“We highly recommend Susan. She has a kind and comforting demeanor who reassured our highly social cat when we were away. She sent a picture of a contented boy after each drop-in. We will be using Susan again.”


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.

“Kind, respectful, and knowledgeable, Olivia is the BEST! I was gone for ten days and didn’t have a worry about my kitties thanks to her care. 10/10, Would Cat Again!”


“It’s so nice knowing my pup is in excellent care when I am out of town. Joslyn has great communication skills. I love receiving her check-in notes and photos… plus my pup loves her. I highly recommend. Thanks Joslyn!”


“Thank you Tessa. You did a great job walking Luna 4 times yesterday. I love that you text me and sent pics every time. I was so impressed and confident with your professionalism and we look forward to our next booking with you. Very Highly Recommended.”


“Holly came for three drop in visits. Holly was great with the dogs. She was dependable. We will use her again in the future.”


“Amazing people took good care of my babys keept me updated on everything. Thankyou guys .”


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.

“Rachel as always did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures to update me. I would highly recommend her and Dylan to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Leah was awesome! My pups immediately liked her and she was super accommodating when I needed some extra visits. She's my first choice going forward!”



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.

“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.”


About: What truly sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and genuine connection I bring to every animal I care for. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them, learn their personalities, and treat them like my own. I prioritize trust, safety, and consistency, making sure your pet feels secure and loved whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. With experience starting at a young caring for a wide range of animals—from dogs and cats to more unique companions—I’m well-versed in animal behavior and creating a calm, nurturing environment. I also go the extra mile with regular updates, photos, and personalized routines to give both you and your pet peace of mind. I am a stay at home mom who also works remote. Aside from some appointments and some prior obligations here and there, I have an open schedule I enjoy going on walks and doing stop in check ups/care on pets as needed. I have a baby and odds are she will be with me. Please let me know if your pet is not child friendly so I can plan accordingly. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, familiar environment that keeps routines intact and stress levels low. I follow each pet’s specific schedule—feeding times, medications, playtime, and cuddle time—just as you would, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. I respect your space, and always provide updates with photos so you never feel far from your pet. During walks, I focus on more than just exercise—I make sure your pet gets mental stimulation, time to sniff and explore, and lots of positive reinforcement. I tailor every walk to your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic outing. Safety is my top priority, and I’m always alert, leash-conscious, and prepared for any situation.

About: I have fostered kittens and puppies since I was 15, and have loved to be hands on with any street animals I see. We rescued my cat from a local dumpster and she has been with us for 6 years. I love all things cute, and currently work as a Pediatric CNA. I am enrolled in my second Bachelor’s degree program to hopefully become a registered Labor and Delivery Nurse! I work a minimum of two twelve shifts a week at Carson Tahoe, often picking up shifts as often as I can! I love to stay busy and fill gaps of time with hobbies or side jobs ! My schedule is all over the place but i manage things very well and balance everything out to be able to give your pet the best care! I am very open to different pet parenting styles. As a long time pet sitter I can manage different tasks and boundaries efficiently, to keep your pet safe and most importantly FEEL it too!

“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!”
