“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our two dogs! She sent pictures and videos daily of her spoiling them and they adored her- one even tried to leave with her ?! She left our house extremely clean and we we’re so incredibly thankful she was able to stay for a week while we were away. The dogs are very hesitant towards new people and she handled it amazingly well, and she was able to give my dog all of his medications with ease.”
“Cynder was respectful and quick to respond. She sent pictures throughout the time she watched our kitties. We felt comfortable while we were away and trusted her to keep our fur babies safe! Thank you Cynder!!”
“Danika was very professional and kind to our pup. She sent lots of update photos and walked her as much as we asked her to. She kept us informed about how things were going and when we returned our pup was as happy as ever so I trust she was taken care of. She also kept our home clean and took out the trash for us.”
“Niles is AMAZING! We have a nervous chihuahua that never calms but Niles was able to get him to settle so well! We had a great experience and have already booked for another house sitting! I felt so much better this vacation knowing Niles was with my boys!”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
“I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found Ella! She took such wonderful care of my two Frenchies, treating them like they were her own family. She also respected my home as if it were her own, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Ella, it was an amazing experience. She kept me updated throughout her stay, checked in regularly, and sent lots of adorable pictures. Knowing my pups were safe, happy, and so well cared for made it easy to enjoy my time away. Ella stayed overnight with our Frenchies for 7 nights and 8 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be booking with this amazing young woman again. Highly recommend!”
“Sherina was amazing!! I was so nervous about leaving my dogs while I was on vacation but she did an awesome job with them. They got tons of exercise and outside time. The house was clean and well kept when I returned, and my girls were happy and healthy when I got back.”
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.
“Hannah was super sweet, and did a great job taking care of Sierra and the house. She asked lots of good questions during the meet and greet, and came by again to do a little practice walk so she’d feel equipped to work with Sierra’s reactivity issues. She was really good about staying in touch and communicating, and asked questions if she had them. She was great and will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Johanna was fantastic! I have a 16 year old pup and she did excellent taking care of her. I felt comfortable having her in my home and she’s great at communicating updates. I would absolutely use her again, no hesitation.”
“Kinan goes above and beyond as both a sitter and dog walker. He takes exceptional care of my German Shepherd, Zara, and it’s clear how much he genuinely loves animals. As a house sitter, he’s the best I’ve ever had—he left my home spotless, was so respectful of our space, and spent so much quality time with my girl while I was away. I can’t recommend him enough—10/10!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Catherine! She stayed at our home and cared for our dog Kai, and from the moment we left, we felt completely at ease. Catherine is the kind of pet sitter every dog parent dreams of finding — attentive, warm, and genuinely passionate about the animals in her care. Kai absolutely adored her. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins throughout our time away, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Catherine didn't just "watch" Kai — she loved on him, kept his routine consistent, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Our home was also left in perfect condition, which speaks volumes about the kind of person Catherine is. Trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring — she's a rare find. We will absolutely be booking her again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family. Thank you, Catherine — Kai misses you already! 🐾”
“Carla was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent photos and videos along the way. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with Cheyenne, and that Cheyenne felt super comfortable with her too. I recommend Carla to anyone going away for a weekend and needing someone to stay with their pup!”
“Super sweet, and took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She instantly felt like family, and took care of my babies like her own. I will DEFINITELY be using her again when I come to this area visiting family.”
“Viviva was fantastic with my dog while I was away. She’s dependable, kind, and truly attentive. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Martha was great! I have an old dog with some mobility issues and extra needs, she handled them with no complaints. She sent lots of photos and he’s in great shape after spending the week with her!”

Danika was great again. She was very flexible and helpful when we had some unexpected travel delays and she made sure our pup stayed safe and happy. Let us updated the whole time and even put out our garbage can even though we forgot to remind her to do so. Our dog was very happy to see her which was the biggest reassurance :)
Makiah is a life saver! She accepted our house sitting request with short notice and took excellent care of our Milo. She gave us peace of mind by checking in with photos, which we can see that Milo adored her, he was all smiles. She left the house spotless and followed instructions. I’d highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.
Skylar Is a rock star in my book! she had to come in and take over pet sitting at my house when the first pet sitter never showed up. She kept me informed for any changes and asked if I mind if she left for a bit. I was very happy with her since she had no instructions and came in blind. I would definitely hire her again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Devon! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable during the Fourth of July fireworks. She also kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, so we always knew how they were doing. It was clear she genuinely cared for our dogs, and they were calm and well cared for when we got home. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Holly provided us peace of mind as she took excellent care of our dog and home! Through the years of consistent care from Holly, we have always appreciated her great communication - including updates and pictures of our furbaby. When a minor problem came up with our AC this stay, she was quick to respond and let us know what happened so we could confirm and offer our support. In addition to giving our dog lots of love and attention, she also watered our outdoor plants which were thriving upon our return!
Stacy was responsive to our dog’s needs. he has many idiosyncrasies and Stacy catered to them. Jack was safe and well cared for. Stacy left our home clean and tidy. Not easy with a 2 year old golden retriever. She kept him busy with morning walks and backyard play time. Stacy is a dream to work with. She communicated frequently and let us know Jack’s activities through photos and video. Stacy will be my go to for house sitting Jack.
Emily was absolutely incredible with our fur babies! This was our first experience having a sitter, and she set the bar high. Due to our advanced planning window she was incredibly accomodating and flexible meeting the animals twice prior to the actual appointment. She sent daily photo updates - unpromtped - keeping us in the loop to their behavior and demeanor while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible and very sweet. Upon returning home everything was as we left it, and the animals were happy, healthy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking Emily in the future! :)
Would leave more than 5 stars if I could. Lilly went above and beyond during her stay. She helped us out a ton by taking our trash out on pickup day and washed sheets/towels that were used during her stay, which made our return that much easier. The photo and video updates of the cats helped ease our minds during our trip. Communication was excellent the whole time.
This is our second time using Tracy to stay at our home and dog sit bandit. And once again I'm buying grateful! She ALWAYS checks in, goes above and beyond and walks our dog. He is always so happy with her and I can tell she truly cares about the well being of our fur baby! Thank you tracy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Reno
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Reno on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Reno. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reno. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
