“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! 🐾”
“We were really nervous about leaving our anxious dog while we traveled. Toby house sat her and our two cats and was so patient with her, gave us regular updates on how she was doing, and let her warm up slowly. We were so relieved that it was a good experience for our nervous dog and grateful to Toby for keeping her comfortable.”
“Rachel was fantastic from the beginning: communication was easy, my dog was super comfortable during the pre-booking meet and greet, and the sitting went flawless. I’ll definitely try to book again next time!”
“I would give Terika and Dylan 10 stars if it were an option. They were outstanding! I have two large dogs that are not always friendly. They both loved Terika and Dylan right away. Several hours after I left for my trip, my house had to be evacuated due to a large, fast moving wildfire. Terika and Dylan took my dogs to their house, but it was evacuated a few hours later. They moved with the dogs a second time and were out of the houses for a few days. They were excellent at keeping me updated as to how everyone was doing during this stressful time. When I returned home, everyone was safe and happy. I would highly recommend Terika and Dylan to anyone looking for house sitters. They will take loving care of your fur babies.”
“Outstanding sitter. Numerous daily pictures, walks, activities. Pets all received lots of love. House in perfect condition upon return. We will absolutely request her to care for our pets and home again!!!”
“Emidio was great with my two dogs! I booked on short notice, he came over the week before the stay for a meet and greet, and he was clear in communication. While he was staying at my house he sent several messages with pictures of the dogs. When I got home the dogs seemed comfortable and happy. I would recommend Emidio and would book with him again. Thank you Emidio!”
“Cassandra was amazing. She did an awesome job taking care of my dog. Cassandra was very loving ❤️ and my dog felt very comfortable around her. Thank you Cassandra. I would definitely book her again. I'm very happy to have joined Rover. Thank you so much.”
About: I have had animals my entire life growing up and have always loved them. I know how to take care of pretty much every domesticated animal there is! I currently work full-time. But I am able to leave at lunchtime to go spend some time with the animals and I don't start till 9 so I have plenty of time to get a morning walk in. I live on 5 and an half acres and currently have three friendly doodles. Who would be happy to hang out with a friend for the weekend.
About: Hello! I have taken care of animals for many years. Growing up we always had at least 4 animals around. I would help out on my ranch a lot. I have been pet sitting/housesitting for many years now. Consistently would hike a group of dogs for 6-8 miles 2 times a week. Love all kinds of animals; cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians etc. I have puppy trained and have had senior animal care jobs in the past! I have two dogs and two cats who are my entire world! I have a lot of availability in my schedule as of right now! I am available every day of the week for many drop in visits, walks, hikes, whatever you could need! I also am always available for overnight care and housesitting/petsitting. I am very loving with all animals! I make sure to give them lots of cuddles and attention. Will be very open to whatever is asked of by the owners and follow along with whatever is needed!
About: Reliable and attentive dog caregiver with hands-on experience providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. Known for building strong bonds with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize safety, routine, and emotional well-being, ensuring each dog feels comfortable, stimulated, and cared for as if they were my own. Trusted by owners for clear communication, consistency, and genuine compassion for animals. I'm currently working only part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Mostly off at nights but am pretty flexible as long as you contact me in advance Based in Northwest Reno with a quiet and safe neighbourhood .I have a huge fenced backyard and a super friendly dog that's 10years old (if you think he would be a problem I can always leave him at my neighbours house). I have a big 4 bedroom house and dogs are allowed on the couch.
About: I’ve been around all types of animals since I was 5. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by horses, cows, chickens and dogs. I would help take care of all of these animals with my Grandma, and took a special interest in horses and dogs. I’ve worked on a few farms with both of these animals, taking care of them, exercising them, training them, and feeding them. I also have my own dog, Scarf. Scarf is an Australian Shepherd who is an absolute love. But, I got her during COVID so she had a few behavioral issues because she wasn't socialized very well during that time. I worked very hard with her everyday to teach her basic training things, and I trained her in agility to make sure she felt like a working dog which is important for an Aussie. She had some aggression issues, so I slowly introduced her to other dogs and soon after, the dog park! Now she can go to the dog park without a single issue. All of this said, I have plenty of experience taking care of animals. I am reliable, smart, and happy to assist with your animal care needs :) I currently work 5 days a week, from Tuesday- Saturday starting at 4:30 and going till 9:30. I am available for your morning pet/house care needs. I can stay with your dogs or watch over your house during the weekend, from when I get off work on Saturday night until Tuesday afternoon. I can take care of your pets in whatever way you need in your home. Because I’ve been around animals all my life I know the specific needs each pet needs, and willing to help in any way.
About: I've owned and cared for all pets including dogs, cats, and birds. I am thorough with ensuring your pet is well-cared for. I have experience giving animals medicine and comforting them during their separation from their families. I work during the day at a bank but have evenings and weekends available. My work schedule is hybrid so I am also available during the week for special care instructions. I have a fenced front and back yard, I live close to the riverwalk district so I can take pets for walks in a safe area.
“Mackenzie was wonderful! Great communication from start to finish, clearly loves dogs, and took such good care of our dog and our home! And we loved getting the photos of our happy pup while we were out of town. We will happily use her again!”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic taking care of my pups over a weekend for me. She sent regular updates and I can see she truly cares about animals! She’ll be my first choice for future pet sitting needs!”
“Carly is fantastic! So sweet, clearly loved our pup the second they met (feeling was mutual!), and we immediately felt comfortable having her stay in our home. She is communicative and had the time to spend with Rocky over the weekend. She also left the house cleaner than we left it, which was so appreciated!”
About: Ive had many dogs over the years, ranging from large to small. Also, a cat thats been with me my whole life (19 years and just recently passed away.).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Verdi
Helen is amazing! She was so patient and understanding with my rescue boy who has trust issues and gets very nervous around new people (from his past life), and my high-energy, crazy 2-year-old puppy. She did a fantastic job of taking care of them and also following instructions and recommendations for our specific exercise regimen and was great about sending photos, videos, updates and was super responsive in providing additional information when I asked for additional or other details. I returned home to happy, content pups and the house was excellent shape! I already booked her, again. Thank you, Helen!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Verdi
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verdi. 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 Verdi 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 Verdi 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 Verdi 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
