Cat Sitting in Floriston

“Mickenzie did a great job watching taking care of Socks and Kitt last week. She made sure that they were feed during their usual schedule and cleaned their litter boxes twice a day. She even took photos for each visit. Socks seemed to be very comfortable around her. Kitt is still shy, but that is how she has always been around other people. I would be happy to have her take care of them while I am out of town again.”

About: Not only have I had pets my whole life, I have cared for other peoples pets as well. I pride myself as being reliable. I consider our pets as family. Each have personalities, emotions, and specifics needs like every member of our family do. This is how I approach caring for pets. I am an active person so would love to take your pet on adventures. I am a full time graduate engineer student at University of Nevada, Reno. I have classes I have to attend Monday - Thursday for approximate 4-6hrs. When I am not on campus I would love having a furry study buddy to hang out with or stretch my legs with on an adventure. At the moment I can not accept caring for pets at my home, although I more than happy to take your pet on a hike, walk or care for them in your home.

About: I grew up with a household of pets. After leaving my childhood home I moved to the Tahoe Truckee area and began working for a veterinarian. I studied animal behavior in college and I continued to work in the veterinary profession until my retirement in 2022, for 40 plus years! I have always devoted myself to the best of care for all of my own pets, including hamsters, parakeets, cats, dogs, rats, and chickens, and to the pets of friends and family including horses. I am very tuned into their health and medical needs as well as their everyday fun and attention needs. I love to walk and am very safety conscious. I am free to offer services many days. Now that I am newly retired I do spend some time traveling away from home or with other part time activities but, in general, my schedule is very flexible. As I currently have a senior cat who is afraid of dogs, I prefer most of my services be in your home or walking your dogs. However, some cat loving, mellow dogs might be possible for short periods in my home as needed. I do not have a fenced yard so outside time in my home would be leash walking time, dependent on the needs of your dog, for safety.

About: Dog walks, runs, hikes, parks, grooming, play time, and chill time. A lot of TLC of course too! Dietary needs vary by breed and by individual. We can talk about feeding schedules and any particular preferences. Experienced with medication administration if needed. I’d love to know more about the personality of your pet(s)! Are they good with other animals? Are they frightened by anything? What are some of their favorite things? Updates on the stay are 1-3 times per day with pictures (catered to your preference) Let’s meet! Have questions? Let’s set up a meet and greet through Rover at no charge. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family. My schedule is extremely flexible and I design it with your pets care in mind. I'm very conscious of each pets needs! I can be active and take your pup(s) on outdoor adventures or snuggle up on the couch with some treats. I am currently not offering pet care services in my home, but I am more than happy to set up a meet & greet so that we can get to know each other and your fur family's needs!

About: Ever get tired of hearing someone say your dog " is just a dog". Like what does that even mean?! Yes, I will treat my animal with the utmost love and care and I will treats your the same.❤️ I'm currently in school but taking online classes so I'm very flexible. I can work around schedules for those who are on a strict schedule. I follow same eating routines and provide bathing, brushing, exercise, poddy breaks, teaching new tricks and of course treat time. I let them roam free and explore.

About: I have house sit for neighbors and friends since I was 12 years old, I have watched dogs, cats, even fish. I am great with pets and knowledgeable about a whole range of pets, from dogs to fish to even reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My schedule is flexible, I am available most days unless specified. I work from home as an artist. I would say my max preferred stay length is about 4 days. I have a large yard, live near many trails for walks, and the rest of my family love dogs. I have a dog, Lucy, she is 13 and can get a bit jealous, but overall she is very sweet.

About: I have been pet sitting and pet walking for years. I love meeting other pets and while not working or helping out friends with their pet needs I have a dog of my own who is my companion and best friend. I am currently working from home and make my own hours. I have open availability. I care for my own dog so would like to be able to walk him in between other pet visits. My husband watch’s our dog when I am away so I am free for over nights. I can walk dogs to wherever their owner feels comfortable with them going. I can have play dates with them in their owners home. I can do anything the pet owner needs me to do.

About: I have owned and loved dogs my whole life, and really just love animals in general. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed "Fear Free" training. I have experience with senior dogs and understand their needs and limitations. I will be sure to follow all instructions and love your fur babies as much as you do. I recently retired and now have time to pet all the dogs! I am recently retired so I have a very flexible schedule for dog walking, mid-day potty breaks/play time, or house sitting. I can often take same day requests. I follow all instructions given and I am very good at communicating via text if any questions arise, or if you just want a quick photo of your fur baby. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. My past career in information technology project management has made me very organized, punctual, and detail oriented.

“Gissell is the best. I have total confidence that my kitties are well taken care of when Gissell drops in for them while we’re away. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Malea did a wonderful job! I would book her again in heartbeat she communicates well is responsible, neat and sends some great videos and pics while you are away.”

About: Having had two dogs, I love being active with them and making them feel loved. Because that’s what they do for us too, am I right?! I have some experience in basic training, house sitting/dog sitting for short and long periods of time. I have been pet sitting for over ten years for all types of dogs, big and small, fluffy and smooth, young and old. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your dog(s) to keep them and me active, happy, and healthy! I can help with feeding, walking, of course, administering meds, cuddling, and basic training reinforcement. I value dogs as if they are people and acknowledge the amount of care they need. Your pup is/are in good hands with me!

“Courtney did a wonderful job again! I hate when I have to be apart from them, but it is easier knowing that Courtney will be checking in on them.”

About: We have taken care of animals all our lives and have a genuine love for each of them. We have experience with it all; new puppies and kittens, as well as older furry friends who may need special treatment and/or administering medication. Between the both of us, we always make it a priority to work with our pups with lots of playtime, exercise, training and socialization daily. We both are self employed and create our own schedules so we are flexible and work together to ensure our pets have an enjoyable & active day. We have a large dog-friendly fenced-in yard as well as amazing trails just outside our backdoor. Our Aussie-Border Collie mix, Penny is super friendly and submissive and gets along with everyone. She is super gentle when needed and can hold her own with larger dogs also. We have a very well socialized cat, Eleanor, who LOVES dogs and visitors.

About: My husband and I have always had dogs, I have had cats and bunnies as well. I have fostered kittens as well. We lost our elderly dog ( yes, we know how to carry a dog outside to pee and how to not sneak up on deaf ones) a few years ago. We have two young kids that LOVE animals. Rover is a way for us to give that pet love and hopefully receive it until we get our own dog in future. My husband works from home full time . I work part time out of house, but have chunks of week off of work. We would post availability when We are both around and have no trips planned We have a fenced back yard and an unfenced large front lawn. We have paths near our house for great outdoor walks. We can have well behaved dogs sleep in our room in beds if they like or if they crate sleep, we can place where they are comfortable. We are early risers so if your dog need out in morn, we can accommodate. I am a nurse and feel comfortable administering medications to animals as well.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from pups to seniors. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and connected while their humans are away. I make sure they are cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pup craves active walks/ trail hikes or peaceful cuddles around the house, I adapt to their needs and energy level. During pet sitting or walks, I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, exercise and lots of treats. I currently work part-time Monday through Thursday and am available after 4:30 PM on those days. I have open availability Friday through Sunday, so I’m flexible for weekends, evenings, and overnight care. I always follow your pet’s routine to help them feel safe and at ease in their own space. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet is cared for just like you would. You’ll get updates along the way so you know everything’s going smoothly.

About: Hello, my name is Zac. I am an avid animal lover who enjoys looking after and taking care of animals. I have worked as an Assistant Manager attendant at Dr Daves Doggie day care, and a Veterinary Technician for the past 11 years; more recently working at Sierra Pet Clinic for 6yrs. I would like to offer my sitting and walking services to anyone who needs them. Play time and walks are always a must! Being with animals is a passion of mine, and if you would like someone who loves animals, will treat your furry family member as one of their own - I’m your guy. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I m excited to work with you & your furry friend! I am in the midst of a career change from clinic work to field work in ecology, supporting fish hatcheries. Thus my schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to accommodate more clientele at this time. I offer in-house sits at your home, and ensure meet-and-greets are scheduled first to ensure both you and your animal feel comfortable and safe with my care.

“Caitlyn did a wonderful job with my shy cat. She was able to get him to play and I really appreciated that. She also made extra trips during a snowstorm to make sure that they were not hungry. I highly recommend Caitlyn and will plan on asking her to pet sit again! She did a fantastic job :D”
