, giving a dog or cat the chance to pop out.

About: Pets have always been a integral part of my life. Maybe not all my own but those close to me as well. I have cared for many senior animals and also some with special needs. I have volunteered at The Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah-the largest shelter in the US. I work on call and set my own schedule, which provides alot of flexibility. Most of my work is at night and Saturdays. Prepared to drop in twice a day if needed. I'm always attuned to potential dangers in the house/yard and keep tabs on their whereabouts. I offer plenty of stimulation, attention, and walks.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. Starting with walking my neighbors dog. Once I was able to drive I would do overnights with the families dog, that I nannied for. Small dogs, puppy dogs, big dogs, old dogs and kitty cats. Your little fur baby will be in great hands! I’m currently working full time. I can walk/ drop in Monday -Friday mornings at 7am and I’m available after work at 5:30pm for evening for walks/drop ins. The weekends are more flexible with time for walks and drop ins. I will be needing to pet sit at the location since I cannot have pets in my current house. I have only done pet sitting at the clients houses for the last 16 years. It makes for a better stay, the animals are not overwhelmed and happy to be in their own home.

“Cat has been absolutely amazing with my dogs. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and a true dog whisperer! One of my pups has been anxious as of late and Cat was nothing short of patient and kind and worked with my pup to help her feel more comfortable. I’m so thankful for the love and care she shows my dogs.”

About: Hi! I'm Megan, a dog lover in South Reno who treats every pup like my own. With a life-long passion for our best friends, I offer reliable dog walking and in-home sitting services tailored to your dog's needs and your schedule. Whether your best friend needs a brisk 30- or 60-minute walk to burn energy, midday potty breaks while you're at work, or cozy overnight stays in a calm home environment, I'm here to provide attentive, loving care. I specialize in: Daily dog walking (solo or small groups for compatible pups) Drop-in visits Overnight sitting/boarding in my pet-friendly home (dependent on dog's needs and size) Safety and happiness come first—I follow best practices for leashed walks, hydration, playtime, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles. I'm background-checked and always send photo updates so you never miss a moment. I normally cook for my friends dogs, so if you prefer specific home-cooked, dog-digestible meals, I am happy to provide that. I own a two-story home, with a secure fenced yard, a nearby park, and miles of paved walking trails. I'm available most days, including holidays, weekends and evenings. Flexible with last-minute requests when possible! I'd love to meet you and your dog—message me to set up a Meet & Greet. Let's make sure your pup stays happy, exercised, and spoiled while you're away! I currently work out of the house all day, 5-6 days a week, so I will be with your best friend all day in your home or mine while you're away for a business trip, vacation, or if you simply need someone to pop in or do daily walks. I have a large fenced yard adjacent to numerous walking trails. Depending on your pups needs, I can provide in-home house/dog sitting. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, which means they will be given lots of affection and attention. I am a daily walker, so your pup will have a daily adventure just steps from my backyard or yours.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lockwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,030 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lockwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockwood. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
