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.

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

Rachel was more than great! I definitely will be booking with her again 😊 I felt 100% comfortable leaving our 3 dogs at home w her coming by to check in & let out, as well as made sure they ate// meds were given - even when one wanted to be lazy couch potato instead of going potty outside for the morning. 10/10 recommend! 🩵🩵🩵

About: I’ve been a dog owner all my life. My mud room and side yard is used solely for the care and comfort of my dogs. Including dog bath, doggy door, beds, etc. We also have over an acre of property that is available for supervised play time. I consider myself a dog person and generally keep the dogs as my constant daytime companions. My dogs love to lay in their fluffy beds by the pellet stove and be with us when we are home. It would be my pleasure to include your dog in our family and dog centered daily activities. I am happy to work on basic training with your dog. Sit, stay, lay down, fetch, home manners, etc. I do not believe in any kind of “spanking” or hitting of any animals. Consistency and positive reinforcement is my philosophy. Please feel free to reach out with any special requests for the care of your dog. I promise nothing is too large a request. I especially don’t mind puppy training.

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, where I learned safe handling, medication administration, basic first aid, and how to keep pets calm in new or stressful situations. That background helps me confidently care for puppies, seniors, pets with medical needs, and shy or nervous animals. Outside of clinical work, I’ve grown up caring for family pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive — whether your pet needs enrichment and long walks, or quiet cuddles and routine comfort. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to match your pet’s routine — whether that means early walks, midday visits, or cozy evenings at home. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow their established routines — feeding schedules, walks, training cues, boundaries, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured, and I always keep a close eye during outdoor time or new environments. At my home, pets have a calm, clean space where they can relax, play, or cuddle depending on their energy and personality. I’m attentive during introductions, supervise closely, and provide plenty of enrichment, exercise, and affection. Whether your pet needs structure and long walks or quiet time and a soft place to nap, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in dog daycare and boarding facilities, along with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs — both big and small. What sets me apart is my understanding of dog behavior and emotional needs, especially with reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs. I’m familiar with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, fear-based behaviors, and confidence building. I understand that reactive dogs are not automatically aggressive — they simply need patience, understanding, and proper handling. This is something I connect with personally through my own dog’s journey of overcoming fear and anxiety. Through both professional and personal experience, I’ve developed strong knowledge of dog body language and handling skills. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including large breeds, and I can adapt to different feeding schedules, crate-training routines, and individual care needs. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom with lots of free time. I understand that life gets crazy suddenly & I am available for same day bookings ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, personality, and needs so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, especially with nervous or reactive pets, and I always prioritize positive interactions and proper handling techniques. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, crate-training preferences, exercise needs, and household rules to help maintain consistency for your pet. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away, knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

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’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: Hi, I’m Kayana! - Certified belly rub specialist 😊 I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember. As an animal lover, I treat every pet like part of my own family. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting getting to know each of your little loved ones. I bring hands-on experience, caring for dogs and other pets with a wide range of needs. I’m extremely comfortable following all detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and handling medications when needed. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and dependable care every time. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. Hope to meet you and your pets soon! 🤍 I currently work a full time 8-5 Tuesday-Saturday, however, I do still have flexibility in my work routine. Outside of work, my schedule is very much open to meeting the needs of your fur babies! I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone new. Rest assured, safety, and trust come first in everything I do. I create a calm, safe space where pets can relax. I follow routines carefully, stay alert during walks and visits, and provide a secure and loving environment. I respect your home, communicate, clearly, and make sure you always feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

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 always had dogs in my home, I have 4 right now and my dog daisy is my best friend! I have experience with puppies and older dogs and I love meeting new dogs and caring for them. I am a freshman at the University of Nevada, Reno and I don’t have a job because I want to have time to focus on school so dog sitting is perfect! I prefer to stay at the dogs home so they feel comfortable, less stressed, and not overwhelmed when their parents leave town. Being in their natural environment always makes them happier!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Virginia City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Virginia City on Rover is $37.74 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,109 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:

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
