“Young and his wife are simply the BEST pup-sitters. ery organized, lots of communication, great environment with small/medium dogs. We also love the pictures that they send throughout Bandits stays, whether that is for day care or overnight.”
“Faith was awesome! She took a last minute request for me and did awesome with my pup! My boy came back happy and tired. Definitely will be using her services again. Thanks Faith!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She made sure to arrange for our dog Andrey to meet their dog before doing daycare/boarding in order to make sure the pooches would get along happily, and they sure did. Their dog Cap is a cutie! Jessica took great care of Andrey, giving him lots of attention and supervising his happy playtime with Cap. Her home is an excellent environment, and she took Andrey on nice long walk as well. He came home happy, healthy, and tired, just like we'd hoped. I highly recommend Jessica to entrust with your pooch.”
“Very sweet, really cared about our dogs! It was our first time leaving our babies with anyone and we couldn’t have found better people to watch them. Will definitely be back”
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
“Such a great experience with Melissa, she is so such a dog lover and extremely friendly. JoJo had a great day with her. We would love to bring JoJo back to her next time. Thank you again, Melissa !!”
“Fiji had fun playing with the other dogs being cared for by Gina. I would recommend Gina as she provides great care and attention. Took our dog to the dog park to play. Our doggo was tired after the day so you know he had fun playing with other dogs.”
About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.
“We took day care service with Jessica for our dogs. They had lovely time at her place!! Jessica was so accommodating and welcoming. Our fur babies enjoyed their stayed. She sent sooooo many pics our babies. Highly recommend her when you are in and around kings beach.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals but I adore having dogs company! I have two furry friends for them to play with as well! I currently work from home full-time I do leave for errands but it gives me plenty of time to love and play with your doggies! I have a large unfenced yard to play in, close to walking trails, and a neighbor with two friendly Aussies who love to play as well
“Sarah was wonderful! My husband and I were visiting the Lake Tahoe area for our anniversary and needed a doggy sitter for our miniature Australian Shepherd, Jack. Jack is a very shy dog with new people. Sarah was very understanding and patient with him and ended up winning his heart.”
“Chelsea takes such good care of our puppy! Rue and Goose are best friends and she always comes home worn out from playing all day! Rue is so excited to stay with Chelsea for the day. Chelsea has been very flexible with our schedule and we appreciate her so much!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 416 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Washoe Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Washoe Valley commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 416 sitters in Washoe Valley, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
