About: I have had dogs for almost my entire life, so I know how important it is to have high-quality pet care, and I will do my best to provide your furry family the care they deserve. I have extensive experience with senior dogs (I currently have one), as well as dogs with complex dietary/medical needs (provided thorough/elaborate written instruction). Regarding my experience with special needs dogs, one of my most recent dogs was born deaf, and I was able to successfully raise and train her from puppyhood so she was able to live a fulfilled life. I am also currently raising and training a puppy, so I am able to apply this experience as well. Although I am more comfortable working with dogs, I am also able to care for cats as well as "small animals" such as reptiles (for housesitting/drop-ins). I look forward to working with you and becoming friends with your pets! I currently work nights for a fully remote job, so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to checking on or spending time with pets. Because I live in downtown Winnemucca, I am in a convenient location for both checking in on your pets and sharing my home with your furry family. There are times I may need to work while housesitting, which can be discussed further at time of booking. Because I promise to treat your pets like my own, I value communication and transparency above all else. If you have instructions, I will follow them, but if I have questions about anything, I will not hesitate to contact you using your preferred method. I always want us to be on the same page so there are no surprises and no lingering worries. Regarding my home, I do have a fenced yard, but since the fence does need improvement, I also have at least one lead/tie-out for potential escape artists. Small dogs will always be monitored and/or kept on leash in the front yard for their safety. Interactions with my puppy will also be monitored, in case she is too intense and they need to be separated.
About: I have grown up owning dogs almost my entire life. I currently have 3 wonderful dogs, a Heeler mix, a Slovakian Wirehair pointer, and a pitbul/ border collie mix. I have always taken care of my parents 4 dogs when they go out of town. I have also done side jobs taking care of dogs, cats, and house sitting. I can't wait to meet your special pets! I am a stay at home mom so I have very open availability! I can do overnight checks and long term care. I can be available for almost any last minute needs! I have a fully fenced yard with my own 3 friendly dogs. They are all kennel trained and love to make new friends! My 3 kids LOVE to have extra fur friends to play with!
About: I personally own 1 dog and 5 cats and owned many more before and they all lived long happy lives. Dogs are puppies to me, regardless their age. I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter - my duties included walking, feeding, cleaning kennels and socializing stray or feral animals so they could be adopted out to loving homes I would preferably take clients during weekdays but depending on dates and frequency I’d be open to some weekends as well, contact me to discuss further details I am willing to send photo/video updates to the owner(s) about their pets every day - morning routines, feeding, walk and play times, dinner time etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winnemucca on Rover is $27.82 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Winnemucca walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Winnemucca maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Winnemucca choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
