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!
“Excellent punctuality and some of the best and most consistent communication from a sitter. We will hire her again when we go out of town to take care of our cats if she is available”
“Chase was punctual, professional, and my Bobby absolutely fell in love. Bobby got in his potty breaks, a couple of walks, and lots of snuggles. I would definitely utilize Chase again and we look forward to our next drop-in visits!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Carson! Our dogs were well cared for, and we loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“did a great job with my pets, very friendly and asks lots of questions during the meet and greet. only thing to be aware of if your animal is on a tight schedule is that she was late to the visits.”
“Cassandra was absolutely amazing with our two cats while we were away for the holidays! She was incredibly patient with our shy but attention-seeking cat, taking the time to make him feel comfortable and giving him the attention he craves. It was clear from the updates and photos that Cassandra genuinely cared for them and made sure they were well taken care of. Knowing our cats were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter. Thank you, Cassandra!”
“Extremely kind, took great care of our two dogs. She kept good contact and provided pictures throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone for their furry family member’s. Thank you Kate!!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around animals and have continued caring for pets through house sitting, pet sitting, and travel throughout the years. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, multiple-pet households, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I’ve cared for everything from energetic dogs that love long walks and playtime to older pets that need a calmer pace and extra attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep things as familiar as possible while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, respectful of your home, and happy to provide photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available throughout the week for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine and plan my schedule around their individual needs. I take safety seriously and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, crate instructions, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety concerns are handled carefully. When staying in a client’s home, I also treat the home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away.
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.
“Amazing, dog sat for me last minute and her attention to detail was very comforting. I felt very safe, leaving my dog with her and I’m very grateful that she was able to take care of Indy. If needed I will definitely hire her again. Thanks Shelby”
“Excellent care all the way around for my dog Rex, the kitties even received care. Rex had a potty issue and only kindness was shown.. I will most definitely use Keegan the next time I need care for my animals. 10 stars if I could give.”
About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.
About: I absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!
About: Hello! My name is Allison, I am 35 years old. I have years of cat/ dog care under my belt. I have dog/ cat sitted for many of my moms friends. I unfortunately do not have pets at the moment but I have owned pets in the past. I love animals and offer the best care for them. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to care for your dog or cat. I have time to play with them or walk them as needed I am respectful of other people's homes and instructions on how to care for their fur babies. I make sure they are comfortable and safe by providing the best care
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reno
Our puppy absolutely loves Carson and her drop-ins! 🐶❤️ She gets lots of playtime, attention and potty breaks. We always come home to a happy and tuckered out pup. Carson is reliable, caring, and patient. She took the time to learn our puppy’s routine to keep her training on track! We’re so grateful to have someone we trust completely with our puppy and our home.
Miranda is doing drop in visits for my dog Stella two days a week for me. So far, it has been fantastic. She arrives within the window that I need her to and spends some quality time with Stella and lets her outside. This week she even adjusted her schedule a little bit at my request. Thanks so much!!
She helped me with a last minute booking with my dog when the freeway pass closure prevented family watching my dog while I was on a work trip. Came by within an hour of me reaching out just to have an introduction with me and my dog. My dog Amari loved her!
This was my first time using rover after typically boarding my dog Oakley for 8 years and with him getting older we want him to feel more at ease at the comfort of his home. MK from the beginning was very professional and made us feel at such ease that after our initial meet my spouse and I looked at each other with the biggest smiles on our face and said “that is the exact person that anyone would ever want to watch their dogs”. We immediately felt a sense of relief and felt we truly were making the right choice. I can’t thank MK enough with her amazing communication, pupdates, and thinking of what more she could for Oakley.
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.
Kevin is amazing!!!! I messaged him last minute before a quick day trip and I kid you not he responded in less than 3 minutes and was at my door to meet my dog and myself within the next 30. Beyond punctual, friendly and kind. 10/10 experience and would absolutely book again!

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.
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 Reno 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!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
