Pet Sitting North Valleys

“Definitely recommend Jackson! He watched our new puppy Tom Tom and went above and beyond, cleaned up after him, sent tons of photos throughout the stay, and was easy to reach the whole time.”

About: I have owned and cared for all pets from dogs and cats to horses and chickens my whole life. I have experience taking friends and neighbors dogs on regular walks or hikes. I always treat them as if they were my own and love building a bond with them. I also have experience house sitting and caring for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated high school and have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs. I can’t wait to meet you furry family members! Recently graduated and have a very open and flexible schedule. Days, nights, weekends and holidays. I can work around your schedule to make it work. I am comfortable caring for pets on a strict routine or with diet needs. I construct my routes based on your pets needs, not one size fits all. If you have a puppy needing to get some energy out, we can run or hike. If you have an older pet just wanting to stay active, a leisurely walk with shade and breaks as needed will be best. There is no request I can’t work with.

“This is the 2nd time sassy has help out with my dogs and she was amazing. She updated me with how everything was going with them as well and sent pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi, I go by Ashton. I began working with dogs in a professional setting in 2011 in Anchorage Alaska. I received my Certificate to be a Professional Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and immediately began working along side seasoned obedience, behavior modification and agility trainers. After some time I was able to begin mentoring new trainers in basic obedience, teaching them how to run puppy and adult basic obedience group classes. Though my profession career began in 2011, my passion for working with dogs truly started many years before that, here in Reno,NV, when I adopted a Chow Chow named Leo. I was just a teenager and Leo had come with several severe behavioral issues. He was both human and dog aggressive, destructive, not house broken, had sever separation anxiety, ran aware regularly and was leash reactive. Despite being uneducated in dog behavior at the time, I began to do my own research and was dedicated to teaching Leo how to feel safe, happy and confident so that he would overcome his many barriers. We walked every day and I tirelessly worked toward socializing him. When I moved to Alaska, I took Leo with me, he became my practice dog and we learned dog behavior together! In no time, he was attending puppy class with me, rolling on the floor letting puppies jump all over him. He was going on walks with other leash reactive dogs, HE was the calm presence that helped other dogs see that it was all okay. Leo learned to love people and other animals, he learn to trust and because of him and everything he overcame, my heart was set on making that difference in as many lives as I possibly could. In 2024, as a single parent, I made the difficult choice to "retire" from dog training to focus on feeding other passions and traveling with my daughter. During that time I have continued to have a lovely time with my own dogs and the dogs of close family members, but I am starting to feel the ache of wanting to help again. I have decided to offer limited services related to dog walking, drop in visits, play dates, nail trims and limited bathing/grooming. (Oh, did I mention I used to be a dog foster parent, groomer and kennel tech alongside my training?) I have outline my services in more detail below; however, feel free to reach out with any questions if you don't see what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you :) I am offering evening walks Monday - Friday, drop in visits and extended walks on Saturdays and Sundays. Dog Daycare is available for limited hours on Sundays and will be accepted on a case by case basis. Loose leash walking training can be provided in conjunction with walks at an additional cost. Please message for details. All dogs are required to be collared with identification for walks. I will request a microchip number if they have been chipped in the event of an emergency. For your dogs safety and mine: If your dog is an extreme puller, I may request to be allowed to use tools such as an easy walk harness and sort lead. If I do not have your dogs size, I may request you purchase one.

“Ronnie was communicative and caring of Lil Edie. Plenty of photos and videos of our cute little kitty. Would definitely hire Ronnie again!”

About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.

“Our babies are hard to get to know without us there to coax a relationship with a new person, usually very food based and time consuming.? Somehow, Sierra managed to get our antisocial old man to come and greet her beyond the food bowl run, who is usually worse for the wear when someone else is caring for him!? She cared for a few plants and they looked better than I when I had left, and the kitties...most importantly, seemed quite content on our arrival despite only having every other day visits! We looked forward to staying up and looking at all the cute updates she gave us on their wellbeing? We really appreciated the fact that she wouldn't charge us more for having 2 cats, as they are very easy to care for. Most Rover sitters do this and it just seems unnecessary with cats, although we were fine with paying whatever needed to make sure they were happy. Bird feeder was empty coming home but we even had a hard time keeping up with refill due to the fires at the time, wildlife was pretty hungry, and I suspect they just emptied it before we came!? She cared for plants, outside birds for cat TV, and our cats for one flat rate! Even being concerned we may be stuck longer in FL due to Hurricane Ian's arrival, we were never less worried about the care of our babies on a trip! They were happy, loved on, and needs were met...which is sad to say but sometimes isn't the case having a friend/family member and even a Rover sitter in MI who had cared for them in our stead. (<-she did fine but no connection was made with our babies and only bare basics were handled) This is the first vacation that my husband and I truly felt that we could relax and know our little family back home was doing well, and were able to enjoy the little bit of fleeting time spent with family for the year.? We're new to the area, so finding a sitter who makes it possible and relaxing to go away for even a few days is the biggest godsend? We will definitely be booking her each and every time we have to leave our two fur babies at home.? Thank you for a relaxing time away, Sierra!!”

She went above and beyond to ensure our cats were taken care of and followed instructions to a T. We will absolutely be rebooking Eve I could not recommend her enough, she truly took great care of our babies!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I always make sure they get attention, love, and proper care. I’m available Friday evenings after 6 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. During those times, I can give your pets my full attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals for as long as I could remember. Dogs being the most common to clean up after, feed, walk and everything in between. It’s not just my animals I watch but family and friends come to me when they want someone who loves watching their babies. Also reptiles, birds, and fish. I’m currently a college student going to UNLV from Monday- Thursday at all various times. But when I’m not at school I’m always happy to watch your fur babies! I care for all pets differently depending on what each one needs. I’ve experience in giving medication on time and treat each dog as if they were my own. My home has a nice backyard to play no dogs currently but each dog has my full love and attention.

“Skye was wonderful! She responded quickly and was easy to work with. She was very responsive and provided great report cards and photos! She was on time and my dogs loved having her. She also did a few additional things for us without hesitation. Definitely will work with Skye again!”

“Brianna is awesome. Went above and beyond. She made sure my dog was always fed and happy when she was there and took her on walks. Had a leak in water heater and let me know right away, and shut off the valves that plumber told us to shut off. I would highly recommend Brianna to care for anyone's pets. She keeps you updated daily and is very responsible and professional.”

We strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel safe and comfortable. We also provide regular photo updates and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Elizabeth has to be the best sitter - ever! She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us informed with pictures taken at each visit. The kitchen was left neat and clean. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned after a four-day absence. She even brought in the trash cans after pickup! Rover is a great support service for the whole process. Too bad we only get 5 Stars - It should be 10!”

“I couldn't have been happier with the service provided by Alexius. She really came through for me when my neighbor canceled last minute. She was very professional and a pleasure to meet. Lula also loved her which is the most important. She is also a Vet tech so you know she's passionate about animals and knows the signs and symptoms if your pet happens to be under the weather while you're gone. Don't think twice about booking her, if she can watch your pet you'll be very pleased and so will your pet!”
