Dog Walking New Washoe City

About: I have always grown up with pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish…even a reptile or two!) I adopted my pup, Hurley, nearly 15 years ago and it has been one of my joys to have her in my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, helping you practice any training you might be working on with your pooch, dispensing medications and other care needs, as well as keeping your furry friend safe if they have any anxieties or other difficult behaviors. While I am not a trainer, I have kept up regular formal, positive reinforcement training with my dog and we’ve also taken lots of fun classes like agility and nose training—meaning I know lots of fun games to keep your pup engaged during my visit. I also have experience caring for ducks and chickens, small reptiles and birds. I am a freelance consultant so my days tend to be pretty flexible. I am generally available throughout the day to care for your pooch. I am an attentive care-giver. I will follow all instructions, ensure your dog is safe in its environment—whether we are walking or playing. I have experience with dogs with medical or other special needs and will always ask about your preferences for care.

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: I've taken care of a variety of pets for almost the entirety of my life--dogs, cats, rabbits, birds--you name it and I have had them as friends. I've also taken care of large houses, farms, and gardens over the last decade. Most recently I became a cat foster mom helping socialize cats and kittens while giving them a loving transitional space before they find their furever homes. As much as I love pets I don't currently have one so I have plenty of availability for yours! The dog on my profile is my mom’s, I sometimes help her find care for him. I'm a writer so I work from home, freeing me up for all kinds of fur family adventures and care taking opportunities. Since I'm home you can be sure that your fur baby will be well watched and loved upon. I'm available seven days a week. As a responisble, professional house sitter, I have house sat homes and farms all over the world and I treat each space with the utmost care. I ensure that each home is returned in the same condition it was given to me in, fresh sheets and all. I treat every pet like they're a member of my family because they're a member of yours. I learn the personalities of each fur baby and accommodate them as necessary. I have experience with senior pets as well as special needs pets and those with quirky personalities--it just makes them all the more lovable to me!

About: Worked closely with dogs and cats in a general practice veterinary clinic, developing a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and overall welfare. Gained experience recognizing signs of good health as well as changes in behavior or condition that may indicate illness or stress. Prioritized providing calm, compassionate care while ensuring each animal's safety and comfort, building confidence in handling pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I work full-time from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On those days, I'm available for check-ins or potty breaks before 7am or after 5:30pm, resulting in 8+ hours. On Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I have a much more flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, or playtime every couple of hours as needed. I'm committed to making sure each pet receives reliable care, attention, and plenty of love while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take extra care to prevent escapes by being mindful around doors, gates, and leashes, and I always pay close attention to each pet's body language to help them feel comfortable and reduce fear or stress. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I'm happy to work at their pace to build trust. For everyone's safety, I do not offer boarding in my home or bring my own pets to client homes, as I have a reactive dog and cats of my own. This allows me to give your pet my full attention in the environment where they are most comfortable.

“Cat has been great with walking our reactive dog and we look forward having her do an overnight sit in our house soon!”

Liz M.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in dog daycare and boarding facilities, along with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs — both big and small. What sets me apart is my understanding of dog behavior and emotional needs, especially with reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs. I’m familiar with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, fear-based behaviors, and confidence building. I understand that reactive dogs are not automatically aggressive — they simply need patience, understanding, and proper handling. This is something I connect with personally through my own dog’s journey of overcoming fear and anxiety. Through both professional and personal experience, I’ve developed strong knowledge of dog body language and handling skills. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including large breeds, and I can adapt to different feeding schedules, crate-training routines, and individual care needs. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom with lots of free time. I understand that life gets crazy suddenly & I am available for same day bookings ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, personality, and needs so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, especially with nervous or reactive pets, and I always prioritize positive interactions and proper handling techniques. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, crate-training preferences, exercise needs, and household rules to help maintain consistency for your pet. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away, knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m taking a break from the vet hospital and am available almost any day. My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you. Your fluffy friend is safe with me. If you are boarding I have a large house with a big backyard and plenty of toys. I’m always willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the special bond we share with our pets. Growing up with both cats and dogs, and having been a dedicated cat owner for the past 30 years, my life has always been enriched by furry companions. I know firsthand the mix of excitement and worry that comes with leaving your beloved pets when you travel, as I feel it every time I'm away from my own. Because of this, I've come to rely on and deeply appreciate the services of amazing pet sitters on Rover, and I've loved the comfort they have provided me. I would now love the opportunity to offer that same peace of mind to you. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that allows your pets to feel safe and loved in their own environment, giving you the freedom to travel without a single worry. I currently take care of my sisters 4 dogs when she is traveling but would want to get to know a pack larger than 2 before agreeing to care for them multiple days to make sure they are comfortable with me and I am able to manage all of their needs. Currently, I am in a period of career transition, which provides me with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to be incredibly adaptable and available to your pets' specific needs, whether that means multiple visits a day, extended stays, or last-minute requests. I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine, ensuring your furry family members receive the consistent attention and care they deserve. I currently have 2 senior cats (Ollie & Georgie) who are not particularly fond of other pets in their space so I would lean towards caring for pets in your home or taking them for walks. Where ever I am I respect the property and would follow any suggestions or guidance you provide. I will treat your pets and property as if it was my own.
