“Another comfy stay with Julio. My shy kitty always looks comfy and well taken care of when she stays with Julio & that means a lot to me when I have to travel away from home. Communication is easy and I’m always looking forward to the pictures or videos. Thanks so much again!!!”
“They were awesome!! Super responsive, sent photos of my puppy having the greatest time while I was away for the weekend. He definitely got some great playtime in and I would absolutely recommend them for anyone in Reno!”

“We are recent transplants to Reno so it is always a worry re: finding care for our girl when we are away. Kelly took great care to learn all about Heidi’s care before we booked. Her communication was excellent (she sent photos during the stay and got back to me quickly whenever I checked in). Juneau is obviously a lovely dog and I’m sure Heidi enjoyed having company around. We are so happy to have found a great sitter in our new city”

“From the first moment I made communication with Chelsea through Rover I knew she would be great. I recommend if you want a great experience with Rover. Chelsea is the way to go for a CARING & RELIABLE dog sitter. We explained all of the needs for our senior dog and she provided all the care. My wife and I loved her positive energy and great communication during the whole experience. We will always use Chelsea in the future for our Reno dog sitter. We rate her 5 stars!”
“Laura was very nice to take my last minute request. She sent me daily updates and photos and assured me my dog was doing well. Lastly, she allowed a very late night pick up when my return flight was delayed. All in all, I'm very happy with her service! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough how great Megan was with our pups. She is a good communicator and flexible with the time drop off and pick up. Our pups look happy and having fun at Megan’s house. She sent so many pictures and update without asking for. I’m sure will continue rebook with her as long as she is available for us. I feel so relax when my pups with Megan because I know my pups will have a good time and safe there.”

We were nervous to leave our boys at a local doggie camp due to it potentially feeling like a shelter they once came from. Shanna set up a meet and greet prior to us booking so we knew exactly what to expect. Our boys had a blast with other doggies and Shanna was extremely communicative with frequent updates and photos. She even washed our dog beds and sent our boys away with cute and stylish bandanas. She even paid special care to our senior needs dog. We absolutely will be booking with Shanna in the future!”

“Khine was such an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of all my kitties. They are usually shy but befriended her very quickly!

“Gabby is an amazing pet sitter/caretaker and I will absolutely go straight to Gabby when I need a sitter again! My cat is recovering from an illness which needed careful attention and daily pill administration. Gabby clearly has experience with cats, left very detailed notes, and followed all of my cat's specific care so well! My cat got her pill every day even though she doesn't make it easy! Honestly so impressed and so grateful, Gabby went above and beyond. I felt very reassured knowing my cat had Gabby around to take care of her. Thank you so much, Gabby!”
“Devin was awesome. He was available on very short notice (same day) and was also available to extend the drop in visits off short notice as well with no hesitation. He was consistent with notes, concerns and routes daily & took his time to make sure our dog Juno felt comfortable. We were very pleased with Devin and will be sure to book with him again in the future.”
“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.”
“Emily took fantastic care of my cats, and I got great pictures every day of them having a good time playing with their flirt pole. She's so good I've already booked her for another trip.”
“Natalie is a kitty whisperer. Our kitty is very shy and when we moved he was hiding under blankets, something he hasn't done before. He runs and hides under the bed when there is a new person around. She was able to befriend him on the very first day and give him pets which never happens and now they are best buds. I don't normally leave reviews but wanted other people to know she is a gem.”
“Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.”
“Vivica is awesome! My cat seems to love her, she followed all the directions to take care of him and spent lots of time playing with him and giving him cuddles and love. She even brought the mail in for me. Also she sent me lots of pictures each day that she checked in. I could not have asked for a better sitter to trust with my special kitty ? ❤️ And I’ve already booked her again!”
“Janet accepted this job of checking in on my son’s cats while he was in the hospital and we have been so grateful to her! Her communication and willingness to accommodate us was fantastic. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet, consider Janet! She sent photos from every visit and even helped get more food and litter when we ran out. I live across the country and she was a Godsend!!!”
“I appreciated Sydney's attention to my instructions, her flexibility around me changing the plan some, and her ease & confidence with handling pilling my kitty. She left my home just as I found it, and my kitty was well fed and content upon my return, despite my absence. I'm so grateful for pet sitters like Sydney and definitely recommend her services!”

“We were in Reno and very nervous about leaving our puppy for the day with a sitter. Shawna was incredibly nice and made us feel very welcome and at ease. Our puppy had a fantastic time playing and hanging out with her and slept very well that night. We received pictures throughout the day of updates which was so thoughtful. We will definitely be seeing Shawna when we need a sitter again! We recommend her 100%!! Thank you Shawna!”

Tim shared plenty of videos and photos along the way, I had no doubts they were in the best hands ever. Thank you so much, Tim, hoping to see you again soon.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from house sitting to dog walking since my teenage years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Neighbors, family friends, and family have trusted me to provide exceptional care for their furry companions. My deep love for animals led me to volunteer at the UCD Vet Center during high school, where I assisted veterinarians in hands on care. Later, I dedicated time to shelters like the Davis SPCA and the Pacific Palisades SPCA in Los Angeles, working with rescue animals and learning how to nurture even the most vulnerable pets. Over the years, I’ve rescued and rehabilitated numerous animals, many of whom became cherished members of my family. It’s been an incredible journey watching them thrive, whether it’s a senior dog finding comfort or a shy kitten finally coming out of their shell. My approach is rooted in holistic care, recognizing that diet, environment, and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health. I’ve seen firsthand how natural remedies, proper nutrition, and mindful interaction can transform an animal’s quality of life. Whether your pet needs a lively walk, a playful home visit, or overnight care while you’re traveling, I’d love to be their trusted companion. I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s unique personality, whether that means helping calm anxious pups or adjusting activities for a senior dog with mobility challenges. Feel free to ask me anything—I’m happy to share references or discuss how I can best support your pet’s needs. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged family member and giving them the same love and attention I’ve given animals my whole life! I am currently really flexible with days and hours available. I am working from home right now which allows me this flexibility. Open m- f as well as weekends I have a fenced yard and one dog at home that loves and gets along with all animals and is super friendly. I have plenty of space and separate rooms in the house along with a gate I can put up if your fury love wants a little space of their own for play time!
About: I have a Norweign Elkhound. We go on walks and hikes around the park. I have experience watching small and medium dogs. I am not working right now so I can walk your dog without my dog anytime I will bring baby in a baby carrier I don’t mind going on several walks a day and giving pets love and attention. I can walk your dog as many times as you like With my baby and my Norwegian elkhound but my dog is friendly and if it's boarding just the baby. I can separate the dogs if you like
“Warm and loving environment! My dog is high maintenance but Brittany and her family took wonderful care of my dog and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or doggy day care. Kept me updated with photos and videos as well to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Cameron & Amanda were able to accommodate my long work hours and provided my pup with an safe and fun day away from home! Both Cameron & Amanda’s communication was great for drop off and pick up!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Destiny is an outstanding sitter. This was our pup’s first time staying with someone new. Destiny showed us around her home and described a typical day with her. She also let me know what I would need to bring to keep my pup comfortable. She sent photos which were great to see.”
“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Enero and Angelina! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It wasn't just that she was doing her job—it was obvious from the way she interacted with them that she truly cared about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. Both dogs looked relaxed, happy, and well-loved in every update. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, and we could tell they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would gladly have her watch Enero and Angelina again!”
“Samantha is great! Good communication, replies quickly, and is very friendly. My one year old dog is shy at first but Samantha worked hard to help her feel comfortable. The second time I dropped my dog off, she was so excited to go in to see Samantha. I felt comfortable knowing that my dog was well taken care of and enjoying her time at Samantha's house.”
“Shawn was awesome taking care of my 7m old puppy. From corresponding to drop off, overnight stay and pick up, all were positive. My pup was happy upon pick up. I highly recommend Shawn.”
“Madelyn took great care of Sophie! She took her on a fun hike with the other pups and sent nice photos. We're looking forward to future stays with Madelyn!”

“I’m so pleased I connected with Khine. I have two large dogs, one is high energy boy & one that’s less ambitious, as she has a few more years on her. When we met with Khine, both my dogs liked her and were almost immediately comfortable with her. She is reliable, punctual and is confident handling my dogs. (Handling 2 large dogs is not a small task) I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends me after each visit. I believe Khine genuinely cares about my dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was little!! I had dogs growing up, and have lived with cats since college. I dogsit across my work, and I want to take the opportunity I have with my current work schedule to help owners across the community. I'm good with senior care, as well as deaf and blind dogs, and I work great with puppies and training! I work a part time flexible job, so I have plenty of time to come see your pets, whether mornings, afternoons, or weekends! I'm even available on the fly most of the time! I love to hang out with animals and devote my full attention to them! Whether it be a walk, playing, or just a cuddle on the couch, I love bonding with the animal I'm working with and making them as happy as I can. I'm detail oriented, and will make sure to follow all important rules to a T.
“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!”
“I highly recommend Carson to anyone looking for a dog walker. She is trustworthy, caring, dependable and genuinely kind, Carson walks my pups weekly, and I always have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special care needs. Your pet will always be safe, happy, and cared for with me. I have my own dog as well and would treat your pet like my own!! I currently work on a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can leave work anytime on weekdays to take care of your pet. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of walks, playtime, and love while you’re away! I have A dog park right next to my apartment and one friendly dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines you provide. We have lots of dog toys and go on lots of walks everyday! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have sat for SO MANY families outside of this app over the years and will send you lots of photos of your pup if you want them!
“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!”
About: My family and I have owned pets since I can remember. I am currently 33 with 3 pets of my own, but have grown up with pets in the home my whole childhood. My family always had dogs and cats in our home, and additionally I owned a bearded dragon, fish, and a tortoise that I helped care for daily. Once I moved to college in 2014, I got my first pet of my own. Her name is Stella and she has been with me for the last 12 years. She has lived with me in Oregon, Texas, and now Reno. Additionally, my wife and I have a silly orange cat named Nemo, and a fun/energetic Frenchie named Comet. While living in Texas we adopted another cat with FeLV who also developed diabetes. I have experience giving insulin injections and taking blood glucose readings. I have met and cared for many of my friend’s pets of all ages and sizes and can responsibly provide all daily care for your furry babies as needed. This includes but is not limited to feeding, walking, playing, transporting, giving oral meds, and subcutaneous injections. I currently work as a teacher and have extended breaks during the fall, winter, and summer. During the school year I will have availability during afternoons and evenings for some care activities, and weekends for more. During breaks, if not traveling, and I will have a lot more flexibility daily. Update 06/08: I am currently on summer break from teaching. My weekday availability has been updated with more available times/ services. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 2 dogs and an indoor cat. The pets have access to the entire unit including furniture during the day and when sleeping. Our spare bedroom can be used for your pet if they are more anxious and want separation from the other animals. My dogs are crated when no one is home to supervise, and the cat has full access to the unit at all times. My pets are all friendly towards other dogs and cats. In the past when sitting for animals, I have them fall into the same routines as my animals for walking, feeding, pottying, and crating, unless specified different by the owner. When doing drop ins and house sitting, I follow all instructions left by the owner.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!
“Cyndi (and really her entire family) have been awesome with my two little pups. I got them as rescues so they definitely have separation anxiety when I leave the house for long periods. But I can always easily tell when Cyndi has been by, as they are noticeably calmer and happier when I come home. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello, I'm Devin! I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, having lived with 5 dogs and 3 cats as well as other animals throughout my life. This has given me a strong understanding of their different needs, behaviors, and personalities. I've also lived with a puppy and understand how hard at times it can be to deal with them, but I also understand how fun and worth it, it is. I've also volunteered at SPCA for a summer camp where I learned how to take care of dogs and cats and be around more animals! Although pets are very important to me I must prioritize my classes, which end at the latest 2:30 pm, but after I can push aside anything else to make any cat or dog happy. I love to make a dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I will happily play with any pet and go for walks until that dog or cat is tired, or I can just chill on the couch and relax because I know every animal, just like a human, needs some chill time too.
About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.
