Pet Sitting Floriston

About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I'm a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant with 20 years of professional animal care experience, and I bring that same expertise and genuine love for animals to every drop-in visit. Whether I'm caring for a dog or a cat, I tailor each visit to what your pet actually enjoys — feeding, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or just calm company. I know how to read animal behavior and body language, so your pet gets what they need to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Every visit includes a text update with photos or video, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I'd love to meet your pets — feel free to message me! Caring for pets is my full-time passion, not a side gig! My schedule is dedicated entirely to the animals in my care, so you can count on reliability and consistency. I'm available for dog walks Monday through Friday and the occasional weekend, and I offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday as well as on weekends, making it easy to find coverage whenever you need it. I offer care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most at ease. Keeping pets in their familiar environment reduces stress and keeps their routine intact while you're away.

“Mickenzie is so great with my pets. She goes above and beyond for them and really is so helpful when I'm gone across the country, I really can count on her. She sends me pictures so I feel comfortable and keeps me updated.”

“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!”

“We were visiting Truckee to ski for a weekend and brought our 5 month old puppy! Chloe spent a few hours with her each day and was amazing - she was super communicative, reliable, and friendly. We will definitely contact her next time we are in Tahoe!”

About: I’ve had experience taken care of many animals ever since I was born. I have always had three dogs living in my house, no matter the year. I’ve had many pets and taken care of many animals from bearded dragons, bunnies, dogs all the way to chickens! Being around animals is my happy place and I would love to care for yours!! I work seasonally for Tahoe Donner and I am off work every day at 3 PM. Anytime after 3 PM I am available all night long! Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m very flexible and have my own vehicle meaning I can care for any animal outside of my work hours! I am also free on weekends every single week! I love to make sure they are well fed, and well entertained! I own one dog myself and care for two others at my home in Arizona and I’m constantly playing with them and making sure that they are happy! Personally, my dogs are allowed on my furniture, and I love to snuggle with them! (this varies for some people but that is just my personal preference)

About: I love my dog and everyone else's! I dog and house sit for all my family and friends gladly. Im passionate and kind with all animals. I am retired so my schedule is wide open. If you need flexibility, that is me! I can work in Tahoe or Reno if needed. I am always home with my dog and dogs I sit. I do run the occasional errand but otherwise I am around and attentive. I love 2+ hour walks

“On short notice, we needed a sitter to drop in on our two dogs while we were visiting Alpine Meadows. Elizabeth responded right away to my request. Our two reactive dogs warmed up to her so she must have had a special touch. We would definitely ask her again if we need help when visiting Alpine Meadows.”

Margaret Z.

“Rose took great care of our cat while we were away. She sent pictures and videos of our cat during each visit and we could see that our cat was very comfortable with her. I will definitely contact Rose again if we need care for our pets in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, 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 needs 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 as a hair stylist Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. I have open availability the rest of the week. So I'm flexible for 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: I have been working with animals my entire adult life, for the last 5 years. I have experience working in veterinary offices, as well as caring for senior and disabled pets in a home setting. I am available any day of the week at most hours. I am happy to go for a long walk or throw the ball for a high energy pet, or do a midday check-in for an elderly or disabled pet who just needs some extra attention. I find working with animals very fulfilling, and I would love to care for your pet! I am an online college student, so my schedule is very open for daytime dog walking and other drop in visits. I am available weekdays on short notice, and weekends with a few days notice. I am confident in reading animal body language and taking cues from pets so that they feel safe. I am happy to do repeated visits as long as I have met the owner once and have been able to communicate about your expectations and needs.

“Locke and his partner were great with my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy Hagrid. Very quick in communicating what they needs, receptive to suggestions and are great caretakers. I would recommend Locke to people who are facing a similar challenge of working in-person and having to take care of their fur babies.”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with 8+ Years of Experience Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (yes—even snakes and lizards!), and more. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I offer drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm known for being nurturing, compassionate, and dependable. I’ve also cared for dogs with special medical needs—including giving insulin injections—so if your pet needs a little extra attention, I’ve got you covered. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry (or scaly or feathered!) family member! I'm currently in school Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m fully available Friday through Sunday, and flexible around my class schedule when needed. The care I’ll give to your pet as an individual is the feeling of unconditional love, the sense of feeling safe and relaxed along with the security of knowing I’m a guest in their space being extra observant of their boundaries. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your family on your pet sitting needs! I look forward to hearing from you and your furry friend!

About: Hi, my name is Natalie! I'm a senior at the University of Nevada-Reno studying computer science and engineering, planning to begin my Masters in electrical engineering next fall. I'm on the track & field and cross country team here, and I do rigorous training for it! Hoping to take a dog or two on my runs! While I didn’t have the oppotunity to grow up with pets in the house, I did have a lot of beloved animals that I looked after while their owners were away. I was a routine dog-walker for a few family friends until they recently moved away. My dad adopted three adorable cats a few years ago, and I’ve gained lots of valuable experience learning about animal behaviors and cat care from them! I live a very active lifestyle, I run about 7 miles per day, and I love hiking in the Sierras. While my dad's cats can’t come with me, I’d love to take a dog (or leash-trained cat) along with me on a run! Hoping to meet your pets soon! Currently, my schedule consists of classes and cross country training in the early morning through early afternoon on weekdays. I have breaks in my schedule, so I’m free for pet loving almost all of the time! When pet-sitting, I’m always attentive of pets and their behaviors. I understand this is not my home, so I make sure to be respectful of house rules and stay clean.

About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.

About: Hi, I’m Aly. I am a Reno local and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Ecology from UNR in 2020, so my passion is animals. I have been pet sitting on the side for about 5 years and have experience with small dogs, big dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses. I am able to provide any oral medication needed, feeding, walks, playtime, and whatever else your pet requires to be comfortable. No job is too big or too small! This is my full time/year-round job and my hope is that I can help people live the flexible lives they want/need with the comfort of knowing their home and pets are safe and being taken care of. Pet care is my full-time and year-round job. I am available 7 days a week and also on holidays. I accept same day bookings because I know life happens and I understand the additional stress of finding pet care last-minute. My hope is to alleviate that stress and provide reliable care for your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, I try to keep the pets schedule consistent with their normal routine. That includes feedings, medication, bathroom breaks, and sleep schedules. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so you can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos of your pet while you’re away.

“Kellye was great. She sent pictures everyday and Mac loved her. I would recommend.”

Audrey A.

“Lexy has great energy and does a great job with our pups. She has great patience with our young dog who is a little skittish and has let him warm up to her in his own time. She is always prompt and on time and listens to instructions well…all you could ever want for a great pet sitter!”

Kara v.

“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.”

Patty S.

“Kelly is caring and patient with all the dogs. It's wonderful that she played with our puppy which got the baby tired out so our puppy was extra relaxed afterwards. We will definitely book her again.”
