Pet Sitting Old Northwest-West University

About: Apart from my own mini aussie, Hobbs, I have cared for friends and families pets ranging from puppies to equine. My own dog is going on 13 this year meaning I am no stranger to administering medication or following special care instructions. I also have my own flock of chickens (2 years old) that I’ve raised from a day old. I’ve had to treat them medically numerous times making avian care well known to me. In addition, I’ve grown up around and involved in care for horses and other livestock (goats, sheep). I’m currently going to school at UNR but classes are over at 3pm! Late afternoons and nights work great. The weekends I can accommodate virtually any time and overnights. I am working a part time job, so my fluctuating schedule will be reflected in my availability. While I don’t currently offer services in my own home, I have my own vehicle large enough for big puppies in case of emergency! Otherwise I will abide by any and all house rules and instructions :)

“Khine was such an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of all my kitties. They are usually shy but befriended her very quickly! Khine kept me updated and sent me lots of photos which I really appreciate. She was also very caring of my home! I highly recommend her and will be requesting her again!”

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 grew up learning how to train and manage dogs in the home, I’ve cared for animals my whole life and trained multiple dogs. I currently care for many pets in my own home including reptiles, invertebrates, fish, and a dog. I also love caring for plants. I am a very respectful and non judgement person. I wake up usually around 10 am but am comfortable waking up earlier if needed. I have my own dog and usually walk her when I wake up, again mid day, and once again before I leave for my optional night job. I also have tank lights and water dishes I check morning and night. I could do stop in care during Friday-Sunday and more full time care Monday-Thursday. If your pet loves to play I am more than happy to keep them entertained, I also have a medium dog compression sweater that I can supply if you have a dog that has anxiety. I understand most pet body language and can know when your pet needs comfort, play, potty, or space.

“Catherine was awesome! She went above and beyond for my elderly cat with high medical needs and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable having her look after my cat”

“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.”

About: My JRT and I were a Certified Pet Therapy Team until his death, at age 17, in March 2025. I want to give and receive doggie energy and love until I am ready for a new full time companion. I am a retired professional working as a yoga instructor and End of Life Doula. I am experienced and comfortable with adult, senior, ill, and end of life doggy woggies. My schedule varies from week to week. On the weekends, I might take your dog to the mountains for outdoor adventure (or inside rest). Let me know your needs and I will try to make it work into my schedule. I prefer drop-ins, walks, or sleep-overs at our house. I have a doggie door for small dogs and a fully fenced back yard. I have a backpack and snuggly for those who like to be close. We are open to couch and bed surfing.

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.

“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.”

“Martha did an incredible job with my dog Radar! She’s caring, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Radar loved spending time with her and came home calm and content. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”

“did a great job with my pets, very friendly and asks lots of questions during the meet and greet. only thing to be aware of if your animal is on a tight schedule is that she was late to the visits.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I grew up with dogs, mostly larger breeds, including my most recent dog who is around 120 pounds. I’ve also had cats my whole life and currently have four, along with experience caring for birds, lizards, and other animals. Most of my pets have been rescues or animals that needed extra patience and care. My dog Delta was very nervous and fearful when we adopted her from the pound, and my dog Boone had been abused and was initially very afraid of men. These experiences taught me how important it is to be patient, respect an animal’s boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. I’m currently in college and away from my own pets, so pet sitting is a great way for me to get my animal fix while giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I’m currently a college student who also works part-time, so my schedule has plenty of flexibility. I’m able to work with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I love having the opportunity to spend my free time with animals, and I’m happy to give your furry family member plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away! I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I know being away from their people can be stressful, so I’ll do my best to make things feel as normal and comfortable as possible. I can follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while also giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for just like I would want my own pets to be.

“She took care of feeding our guinea pigs while we were traveling. She was very kind and sent us photos every day, and we really appreciated it. If we’re ever away again, we would love to ask for her help. Thank you so much, Danika! 😄✨”

“We love Sherina coming to check on our kitties. We have used her multiple times, and also feel at peace when we leave & she is there to check on them.”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 15, starting with my first family dog. During summer and winter breaks, I cared for street dogs in Mexico, which required a lot of patience and taught me how to build trust with animals who don't come with a known history. Malena, the dog in my profile photo, was one of those street dogs. I took her in at age 5 and cared for her for a decade, until she passed two years ago. She taught me what real, consistent care for senior dog looks like. I bring this kind of attention to every dog walk and visit I take on. I work weekdays but come home at lunch for a potty break and I'm home by 2:45 p.m., so your dog is never alone more than about 4 hours. Great option for overnight boarding and evening walks or visits during the weekdays and more open during the weekend. I'm located in Midtown, just a 5 minute drive from the airport and 3 minutes from the freeway, so drop-off is easy whether you're catching a flight or hitting the road. You'll get daily photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy your trip! I have a fully fenced yard so I love letting dogs run free if it is safe for them to do so. I’m attentive and ensure pups are given enough exercise and space for rest and relaxation on a regular basis.

“Excellent care and communication”

“Very kind and thoughtful, Bob did a great job looking after my cat Angie while I was OOT on a client trip. He always sent photos and did more than was asked. FIVE STARS!!”
