“Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have grown up with dogs my whole life, including my family’s chocolate Labrador who is now 13. I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ dogs of different sizes and personalities, from Labs to smaller breeds like Yorkies and mini poodles. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with puppies for walks/playtime (as long as they’re potty trained for overnight stays), anxious dogs who may need extra patience, and keeping owners updated with photos and communication along the way. I have a very flexible schedule this summer and am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care. I do have a summer class three days a week during June, but outside of that I have plenty of availability and can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to your home on time is never a problem. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which gives dogs a safe outdoor space for supervised play and potty breaks. Because I share the home with roommates, I do prefer pets stay off furniture, but they’ll still get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m not a good fit for aggressive dogs, but I’m happy caring for friendly dogs who may need patience, structure, and lots of love. I’m naturally very responsible, communicative, and respectful in other people’s homes, and I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet.
About: I treat every pet like family, giving them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets—patient with training needs and gentle with older dogs who need extra TLC. I’m always tuned in to each pet’s personality and comfort, whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or quiet company. Safety, consistency, and connection are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I plan my day around their needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly love doing. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and relaxed. I follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, meds, and favorite toys—so pets feel right at home. I also give regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I respect your space, your rules, and your pet’s unique needs, treating them like part of the family.
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.
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have always loved animals. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends who have relied on me to feed and take out their pets. I also worked at a dog daycare/boarding recently for a summer. I love animals and want to give them to best experience while their owners are gone! I am in school and would love to help pets get some time on walks or outside during my mid day downtime! I want to make sure I keep a routine for animals while their owners are gone. I take pride in providing the best care and following all care instructions. I have a puppy who my family and I have been training. Even though this doesn’t apply to the service I offer, He is easily crated and goes on walks well.
“Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.”
“I appreciated Sydney's attention to my instructions, her flexibility around me changing the plan some, and her ease & confidence with handling pilling my kitty. She left my home just as I found it, and my kitty was well fed and content upon my return, despite my absence. I'm so grateful for pet sitters like Sydney and definitely recommend her services!”
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can work around your schedule in providing care to your loved ones while you are away. I love caring for pets in the place they know best, which is their home. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or cuddles, I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.
“Laura is the best! She has already done multiple walks and check ins with our dog but recently we got a kitten and she checked in on him while we were on an extended vacation. She is dependable, responsible and truly cares about Pickle’s well-being. She even offered to buy him more food when he ran out sooner than expected. She leaves the best rover card updates and seeing the pictures of him at play was very comforting being so far away. She even gave insight into his behavior which was so valuable as this is my first cat! We will absolutely book Laura again!!”
“Hamilton loved his time with Sidney. She was very attentive and played with him using all his favorite toys. Hamilton and I are both thrilled we found Sidney, and have already requested to work with her again.”
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.
About: I've have taken care of animals since I was in elementary school, I have taken care of reptiles so I'm not afraid of bugs and I've also taken care of dogs and even during covid I had a family member bring me their dogs for 3 months to take care of them. Currently since I moved to reno and looking for a part time job I have a lot of time to be taking care of dogs currently so I don't mind what time it will be. I have two dogs and they are friendly, and I always look out for them weather that's in my backyard or on a hike since currently in reno there seems to be many snakes out there and I would like to keep them safe, but also want them to have fun while being safe.
About: Worked with animals my entire life, volunteered at animal shelters as a teen and genuinely love being around dogs and cats. Message me anytime day or night if you need help. Willing to work any hours that are need day or night, whenever I'm available. Feel free to call, text, or email me for schedules. Overnight included. I care for my animals the same I would for anyone else's. Willing to care for anyone's place as it was my own as well.
About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.
“She helped me out so much for a last minute trip I had to go on. She was so kind and understanding and adjusted to the changes as they came. I appreciate her and her time so much!”
“Hallie is great! She even washed my puppies bowl which is so appreciated considering I work 7 days a week and I'm exhausted when I get home. Stella seemed very happy and there were no messes in the house. Thanks Hallie”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reno
Knine was wonderful with our dog Aspen! She took her out promptly, walked her around the area, and even stayed to play with her to keep her company while I was away! Aspen loved the time spent with Khine. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs extra love and care for their fur babies.
Mk is fantastic! My two fur babies love when she visits. Mk is highly experienced with all animals, she's especially gifted with animals that experience anxiety or are rescues. It shows in how she treats my two dogs that she has a genuine love for animals. She’s prompt, friendly, and has tricks to get animals to eat. I'm new to the area and I feel very grateful to have found such a kind pet sitter/walker. Mk is the best!
Carson saved the day! Our booking was last minute, due to unforeseen circumstances, while we were out of town and Carson stepped up and helped us out beautifully! Thor adored her and she took extra care to send pics and let us know how he was doing which gave us peace of mind until we returned. We look forward to hopefully having Carson spend more time with Thor.
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!
Sherina is amazing! I’ve booked her twice now, and after the first time, I knew my puppy was in great hands. He was happy and well cared for, so I had nothing to worry about during my trip. She was always on schedule and even went out of her way to take him on extra walks. She’ll definitely be my first choice going forward. Thank you, Sherina!
Taylor was amazing!! She took time to walk my pups and made sure all their duties and wiggles were taken care of! She took them to their favorite spots and I felt so safe with Taylor’s care! I definitely recommend Taylor and will be using her in the future! Thank you Taylor!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Reno stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Reno with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reno. On Rover:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
