Loving Home with Large Yard

I am a lifelong pet owner. My parents passed down their love for all animals (especially cats and dogs) to me. I currently have two mild mannered dogs and one awesome cat. I am also a mom to 3 human kids. Our family lives in a nice home with a large yard centrally located in Reno. We welcome cats and dogs to join our family while you are away.

This was our first time using Rover, and Julia made it such a great experience! Julia sent pictures and updates while I was away on vacation, which gave me peace of mind that Rowdy was being well taken care of and enjoying his time staying with Julia and her family. I will definitely be asking Julia to care for Rowdy again in the future! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!

Julia and her family are the best, they are very loving and caring and I will for sure use them again to watch Charlie. Our dog is very insecure and sensitive and he seemed very comfortable almost immediately. Thank you for taking such good care.

Julia and her family were flexible and communicated with us daily, which gave us a lot of comfort leaving our nervous rescue pup. They allowed him plenty of space to warm up and get comfortable, and their home and yard areas were a great fit for an older dog who enjoys lazy afternoons inside and sniffing around exploring outside. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

Our house has a large fenced-in yard. In addition to access to our fenced-in yard, I walk my dogs daily on the many trails near my house. My cat stays indoors at all times. There is plenty of space and entertainment for our cat inside our house. Guest dogs would join our dog routine and guest cats would join our cat routine.

It is important to know a dog’s energy level (including pet breed(s) if known, family info, feeding schedule, and daily routine. We only watch pets who are comfortable around children and we have kids in our house. Our back yard is quite large with lots of room for pups to roam. Be aware that the back yard has a four-foot fence. We have never had an issue with our dogs jumping (and one is a giant breed). If you are worried that your dog might jump the fence, you may want to look elsewhere. Please only inquire if your pet is fully housebroken.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
