“Ron is a treasure. I was very hesitant to leave my 2 year old pup with someone, but felt confident with Ron after our first interview. His home is neat, clean, and pet friendly with a beautiful, safe backyard. Our first booking was for 3 days to orient my Charlie-girl to Ron, preceding the 2 upcoming long stays I have booked. Total success! Ron sent pictures and comments each day and it was clear that Charlie was getting superior care. Ron is loving and cares for his boarders, and his dog Lexi is very patient with having another dog in the house getting attention.”
“This was my first time using Rover for overnight boarding of my two puppies. I was pleasantly surprised with Farrah! She was responsive and provided good updates on my furbabies. Her location is in a VERY nice part of town. I would book with her again because she took great care of my furbabies.”
“Laura was terrific with Millie. She made certain Millie ate even to the point of hand feeding Millie in the beginning of the nine day stay. Laura gave daily reviews. She gave the medication as needed. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Boomer had a great time with Christina and her family. She sent pics of him while he was in her care which made us feel even more comfortable leaving him. We would definitely leave him with Christina again.”
“Aaron and Nicole were great. Our pup was comfortable with them right away. They have a warm, dog-safe environment and the whole family seems to really care for the dogs. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Kat and Corey were wonderful! They took excellent care of our special-needs bulldog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, dependable sitters!”
“Very communicative and took great care of our pup! It was my first time leaving our dog with someone else and she did an OUTSTANDING job, our dog settled in quick and had a great time. Thank you!”
“Ivy took great care of our boy! She sent us pictures and messages about how he was doing. He appeared happy and healthy upon pick up. Ivy has a big back yard that worked well with our energetic and active Labrador. I would highly recommend Ivy as a trusted pet sitter!”
“Amazing people! I left my puppers with them for 2 days and they sent pics and updates constantly which was great especially because my dog is so skiddish with new people at first! Thankful to have had them board Athena 😊”
“Kathryn was very relaxed and experienced for taking care of my dog ZuZu. She has a good home environment for ZuZu and no issues during the time I was out. I got three pictures everyday from Kathryn. ZuZu was happy with her. I would use her service again in the future!”
“Samantha is truly the best! Every time I leave my pups with Sam, I have complete peace of mind knowing she and her family will treat my fur babies as their own. It’s such a blessing to know my pups are loved, safe, and genuinely cared for while we’re away.”
“So happy we found Kendra! We are new to the area and had to find a new sitter. Kendra was reassuring our pup would be in good hands, asked all the right questions to ensure she could give good care, and was flexible with our schedule. Our girl enjoyed her stay and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“I honestly couldn't put into words how thankful I am to have found Lisa on Rover! Tato had the best time and she constantly gave me updates and quickly became best friends with everyone! I'll definetly be rebooking ❤️”

“Catherine was awesome! She went above and beyond for my elderly cat with high medical needs and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable having her look after my cat”
About: I grew up with cats and have lived with them throughout my life, including cats with very different personalities. I’m happy to spend time with a social, cuddly cat or give a more independent cat the space they want and let them come to me on their own terms if they choose. I’ve also cared for households with both dogs and cats and have experience caring for a cat recovering from leg surgery, including keeping up with their needs and routine while they recovered. I genuinely enjoy cats and don’t expect every cat to interact with me the same way. Some want attention, some want playtime and some are perfectly content knowing I’m there while they do their own thing. I’m happy to follow the approach that makes your cat most comfortable!
“Michael was amazing caring for Chloe and also being respectful of the space. He spent time with Chloe and played, provided food and loads of love. I would definitely get his care again for Chloe.”
“I so appreciate Sherina's attentiveness and care for my kitty and for my space! I know both are in really great hands with her, and I'm grateful to have such a kind and reliable sitter!”
“Amber was great with my cat. Her updates were thorough and I appreciate her attention to detail. During the initial meet n greet, she was patient and listened attentively. She’s easy to work with. I’d be happy to have Amber take care of my cat again.”
“Chantelle is a great pet sitter. She is dependable and kind. My kitties were so happy when I got home, I just knew they felt so safe and loved. Thank you Chantelle!💖”
“Leah was wonderful. She was attentive, reliable and communicated well. She had no trouble handling our high energy kittens and kept them entertained and from destroying the house while we were away! We will definitely book with here again for future travel.”
“Lilian did a great job to take care and be with our fur baby Jimmy. I won’t take a second thoughts of leaving my baby with her on our next vacation.”
“We had an air conditioning issue while we were on an international trip and Grace made sure our cats were well cared for and cool, going way above and beyond. We are so grateful for her care.”
“Once again Emily did a great job watching my two cats while I was gone for the weekend. I can tell from all the pictures that she does a great job getting them engaged with their feather toy.”
“Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.”
“Khine was great, our cats are usually very shy but they immediately seemed to feel comfortable with Khine. She was very helpful and went above and beyond to take care of our cats.”
“Martha was punctual, trustworthy, and followed all instructions carefully. She kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely request her again the next time I leave town.”
“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”
“Ashley was great! She was on time, responded to messages quickly and my cats liked her right away. She took care of them, spent a little time with them each visit and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy cats. This was my first time using Rover and it was fantastic. And I’m very happy to have found you!”
“Cindy is wonderful! We are so glad we found her. She is so great with our cat—makes sure he not only gets fed but gets pet and played with. We will use her for future cat sitting for sure!”
“Krista was a great drop in pet sitter for our two kitties while we were away on an international trip. She gave daily updates & sent pics which were very much appreciated. Unfortunately, our booking had some severe weather complications & some dates had to be modified. She was very accommodating & we look forward to booking with her again in the future.”

She carefully introduced our dog to the other dog in her care and the two pups had a good time playing. Our dog is shy and anxious with new people, but seemed to do well with Shawna.”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah and my husband and I live in Reno, Nevada. We're entrepreneurs with a flexible schedule and love taking care of dogs. I had a black lab for 15 years and have watched many dogs over the years, including internationally with Trusted Housesitters, where I am background-checked and reviewed. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. We work from home and are flexible most days! Our weeks tend to vary, but we are great at communicating with the pet parent to find times that work for everyone. We have a three-story townhome next to the Wildcreek Golf Course and Melody Lane Park. We have two patios at our house for outside time, and take regular walks. Lots of space for roaming.
“Sarah was so friendly, accommodating and communicative! Even before we spent a full day with Sarah, our pup sprinted to her. Talk about a green flag! We really appreciated Sarah rescheduling our meet and greet a few times as well since the holidays are such a busy time.”

“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Enero and Angelina! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It wasn't just that she was doing her job—it was obvious from the way she interacted with them that she truly cared about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. Both dogs looked relaxed, happy, and well-loved in every update. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, and we could tell they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would gladly have her watch Enero and Angelina again!”
“Destiny is AWESOME!!! She is truly an expert but also has a special doggie superpower! The level of care and attention to detail is unmatched. She is communicative and very attentive to not only your pups needs- but also the anxious dog dad's needs. PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire this (actual) expert to care for your fur baby!”
“Brittany was great! Very good communication. Sent pictures of my pup during the day and was mindful of my old girl’s joints, making sure she didn’t play too hard. Would definitely use Brittany again!”
“My pups fell in love with Kellye! They were ready to go see her in the mornings! They got lots of exercise, snacks, potty breaks, play time, snuggles; quality love and care. They were pretty wore out at the end of our 4 days. I'll definitely use Kellye in the future! I can highly recommend with confidence choosing Kellye!”

“I’m using crutches at the moment and needed someone to walk my dog. This was my first time using Rover; it’s been a great experience. Cat replied to my request quickly and on short notice, which I appreciated. My rescue dog, a terrier mix, is not around other people very often, but he took to Cat immediately and returned happy each of the three days that she walked him. It’s all gone so well that I have another week of walks scheduled with Cat.”
“Kendra is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter; she’s reliable, flexible, and takes excellent care of my pup! I have nothing but great things to say about her and I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Kathryn has been reliable and trustworthy with walking my 2 doggies. I really have piece of mind knowing the dogs are going to get great care and a great walk while I'm at work!”
“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. 😊”
“I’m so pleased I connected with Khine. I have two large dogs, one is high energy boy & one that’s less ambitious, as she has a few more years on her. When we met with Khine, both my dogs liked her and were almost immediately comfortable with her. She is reliable, punctual and is confident handling my dogs. (Handling 2 large dogs is not a small task) I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends me after each visit. I believe Khine genuinely cares about my dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for the last 10 years. I had 2 French mastiffs and 3 French bulldogs but recently lost 2 of them to old age. I am very well versed in caring for senior dogs (my frenchie passed when he was almost 15 and my French mastiff passed when he was 10). I love taking my dogs on walks, camping, river trips when they love to splash around! I currently work full time for Meals on Wheels but am fortunate enough to have a hybrid schedule. I work into the early afternoons. My weekends are generally free to devote time to caring for your pets and your home. I’m also available to take your fur babies on walks in the afternoon/early evenings. I would prefer caring for your pups in your house, where I feel they are most comfortable. I am very trustworthy and clean and will treat your home with the utmost respect.
“We love Cindy! She is reliable and is just the sweetest with my dogs. We added a new pup to the pack and Cindy has graciously been working with our spirited little terrier mix 🧡 She makes my dogs day better with her awesome service.. Highly recommend 10/10!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! He has quickly become such an important part of Zara’s routine. The second she realizes he’s at the door to pick her up, she completely loses her mind with excitement—it’s the sweetest thing to watch. She absolutely adores him, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. He is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. Knowing Zara is happy, loved, and so excited to spend time with him gives me complete peace of mind. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your dog, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found him!”
About: I've grown up with 2 puppers and a few cats with most recently 12 years with my cat and dog. I am looking to give your pets some good outdoor time or just drop in and make sure they're fed and watered if need be! I can give medications if needed as well and have a background in pharmacy. I work per diem with an irregular schedule. I usually have availability on weekdays and/or afternoons. Due to my schedule I do need at least 24 hour notice before any drop ins or walks! I am just finishing up an educational training job going onto a per diem position that will have plenty of weekdays open for drop ins, walks or other play activities. I will not have a space to pet sit in my home however I will be able to travel to care for your pets at your home or wherever and set it up for your pet's preference.
About: I’ve had the privilege to be around all sorts of animals since I was 2, all from Terriers to German Shepherds, cats, and different birds as well. I grew up with all sizes so I’m used to big dogs and small dogs. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own in the past 6 years and have also been around many older fur babies as well. I currently working full time Monday-Friday 8a-5p but I’d still love to care for your fur babies as long as we can workout a schedule that benefits both of us! My number one priority is to always make sure your pets are as comfortable as needed since it can be stressful enough for their humans to be gone. Whether it is lounging on the couch with them, taking them outside, or simply playing with toys with them I like to make sure to keep their routine as similar as they have with you.

About: Dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with a fully fenced half-acre yard, two friendly Cavaliers and plenty of room to play. I've had dogs most of my life and have also cared for dogs for friends and families I've connected with through Facebook (see testimonials). Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work about 10 minutes from home and can come home for a lunchtime visit when needed. I typically feed dogs in the morning and again after work, and I can accommodate midday meals, medications or other care needs. Evenings and weekends allow plenty of time for walks, play and attention. Dogs stay with me as part of the family alongside my two friendly, neutered Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They’re welcome on the couch or bed and get plenty of attention and affection. My fully fenced half-acre yard has a large lawn, orchard, garden and sagebrush-covered hillside with lots of room to run, sniff and explore. I also have chickens that are separated from visiting dogs by their enclosed coop or a separate fenced area. I live in a quiet neighborhood directly on the Steamboat Ditch Trail, giving us easy access to walks without having to drive anywhere.
“My 6-month-old golden retriever puppy spent 5 days during Thanksgiving at Shanna's, she sent photos and updates daily and my pup had a great time with Shanna's dogs, and Shanna was kind enough to give my pup a Thanksgiving present. It is pretty hard to find a kind and thoughtful sitter, Shanna is definitely one of them. Strongly Recommended.”
“Monica was absolutely amazing watching Kirby! I could tell right away that he was in great hands — she sent tons of pics and check-ins throughout the stay, and Kirby looked so comfortable and happy in every single one. As someone who’s a little obsessed with my dog, that peace of mind means everything to me. Her house is clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. She and her partner are just an amazing couple, and I’d trust them with Kirby again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to snuggle my doooood!”
“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!”
“We loved Wendy! Gus was so happy with her. She was very caring, accommodating, and easy to get in contact with. She has a wonderful home with a dog friendly yard. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gus with Wendy again. Wendy consistently went above and beyond. We are so grateful.”
