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.

“Kathryn has been reliable and trustworthy with walking my 2 doggies. I really have piece of mind knowing the dogs are going to get great care and a great walk while I'm at work!”


“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 🥰🐾”


“Jennifer did such an amazing job walking my dog Blue. She was kind enough to take him on short notice. Very fast response time & updated frequently!”


“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!”


“Mayra has been exceptional with my two labradoodles. She is incredibly reliable and attentive, always ensuring they receive the best care. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in every interaction. Highly recommended!”


“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!”


“Second time Jonathan took care of Niko for a weekend. He is really good with dogs and Niko really likes to be around him. I booked the day before and Jonathan was able to make accommodations spontaneously. I'd recommend Jonathan and will definitely book again in the future.”


“She took good care of my Callie girl while I was out snowboarding. Took her on a walk and sent cute photos and videos. She was very communicative. I'll definitely use Mariana again when I need a Callie walk!”



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.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from puppies and senior dogs to cats, bearded dragons, and even fish. My approach is calm, patient, and intuitive, shaped by years of tuning in to the unique needs and personalities of each pet. Whether it's giving a senior dog extra time on a walk, keeping routines consistent for anxious pets, or understanding the quiet cues of more independent animals, I show up with steady care and attention. I’m also experienced with feeding routines and keeping both pets and homes feeling safe and cared for while you're away. I keep a steady weekly schedule and have flexibility built in, which allows me to reliably show up for walks, check-ins, or longer stays. Whether it’s early mornings, midday breaks, or evening visits, I plan my time with care so your pet’s needs are met consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to create a calm and consistent environment that helps your pet feel safe and secure while you’re away. I stick closely to your routines because I know how much those familiar patterns matter. I’m mindful of your space, keeping things clean, locking up carefully, and treating your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in steady, thoughtful hands. I’m also happy to send photo updates along the way so you can stay connected and reassured.

“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!”


“Nikoleta was wonderful about walking Coco and responded immediately. It was a last minute booking and she came by to introduce herself and meet Coco before the walk the next day. She knew about all the good pathsin my community and gave her an excellent workout. I loved the photo shots she sent! Thank you Nikoleta!”


“Great communication”


About: I'm a super cuddly, attentive and caring pet friend. I'm used to providing animals with medicine, eye drops etc. I'd love to make a new buddy with your wonderful furry family member. The dates I have listed available are when im in the Reno/Tahoe area. Outside of pet sitting im an event coordinator who travels the country putting on 5k foot races, mud runs, marathons and cycling events! I have 3 wonderful hounds at home, 8 chickens and a few neighborhood felines that we tend to! While I'm helping you, my other half is taking care of our babies <3

“Kailey is an amazing Rover! We have trusted her with our dogs, cat, and home for about half a year now and have been pleased each and every time. She is friendly, caring, and professional. Our dogs are absolutely in love with her (they might even like her more than us now). We have a rescued cat with quite a few health and personality problems and two dogs that demand quite a bit of attention, including one who is rather mischievous (stealing the other dog’s food, eating random stuff he finds, sneaking through the gate upstairs when he’s not supposed to, etc.). But Kailey has always done an amazing job of babysitting them and never disappoints. She is very trustworthy and just a delightful person, as well!”


About: I am a responsible pet sitter who loves animals and has been pet/house sitting for friends and family for many years. Walking dogs is one of my favorite things to do, and I love cuddling with cats. I have had both dogs and cats my whole life and am very comfortable around a variety of pet personalities. I am currently a graduate student at UNR so I’ll be around throughout the week to walk and care for pets when I’m not at class. Happy to stay with the pet and let out multiple times. It will give me a chance to catch up on homework and be around the animal at the same time. I’d prefer the pet stay at its own house and I’ll come to them. I have a sweet older dog who loves his calm and quiet atmosphere of home, and adding another animal to the mix would be too hard on him. Happy to be at my client’s house with the animal for longer periods of time.

Alexis F.
“Hello, My Name is Melora and I have know Alexis many years. I’m honored to recommend Alexis as a trusted and compassionate caregiver for pets through Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet owner, Alexis brings not only experience but genuine heart to the care she provides. Alexis rescued her beloved corgi, Macy, many years ago and has since given her a joyful and loving life. Recently, she also adopted a new kitten, expanding her furry family even further. Her deep connection with animals is evident in how she creates a calm, positive, and gentle environment for them to thrive. Beyond her love for animals, Alexis is a remarkable person. She’s currently completing her master’s degree in counseling and behavioral psychology while raising her school-aged son. She leads an active lifestyle, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and embracing nature with enthusiasm. Alongside her partner Thomas, Alexis is deeply involved in the community, often volunteering and supporting those less fortunate. What sets Alexis apart is her trustworthiness, her empathy, and her natural ability to bond with both pets and people. Whether it’s helping an elderly neighbor with errands or simply sharing tea and conversation, Alexis gives her time generously and sincerely. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Alexis caring for their animals. I highly recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking for a reliable, warm, and attentive caregiver through Rover. Thank you . Melora V.”

“Shawn cared for my two large dogs in my home and I am extremely grateful for her services. She walked them, hung out with them, loved them and was very conscientious about cleaning up after them daily. She checked in with me and sent pictures of the dogs daily. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. I would highly recommend Shawn to care for your animals and home.”
