“She is seriously the best. She keeps me updated the whole time and sends the sweetest photos during her visits, which makes such a difference. This is our second time booking with her, and I feel so much more at ease knowing my fur baby is in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Huge thank you to Jessica for taking such wonderful care of Ava and the kitties while we were away! It’s such a comfort knowing they were in loving, capable hands. The updates, the cuddles, and the extra attention made all the difference. We came home to happy, relaxed pets — and that means the world. Highly recommend and looking forward to the next time!”
“Chris is wonderful with my dogs. He gave Pearl and Pippi plenty of exercise, very important for my German Shepherd, especially. He also straightened up the house a bit, which was very nice, and sent frequent photos.”
“Danika was available lastly minute and I couldn’t be happier. She did an amazing job caring for our pups. She was thorough and caring, gave lots of cuddles, walks, and provided pics. She was great to communicate with and I felt at ease knowing she was there.”
“Sofia has gone above and beyond caring for our 4 dogs while we were out of town. Her sweetness and attention to detail with our dogs, made us feel not worried. Usually our dog Feebs barks at sitters, and she didn’t with Sofia. We would definitely love to bring her to sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you!!!!”
“Tracy was so communicative and attentive with our big special pitbull. He requires extra care and caution with his reactivity and we felt safe leaving him in her hands. She sent us tons of updates every day and asked thoughtful questions about what he needed. We even met a few times before she watched him to make sure she had all the info needed and to make sure we were on the same page. I felt like Tracy really cared about our dogs well being and took the responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Tracy and Richard to look after your furry friends!”
“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! 🐾”
“Kinan was exceptional. He took great care of our two pups, made sure the house was spotless when we arrived home, and helped us with a very big project. Can't recommend him enough, and plan to work with him again!”
“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.”
“Carla was amazing, every day she would keep me updated. Send me pictures and videos of my dog kept my place clean, and I came home to a well organized home and a happy dog. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“We got daily updates on Millie for the almost 2 weeks we were out of town for our wedding. Millie was excited to see Dustin when he arrived, which of course makes us happy and comfortable to see. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
“Michael was wonderful with our 4-year old lab mix, Vito. He sent pics multiple times a day and kept our pup happy while we were gone. We would definitely book Michael again!”
“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!”
“Erin is awesome and my three dogs love her! She works with dogs regularly, so I knew she would be able to handle the chaos. 😂 This was the first time she watched them, and since it went well, I hope to hire Erin again!”
“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I would happily recommend her!”
“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.”
“Antoinette is responsible, attentive, and friendly! For my first booking with her, she watched my cat for five nights. She set up an in-person meeting beforehand and paid careful attention to his food and play preferences. She also sent photos updates with each meal, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even brought in a package for me without having to ask. I’d happily book her again!”
About: I had a dog from the ages of 2 to 15. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to get a new one since then (I am 20 now), and I miss having a pup around! I learned how to take care of her from a very young age, and I also have experience with dog sitting for friends as well as babysitting my nieces regularly. I currently work part-time with consistent 8 hour shifts on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm and a occasionally a few shorter shifts throughout the week. This makes me available to be hanging out with your dog Sundays through Thursdays for majority of the day, and before and after work Friday and Saturday! I grew up with dogs that I no longer have, and I've pet sat for friends and family many times! I also am an aunt to two toddler girls that I watch fairly consistently. I figure that if I can handle those crazy girls, I can handle your crazy dogs! I can follow exact instructions to ensure you know what kind of care I will be providing, and I can also just use my experience and knowledge of keeping babies alive!

Tracy is absolutely amazing! She took great care of my dog and would send updates frequently throughout the day that would include pictures and general information about the care my doggy received. My dog requires medication prior to meals and Tracy went above and beyond with adhering to my dog schedule and ensuring that she got all her needs met! I would highly recommend her and when I will be asking for her to watch my doggy again!
Devon was fantastic. Great communication throughout the process. We had a very good meet up beforehand and then she was right on time when the sitting was starting. She sent regular updates and took very good care of our two pups… gave them all the walks and attention they need (as one of our dogs gets some separation anxiety). She did a fantastic job.
We love Kailey, and our pets do too! She provided wonderful communication throughout our trip and sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and a spotless house. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

Jaden was such a joy to work with. From our first meeting, until the end, They were super responsive and respectful of our house. Took great care of the dogs and made sure to give us updates each day! We can’t thank you enough and look forward to having you stay in the future! Thank you!!!
If I could give a million stars, I would. Makiah is absolutely the best sitter. Harley was a little under the weather when I left, so I made sure Makiah had my neighbor’s contact information in case anything happened while I was away and out of service. Unfortunately, Harley did end up needing a trip to the vet, and Makiah handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She kept me updated every step of the way, administered medications, cleaned up after Harley, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was how quickly Harley warmed up to her. It’s clear that Makiah genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I cannot express how grateful I am for the level of care, compassion, and attention she provided. Knowing Harley was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would trust Makiah again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
Megan did an absolutely outstanding job. All of our pets immediately fell in love with her. She kept us posted with photos and we could see they were happy and cared for the whole time. Megan is very professional and we intend to use her next time we go out of town. 😁
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.
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 :-)

FAQs for House Sitting - Reno
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Reno on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 730 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.
