“Wow what a great sitter! Very professional and works with meticulous attention to detail. I felt absolutely safe leaving my pets and my home in MKs care. I came back to a very happy kitty!”
“Khine was on time with drop in visits while I was away, and provided updated and photos of what she did while in my home. I didn’t expect her to even see my two extremely people-shy kitties, but lo and behold, there they were…peeking around the top of stairs on day 1 to see who was in their house. And by the end of the week, Khine was petting one of them. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!
“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.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 15, starting with my first family dog. During summer and winter breaks, I cared for street dogs in Mexico, which required a lot of patience and taught me how to build trust with animals who don't come with a known history. Malena, the dog in my profile photo, was one of those street dogs. I took her in at age 5 and cared for her for a decade, until she passed two years ago. She taught me what real, consistent care for senior dog looks like. I bring this kind of attention to every dog walk and visit I take on. I work weekdays but come home at lunch for a potty break and I'm home by 2:45 p.m., so your dog is never alone more than about 4 hours. Great option for overnight boarding and evening walks or visits during the weekdays and more open during the weekend. I'm located in Midtown, just a 5 minute drive from the airport and 3 minutes from the freeway, so drop-off is easy whether you're catching a flight or hitting the road. You'll get daily photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy your trip! I have a fully fenced yard so I love letting dogs run free if it is safe for them to do so. I’m attentive and ensure pups are given enough exercise and space for rest and relaxation on a regular basis.
“Chelsea was a wonderful pet sitter for us while we were away on a camping trip. She arrived when scheduled, followed through with our requests, sent many photos, and provided exceptional communication when it came to updates and any problems. We came home and our kitties were well taken care, along with our home. Looking forward to our next trip knowing that we can have a reliable and responsible pet sitter available for our cats.”
About: I helped my mom take care of 4 boxers growing up which we bought as puppies. I love taking care and watching my friend’s pets. I am also an experienced RN just taking a break from nursing. I will treat your pet as family. I am willing to fit your pet care in to my daily routine. Some times I have trouble waking up in the morning but I am motivated to make money right now. I don’t think having pets in my home would be best. My normal job is RN, moved here from PA, taking some time to collect myself in between jobs and find a travel assignment that works for me. I will treat your pet like it is my family. Thank you for your interest and consideration.
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: I have owned dogs all of my life and have cared for and taught them all the basic pet commands. I have also worked at a doggy daycare for multiple months and have been a pet parent favorite Canine Coach I’m currently a college student that has class Monday through Friday mostly in the morning with evening classes on Friday. I am available all weekends for home/pet sitting. I am able to do overnight stays on weekends as long as I can go to class in the morning. In my own home I have a Dalmatian where I take him out hourly with 2 walks and if my schedule permits a car ride to the dog park. I always check my dogs water bowls and feed him two times a day with proper spacing of eating and exercise to ensure no bloating or stomach issues. I have also taught him to use the correct restroom spot in the backyard
About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years where I got to groom, feed and watch over dogs who would get dropped off for boarding or day care. I was also responsible for administering medication. I worked with all kinds of dogs no matter the size and have experience caring for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently working part time doing rehabilitation training for dogs with people aggression/fearfulness and dog aggression/fearfulness. I am very comfortable dealing with working with all types of dogs and I have proficient experience walking and handling large and or reactive dogs in high traffic areas. I currently have very open availability as I am on break from school so I am able to care for your dog anytime you need I always make sure to keep an eye on your dog at all times and spend as much time as I can with them. I will always make sure to do everything on time like walks, feeding, and if necessary medication
About: I’ve been responsible for my own dogs since I was ten years old. I’d walk them, clean up after them, and feed them. I also have a pet turtle and have had tarantulas and a leopard gecko as well, so I’m not scared of bugs or reptiles. In the summer of 2024 I also helped bottle feed five orphaned kittens and helped raise them up to 8 weeks old. From September of 2024 to the end of July if 2025 I worked as a Cat Caretaker at Rescued Treasure’s Cat Cafe in Las Vegas under the organization PALNV. There I got comfortable cleaning after cats, giving them medications, and feeding them as well. I’d often run the front desk and inform people about our organization and cats in general. I also have volunteered 346 hours at PALNV doing the same tasks as when I worked there. I’ve gotten 107 hours volunteering with Horses4Heroes as well, working with livestock. This included mucking stalls, feeding the animals, and showing kids how to lead miniature horses. I love animals and plan on applying to veterinary school after I graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno. I am a full time student in my second year, so pet sitting and walking will have to be around my school hours. But I’m free Fridays after two and on weekends. I am in the dorms though, so I don’t have a place to keep animals at. I am comfortable giving medications to animals and comfortable walking most dogs. I love both cats and dogs, and would be happy to sit for both. At my house we have timed feedings as well as free feeding at other times, so I can do either.
About: I have both dogs and cats at home so I am well versed with the effort it takes into caring for your pets. I am currently a kennel technician and doggy daycare attendant so I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work part time at a pet resort and animal hospital so being around pets has become a huge part of my routine ! I am available to provide pet care in the mornings, after my class or after work, and at night as well ! I’m comfortable with doing drop ins, overnight stays, and dog walking ! I understand that meeting new people can be stressful for our kids so I make sure to always take a gentle approach when introducing myself and being in their living space ! Message me for info about care at my home .
“Sidney was great with my dogs so I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good and trusting hands. Sidney was very aware of her surroundings in my neighborhood and would not do something that could put my dogs at risk. She even alerted me to a pet food recall for the dog food I asked her to feed my dogs. She checked the package of food and luckily it was not part of the recall. I was so grateful she did that. This was my first time using Sidney's dog sitting services and it won't be the last.”
“Kate was amazing and took such great care of our furry family member. It was our first time leaving him for such a long period of time, but because of Kate, he did awesome. We will definitely be looking to have Kate watch him again in the future.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Reno is $25

Devin is such a wonderful human because my cats truly loved him. He was so communicative and has such attention to detail. He also did go that extra mile and help me with some technical help with the litter boxes too and informed me of my cats unfortunate health soon. He is a great fit for your pets and I was surely stress free knowing my cats were with a friend
Khine was wonderful! She checked in on our dog Bandit twice while we were away at a wedding. Every time she arrived and left she made sure to let me know and take photos! She also took him for a little walk which wasnt even requested and she went above and beyond! I am an anxious dog mom and she put me at ease ensuring to send me updates! From the pictures and videos I received Bandit looked very happy! :) we will absolutely be using her services again!
Our puppy absolutely loves Carson and her drop-ins! 🐶❤️ She gets lots of playtime, attention and potty breaks. We always come home to a happy and tuckered out pup. Carson is reliable, caring, and patient. She took the time to learn our puppy’s routine to keep her training on track! We’re so grateful to have someone we trust completely with our puppy and our home.
Miranda is doing drop in visits for my dog Stella two days a week for me. So far, it has been fantastic. She arrives within the window that I need her to and spends some quality time with Stella and lets her outside. This week she even adjusted her schedule a little bit at my request. Thanks so much!!
She helped me with a last minute booking with my dog when the freeway pass closure prevented family watching my dog while I was on a work trip. Came by within an hour of me reaching out just to have an introduction with me and my dog. My dog Amari loved her!
Athena and Natas absolutely enjoy being taken care of by Luna when I leave town. I have no worries as Luna does an outstanding job sending numerous photos of my kitties while she interacts with them. Luna is very respectful and caring with the kitties. I am very happy with her watching them anytime.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Reno is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,053 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Reno. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reno. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
