“Ron is an outstanding pet sitter and he has a great partner in his companion, Lexi. BooBoo really enjoys her time with Ron and playing with Lexi. BooBoos stays with Ron and Lexi have also helped to socialize her with other dogs. It is very helpful to know that BooBoo can be left with such a caring and capable animal lover.”
“Frisco felt right at home staying with Hallie while we were away for a long weekend in Reno. Hallie was an excellent communicator and kept us updated every day with photos and messages which gave us so much peace of mind. Frisco was well cared for and having a great time playing with other dog friends too. We would absolutely book with Hallie again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dogs stayed for 10 days, and from the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease. Cody and Emily were wonderful, caring, and attentive, and the regular pictures and updates showed us just how happy and comfortable our dogs were. Seeing their smiling faces and all the great pictures throughout our vacation truly took all our worries away and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our time away. It was such a relief knowing they were having just as much fun as we were! They also had the best company with Kiko, the host dog, who was absolutely wonderful, along with the other dogs staying for boarding or enjoying their time in daycare. It was clear that the dogs were having a fantastic time together in a safe, happy, and loving environment. We picked up two very happy dogs, and that says everything! We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and love they received. We would absolutely recommend Cody and Emily, and will definitely be booking again!”
About: NEW TO ROVER, but not new to pet sitting! I’m offering a discounted introductory rate while I build my Rover profile, but may up rates in the future if I get too busy. 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 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.
“Tim was an excellent with Luna. I went on vacation for 12 days and was very responsive when it came to updates and pictures. Luna looked like she had a great time with all of the outdoor adventures Tim took her on. Most definitely a reliable dog sitter.”
About: I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer who specializes in positive reinforcement techniques and I’d love to welcome your beloved fur babies into my loving home. I am first aid trained and insured. I spend all of my free time with my own pups and welcoming yours into my days is sure to go seamlessly. Dogs who are crate trained are preferred. I have a fully fenced yard with multiple entry/exits to the home if the need for separation presents itself. I’m fully insured, professionally certified and CPR/First Aid certified.
“Monica was absolutely amazing watching Kirby! I could tell right away that he was in great hands — she sent tons of pics and check-ins throughout the stay, and Kirby looked so comfortable and happy in every single one. As someone who’s a little obsessed with my dog, that peace of mind means everything to me. Her house is clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. She and her partner are just an amazing couple, and I’d trust them with Kirby again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to snuggle my doooood!”
“Would highly recommended, Kelly is very professional and took the time to make sure my dog would be very well taken care of! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Danielle was awesome with our pups! They were clearly excited and rightfully spoiled during the holidays. Felt comfortable and at ease having the dogs with her especially with the regular updates. She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“Gina was very communicative with me and always made sure to send updates and photos. She was very easy to work with and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs. She is an excellent dog sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“I’m so grateful to Katie and her family for taking such wonderful care of Ozzie! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt comfortable knowing he was in loving and caring hands. Katie was amazing about following Ozzie’s diet and making sure he stayed on his normal routine. She also kept me updated as needed and sent me photos of her and Ozzie playing together, which was so reassuring and made me happy to see that he was having a great time. ❤️🐾 I also really appreciated how flexible Katie was with my pickup time. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to accommodate made the whole experience completely stress-free. It was clear that Ozzie was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciate all the love and attention Katie and her family gave him. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving home for their dog. Ozzie will definitely be staying with them again! ❤️”
“Great first-time experience. Sam, was empathetic to both our pups and my own nervousness. She gave our pups extra TLC and sent several updates and pictures putting us all at ease. She was extraordinary and would highly recommend Sam’s doggy care for your fur baby.”
“Crystal and Riley took fantastic care of Milo! They asked questions before his stay, and sent regular updates while he was with them. Milo was tired and happy when he came home. Safety and comfort seem to be most important at their house. I am super grateful for that! We will see you next time!!”
“Bean had another great stay with Addie last week - she sent plenty of pics as usual, and Bean seemed happy when I picked him up. She says they get lots of cuddles together when he visits, which I know makes Bean extra happy :)”

“Cindy helped us through a very complicated time. It was her first time sitting rabbits (we have two) and she was going to just be doing daily drop-ins with them. While we were out of town, the Hawk fire evacuated our home and she took the bunnies into her home until the evacuation was lifted. We are so grateful for her and her families support and flexibility. Thank you Cindy!”
“Kiana took care of my Siamese cat for 2 1/2 weeks while I was traveling. She was always there 2X a day to feed, water and play with my cat. The litter box was cleaned and the litter vacuumed up. When my flight home was cancelled she quickly agreed to watch my cat for two extra days. I arrived home to a happy kitty.”
“Yvonne did a great job taking care of my two cats. While I was away for the week, I didn’t worry at all. I knew they were being looked after (drop-in visits) by a caring professional cat sitter. Thank you :-)”
About: I have never owned cats, but know a lot of people with one. I’ve taken care of a friends cat once before. I enjoy being around cats, and am aware it takes patience for cats to become comfortable. I would love to take care of a well trained/behaved cat!
About: I've been pet sitting for people for about three years. I have been working as a Veterinary Technician for 5 years. Now that I have my own dog I no longer do overnight stays. Here if walks, drop ins for 1+ hours if needed. I work full time. 7am-5pm 4 days a week. Always have Saturday and Sunday’s off, also usually have Wednesdays off. Willing to do drop ins before/after work if needed. As well as multiple drop ins, walks on my days off. I do have a fur baby of my own now. Her name is Josie, she is a 3 year old black lab. Unfortunately having her I can’t do over night stays. I would also leave her at home for walks with your fur baby and drop ins.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for many years, including helping with family pets since I was younger. I understand that every cat has their own personality, and I’m very patient and respectful of their space. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I have had dogs in my house since before I was born and have never gone a day with out dogs living at home. I love to take my own two dogs on walks and would love to help out others that don’t have the time or ability to take their own out on walks all the time. I currently have my two dogs, two cats and a little zoo made up of different types of pets. I typically work early mornings and I am off by noon most days so a quick afternoon walk is ideal for me. My services are available almost everyday from noon to five in the afternoon. Since I have so many of my own pets I prefer to pet sit at the clients house. I mainly offer dog walking but for any quick day trip over overnighter I am able to stop by to care for your pet and meet their needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs, pretty much my whole life, and have experience with all sorts of dogs. From golden retrievers to dobermans, pit bulls, chihuahuas, and German shepherds, I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and dogs and am able to handle and care for all of them in the ways they need. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed a Fear Free Certification. I have trained all of the dogs I have taken care of and am very dedicated to making sure that they are well taken care of. When they are your best friend, they deserve the best. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of love and care, and will be played with, and walked around to give them the socialization and exercise they need and want. I currently work full time, but have weekends off, and can sometimes do evenings, and love to spend my free time with pets. I fit pet care into my weekly routine by caring for a german shepherd weekly. I provide care for the pets by taking them on walks, and following any other normal care that the pet would typically require. I have 2 five year old german shepherds, as well as a 13 year old cat, so I am well equipped in dealing with multiple pets as well.
“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 had animals my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I've worked in a vet and I've taken care of many of my friends and family's pets as well. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies. I am available morning, afternoon and night. I make sure your babies are fed and have plenty of water, I can take them out 3-4 times a day depending how they are. I also make sure I play with them as much as possible.
About: I will care for and love your pets as if they’re my own. And I hope most professional sitters would! I am here to meet yourself and your pets where you are at! And with patience, love and positive reinforcement. I would be willing to care for animals of all types—nothing is off the table. As long as it’s safe! Always open for discussion.😊 I am flexible and happy to assist; I would be honored to be your trusted, communicative, attentive, detail oriented pet caretaker. I also can even do a little light housekeeping, if needed. Everything is always open for discussion. This “gig” makes me happy and gives me fulfillment outside of Real Estate. Which, by the way…I am always here for questions about that too. Pets feel most comfortable in their home. Especially if you’re away. I’m here for you all.🫶🏼 Can’t wait to meet you! A little about me: I am a realtor and love my job! But with being a solo-caretaker of my elderly grandmother, this seems to be flexible. My schedule is mostly incredibly flexible, especially if planned in advance. I’m also great for last minute saves if things fell through with your normal pet sitter! I will meet you and your pet exactly where you are at! Anything that is out of my scope of comfort will be clearly communicated in advance or as needed. I am all about open communication on both sides. I can’t help if you don’t tell me what you need! If I can’t provide it, I certainly usually know someone who could. And that goes for a lot of things. Looking to build trusting relationships with pets and their humans! I am flexible on any changes or needs you and your pets may have. I’ve cared for puppies up to senior pups for long periods of time for clients and happy to share those references upon request. The only thing I can’t provide is a place for your pets in my home but I’m always open to yours which generally seems to be ideal. Just ask.🩷 Which both
“Alexis watched our senior cat for us while we were out of town and she was excellent, very communicative and attentive! We really appreciated the photos and updates while we were away. His routine isn’t the quickest and easiest so we really valued Alexis’ care and attention to detail while we were gone. Highly recommend her services!”

I was a little worried because one of the cats needs medication, but she handled that nicely. She was also communicative and responsive, and left the house in great condition.”

“Joshua was amazing letting Velcro make his self at home, Velcro and Bailey made fast friends like she was teaching him like a big sister will be booking again with Joshua thank you Joshua for looking after our Velcro”
“Once again my 14year old dog Dazy had a great visit with Yvonne ‘s family❤️ I received lots of updates and pics while she was there. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting. And look forward to her next visit.”
“If your dog likes adventure, Tim’s your guy. If your dog likes to be chill and mellow like Jello-O, Tim’s your guy. If your dog can’t stop, won’t stop, Tim’s your guy. If your dog is judgy of humans (seriously, they can sniff the bad ones!), Tim’s your guy! My three puppers of varying preferences and personalities—including my separation-anxiety-suffering barky-bark—LOVE daycare with Tim! He’s all about the dogs… Yours, mine, ALL THE DOGS. At larger daycare/boarding facilities, my boys are super anxious when I leave them (exacerbating my own anxiety for leaving them), and then take a few days to bounce back after I get them home. With Tim, they’re eager to bound in for fun and good company, and come back home happy and tails-a-waggin’. I know they’re safe and with an experienced handler of multiple dogs. 10/10 recommend, two paws up!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. Right now, I share my home with my own corgi, who is fine with other dogs. I walked dogs in college, and now I am a PhD student with multiple days when I work from home. I am a PhD student and work from home several days a week, so I will be available for play time and outdoor breaks. I already have a routine with my dog where I take her out every two to three hours, but I will be available to let your pet out more often if needed. I live in a house with a small fenced yard and a nearby park for walks. I have my own dog to keep yours company.
About: I have lived my entire life with pets, and frequently dog sat for my neighbors and family when they went on vacation. I also have volunteered for pet shelters and the local zoo. My other half is a stay at home parents and house keeper. I am home in the evenings. So someone will be in the home to keep your buddy at all times. I have a huge fenced in back yard and two very Friendly pugs who have yet to meet someone or something that they don't absolutely love. Rest assured your pet will have good company.

“Danielle was amazing! She was very well prepared, with a water bowl, a great yard, and lots of dog toys. Great communication. Seemed like my pup had an excellent experience. I will definitely rebook with Danielle!”
“Cilantro was AMAZING with our baby girl Koda!! She was sooo sweet, sent lots of pictures, and best of all took great care of our baby girl while we checked out Reno. 10/10 Recommend her for watching your fur babies ☺️”
“Debbie took excellent care of my little guy. She was communicative and flexible, I would definitely use her day care service again. Chancho was happy and exhausted after I picked him up from his play date and I can tell he had a great time.”
“Samantha is very sweet, and you can tell that she really loves the dogs in her care. I felt immediately at ease to leave my pup in her care. She has the perfect set up to care for small dogs.”
“Lisa is wonderful. She watched my baby dogs (not really babies but attached to mom) at the last minute. I set up a time to be at her house so we could meet and see if Lilah 3 and Onyx 2 felt comfortable. Her house was more than dog friendly. She had a secure back and side yard for them to investigate, a water bowl ready, healthy dog treats and some brand new toys already out on the counter for them. She even had a little dog house outside with a bed made inside. It was very hot that day so it was perfect. We sat and chatted in the back yard for a while to get them settled in. They wanted to follow me out the door but quickly settled down. She sent me a msg and some pics as soon as they calmed down which wasn't very long. I recieved updates with pictures and videos throughout the day. That was very comforting. She was very accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond to help me out at such short notice. I would recommend Lisa to watch your furry loved ones anytime.”
“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”
“Shawna has been amazing with our 14 week old puppy Bridges. He always comes home completely pooped and I can tell he feels very comfortable around her family and house. Would 100% recommend!”
“Sarah was awesome! Took a last minute booking, had to drop off early, perfectly accommodating! Took great care of my little Peanut and left me feeling very comfortable with who was taking care of my pup!”
“My dog was happy when I picked him up. He was well fed and taken care of. I can tell when my dog has a good time at a sitters home and my dog definitely had a good time. I will rebook again :)”

“We have a rambunctious lab puppy that I worried would be too much for my parents while we were out of town. My parents raved about Brianna. She walked our dog everyday for a week and he loved it and she really helped him get some energy out! We would definitely look to book her again.”

“Viviana took my dog Keeley out for hour-long walks for a few days when I had all-day commitments. She showed upon time each day and my dog seemed to have a great time on her outings.”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs my entire life. From tiny chihuahuas to labs. Every pet is different, and I make sure they are cared for based on their individual needs. Currently freelancing, which allows a flexible schedule during the week to care for your furry ones. Have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. I have kids that love to play with dogs and a cat that is very mellow. At your home, instructions will be followed. Anything from a quick check in, to overnights.
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
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.
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 am working for myself at the moment. I am available anytime and any day of the week and weekends. I am willing to travel if it's reasonable. I have a fenced yard. I own a dog and a cat. I can crate animals if needed. No front yard fence but have a tree that has a leash connected to it.
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!

“Frisco felt right at home staying with Hallie while we were away for a long weekend in Reno. Hallie was an excellent communicator and kept us updated every day with photos and messages which gave us so much peace of mind. Frisco was well cared for and having a great time playing with other dog friends too. We would absolutely book with Hallie again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dogs stayed for 10 days, and from the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease. Cody and Emily were wonderful, caring, and attentive, and the regular pictures and updates showed us just how happy and comfortable our dogs were. Seeing their smiling faces and all the great pictures throughout our vacation truly took all our worries away and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our time away. It was such a relief knowing they were having just as much fun as we were! They also had the best company with Kiko, the host dog, who was absolutely wonderful, along with the other dogs staying for boarding or enjoying their time in daycare. It was clear that the dogs were having a fantastic time together in a safe, happy, and loving environment. We picked up two very happy dogs, and that says everything! We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and love they received. We would absolutely recommend Cody and Emily, and will definitely be booking again!”
About: NEW TO ROVER, but not new to pet sitting! I’m offering a discounted introductory rate while I build my Rover profile, but may up rates in the future if I get too busy. 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 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.
“Tim was an excellent with Luna. I went on vacation for 12 days and was very responsive when it came to updates and pictures. Luna looked like she had a great time with all of the outdoor adventures Tim took her on. Most definitely a reliable dog sitter.”

“Monica was absolutely amazing watching Kirby! I could tell right away that he was in great hands — she sent tons of pics and check-ins throughout the stay, and Kirby looked so comfortable and happy in every single one. As someone who’s a little obsessed with my dog, that peace of mind means everything to me. Her house is clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. She and her partner are just an amazing couple, and I’d trust them with Kirby again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to snuggle my doooood!”
“Would highly recommended, Kelly is very professional and took the time to make sure my dog would be very well taken care of! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Danielle was awesome with our pups! They were clearly excited and rightfully spoiled during the holidays. Felt comfortable and at ease having the dogs with her especially with the regular updates. She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“Crystal and Riley took fantastic care of Milo! They asked questions before his stay, and sent regular updates while he was with them. Milo was tired and happy when he came home. Safety and comfort seem to be most important at their house. I am super grateful for that! We will see you next time!!”
“Ivy was a hit! She provided exceptional communication and sent daily updates with photos, taking the stress off of leaving our pet while out of town. Our cat is initially timid but was completely relaxed and happy, roaming around when we picked her up. Good job - thank you!”
“Yvonne was amazing with our dogs. She spoiled them and treated them as if they were her own. She updated us with pictures and description of their day. She took the time to get to know them and their personalities. She took them to the park for walks and play time. She is definitely trustworthy and caring .”
“Another great stay with Shannon and David! They are so prompt with booking requests and send frequent updates with pictures. It’s always great to see Willa run up to the door with excitement. This time Willa stayed with another dog, and Shannon and David paid close attention to their interactions as they got to know each other. They have a great sense of dog behavior and body language and seem able to meet a wide variety of dog’s needs and temperaments. Highly recommend this sitter duo!”
“My precious boy have stayed at Ms.Shanna's house for many times like, seriously, I can't remember how many times already. She and her daughter treat Buchoy like a member of the family. They would take him to swimming in the lake, hiking, running, etc. Buchoy gets goodies every holiday like Valentines' Day, Easter, etc when he happens to be at Ms. Shanna's. This week Buchoy got a July 4th themed stuffed toy with his photo on the tag and bags of treats! If you read my previous review, it's not only Buchoy who would get goodies, because I get something too! If you want your dog be treated like a family member, have lots of fun and exercises, book with Ms. Shanna and you will surely thank me!”
About: Our best friend left us last year; a 15-year-old golden retriever, and he was our most important experience in training for dog care. My experience with elderly dogs and puppies has made me seasoned and skilled in practicing patience and understanding. My preparation for your stay is thorough, our yard is locked and mostly sterile, with room for your dog to stretch their legs and have a run around about as often as needed. I have two 24/7 pet hospitals on speed dial, and we have two vehicles ready for quick transport should the need arise. My schedule is open with a few dates in the near future taken. Otherwise, I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Alignment Before our first sit, we will do a brief Meet & Greet to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. Subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch." A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. My workspace is out in the open, and we have stair blockers to keep them with me on the ground floor. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. Photos will always be candid shots taken from a respectful distance—no forcing your pet to pose or look at the camera. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will immediately step in and contact you if I notice any of the following deviation triggers: Refusal to eat or drink over a period of time that is specified by you, since many pets are different. I will reach out if they stop drinking water when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits or accidents in the house. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use gates to block access to stairs. I will hide cords, easily swallowed things, and make sure it's clean. I vacuum regularly, secure window screens, and keep doors to dangerous rooms closed.
“Sherina was so kind and attentive to our pups. She was also very accommodating to make sure the first time we left our dogs with someone was a great experience.”
