“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! He has quickly become such an important part of Zara’s routine. The second she realizes he’s at the door to pick her up, she completely loses her mind with excitement—it’s the sweetest thing to watch. She absolutely adores him, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. He is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. Knowing Zara is happy, loved, and so excited to spend time with him gives me complete peace of mind. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your dog, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found him!”

About: I have always grown up with pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish…even a reptile or two!) I adopted my pup, Hurley, nearly 15 years ago and it has been one of my joys to have her in my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, helping you practice any training you might be working on with your pooch, dispensing medications and other care needs, as well as keeping your furry friend safe if they have any anxieties or other difficult behaviors. While I am not a trainer, I have kept up regular formal, positive reinforcement training with my dog and we’ve also taken lots of fun classes like agility and nose training—meaning I know lots of fun games to keep your pup engaged during my visit. I also have experience caring for ducks and chickens, small reptiles and birds. I am a freelance consultant so my days tend to be pretty flexible. I am generally available throughout the day to care for your pooch. I am an attentive care-giver. I will follow all instructions, ensure your dog is safe in its environment—whether we are walking or playing. I have experience with dogs with medical or other special needs and will always ask about your preferences for care.

About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾‍♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets for almost the entirety of my life--dogs, cats, rabbits, birds--you name it and I have had them as friends. I've also taken care of large houses, farms, and gardens over the last decade. Most recently I became a cat foster mom helping socialize cats and kittens while giving them a loving transitional space before they find their furever homes. As much as I love pets I don't currently have one so I have plenty of availability for yours! The dog on my profile is my mom’s, I sometimes help her find care for him. I'm a writer so I work from home, freeing me up for all kinds of fur family adventures and care taking opportunities. Since I'm home you can be sure that your fur baby will be well watched and loved upon. I'm available seven days a week. As a responisble, professional house sitter, I have house sat homes and farms all over the world and I treat each space with the utmost care. I ensure that each home is returned in the same condition it was given to me in, fresh sheets and all. I treat every pet like they're a member of my family because they're a member of yours. I learn the personalities of each fur baby and accommodate them as necessary. I have experience with senior pets as well as special needs pets and those with quirky personalities--it just makes them all the more lovable to me!

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, including both cats and dogs. I’ve been using Rover for years, and I genuinely love getting the chance to meet and care for new furry friends! I’m very attentive to their routines and schedules, and I always make sure to set aside plenty of time in my own schedule to give them the attention, care, and companionship they need. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for pets. I’m available Wednesday through Saturday and can also care for pets before or after work on the other days. I enjoy having animals as part of my routine and am happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I provide care in the pet's own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they have everything they need while their owners are away.

About: Hi, I’m Kiara! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or making sure your pet gets fed and cared for on schedule, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own—lots of attention, cuddles, and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll make sure your pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. I’m currently unemployed and a new first time mommy just trying to make ends meet. I am available 24/7 and I am okay with last minute bookings! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they stay on their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean up after them, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. For dogs, that means plenty of walks, playtime, and belly rubs to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, that could be play with their favorite toys, brushing, or just quiet company for more independent kitties. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a shy cat who just needs gentle care. I’ll keep food and litter/walk areas tidy, follow your instructions closely, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Meaganne, I’m 25 years old and I have been housesitting on and off since I was 13. I grew up with animals, so they have always had a special place in my heart. I have experience with pretty much any pet imaginable: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, fish, reptiles, donkeys, you name it! I’m mature, professional, timely and clean. I am excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your beloved pet. I work Mon-Thursday but have availability to check on your furry one before and after, and at bedtime if needed. Friday-Sundays are free for more round the clock care. I am not offering boarding at this time, but am happy to come to your home for overnight stays or just periodic check-ins throughout the day!

About: Hi! I'm Megan, a dog lover in South Reno who treats every pup like my own. With a life-long passion for our best friends, I offer reliable dog walking and in-home sitting services tailored to your dog's needs and your schedule. Whether your best friend needs a brisk 30- or 60-minute walk to burn energy, midday potty breaks while you're at work, or cozy overnight stays in a calm home environment, I'm here to provide attentive, loving care. I specialize in: Daily dog walking (solo or small groups for compatible pups) Drop-in visits Overnight sitting/boarding in my pet-friendly home (dependent on dog's needs and size) Safety and happiness come first—I follow best practices for leashed walks, hydration, playtime, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles. I'm background-checked and always send photo updates so you never miss a moment. I normally cook for my friends dogs, so if you prefer specific home-cooked, dog-digestible meals, I am happy to provide that. I own a two-story home, with a secure fenced yard, a nearby park, and miles of paved walking trails. I'm available most days, including holidays, weekends and evenings. Flexible with last-minute requests when possible! I'd love to meet you and your dog—message me to set up a Meet & Greet. Let's make sure your pup stays happy, exercised, and spoiled while you're away! I currently work out of the house all day, 5-6 days a week, so I will be with your best friend all day in your home or mine while you're away for a business trip, vacation, or if you simply need someone to pop in or do daily walks. I have a large fenced yard adjacent to numerous walking trails. Depending on your pups needs, I can provide in-home house/dog sitting. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, which means they will be given lots of affection and attention. I am a daily walker, so your pup will have a daily adventure just steps from my backyard or yours.

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.

“Ruby is wonderful with my pup Onyx and a pleasure to work with. Her communication is clear, frequent and in a timely manner. She is also very on time and sends very cute photos of my pup! Onyx is a little on the sensitive side and I can tell by his demeanor when I come home that he feels secure and happy. She also has done a great job of reading Onyx and giving him what he wants, rather than forcing him to walk (I.e sit and watch the ducks). I also appreciate all the work Ruby has done to uphold my training with Onyx with his reactivity on leash!!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Washoe City on Rover is $31 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $45 per walk. walkers 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 1,191 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Washoe City. 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 your Washoe City. 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 City 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 City. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
