About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.

About: Hello! I've volunteered with our local SPCA since college, learning to care for dogs and cats and administer basic medications. I care about providing companionship and enrichment for your fur baby to minimize separation anxiety while you're away, so you can travel guilt- and worry-free! I have one dog (who gets two walks daily) and three spoiled cats. Please message me if you have any additional questions. At this time I cannot do full time live in housesitting but can do overnight or chunks of hours. I am currently working on my Pilates instructor license and have plenty of time during the day and at night to care for your fur kiddos. Since Reno is my family home, I don't travel for holidays because everyone is still here, so I have space to help you take that vacation you always wanted! I believe in each pet having their "own" safe space, so we crate our dog and have our upstairs just for the cats so they can get a break from each other. In my client's house, your rules are king. My priority is keeping your baby safe and happy, so I always double-check locks and gates and scan to make sure nothing is accessible that could pose a chewing hazard. Second, privacy and respect matter to me.

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.

“I cannot recommend Erin highly enough! She was very responsive, professional and my cats clearly loved her. She wrote very detailed descriptions of each visit and how the cats were with her, and took the cutest photos. I had such peace of mind with her taking care of my babies and will definitely be requesting her again”
“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: I've had dogs almost my entire childhood from small pomeranians to rottweilers. I currently don't own any since my apartment would feel small with a dog but I would love yo dogsit for anyone who doesn't want their dog or cat to be alone. My wife is home all day so your dogs would get the exercise they need and all the love and attention they would want as she too grew up around dogs if any size. Same day appointments are available as are same day cancellations. Feel free to email me if you have questions. References available.

She also has references if needed. We can persist any day of the week with an advanced notice for weekends and holidays. I live in an apartment but there is a park nearby if your dog needs exercise. I also have a patio in case they just want to sit/lay in the shade/sun. Everything that could be dangerous towards dogs would be put away

Khine was wonderful! She checked in on our dog Bandit twice while we were away at a wedding. Every time she arrived and left she made sure to let me know and take photos! She also took him for a little walk which wasnt even requested and she went above and beyond! I am an anxious dog mom and she put me at ease ensuring to send me updates! From the pictures and videos I received Bandit looked very happy! :) we will absolutely be using her services again!

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.

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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
