“Bailey let me feel at ease leaving my fur baby on vacation. She sent me updates which I appreciated. All around positive experience with her as my first rover. Definitely will reach out again in the future. Thank you Bailey!”
“Jacelyn house sat and took care of our two cats for almost two weeks while we were gone and did an amazing job. She gave our babies all the love and care we could have asked for and was so respectful of our house! We have one cat who has specific dietary needs and she was great with that as well. We were looking for someone who would be able to spend time with our babies and not just stop by for 20 minutes a day and she went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend her and we will be rebooking again for our future trips. She also sent us lots of updates and pictures everyday. Jacelyn is the best and so sweet!”
“Cassandra was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, I am the type of owner that gets very anxious to leave my pups and she eased my conscience being very communicative and sending lots of photos every day while I was gone for over a week. One of my dogs has severe anxiety and she handled him like a breeze - had him curled up in her lap within minutes! Even changed her schedule around a bit to better accommodate my pups and spend more time with them - absolutely wonderful energy and you will not be disappointed when booking with her!”
About: Apart from my own mini aussie, Hobbs, I have cared for friends and families pets ranging from puppies to equine. My own dog is going on 13 this year meaning I am no stranger to administering medication or following special care instructions. I also have my own flock of chickens that I’ve raised from a day old. I’ve had to treat them medically numerous times making avian care well known to me. In addition, I’ve grown up around and involved in care for horses and other livestock (goats, sheep). Don’t be afraid to reach out about special requests for exotics either! I’m currently going to school at UNR but classes are over at 3pm! Late afternoons and nights work great. On weekends I can accommodate overnights. I am working a part time job, so my fluctuating schedule will be reflected in my availability. While I don’t currently offer services in my own home, I have my own vehicle large enough for big dogs in case of emergency! Otherwise I will abide by any and all house rules and instructions :)
“Tracie was a wonderful sitter!! She was attentive and loving to my dogs. One of the dogs needs medication and that did not trouble Tracie at all. She was a pleasure to deal with. I would happily rebook any time!”
“She was amazing! My dog absolutely loved her and might even be a little upset she won't be seeing her new friend. Got frequent updates and pics. Took great care of my place and made sure everything was ready for my return home. Ill definitely be booking again”
“More than 5 stars! Devin was AWESOME with my difficult dog Oliver. Very communicative throughout the stay with pictures and daily updates. Followed the instructions that I left to a T! The best part was that Oliver seemed to have a great time with him (I'm sure he will post some pictures) I hope to book him again this summer if I need to go on another trip.”
“Sidney is a stellar sitter! She is great at communicating and our cats absolutely love her! I honestly cannot give Sidney a higher recommendation other than saying I will always contact her first when I need someone to stay with my pets. She is respectful and caring and honestly the best pet sitter I've ever worked with!”
“Outstanding sitter. Numerous daily pictures, walks, activities. Pets all received lots of love. House in perfect condition upon return. We will absolutely request her to care for our pets and home again!!!”
“Vanessa was phenomenal with Cheyenne! She was so attentive to all of her needs and interested in how she could make her as comfy as possible with a new person. She was extremely responsive and shared regular updates and pictures, and helped set up a meet and greet and a warm hand off before I left. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to stay with their furry friend :-)”
About: I have dog sat and cat sat for many different families over the years. I also have three dogs back home that I absolutely love and miss while I’m away at college, so getting to spend time with and care for other people’s pets is something I really enjoy! I’m more than happy to stay in your home because I know pets can feel more comfortable being in their own space and sticking to their normal routine. I love taking dogs on walks or even car rides if their owners are comfortable with it. I have experience with animals of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I’m available between classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each pet stays as close to their normal routine as possible. Im never afraid to give a quick call if I’m unsure about something. I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home, doing drop in visits, taking pets on walks, and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I’m a first-year student at the University of Nevada, Reno. I am originally from Las Vegas, NV but came here to pursue and study my future career in Veterinary Medicine. I’ve always had a big love for animals which is why I chose this career path. I have two dogs of my own and have plenty of experience feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for them. I enjoy learning each animals unique personality and routine. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will always treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Nevada, Reno. My classes end fairly early, with my latest class ending at 12:50 p.m. on Wednesdays, so I’m generally available in the afternoons and evenings. On weekends, I prefer mornings when possible, but I’m flexible and happy to work together to find a schedule that works well for both of us and your pets needs. I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and most importantly feel loved and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and care for your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own.
“I just wanted to express my gratitude to Ruby for doing such a fantastic job looking after my baby. We were away for three nights, and Ruby stayed in constant communication throughout. As someone who travels frequently, I am relieved to have found someone trustworthy to take care of my dog while I'm away. I highly recommend Ruby's services and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
About: I have always had pets since my childhood and now I have a terrier/heeler dogo named Aaliyah. I absolutely love pets and caring for them brings me so much joy! I have been caring for pets since I was in my early teen years so for about 10 years. I promise I’m the girl for the job! :) I work Monday through Friday and the earliest I start is 8am and every day besides Thursday I’m off by 6pm. I usually am free on the weekends and holidays. I have my own transportation so I am happy to commute. If you’d like to do a meet and greet before your requested service, I am happy to do that. Depending on the service requested, I will ensure that whatever it may be you ask of me is completed. I will follow directions with precision and care. I will ensure pets feel cared for and seen while their owners are away.
“Cindy spent time walking & giving lots of affection to our furkids. Cindy also changed our girl's foot bandage as needed & even made sure her PT exercises & red light therapy were done each day. Cindy is dependable & responsible. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furkids.”
About: I've had experience with cats and dogs my entire life, reptiles since I was 15, and birds since I was 16. I have specifically been petsitting others cats and dogs for around 8+ years. While I work full-time Monday-Friday, I am sure that I still have time and energy to give. I would love to spend my extra time on weekends spoiling some pets. I'm used to spending lots of time outside with energetic dogs and wearing them out. I like playing with dogs and cats (assuming your cat likes to play), and spending time with more exotic animals to encourage socialization.
“Abril was WONDERFUL. She was communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs and home in her care. We got a snowstorm and she even shoveled my driveway before she left. Will 10/10 have her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Reno
Emidio was great with my two dogs! I booked on short notice, he came over the week before the stay for a meet and greet, and he was clear in communication. While he was staying at my house he sent several messages with pictures of the dogs. When I got home the dogs seemed comfortable and happy. I would recommend Emidio and would book with him again. Thank you Emidio!
Jackie is the best dogsitter I've ever hired! She took my 3 pups on lots of hikes and walks, and they were SO happy and tired when I got back from my trip. She even cleaned my yard and house of her own volition, which was a really lovely surprise to come home to. Def hiring her again!
Jacelyn was the best thing to ever happen to us, truly. I am such a nervous dog mom to leave my two pups on vacation, but Jacelyn cared for them like they were her own. I felt so much better knowing she was at the house taking care of them. It put me at ease and allowed me to relax on vacay! Jacelyn is easily reachable and will send updates and pictures :) she followed all house rules and took care of them perfectly!!! She is the kindest, sweetest, dog sitter you will ever find. Do not hesitate to book her, as I will 100% book her again in the future.
Kayla was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Topi in her care while I was away, and I truly appreciated having someone I could trust to look after my girl. It means so much to know Topi is in good hands when I can’t be there. Thank you, Kayla, for taking such good care of her! ❤️
Lauren took great care of our dogs while we were out of town, and even managed to coax the nervous boy to get outside his comfort zone on a new trail. She was responsive, sent photos and updates, and left our house clean. Would definitely book with her again for in home care.
Devin was a great sitter! He stayed with our two girls for two nights. He was very communicative and responsive and sent lots of updates which I appreciated as it was our first time having him stay at our house. The girls were also very happy. I plan on using Devin again in the future!
This was our second time booking with Analysa and we will definitely be booking again in the future. Leaving our dog for 10 days makes me anxious, but receiving regular updates, including pictures, and knowing that she was in great hands really helped ease that anxiety. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter!
If you are looking for your Dream Dogsitter, you have found her in Rachel!!! Rachel watched our three doggies, whom we had never gone anywhere without. She took such amazing, around-the-clock care of our fur babies! I had nothing but total peace while my beloved doggies were in Rachel's care, THAT is priceless!!! My husband and I were able to fully enjoy our trip! She administered muliple medications perfectly for our senior boy, he regularly spits meds out. Rachel is just so phenominal as a dogsitter! She snuggled and loved ones our dogs like we do while we were away! She sent and posted so many wonderful, endearing, hilarious photos of our babies at least twice a day! There were changes and added duties like putting Snout Soother on our little princess and Rachel not only rose to the occasion and perfect fulfilled last minute requests for our doggies and even brought in packages from our porch! She kept our babies so calm and relaxed! Rachel is so flexible, kind, ethical, integrous and professional, she is truly extraordinary! I wish I could give her 10 out 5 stars! Thank you Rachel, you exceeded all of hopes and expectations in the perfect care of our precious fur babies! Thank you, hardly seems adequate!!! Let's give Rachel so much work and allow her shine with your beloved fur babies too!!!
Megan was absolutely amazing!! She was so understanding to my need for several visits in advance so my dog could become comfortable with her and she took amazing care of him while I was out of town so I didn’t need to worry about him at all. I received great daily updates and pictures and felt very at ease during my vacation. I am very grateful and will be using her again. Thank you Megan!
Reese did absolutely amazing with my 2 month old belgian malinois puppy and my 4 month old kitten. She was very attentive with my puppy’s sleep schedule and her specific food needs. She made sure to play with her and give her lots of love, time, and affection. I will be rebooking with her many times in the foreseeable future! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Reno walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Reno maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
