About: I've had a dog in my house one way or another since high school. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and energetic. I can feed, water, walk, bathe and play with your best furry friend. Whatever your pet needs are, they will be met. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home everyday, all day minus an errand or two every week. I have more than enough time to give your pet the care and love that is needed while your away. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard, with two very loving, energetic dogs to play with. I can either let the dogs all play or keep them separate for whatever time is needed. I am rarely gone so supervision is always guaranteed.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals! I started training service dogs as a teenager and have also worked with foster pups, helping them learn, build confidence, and adjust to new environments. I’m very familiar with animal body language and behavior, which helps me recognize their needs, understand when they’re uncomfortable, and make them feel safe and secure. I have animals of my own, along with plenty of other critters, so caring for animals of all personalities and temperaments is second nature to me. I truly enjoy building trust with each animal and treating them like family! Im a stay at home mama to a 1.5 year old so my days revolve around my animals and kiddo! I ducks, chickens, ,bunnies, and my dogs come first! We love to stay active. We go on lots of walks. We do sniff work in the backyard, play fetch, or hang in the kiddie pool in the summer days. My goal is always to tire out the dog and have them sleep hard bc a tired dog is a happy dog 🤍 I have a fenced yard on almost half an acre, my livestock is in the back in a separate pen so they can’t be chased. And I also have a gate inside my home so I can separate my dogs from the new ones if needed. And away from crazy toddler as well. I always keep an eye on the dogs even when outside to ensure safety. My dogs are like my kids so I understand the stress of leaving them! So I always make sure to send lots of pics and videos of your dog living their best lives so you feel a little better
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my ability to provide both loving care and dependable structure. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need training and consistency, to senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and special attention to their comfort. I’m attentive to routines, detail-oriented when it comes to feeding and medications, and I pride myself on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel secure and cared for. My schedule is fluctuating for work, but we can always work around that and make your needs work! I look forward to hearing from you, and caring for your pets :) When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I give plenty of love and attention so the dog feels comfortable and secure, while also respecting the home by keeping things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Washoe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Washoe. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Washoe after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washoe. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
