Dog Sitting Carson City

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m taking a break from the vet hospital and am available almost any day. My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you. Your fluffy friend is safe with me. If you are boarding I have a large house with a big backyard and plenty of toys. I’m always willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

About: My best friends in life have been my beloved pets. I've had the privilege of being alongside several amazing dogs their entire lives. I am also a master of kitty cats! Our home has been the domain of several royal creatures throughout the years. I can help provide for your pets and offer them the attention and reliability they need when you're away. Conveniently centered in Carson City, I am available during very flexible hours and I have reliable transportation. Let's meet to see how I can help you and your animals. I am a semi retired artist, so my schedule is quite open. All of my senior animals have crossed the rainbow bridge now and I have love to give! I give animals a feeling of safety and comfort with my warm and protective presence. I am diligent in providing the correct care for a pet with their nutrition and exercise. I will follow your instructions precisely while offering an enjoyable and enriching experience!

About: What sets me apart is reliability, patience, and a calm approach with every dog I care for. Being retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets consistent attention instead of rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine and taking the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m especially good with dogs that benefit from a steady, relaxed presence, including senior dogs or those that may be a little anxious. I also make communication a priority. Pet owners receive regular updates so they always know their dog is safe and well cared for. I limit the number of pets I take so each one gets the attention they deserve. My goal is simple—dependable care you can trust and a positive experience for your dog every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks, visits, and check-ins are something I look forward to each day. Being retired allows me to stay flexible and dependable for pet owners who need regular or last-minute help. I focus on keeping each pet comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality. In a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their own environment. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your home.

About: I have been around all kinds of animals since I was very little, I have taken care of everything from kitty's to horses. And I have such a special connection with all of them! I currently haven't found a job and have all the free as my partner takes care of our son full time at home until we find child care and we get part time jobs. I currently cannot watch animals all the time in my house, as we just fixed up the inside and currently have to still fix the fence however my kids go to daycare all day so I am free all day and I'm able to care for your furry little babies

About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors, doctors, hospital CEOs, friends and family ever since I was 10. All types of dogs and requests and breeds. I’m at home unless I’m running to the grocery store or doing an extracurricular activity. I can be here for your fur babies when you have to be away. 😻 I have a 6ft fenced yard. I have the ability to separate my yard into 6 different areas at nearly half an acre. I have multiple kennels and some with tops and grooming and bathing equipment. In home day care is heavily screened. Your dog will not have access to the inside of my home, kids, or my pets. Large outdoor area and garage kennels will be fully accessible. Kennels are cleaned with vet rescue which kills parvo. Fresh water in kennels and outside. All are properly sanitized. Health and safety is top priority for everyone. Puppies not fully vaccinated will be in a separate area. Walks, my children will be attending if dogs are child friendly.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I understand how much your furry friends mean to you. I’m a proud pet parent to my 8-year old Chihuahua mix, Sam, and my 14-year old tabby cat, Mia, so I know firsthand the importance of ensuring pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and elder dogs/cats. I have experience administering medication for dogs with special needs. I know older babies need a little more patience and a gentler touch. Whether your pet needs companionship, daily walks, or special care, I’m here to treat them like family. With my extensive experience and deep passion for animals, you can trust that your beloved pets are in caring and capable hands. Let’s make their time away from you as enjoyable as possible! I work full time but am available to care for your furry friends after 4:30 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Whether it's a quick check in, a walk, or some quality playtime, I'd love to keep your pets happy and cared for while you're away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take an attentive approach while respecting their space and preferences. I stick closely to their established routines, ensuring their pets feel secure and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, walks, or cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being and happiness, just as I do with my own pets. I know every animal is different, so I take time to get to know them and their preferences.

“Very helpful with my two giant dogs.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by and dog-sat family members' pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will treat and love your dog like my own. I understand the anxiety of leaving your fur baby behind when you have to go, and I know what it takes to find someone worthy of caring for one of the most precious parts of your life. My own dog has behavioral challenges, so I understand what it's like to care for dogs with different temperaments. Whether your pup is reactive toward other dogs, pulls on the leash, gets nervous around strangers, or just has their own quirks, I won't be fazed - I'll meet them where they are and work patiently at their pace! My schedule is very flexible right now since I just finished my PhD research and I’m currently figuring out my next steps. Morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins are no problem at all, and weekends are just as open. I can also accommodate same-day and short-notice requests. I will be respectful of your home and leave it just the way I found it. And I'll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands!

“Denise was great again! Each time I book her she takes great care of my animals, sends updates and pictures, and always communicates. I will be sure to book her again next time I'm out of town!”

About: I have lived in Tahoe for 25 years and always had my own dog and watched over my friend's dogs throughout the years. My best friend (Maggie - Retriever) passed away 18 months ago and I watch many of my friend's dogs frequently, including an elderly short hair retriever that is battling pancreatic cancer. I work from home and board my friend's dogs as well as check in and walk dogs when owners need help. I do have a number of recent references. I have worked from home for 25 years. I am very active and walk frequently. I am an early morning riser and monitor how often dogs need a walk or outside break. Pets are a part of my daily routine. My home: I have beds set up and recognize different doggy routines, ie need to go on the porch for sun, or need to go out for a break and walk. I have a section on my porch and in the laundry area for their food and water and a special area where I organize all the food, medication, leaches, doggy bags. I have a place by my couches with a large basket with balls, toys and stuffed doggy animals. I watch a number of my friend's dogs, and each has a unique and special routine and they have all come to trust me a look forward to visiting. I stay a bit at some of my friend's houses if they want me to help with house watch, plants, delivery receipt and other home needs while they are traveling and away on extended trips.

“Sophie was reliable, patient and loving with my shy kitty. Knowing Sophie was caring for my cat so well while we were away, put my mind at ease.”
