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.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!

“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: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have been the proud owner of five wonderful dogs throughout my life, all of whom lived long, happy lives into old age. I am comfortable administering oral medications and following any special care instructions, including dietary needs, exercise routines, and senior pet care. I always listen carefully to each owner’s preferences to ensure their pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy walking and staying active, so your dog will receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while in my care. I am available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. I can accommodate early morning, daytime, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

“Cyndi and her daughter Carson helped me out when I needed a walker for my dog Ollie for the week at the last minute. They were communicative and reliable. I will definitely be contacting them next time I need a dog walker for Ollie and highly recommend them to others.”

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.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was little!! I had dogs growing up, and have lived with cats since college. I dogsit across my work, and I want to take the opportunity I have with my current work schedule to help owners across the community. I'm good with senior care, as well as deaf and blind dogs, and I work great with puppies and training! I work a part time flexible job, so I have plenty of time to come see your pets, whether mornings, afternoons, or weekends! I'm even available on the fly most of the time! I love to hang out with animals and devote my full attention to them! Whether it be a walk, playing, or just a cuddle on the couch, I love bonding with the animal I'm working with and making them as happy as I can. I'm detail oriented, and will make sure to follow all important rules to a T.

About: I have had at least 1 dog all my life. I am comfortable with any size and age, I am able to walk dogs in their familiar neighborhoods or on nearby trails. I have also had experience with a variety of breeds. I’m home from college for the summer and have a completely open schedule. I can come anytime and any day to check up on or stay with animals. I’m very thorough with pet care, I double check everything I am supposed to do, and try my best to make sure animals are comfortable around me.

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.

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.

“Diane is an exceptional dog walker who always goes above and beyond for my dog, Ziggy. She’s walked him multiple times, and her dedication and care truly stand out. Diane takes extra time to ensure Ziggy relieves himself and does an excellent job tiring him out before bringing him home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about his well-being, and her attention to detail gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable dog walker!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13 and now i’m 21! Spending time with animals is so fun for me:) I am home in Reno for the summer and looking to spend time with your pets! I’m free the whole summer besides a few trips but I would love to spend some time with your pets! I go back to school in late September, so as of right now this is a summer job for me:) I have 2 dogs of my own that will keep your pet company if needed. My house has a fenced in dog run specifically for going to the bathroom and a very calm neighborhood for walks! I have also been dog sitting for other families for a majority of my life.

“Mariana was great! Dependable and and very good with our dogs. She was willing to walk all 3 of our dogs and came for a met and great ahead of time. She was so helpful to us and we will definitely be using her again!”

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 grew up my whole life with dogs. Nothing is better then receiving their love when you walk through the door. My home even has it's own dog bathroom, dog run & house which is heated and cooled. I'm a volunteer at Nevada Humane Society. Dogs are the best!!! I'm retired but would like to get outdoors more and nothing better then walking/running a furry buddy next to me. I do have a few PRIVATE customers before I became a Rover emp. So I do try and keep my calendar up to date. I have a fenced yard, dog wash bathroom in my home which leads to a dog run and dog house heated and cooled. I have a nice big backyard that can get your dog tired out!
