“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!”

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 will try and work around my work schedule but if there is a change, I will notify you. 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: Hi, I’m Aly. I am a Reno local and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Ecology from UNR in 2020, so my passion is animals. I have been pet sitting on the side for about 5 years and have experience with small dogs, big dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses. I am able to provide any oral medication needed, feeding, walks, playtime, and whatever else your pet requires to be comfortable. No job is too big or too small! This is my full time/year-round job and my hope is that I can help people live the flexible lives they want/need with the comfort of knowing their home and pets are safe and being taken care of. Pet care is my full-time and year-round job. I am available 7 days a week and also on holidays. I accept same day bookings because I know life happens and I understand the additional stress of finding pet care last-minute. My hope is to alleviate that stress and provide reliable care for your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, I try to keep the pets schedule consistent with their normal routine. That includes feedings, medication, bathroom breaks, and sleep schedules. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so you can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos of your pet while you’re away.

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’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.

“Cindy is amazing! I left out of town for the weekend and wasn’t sure what I was gonna do with my doggy. It was my first time looking into a sitter so I was a bit nervous and worried that it wouldn’t work out. But Cindy did such an awesome job, followed my wonky instructions and went above and beyond for me and my dog. 100% recommend Cindy for your furry pets!! :))”

About: I have been working with animals my entire adult life, for the last 5 years. I have experience working in veterinary offices, as well as caring for senior and disabled pets in a home setting. I am available any day of the week at most hours. I am happy to go for a long walk or throw the ball for a high energy pet, or do a midday check-in for an elderly or disabled pet who just needs some extra attention. I find working with animals very fulfilling, and I would love to care for your pet! I am an online college student, so my schedule is very open for daytime dog walking and other drop in visits. I am available weekdays on short notice, and weekends with a few days notice. I am confident in reading animal body language and taking cues from pets so that they feel safe. I am happy to do repeated visits as long as I have met the owner once and have been able to communicate about your expectations and needs.

About: I worked at a pet hotel and doggie daycare for a year. We would create play groups for certain compatible dogs, feed, administer medications, and clean up after them. I also have two family dogs for the last 10 years. I currently work Thursday-Saturday and have four days off. Also I will not be working at my current job for the full month of February so I will have full availability! I currently am renting a room in a house so I would be unable to have pets over. I would be able to stay the night at the client’s home only. I can bring pets for long walks/hikes or just relaxing and playing whatever need be. I would also like a video of the condition of the house I’d be staying at in advance.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and still love doing it. Dogs make my day better and I love spending quality time with them. I currently work a full time job as a amazon delivery driver, I normally have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday's off. I enjoy spending time with dogs on my free time. I have a fenced backyard with lots of room. I have 3 dogs both are super friendly and love playing. But if a dog ever comes over no matter the circumstances, dogs will never be left unattended and separated.

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs, pretty much my whole life, and have experience with all sorts of dogs. From golden retrievers to dobermans, pit bulls, chihuahuas, and German shepherds, I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and dogs and am able to handle and care for all of them in the ways they need. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed a Fear Free Certification. I have trained all of the dogs I have taken care of and am very dedicated to making sure that they are well taken care of. When they are your best friend, they deserve the best. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of love and care, and will be played with, and walked around to give them the socialization and exercise they need and want. I currently work full time, but have weekends off, and can sometimes do evenings, and love to spend my free time with pets. I fit pet care into my weekly routine by caring for a german shepherd weekly. I provide care for the pets by taking them on walks, and following any other normal care that the pet would typically require. I have 2 five year old german shepherds, as well as a 13 year old cat, so I am well equipped in dealing with multiple pets as well.

About: Hi, I’m Annette! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter based in Incline Village with a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded approach to care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well-attended to, whether through neighborhood walks, quality time at home, or overnight companionship. I focus on providing a peaceful and structured environment for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am a great fit for dogs who enjoy a relaxed pace and steady routine, though I may not be the best match for those requiring highly intensive outdoor exercise or off-leash adventure outings. Being based in Incline Village with a flexible consulting schedule means I can get to most local neighborhoods quickly for drop-ins or walks This allows me to be highly responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a last-minute drop-in or staying at your home to keep your pet company during the day. Since I set my own hours, your pet’s routine becomes my priority. I believe pets are family members who deserve the same respect and care as any other resident. In a client’s home, my priority is maintaining the 'status quo' to minimize stress. I start by learning your pet’s specific cues, favorite hiding spots, and unique quirks. Whether it’s following a precise feeding ritual or ensuring the exact level of evening companionship they are used to, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost integrity. I am naturally observant and communicative, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos that capture your pet’s true comfort level.

“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!”

About: I have had dogs in my house since before I was born and have never gone a day with out dogs living at home. I love to take my own two dogs on walks and would love to help out others that don’t have the time or ability to take their own out on walks all the time. I currently have my two dogs, two cats and a little zoo made up of different types of pets. I typically work early mornings and I am off by noon most days so a quick afternoon walk is ideal for me. My services are available almost everyday from noon to five in the afternoon. Since I have so many of my own pets I prefer to pet sit at the clients house. I mainly offer dog walking but for any quick day trip over overnighter I am able to stop by to care for your pet and meet their needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Virginia City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Virginia City is $38 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,101 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Virginia City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
