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!!

Cindy went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She played with him and brushed him every day and sent us photos and checked in. We will definitely have her take care of our cat in the future.

Chase was punctual, professional, and my Bobby absolutely fell in love. Bobby got in his potty breaks, a couple of walks, and lots of snuggles. I would definitely utilize Chase again and we look forward to our next drop-in visits!

Khine was friendly, enthusiastic, and enjoyed playing with the cats. I really appreciated that she was punctual and completed the primary tasks of feeding. She was even able to successfully feed my senior cat who needed to be separated in the bedroom for medications and can be quite grumpy.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.

This is the second time Sherina has taken care of my cat and garden, and her care and consideration is outstanding; both times, she has gone above and beyond the job description. I forgot it was trash day the day before I was coming home, and she noticed the neighbors had their cans outside. My recycling was completely full, and she was kind enough to take it out. This attention to detail extended to her care for my cat, who immediately recognized her as his new best friend. Sherina’s love for animals is evident beyond the pets entrusted in her care; my cat is a remorseless hunter, and she rescued a baby bunny from the backyard before the cat could catch it. The cat quickly forgave her with the distraction of his favorite treats. Sherina also has a green thumb; she kept my garden thriving during a heat wave, and sent me updates on the blooming flowers in addition to adorable cat in action pictures. She also noticed the nozzle attachment to my automatic drip system had a crack and was leaking. I ordered the replacement, and Sherina offered to switch out the broken one for the new one. I felt like it was a lot to ask since I hadn’t included horticultural engineering in the contract, but she said she would be happy to fix it. When I returned, the drip system was better than ever- no leak, low water bill, no wasted water and happy flowers. What’s more, Sherina was able to watch the house an extra day on short notice when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. If I could give her ten stars, I would! You can be assured that your pet and home will be in loving and competent hands when you’re out of town. Thank you, Sherina, Kepa will be happy to see you again soon!

About: With two and half years experience working as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital, I offer a unique blend of professional and heartfelt care for your loved pets. I have pet sat in the owners home for many older animals that needed medicine, either orally or subcutaneously (under the skin), as well as with doggie diapers, and intrigant food preferences. I also have lots of experience in providing energetic exercise for puppies and active dogs. I am committed to providing compassionate and reliable care tailored to your fur babies individual needs. I work full-time, generally between 10 am and 7 pm, with some occasional variations. However, I prioritize pet care and have an hour-long lunch break, which I have often used for visits. Let's talk about your pets' routine and how we can fit in a midday check-in. I'm dedicated to finding a solution that works for everyone. I understand that pets can experience stress when their routine is disrupted, which is why I have only pet sat in the owners home. I aim to maintain a consistent schedule and provide lots of reassurance, and treats (if allowed). I treat any property with the same care and respect I would give my own. In regarding feeding, medication, and any specific safety measures provided by you, I will do it to the letter.

Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of providing reliable, loving pet care for over 15 years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. From daily walks and feeding routines to overnight stays and special care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. My long-term clients appreciate my dependability, communication, and the calm, caring environment I provide for their furry family members. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays vary, but generally after 2pm I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass, one very friendly dog to keep yours company, and two dog kennels to crate if needed.

About: Ever since I was 12 I have been caring for my neighbors dogs and my own pets. Currently I work at a doggy daycare where I supervise over 25+ dogs at a time. I also provide grooming services, enrichment, and administering medication. I have a big passion for animals and would love to watch over yours! I currently work part time 6-8hrs a day, but when I’m off I have plenty of time to pet sit or care for your animal! When pet sitting at your house, I will always make sure the pet is comfortable with me and sharing their space. I am great at recognizing body behavior and will make sure your pet is safe!

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by all types of animals and have been responsible for their care. I have grown up with dogs, birds, reptiles, and many fish. I want to say I’m very experienced with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, but more specifically dogs of any age. Every animal means the whole world to me and I can guarantee to treat your pets like my own! I’m currently a student at the University Of Nevada Reno and TMCC but I have plenty of time to take care of your fur-babies and whatever needs they may need! I will ensure proper care from the directions given by the owner. I have had experience with puppies, to elderly dogs, so any specific care instruction will not be an issue for me.

About: I care for them like family! I have experience with everything from puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who deserve extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I pay attention to the little things that keep animals happy whether that’s extra cuddle time, slow walks for older dogs, or enrichment games for energetic pups and curious cats. I’m reliable, communicative, and always send updates because i can’t help but take a million photos I have a super flexible work schedule so conflicts should never happen! I am able to chose my schedule most of the time but i can be very efficient with communicating schedules In my home, my pet basically becomes my roommate (the kind that gets all the treats and never has to do chores). They’ll get cuddles, playtime, walks, and naps. I keep their routine on track! In your home, I’m the stand-in human your pet didn’t know they needed. I make sure their meals, walks, and playtime happen on schedule, and of course plenty of pets. I leave your place just as tidy as I found it, maybe with a few extra paw-prints of happiness. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free no matter where you are.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with breeds both big and small! I have experience with older dogs who need diaper changes and medications, as well as energetic puppies and kittens! Currently have two kittens of my own💓 I currently work M-F and am flexible throughout the week and on weekends for visits! With my schedule, I’m available in morning, afternoons, and evenings. Evenings and weekends are great for longer visits! I understand that not all pets warm up quickly to people in their home, so I offer a calm presence that is ready to feed, play, or just keep them company while their people are away!

Wendy did a great job with my cat. She even looked after the plants 🙂. I was a little nervous leaving him alone since we always had other pets, but he did well with her and this is the 2nd year in a row i hired her and will be glad to do so again.

Carson saved the day! Our booking was last minute, due to unforeseen circumstances, while we were out of town and Carson stepped up and helped us out beautifully! Thor adored her and she took extra care to send pics and let us know how he was doing which gave us peace of mind until we returned. We look forward to hopefully having Carson spend more time with Thor.

Sidney was excellent. She asked very intelligent questions about the meds for it senior cat, the kennel setup, water etc. she was very responsive to our questions before starting, and the cats were back to their usual hijinks with in minutes of us returning home. It was clearly much less stress on our senior cat. A better overall experience than the boarding house we've previously used. I would highly recommend Sidney and will be booking her again for our next trip in a few months.
