“MK managed to get both my cats to take their pills with no trouble, a minor miracle! MK pays attention to every detail and really works hard to make our cats happy and comfortable while we’re gone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I always make sure they get attention, love, and proper care. I’m available Friday evenings after 6 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. During those times, I can give your pets my full attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
“Catherine was awesome! She went above and beyond for my elderly cat with high medical needs and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable having her look after my cat”
“Michael was amazing caring for Chloe and also being respectful of the space. He spent time with Chloe and played, provided food and loads of love. I would definitely get his care again for Chloe.”
“Chelsea was a wonderful pet sitter for us while we were away on a camping trip. She arrived when scheduled, followed through with our requests, sent many photos, and provided exceptional communication when it came to updates and any problems. We came home and our kitties were well taken care, along with our home. Looking forward to our next trip knowing that we can have a reliable and responsible pet sitter available for our cats.”
About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed. I will use leashes and any other equipment needed to take care of your pet responsibly.
“Wendy did a great job with my cat. She even looked after the plants 🙂. I was a little nervous leaving him alone since we always had other pets, but he did well with her and this is the 2nd year in a row i hired her and will be glad to do so again.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for the last 10 years. I had 2 French mastiffs and 3 French bulldogs but recently lost 2 of them to old age. I am very well versed in caring for senior dogs (my frenchie passed when he was almost 15 and my French mastiff passed when he was 10). I love taking my dogs on walks, camping, river trips when they love to splash around! I currently work full time for Meals on Wheels but am fortunate enough to have a hybrid schedule. I work into the early afternoons. My weekends are generally free to devote time to caring for your pets and your home. I’m also available to take your fur babies on walks in the afternoon/early evenings. I would prefer caring for your pups in your house, where I feel they are most comfortable. I am very trustworthy and clean and will treat your home with the utmost respect.
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 had experience with cats and dogs my entire life, reptiles since I was 15, and birds since I was 16. I have specifically been petsitting others cats and dogs for around 8+ years. While I work full-time Monday-Friday, I am sure that I still have time and energy to give. I would love to spend my extra time on weekends spoiling some pets. I'm used to spending lots of time outside with energetic dogs and wearing them out. I like playing with dogs and cats (assuming your cat likes to play), and spending time with more exotic animals to encourage socialization.
About: I currently live in a two downstair bedroom apartment with access to the patio and yard. I currently have one dog, a Norwegian Elkhound. We go for about 1hrs walks daily and go out hiking almost every weekend. I have experience with all sizes (small, medium, large, x-large). I also babysat several of my friends' dogs at my apartment and I have also gone to their houses to dog sit. I have also done multiple walks with multiple dogs. I am willing to walk multiple dogs, go to someone's house to house sit/ dog sit, and willing to dog sit overnight for multiple days. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns for me. I work full time from 8-5 M-F. But I'll sometimes come home for lunch and if required I can always come home to take the dog out. I can also dog walk during the day as I use it for my lunch time. I try to make them as comfortable as I can. If staying with me, I have multiple dog beds, water bowls, and toys they can use. I have a big crate if that is needed. I also have gates to block off areas that they get into or where they don't need to be in. I do live downstairs and access to the patio and yard. I always leash them if we are going out this way since it isn't fenced.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, so I am very familiar with how to care for one. I love dogs: all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I'm a college student with extra time on my hands, and I would love to help you out! I'm a college student at UNR, but my schedule has good-sized time slots to take your pets out on walks, do check-ups, and drop-ins. I have lots of time on weekends and in the afternoons/evenings, so those times always work great. I can also do mornings most days. My services include pet-walking and home drop-ins. I unfortunately do not offer boarding, but I am happy to help with other pet services and needs. I have a lot of experience with different animals, so I am familiar with what is needed for your furry friend. Any requests or modifications can be made, so just reach out!
“Nikki went above and beyond for us and for Nemo, she’s one of the best Rovers I’ve had. First, we needed a Rover super last minute when something urgent came up and she got back to me right away. She was able to take Nemo the evening of the day I messaged her! She was also super sweet and sent lots of photos and videos. Additionally, she sent us home with a card, a little baked treat, and a toy that she made for Nemo! She is so sweet and I would definitely book again!”
About: I love all the fur babies! I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds, and Fresh/Saltwater Fish! Please see below for addition information! For dogs: I love doggies! I have two dogs of my own who need constant love and attention. I love playtime and taking them for walks! I’ll be happy to walk the doggies and give them some needed exercise when your schedule becomes busy! For cats: I have a deep love for cats. I have had many cats in my care since I was young. Typically multiple cats at one time! I have experience with kittens from birth - all the way to their end of life. During this time I have become very experienced in providing medication, grooming, end of life care (cleaning those accidents they can’t control) and providing all the love they need! Lovable cats and skittish cats - I love both, so I’ll be happy to check in on them, clean their litter boxes, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away! Other animals: Please reach out for any additional pet inquiries! I also have experience with other animals including fish, rabbits and birds! I currently work full time, however I have flexibility in my schedule, specifically on weekday afternoons, and available all day on weekends to help with your pets. If you have a specific need - please reach out to me and we can see what the best accommodation is for you and your fur babies! Safety is a top priority for me when it comes to your fur babies. I will follow all requests for the safety of your pet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Reno
Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She was patient and well versed on how to approach my very shy cat. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and thorough with her after check-in reports as well as reaching out to me to see if there were any additional ways to make sure my girls were comfortable. I am so glad we went with Alex and will be using her again in the future. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
This was the first time I used Giselle to watch my two cats for a week. She did a fantastic job, and was very timely with her visits. She did everything I asked of her while I was away. I will definitely use her services again when needed. I highly recommend her
Athena and Natas absolutely enjoy being taken care of by Luna when I leave town. I have no worries as Luna does an outstanding job sending numerous photos of my kitties while she interacts with them. Luna is very respectful and caring with the kitties. I am very happy with her watching them anytime.
Gabby is an amazing pet sitter/caretaker and I will absolutely go straight to Gabby when I need a sitter again! My cat is recovering from an illness which needed careful attention and daily pill administration. Gabby clearly has experience with cats, left very detailed notes, and followed all of my cat's specific care so well! My cat got her pill every day even though she doesn't make it easy! Honestly so impressed and so grateful, Gabby went above and beyond. I felt very reassured knowing my cat had Gabby around to take care of her. Thank you so much, Gabby!
Shelly is amazing, really did an Amazing job. She did everything we asked of her and was truly concerned for our animals. We were worried about leaving our 17 yr old senior dog, but she took extra care. She sent pictures of our babies and checked in everyday with updates. This was our first time using a sitter, and it went perfectly.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
