House Sitting in Washoe

“Blake spent 3 nights with my dog Sam and everything went smooth. She communicates well and recommended a meet and greet prior to the sitting dates. When I got back home Sam, who has separation anxiety, was calm and happy to see me. I will definitely request dates with Blake when needed in the future.”

“Alex is terrific -- and having him housesit with our cat TK is a joy. Alex gives the cat love and TK reciprocates -- that's clear from the photos Alex sends showing the cat snuggled up next to him (or sitting on Alex's computer, demanding attention). Alex also played sitting-tag with a friend, who came for several days, and coordinated with her so that care for the cat and watering of our garden went seamlessly. Finally, TK had a few puking incidents. While TK did not apologize to Alex, I did. Alex's response? "No worries! Animals doing animal things." He's a great sitter with a sense of humor.”

“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”

“Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!”

“Hannah was so great with our cats for the weekend! Our cat got surgery two weeks previous and needed eye drops multiple times a day. We were able to book Hannah on a very short notice and she made time to come to our house and meet the cats. She did a wonderful job watching our cats and administering the eyedrops. We will definitely be using her more in the future!”

Leah H.

“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”

“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”

“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”

Dayna R.

“Rebecca is great! She stayed with my two little dogs for three days while we went out of town. After our initial meet and greet, I was very comfortable leaving my pups with her. As a groomer, she's used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. She kept us updated everyday how they were doing and took very good care of them and the house. We would definitely recommend Rebecca and will have her watch them again in the future.”

“Darla did a great job with Rudy, Evie, Boo Boo and PepperJack! I was out of country for a week and nervous to be so far away and doing Rover.com for the first time. Darla has excellent attention to detail is cares about every nuance of taking are of my furry family. Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job! Leah”

“Courtney was great, I knew I had the right person to take care of my 5 month old puppy, and home. She was punctual, professional and caring. She updated me frequently, and I was confident all was well while out of town. I will definitely hire Courtney the next time I need a sitter!”

“Pam was great with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She kept us up to date with messages throughout her stay, I would recommend Pam to anyone 💐😊🐶🐶🐱🐱”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I recently trained my own dog myself, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive attention are. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Sonoma State University and only have classes in the mornings, so I’m free most afternoons and evenings to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home while their owner is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any routines their pet is used to. I take the time to make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible so both the pet and owner feel comfortable.

“Cora is fantastic. Have booked her twice and the second time threw in a new kitten we had just adopted as an added challenge, and on top of that our older cat got a bit ill sneaking too much kitten food. Cora was so good with both of them the week we were gone and is very communicative and caring. Very thankful we found her.”

“We had a last minute cancellation on our house/pet sitting and Tiffany was a God send. We have never booked with Rover before and she popped up as a recommendation. She responded right away, came over right away to meet our fur babies. She communicated well throughout the entire process and provided timely information. In the videos our dogs and cat looked like they were having fun, wagging tails. It was a bit chaotic in the decision to use Rover and someone we didn't know and us trying to get out of town. But Tiffany's calm and just reassuring presence was something we truly appreciated.”

“Susan was AWESOME!! We went to Cancun for a week and she staid at our home with our Pom, Lucky and senior kitty, Hunter. She sent us pictures, videos and updates the entire time, which made us feel so good to see our fur babies so happy, especially because our kitty is very shy and she cozied right next to her. Susan took some of the Best pictures of our animals! We told her she needs to start doing it professionally, they were that good!! Also, Susan left our house immaculate!! She was always on time to our meetings and her communication is spot on. The Sweet Family will definitely book Susan again. She is not only wonderful with the animals and the house, but she is a wonderful person!! Thank you Susan!!!”

About: I have lived with pets my entire life. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes, from a puppy boston terrier to a senior german shepherd. I have experience walking large dogs and dogs that do not get along with other animals. I love getting to meet and work with animals and getting to know all their unique personalities! I am currently in school and working. On the weekends I am more than happy to spend the entire time with your pet, and during weekdays I am happy to stay overnight after I get off of work. I will spend quality time with your animal (if that is what they want) and will ensure they have enough food and water, especially if I am helping out on a weekday. I am very attentive to the specific needs of each pet and household and am willing to work with you to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.

“She is amazing:)”

“Kyline was fantastic for our house and kitty. Super upfront about work schedule. She sent us numerous photos and updates with and without prompting. Left the house clean, and took care of everything we asked. Highly recommend.”

“Kat is very professional and responsive - which is very important to me! She also has a great questionnaire that answers a lot of questions that are easy to forget before hand. Kat will be my first choice when booking in the future!”
