Top rated South Reno pet sitters
“Jessica is great! I rebooked her cause my cat seems to like her and Jessica takes really good care of my cat. She is prompt with the updates and she communicates well.”
“Cindy did a fantastic job taking care of our elderly rabbit while we were away! We were incredibly fortunate to find her last-minute, and we knew our house and critter were in excellent hands while we were gone. We came home to a happy bunny! Thank you Cindy!!”
“Elizabeth will definitely be my first call next time I go out of town! She sent cute pictures and helpful updates throughout my trip and I came home to the most content cat. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”
“Mason did a fantastic job caring for my cats! It didn’t take long for my more outgoing cat to go in for snuggles, and even my semi feral came out of hiding- this speaks volumes, as she generally avoids people and does not come out during visits. I needed to find a sitter on short notice, and Mason was very flexible in scheduling last minute and maintained great communication from start to finish. It was a huge relief knowing Bagheera and Dinah would be well cared for in my absence. Thank you for keeping them safe and happy!”
“Skye was wonderful! She responded quickly and was easy to work with. She was very responsive and provided great report cards and photos! She was on time and my dogs loved having her. She also did a few additional things for us without hesitation. Definitely will work with Skye again!”
“Roxanne and her family were incredible cat sitters! They were very attentive, spent a lot of time with and even went above and beyond in caring for our two cats with drop in visits. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Once again, Bridget took great care of our cat while we were gone. I am really enjoying going out of town for a few days and knowing that my cat is visited each day and gets pets and treats. Thank you Bridget!”
“Kelly was prompt in attending to Frankie, who was, I'm sure, absolutely delighted to see and hang out with her for an hour! I also appreciated her willingness to drop by to meet both of us in advance. This certainly took away all my worries about leaving Frankie for an extended period of time.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 17, and over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve done it all. I’m also experienced in giving medication when needed, and I truly love providing comfort, care, and companionship to every furry friend I meet. I work three days a week, which leaves me with plenty of free time to dedicate to pet sitting. It fits perfectly into my routine, and I love having the flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I live in a quiet, pet-welcoming neighborhood with minimal traffic, making it great for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet loves lounging or being active, they’ll feel right at home here.
“Heidi was great! She went out of her way to come do a meet & greet with us before the visit. She was very sweet and patient with our nervous girl. Heidi was very responsive and we would love to work with her again.”
“Krista was awesome! Very communicative and flexible through the whole process. We dropped our puppy off with her for several hours. She was caring and did a great job caring for Libby. I recommend her and would use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Michelle — a dog lover, proud pup mom, and currently on a much-needed sabbatical after years in consulting. My love for dogs started young — I literally made a presentation for my parents at age 7 on why we needed one. I studied dog breeds like it was my full-time job (still a fun party trick!), and I’ve been obsessed ever since. My pup Cola is my whole heart. She’s smart enough to be a service dog, but she’s a social butterfly who lives for belly rubs and making new friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be happy to give yours the care and attention they deserve. Feel free to message me — I’d love to connect! I’m currently on sabbatical so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby! We can figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I have a fenced yard, always have dogs on a leash while walking, and am very wary of dogs and people, especially when your pup may be a little nervous around them!

He is my whole world and I treat him like he is my own baby and I know many of you feel the same about your fur-babies. I love animals and I love all the things that come with them. I will treat them as my own and love them unconditionally! I will always treat an animal as though they are my own. For any type of service, I will not only treat your animals with respect and love, but your home as well. I have always made it a mission to keep everything organized and clean after using it. I have also made sure that pet safety is a must and have checklists designed for each family I work with to ensure they trust me and my experience when taking care of their babies.

“Omg Michelle is like a magical dog whisperer!!! Not only was my dog a perfect little angel when I got home from work but actually slept through the night!!! It was insane.

Bud and I love you and are so so grateful to have met you and have you as part of our life! #blessed”
Naomi R.
“My dog is usually scared of people and doesn't like to approach strangers, but he warmed up quickly to Naomi when they first met. She is very gentle, kind and patient with animals and is a great caregiver for them. She is also very affectionate, so your pets will definitely get all of the love they deserve. My dog started off being anxious, but he ended up getting excited every time he got to spend time with her, which is something that I've rarely seen him do with people. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
