“Angie was fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my 2 dogs. She walked them every day, some days multiple times and just took great care of them. The photos were forthcoming after each visit and my dogs just loved her visits. I saw them on my Ring cams running after Angie and jumping up to meet her when she arrived. I will use Angie forever!”
“Rachel as always did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures to update me. I would highly recommend her and Dylan to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Wendy did a fabulous job taking care of our two pups while we were gone. She was able to accommodate us last minute. We loved the updates she provided and photos. We will book her again in the future. Thank you Wendy!”
“Susan is amazing. She took amazing care of our dog while we were out of the country and allowed us to enjoy our travels without worrying about our beloved companion. Her communication was superb and her care and kindness are unmatched. We plan to use Susan for all of our future travel. I did not worry one bit and honestly that is priceless, photos and reports daily kept myself and my family at ease and even gave us a few laughs with our adorable pup showing off. Thank you Susan, your service to pet owners is a true gift. -❤️ The Haltom Family”
“Kinan regularly checks in with my pup and is always consistent and reliable. Definitely safe to say my dog has a new friend, very relieving to be able to trust Kinan with my guy!”
“She took care of feeding our guinea pigs while we were traveling. She was very kind and sent us photos every day, and we really appreciated it. If we’re ever away again, we would love to ask for her help. Thank you so much, Danika! 😄✨”
About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.
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 had a wonderful experience with Carson! Our dogs were well cared for, and we loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Thank you Tessa. You did a great job walking Luna 4 times yesterday. I love that you text me and sent pics every time. I was so impressed and confident with your professionalism and we look forward to our next booking with you. Very Highly Recommended.”
About: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs throughout my entire life, as well as helping out friends and family with pet-sitting and other things such as dog-walking since I was an early teenager. I’ve had experience giving pets medicine and have no issue at all cleaning up after them. I’m currently working part-time, 5 days a week, with most of my day being open besides the late afternoon. My shifts change pretty often but I’d love to work out a timeframe that would work with you! I’m more than comfortable house-sitting, and as long as your pet has no issues with other pets (Currently living with two golden retrievers) they’re more than welcome here. I always am available for just dog-walking and dropping in whenever needed!
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. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. 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.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I always make sure they get attention, love, and proper care. I’m available Friday evenings after 6 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. During those times, I can give your pets my full attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
“This was our second time using Olivia to take care of our cat while we were out of town. She did a great job! Olivia is a great communicator and takes excellent care of our cat. I’d definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a good pet sitter, and I look forward to booking her again for future sits.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. Starting with walking my neighbors dog. Once I was able to drive I would do overnights with the families dog, that I babysat for. Small dogs, big dogs and even cats. Your little fur baby will be in great hands! I’m currently working full time. I can walk/ drop in Monday -Friday mornings at 7am and I’m available after work at 5:30pm for evening for walks/drop ins. The weekends are more flexible with time for walks and drop ins. I will be needing to pet sit at the location since I cannot have pets in my current house. I have only done pet sitting at the clients houses for the last 16 years. It makes for a better stay, the animals are not overwhelmed and happy to be in their own home.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all kinds for as long as I can remember—from playful puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with all temperaments and love giving each dog the care they need. As a stay-at-home mom, your pup will get plenty of attention and never be alone. Plus, we have a big backyard perfect for running, playing, and soaking up the sun! I am at home throughout the day so i'll have plenty of time to play with your pup and give them all the attention they need. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m coming to yours, I care for them like they’re my own. At my home, your pet will enjoy a calm, loving environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a large yard to explore. I stick closely to their routine—feeding times, walks, and any special instructions you share. If I’m caring for them in your home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean and consistent so they can relax while you’re away.
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.
“Cleo was such a big help for me on a vacation trip that went all sorts of wonky. She was able to step in last minute when our family friend dropped out of house/cat sitting for us while we were away. Then our travels got wrapped up in the mass Southwest Airlines cancellations and Cleo was able to work with us on that as well! (we ended up leaving 2 days later than expected and coming back a day later than anticipated). Cleo is quick to respond to messages and the pictures and updates she sent of our cats kept me at ease that they were being cared for. Also the pictures in general were just super funny sometimes and I really loved that. Cleo was my first experience using Rover and I was super nervous at first to be giving a stranger access to my home but she is professional, great to work with, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Virginia City on Rover is $37.74 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,100 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Virginia City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Virginia City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virginia City. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
