About: Hi, we’re Cody and Emily of Reno-Tahoe Paw Retreat! We’re licensed, insured, and trained in pet first aid and CPR. We follow Washoe County commercial animal welfare permit guidelines, including sanitation programs, a veterinary care program, and a disease control health care program. Your pets are in safe, caring hands with us. Living with our own Australian Shepherd means pet care is already woven into everything we do. Your dog will enjoy a natural mix of scheduled walks and feeding times, plus plenty of spontaneous play sessions, cuddle breaks, and backyard adventures in between. With one of us always nearby, we’re able to respond to whatever your pup needs, whenever they need it! no waiting, no rushing. It’s just part of our normal day. 🐾 When it comes to your dog’s safety and comfort, we’ve got it covered. Our large, fully fenced backyard gives your pup plenty of room to run, explore, and burn off energy, all in a secure environment where you never have to worry about them wandering off. Inside, your dog will have a spacious home to relax in, and with my wife or I here almost around the clock, they’re never left alone or unsupervised. You can rest easy knowing there’s always someone attentive nearby. We’re also proud to have a pet friendly Australian Shepherd of our own, so your dog will have a built in buddy to play with! Our Aussie is well socialized and loves making new friends, making the transition to our home stress free and fun for visiting dogs. From the moment your pup arrives to the moment you’re reunited, their safety, happiness, and comfort are our top priority. 🐾

About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.

“We couldn't have chosen a better Rover sitter for our pup! Shawna sent pictures of our little girl throughout the day and Lexi came home happy and calm from her stay. Looking forward to booking another Rover visit soon! Thank you, Shawna and Steve, for providing a warm and happy place for our little girl Lexi.”

“Young did a great job making me and my dog Finn feel comfortable in new surroundings. Lots of communication throughout the day with photos and videos showing how Finn was doing. Young really cares about his clients and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is comfortable. It was a great experience and we will be using Young again for day care and boarding.”

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable providing extra care, medication, mobility assistance, and lots of love and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently available and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs and can accommodate different schedules and routines. With my years of experience caring for dogs—including senior and disabled dogs—I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing them with the attention and care they need. My own dogs are walked every day and are very loved and spoiled. They are both seniors, so I’m experienced with providing them the extra attention, patience, and care that older dogs need. I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and tended to according to their individual needs. I have a large house with a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve been caring for animals from house sitting to dog walking since my teenage years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Neighbors, family friends, and family have trusted me to provide exceptional care for their furry companions. My deep love for animals led me to volunteer at the UCD Vet Center during high school, where I assisted veterinarians in hands on care. Later, I dedicated time to shelters like the Davis SPCA and the Pacific Palisades SPCA in Los Angeles, working with rescue animals and learning how to nurture even the most vulnerable pets. Over the years, I’ve rescued and rehabilitated numerous animals, many of whom became cherished members of my family. It’s been an incredible journey watching them thrive, whether it’s a senior dog finding comfort or a shy kitten finally coming out of their shell. My approach is rooted in holistic care, recognizing that diet, environment, and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health. I’ve seen firsthand how natural remedies, proper nutrition, and mindful interaction can transform an animal’s quality of life. Whether your pet needs a lively walk, a playful home visit, or overnight care while you’re traveling, I’d love to be their trusted companion. I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s unique personality, whether that means helping calm anxious pups or adjusting activities for a senior dog with mobility challenges. Feel free to ask me anything—I’m happy to share references or discuss how I can best support your pet’s needs. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged family member and giving them the same love and attention I’ve given animals my whole life! I am currently really flexible with days and hours available. I am working from home right now which allows me this flexibility. Open m- f as well as weekends I have a fenced yard and one dog at home that loves and gets along with all animals and is super friendly. I have plenty of space and separate rooms in the house along with a gate I can put up if your fury love wants a little space of their own for play time!

“Glad Coco had a safe, cool place to stay with a furry friend while we were at an Aces game. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had a dog at home for almost 13 years, and I’ve been caring for dogs belonging to other families since I was 15 years old. I’m currently available and can take care of your dog anytime. I can take them for walks, play with them, and make sure they are fed and well cared for. I will make sure to follow all instructions, take great care of your dog, make your life easier, and ensure they are fed and happy.
