“Maple is a very shy girl. She’s hesitant around new people (she’s a rescue) however, when she met Mackenzie for the first time she loved her and opened up so easily ! I was grateful they were a good match. Maple also gets scared easily with loud noises. Mackenzie is very patient with Maple when they go on their morning walks. There is construction around my house and people gets nervous and sometimes refuses to walk however Mackenzie is very patient with my Maple and I am very appreciative. She is amazing and I am so grateful I found her to walk Maple 🩷”
“Lenore has been so great with our pup! She is reliable/always on time and is super loving with Ella. We feel comfortable and grateful that she is able to help us with walks, and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pets!”
“Communication with Mk is great! Which is such a nice thing to have while I’m traveling. She’s great with my senior dog and I really appreciate the thorough updates and photos:)”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and started taking care of them on my own when I was 13. Since then, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and even administering medication. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, whether they need playful energy or gentle care. I’ve also cared for puppies, senior pets, and anxious animals with patience and love. I can promise your pets will be safe and well cared for in my hands I’m a student at UNR with a fully open schedule during the week, which makes pet care a perfect fit for me! I’m mainly available for daytime visits, drop-ins, and dog walking, and I’m happy to work with both consistent and last minute bookings. Whether your pet needs regular care or a quick visit while you’re away, I’ve got the time and flexibility to help. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel the most safe and comfortable. I’m more than happy to send regular check updates, photos, or even a video call so you can say “Hi” while you’re away. If there’s any specific requests you have that would make you feel confident your pet was being taken care of then feel free to ask. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy.
About: All my life, people have been amazed at the way animals gravitate to me. For whatever reason, just about every animal I have met falls in love with me. I personally think it's because they can tell how much I love them! I've been an animal lover all my life. Growing up, there were a lot of different animals in the house, but the one constant was DOGS! Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've spent time studying dog behavior, psychology, and training through books and hands-on experience, and I'm always learning more. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a mellow senior, or anything in between, I'm confident in meeting their needs with patience and care. If you're looking for someone who loves your fur babies as much as you, then look no further! I’m currently studying Graphic Design at TMCC, which gives me plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets in between classes and afterwards. Taking care of animals is incredibly rewarding and provides a much-needed break from studying. Your fur babies will get lots of love, attention, and fun when I'm around! I’m very detail-oriented and always make sure to follow your instructions to the T, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or any special routines. I'm patient, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable while you're away, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you in the loop and put your mind at ease. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority!

“Rainey is the sweetest most attentive young lady. Very professional and great at communicating. I signed up for reoccurring walking sessions and couldn’t be happier! And most importantly my girl Bebe loves her new friend/walking buddy 🥰🐾”
“So stoked on Adrienne! She was even willing to help us out on the afternoon of the Fourth of July! Super great with communication! Thank you so very much!”
“I have a pretty anxious rescue dog who's shy around strangers and Claire did such a great job walking him! She was very friendly and so patient with him. She took time to make him feel comfortable with her and would try new things to get him to continue to walk when he got anxious (pets, treats, etc.) Highly recommend Claire!”
“Jonathon helped me out last minute after I rolled my ankle and couldn't walk my puppy. He was very patient with her shyness and took great care of her! I wouldn't hesitate to book him again if I need dog walking services.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 8 and I absolutely enjoy the commitment! I’ve looked after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and goats. Many of my neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I don’t see it as a chore, but rather an outlet for responsibility and comfort! I am off of school right now, I am available to take care of and check on your animals anytime. My weekdays and weekends are equally free, so any days work! I will be extremely attentive to your animals and the places they spend the most time, such as outside or where they eat. I’ll make sure to be familiar with your home and my surroundings so that everyone is comfortable!
About: I currently have three dogs of my own and have been around dogs my entire life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to caring for animals with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether it’s senior care, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets enough play and affection, I’m reliable and ready to help. I am currently between jobs. As such, I am off all of July and half of August off so I’m 100% available for all your pet care needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime, so they feel secure and cared for. In a client’s home, I always respect the space and keep things tidy while making sure their pet feels relaxed and loved. In my own home, pets get plenty of attention, supervised play, and cozy spots to rest. I check in regularly with updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Sydney was an excellent pet sitter. She was very professional, organized and communicative throughout the 5 days she watched and walked my dog and cat. Sydney sent me information and pictures for each dog walk, keeping me up to date on my dog's sore paw and really gave me peace of mind knowing that a very caring responsible person was coming over twice a day to attend to my pets needs. I have been very impressed with Sydney and recommend her highly.”
“We have been having Jen walk our 2 doodle pups for just over a month now and we could not be happier! The doggos just ❤️ their walks with her; and I could not ask for better flexibility or communication! So happy to have found her. She is the BEST!”
“My sweet golden LOVES Caelan. She goes above & beyond to care for my pup & always shares photos of her daily walks with me. Will most definitely keep rebooking with her in the future. 🤍”
“Great communication”
About: I've taken care of pets (my own, neighbors', friends', and family pets) for over 15 years combined. Friends often tell me that I am deeply sweet and caring when it comes to taking care of animals, and as a bonus, I'm working on increasing the number of steps that I take per day, so taking your dog for a walk would help me reach my step goal! I had a job throughout the pandemic caring for 14 horses (and two barn cats) on a therapeutic riding ranch because I love animals so much. I am on Rover for two reasons: to earn money for college, and because I've been hanging out with as many pets as I can ever since my childhood dog passed away about a year ago. I would LOVE to cat sit for you as well since I have always loved and taken care of cats since my dad was allergic to them and I couldn't have one of my own growing up. Friends that I cat sit for often tell me how appreciative they are about how much I love their cats! I'm currently a marriage and family therapy master's program student with in-person clients daily (at UNR and in south Reno) throughout the week, and other than that I work a remote part-time job that I can easily do from your house/apartment if there is WiFi there or nearby. This might sound like it would be an obvious need for a pet sitter, but I have been told by many people in my life that I am both a fast learner and good with directions. I will be able to cater to your furry friend's specific needs easily. I also have a roomy SUV that, should worst come to worst, could transport pets easily to the nearest vet.
About: I have owned animals my whole life and pet sat for other people's pets since I was a kid. I love any and all animals, and treat all animals as if they were my own. My pets are family to me, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with the care of your family member. I think each pet has a unique personality, and I love getting to know each and every one. My pets are personally lonely when left alone, so I take that into consideration and try to make the transition of pets' owners being away as smoothly as I can. I'm careful to follow specific instructions, and go above and beyond the minimum to help your pets have a good experience.
About: Worked with animals my entire life, volunteered at animal shelters as a teen and genuinely love being around dogs and cats. Message me anytime day or night if you need help. Willing to work any hours that are need day or night, whenever I'm available. Feel free to call, text, or email me for schedules. Overnight included. I care for my animals the same I would for anyone else's. Willing to care for anyone's place as it was my own as well.

Rainey was a wonderful dog walker for our boy. She is kind, caring and took special care of him. Highly recommend.
Analysa has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Pickles! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Pickles took to her right away, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands while I was working swing shifts. She showed up right on time, sent great updates, and even went the extra mile to make sure he got a good walk and some love. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker—highly recommend Analysa!
Kailey was super awesome with Harper. Had a meet up With us and our dog. The day of our service, super awesome at communicating and great photos. Definitely will be reaching out in the future.
Nico has been great with my dog—she always comes back happy and tired from walks or the dog park! He's super friendly, reliable, and it's clear he really enjoys spending time with dogs and takes great care of them. I really appreciate the care he gives her. Highly recommend!
Connor is amazing with dogs. He has a natural aura to bond with such a calm mannerism. He also went above and beyond to pick up a destroyed bed so I didn’t have to do it after a 12 hour shift at the hospital. He looks at the big picture in a home and helps out with other dogs as needed without a second thought.
Our dogs had an instant like you to Kaylee. She a good dog sense and the experience to deal with a 2 & 1yr old. We are fortunate to have found her thru Rover
James took our dog Margo out for a nice hour-long run. He was very good with her and unphased by her high energy. She returned home a happy pup and we’d gladly hire him again.

Excellent dog walker with great communication! I’m super grateful I found Jack at the last minute to take care of my pups!!!
