“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“I was brand new to the area with no established pet sitter and needed to travel last minute. Local kennels couldn’t accommodate me on such short notice. A Google search turned up the Rover app which in turn brought me to Gina and Erik. They had good reviews and repeat customers, so I contacted them via the app. They could accommodate me, had good prices, and asked me if I wanted to come see their home first. My cat is both a mama’s boy and a bit of a scaredy cat. I’d never boarded him before. I was worried he’d think he’d been abandoned again. (He’d been a stray after being adopted as a kitten. He was nine when I adopted him.) He was anxious at first, but in the pictures and videos that Gina and Erik sent, I could see that he was relaxing with them more each day. On the day I was to drive back home, I woke with a migraine. There was no way I could do the drive. I had to ask for an additional day with no advance notice. Fortunately Gina and Erik were able to keep my cat one day longer. Also, I forgot to mention the poopy mess that Gina helped me clean up when I first dropped him off. They provided me with above and beyond service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“Kilo had the best vacation stay with April & Rachel (Aliyah & Honey too). He was so happy and came home exhausted!! He needed a day of RnR from his stay. Now for my personal review. Now that I have met April & Rachel, I would not take Kilo any place else to watch our boy. I felt so comfortable after our meet & greet with the living arrangements and with the humans watching over him. I knew he would be treated like a king and in good safe hands. I didn’t have to worry about him the whole time I was gone. April & Rachel sent us photos/videos of Kilo so that I could see first hand how he was doing. He was getting the love and attention (even more than when he is at home) and this made us very happy. It’s nice to know he’s in great hands when we are away. April & Rachel will be my first call for my next trip and I would recommend them for your pups too. 🐶 🐾”
“Anne took great care of my puppy while I was at a family reunion. She is very kind and flexible. Great communication, she put me at ease when I was worried about leaving him for the first time.she sent me pictures and videos of my puppy playing and having a good time. Annie’s dog Chase is adorable and super friendly. I highly recommend leaving your pets with Annie ❤️”
“Patty and Randy provided an excellent boarding experience for our dog Cookie! We had no hesitations from the moment we dropped Cookie off and saw how excited she was to see Patty and Randy's dogs who she had met the week before for a meet and greet. During Cookie's stay we were so happy to receive videos and pictures which confirmed that she was having a great time. Patty also reached out during Cookie's stay to ask us some questions to ensure she understood Cookie's habits and needs. We are so happy to have found Patty and Randy to board Cookie and thank them, BellaMae, Bizu, and Bindi Lou for the time, attention, and fun play they provided Cookie to ensure she felt secure, relaxed, and happy during her visit. It is so appreciated!!”
“Our Kennie is slow to warm up to strangers and other dogs and he made sure to take extra time with her to help her feel more comfortable! He also provided many updates to help us feel more at ease. This was our first time boarding our puppy and I could not be happier!”
“Jacob and his fiancée did such a wonderful job taking care of Teddy! He provided photos and updates often and I was confident he was being well taken care of. My puppy always looked so happy and like he was always having so much fun!”
“Our very anxious dog had the most wonderful time with Susan and her family! They gave her lots of love and took great care of her. Susan sent adorable pictures of our dog, who made herself right at home. I highly recommend Susan for boarding! We will be back for sure!”
“Megan and her family took such good care of my pup, they were patient and caring as it takes some time for Ollie to warm up to new environments. I received pictures and communication during his 7 day stay. I highly recommend booking, it’s such a relief knowing your pup is well cared for while you’re gone, thanks so much!!”
“They were awesome! Kept me up to date with pics of texts of my husky and their dogs were awesome with her as well 10/10 would recommend and would use them again! Thanks guys”
“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel through.”
“Faith watched our 3 dogs in her home for 1 week, The house was clean and the dogs had the their own room they stayed in which was also clean. She kept in good communication with us, sending photos of their stay. Would recommend Faith to watch your pet.”
“Lisa was honestly amazing. It was our first time leaving our rescue, and he had a blast with Lisa and Panda! He's a 100lb goober, but can be a handful, and Lisa made sure I never worried. We'll absolutely use her services in the future.”
“Gina and her husband were life savers. Our dog sitter fell through before a big holiday trip and they were able to take our pup with short notice. He seemed at home right away and continued to be having a great time during the updates we received while we were gone. We would definitely use them again and have no complaints at all!”
“Great service!! Both dogs seemed very relaxed when I picked them up. Wendy and her husband were very friendly and helpful. The photos they sent showed the dogs out and having fun. Thanks for the great service.”
“Tianyu X. has been an absolutely wonderful Rover sitter for our dog, Scout. From the start, Tianyu was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Scout and treated her like she was her own pup. We loved that Tianyu safely introduced Scout to other small-breed dogs, giving her positive socialization and playtime. She also brushed Scout, took her on regular walks, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It was such a comfort knowing Scout was not only cared for, but truly loved. We received great updates and could tell Scout was having a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tianyu to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Melissa is the best! Great communication and very dog friendly environment. This was my first time ever leaving Gus overnight & she went above and beyond to make sure he felt right at home. He and Cody were instant BFFs & it’s great to know he has someone who makes him feel so safe and comfortable when I am not able to be with him.”

About: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine.

When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Payson is an absolute gem! She is so caring, loving and attentive with our dog. You can clearly tell she loves dogs and all animals really. She provided lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciate. She even went above and beyond when our dog had an accident in the house too. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away, especially with her background in vet care. We’re so glad we found Payson to help take care of our dog when we’re away!”
“Sadie did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were working long hours and not able to be at home. Both dogs had the best care and there were zero issues. Would highly recommend!!!!”
“Faith was amazing with my cat Shiloh! I had to use Rover last minute and Faith was able to help me out and sent me photos and an update whenever I needed. I now have a trusted ca sitter that is near me.”
About: I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiarity, which is why I provide care that keeps them comfortable while you’re away. From regular feedings and fresh water to litter box maintenance and any necessary medication or special care, I ensure your cat feels safe and at ease in their home environment.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dayton
About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.
“We left our dogs with this sitter for a couple of hours and had absolutely no worries. One of our dogs had never been left in that type of setting before, so I might’ve been a wee bit nervous,.. but wendy was great, well versed and versed and made us feel quite comfortable. When we picked them up, both dogs were happy, chill and appeared to have a fantastic time and were well cared for. Great communication and updates even within the short time frame… We would highly recommend this sitter and would gladly book with them again! 🐾❤️”
“Very sweet, really cared about our dogs! It was our first time leaving our babies with anyone and we couldn’t have found better people to watch them. Will definitely be back”
“Gina and her family are wonderful. So caring, they are active with pets, and personable. Buddy was able to be himself, play and then kick-back and rest. Their yard is so doggie ready and Buddy made new friends. Very pleasant visit, Thank you!”
“Faith was awesome! She took a last minute request for me and did awesome with my pup! My boy came back happy and tired. Definitely will be using her services again. Thanks Faith!”
“Patty & Randy were perfect dog sitters for Beckham. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Beckham is usually a little shy, but he adapted quickly to their beautiful environment and their other three small dogs. We look forward to using their services again. It was a comfort to know he was in loving hands.”

“Megan took great care of our girls today. She kept in contact with us all along the way. Before we dropped them off and sent photos while we were away. We were very comfortable leaving our pups with her while we hiked. Highly recommend her services.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors, doctors, hospital CEOs, friends and family ever since I was 10. All types of dogs and requests and breeds. I’m at home unless I’m running to the grocery store or doing an extracurricular activity. I can be here for your fur babies when you have to be away. 😻 I have a 6ft fenced yard. I have the ability to separate my yard into 6 different areas at nearly half an acre. I have multiple kennels and some with tops and grooming and bathing equipment. In home day care is heavily screened. Your dog will not have access to the inside of my home, kids, or my pets. Large outdoor area and garage kennels will be fully accessible. Kennels are cleaned with vet rescue which kills parvo. Fresh water in kennels and outside. All are properly sanitized. Health and safety is top priority for everyone. Puppies not fully vaccinated will be in a separate area. Walks, my children will be attending if dogs are child friendly.
“Phoebe is very kind, and her love for dogs is apparent from the first time we spoke with her. We are very thankful she was able to watch our dog Atlas on short notice.”
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.
“Jessica and Eric have a wonderful home with a fenced backyard! It is just perfect for daycare, or overnight.Jessica was kind enough to send me photos of Layla and her dog enjoying their time together. Layla now has 3 new friends, and has asked me if I can schedule a return visit(lol)!”
“We took day care service with Jessica for our dogs. They had lovely time at her place!! Jessica was so accommodating and welcoming. Our fur babies enjoyed their stayed. She sent sooooo many pics our babies. Highly recommend her when you are in and around kings beach.”
“Our dog was very excited to arrive after recognizing Destiny’s house from our meet and greet with her dogs. Sounds like our dog had a great and fun day in her care, and Destiny’s communication was great!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by and dog-sat family members' pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will treat and love your dog like my own. I understand the anxiety of leaving your fur baby behind when you have to go, and I know what it takes to find someone worthy of caring for one of the most precious parts of your life. My own dog has behavioral challenges, so I understand what it's like to care for dogs with different temperaments. Whether your pup is reactive toward other dogs, pulls on the leash, gets nervous around strangers, or just has their own quirks, I won't be fazed - I'll meet them where they are and work patiently at their pace! My schedule is very flexible right now since I just finished my PhD research and I’m currently figuring out my next steps. Morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins are no problem at all, and weekends are just as open. I can also accommodate same-day and short-notice requests. I will be respectful of your home and leave it just the way I found it. And I'll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands!
“Carrie is awesome. When I sent her a message, she responded back super fast and is great about communicating when she can or cannot walk my dog. She is always punctual and has a wonderful personality. 😊”

About: Hello! My name is Meaganne, I’m 25 years old and I have been housesitting on and off since I was 13. I grew up with animals, so they have always had a special place in my heart. I have experience with pretty much any pet imaginable: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, fish, reptiles, donkeys, you name it! I’m mature, professional, timely and clean. I am excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your beloved pet. I work Mon-Thursday but have availability to check on your furry one before and after, and at bedtime if needed. Friday-Sundays are free for more round the clock care. I am not offering boarding at this time, but am happy to come to your home for overnight stays or just periodic check-ins throughout the day!
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and artist currently spending some time in the beautiful Reno/Tahoe area for art research and inspiration. My heart belongs to animals. My beloved Yorkie was my sidekick for 15 wonderful years, and we spent countless days exploring the outdoors together. Because I’m currently traveling and focusing on my art, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of love to give to your fur babies while I'm in town! I treat every pet like family. Whether your dog loves high-energy outdoor adventures, a relaxing stroll, or just quiet cuddle time while I sketch, I happily match their energy and routine. 📸 Stay Connected: You can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My Skills & Services 🐕 Dog Walking & Outdoor Play: Ready to explore local trails or just stroll around the block. 💖 Endless Love & Attention: Lots of snuggles, positive reinforcement, and companionship. 🍲 Feeding & Meal Prep: Experienced with specific dietary instructions and schedules. 💊 Medication Support: Comfortable maintaining moderate medication schedules. 🐈 Cat Friendly: Meow spoken here, too! I're happy to hang out with your feline friends. Your pet will always be treated with the utmost kindness, patience, and the same deep love I gave my own dog for 15 years. I can't wait to meet them! I am a self-employed artist and director of a small nonprofit, which gives me an incredibly flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Much of my work involves painting landscapes—capturing the beautiful mountains, lakes, and high-desert light of the Reno/Tahoe area. Because my art keeps me outdoors, I am always ready to take dogs along for fresh-air strolls, sniffing adventures, and outdoor playtime. When I am working from my laptop or sketching, pets in my care receive relaxed companionship, lots of attention, and plenty of snuggles. My flexible routine allows me to easily accommodate weekday or weekend care, house sitting, and extended stays. Your pet will seamlessly become a part of my creative, peaceful day! Since I am currently in the Reno/Tahoe area for art research, I'll mainly be focusing on House Sitting (in the client's home), Dog Walking, or Drop-In Visits rather than hosting pets at my residence (however, some exceptions can be made). Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my absolute priorities. Whether I am house-sitting in your home or visiting for walks, I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like family. Safety Outdoors: Because the Reno/Tahoe area has beautiful wildlife (like deer, coyotes, and bears), I keep all dogs securely on-leash during our walks unless we are in a designated, securely fenced dog park and you have explicitly approved off-leash time. I am also highly mindful of the pavement temperature and hydration during warm high-desert days. A Familiar, Relaxing Atmosphere: Inside your home, I strive to keep your pet’s environment calm, positive, and consistent. I love providing relaxed companionship—whether I'm sketching nearby or enjoying quiet cuddle time. Following Their Routine: I strictly follow your pet's established routine, including precise feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any necessary medication tracking. If your pet uses a crate, playpen, or has specific house rules, I will mirror them exactly. You can rest easy knowing your home is secure, and your fur baby is receiving dedicated, loving, and highly attentive care while you're away!
“We have a rambunctious lab puppy that I worried would be too much for my parents while we were out of town. My parents raved about Brianna. She walked our dog everyday for a week and he loved it and she really helped him get some energy out! We would definitely look to book her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Shaylin. I'm a recent grad in the USC area with a flexible schedule and genuine love for dogs — I've pet sat through Rover before and I'm back on the platform for dog walking through mid-May. I'll show up on time, send you photos and updates, and treat your dog like I'd want mine treated — patient on leash, attentive, and happy to match their pace whether that's a sniff-walk or a real workout. I'm traveling internationally starting May 18, so I'm best for clients who need walks in the next few weeks or who are open to a great walker for a defined window. If that works for you, I'd love to meet your pup. I am available to house sit and am happy to stay in your home at night if that makes your animal the most comfortable. I can drop in or go out for a walk throughout the day -- very flexible schedule. I would love to meet you and your animal before the stay if I am house sitting, or dropping in. I am happy to meet your pet the day of for walks. I understand that every animal and home is unique - I would love to be acquainted with your preferences.
About: Hi, I’m Annette! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter based in Incline Village with a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded approach to care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well-attended to, whether through neighborhood walks, quality time at home, or overnight companionship. I focus on providing a peaceful and structured environment for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am a great fit for dogs who enjoy a relaxed pace and steady routine, though I may not be the best match for those requiring highly intensive outdoor exercise or off-leash adventure outings. Being based in Incline Village with a flexible consulting schedule means I can get to most local neighborhoods quickly for drop-ins or walks This allows me to be highly responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a last-minute drop-in or staying at your home to keep your pet company during the day. Since I set my own hours, your pet’s routine becomes my priority. I believe pets are family members who deserve the same respect and care as any other resident. In a client’s home, my priority is maintaining the 'status quo' to minimize stress. I start by learning your pet’s specific cues, favorite hiding spots, and unique quirks. Whether it’s following a precise feeding ritual or ensuring the exact level of evening companionship they are used to, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost integrity. I am naturally observant and communicative, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos that capture your pet’s true comfort level.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've immersed myself in their care since the age of 13. From volunteering at shelters and farms to watching over various pets, I've nurtured a deep bond with creatures of all kinds. Whether it's a cat, dog, guinea pig, bearded dragon, or any furry friend, I'm committed to their well-being. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority, as I continually seek to improve my skills and connect with them on a personal level. Expect me to go above and beyond, treating your beloved pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time hours so my availability is flexible. I am available throughout the week and over the weekend as well. Let me know when you would need me and I can see how I can make that work for you. I have one dog and a cat at home. We have a very safe backyard that is surrounded by a fence and we make sure to watch them whenever they go outside. We make sure that when we leave the house that we’re not gone for too long so that our dog can go to the bathroom and that both our dog and cat are comfortable and emotionally secure.
About: I have a lot of experience with animal sitting, dog walking etc. Growing up my family has always had at least 3 dogs, I have had many cats in my lifetime as well. I have a flexible work schedule. I usually work Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but it varies. Typically, I work long hours around 10 or 12.

“I was brand new to the area with no established pet sitter and needed to travel last minute. Local kennels couldn’t accommodate me on such short notice. A Google search turned up the Rover app which in turn brought me to Gina and Erik. They had good reviews and repeat customers, so I contacted them via the app. They could accommodate me, had good prices, and asked me if I wanted to come see their home first. My cat is both a mama’s boy and a bit of a scaredy cat. I’d never boarded him before. I was worried he’d think he’d been abandoned again. (He’d been a stray after being adopted as a kitten. He was nine when I adopted him.) He was anxious at first, but in the pictures and videos that Gina and Erik sent, I could see that he was relaxing with them more each day. On the day I was to drive back home, I woke with a migraine. There was no way I could do the drive. I had to ask for an additional day with no advance notice. Fortunately Gina and Erik were able to keep my cat one day longer. Also, I forgot to mention the poopy mess that Gina helped me clean up when I first dropped him off. They provided me with above and beyond service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“Kilo had the best vacation stay with April & Rachel (Aliyah & Honey too). He was so happy and came home exhausted!! He needed a day of RnR from his stay. Now for my personal review. Now that I have met April & Rachel, I would not take Kilo any place else to watch our boy. I felt so comfortable after our meet & greet with the living arrangements and with the humans watching over him. I knew he would be treated like a king and in good safe hands. I didn’t have to worry about him the whole time I was gone. April & Rachel sent us photos/videos of Kilo so that I could see first hand how he was doing. He was getting the love and attention (even more than when he is at home) and this made us very happy. It’s nice to know he’s in great hands when we are away. April & Rachel will be my first call for my next trip and I would recommend them for your pups too. 🐶 🐾”

“Our very anxious dog had the most wonderful time with Susan and her family! They gave her lots of love and took great care of her. Susan sent adorable pictures of our dog, who made herself right at home. I highly recommend Susan for boarding! We will be back for sure!”
“Megan and her family took such good care of my pup, they were patient and caring as it takes some time for Ollie to warm up to new environments. I received pictures and communication during his 7 day stay. I highly recommend booking, it’s such a relief knowing your pup is well cared for while you’re gone, thanks so much!!”
“Faith watched our 3 dogs in her home for 1 week, The house was clean and the dogs had the their own room they stayed in which was also clean. She kept in good communication with us, sending photos of their stay. Would recommend Faith to watch your pet.”
“Lisa was honestly amazing. It was our first time leaving our rescue, and he had a blast with Lisa and Panda! He's a 100lb goober, but can be a handful, and Lisa made sure I never worried. We'll absolutely use her services in the future.”
“Gina and her husband were life savers. Our dog sitter fell through before a big holiday trip and they were able to take our pup with short notice. He seemed at home right away and continued to be having a great time during the updates we received while we were gone. We would definitely use them again and have no complaints at all!”
“Great service!! Both dogs seemed very relaxed when I picked them up. Wendy and her husband were very friendly and helpful. The photos they sent showed the dogs out and having fun. Thanks for the great service.”
“Our doggie had a great time in Sarah’s house; Sarah took a good care of Tarzan so that we had a worry free vacation! We are very happy with Sarah’s service; we will use her service again in the future！”
“I just got peaches about a month ago and was afraid to leave her. Sadie was great. She kept her busy having fun with other dogs and kept her routine for feeding sleep per my request. Peaches seemed very calm with her. Thank you Sadie.”
“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”
