“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!!”
“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! 🐾”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have been the proud owner of five wonderful dogs throughout my life, all of whom lived long, happy lives into old age. I am comfortable administering oral medications and following any special care instructions, including dietary needs, exercise routines, and senior pet care. I always listen carefully to each owner’s preferences to ensure their pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy walking and staying active, so your dog will receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while in my care. I am currently retired, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. Because I enjoy staying active, I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they receive the exercise, companionship, and attention they deserve. I can also accommodate early morning, daytime, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they are away. Primary language: Spanish. I understand and speak basic English and can communicate using the Rover app or messages.
“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.”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
“Michael does an exceptional job attending to the daily needs of my dogs, but just as important to them are the number of walks and fetch time they get. As always, they are happy to see me arrive home, but lay around waiting for Michael to arrive even after I've been home a few days. That is the sign of a good sitter. My house is always left in equal or better condition than when I left which is so much appreciated. Thanks again, Michael, for another over and above experience!”
About: Pets have always been a integral part of my life. Maybe not all my own but those close to me as well. I have taken care of many senior animals and also some with special needs. I have volunteered at Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah-the largest in the US. I work on call and set my own schedule, which provides alot of flexibility. Most of my work is at night and Saturdays. Prepared to drop in twice a day if needed. I'm always attuned to potential dangers in the house/yard and keep tabs on their whereabouts. I offer plenty of stimulation, attention, and walks.
“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
About: I've loved dogs for my entire life and was fortunate enough to get one of my one when I was 13. I love taking care of my dog and spending time with her. I enjoy spending time with other peoples dogs just as much. I am currently in college at UNR and would love to make some extra money doing somethingi enjoy. I am currently working three days a week (mon - wed) and am fully available all other days of the week. I don't currently live with a puppy of my own so I would love to spend more of my time around dogs. I spent over five years being one of the main care takers of my first dog. As a yellow lab she is very energetic and loves walks and playing fetch but also likes to sleep and lounge around. So I have experience with different personalities and energy levels.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!
“Hannah was super sweet, and did a great job taking care of Sierra and the house. She asked lots of good questions during the meet and greet, and came by again to do a little practice walk so she’d feel equipped to work with Sierra’s reactivity issues. She was really good about staying in touch and communicating, and asked questions if she had them. She was great and will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
About: We’re lifelong animal lovers with over 25 years of combined pet care experience. Between pet sitting, house sitting, volunteering with Res-Que animal rescue, caring for medical cases, training puppies, and raising our own two dogs, we’ll treat your pets like they’re part of our family. We both work for the Washoe County School District in a self-contained special education classroom. During the school year, we work Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are available before and after work for pet care. We’re off every weekend, all major school breaks, holidays, and throughout the summer, allowing us to offer flexible scheduling and dedicate plenty of quality time, attention, exercise, and love to every pet in our care. Every pet is unique, so we tailor our care to their individual routine and needs. Whether in our home or yours, we’ll follow your feeding schedule, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. We strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel safe and comfortable. We also provide regular photo updates and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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!!!”
“Josh was amazing with my Gypsy. I have always left her with a family member but Josh is now my official pet setter. He is caring and treated my dog as his own. He stayed at my home and took care of it like it was his own. I would highly recommend him as a pet setter. He is five stars all the way.”
About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.
About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

Ashley was wonderful. We very suddenly needed a new sitter for a week, and she graciously agreed to watch our pups. She was very communicative, friendly, and asked thoughtful questions about our home and dogs while she was here. We came home to two very happy pups and a clean house. Highly recommend her, we'd love to work with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Verdi on Rover is $55.5 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 792 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Verdi. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
