Cat Sitting Floriston

“Mickenzie was reliable and very communicative during the time she checked in on our 2 cats. She provided lots of pictures after each visit along with updates of her visit. Our cats were very comfortable with her and very happy while we were gone. We hope she will be available to look after our cats in the future!”

About: I am an experienced dog walker with a background in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue work, and in-home pet sitting. I have lifelong experience with dogs and focus on providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to make sure each dog is comfortable, exercised, and well cared for during every walk. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I dedicate my time to dog walking and pet care services in the Truckee area. I keep a limited schedule so I can provide reliable, consistent, and focused care for each pet. This allows me to prioritize safety, communication with owners, and quality time with every dog I work with. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and respectful care in each pet’s familiar environment or during walks. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain routines, and prioritize each animal’s comfort and well-being. With experience in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue, and in-home pet sitting, I understand how important consistency, patience, and observation are. I make sure pets are always secure, supervised, and treated with calm, reliable handling.

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: 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.

“Carly was very easy to schedule with, quite responsive in communications and was great with Cooper. He enjoyed his time with her and we will definitely have her back.”

“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!”

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 was amazing. Thorough, kind, and great with our pets. She was very professional and personable. She went above and beyond. 10/10 would have Courtney care for pets again.”

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.

“Malea was literally the best! From her communication- punctual arrival - and extra love for our new puppy. So many wonderful pictures and I absolutely trust her to come take care of our girl anytime. We got so lucky having Malea and will def use her again! She's the best!”

About: I’ve been around animals all of my life and can’t imagine life without one or several in my own home-and I totally get the anxiety over leaving your loved ones behind while you have to work or go on a trip-let me help you with some of that anxiety the next time you need your furry family members watched! I’ve worked at animal emergency rooms and general animal hospitals for years as an assistant and am skilled at noticing any emergency situations. I can be trusted with your special needs pets, whether it be administering medications or taking easy walks for your elderly pets. I’ve worked at a wildlife sanctuary for 2 years with less-than-friendly wild animals and have trained dogs for a several years at a center for rehabilitation. Animals are my passion in life! I am a full time student juggling part time work and internships before I graduate at UNR next May, but I do my best to maintain a flexible schedule for Rover assignments Mon-Sun, so long as you can give me a 1-3 days notice! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at home and they have the most spoiled lives ever! I live with a large family and not a lot of space at home however so boarding and sitting in my own home are not an option, unfortunately. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind while you have to be away-I’m here to help you and your pets with ease!

“Very helpful with my two giant dogs.”

About: Hello, I am a local who lives full time in Tahoe City. I've been a pet owner with both dogs and cats for the last 30+years. I am a mother of two grown children that are now off away at school. I work at the local elementary school with young children of special needs. I am a fun, caring and loving person who loves both animals and humans. I am free to take care of your pet most days, nights and some weekends. I work from home during the summer months so my schedule is always flexible. I currently live in a condo down the street from Lake Tahoe. There are numerous parks at the lake as well as many hiking trails to walk your dog at that are close by my place. I will always walk your dogs on a leash unless otherwise informed by owner to let run free in the woods and trails. I am very safe and responsible.

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’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can work around your schedule in providing care to your loved ones while you are away. I love caring for pets in the place they know best, which is their home. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or cuddles, I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.

“She took care of feeding our guinea pigs while we were traveling. She was very kind and sent us photos every day, and we really appreciated it. If we’re ever away again, we would love to ask for her help. Thank you so much, Danika! 😄✨”
