House Sitting Lockwood

“Kinan was exceptional. He took great care of our two pups, made sure the house was spotless when we arrived home, and helped us with a very big project. Can't recommend him enough, and plan to work with him again!”

“Dustin was great with our cats while we were away. We were gone for 11 days and nervous about leaving our cats. Dustin proved to be a very reliable pet and house sitter. We had a handful of items pop up while we were away. Dustin was quick to communicate and act on some special requests for us. He was responsive to our messages, sent photos everyday, and cared for our boys beyond our expectations for a house sitter. We’ll definitely be using Dustin again in the future!”

“Michael does an exceptional job attending to the daily needs of my dogs, but just as important to them are the number of walks and fetch time they get. As always, they are happy to see me arrive home, but lay around waiting for Michael to arrive even after I've been home a few days. That is the sign of a good sitter. My house is always left in equal or better condition than when I left which is so much appreciated. Thanks again, Michael, for another over and above experience!”

“We needed a last minute sitter and Emely helped us out! She was great and communicated with us well. I know our pup can be rumbustious, but she handled her well. Thanks again!”

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.

“Easha house sat for me and took care of my two dogs. She is fantastic with the dogs (one of my dogs is a rescue and very stand-off-ish. She took to Easha quickly!). Easha sent pics daily to reassure me that everyone was happy. She's very trustworthy and respectful of others homes. I will definitely book her services in the future.”

“Janet was very attentive and thorough. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. Our dog Hollie and birds were well taken care of. Janet walked our dogs more than we asked for so she went above and beyond her scope of work. We will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for the past 10 years and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Having dogs and cats of my own has given me a strong understanding of how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets keep their usual routine so they feel at home. I am currently working part time and will be sure to provide my availability, so that together we can be sure your pet is given the best possible care. I will ensure your pet is well cared for while you're away, providing them with plenty of attention and care. They are family afterall.

“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”

Royene C.

“Christ did an amazing job with my dogs, took them out on walks, sent lots of photos and took very good care of them while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend him to sit for anyone.”

“Emilee is a true animal lover. She bonded with our pup immediately and learned her personality traits. She’s very caring and really connects with animals. My dog loves her”

About: I am troustworthy and reliable animal lover, this is how I got recruited into dog sitting years ago. I have experience with both large and small adult dogs. I also am a cat whisperer! I am an active person, so if your doggo needs some exercise and play time, I'm there to wear them out! I like to remain in touch with owners by sending photos and videos throughout my time with your pet, and understand that sometimes plans change or flights get delayed- no worries as I am a super flexible problem solver who will make sure your furry friend is well taken care of in your abscence! I'm new to Reno and am taking a break from my career, so my schedule is very much open and flexible! Let me know if you have special scheduling requests or even last minute needs! You can trust me to show up, communicate, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and fed in your absence. I most certainly will do my best to take care of whatver special needs your pet has. They will get all the attention and loving needed. I can also provide cleaning or grocery shopping services so your home is nice and clean upon your return (for additional fee).

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and current cat parent who would be happy to give your pets some extra love and attention while you’re away. I grew up with dogs ranging from small to large, so I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m happy to take a well-trained dog for a walk, stop by for meals and fresh water, provide bathroom breaks, and make sure they get some companionship and attention while you’re gone. I also have experience living with a cat and would love to care for your feline friends as well. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, and am especially happy to help with adult or senior pets who appreciate a little extra patience and a relaxed approach. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and cared for- and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and see if I’m a good feel for your pet-care needs! I work full-time Monday-Friday in Carson, but let care fits nicely into my routine. If in Carson City, I can check in with pets on my lunch. Otherwise I am available for visits before or after work, evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and provide dependable, respectful care in their familiar environment. Because I have a cat of my own, I don’t board pets in my home but I’m happy to care for them in yours, where they can stay comfortable in their own space and routine.

“Aanakin was wonderful with Topi! I could tell Topi was really well cared for and felt completely comfortable with her while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Aanakin was kind, reliable, and took great care of my girl. It means a lot to be able to leave Topi with someone I trust and know she’s in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Aanakin and would happily have her watch Topi again! ❤️”

“Emido was perfect for my pups. He is very responsive and sends pictures of meal times and walks. We appreciated our fur babies in his good hands. Highly recommend.”

Jennie W.

“Luka did a fantastic job watching our Australian Sheppard and two kitties while we were away. Our Aussie needs a lot of attention and activities or he gets restless. Luka kept him happy and our home was in perfect condition when we got home. Highly recommend!”

Jessica P.

“Rachel was fantastic from the beginning: communication was easy, my dog was super comfortable during the pre-booking meet and greet, and the sitting went flawless. I’ll definitely try to book again next time!”

Shayne S.

“More than 5 stars! Devin was AWESOME with my difficult dog Oliver. Very communicative throughout the stay with pictures and daily updates. Followed the instructions that I left to a T! The best part was that Oliver seemed to have a great time with him (I'm sure he will post some pictures) I hope to book him again this summer if I need to go on another trip.”

“Hannah was so sweet and took such amazing care of my little guy!! It shows how much she really cares and the photo updates were super reassuring and helped put me at ease from being away from my doggy. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone!!”

About: Our best friend left us last year; a 15-year-old golden retriever, and he was our most important experience in training for dog care. My experience with elderly dogs and puppies has made me seasoned and skilled in practicing patience and understanding. My preparation for your stay is thorough, our yard is locked and mostly sterile, with room for your dog to stretch their legs and have a run around about as often as needed. I have two 24/7 pet hospitals on speed dial, and we have two vehicles ready for quick transport should the need arise. My schedule is open with a few dates in the near future taken. Otherwise, I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Alignment Before our first sit, we will do a brief Meet & Greet to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. Subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch." A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. My workspace is out in the open, and we have stair blockers to keep them with me on the ground floor. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. Photos will always be candid shots taken from a respectful distance—no forcing your pet to pose or look at the camera. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will immediately step in and contact you if I notice any of the following deviation triggers: Refusal to eat or drink over a period of time that is specified by you, since many pets are different. I will reach out if they stop drinking water when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits or accidents in the house. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use gates to block access to stairs. I will hide cords, easily swallowed things, and make sure it's clean. I vacuum regularly, secure window screens, and keep doors to dangerous rooms closed.
