About: All my life, people have been amazed at the way animals gravitate to me. For whatever reason, just about every animal I have met falls in love with me. I personally think it's because they can tell how much I love them! I've been an animal lover all my life. Growing up, there were a lot of different animals in the house, but the one constant was DOGS! Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've spent time studying dog behavior, psychology, and training through books and hands-on experience, and I'm always learning more. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a mellow senior, or anything in between, I'm confident in meeting their needs with patience and care. If you're looking for someone who loves your fur babies as much as you, then look no further! I’m currently studying Graphic Design at TMCC, which gives me plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets in between classes and afterwards. Taking care of animals is incredibly rewarding and provides a much-needed break from studying. Your fur babies will get lots of love, attention, and fun when I'm around! I’m very detail-oriented and always make sure to follow your instructions to the T, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or any special routines. I'm patient, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable while you're away, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you in the loop and put your mind at ease. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority!

“Lenore has been so great with our pup! She is reliable/always on time and is super loving with Ella. We feel comfortable and grateful that she is able to help us with walks, and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pets!”



“We absolutely LOVE having Cyndi and Karsynn take care of our dogs! Both of our dogs liked them from day 1:) Cyndi and Karsynn are so kind, trustworthy and all around AWESOME. They always leave us pictures and detailed reports of their visits. One of our dogs is 14years old with multiple chronic health issues, and Cyndi and Karsynn are great at meeting all of her needs as well. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for anyone to take care of your fur babies.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and started taking care of them on my own when I was 13. Since then, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and even administering medication. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, whether they need playful energy or gentle care. I’ve also cared for puppies, senior pets, and anxious animals with patience and love. I can promise your pets will be safe and well cared for in my hands I’m a student at UNR with a fully open schedule during the week, which makes pet care a perfect fit for me! I’m mainly available for daytime visits, drop-ins, and dog walking, and I’m happy to work with both consistent and last minute bookings. Whether your pet needs regular care or a quick visit while you’re away, I’ve got the time and flexibility to help. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel the most safe and comfortable. I’m more than happy to send regular check updates, photos, or even a video call so you can say “Hi” while you’re away. If there’s any specific requests you have that would make you feel confident your pet was being taken care of then feel free to ask. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy.

About: I have owned dogs most of my life and rescued my current pup almost 2 years ago. I love helping care for dogs and am comfortable caring for dogs both well behaved and those learning manners and confidence. I have taken many training classes with my own dog and will use that experience to help train your pup as requested. I am comfortable with reactive dogs and know how to confidently handle reactions and read body language. I work 2 days a week out of town and am home with my pup the rest of the week. I will have plenty of time to care for your dogs with lots of walks, cuttles and play time/training. I will be able to accommodate most schedules on my available days and will adjust based on your dogs normal or desired schedules. I have a fenced front yard and a fenced back yard so plenty of space for the pups. I can even keep my dog and yours separate if needed. Dogs have full access to the house and there is a doggy door to the backyard so they can roam as desired.

“My sweet golden LOVES Caelan. She goes above & beyond to care for my pup & always shares photos of her daily walks with me. Will most definitely keep rebooking with her in the future. 🤍”


About: I grew up having dogs around the house. I’ve had dogs as big as Great Danes, and as small as Shih-Tzus. I love all dogs who are friendly and just wanna play and be loved. I’m happy to play outside with your dog, feed it, take it on walks or jogs, or just give it nice pats on the head. :) I’m available for care during the week and weekends. Ideally I’d like to establish a relationship with at least a few dogs and see them regularly to hang out and socialize. I also have a cute 3 year old labradoodle named Ginger. :) I’m working from home and have some flexibility in my day for pet care. I love taking breaks to get outside and play with furry friends. I care for pets in my client’s home by following all instructions laid out by the pet owner. I also have good judgement and can make decisions for the pet that will best suit their needs and their owner’s wishes.

“She took good care of my Callie girl while I was out snowboarding. Took her on a walk and sent cute photos and videos. She was very communicative. I'll definitely use Mariana again when I need a Callie walk!”


About: I love my dog and everyone else's! I dog and house sit for all my family and friends gladly. Im passionate and kind with all animals. I am retired so my schedule is wide open. If you need flexibility, that is me! I can work in Tahoe or Reno if needed. I am always home with my dog and dogs I sit. I do run the occasional errand but otherwise I am around and attentive. I love 2+ hour walks

About: I have raised four dogs over the past 16 years. I have/had the following breeds: pitbull, shiba inu, two Akitas. Love to take them on long walks. Pretty flexible as long as I have advance notifications. Weekends are pretty free if I am not traveling out of the area or have an event planned. I love all my dogs. Sometimes I treat them better than my human friends. :-) I would treat your dogs the same or even better.

“Nikoleta was wonderful about walking Coco and responded immediately. It was a last minute booking and she came by to introduce herself and meet Coco before the walk the next day. She knew about all the good pathsin my community and gave her an excellent workout. I loved the photo shots she sent! Thank you Nikoleta!”


About: I have years of experience with large breed dogs, and now a standard poodle puppy of my own! My long haired chihuahua recently passed away at 15, so I have plenty of experience with small dogs. I love dogs, truly, and even the parts that aren’t great like my when my super senior chihuahua was still alive and needed extra care that comes with old age or cleaning up puppy messes. I’m experienced in dog medical issues, pill times, vet visits, surgeries, heart problems, and even the dog Heimlich maneuver. I work full time from 0600-2:30 pm usually, with weekends free. I’m available before work if you live close to me or my job by the RNO airport and I’m free after 4 pm. I have some flexibility the closer to me or my workplace you are! I do not have a yard at my apartment but there is a dog park on-site! Multiple walks a day, including my lunch for puppy time, if crating is needed please bring the crate with the dog as my chihuahua does not get crated and my puppy only crates at night. I do allow dogs on furniture, and if a large puppy or small dog breed of chihuahua makes you or your dog nervous for home stays, I am willing to do a meet-and-greet first. Once you meet my chihuahua his well-trained and gentle manner will speak for itself. My puppy is a sweetheart who is eager to please! I currently work full time Monday to Friday in an office environment. I’m home most weekends and spend my lunch with my puppy. I’m usually done with work around 3-4 pm I always ask if there is a yard and if it’s fenced. I like to know where leashes and bags are for walks too! Toys and treats, especially for kitties, are important!

Andee D.
“I've been working with dogs since I was a teenager, and Andee and I met a few years ago. She immediately struck me as someone with a deep passion for all animals, especially dogs and cats, and even horses! I have never witnessed her meet a dog who didn't love her right away. She has a great energy that really makes animals feel secure. Andee was always asking me questions about dogs, their psychology, their health and wellness, training methods, and more. She is always eager to learn anything I have to teach! There are very few people I would ever entrust my dogs to (as they are working dogs and have some unique quirks!) but leaving them in Andee's care really makes me feel secure in knowing they are getting the very best. She is knowledgeable, respectful of your rules for your dogs, and very trustworthy! You could do no wrong in choosing Andee as your sitter.”
