“Angie is fantastic! She took care of our home and our sweet boy, Rosco, just as she would her own. 10/10 recommend. She is very kind, helpful, prompt, and caring. I especially enjoyed getting updates and pics of Rosco :)”

“Krista was wonderful. I had a last minute pet sitter cancelation and Krista was able to step in. We are so grateful to her. She took great care of Lana and our home. Highly recommend!”

“Luka did a fantastic job watching our Australian Sheppard and two kitties while we were away. Our Aussie needs a lot of attention and activities or he gets restless. Luka kept him happy and our home was in perfect condition when we got home. Highly recommend!”

“Antoinette is responsible, attentive, and friendly! For my first booking with her, she watched my cat for five nights. She set up an in-person meeting beforehand and paid careful attention to his food and play preferences. She also sent photos updates with each meal, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even brought in a package for me without having to ask. I’d happily book her again!”

“Cat M. did an excellent job with my dog, Maggie. Cat walked Maggie twice a day and she even bathed her after Maggie had rolled in the dirt. My house was in the same condition as when I left it, which was greatly appreciated. Cat even spent her own time with me after I returned to teach me some tricks to use when taking Maggie for a walk, as Maggie is a puller and she is reactive to other dogs. Cat has been the best pet sitter through Rover that I’ve had in the past and I will definitely book with her again.”


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 pet 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 and check on your pup 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.
“Sam took excellent care of our dogs and home while also keeping an eye on our other small creatures. You can book with confidence with Sam. Super communication! She is very easy to meet and sent us updates and pics. We came home to happy dogs! Highly recommend!”

“Kinan goes above and beyond as both a sitter and dog walker. He takes exceptional care of my German Shepherd, Zara, and it’s clear how much he genuinely loves animals. As a house sitter, he’s the best I’ve ever had—he left my home spotless, was so respectful of our space, and spent so much quality time with my girl while I was away. I can’t recommend him enough—10/10!”

“Samantha is the best! One of our dogs got sick at the beginning of our trip and she kept in touch with us consistently throughout. She sent pics to reassure me that my dogs were being cared for and they looked like they were calm and comfortable at all times. She took my home care and pet care instructions seriously so the dogs weren’t stressed. She goes the extra mile and I really appreciate her for it.”
“Jocelyn is fantastic. She always goes above and beyond. For this stay she put our trash cans on the curb. We didn’t even ask her to, she just did it. But most importantly, our dog loves her. Jocelyn is super responsible and great with dogs”

“We couldn't be happier with our first experience using Randy as our pet sitter. We arranged a meet and greet before our trip — and our two Boxers (who have no shortage of energy) took to him immediately. He was at ease with them which gave us confidence that he wouldn't have any issues. Randy stayed at our home for 6 days and kept us in the loop with frequent updates throughout. Knowing our pups were in good hands made it much easier to enjoy our trip. When we came home, the house was exactly as we left it and doggies were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. If you have high-energy dogs and need someone who can keep up, Randy can do it. We've already scheduled another stay for our next vacation.”

“Allison was very flexible and accommodating as we were booking on relatively short notice and were new to the area. She was very communicative and took great care of our dog and cat the entire 2 weeks she was in our home. Would definitely recommend!”

“We were apprehensive to leave our pets in the care of someone new, but Tom absolutely went above and beyond to lovingly care for our animals and give us peace of mind while we were on our trip! He very much understands the value of keeping pets' in their daily routine and doing things just as their owners would. He did everything we asked him to, including daily walks, small animal cage cleanings, giving of medicine, sending daily updates/pics, and giving lots of love and attention! Having a trusted pet-sitter while you're away is crucial and we will DEFINITELY be using Tom again and recommend him to others.”

“This was the first time we have used Heather to stay in our home and care for our Jackson. It WON’T be the last. She was amazing from the beginning to the end. Excellent communication, with Jackson most of the day which is a huge, because he is an older dog! She did regular check ins with us and left our house just as clean as when she arrived. I know Jackson was loved and spoiled. So thankful we found Heather. ❤️”

About: I'm a dog lover who's been caring for dogs since I was 10.

Washoe City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha is everything we want in a dog sitter. She is kind, punctual, responsible, trustworthy, a good communicator and loves our little guy! We are so happy that we found her on Rover. She sends photos of Stanley and pays attention to his mood and habits. If there was a 10 star rating we would use that🐾😊

I’ve only had one experience with a local boarding facility, that was not a good experience. I was extremely nervous about leaving my baby (let’s be serious, they’re our children) with a stranger again. I chose Rover since house sitting was also an option, my thinking was it would be less traumatic for my dog being at home. Sophie came for a visit a week before my trip, she instantly put me at ease. 😊 My dog was sick the day before I left, we had a little vet visit and he was given some medication. Sophie had no problems with giving him his medication, giving me updates and sending me pictures throughout my trip. She is super sweet, took great care of my baby and my home. I would highly recommend Sophie to take care of your fur babies, and well as your home.

Anna took very good care of our two pups (& our house!) - she sent tons of photos which keeps my mind at ease while traveling, she kept the house clean & was here with them all the time - she completely spoiled them, even with special puppy bakery treats! We so appreciate coming home to happy, spoiled babies and a clean home!!!!!
