“We love having our pup stay with Heather! He’s an elderly pup so seeing him get excited on the ride to her place is wonderful because he knows he's going to have a great time. He loves being there so much and we always know our quirky old dog is absolutely in excellent hands. As always, Heather provided an exceptional level of care and compassion throughout the entire duration of my pup's stay. My dog's physical and emotional well-being were clearly prioritized as he was taken for lots of leisurely walks and spent so much time being pet and cuddled. I know he thoroughly enjoyed his stay, as he returned home visibly content, relaxed and generally very happy.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our pup Koda! We had a last minute need for a new sitter over the holidays and Jennifer was truly a life-saver! She sent many photos and updates of our pup while we were away and he was so well taken care of by her, and he came home happy and healthy. Would highly recommend Jennifer - thank you!”
“Lauren and her family took great care of Roxy. She sent us updates and it gave us so much relief as we were worrying about our baby. We’ll definitely use her again when we’re in the area”
“We could tell upon meeting Cymantha that she's a caring second momma to our old guy (almost 12!) And a true animal lover! Her home is set up well for young and old dogs alike and we get nice updates and pictures of him having fun which is reassuring to us as pet parents. Cooper didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave and seemed pretty at home when we came to pick him up which is telling if how comfortable he was. Thank you so much for caring for our old guy!”
“Jamie was very timely in responding to me and sent me photos and updates. My dog Ollie felt right at home immediately and marched right in. Jamie and Joseph were obviously very familiar with caring for dogs, including noticing the little things, like wiping dogs eyes at the corners which I do. The house was clean and the neighborhood is quiet. I feel absolutely comfortable with having Ollie boarded with them and will be using their services again.”
“Angela was amazing with our dog, Gryffin! This was our first experience with Rover, and she made it all so easy. She shared pictures of Gryf while we were gone, and we could tell he loved staying with her!”
“We had a great experience with Angela and her kind son! They took wonderful care of Bo for two days and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bo came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We've already booked for them to watch Bo again and I recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and kind pet sitters.”
“Susan was incredible! She was accommodating with our needs and requests. Our dog fell in love right away! Her property was awesome and our dog didn’t seem to want to leave! Thank you Susan, for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay! Alexis took great care of him in her home, sent updates and photos, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely book with her again — thank you for taking such great care of Chauncey! :)”
“David’s property is big and beautiful, and full of happy dogs! David is very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be booking dog sitting with him again. Thanks, David!!”
“We just moved into the area, and I needed someone to take Zara while the movers were in the house. Catherine made it easy, and Zara was a happy camper after I picked her up. I will be bringing her back!”

“Blake was incredible with my cat Kali and my roommates cat Oliver. My cat needs medication twice a day and she can be a difficult cat to give medication. Blake updated me each visit and she got Kali to take her med each time. I really appreciated how much she tried with Kali to take her medication. I was also so grateful to have a cat sitter that could drop in twice a day for my baby. Blake also let us know so much information about how the cats were doing and how feeding was going. And she gave us so many pictures from each visit. I usually use my cameras to check on my cats but I didn’t feel like I needed to because she gave such amazing updates. I felt so comfortable about how they were doing. Thank you for being so awesome Blake!”
“Gina took amazing care of our fur baby! She was super communicative, friendly, and took amazing pictures while we were away. Our shy kitty loved her immediately! Definitely will ask her to pet sit for us again. 💛”
“Olivia was great, professional, and accommodating. She was also forward thinking and trying to tend to more than was ever requested of her. I will definitely be looking to purchase her services again in the near future!!”
“Erin has provided the best Rover experience I have had by far. She was on time everyday, provided several photos of my pet and wrote a fun, unique update every session. 100% would book again.”
“Cora Leigh took wonderful care of our two girl cats for 2 weeks. She is very communicative, reliable, caring, and trustworthy. One of our girl cats is experiencing health issues but Cora Leigh was very accommodating. We are so happy and thankful for everything she has done. She’s the best pet sitter, we & our community as a whole, are fortunate to have her services available. Thank you so much Cora!✨?✨”
“Melissa once again exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was well cared for while I was away. She provided detailed updates with cute pictures every time. I will be going back to her as much as possible!”
About: I’ve had experience caring for cats for many years and understand that every cat has their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I’ve cared for both indoor and outdoor cats in the past. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping you updated with messages and photos.
“Oli did a great job with her visits. We especially appreciated getting the photos of Perseus during her visits. It gave us peace of mind to know he was being well taken care of while we were away.”
“Madeline is a great pet sitter. She is a great and fast communicator, she took great care of my cats, and sent pictures of them everyday. If I go out of town again, I will definitely request her help again!”
“Excellent! I really appreciated Holly's concern for Gray and extra search efforts in getting my wayward cat back into the house, after I foolishly let her out before my trip. Holly became good friends with Gray, gave her lots of affection and noticed issues with Gray's cat food which I had not. Holly also offered to evacuate Gray if needed during the recent Sonoma County fires. I recommend Holly to anyone who wants a caring and conscientious pet sitter. She did a wonderful job :-)”
“Michael was fantastic. He gave us regular updates and went above and beyond with providing care to our cats. We would love to work with him again in the future.”
“Thank you, Maddie, for taking such good care of Marinara! She gave our cat lots of love and attention while we were away. It has been hard to find a reliable pet sitter, so we are so glad to have found Maddie. She is trustworthy, a great communicator, and very sweet. We will definitely have Maddie back!”
“Laura was fantastic. She spent time getting Tigerlilly, who isn't used to strangers, comfortable. It was our first time leaving the cats for more than 12 hours so we really enjoyed seeing photos of the cats. Laura also noticed that the litter needed to be totally changed and undertook doing that, which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Laura as a pet sitter, she is a lovely person!”
“The best house sitter we've had in years. I'm fastidious by nature, and it's hard for us to find someone who's not only able to take good care of our precious kitties, but someone who can also return our home to the neat-as-a-pin state we left it in. Ariel was quick and clear in her communications, and followed through on everything she said she'd do. It was a pleasure to work with her. We will certainly cross our fingers and hope she's available the next time we go out of town.”
“An amazing sitter! Our cats warmed right up to her and she provided exceptional service! It feels so nice to know our cats were well taken care of while we were away ❤️🥹 Thank you!”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our two cats. She was attentive and provided great photos of them for us during the day. She was so respectful and took great care of our home as well. Cannot recommend Rebecca and her services enough.”

“Saved my butt when traveling through the region and needed a dog sitter for the day. My Jef was happy and comfortable, and I could tell he had affection for Heather when we left.”
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”
“Christina was great! She was very communicative throughout Gibson’s stay, ensuring his safety and keeping to his routine. He was a happy tired pup when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Christina, and would be happy to rebook her of/when there’s a need!”
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.
“My pug LOVES spending time at Lauren and Ben’s house playing with all the dogs or just lounging on the floor. When we arrive, he tugs hard on his leash to get inside. It’s wonderful to know that when he’s away from home, he’s safe and happy in their care.”
“Jen was great! We dropped Cooper off for the day and felt very comfortable leaving, knowing he was in great hands! Her two dogs were very sweet and were great companions for Cooper during his day there. When we picked Cooper up it was obvious he had a great day and was well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back again when we are in the area.”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”
“Jennifer took such great care of my little guy! She kept me informed the whole stay and provided photo updates. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and would definitely book her for future stays.”
“Angela and her son were super accommodating with a last-minute request to dog sit. I felt like my pup was well cared for, and they were both super communicative and quick to respond. Highly recommend Angela for watching your furry friends.”
“I didn’t expect to need someone to watch our dogs for the day but they ended up having a little vacation of their own! Thank you sooo much! They were both happy when we picked up and we would plan a trip this way just so they could have a fun day with David again. While we had our own little vacation both our dogs did as well.”
“Kellie & Nate were so great to work with! They welcomed our dog in right away like he was part of the family. He got along super well with their dogs and really enjoyed their fenced yard. We really appreciated their caring attention to detail -- our dog can get an upset stomach easily, so it meant a lot that they made sure he didn't get any outside food etc. When we picked him up he was a very happy dog, which was such a good sign since he can get very anxious at times. So glad we got to meet Kellie & Nate, and hope we get to book dog-sitting with them again!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and the list goes on! I'm comfortable around all animals, and I absolutely adore them all! I go to school full time, but I do not have classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I can be available between classes on Wednesday and Thursday. There's lots of room for flexibility in my schedule. I will follow all instructions the owner provides. I can crate animals, take them on walks, feed, and water them, and keep them entertained throughout the day.
“Sarah and Matt are a great match for our little pooch who gets overwhelmed by high energy and large dogs. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and great communicators.”
“Earl is great with flexibility, last minute bookings, and was gracious about my being almost ten minutes late due to traffic. His rate is very affordable and I really appreciated how my dog wasn’t left alone in the home. In terms of communication, I didn’t get much in terms of updates but was provided one when I asked how my dog wasn’t left doing. I also didn’t receive any check in pictures, which isn’t a big deal but always nice. I appreciate Earl and his brother Rob for their help!”
“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”
“The best! We were so relaxed being able to leave Toto with Lucy and her family. The meet and greet was easy and drop off and pick up was quick too. Thanks so much and I hope next time we are in town we can look for your help again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Washoe
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Sebastian did a fantastic job walking my dog! He was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend Sebastian!”
About: I have lots of practical experience with dogs. I have owned dogs my whole life and have dog sat for family and friends. I am able to do all of the necessary tasks in order to take care of your furry friend, up to and including: playtime, feedings, walks, and cleaning up after them. I do work a full time job but I do have some flexibility on the weekdays/weekends. Wednesday: anytime after 1pm Friday: 11:30-12:39, and after 4:30pm Saturday: anytime after 12pm Sunday: available all day I am not able to offer my home for pet care as I rent the home I live in and my landlord does not allow any pets. I am able to come to your home, so long as detailed instructions on how to care for your pet are provided.
“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”
“Blake is so good with our two young, high strung dogs. On the days they go on walks with her, they are so much happier when we get home from work and behave much better after getting some energy out during the day. Blake is patient, kind, communicative and trustworthy. Thank you ❤️”
“Michael has been great walking my Lab/Husky mix Ripley while I've been injured and unable to get him out, even taking him to the local dog park to play. Michael is prompt, professional, and responds to messages and booking requests quickly. Ripley is very excited to see him when he comes, and returns home very happy. We've already booked additional walks. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa is amazing; she is punctual, communicative, friendly, and my pets adore her! I am never worried when I leave my pets in her care; I know they are well taken care of and that means the world to me. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sarah is such a loving and caring person with my dog. He absolutely loves her and her kids! She always keeps me updated on everything that’s going on with him and responds to every single one of my messages super quickly. I can tell he is happy, safe, and well cared for with her. I would definitely trust her with my dog again without hesitation. Highly recommend Sarah! ❤️🐶”
“Thank you, Amanda for always taking such great care of Bella, keeping an eye on her aging and alerting us to changes you’re seeing. We know she’s in great hands and enjoys her special time with you each day.”
About: I've had the privilege of being a dog mom for the last 13 years which lands me a ton of experience caring for dogs but I love caring for all animals! I'm currently freelancing part time and have the flexibility (especially during the day) to make house calls and go for daily walks. I'm also available weekends! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and strive to provide a comfortable and nurturing environment. I ensure that their basic needs and give them tons of attention and affection, engaging in playtime and cuddles to keep them mentally and emotionally stimulated. Overall, my goal is to create a loving and reliable caregiving experience for pets.
“Daphne enjoyed her walk with Nikki! Our pup is nervous with new people and Nikki took the time to get to know her and let Daphne get comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for both cats and dogs have always brought me a lot of joy. Growing up I always had cats and dogs in the house at all times. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make pets so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help animals feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type. As a mainly remote working professional, I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits and walks throughout the day. I can easily fit care into my routine while updating parents with photos and messages along the way. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. As an owner with specific pet routines of my own, I know that each pet has their own preferences and comfort level that I pay close attention to. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication and peace of mind so you can be present while you're away knowing your pet is in good hands.
