Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lockwood
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lockwood
“This was my first time using Rover for overnight boarding of my two puppies. I was pleasantly surprised with Farrah! She was responsive and provided good updates on my furbabies. Her location is in a VERY nice part of town. I would book with her again because she took great care of my furbabies.”
“Ivy took great care of our boy! She sent us pictures and messages about how he was doing. He appeared happy and healthy upon pick up. Ivy has a big back yard that worked well with our energetic and active Labrador. I would highly recommend Ivy as a trusted pet sitter!”
“Very communicative and took great care of our pup! It was my first time leaving our dog with someone else and she did an OUTSTANDING job, our dog settled in quick and had a great time. Thank you!”
“This is our third time having Brittany watch our dogs. She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and we never have to worry when we leave the dogs with her. She was amazing with them, as always!”
“Laura was terrific with Millie. She made certain Millie ate even to the point of hand feeding Millie in the beginning of the nine day stay. Laura gave daily reviews. She gave the medication as needed. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Shana and her family took excellent care of our sweet girl. They have a couple dogs of their own who are friendly and non-combatant with visitors, so our 9-year-old mixed breed female had a very full and exciting stay. We got a couple pictures while she stayed with Shana, along with nice comments about how she was getting along with everybody. We are very pleased and recommend Shana for anyone looking for a pet sitter in the Sparks area.”
“Samantha is truly the best! Every time I leave my pups with Sam, I have complete peace of mind knowing she and her family will treat my fur babies as their own. It’s such a blessing to know my pups are loved, safe, and genuinely cared for while we’re away.”
“Crystal is amazing! She sent me several pictures and videos of our dog. He stayed several nights and looked relaxed. He went out on adventures which I loved seeing! Thankful!!!”
“We loved Wendy! Gus was so happy with her. She was very caring, accommodating, and easy to get in contact with. She has a wonderful home with a dog friendly yard. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gus with Wendy again. Wendy consistently went above and beyond. We are so grateful.”
“Lisa was amazing with sending us consistent updates of our Lucy! It made us feel very comfortable and confident that she was having a great time. Would definitely book again!”
“Boomer had a great time with Christina and her family. She sent pics of him while he was in her care which made us feel even more comfortable leaving him. We would definitely leave him with Christina again.”
“So happy we found Kendra! We are new to the area and had to find a new sitter. Kendra was reassuring our pup would be in good hands, asked all the right questions to ensure she could give good care, and was flexible with our schedule. Our girl enjoyed her stay and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“Kat and Corey were wonderful! They took excellent care of our special-needs bulldog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, dependable sitters!”
“Millie had another great stay with Destiny! We received daily updates with photos and videos and Destiny was always easy to communicate with. She was super accommodating with an early drop off time due to our early flight departure and helped us feel at ease through our whole trip :)”

Cat caregivers near you - Lockwood
About: I had a childhood cat, named Midnight for 5 years. I also took care of the other 3 cats in my parent's home. One that was a short-legged cat named Mufasta and gave birth to a litter of kittens that I was also in charge of. There is an old friend who I watched their Maine Coon inside my home for a month. I only had my Ava at the time and had to keep them separated due to the Maine Coon being violent towards other animals and my children. Even though it was rough and suffered deep injuries in my left leg in the end. I stuck through keeping the cat for that entire month because my friend needed time to get a new home situated.
“Alex was an absolute lifesaver when she helped me out last minute with watching my dog, Shadow! She was amazing from start to finish. Super flexible about meeting up, really listened to what I was looking for, and went above and beyond spending extra time playing with Shadow and giving him lots of love. She even gave some extra love to our cats.Shadow absolutely loved making a new friend, and I couldn’t be happier that I found Alex. I’ll 100% be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”
“Janet did a great job we were very happy with the care she provided for my kitties. We would definitely use her again we loved all the pictures she sent us. Always responded to my text. She is very nice and my babies liked her even Milo who is afraid of people.”
“Natalie was an excellent choice for watching my cat while I was gone. She was very responsive and sweet. She sent a ton of pictures of my cat which I really appreciated because I tend to get very anxious about her. I would 100% recommend her as your sitter. Thanks Natalie!”
“Lilian did a great job to take care and be with our fur baby Jimmy. I won’t take a second thoughts of leaving my baby with her on our next vacation.”
About: I grew up with cats and was responsible for taking care of their needs growing up. I currently have two cats of my own who are very spoiled, and have watched cats for several friends over the past few years when they need to get out of town. I understand how to match a cats energy, whether it is a hyper kitty or an elderly cat that needs a calm approach.
“Nina was amazing! We had her drop by to take care of our cats & feed and water them and she followed our instructions to a T. Not to mention she took some super beautiful pictures of our cats! Thanks so much - we'll definitely book Nina again next time we're out of town.”
“Amazing, dog sat for me last minute and her attention to detail was very comforting. I felt very safe, leaving my dog with her and I’m very grateful that she was able to take care of Indy. If needed I will definitely hire her again. Thanks Shelby”
“Jennifer communicated how long the walk went, what business the dogs did on their walk, how long she was with them and sent us pictures. Hands down the best dog sitter!!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting cats for the past 10 years and have experience caring for different personalities, routines, and needs. Having dogs and cats of my own has given me a strong understanding of how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets keep their usual routine so they feel at home.
About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities for several years. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, administer basic care, and make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while they’re away!
“Last minute my cat got a cold. She was able to administer medication for cold as well as insulin. In contact daily and I was very comfortable. My home was immaculate when I returned. I even had a few Christmas cookies waiting for me. I would not use anyone else!! I will be her best return customer”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lockwood
“Destiny is AWESOME!!! She is truly an expert but also has a special doggie superpower! The level of care and attention to detail is unmatched. She is communicative and very attentive to not only your pups needs- but also the anxious dog dad's needs. PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire this (actual) expert to care for your fur baby!”
“Brittany was great! Very good communication. Sent pictures of my pup during the day and was mindful of my old girl’s joints, making sure she didn’t play too hard. Would definitely use Brittany again!”
“Sarah was so friendly, accommodating and communicative! Even before we spent a full day with Sarah, our pup sprinted to her. Talk about a green flag! We really appreciated Sarah rescheduling our meet and greet a few times as well since the holidays are such a busy time.”
“Lauren was so amazing! We had to find someone very quickly to watch our little one and Lauren was so accosting. Our little guy had such a great time and Lauren and her family were very friendly and amazing people. 5 stars all around!”
“Billie and William are just the nicest people. This was my 2nd time using them, when we pulled up to the house my dog started doing her Happy wiggle and honking! She loves going to see them and I feel extremely comfortable knowing she is happy and well taken care of! A+ care all the way around! I definitely recommend using them.”
“Samantha took great care of my pup, Leo! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and took him a 30 minute walk! He had fun playing with other dogs and I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and my husband and I live in Reno, Nevada. We're entrepreneurs with a flexible schedule and love taking care of dogs. I had a black lab for 15 years and have watched many dogs over the years, including internationally with Trusted Housesitters, where I am background-checked and reviewed. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. We work from home and are flexible most days! Our weeks tend to vary, but we are great at communicating with the pet parent to find times that work for everyone. We have a three-story townhome next to the Wildcreek Golf Course and Melody Lane Park. We have two patios at our house for outside time, and take regular walks. Lots of space for roaming.
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Young did a great job making me and my dog Finn feel comfortable in new surroundings. Lots of communication throughout the day with photos and videos showing how Finn was doing. Young really cares about his clients and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is comfortable. It was a great experience and we will be using Young again for day care and boarding.”

“Janet came through for us again! This time I had 2 walks booked a couple weeks out. The day before each walk, she texted to let me know she would be there as scheduled. Such a nice thing to do!”
“Angie walked my two labradors twice a week while I recovered from knee surgery. She was always punctual, and communicative as needed. My dogs loved walking with her, and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Carrie is awesome. When I sent her a message, she responded back super fast and is great about communicating when she can or cannot walk my dog. She is always punctual and has a wonderful personality. 😊”
About: I had a dog from the ages of 2 to 15. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to get a new one since then (I am 20 now), and I miss having a pup around! I learned how to take care of her from a very young age, and I also have experience with dog sitting for friends as well as babysitting my nieces regularly. I currently work part-time with consistent 8 hour shifts on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm and a occasionally a few shorter shifts throughout the week. This makes me available to be hanging out with your dog Sundays through Thursdays for majority of the day, and before and after work Friday and Saturday! I grew up with dogs that I no longer have, and I've pet sat for friends and family many times! I also am an aunt to two toddler girls that I watch fairly consistently. I figure that if I can handle those crazy girls, I can handle your crazy dogs! I can follow exact instructions to ensure you know what kind of care I will be providing, and I can also just use my experience and knowledge of keeping babies alive!
“JayJay did a great job. I was on the other side of the country and felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog. Her daily updates gave me a sense of security that my fur baby was in good hands.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! He has quickly become such an important part of Zara’s routine. The second she realizes he’s at the door to pick her up, she completely loses her mind with excitement—it’s the sweetest thing to watch. She absolutely adores him, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. He is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. Knowing Zara is happy, loved, and so excited to spend time with him gives me complete peace of mind. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your dog, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found him!”

Having dogs and cats of my own has given me a strong understanding of how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets keep their usual routine so they feel at home.

I will ensure your pet is well cared for while you're away, providing them with plenty of attention and care. They are family afterall.
“Tabetha exceeded expectations by providing captivating pictures and videos of the walks. This thoughtful touch not only kept you informed about Kuma's activities but also allowed you to witness the enjoyable moments during each walk. The visual updates added a level of transparency and reassurance, enhancing the overall experience of using Tabetha's dog walking service. The meet and greet with her dogs demonstrated Tabetha's commitment to creating a sociable environment for Kuma. Allowing Kuma to socialize during walks with Tabetha's dogs is a testament to her understanding of canine behavior and the importance of positive interactions. This approach goes beyond a simple walk, fostering a sense of community and companionship for Kuma during the outings. Kuma's enthusiastic playtime with Tabetha's German Shepherd underscores the effectiveness of Tabetha's ability to manage and integrate dogs within a group. The positive experience of play reflects on Tabetha's skills in curating compatible playgroups and ensuring that each dog, including Kuma, has a great time. Tabetha's dog walking service stands out for its commitment to communication, socialization, and creating a joyful environment for furry companions.”

About: Hi, I’m Kiara! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or making sure your pet gets fed and cared for on schedule, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own—lots of attention, cuddles, and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll make sure your pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. I’m currently unemployed and a new first time mommy just trying to make ends meet. I am available 24/7 and I am okay with last minute bookings! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they stay on their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean up after them, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. For dogs, that means plenty of walks, playtime, and belly rubs to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, that could be play with their favorite toys, brushing, or just quiet company for more independent kitties. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a shy cat who just needs gentle care. I’ll keep food and litter/walk areas tidy, follow your instructions closely, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Dayle is amazing! From the moment she walked in to meet my often difficult Kali girl, I knew it would be a good fit. Kali instantly jumped on her and gave kisses.. Which she doesn't often do! I went to an all day event and needed someone to just take her out a couple times. Dayle was great about flexible scheduling and making it work. And she's just an amazing human all around! I will definitely seek her out next time I need some help.”

“The best. Kind and patient with our pets even though one of them was not being his best while staying there. Walked our two dogs, took them on car rides, and a trip to Petco while we were gone. Thank you! ♥️”
“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.”
“Kathryn was very relaxed and experienced for taking care of my dog ZuZu. She has a good home environment for ZuZu and no issues during the time I was out. I got three pictures everyday from Kathryn. ZuZu was happy with her. I would use her service again in the future!”
