“Melissa is amazing! She worked with my bulldog and all of his puppy needs and was so very patient. She kept me updated and sent me photos and videos when I was a bit nervous to leave him for the first time. She was so understanding and caring to him. I am so thankful I didn't have to worry about my Hank while I was away. 100% recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs 🤍 she is a lovely human and I applaud her for being able to be so flexible with my dog as this was his first time being watched by someone else! Thank you Melissa and her family for watching my fur baby!”

About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I love animals. I have been trying to find something to earn a bit of extra income to help pay for a new porch and pay off huge medical debt from cancer and a bone marrow transplant and thought I might as well get to see adorable dogs in the process. I am off for the summer as my normal 9-5 is teaching 7th graders Life Science. I’ve been doing that for 21 years. I figure if I can wrangle 180 7th graders well enough to be the Nevada Teacher of the Year and a national award winner then I can apply those same principals and wrangle your animals. I am dog and cat cpr trained. I work M- Th teaching and am home F-Su. The only reason I don’t watch animals at my home is I have two dogs, a Japanese Chin named Tonks and a Boston Terrier named Cronk and I don’t want your animal to have to get used to them and stress out more. I also don’t have a fenced in yard. My boys are not runners so there isn’t a need to have one. If you would like me to watch your animal in my home please know, I don’t have the best home or the typical Elko/Spring Creek gorgeous places. I lost everything to cancer and now I’ve in what I could pay off that couldn’t be taken from me: a double wide home on land in spring creek. If your okay with that then your fur baby is more than welcome to come hang with us. I will care for your pets the way you would like me to. I will stick to your schedule with feeding and potty and walking routines. I will do whatever you need me to do to keep your pet happy.

“Alexis is a true professional! She loves animals and it shows! She took great care of my dogs, and went above and beyond any of my expectations. My husband and I were grateful to be able to leave for the weekend with the peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands! Thank you Alexis! Highly recommend!”

“Lilli did a wonderful job looking after my 2 cats! She went above and beyond what I asked for. She shared pics of my very shy Leo at every visit. Ledger however, was determined to remain out of the spotlight! I will definitely use Lilli in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking to use Rover services!”

About: My wife and I truly enjoy animals and are dedicated to ensuring they are well cared for. Proverbs 12:10 says, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals..." and we take this to heart. Aside from asking our dogs "who's a good boy?", we love engaging in playtime, fetch, and going for runs and hikes with them. Choose me for a pawsitively purrfect pet care experience where your pet's happiness and health are our utmost priority! I work as a team with my wife who is a homemaker, so we can adapt to meet most any schedule needs. I personally work a Monday - Thursday schedule, from 6am - 4pm. In our home, we offer a variety of secure and pet-friendly spaces. We have a small fenced area for safe outdoor play, a large kennel for cozy rest, and we have both a primary house and a mother-in-law house that can be used for pet care. Additionally, we have open acreage available for supervised exploration and exercise, providing plenty of space for pets to run and play. When caring for pets in client's homes, we follow their established routines and environments to ensure pets feel comfortable.

“Melissa was very thoughtful in her care of Dexter. He can be very particular, but she went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable with her. Will book with her again in the future!”

About: I grew up on a ranch and have had several dogs throughout my life. I’ve taken dog training courses and am very familiar with how to handle many different breeds!:) I have a flexible schedule right now. My mornings are typically open, so I am happy to get your dog out the house early in the morning. I have a fenced yard and do not have any dogs living with me at the moment which means there will be no worries of any conflict.
About: My first job was to walk a neighbors dog who could no longer do it herself. I have had dogs for most of my life and they are amazing. I currently only accept being able to do drop in visits and walks. I have 2 kids that will be with me but they know to leave cats or dogs until they are comfortable with them. I give all animals the attention and time they need. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have a pretty flexible schedule that I am available to help get dogs and cats the attention that they need while your away. I will keep the pets as comfortable with me as I can. I plan on allowing dogs to get their walks in that they need and for their energy to be let out. I also know cats all have unique personalities and I would adjust how I would interact with them accordingly.
About: Grew up with teacup chihuahuas and came to own large dogs and a cat! I am experienced with all age animals. I am even experienced in reptile care! I took vet tech courses in high school, so I have basic knowledge of animal/breed health problems. I am completely open! I am currently painting to occupy time, otherwise taking care of your pets is my top priority. I can be flexible with all needs! I care and treat animals with love and respect. Although my pets are fully trained and I trust them, they are wild animals. I am knowledgeable about their body language, so I can respect their boundaries and space. I know these are your babies, and they will get just as much love from me as you give them. Same goes for your home!

“OUTSTANDING services provided by Marissa and Jonathan! Anna instantly felt at ease with them and their fur babies. On her next visit, she didn't want to leave! Thanks Marissa and Jonathan!”


“We were in town for a funeral and Melissa took care of Moose for a couple hours while we attended both the funeral and a family dinner the night before. Things could not have gone more smoothly. She was flexible and accommodated us when we wanted to extend his care last minute. Moose came back tuckered out and adjusted well to his time with Melissa. Highly recommend her care! Thank you Melissa!”

“So glad to have Marisa and Johnathan walk out dogs while away on vacation. They are so kind and timely! The dogs were so happy to see them for their walks!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages since I was a kid. Family and friends have often relied on me to feed, walk, and hang out with their pets while they are away. I prefer to have written/typed instructions to reference while I care for your fur baby. I can be available for pet sitting on weekends upon request. If that’s what you need, please ask and we can see if it works! Aside from taking care of my own fur baby, my schedule is pretty flexible due to the amount of work available this time of year, so I am available most days (and weekends upon request)! I have a senior cat named Dexter who is very particular about how he receives affection, as well as his food and toys that he likes to play with. This sweet boy has shown me just how important it is to prioritize a pet’s boundaries so that they can be healthy and happy. I always follow exactly what a pet parent has asked me to do regarding the care of their pets.
“Solid walk, my dog took off with her instantly and came back tired out! Natalie sent her fitness app info for that time and had walked over 2 miles with my Rhodesian/Pit mix. Best walk he’s had in months and best night of sleep I’ve gotten.”
“Lilli SAVED us last minute! The power went out in our RV and we were over an hour away. I was worried about the dogs being too hot. She showed up in 20 minutes and took care of them! I am SO grateful!!! 🙏”

I will do anything that the pets owner needs me to do for their pet.

“My older dog is SO skiddish and reactive and really takes a confident walker to get him warmed up! Melissa did amazing at engaging with him and giving him his space for him to warm up to her on the first 30 minute walk. Highly recommended”

About: I was born on a farm. I drank goats milk and ate grass with the cows lol. All the animals were drawn to me at a early age. As I grew up I had many different reptiles like water monitor and I had huge iguanas, snakes, tarantula,ferret, bird, cats and dogs although my years. My kids are grown and now I would like to pet sit and paint. I am also Certified as a Dog Massage Therapist I am open and available and i would love to Pet sit for the rest of my days to give tender loving car for pets in need of services I would greet the angel or angels with open arms and love on them or all of them. Take them potty right way and spend some time out side if there a yard and play. Then I would feed them and make sure they have plenty of water. Sit down and take to them and give them attention. Make them settle down as I give them a message to go to sleep and go

About: I am a huge animal lover. While my husband and kids are at work. Please let me walk your lovely pup and enjoy the adventure as they chase a squirrel and drag me along! I enjoy the loving energy and joy I get from spending time with dogs! I grew up with 2 labs, one golden one chocolate and then later a brittany spaniel. I do have some experience with a peekapoo and smaller breeds as well. I'm flexible work wise and energy depending on what they need from me. Needless to say, if they have a favorite nearby park or place they prefer to walk I would love to get to know what makes them comfortable. Take a chance on me, I'm kind hearted and love dogs! I have two dogs that I love dearly. Because I work from home Petcare fits naturally into my schedule. Every morning we get up together go outside for a potty break come back in and have breakfast then throughout the day I let them outside in a fenced yard in order to get some exercise. I am sure their water is full and if they seem like they want it we go for a walk. At the end of the day they get their second meal some training and treats throughout the day. We have a fenced yard . When I'm in a client's home I am sure I'm respectful of their space and focus solely on their fur babies. If they request bathing of the puppies or anything like that I am sure I clean up after. I like to leave the home like I was never there. Except for a happy dog obviously I'm working part time with a flexible schedule so based on your needs I can stop by, take pups for a walk and play for a bit :) As a dog mom of 2 I understand the slobbery snuggles and play. I always respect house rules, with or without shoes, requests on what to do when.

“Jazz was great! She was super flexible when we had to rebook and I appreciated her paying attention to the heat and suggesting an earlier time. I could tell immediately that she was familiar with dogs and knew how to keep them from the "naughty" behaviors we've been working on in training (jumping, pulling, etc). Toby had a great time with her and she provided a lot of photos of his walk. Looking forward to having her come again!”

About: Hello, I've been taking care of other people's pets since I was a little mostly for friends and neighbors I started branching out to coworkers. I'm currently a stay at home Truckers Wife, & animal mom of 2 border collies, 3 cats, & a bunny. My availability is opened. House Sitting would depend on my husbands schedule & where you're located I always make sure my pets and those I sit for have food and water. I always make sure animals can go out to go to the bathroom. I spoil with treats & love from pettings to playtime.
About: As a former special education teacher, I was throughly vetted and trusted with some of our societies most vulnerable members. I bring patiences, calm and structure that's been cultivated during my 22 years teaching. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take this year off and spend it with your fur babies! I'm currently taking a sabbatical! I can't think of a better way to spend it than with animals. Currently living the good life! My days and schedules are devoted to pet care! I have a fully fenced yard. An extra large crate if needed. We also have a gazebo for outdoor puppy naps and two dog water fountains. My puppy is by far the most welcoming and loving little guy, he loves to meet new friends with kisses and toys!
