About: i've taken care of dogs, cats all my life. Their wellbeing is important to me. Their needs will be top priority. Let me know if there is anything specific that they need. I also am a dog walker and will make sure that they have the exercise and potty breaks that they need. Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, which allows me to be reliable, flexible, and responsive to pet parents’ needs. I plan my day to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention, including mornings, mid-day, and evenings as needed. I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable. I follow all written instructions closely, including feeding, medications, leash preferences, and home routines. I prioritize safety at all times — secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and careful observation during visits and walks. I provide updates through Rover and communicate promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I only communicate and book through Rover for safety and accountability.

About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I was 10. I have cared for young and older animals, so I am prepared to deal with ailments. I have experience with medicine application of all kinds and senior care. I can clean up after animals and give walks. I have experience with cats, dogs, goats, sheep, birds, reptiles and rodents. I am a full time university student at UNR, so I have plenty of time to visit throughout the day. I can adjust to your schedule as you work with mine. I have classes from around 9-10am to noon then with a lunch break from 12-1 to care for your pets. I have classes again until 4pm so I can be back for an evening stroll and check up. I am free in weekends when you may need. I take pride in my workspace and that means the client’s home. I am aware that if a pet makes a mess the homeowners don’t want to return to a stressful situation so I will gladly clean any mess made by the pets during the time I am responsible for. I will not disrupt the home, I am there to care for the pets and nothing more but nothing less.

About: I love working with pets of all sizes. From large dogs to tiny kitties, I have seen a bit of everything. If your pet requires specialized care I am experienced with administering medications both orally and subcutaneously, as well as working with young animals and seniors. Bring me your little (and big) guys and I will make sure they are fed, entertained, and exercised! Being an online college student my days are pretty open! I am available most days of the week, I enjoy being able to walk dogs or play with cats in the day and settle in for an evening of studying afterward. I have come to enjoy the "leave no trace" aspect of pet-sitting, I come in, give your pet all of the love and attention they need, clean up any messes they (or I) make, and leave your house spotless as though I was never there (only evidence being lots of pet photos). I do also enjoy bringing toys and/or treats my own pets love as long as they have been approved beforehand.

About: Firstly, I have lived with animals my entire life, from big dogs to lizards! I have also been volunteering at shelters since I was 11 years old with dogs of all kinds of sizes and personalities! Not only have I trained my dogs from home, but I have used those skills to train the shelter dogs obedience, leash work, and even cool party tricks! On top of this, I’ve been training my dogs alongside real police K9 trainers whom have introduced me to training tactics that have even made me comfortable working with reactive dogs. I’m currently a university student without a current job (but past working experience!) and a lot of flexibility, so if you need a sitter or walker who is dedicated, experienced, determined, and flexible, I’m here to support your furry friends! Currently I am not working a part-time job, so my schedule is very flexible! I can do overnights and my weekends are usually free other than the occasional trips out of town. My weekday schedule is pretty open, I do have a couple classes each day where I’d be gone about 3 hours at a given time. I am not in a suitable living situation to house animals at the moment, but I can do overnights at my clients homes. Let me know of any and all personal pet routines and I will follow them accordingly!

About: Hello, I'm Mira! I own two little fur babies of my own, both bulldogs. One of the main things I understand in searching for a pet sitter is someone who genuinely cares for your babies safety and stimulation when left without their owner, so I hope to be assistance and relieve some of that anxiety you may be feeling. I specialize in in-depth hygiene care for dogs, as well as medical assistance for those who need it. One of my bulldogs, an oldie who is 6 years old, requires constant cleaning and medication such as eye drops, ear washes, and pills every morning and night. My other one, 4 years, who is a ball of energy, needs 24/7 activity to provide him with enough release and content at the end of the day. I am not unfamiliar with the intensive care they need, as well as the love they deserve, no matter their history. So I hope to be there for your babies and give them the utmost satisfaction. :) With school, I have classes with huge breaks that allow me to work and head right your way. Friday's are my best weekdays, as I am available from 12pm and on. As for my pets, one of them loves to sunbathe and lounge, considering his old nature and joint problems, while the other requires an immense amount of energy to get him through the day without being bored. With previous dogs in the past, many were just as he was, needing constant play time and outdoor time to get them rejuvenated! Luckily for them, I loved hiking and taking brisk walks, so for them, it was a perfect match.

About: I’ve had several dogs myself, and worked at several shelters/boarding institutions! I have loved animals my whole life, and think it’s a privilege to get to meet so many new paws and faces! I’ve trained over 200 pups and have no problem working with dogs of all temperaments, size and age! I don’t currently work, I am a college student so generally there is blocks of time where I am unavailable, but no longer than an hour or so! I have a fenced in yard, but prefer to go to clients homes as I think the animals feel more comfortable as well! I treat all animals as my own!

About: Experienced dog and cat cuddlers!! My husband and I grew up with pets our whole lives, have been foster parents for our local shelter, and have been dog/cat sitting for the past year and a half! We even have experience training pets, so who knows, your dog or cat might come back with some new tricks up their sleeve! ;) These opportunities have given us a lot of experience caring for furry friends, and we are so excited to love yours for a little while!! :) Thank you for trusting us, please message with any questions or concerns. We hope to be a resource for you and work to help where we can. My husband and I both work remotely, so we are around often. We also do not have children or other pets. This means we can spend lots of time with the cuties we care for! We will go above and beyond for the pets we care for. We know they are a part of your family, so we will make them a part of ours while we have them! We’ll be sure to get all your preferences and guidelines ahead of time to ensure we take care of your home/pet as you wish.

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 currently work for the school district M-F from 7-3 but can be available on weekends for pet sitting. Once school is out for the summer I will have more availability during the week and daytime hours. If you’re curious about availability, just ask. :) I’d prefer your pet stay at it’s own home and I’ll come to them. I have pets of my own who prefer not to share the space. Happy to be at my client’s house with the animal for longer periods of time.

The whole process with Samantha has been positive. She was on time our initial meetup and was easy to talk to. She didnt seem phased by my dog's excited barking, which scares some people. On the day of the walk i got a notification and a photo, and Samantha responded promptly when I asked how everything went. She locked up when she left and everything was in order when I got home! I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Samantha:)
