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.
“Martha did an excellent job of looking after my cat and house while I was away. I felt so relieved having her looking after my cat while I was away. She did a great job of keeping me up to date with pictures of my cat on the daily basis and how he was doing. It was so easy to communicate with her and she followed all my instructions I left for her. I really appreciated her work and would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a sitter.”
“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”
“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.”
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: I’ve lived with and cared for animal friends for as long as I can remember. In our family, we had everything from dogs to rodents, and since being in high school, I’ve worked at rescue sanctuaries, ranches, grooming salons, and kennels. I’ve been a trusted volunteer at various animal shelters in the last 10 years, including Reno-based rescues that permit me to take dogs out on “dates” for the day. I also currently focus my professional work on animal rights and welfare. I love all creatures and I’m dedicated to ensuring the best care possible 💜 I work a PT in-person job, while the rest of the week I work from home. I have a flexible schedule to work with pet-sitting needs. Most consistent availability is early mornings/evenings. I can adjust to your and your pet’s individual needs and preferences. I have experience caring for different breeds, sizes, (and species), and can adapt accordingly!
“Emily is so reliable and exactly who we needed for my first time away from my 8 month old kitten. Even though it was a last minute request, Emily made time to come over for an initial meet/introduction.”
“As a fellow cat sitter it’s important to me who cares for my cats and Natalie did an awesome job! Her checks ins had great information and pictures showing me how they were doing and I could see my cats took to her easily. I traveled with less stress knowing she was caring for them.”

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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Reno
Devin is such a wonderful human because my cats truly loved him. He was so communicative and has such attention to detail. He also did go that extra mile and help me with some technical help with the litter boxes too and informed me of my cats unfortunate health soon. He is a great fit for your pets and I was surely stress free knowing my cats were with a friend
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Reno is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Reno. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
