About: I love dogs, and I love taking dogs to the dog park. I am a very outgoing person. I love companionship. I will make your dog tired so they will have a good night sleep. I have taken care of many dogs: small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs and giant dogs. I have taken care of family friends dogs since I was 9. I can handle any type of dog or size of dog. My dog gets along great with other dogs. She loved meeting new dogs, shes very hyper and very playful. She lovers wearing out other dogs in our yard or at the dog park. I have a park right next to my house that I usually walk my dog at. It is a fairly large park so your dogs will be a little tired after our walks. I am currently a stay at home mom with my almost 5 year old and 6 month old. I have all the free time in the world to care for your pets! My dogs are on an eating schedule 2 times a day once in the morning and once at night, we do daily walks and play time outside!

About: Hi! My name is Ale im offering services including dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs and anxious pets that need extra patience and attention. In addition to dogs, I am comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including cats and reptiles. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I currently care for my own dogs, a turtle, and leopard geckos, which has given me hands on experience with different care needs and routines. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, or just companionship, I treat every animal like my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.❤️ I am available Monday-Friday afternoons & all day Saturday & Sunday! I could possibly accommodate some things so don’t be afraid to ask !! I can care for anything from reptiles to fur babies 🩷 I have a very spacious and fenced backyard available for your dog. I will take care of walking and potty breaks as needed. Following your feeding hours.

About: I've been rover verified and trusted for 5 years and I recently moved back home from Soquel for a 5 month stay as well as Clearlake CA. from running a bed and breakfast for the past 2.5 years where i also did my pet/house sitting. Animals are my passion and if you know me, you love me. i'm respectful, clean, and responsible. I've had some wonderful pets in my life, but at the moment do not have any animals. I am on the lookout for the perfect dog and hope to find her soon. I'm that girl who stops and asks to pet every dog along my path. I even roll down my window to talk to the dog in the car next to me. Oh and dont let me see an animal who is in distrees, lost or scared. My super hero cape comes out. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and if you pick me you will see they love me right back. Thanks for reading I am currently employed part time so I have lots of time to hang with the fur babies. I will make your pet and home my priority. I want your pets to feel like mom and dad are not really away and aunt Rene is visiting. They will be spoiled with attention.

About: I have always loved to get to know other pets and be able to take care of them since i was little, when i got my first dog she hasn’t left my side and she was easily trained fun tricks. I’m currently going to college and my schedule varies throughout the week, but i can attend throughout the day or after my classes and i’m open on weekends. I attend to the dogs as needed and like to keep them company so they feel comfortable and like to play with them so they aren’t just sitting there.

About: I own 2 cats and a dog in this moment, but I’ve had more of both in the past. I love caring for animals! When a family member or friend needs a pet sitter, I’m the first person they ask to do the job. I love training my cats and my grandmothers dogs! I am currently free all day as I just graduated and I don’t have a job *yet*. Like I said I’m free all day and nothing is a bother or hassle! I have two cats and a dog, but they aren’t too welcoming to pets that stay long. My dog loves making friends but she quickly gets tired if the other dog is too energetic for too long. My two cats don’t care for other dogs so they stay away and hidden for the most part. Taking care of your fur baby will be most convenient in your home or if I have them for a short time in mine.

About: With 14 years of diverse experience in pet care, I bring a unique depth of knowledge and skills to my role as a pet sitter. My journey includes 10 years of in-home pet care, 6 years in doggy daycare, and 6 years in veterinary medicine. This broad exposure has equipped me with the ability to handle a variety of animal temperaments and cater to the unique needs of each pet. My time in doggy daycare has honed my skills in managing and understanding different animal behaviors, while my veterinary experience has sharpened my ability to recognize emergencies and respond swiftly to ensure the pet receives the necessary care. This combination of experiences ensures that I am prepared for any situation and can provide the best care for your pet. Pet care integrates into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time, totaling 12 hours a week, at a local animal clinic in Fernley. This arrangement provides me ample time to dedicate to caring for animals. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate pet sitting and care, ensuring that I can provide attentive, personalized care to each pet. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a welcoming space with plenty of room to play and relax, following their routine as closely as possible to make them feel secure and at ease. I maintain strict hygiene standards and keep the area safe and pet-friendly, with all necessary supplies at hand, including toys, bedding, and emergency contact information. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s routine to provide stability and comfort. I am attentive to the pet’s needs and behaviors, making sure they receive regular exercise, playtime, and any required medications or special care. I communicate regularly with the pet owners, providing updates and photos to assure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. In both settings, I am adaptable and responsive to the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care under my supervision

We have a rambunctious lab puppy that I worried would be too much for my parents while we were out of town. My parents raved about Brianna. She walked our dog everyday for a week and he loved it and she really helped him get some energy out! We would definitely look to book her again.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and still love doing it. Dogs make my day better and I love spending quality time with them. I currently work a full time job as a amazon delivery driver, I normally have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday's off. I enjoy spending time with dogs on my free time. I have a fenced backyard with lots of room. I have 3 dogs both are super friendly and love playing. But if a dog ever comes over no matter the circumstances, dogs will never be left unattended and separated.

About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.

About: I will care for and love your pets as if they’re my own. And I hope most professional sitters would! I am here to meet yourself and your pets where you are at! And with patience, love and positive reinforcement. I would be willing to care for animals of all types—nothing is off the table. As long as it’s safe! Always open for discussion.😊 I am flexible and happy to assist; I would be honored to be your trusted, communicative, attentive, detail oriented pet caretaker. I also can even do a little light housekeeping, if needed. Everything is always open for discussion. This “gig” makes me happy and gives me fulfillment outside of Real Estate. Which, by the way…I am always here for questions about that too. Pets feel most comfortable in their home. Especially if you’re away. I’m here for you all.🫶🏼 Can’t wait to meet you! A little about me: I am a realtor and love my job! But with being a solo-caretaker of my elderly grandmother, this seems to be flexible. My schedule is mostly incredibly flexible, especially if planned in advance. I’m also great for last minute saves if things fell through with your normal pet sitter! I will meet you and your pet exactly where you are at! Anything that is out of my scope of comfort will be clearly communicated in advance or as needed. I am all about open communication on both sides. I can’t help if you don’t tell me what you need! If I can’t provide it, I certainly usually know someone who could. And that goes for a lot of things. Looking to build trusting relationships with pets and their humans! I am flexible on any changes or needs you and your pets may have. I’ve cared for puppies up to senior pups for long periods of time for clients and happy to share those references upon request. The only thing I can’t provide is a place for your pets in my home but I’m always open to yours which generally seems to be ideal. Just ask.🩷 Which both

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and artist currently spending some time in the beautiful Reno/Tahoe area for art research and inspiration. My heart belongs to animals. My beloved Yorkie was my sidekick for 15 wonderful years, and we spent countless days exploring the outdoors together. Because I’m currently traveling and focusing on my art, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of love to give to your fur babies while I'm in town! I treat every pet like family. Whether your dog loves high-energy outdoor adventures, a relaxing stroll, or just quiet cuddle time while I sketch, I happily match their energy and routine. 📸 Stay Connected: You can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My Skills & Services 🐕 Dog Walking & Outdoor Play: Ready to explore local trails or just stroll around the block. 💖 Endless Love & Attention: Lots of snuggles, positive reinforcement, and companionship. 🍲 Feeding & Meal Prep: Experienced with specific dietary instructions and schedules. 💊 Medication Support: Comfortable maintaining moderate medication schedules. 🐈 Cat Friendly: Meow spoken here, too! I're happy to hang out with your feline friends. Your pet will always be treated with the utmost kindness, patience, and the same deep love I gave my own dog for 15 years. I can't wait to meet them! I am a self-employed artist and director of a small nonprofit, which gives me an incredibly flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Much of my work involves painting landscapes—capturing the beautiful mountains, lakes, and high-desert light of the Reno/Tahoe area. Because my art keeps me outdoors, I am always ready to take dogs along for fresh-air strolls, sniffing adventures, and outdoor playtime. When I am working from my laptop or sketching, pets in my care receive relaxed companionship, lots of attention, and plenty of snuggles. My flexible routine allows me to easily accommodate weekday or weekend care, house sitting, and extended stays. Your pet will seamlessly become a part of my creative, peaceful day! Since I am currently in the Reno/Tahoe area for art research, I'll mainly be focusing on House Sitting (in the client's home), Dog Walking, or Drop-In Visits rather than hosting pets at my residence (however, some exceptions can be made). Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my absolute priorities. Whether I am house-sitting in your home or visiting for walks, I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like family. Safety Outdoors: Because the Reno/Tahoe area has beautiful wildlife (like deer, coyotes, and bears), I keep all dogs securely on-leash during our walks unless we are in a designated, securely fenced dog park and you have explicitly approved off-leash time. I am also highly mindful of the pavement temperature and hydration during warm high-desert days. A Familiar, Relaxing Atmosphere: Inside your home, I strive to keep your pet’s environment calm, positive, and consistent. I love providing relaxed companionship—whether I'm sketching nearby or enjoying quiet cuddle time. Following Their Routine: I strictly follow your pet's established routine, including precise feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any necessary medication tracking. If your pet uses a crate, playpen, or has specific house rules, I will mirror them exactly. You can rest easy knowing your home is secure, and your fur baby is receiving dedicated, loving, and highly attentive care while you're away!

I trust Skyla-Marie to attend to and walk my dog when I’m working longer shifts, traveling, or just to help cope with his separation anxiety. She’s been a great local resource, is empathetic with animals, courteous, and communicative. Would recommend Skyla-Marie without hesitation.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fernley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fernley on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fernley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fernley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fernley.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fernley. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
