“Kinan goes above and beyond as both a sitter and dog walker. He takes exceptional care of my German Shepherd, Zara, and it’s clear how much he genuinely loves animals. As a house sitter, he’s the best I’ve ever had—he left my home spotless, was so respectful of our space, and spent so much quality time with my girl while I was away. I can’t recommend him enough—10/10!”
About: I've taken care of various dog breeds such as Shitzu, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, Poodle, Labrador, Jack Russell, Beagle, etc. I have experience taking care of puppies to senior dogs and cats. My family loves pet and I've grown up with dogs in the house. I am a full-time stay at home mom. I also have a high energy puppy dog who loves to play to keep your dog a company. She’s very friendly and loves to socialize with other dogs. I have a concrete and big fenced pet-friendly yard. My husband and I are both pet lovers and we’re partners in taking care of them. We have a dog of our own named Chase. We always treat pets as part of our family. 🥰🏡🐶
“Tom has taken care of my daschund, Ellie twice now. I will never use another house sitter/dog sitter. He’s great with my little nervous dog and I feel a huge sense of relief when I leave her with him. Tom is definitely a dog whisperer!”
“Ally was on time and communicative throughout the booking and pet sitting process. She went over and above to understand our pet’s needs. Moreover, she listened to our specific concerns and was very accommodating . Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have always grown up with pets, from dogs to rodents I’ve always had some fur little friend in my life. I adore being able to make a pets life more enjoyable and bright, whether that means going out and about or being a couch potato, I want to be there. I just recently got accepted to go back to school for fall 26’ to get my masters degree in Indiana! Due to my acceptance, I decided to take the summer off from my full-time job to have a fun and memorable summer! I’m quite free until August 11th (my last day in Reno), however, I do have occasional events planned like family flying in, concerts, and seasonal activities! With these events I may need to alter some times of bookings, however, I will make sure your pet comes first! I personally love having a directions list, something that I can follow to keep both your mind and my mind at peace knowing that what is written down will make sure that you pet will be safe and still have a good time. I would also love to be able to meet you and your pet before any bookings so that both you and your pet feel comfortable with who I am!
“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.”
“Allison was very flexible and accommodating as we were booking on relatively short notice and were new to the area. She was very communicative and took great care of our dog and cat the entire 2 weeks she was in our home. Would definitely recommend!”
About: With 9 years of pet care experience, I offer personalized attention that truly sets me apart. I specialize in gentle, patient care for puppies and provide compassionate, tailored support for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet’s unique needs means they receive more than just basic care—they get a loving and attentive companion while you’re away. This commitment makes me a trusted and reliable choice for pet owners seeking exceptional care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by dedicating specific times for feeding, walking, play, and rest. I prioritize consistency to ensure pets feel secure and loved every day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I balance their needs with my schedule to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the week. This routine flexibility allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and health requirements, making sure they always receive the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment whether caring for pets in my home or yours. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, keep spaces clean and secure, and maintain open communication with clients. In my home, pets have a calm, supervised area to relax and play, while at clients’ homes, I respect their space and ensure all instructions are followed precisely. This flexible approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved, no matter the setting or service provided.
“Megan was a pleasure to have taking care of our dogs and our house. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and happy. She also exceeded our expectations by keeping the house clean and even cleaned things we did not expect her to! We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking to have someone take care of their dogs/home.”
“This is the first time I have left my Pups with anyone except family. Rachel was wonderful! The dogs were happy and comfortable when I got home. I highly recommed using them! I know I will :)”
“We contacted Erika on very short notice looking for a sitter for our two dogs. She was quick to reply, helpful in navigating the process, and communicative throughout, We got daily photos of our dogs, and when one had an accident due to the separation anxiety she was proactive in telling us, cleaned it up, and followed up to make sure everything was resolved. We appreciated her availability, communication, and follow-up. Our dogs were happy to see us when we returned, but also happy to see her when she dropped off the key.”
“Allie communicated very well, was conscientious and reliable in caring for my dog, cat, and home. My dog is stranger fearful and leash reactive but warmed up to Allie quickly. Everyone seemed happy and well cared for upon my return.”
“Super sweet, and took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She instantly felt like family, and took care of my babies like her own. I will DEFINITELY be using her again when I come to this area visiting family.”
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.
About: I have taken care of cats for over 10 years. Never a sad fur baby while fur parents are gone. Thank you for your trust. I treat the pets as if they were my own pets. With respect, love, attention and last but not least provide them with company. Thank you. I care for the Pets in the clients home….for the comfort of the pet, as some get home sick when away from their home. Thank you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Virginia City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Virginia City on Rover is $99.9 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 760 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Virginia City. 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 Virginia City 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 Virginia City 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 Virginia City 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.
