Dog Sitting Reno

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for over 15 years, specifically caring for dogs and cats. Until now, this has been for friends, family and through word of mouth. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, puppies, senior pets, special diets, exercise routines and the everyday little things that come with keeping a household running while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic house sitting tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out trash and keeping things tidy. I genuinely enjoy animals and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets and home seriously. Before sitting, I prefer to have all animal specific needs, emergency contacts, primary vet information and the location of the closest 24 hour vet. I have a friendly, energetic 2.5 year old Golden Retriever who may accompany me during house sits, depending on your pet’s temperament and your preference. She loves dogs of all sizes and is great with kids. I’ll always check with you first and make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. I truly adore animals and will give your pet(s) the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Communication is also important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates however you prefer - whether that’s texts, calls, pictures or videos. I can check in frequently or give you plenty of space, whatever makes you most comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available for walks, drop in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays, weekends and holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different schedules and care needs with advance notice. I’ll keep your pets as close to their normal routine as possible. A typical day will include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks and plenty of attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I’m also happy to follow specific exercise routines, feeding instructions, medications or other care instructions. For overnight house sits, I’ll spend the night in your home and treat it respectfully as my own. I’m happy to handle basic household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out trash and keeping things tidy. I’m comfortable spending time with your pets throughout the day while also giving them space when they want it. I’m happy to provide updates by text, call, pictures or videos at whatever frequency you prefer. I have a friendly, energetic 2.5 year old Golden Retriever who may accompany me on some house sits. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand and only bring her when it’s a good fit for your pets and your preferences.

“Laura is the best! She has already done multiple walks and check ins with our dog but recently we got a kitten and she checked in on him while we were on an extended vacation. She is dependable, responsible and truly cares about Pickle’s well-being. She even offered to buy him more food when he ran out sooner than expected. She leaves the best rover card updates and seeing the pictures of him at play was very comforting being so far away. She even gave insight into his behavior which was so valuable as this is my first cat! We will absolutely book Laura again!!”

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!

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have always loved animals. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends who have relied on me to feed and take out their pets. I also worked at a dog daycare/boarding recently for a summer. I love animals and want to give them to best experience while their owners are gone! I am in school and would love to help pets get some time on walks or outside during my mid day downtime! I want to make sure I keep a routine for animals while their owners are gone. I take pride in providing the best care and following all care instructions. I have a puppy who my family and I have been training. Even though this doesn’t apply to the service I offer, He is easily crated and goes on walks well.

“Janet accepted this job of checking in on my son’s cats while he was in the hospital and we have been so grateful to her! Her communication and willingness to accommodate us was fantastic. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet, consider Janet! She sent photos from every visit and even helped get more food and litter when we ran out. I live across the country and she was a Godsend!!!”

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: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

“I appreciated Sydney's attention to my instructions, her flexibility around me changing the plan some, and her ease & confidence with handling pilling my kitty. She left my home just as I found it, and my kitty was well fed and content upon my return, despite my absence. I'm so grateful for pet sitters like Sydney and definitely recommend her services!”

About: I’ve lived in Reno my entire life and believe in community. I’m happy to help families with their pets as if they were my own. I work part time with a lot of flexibility in my schedule.
