“I greatly appreciated Susan’s diligent care of my elderly dog over the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s hard to leave a beloved pet over the holidays, but I could tell by Susan’s daily messages that I didn’t need to worry. She walked him twice daily which he loves. He even seemed to eat better for her than he does for me! I will definitely use her again.”


“Courtney is amazing with my two dogs, I’ve rebooked her over and over again and we always have a pleasant experience! Shes great with nervous and skittish dogs like mine!”


About: Hi there! My name is Gabi and I have about 10 years of pet care experience. I’ve worked with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors! I have spent time working at boarding facilities where I administered all kinds of medications and kept up with individual dogs’ feeding schedules. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs and being active, but also don’t mind if your pup is more of a couch potato that just wants some company. Whatever their needs, I’ll be there for them AND you! I’m a county employee so I do work full time, but on the days that you schedule me, I’ll be completely available to you! I also understand that sometimes life happens and I’m more than willing to be flexible when needed! Each dog is an individual and I like to take my time getting to know each dog I work with. I have previous experience working at a behavioral center for dogs, so if your dog is fearful or maybe even a little reactive here and there, that’s totally okay! I will always take the time to connect with your dog on their timeline

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 17, and over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve done it all. I’m also experienced in giving medication when needed, and I truly love providing comfort, care, and companionship to every furry friend I meet. I work three days a week, which leaves me with plenty of free time to dedicate to pet sitting. It fits perfectly into my routine, and I love having the flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I live in a quiet, pet-welcoming neighborhood with minimal traffic, making it great for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet loves lounging or being active, they’ll feel right at home here.

About: I have had my own pets starting at a very young age, trained, rescued, volunteered at pet foundations and charities, and helped my old vet before he retired in Las Vegas for many years. Animals are my passion! I am retired and available now with an open schedule for your needs. I live with my one Beloved Cat who is tolerant of my comings and goings. First and foremost, my way of doing things is to take care of your furry baby the same way you have been doing with the same routine that you already established. This cuts down on the stress level of you being absent. I want your pet to feel loved and safe!

About: Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. With experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and cats, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs whether that’s playtime, cuddles, long walks, or quiet companionship. I treat every animal like family, and I’ll always show up with kindness, attention, and love. I’m currently available seven days a week, Monday through Sunday, from 7 AM to 8 PM. As I’m in the process of starting my own business, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to provide dedicated, reliable care. I’m happy to work around your needs and accommodate your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own clean, careful, and trustworthy. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I’m attentive to your pet’s needs and committed to providing dependable, stress free care while you're away.

“This was our second time using Olivia to take care of our cat while we were out of town. She did a great job! Olivia is a great communicator and takes excellent care of our cat. I’d definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a good pet sitter, and I look forward to booking her again for future sits.”


About: I have had pets for all my life which made me very passionate about taking care of dogs. I am very reliable person that will go above and beyond when taking care of your animals. I am currently a full-time employee based in Nevada, working in Carson. I am available to come in during the evenings on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I always make sure my dog is well cared for, providing plenty of food and water. I ensure she stays comfortable and warm on cold nights. When meeting a dog I’m not familiar with, I take the time to let them know me before engaging in play.

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!

“Rachel was more than great! I definitely will be booking with her again 😊 I felt 100% comfortable leaving our 3 dogs at home w her coming by to check in & let out, as well as made sure they ate// meds were given - even when one wanted to be lazy couch potato instead of going potty outside for the morning. 10/10 recommend! 🩵🩵🩵”



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: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Sarah was great. After meeting with her and introducing her to the dogs, I knew she was going to be a good match for the dogs/job. This was the first time using this service, and am thankful I took a chance. I appreciated the ease of communication, picture updates during the visits, and knowing I could trust my babies would be looked after. I would use Sarah for any future pet sitting needs.”


“I had never used a pet sitting service before and was a little nervous not only to have a stranger watch my pets but have a stranger in my home. I must say that Clinton put me at ease he did a wonderful job and would certainly use him again in the future. He sent me pictures of my pets everyday which made me feel better. Thank you, Clinton!”


“Cleo was such a big help for me on a vacation trip that went all sorts of wonky. She was able to step in last minute when our family friend dropped out of house/cat sitting for us while we were away. Then our travels got wrapped up in the mass Southwest Airlines cancellations and Cleo was able to work with us on that as well! (we ended up leaving 2 days later than expected and coming back a day later than anticipated). Cleo is quick to respond to messages and the pictures and updates she sent of our cats kept me at ease that they were being cared for. Also the pictures in general were just super funny sometimes and I really loved that. Cleo was my first experience using Rover and I was super nervous at first to be giving a stranger access to my home but she is professional, great to work with, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”


About: Hi, I’m Bethany! I have lots of experience with pets between my past work at a boarding/grooming place as well as growing up with them around my whole life! I have had lots of time caring for and loving on pets! I am more than able to help give your pet a bath, and get them all groomed up! I enjoy going on walks/runs and am always so happy to have a companion along side. I am so excited to get to know and care for more furry friends! I currently have a very available and flexible schedule to help care for your pet! Just let me know when you need some care, and I’ll be there! I will make sure that your pet is well fed, well exercised, and all around well loved. Safety and care is of UTMOST importance to me when it comes to your furry baby. I always appreciate hearing how you would like your pet to be cared for and loved, that way I can make sure I tend to all clients needs, human and pup!

About: I love to take care of any type of dog. Big, small, they’re all my favorites. I have always had a love for dogs since i was a little girl. My first dog was a great dane/pit mix, her name was Charlie. Charlie was a rescue pup. My mom and i rescued her and she was a very expensive one to get healthy again. Charlie had parvo and lots of other things, but she is now doing better than ever and here we are 11 years later :). Seeing charlie grow into the beautiful dog she is today has grown my love for dogs. I then got another dog, Lulu, Lulu is a miniature Australian shepard and is almost two years old. Friends, family and neighbors have me feed, play, walk, and hike with their dogs because it is something i’ve always loved to do! I also have two cats, one is 16 years old and the other is 7 years old. Pet care is something I always make sure to fit in my schedule. I work part time so i have a lot of time to fit in walks, play time, and some hikes. I have a fenced yard and have tons of treats, toys and another doggo to keep your fur baby some company while you’re away :)

Gabriela V.
“There is no other person I would trust more with my dogs/pets than Gabi. Not only has she watched my dog multiple times, but I have also had the pleasure of seeing her work and train her own and others, as well as give gold star care. She is thorough and thoughtful and also has an eye for details. I was never concerned that Petrie wasn’t getting attention as she communicated consistently with updates, as well as noting any concerns that arose. She also has a knack for nervous or shy dogs, and really enjoys giving them a soothing and peaceful experience. I have heard Gabi say multiple times that, “there’s no such thing as a bad dog. They just need someone to speak their language.” If you want your mind to be at ease that your dog will be happy, given medications appropriately, and will have the best walk of their lives, I assure you’re making a great decision choosing Gabi.”


Kinan C.Star Sitter
“I can’t say enough about how grateful we are for Kinan! We were gone for ten days and he stayed with our two dogs, Luna and Harley, treating them like family. Daily walks, playtime, cuddle sessions you name it, he did it with love. He even sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us such peace of mind. When we came home, the pups were happy and relaxed, and our house looked great. We’ll definitely be calling him again!”
