“I can't say enough about Cynthia, she went above and beyond taking care of my pets. She showed so much compassion and care especially to my 15 year old dog. I will absolutely book her again.”
“Theresa is great with our 2 dogs, they seemed to accept her as part of our pack almost immediatey! She is prompt, takes great care of them for our drop in visits, and I highly recommend her services.”
“I greatly appreciated Susan’s diligent care of my elderly dog over the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s hard to leave a beloved pet over the holidays, but I could tell by Susan’s daily messages that I didn’t need to worry. She walked him twice daily which he loves. He even seemed to eat better for her than he does for me! I will definitely use her again.”
“Tim was an excellent cat sitter while we were away on a weeklong trip. Stopping by a couple times a day and always providing a lot of photos of our girl to keep our worries at bay. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Tahoe area!”
About: Hi there! My name is Gabi and I have about 10 years of pet care experience. I’ve worked with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors! I have spent time working at boarding facilities where I administered all kinds of medications and kept up with individual dogs’ feeding schedules. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs and being active, but also don’t mind if your pup is more of a couch potato that just wants some company. Whatever their needs, I’ll be there for them AND you! I’m a county employee so I do work full time, but on the days that you schedule me, I’ll be completely available to you! I also understand that sometimes life happens and I’m more than willing to be flexible when needed! Each dog is an individual and I like to take my time getting to know each dog I work with. I have previous experience working at a behavioral center for dogs, so if your dog is fearful or maybe even a little reactive here and there, that’s totally okay! I will always take the time to connect with your dog on their timeline
“This was our first drop-in visit and Ginny and I could not be more grateful.! Mindy communicated when she was on her way, once she arrived, and then she shared photos of her walk and visit with me while I was at work. The best part was just knowing that my dog was in such good hands and that when I arrived home, Ginny was in a great mood!!! I highly recommend Mindy to care for your best furry friends!!!”
“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”
“Katelyn is amazing! She goes above & beyond to make sure your fur babies are well cared for while you’re away. She’s given my family such peace of mind with photo updates, staying in touch, quick responses, & her schedule flexibility. I highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your furry family!”
About: Hi! I am a full time Gardnerville resident and would love to meet your furry friend. I am experienced with senior dogs and am very patient with our older friends who need a little more patience and tlc. But I also love a rambunctious youngster and would love to take your little one on fun hikes, walks or just a leisurely stroll around your neighborhood. I am available for walk visits, feeding visits or any visit your pet may need, even if it's just some love and a belly rub. I will also take small dogs into my home for overnight stays provided they are crate trained. I am available seven days a week. I work 3 mornings out of the home, but am only gone for approximately 2 hours. My husband is home most of those times and can look after your little one while I am gone in case any issues were to arise during my absence. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your bestie to run around and enjoy the outdoors. There are no other pets in my home and if I am watching your pet, he/she will be the only animal in my home during that time. If a pet is staying overnight, they will need to be crated. I do not allow pets to sleep in my bed, but they can sleep in the bedroom with me and my husband if that makes them more comfortable.

I’m currently working full time and make my own schedule, so I can fit anything in. I will never be too busy to take care of a pet! In my clients home I will never pose a threat. Thats your home and your animals home. Ill just be there to take care of your sweet fur baby!

Gabriela V.
“There is no other person I would trust more with my dogs/pets than Gabi. Not only has she watched my dog multiple times, but I have also had the pleasure of seeing her work and train her own and others, as well as give gold star care. She is thorough and thoughtful and also has an eye for details. I was never concerned that Petrie wasn’t getting attention as she communicated consistently with updates, as well as noting any concerns that arose. She also has a knack for nervous or shy dogs, and really enjoys giving them a soothing and peaceful experience. I have heard Gabi say multiple times that, “there’s no such thing as a bad dog. They just need someone to speak their language.” If you want your mind to be at ease that your dog will be happy, given medications appropriately, and will have the best walk of their lives, I assure you’re making a great decision choosing Gabi.”

Leonardo M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Leonardo for pet and house sitting especially because my dogs can be quite challenging to care for. They have their own unique personalities and require a lot of attention, exercise and patience. Leonardo not only understands their needs but also connects with them in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’ve seen him manage them with ease. Knowing that my dogs are in such capable and caring hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away!”
