“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”

“Chelsea takes such good care of our puppy! Rue and Goose are best friends and she always comes home worn out from playing all day! Rue is so excited to stay with Chelsea for the day. Chelsea has been very flexible with our schedule and we appreciate her so much!”
“Danielle was a fantastic sitter for Oreo! She was incredibly responsive and her home is perfectly set up for dogs - I loved seeing the protective sheets on the sofa, a dedicated water station, and a secure yard for roaming. She kept us updated with photo and messages while we were skiing, which we really appreciated. Oreo came home happy and even smelled great! It’s clear she takes excellent care of her guest dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again when we’re back in Reno!”
“Cameron and Amanda took great care of Emmy while I was on a work trip to Reno. Their dog Mitchell is a total sweetheart and their home is clean and set up well for hosting pups. My dog is a little big introverted so I appreciate that they don't take on too many dogs at once. Communication was prompt and friendly, would definitely recommend them!”
“Timber doesn’t love or even like most people or other dogs. But it’s clear they hit it off from the very start. Thanks, Maddie. We look forward to brining her back.”
“Shannon and David accommodated my anxious pup so I could see a show while visiting Reno. Their communication and level of care were both excellent. My dog came back very happy and ready to nap.”
“Shawna took great care of our high energy puppy! She showered our pup with lots of caring energy and outdoor play! We loved all the picture updates throughout the day!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a Beagle (Billy) from puppyhood and proudly attended dog training classes with him (Billy and I both learned alot !) I've also had the joy of rescuing Summer, a gorgeous ex-show dog Golden Retriever, who was by my side for 13 years. After that was Bammer, an Alaskan Husky Lab mix. He was my adventure buddy, and always kept me on my toes! Besides my own dogs, I've had lots of experience caring for my friends' dogs while they are travelling, so have been able to adapt to all kinds of personalities, temperaments and levels of energy. The silver lining is that I currently have no pets of my own, which means your dog will get all the love, attention, belly rubs, walks, playtime, and couch cuddles they can handle. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer, a pro napper, or somewhere in between, they'll be treated like part of the familly. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my goal is simple: to make sure they're happy, safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you're away. 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing for plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I also love getting outside for neighborhood walks, so your pup will get lots of fresh air, exercise, and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks, and dogs are welcome inside the home as part of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.
“Rachel was amazing! Very friendly, super accommodating, and attentive to messages at all times. Ozzy had a blast and I would definitely recommend her as I will be using her again!”
“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Enero and Angelina! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It wasn't just that she was doing her job—it was obvious from the way she interacted with them that she truly cared about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. Both dogs looked relaxed, happy, and well-loved in every update. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, and we could tell they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would gladly have her watch Enero and Angelina again!”
“Kathy was great and was very accommodating to our schedule. Her home is clean and set up well for dogs. Enzo has a great time and was very comfortable with Kathy and her dog. We will use her again when in town.”
“Kristen was a BLESSING! We had a same day request and she was able to come through! She was accommodating, flexible, affordable, friendly, easy to communicate with and took such great care of our boy! He had the BEST time! I definitely recommend booking with Kristen in the future! 🤍”
“Nikoleta is a wonderful dog sitter! My miniature dachshund, Jake, was so well taken care of in her care - lots of exercise, playtime and hugs! Nikoleta sent me lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the day (as per my request). I would highly recommend Nikoleta - she clearly has a genuine love for animals - she is warm, trustworthy, responsible, kind and has a lot of love to give!”

About: I've always enjoyed taking care of animals since I can remember. For the past 10 years, I've had family friends, coworkers, friends of friends, etc. reach out to me to either host their pets or at take care of them at their places; and I feel lucky to do so! I want to make sure every pup feels safe, loved on, and sleepy from a day of adventure! I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work remote a few days a week. I also have a great boss, who allows dogs to come to the office, if that is what the dog parents want! I live in a 3-bedroom condo, with only 2 rooms occupied, and plenty of space. We have a front porch that is able to be closed off, but I never leave the dogs fully unattended outside. My roommate does have a medium size girl dog, named Kalli. There are 2 dog parks in my neighborhood and plenty of trails. I would allow them to sleep on the couch if they wanted to, or with me, or in the guest room - whichever the dog and dog parent prefer!
About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.
About: I have been taking care of pets ever since I can remember. Born with pets in the house. Walk, hike,feed, play, and bathe animals. I have taken care of friends and neighbors pets.

I can crate animals if needed. No front yard fence but have a tree that has a leash connected to it.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and will treat yours as my own. I am happy to send pictures and updates of our walk or time together while you are away. I can take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood, run, hike, to the river or lake, or whatever you suggest. I can provide pet sitting at your house or my own. I have a home with a fenced in yard perfect for doggy day care. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your needs. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! I am a local teacher who works Mon-Wed so those days I am gone during school hours. Thur-Sun and summer I am available with a flexible schedule. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard that’s perfect for a pup. My most recent dog was an old golden retriever with medical needs so I am used to providing special care.
About: Hi, I’m Angie! I started walking dogs my senior year of college and loved the quality time I got to spend with them! I truly feel like pets embody the purest form of love. I also started watching cats during my time in law school and have experience administering medication. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust when finding someone to care for your furry family member, and I'd be honored to care for your baby! I like to provide consistent updates with plenty of photos throughout the time I share with your pet. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently waiting on bar results so my day-to-day schedule is pretty flexible, and I'd be happy to check in on your pet while you're at work or on vacation! I will treat your pet like my own! I usually like to meet the family before I start caring for your pet on my own so we can all get familiar with each other. I also provide photos and updates throughout my walk or visit. For dog owners, I’m happy to share my location for the duration of the walk as well!
About: I've had dogs since I was a boy with my first pup Emma sleeping in my room every night. Since, my wife Rose and I have adopted our dog Lily as a puppy over 7 years ago and before that cared for an ederly dog, Breyer, for about a year and a half where we made his last year comfortable. Last year we also adopted a couple kitties Frank and Poppy who can be precocious but generally keep to themselves. Lily is the biggest sweetheart (ask anyone on Rover) and now that we have our own home I want to invite other dogs over for playtime, boarding, and all the walking they can ever need. Lily has been through extensive professional training which included detailed methods for us on how to treat and take care of all kinds of dogs. I work from home full time on a flexible schedule so I can tend to dogs as needed. We have a big fenced in yard for play and the usual routine would be a long walk about 3 in the afternoon with frequent potty breaks as needed. Fully fenced in yard, dog house outside with a dog door. Essentially, if your pup comes to our house they are treated like a member of our family.
About: I have taken care of family pets since childhood. I loved caring for my cats, dog, fish, mouse, rabbits, chickens and snake! I’ll love your pets and make sure all their needs are met. I’m currently working part time so I’ve got lots of free time for pet care. I hike or run ever day so I’d love to take dogs on these adventures. I’m a caring house sitter and leave homes clean and neat. I will care for pets in their own homes or take them for walks in the area. I’m happy to transport a pet in my climate controlled vehicle to exercise areas nearby.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time!

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.
About: We have taken care of animals all our lives and have a genuine love for each of them. We have experience with it all; new puppies and kittens, as well as older furry friends who may need special treatment and/or administering medication. Between the both of us, we always make it a priority to work with our pups with lots of playtime, exercise, training and socialization daily. We both are self employed and create our own schedules so we are flexible and work together to ensure our pets have an enjoyable & active day. We have a large dog-friendly fenced-in yard as well as amazing trails just outside our backdoor. Our Aussie-Border Collie mix, Penny is super friendly and submissive and gets along with everyone. She is super gentle when needed and can hold her own with larger dogs also. We have a very well socialized cat, Eleanor, who LOVES dogs and visitors.
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and artist currently spending some time in the beautiful Reno/Tahoe area for art research and inspiration. My heart belongs to animals. My beloved Yorkie was my sidekick for 15 wonderful years, and we spent countless days exploring the outdoors together. Because I’m currently traveling and focusing on my art, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of love to give to your fur babies while I'm in town! I treat every pet like family. Whether your dog loves high-energy outdoor adventures, a relaxing stroll, or just quiet cuddle time while I sketch, I happily match their energy and routine. 📸 Stay Connected: You can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My Skills & Services 🐕 Dog Walking & Outdoor Play: Ready to explore local trails or just stroll around the block. 💖 Endless Love & Attention: Lots of snuggles, positive reinforcement, and companionship. 🍲 Feeding & Meal Prep: Experienced with specific dietary instructions and schedules. 💊 Medication Support: Comfortable maintaining moderate medication schedules. 🐈 Cat Friendly: Meow spoken here, too! I're happy to hang out with your feline friends. Your pet will always be treated with the utmost kindness, patience, and the same deep love I gave my own dog for 15 years. I can't wait to meet them! I am a self-employed artist and director of a small nonprofit, which gives me an incredibly flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Much of my work involves painting landscapes—capturing the beautiful mountains, lakes, and high-desert light of the Reno/Tahoe area. Because my art keeps me outdoors, I am always ready to take dogs along for fresh-air strolls, sniffing adventures, and outdoor playtime. When I am working from my laptop or sketching, pets in my care receive relaxed companionship, lots of attention, and plenty of snuggles. My flexible routine allows me to easily accommodate weekday or weekend care, house sitting, and extended stays. Your pet will seamlessly become a part of my creative, peaceful day! Since I am currently in the Reno/Tahoe area for art research, I'll mainly be focusing on House Sitting (in the client's home), Dog Walking, or Drop-In Visits rather than hosting pets at my residence (however, some exceptions can be made). Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my absolute priorities. Whether I am house-sitting in your home or visiting for walks, I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like family. Safety Outdoors: Because the Reno/Tahoe area has beautiful wildlife (like deer, coyotes, and bears), I keep all dogs securely on-leash during our walks unless we are in a designated, securely fenced dog park and you have explicitly approved off-leash time. I am also highly mindful of the pavement temperature and hydration during warm high-desert days. A Familiar, Relaxing Atmosphere: Inside your home, I strive to keep your pet’s environment calm, positive, and consistent. I love providing relaxed companionship—whether I'm sketching nearby or enjoying quiet cuddle time. Following Their Routine: I strictly follow your pet's established routine, including precise feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any necessary medication tracking. If your pet uses a crate, playpen, or has specific house rules, I will mirror them exactly. You can rest easy knowing your home is secure, and your fur baby is receiving dedicated, loving, and highly attentive care while you're away!
About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler, cared for puppies, seniors, and every stage in between. I'm familiar with specialized care needs and comfortable with all requirements including daily injections and monitoring. I love our furry friends and approach their care passionately. Your dogs are going to love me more than you thought possible. I'll love them equally too. I currently work a flexible and remote schedule so I'll be available for your pets often and prioritize their needs. I enjoy my morning and evening walks and I'm happy to include your furchild to get them enough stimulus and some exercise. I currently have an elderly rescue who can be aggressive at times with other dogs, so I'm unavailable for taking new dogs in my home, but she is very well loved and cared for so I'm free for all in house pet sitting.
“We are so happy to have met Neesa, she’s always available and promptly helps us with our pets, long walks, follows all directions and goes above and beyond by bringing boxes and trash bins in.”
“Zac was a great help when I couldn't walk my dog because of an injury for 3 days. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions. We have a friendly, playful 9 month Great Dane who is already over 100 lbs so I wanted someone who was comfortable with that size. He is friendly, was here on time and was good with my dog. The pup came back happy and was pleased to see Zac on subsequent visits. I recommend him and will use again when needed.”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've immersed myself in their care since the age of 13. From volunteering at shelters and farms to watching over various pets, I've nurtured a deep bond with creatures of all kinds. Whether it's a cat, dog, guinea pig, bearded dragon, or any furry friend, I'm committed to their well-being. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority, as I continually seek to improve my skills and connect with them on a personal level. Expect me to go above and beyond, treating your beloved pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time hours so my availability is flexible. I am available throughout the week and over the weekend as well. Let me know when you would need me and I can see how I can make that work for you. I have one dog and a cat at home. We have a very safe backyard that is surrounded by a fence and we make sure to watch them whenever they go outside. We make sure that when we leave the house that we’re not gone for too long so that our dog can go to the bathroom and that both our dog and cat are comfortable and emotionally secure.

“Lil Bear seemed happy when I picked him up! Which is always a good sign that his visit went well. Arron always got back to me promptly when I checked in and sent pictures. Very much appreciated. Thanks Arron and Devine for taking care of Lil Bear!”
“Leaving your pet with someone is never easy, but Susan made me feel entirely comfortable from when we did our meet & greet! During my dog's stay, she sent lots of pictures and I could tell my pup was having the best time. Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future, as my experience with her was absolutely amazing!”
“I always bring my pup to Kelly and she does a wonderful job every time. He always comes back happy and I know he’s well taken care of. She sends pictures and updates every day of the fun they’re having. I cant say enough good things. Highly recommend!”
“Theo had an active, delightful day with Danielle. Danielle sent me pictures and text throughout the day to let me know how my boy was doing. Danielle is so kind and really understood the personality of my terrier. Just a wonderful experience all around.”
“Kristen is amazing! Our puppy was extremely happy and well cared for with Kristen. He had lots of outdoor playtime in her yard and doggy pool. Kristen sent lots of pictures and updates, which put us at ease during our dog’s first trip. Kristen is very warm, friendly, and extremely caring. Probably why our dog enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Great pet care for our corgi. April & Rachel were awesome in communication, flexibility, sending pictures and updates. My daughter has also used their pet services and was greatly appreciative of how attentive and caring they were. Definitely 5 star ⭐️ experience and will definitely be using their services again! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Toby was in great hands! 🐶”

“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”
“Bailey seemed to do very well with Sarah. I appreciated Sarah’s quick responses to my questions as well as the pictures she sent. I would take Bailey to her again when I plan to be away.”

“Ivy was great! She provided a meet and great to ease our concerns of our dog being around her cat since our dog has never been around cats much. Definitely would recommend Ivy to care for your pets when needed.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and each one has meant the world to me. I promise to give that same love and care to your pets! I work from home, so I am pretty available and flexible. I’m happy to do daily walks and open to a repeating schedule, or just a one time event! I am very easy going when house sitting. A detailed note is all I need, and you can expect to receive plenty of photos of your pet(s). I have two cats in my home that are used to having dogs around! We can discuss boarding in my home if needed.
“Nina was awesome! My husband and I live out of the area but were visiting Reno and our hotel had a no pet policy, so we thought we would try someone close to where we were staying. I saw Nina’s profile and the positive reviews and determined it could be a good fit after we spoke on the phone. Nina was very professional and responsive throughout the entire duration leading up to our booking, and stayed in contact throughout their stay, providing lots of updates and pictures (which we loved!). It put our minds at ease seeing how happy and relaxed our boys appeared in the pictures. I was a little worried my boys might give her a little trouble because for some reason they aren’t huge fan of men, and I knew they would be around a guy but Scott is clearly a gem because my boys were cuddling up to him and one of them was following him around their house and wanting all his attention! Blew my mind a little (in a great way!) lol. When we went to pick them up they were calm, relaxed, and happy and fell fast asleep on the car ride home with zero PTSD lol. While I’m not in Nina’s area, I will absolutely see if she is available again next time we are out there.”
“If it helps — we’re repeat clients. Shannon and David are amazing. They took such great care of Bella, were very responsive, and sent us daily photos. Highly recommend them if you want peace of mind while you’re away!”
