“It’s been a pleasure having Ryan take my dogs out daily. He is punctual, conscientious and communicative. My dogs took to him right away. If you’re looking for a dependable guy who’s good with dogs, Ryan is the man!”
About: I love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have a dachshund of my own, so I understand how much pets mean to their families and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I just finished graduate school and have some downtime before starting my new job, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, care, and companionship! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away! I have a fenced yard and a dachshund of my own who loves other dogs! I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and at home.
“I’m using crutches at the moment and needed someone to walk my dog. This was my first time using Rover; it’s been a great experience. Cat replied to my request quickly and on short notice, which I appreciated. My rescue dog, a terrier mix, is not around other people very often, but he took to Cat immediately and returned happy each of the three days that she walked him. It’s all gone so well that I have another week of walks scheduled with Cat.”
About: I own a car and clean record with driver's license so I can transport dogs to and from parks, or wherever the job takes me. My communication skills are seasoned with both humans and dogs. I do not shy away from reaching out to owners if there is an issue. I believe every dog deserves a pleasant time while their owners are away. This is my commitment to you. I’m opposed to all forms of bigotry and prejudice, and I treat everyone with equal fairness. Thanks for reaching out for a meet and greet; if you choose to do so there will be no pressure to accept the booking. Generally I am up and I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Before our first sit, we can do an introduction to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. They can often really use a run, walk, or visit to the dog park, and getting outside is something I enjoy doing with dogs. As a sitter, I see and interpret subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch". A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will reach out if they stop drinking water or eating when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use a gate to block access to stairs, allowing them to come upstairs when I am going upstairs.

I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special care needs. Your pet will always be safe, happy, and cared for with me. I have my own dog as well and would treat your pet like my own!! I currently work on a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can leave work anytime on weekdays to take care of your pet. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of walks, playtime, and love while you’re away! I have A dog park right next to my apartment and one friendly dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines you provide. We have lots of dog toys and go on lots of walks everyday! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have sat for SO MANY families outside of this app over the years and will send you lots of photos of your pup if you want them!
“I highly recommend Carson to anyone looking for a dog walker. She is trustworthy, caring, dependable and genuinely kind, Carson walks my pups weekly, and I always have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from house sitting to dog walking since my teenage years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Neighbors, family friends, and family have trusted me to provide exceptional care for their furry companions. My deep love for animals led me to volunteer at the UCD Vet Center during high school, where I assisted veterinarians in hands on care. Later, I dedicated time to shelters like the Davis SPCA and the Pacific Palisades SPCA in Los Angeles, working with rescue animals and learning how to nurture even the most vulnerable pets. Over the years, I’ve rescued and rehabilitated numerous animals, many of whom became cherished members of my family. It’s been an incredible journey watching them thrive, whether it’s a senior dog finding comfort or a shy kitten finally coming out of their shell. My approach is rooted in holistic care, recognizing that diet, environment, and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health. I’ve seen firsthand how natural remedies, proper nutrition, and mindful interaction can transform an animal’s quality of life. Whether your pet needs a lively walk, a playful home visit, or overnight care while you’re traveling, I’d love to be their trusted companion. I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s unique personality, whether that means helping calm anxious pups or adjusting activities for a senior dog with mobility challenges. Feel free to ask me anything—I’m happy to share references or discuss how I can best support your pet’s needs. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged family member and giving them the same love and attention I’ve given animals my whole life! I am currently really flexible with days and hours available. I am working from home right now which allows me this flexibility. Open m- f as well as weekends I have a fenced yard and one dog at home that loves and gets along with all animals and is super friendly. I have plenty of space and separate rooms in the house along with a gate I can put up if your fury love wants a little space of their own for play time!
About: I have both dogs and cats at home so I am well versed with the effort it takes into caring for your pets.

“Sydney was an excellent pet sitter. She was very professional, organized and communicative throughout the 5 days she watched and walked my dog and cat. Sydney sent me information and pictures for each dog walk, keeping me up to date on my dog's sore paw and really gave me peace of mind knowing that a very caring responsible person was coming over twice a day to attend to my pets needs. I have been very impressed with Sydney and recommend her highly.”
About: I started sitting pets when I was eight, taking care of my own and others' herding breeds. I have had extensive time with Australian Shepherds and Border Collies and currently have a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix of my own! (A rescue we've done extensive training with. I'm happy to work with both dogs small and large! I am a self-employed photographer with ample time on my hands and am available with a flexible schedule. I am active on the weekends (hiking, skiing, biking), but if an adventurous dog hike is in store, then I'd love to help out! I do not do in-home care for pets because my lovely rescue Border Collie is not friendly with other dogs; however, I am happy to do client visits. I have a reliable vehicle and am very punctual.
About: Detail-Oriented Pet Sitter 🐾💕 I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and come from a family of devoted dog and cat people! I have a 16 year old Westie-poo🐶💕 She’s sensitive to touch and wasn’t very socialized when she was younger, so I’ve spent her life learning her preferences, respecting her boundaries, and advocating for what helps her feel safe and comfortable. She taught me that every pet has their own personality, communication style, routines, and quirks! I also understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I know firsthand how reassuring it is to receive updates and know that your pet’s individual needs are being respected. I’d love to provide that same peace of mind to other pet parents. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped family members care for small- to medium-sized dogs through boarding, walks, playtime, companionship, and everyday care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and instructions closely so they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home! 🐾 Currently home full-time (when I'm not volunteering at Nevada Humane Society Shelter) and am available to meet you and your pup to schedule drop-ins and walks. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care! 🐶💕 I’m generally available from the morning through the late afternoon on weekdays, as well as Saturdays. My availability can vary slightly from week to week, so feel free to reach out with what you need, I’d love to see if I can make it work! 💌🐾 🏡 I live in a spacious, clean apartment with **no pets of my own**, so your pup gets my full attention! 🐶💕 I have a large enclosed balcony for (supervised) fresh air time 🌤️🐾 and a huge dog park nearby for walks, exercise, and enrichment! 🌳🐕
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. From a Yorkie to a German shepherd I've been around different sizes Love to go for hikes or walks. Water days are always fun as well. I would like to walk dogs full time. My schedule is pretty open. Nothing after 1700. I'm open to weekends if we talk about it prior. I deal with reactive dogs a lot. If dogs don't know each other I tend to just handle one dog at a time. Some dogs just don't get along with others like people.
About: I worked at a pet hotel and doggie daycare for a year. We would create play groups for certain compatible dogs, feed, administer medications, and clean up after them. I also have two family dogs for the last 10 years. I currently work Thursday-Saturday and have four days off. Also I will not be working at my current job for the full month of February so I will have full availability! I currently am renting a room in a house so I would be unable to have pets over. I would be able to stay the night at the client’s home only. I can bring pets for long walks/hikes or just relaxing and playing whatever need be. I would also like a video of the condition of the house I’d be staying at in advance.

Incredible sitter who’s both reliable and consistent. She always spent extra time to make sure my puppy was well taken care of. Communication was great throughout, and I always felt comfortable having her in my home and trusting her with my puppy who I care about a lot.
Jessica is an awesome dog walker! She helped walk and feed my pup while I was at work. She sends the cutest pictures and gives a lovely summary of how the walk went. I am grateful for Jessica for being dependable and giving my pup oodles of love and attention! Thank you!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Reno. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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 walker.
