Cat Sitting New Washoe City

About: Apart from being a dog and pet owner for most of my life, I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, cats, birds and other small pets. Now as a mother in my 40s working part time, and with a 20+ year career in marketing & communications, I am ready to help you with your beloved pet including custom and senior care and will keep you informed along the way. I'm also not afraid to ask questions! I am Reiki Level II certified and have applied these skills with rescue dogs to help them feel more grounded and secure. I work part time and have a young daughter in third grade, so I have some flexibility during the weekdays for drop ins and walks! Building trust and maintaining a safe environment is my utmost priority. Not only will I keep clear communication along the way, but I lead with my heart in everything I do.

“Rachel as always did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures to update me. I would highly recommend her and Dylan to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I have five years experience in taking care of pets, I have mostly taken care of cats and dogs. I am versed in walking dogs, including non-dog friendly pets. I also have skills in taking care of animals that need special care, such as older or with health conditions that require medications. I truly enjoy being around them. Traits that are important to my success with animals are my patience, reliability, and integrity. I also have a desire to aid people, and engage with them. I am flexible and willing to learn new techniques if given the chance. I'm a student at UNR with one more semester to go and have plenty of time on the weekends and some weekdays to take care of your pet. I will follow any rules set in your home and abide by them for your pet's safety. I provide timely communication upon request, including updates and photos.

About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾‍♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁

“This was our second time using Olivia to take care of our cat while we were out of town. She did a great job! Olivia is a great communicator and takes excellent care of our cat. I’d definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a good pet sitter, and I look forward to booking her again for future sits.”

“Sarah was great. After meeting with her and introducing her to the dogs, I knew she was going to be a good match for the dogs/job. This was the first time using this service, and am thankful I took a chance. I appreciated the ease of communication, picture updates during the visits, and knowing I could trust my babies would be looked after. I would use Sarah for any future pet sitting needs.”

Erin H.

“Cat has been absolutely amazing with my dogs. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and a true dog whisperer! One of my pups has been anxious as of late and Cat was nothing short of patient and kind and worked with my pup to help her feel more comfortable. I’m so thankful for the love and care she shows my dogs.”

Amber D.

“Kinan regularly checks in with my pup and is always consistent and reliable. Definitely safe to say my dog has a new friend, very relieving to be able to trust Kinan with my guy!”

Bryce R.

“Amber communicated great. She did the few things I asked and showed up when she said she would. I would recommend”

Jennifer S.

“Angie was fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my 2 dogs. She walked them every day, some days multiple times and just took great care of them. The photos were forthcoming after each visit and my dogs just loved her visits. I saw them on my Ring cams running after Angie and jumping up to meet her when she arrived. I will use Angie forever!”

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.

“Kiara was diligent and an excellent commucator. Maggie loved her! Normally she is anxious when left alone, but she warmed up to Kiara immediately.”

About: Ever since I was 12 I have been caring for my neighbors dogs and my own pets. Currently I work at a doggy daycare where I supervise over 25+ dogs at a time. I also provide grooming services, enrichment, and administering medication. I have a big passion for animals and would love to watch over yours! I currently work part time 6-8hrs a day, but when I’m off I have plenty of time to pet sit or care for your animal! When pet sitting at your house, I will always make sure the pet is comfortable with me and sharing their space. I am great at recognizing body behavior and will make sure your pet is safe!

About: I helped my mom take care of 4 boxers growing up which we bought as puppies. I love taking care and watching my friend’s pets. I am also an experienced RN just taking a break from nursing. I will treat your pet as family. I am willing to fit your pet care in to my daily routine. Some times I have trouble waking up in the morning but I am motivated to make money right now. I don’t think having pets in my home would be best. My normal job is RN, moved here from PA, taking some time to collect myself in between jobs and find a travel assignment that works for me. I will treat your pet like it is my family. Thank you for your interest and consideration.

About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.

About: I've always been surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, which has given me a deep understanding and appreciation for animals. I have helped On-Command training, to train my Poodle and a few others. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. A lifelong dream of mine has been to be a Veterinarian. Working with animals isn't just something I enjoy-it's my passion. I do work a full time, Monday-Friday job. But am willing to work around my 8-5 for your needs. I can stop by before, during lunch, and after work! :) I WOULD NOT MIND GOING TO YOUR HOUSE. I provide care in the comfort of your pet's home. OVERNIGHT STAYS: If need be, I can spend the night for consistent company.
