Dog Walking Northwest

“I’m using crutches at the moment and needed someone to walk my dog. This was my first time using Rover; it’s been a great experience. Cat replied to my request quickly and on short notice, which I appreciated. My rescue dog, a terrier mix, is not around other people very often, but he took to Cat immediately and returned happy each of the three days that she walked him. It’s all gone so well that I have another week of walks scheduled with Cat.”

“Cyndi (and really her entire family) have been awesome with my two little pups. I got them as rescues so they definitely have separation anxiety when I leave the house for long periods. But I can always easily tell when Cyndi has been by, as they are noticeably calmer and happier when I come home. Highly recommended!”

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

“It’s been a pleasure having Ryan take my dogs out daily. He is punctual, conscientious and communicative. My dogs took to him right away. If you’re looking for a dependable guy who’s good with dogs, Ryan is the man!”

“Aaron is here every day walking my Lab while I can't. He's been extremely dependable and with my current limitations that means a lot. And Lucian can't wait to go walkies.”

About: Hello, I'm Devin! I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, having lived with 5 dogs and 3 cats as well as other animals throughout my life. This has given me a strong understanding of their different needs, behaviors, and personalities. I've also lived with a puppy and understand how hard at times it can be to deal with them, but I also understand how fun and worth it, it is. I've also volunteered at SPCA for a summer camp where I learned how to take care of dogs and cats and be around more animals! Although pets are very important to me I must prioritize my classes, which end at the latest 2:30 pm, but after I can push aside anything else to make any cat or dog happy. I love to make a dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I will happily play with any pet and go for walks until that dog or cat is tired, or I can just chill on the couch and relax because I know every animal, just like a human, needs some chill time too.

About: Hello! Thanks for looking over my profile. My name is Maddy, I am a nurse / MSN Student who loves animals! I have been around animals my whole life and I am lucky to call Coco my crazy 6 year old pit mix pup my best friend + Topo our new 1.5 year old puppy :). I am an avid outdoor enthusiast. I spend all of my free time rock climbing and hiking around. I love to spend time on walks with the dogs, or just backyard hangs! I have experience with dogs as young as 12 weeks and as old as 16 years. I have been lucky lately to spend some time with some sweet kitties too. I have worked with kittens as young as 12 weeks to senior cats as old as 15. If you have an special requests I am more than happy to accommodate whatever it is that your furry friend may need. I am available 24/7 to help out your pet(s) in the Verdi / NW Reno area. My schedule can be fairly flexible if it does need to be to accommodate your furry friend! I am happy to get up early or stop by later in the day - anything that works with your schedule! I would be sure to take your pup for a walk or run around your neighborhood, the dog park if that’s their thing, whatever you are comfortable with I am happy to do. For cats I would love to do drop in visits or even take them for a walk if they are comfortable on leash. I will send lots of photos / videos to update you on our day!

“I highly recommend Diane for dog walking! She was fantastic with Ziggy, and he had an amazing time on both walks. It was wonderful to see how much he enjoyed exploring the neighborhood with her, even though they had just met. We did have a minor hiccup when Ziggy got a little too excited and ran off while she was putting on his leash, but Diane handled it incredibly well. She quickly found him and calmed him down before putting on the leash. After their adventures, Ziggy was all tuckered out! Her patience and skill truly impressed me, and I would definitely book her again!”

About: I've loved dogs for my entire life and was fortunate enough to get one of my one when I was 13. I love taking care of my dog and spending time with her. I enjoy spending time with other peoples dogs just as much. I am currently in college at UNR and would love to make some extra money doing somethingi enjoy. I am currently working three days a week (mon - wed) and am fully available all other days of the week. I don't currently live with a puppy of my own so I would love to spend more of my time around dogs. I spent over five years being one of the main care takers of my first dog. As a yellow lab she is very energetic and loves walks and playing fetch but also likes to sleep and lounge around. So I have experience with different personalities and energy levels.

“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 have owned dogs all of my life and have cared for and taught them all the basic pet commands. I have also worked at a doggy daycare for multiple months and have been a pet parent favorite Canine Coach I’m currently a college student that has class Monday through Friday mostly in the morning with evening classes on Friday. I am available all weekends for home/pet sitting. I am able to do overnight stays on weekends as long as I can go to class in the morning. In my own home I have a Dalmatian where I take him out hourly with 2 walks and if my schedule permits a car ride to the dog park. I always check my dogs water bowls and feed him two times a day with proper spacing of eating and exercise to ensure no bloating or stomach issues. I have also taught him to use the correct restroom spot in the backyard

About: I'm an active person who can keep up with your active pup! My experience caring for pets began at a young age when I volunteered for a local dog rescue and fostered dogs with my family. Today, I proudly provide services including dog walking, housesitting, exercise, enrichment, & basic daily care for dogs and cats. I would be thrilled to provide care for your dog or cat too! I work from home online on a flexible basis, so I can typically be available most times of day. I am available for walks and drop-in visits with your pet while you are at work. For housesitting, I'm available to stay at your house to work (Wi-Fi permitting!) so that I can provide mid-day potty breaks and attention for your pet. Dog walking: I like to encourage polite walking behaviors through positive reinforcement (praise, treats!) - this will create a safe and fun walk for both of us. Please just let me know if your dog shouldn't have treats or requires a certain type of treats. I'm always willing to adjust activities based on your dog's abilities and weather. For example, if the weather turns too hot or cold for your pup, I can swap out a lengthy walk for a shorter one plus enrichment games in the shade or some indoor playtime. **NEW! Dog jogging: Do you have a high-energy dog who needs more than a regular walk? I may be able to offer dog jogging for some dogs, as an add-on for a small additional fee. Book a walk with me and I can evaluate if your dog is a good fit. Drop-in visits and house-sitting: Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I have excellent attention to detail and follow all instructions to ensure a safe and fun environment for your pet. I'm happy to accommodate specific needs for your pet/home - just ask.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs, pretty much my whole life, and have experience with all sorts of dogs. From golden retrievers to dobermans, pit bulls, chihuahuas, and German shepherds, I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and dogs and am able to handle and care for all of them in the ways they need. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed a Fear Free Certification. I have trained all of the dogs I have taken care of and am very dedicated to making sure that they are well taken care of. When they are your best friend, they deserve the best. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of love and care, and will be played with, and walked around to give them the socialization and exercise they need and want. I currently work full time, but have weekends off, and can sometimes do evenings, and love to spend my free time with pets. I fit pet care into my weekly routine by caring for a german shepherd weekly. I provide care for the pets by taking them on walks, and following any other normal care that the pet would typically require. I have 2 five year old german shepherds, as well as a 13 year old cat, so I am well equipped in dealing with multiple pets as well.
