Dog Sitting Sun Valley

About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

About: Hi! I’m Carlee — a wife, mom of 3, and huge animal lover. Our family absolutely adores both dogs and cats. We have an 18 month old golden retriever named Sonny who keeps us active and smiling every day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’m here to help where I can, and treat your pets like part of the family. I’m currently offering drop-ins and dog walks, and I’d love to help give your pets attention, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some company and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe and cared for! I’m a mom of 3 with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and lots of attention throughout the week. I love getting outside for walks and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family.

“We booked Megan to drop in on our dogs and not only was she amazing watching them, but she also spent time with our cats and even cleaned their litter box while we were away! So above and beyond! She stays in constant communication, is kind and so great with all of our fur babies. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we have to go out of town.”

About: I'm quite loving around animals and I will treat them like my own. I have watched over a neighbor's dogs in my neighborhood a few times though out the years and her dogs love me. I will play with them and give them a ton of attention. I will do extra work like, if you would like for me to rake leaves or water plants, I will. I'm available for most of the week and I am flexible. I am very patient and kind and I will make sure your dog(s) have a lot of exercise and fun with me. I am willing to watch over any breed big or small, but I am a little uncomfortabe with pits. I love playing with puppies and get along with them just fine.

About: I have dogsat for my neighbors growing up, have taken care of my own dogs while my parents were out of town, along with feeding, sitting, and taking my friends’ dogs out for frequent walks when needed. I've administered medication for dogs (pills for managing epilepsy) as well as shots for cats. I've learned to love all animals that come into my care, similar to how my mom and grandmother have operated. It would be a pleasure and privilege to bring my caretaking genes to your furry family! I also take care of birds. Let me hang out with your feathery friends! I live and work at home in Miami during the winter and spring-ish seasons and live and work across the western US for the summer and fall. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week until April/May when seasonal work switches my schedule to working one week on, one week off. I have lived with many animals in my lifetime, made mistakes and learned greatly from them, and fully prioritize love and safety to your animals. The beauty of living in Florida in the wintertime and the West in the summer is that taking dogs on walks in the sunshine is never a chore!

About: I have owned and cared for all pets from dogs and cats to horses and chickens my whole life. I have experience taking friends and neighbors dogs on regular walks or hikes. I always treat them as if they were my own and love building a bond with them. I also have experience house sitting and caring for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated high school and have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs. I can’t wait to meet you furry family members! Recently graduated and have a very open and flexible schedule. Days, nights, weekends and holidays. I can work around your schedule to make it work. I am comfortable caring for pets on a strict routine or with diet needs. I construct my routes based on your pets needs, not one size fits all. If you have a puppy needing to get some energy out, we can run or hike. If you have an older pet just wanting to stay active, a leisurely walk with shade and breaks as needed will be best. There is no request I can’t work with.

“Arianna was great! Proactive communication, helpful and friendly, followed all instructions, took great care of the kitties. Would definitely book her again!!”

About: I have four dogs from 10 pounds to 150 pounds, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! I love taking care of animals so much that I wanted to be a vet when I was younger. I’m working part time and going to school so I should have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats! I have two days off a week, as well! I am happy to follow any instructions for your dog’s care, I know it’s not one size fits all! Please let me know of any special commands your dog has, and I’ll be sure to try and work on them with them!

About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

“We always appreciate Arin’s drop in visits while we’re away. It’s good to know our cats are well taken care of! Arin has also been kind enough to bring in a package or two when it’s delivered and we’re not home.”

About: I've been a sitter for nearly eight years! I like the same activities as your pet- long walks, hanging out at home with a movie, and cuddles on the couch. We can be new best friends and my genuine respect for animals makes me a consistent and responsible sitter. I'm a college student, and doing homework with someones cute animals (my family dog is at home) sounds like a pretty nice weekend to me. I work part time and am at university, so although I'm quite busy, it's all in little chunks! I can rework my schedule to work for your pet. I'm super easy! I'd like a spot to read and listen to music, and besides being on the floor with your dog, I don't need much at all. Tell me what you need, and I'll handle the rest.

“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: Hi, I go by Ashton. I began working with dogs in a professional setting in 2011 in Anchorage Alaska. I received my Certificate to be a Professional Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and immediately began working along side seasoned obedience, behavior modification and agility trainers. After some time I was able to begin mentoring new trainers in basic obedience, teaching them how to run puppy and adult basic obedience group classes. Though my profession career began in 2011, my passion for working with dogs truly started many years before that, here in Reno,NV, when I adopted a Chow Chow named Leo. I was just a teenager and Leo had come with several severe behavioral issues. He was both human and dog aggressive, destructive, not house broken, had sever separation anxiety, ran aware regularly and was leash reactive. Despite being uneducated in dog behavior at the time, I began to do my own research and was dedicated to teaching Leo how to feel safe, happy and confident so that he would overcome his many barriers. We walked every day and I tirelessly worked toward socializing him. When I moved to Alaska, I took Leo with me, he became my practice dog and we learned dog behavior together! In no time, he was attending puppy class with me, rolling on the floor letting puppies jump all over him. He was going on walks with other leash reactive dogs, HE was the calm presence that helped other dogs see that it was all okay. Leo learned to love people and other animals, he learn to trust and because of him and everything he overcame, my heart was set on making that difference in as many lives as I possibly could. In 2024, as a single parent, I made the difficult choice to "retire" from dog training to focus on feeding other passions and traveling with my daughter. During that time I have continued to have a lovely time with my own dogs and the dogs of close family members, but I am starting to feel the ache of wanting to help again. I have decided to offer limited services related to dog walking, drop in visits, play dates, nail trims and limited bathing/grooming. (Oh, did I mention I used to be a dog foster parent, groomer and kennel tech alongside my training?) I have outline my services in more detail below; however, feel free to reach out with any questions if you don't see what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you :) I am offering evening walks Monday - Friday, drop in visits and extended walks on Saturdays and Sundays. Dog Daycare is available for limited hours on Sundays and will be accepted on a case by case basis. Loose leash walking training can be provided in conjunction with walks at an additional cost. Please message for details. All dogs are required to be collared with identification for walks. I will request a microchip number if they have been chipped in the event of an emergency. For your dogs safety and mine: If your dog is an extreme puller, I may request to be allowed to use tools such as an easy walk harness and sort lead. If I do not have your dogs size, I may request you purchase one.

“Shannon was really amazing, sweet and caring! She took care of my babies so well and made sure they didn’t feel alone on Christmas. Thank you.”

“Natalie is truly a WOW in my book! She went above & beyond! Due to my 17+ yr old Angel! I had to ask Natalie for 3x a day which I’ve never asked anyone! Natalie said yes with such grace and sincerity! Natalie is a gem of a human being! She truly cared for my furs like they were her own! I am blessed to have found her! Remarkable person! Thank you again & again Natalie! Hugs 🤗”

“Amazing, dog sat for me last minute and her attention to detail was very comforting. I felt very safe, leaving my dog with her and I’m very grateful that she was able to take care of Indy. If needed I will definitely hire her again. Thanks Shelby”

About: I've have taken care of animals since I was in elementary school, I have taken care of reptiles so I'm not afraid of bugs and I've also taken care of dogs and even during covid I had a family member bring me their dogs for 3 months to take care of them. Currently since I moved to reno and looking for a part time job I have a lot of time to be taking care of dogs currently so I don't mind what time it will be. I have two dogs and they are friendly, and I always look out for them weather that's in my backyard or on a hike since currently in reno there seems to be many snakes out there and I would like to keep them safe, but also want them to have fun while being safe.
