Pet Sitting Northwest

About: I've had experience with cats and dogs my entire life, reptiles since I was 15, and birds since I was 16. I have specifically been petsitting others cats and dogs for around 8+ years. While I work full-time Monday-Friday, I am sure that I still have time and energy to give. I would love to spend my extra time on weekends spoiling some pets. I'm used to spending lots of time outside with energetic dogs and wearing them out. I like playing with dogs and cats (assuming your cat likes to play), and spending time with more exotic animals to encourage socialization.

“Catherine was very communicative and easy to work with! She made super Bubba was cared for and sent lots of photos so I was able to feel like I was there! Will be rebooking with her in the future no doubt.”

“Sera was wonderful with our cat Lucy. My husband and I will definitely book with her again. We enjoyed the photos and the updates, keeping us informed about Lucy's wellbeing. Lucy was happy and not stressed. She was very well cared for when we came home. Sera is a very reliable, lovely person.”

“Highly recommend. Cyndi and her daughter are a delight. I was quite anxious about hiring a cat sitter for 11 days, but the moment I met them, they put me at ease. I felt confident that they would take great care of my two cats. They did not disappoint. I would hire them again to catsit.”

About: I'm so happy with my choice to transition to travel nursing, but I miss having dogs in my life! I'm looking to walk furry friends as I get to know the local area and serve your community. My work (and recreation) schedule varies, so I may not be able to commit to a set routine, but I'm happy to jump in and walk your pupper when I can! Please let me know what your rules are for your dog and what kind of behavior I can expect from them. Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they go bonkers for squirrels? Gobble up sidewalk trash like a Rumba? Is every morning walk going to be a 3-pooper? Let me know! :-) For long hikes, I will keep your dog leashed until I know them well and have your permission for them to be off-leash.

About: I’m a first grade teacher of 29 years. I have over 39 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Dependable, patient, loving, and attentive, providing safe, personalized care for every precious pet. I have an open, flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and various times throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine, keeping their environment safe and secure, and providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship.

“Jorge was amazing! He took excellent care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. His communication was fantastic. He was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our dogs and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to happy pups. We could not have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Jorge with our dogs again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with Jorge again!”

About: I have 5+ years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with multiple-pet households, senior pets, and pets with disabilities or special needs, including following medication, feeding, and exercise routines. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide daytime visits throughout the week. I'm happy to work with the pet owner to find times that fit their pet's routine. I am communicative about scheduling or any changes. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible. I carefully follow instructions and pay close attention to each pet's comfort level and behavior and will keep you updated about how they're doing during my visits.

“My cats were well tended - and everything was on time and reassuring that my cats were fine.”

“This was my first time using River pot even having a total stranger watch after my dog, other than boarding him. Mariana stayed in communication with me the whole time and took very good care of my dog. Would definitely use again.”

Andrew J.

“Valerie was absolutely wonderful! She updated us on every visit and went out of her way to make sure our cat Leo was comfortable. Communication was great and Leo was happy with a full tummy when we got home. I would definitely recommend and rebook Valerie!”

About: I love animals (dogs and bunnies especially) and would love to help care for your fur baby while you are away. I have a playful 7 year old border collie of my own who loves to have a friend to play with. I have years of experience caring for dogs and also have experience caring for cats, birds, fish and rabbits. ❤️ I work from home so will be able to be with your pet from the moment they are dropped off! My schedule is flexible and I am available for the coming holiday season. We love to go for walks and frequently visit the dog park! I always keep an eye on the two dogs when we are boarding a dog. I only sit for one animal at a time to keep any anxiety low for both my dog and the pet we are sitting. Your dog will get lots of love and care. My dog loves to play so does well with other high energy friends!

“Devin was awesome. He was available on very short notice (same day) and was also available to extend the drop in visits off short notice as well with no hesitation. He was consistent with notes, concerns and routes daily & took his time to make sure our dog Juno felt comfortable. We were very pleased with Devin and will be sure to book with him again in the future.”

About: I've been the go-to call for dog sitting for all my friends and family for the last 10 years. I've done simple checkups/walks as well as lengthy multi-week stays taking care of as many as 4 dogs at a time. I am a full-time worker, but in a quiet time of business so I have fairly flexible hours. I am an early riser so I am available from 7-9am, I have flexibility at my job for a lengthy lunch around 11-1pm, and I'm available virtually every weekday after 5pm during the week as well. I am also available on weekends for visits and boarding! I live in an apartment with a dog park in a great walking neighborhood, so while I can't keep your dogs in a yard, exercise is not a problem and my apartment is very pet friendly. I'm also very open and accommodating if your pet has any specific needs! In your own home, I am very respectful of your space. I’ll never use anything in your home unless necessary and you allow it, and I always clean up any space that I spend time in.

“Excellent care and communication”

About: We’re lifelong animal lovers with over 25 years of combined pet care experience. Between pet sitting, house sitting, volunteering with Res-Que animal rescue, caring for medical cases, training puppies, and raising our own two dogs, we’ll treat your pets like they’re part of our family. We both work for the Washoe County School District in a self-contained special education classroom. During the school year, we work Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are available before and after work for pet care. We’re off every weekend, all major school breaks, holidays, and throughout the summer, allowing us to offer flexible scheduling and dedicate plenty of quality time, attention, exercise, and love to every pet in our care. Every pet is unique, so we tailor our care to their individual routine and needs. Whether in our home or yours, we’ll follow your feeding schedule, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. 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.

“Rachel is great! She is communicative and when we went on vacation she even sent us photos of our Penny! We will be calling on her again next time we're out of town.”
