About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I always make sure they get attention, love, and proper care. I’m available Friday evenings after 6 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. During those times, I can give your pets my full attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I have always owned a pet of some sort, from dogs and cats to turtles and snails. I’m not afraid of any animal and I will treat them with the love and the care that you would want someone to treat a child. I do believe pets need authoritative speech but they will always be taught with respect. I am dedicating the first half of my day to volunteer work in our area and the second half is to take care of your pets. When I am with your pet I will be present, playing with them if they are younger and need to exercise their body or lightly encouraging movement if they are older. Essentially, when they are in my care they will have all of their needs met. I thank you for trusting me in the confines of your home. My one and only focus will be to take care of your pets. If possible I would like to spending time with them outside as it is important for them to experience their play in the sun.

About: Worked closely with dogs and cats in a general practice veterinary clinic, developing a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and overall welfare. Gained experience recognizing signs of good health as well as changes in behavior or condition that may indicate illness or stress. Prioritized providing calm, compassionate care while ensuring each animal's safety and comfort, building confidence in handling pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I work full-time from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On those days, I'm available for check-ins or potty breaks before 7am or after 5:30pm, resulting in 8+ hours. On Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I have a much more flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, or playtime every couple of hours as needed. I'm committed to making sure each pet receives reliable care, attention, and plenty of love while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take extra care to prevent escapes by being mindful around doors, gates, and leashes, and I always pay close attention to each pet's body language to help them feel comfortable and reduce fear or stress. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I'm happy to work at their pace to build trust. For everyone's safety, I do not offer boarding in my home or bring my own pets to client homes, as I have a reactive dog and cats of my own. This allows me to give your pet my full attention in the environment where they are most comfortable.

About: Hey there! My name is Eva and I have a passion for dogs. Ever since I can remembers, I had many furry friend family members. I grew up taking care of them since I was 10 years old. I love being the person to give dogs their well-deserved walk or run and dose of fresh air. I am very versatile and if your furry friend (s) loves getting exercise, I will take them on energizing walks. Or, if your dog prefers a more low-key walk, I will match their pace. Your dogs safety and happiness are my main concerns while I am caring for them. I also offer overnight care. I look forward to spending quality time with your dog (s) while you take care of your business!

About: Ive grown up with pets. I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, etc. Ive cared for my pets and ive taken care of my friends', family's, and even co-worker's pets. I enjoy doing it and love to make the owners feel comfortable leaving them with someone they trust. As a dog owner currently, I feel better when I entrust my dog (my son) to someone they can feel happy with rather than being alone all day long. I have afternoons off as well as the full weekends. I'm available weekends for boarding. I am free for afternoon walks and playtime. Early morning food? I can do that. Does your pup need a ride anywhere, i can do that as well. I am very respectful of other's homes and feel that it is good to clean up toys after pups playtime and ensure the area of eating is kept clean. Being very attentive of dogs expressions and signals to go outside to ensure no accidents happen. If they are puppies, being on schedule or helping start a schedule to get them potty trained. Any rough play from larger dogs are best to be done outside to avoid accidents. This way the doggy is safe but also can freely have fun. I have experience with small and large dogs.

About: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs throughout my entire life, as well as helping out friends and family with pet-sitting and other things such as dog-walking since I was an early teenager. I’ve had experience giving pets medicine and have no issue at all cleaning up after them. I’m currently working part-time, 5 days a week, with most of my day being open besides the late afternoon. My shifts change pretty often but I’d love to work out a timeframe that would work with you! I’m more than comfortable house-sitting, and as long as your pet has no issues with other pets (Currently living with two golden retrievers) they’re more than welcome here. I always am available for just dog-walking and dropping in whenever needed!

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Cassandra, I have always had pets at home. From cats and dogs, to lizards and fish. I love being around animals and seeing them experience joy and contentment. My pets are like my practice children and I put so much care into their well being. I hope to be able to do the same for your pets as well. I don't have a fulltime job so I am extremely flexible with your schedule. I can do pretty much anything, walks for the dogs (or any other type of pet) playing with the cats, feeding, overnight, and if you need something else please reach out! I would love to be able to help you with whatever your pets might need. If you have any questions at all please feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you and I look foreword to meeting you fur babies! I currently am not working so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to spend with your beauties! So I am open to all types of schedules. I can feed, play, clean up, and walk with all your pets. Drop ins or night stays I am open for either. I cannot do very long walks due to a medical issue but I can play fetch all day and long a good jaunt around the neighborhood.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Washoe Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washoe Valley is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 1,204 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washoe Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washoe Valley. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
