Pet Sitting East Reno

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for over 15 years, specifically caring for dogs and cats. Until now, this has been for friends, family and through word of mouth. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, puppies, senior pets, special diets, exercise routines and the everyday little things that come with keeping a household running while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic house sitting tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out trash and keeping things tidy. I genuinely enjoy animals and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets and home seriously. Before sitting, I prefer to have all animal specific needs, emergency contacts, primary vet information and the location of the closest 24 hour vet. I have a friendly, energetic 2.5 year old Golden Retriever who may accompany me during house sits, depending on your pet’s temperament and your preference. She loves dogs of all sizes and is great with kids. I’ll always check with you first and make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. I truly adore animals and will give your pet(s) the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Communication is also important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates however you prefer - whether that’s texts, calls, pictures or videos. I can check in frequently or give you plenty of space, whatever makes you most comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available for walks, drop in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays, weekends and holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different schedules and care needs with advance notice. I’ll keep your pets as close to their normal routine as possible. A typical day will include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks and plenty of attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I’m also happy to follow specific exercise routines, feeding instructions, medications or other care instructions. For overnight house sits, I’ll spend the night in your home and treat it respectfully as my own. I’m happy to handle basic household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out trash and keeping things tidy. I’m comfortable spending time with your pets throughout the day while also giving them space when they want it. I’m happy to provide updates by text, call, pictures or videos at whatever frequency you prefer. I have a friendly, energetic 2.5 year old Golden Retriever who may accompany me on some house sits. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand and only bring her when it’s a good fit for your pets and your preferences.

“Alex was an absolute lifesaver when she helped me out last minute with watching my dog, Shadow! She was amazing from start to finish. Super flexible about meeting up, really listened to what I was looking for, and went above and beyond spending extra time playing with Shadow and giving him lots of love. She even gave some extra love to our cats.Shadow absolutely loved making a new friend, and I couldn’t be happier that I found Alex. I’ll 100% be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”

About: I absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!

“Amber is AMAZING! She watches my puppy weekly and she is so patient and kind with my little puppy. Amber is very attentive when she’s with my little puppy and will spend the whole time playing with him and working on commands with him. Amber responds quickly to messages as well and she’s very helpful with making sure my little puppy has everything he needs before she leaves her visit with him. She will clean up whatever mess my little guy leaves without any hesitation and she’s always more than willing to help out to make sure my puppy is taken care of. Amber is definitely someone you can trust your fur baby with. She seriously is the best!”

“did a great job with my pets, very friendly and asks lots of questions during the meet and greet. only thing to be aware of if your animal is on a tight schedule is that she was late to the visits.”

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.

“Chase was punctual, professional, and my Bobby absolutely fell in love. Bobby got in his potty breaks, a couple of walks, and lots of snuggles. I would definitely utilize Chase again and we look forward to our next drop-in visits!”

“Ashley was great! She was on time, responded to messages quickly and my cats liked her right away. She took care of them, spent a little time with them each visit and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy cats. This was my first time using Rover and it was fantastic. And I’m very happy to have found you!”

Sadie S.

“Krista was awesome! Very communicative and flexible through the whole process. We dropped our puppy off with her for several hours. She was caring and did a great job caring for Libby. I recommend her and would use her again!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have been around them my entire life! I currently have two Great Pyrenees and a terrier of my own, and I’ve also had Belgian Malinois and Boxers in the past, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I recently graduated from UNR with my Master’s in Finance and am currently job searching, so I’m looking for a flexible way to earn some extra money on the side while doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with dogs! My schedule is currently very flexible! Aside from job searching, my only occasional commitments are weekend trips to visit my boyfriend, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week and most weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s routine! I treat my pets like family and am very attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through recovery, including rehabilitating my female dog after her spay and helping another of my dogs recover from knee surgery after a tear. I’ve also owned and cared for a Belgian Malinois, which gave me experience with a highly intelligent, energetic, and demanding breed. Over the years, I’ve dealt with everything from medications and post-surgery care to injuries, behavioral needs, and different activity levels, so I’m very comfortable providing patient, responsible, and attentive care.

“Very kind and thoughtful, Bob did a great job looking after my cat Angie while I was OOT on a client trip. He always sent photos and did more than was asked. FIVE STARS!!”

About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.

“Excellent care and communication”
