“Catherine was awesome! She went above and beyond for my elderly cat with high medical needs and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable having her look after my cat”

About: I'm so happy with my choice to transition to travel nursing, but I miss having dogs in my life! I'm looking to walk furry friends as I get to know the local area and serve your community. My work (and recreation) schedule varies, so I may not be able to commit to a set routine, but I'm happy to jump in and walk your pupper when I can! Please let me know what your rules are for your dog and what kind of behavior I can expect from them. Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they go bonkers for squirrels? Gobble up sidewalk trash like a Rumba? Is every morning walk going to be a 3-pooper? Let me know! :-) For long hikes, I will keep your dog leashed until I know them well and have your permission for them to be off-leash.
“Sera was wonderful with our cat Lucy. My husband and I will definitely book with her again. We enjoyed the photos and the updates, keeping us informed about Lucy's wellbeing. Lucy was happy and not stressed. She was very well cared for when we came home. Sera is a very reliable, lovely person.”

About: NEW TO ROVER, but not new to pet sitting! Dogs stay in my home as part of the family with me, my two animal-obsessed daughters, ages 12 and 16, and our two friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Your dog(s) have access to a beautiful, fully-fenced half-acre yard, a dog door, a clean and comfortable carpet-free home and plenty of room to run, sniff and explore indoors and outside. I prefer extended stays and host only one to four visiting dogs at a time, depending on their size, needs and personalities. This allows each dog to settle into our normal household routine and receive plenty of personal attention. I primarily accept small and medium dogs and require a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone will be safe, comfortable and relaxed together. I accept large dogs only if I have boarded them previously and know they are trustworthy around smaller animals, but if you feel strongly that your big mellow dog would fit in best with small animals and not play rough, please reach out! I’ve had dogs for most of my life and regularly care for pets belonging to friends and local families. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications and accommodating different exercise needs. I also offer drop-in care for cats, chickens and other small pets in their own homes. I work about 10 minutes from home and can usually come home at lunchtime when needed. Dogs get plenty of yard time before and after work, with evenings and weekends available for walks, play and attention. I’m a particularly good fit for dogs that are already comfortable relaxing at home during a normal workday. I can also accommodate midday meals, medications and other care needs. Visiting dogs live with us as part of the family. They’re welcome on the couch or bed and can use the dog door if they’re comfortable with it. My fully fenced, half-acre yard includes a large lawn, orchard, garden and sagebrush-covered hillside with lots of room to run and explore. Chickens are kept separately in an enclosed coop or their own fenced area. I’m directly on the Steamboat Ditch Trail, so walks start right from the house. I’m also happy to take energetic dogs on longer walks, hikes or runs.

About: Apart from my own mini aussie, Hobbs, I have cared for friends and families pets ranging from puppies to equine. My own dog is going on 13 this year meaning I am no stranger to administering medication or following special care instructions. I also have my own flock of chickens (2 years old) that I’ve raised from a day old. I’ve had to treat them medically numerous times making avian care well known to me. In addition, I’ve grown up around and involved in care for horses and other livestock (goats, sheep). I’m currently going to school at UNR but classes are over at 3pm! Late afternoons and nights work great. The weekends I can accommodate virtually any time and overnights. I am working a part time job, so my fluctuating schedule will be reflected in my availability. While I don’t currently offer services in my own home, I have my own vehicle large enough for big puppies in case of emergency! Otherwise I will abide by any and all house rules and instructions :)
“Rachel is great! She is communicative and when we went on vacation she even sent us photos of our Penny! We will be calling on her again next time we're out of town.”

“She took care of feeding our guinea pigs while we were traveling. She was very kind and sent us photos every day, and we really appreciated it. If we’re ever away again, we would love to ask for her help. Thank you so much, Danika! 😄✨”

“Excellent punctuality and some of the best and most consistent communication from a sitter. We will hire her again when we go out of town to take care of our cats if she is available”

“Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.”

I have time to play with them or walk them as needed I am respectful of other people's homes and instructions on how to care for their fur babies.

“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!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young, especially helping with my sister’s and friends pets over the years. I’m very comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Martha did an incredible job with my dog Radar! She’s caring, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Radar loved spending time with her and came home calm and content. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”

“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.”

Above and beyond doesn’t even cut it! If I could leave more stars I would. Our cats are former colony cats and NOT fans of unfamiliar humans, but they all ate and came out for pets! It’s unheard of for our cats to do so well with a sitter, the vibes were just too chill for them to be scared. Super detailed and helpful report cards including pics of everyone and again above and beyond service. Could not be more pleased. Will be re-booking. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

This is the second time Kevin has done drop-ins for our cat. He sends us lots of great pictures and videos, which we really appreciate. It’s really nice for our cat to feel safe and comfortable in our home and get such good positive connection while we’re away. We will definitely be using Kevin again. A+

One of my cats is a very shy boy who does not come out for anyone but me - but he came out for Sera! He gave her a lot of love and clearly felt very comfortable around her. My other two babies also love her very much and I can see in the photos how much fun they have with her. Cannot recommend Sera enough
Athena and Natas absolutely enjoy being taken care of by Luna when I leave town. I have no worries as Luna does an outstanding job sending numerous photos of my kitties while she interacts with them. Luna is very respectful and caring with the kitties. I am very happy with her watching them anytime.

Cyndi has taken care of my cat on four weekends this summer in my apartment and I'm really pleased. She is easy to reach, always texts her arrivals and departures, and sends pictures. I have complete confidence in her, know that my home is secure when she is present and will keep using her services.
McKenna was absolutely amazing with Remi! We were gone for a whole weekend and she made sure our little weenie was well taken care of. She communicated the whole time and made sure to send lots of pictures. Remi can be a little much at times with the barking and anxiety but McKenna handled everything so well. 100/10 we will definitely be asking her to watch weenie again!

Haiden was VERY responsive and communicative. He showed up when he was supposed to, sent pictures and feedback about Fischer, and called when he needed help finding the correct address. This trip was a little weird for me because I had maintenance coming and had to keep my cats in a room for the first part of my trip, but Haiden was adaptable. I also had to leave without him meeting my pup because of work and he was able to use my written feedback and do an amazing job! I will definitely be using Haiden again in the future!
