“Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.”
“Averyl took great care of Banshee and our home. She shared wonderful updates, took Bansh on some nice hikes, and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
“Evan took great care of our 3 year old pointer while we were away for the weekend. He was very thoughtful about letting her get used to him and feel comfortable and made sure she had regular walks. Evan sent us plenty of updates and photos and he was very respectful of our house and left it spotless. We will definitely be booking Evan again and highly recommend him.”
“Malea was absolutely amazing! She sent us tons of pictures, frequent updates and went out of her way to give our dog a mini vacation while we were gone. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Aaron was fantastic! Redford had an amazing time; they went on plenty of walks and adventures, and I could tell he was really well cared for. Aaron also stayed at my house and left it in perfect condition. I'd highly recommend Aaron; he’s great!”
“Elizabeth was so kind and pleasant! She was very capable of taking my dog for walks and many pets! She even tidy up our kitchen and was very thoughtful when booking our reservation. Many thanks!”
“⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend Liz enough! She took incredible care of Bruno and treated him like family. From daily walks, snuggling to playtime, Bruno was happy and relaxed the entire time. Bruno loves Liz! On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned—everything just as I left it. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for Bruno truly sets her apart. I trust Liz again and again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone dependable, friendly, responsible and caring, look no further!”
“Maddie is an amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond for us when our dog got unexpectedly sick. She took her to the vet twice, did an amazing job communicating with us, and gave the best care we could have asked for. Thank you Maddie!!”
About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.
“Thank you for watching Pliny for the whole day. And for the pictures! It was nice to know she had someone with her while we were gone. We appreciate the time you spent with her!”
“I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!”
“We used Zac a second time and were really happy with him house sitting our dogs again. The dogs were super happy when we got back, he stayed on top of their meds, and the house looks great. We feel good trusting him with both Mac and Cody, the latter of whom is a bit tricky because he’s reactive with some other dogs. We highly recommend Zac for dog house sitting!”

“Lidia did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my 7 month old kitten while I was away. She was communicative throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. She was also flexible, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my kitten’s needs. I would absolutely hire Lidia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She was a pleasure to work with!”

Liz was a fabulous fit for us! She took amazing care of our 13 year old Weim Archie. She was super communicative (which I loved!) and took excellent care of the house in addition to Arch. Would hire her again in a minute. Top notch care, extremely professional, and I returned home to a clean house and happy dog!
Sage was a wonderful house sitter companion for our dog Buddha. Lively, energetic and caring, she pampered our pup while we were away for a day. Always sending photos of their adventures together, and keeping up communication with questions about his care. When we returned our home was clean with obvious extra effort involved. We highly recommend Sage and hope to see her again.
We used Zac a second time and were really happy with him house sitting our dogs again. The dogs were super happy when we got back, he stayed on top of their meds, and the house looks great. We feel good trusting him with both Mac and Cody, the latter of whom is a bit tricky because he’s reactive with some other dogs. We highly recommend Zac for dog house sitting!

THE BEST!!! She is an amazing, caring, beautiful soul! Roxy loves her and will book her over and over again. She sent us photos all the time updating us on how Roxy is doing. For years we did not have anyone to take care of Roxy and finally Grace came like a blessing from the sky.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Truckee on Rover is $104.34 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Truckee. 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 Truckee 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 Truckee 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 Truckee 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.

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.
