“Mari had another great stay with Ron! We really appreciate the daily updates, photos, and all the TLC Ron gives our pup. Leaving our dog behind is always hard, but it makes us happy to know she is in good hands and has a big yard to romp around in.”

“Our dog Lavender had a wonderful stay with Kristen. We received helpful updates with great photos throughout her time there. Kristen was very also responsive and accommodating while our trip plans changed. We would highly recommend her and plan to bring our dog back again :)”

“I’ll be honest, Chelsea didn’t have a ton of reviews when I first reached out, so I was a little hesitant at first, especially since our previous dog sitter moved away and Blue is truly our baby. I’m so grateful I decided to take a chance because Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she was kind, communicative, and very flexible, which immediately made me feel at ease. Throughout our week-long vacation, she sent regular updates and photos that meant so much to me and made it easy to relax knowing Blue was happy and well cared for. He settled in so naturally that it felt like he was staying with family, not just a sitter. Coming home to a happy, calm dog confirmed everything. It was clear she treated him with so much love and attention. Chelsea is someone who genuinely cares about animals and takes great pride in what she does. I felt incredibly safe leaving Blue in her care and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust and feel confident with.”

“My older beagle stayed here for a full week. There were other small dogs there, which was fun for her I think! The house was clearly set up for dog sitting, with a doggy door into the yard, a gated area near the kitchen, and double handles on the front door so nobody sneaks out 😊 I didn't feel worried at all during Bella's time there, and she came home happy and rested!”

“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!”

“Aaron was great! He took Ollie for the first time while we were traveling through Reno for a concert. He was kind and had a nice home and nice area for Ollie to hang out and plenty of trails in the area for him to walk! Thanks!”

“Theo had an active, delightful day with Danielle. Danielle sent me pictures and text throughout the day to let me know how my boy was doing. Danielle is so kind and really understood the personality of my terrier. Just a wonderful experience all around.”

“Brittany is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos and the dogs looked happy and content as though they were in their own home. I will definitely be bringing our dogs back to stay with Britney.”
“Very fast at responding - felt safe dropping my newly adopted dog for her first ever night away from home. I enjoyed Sarah having the presence of other dogs for socialization. 10/10 would return again with Chloe :)”


“Karly and Emily were really wonderful and I had no hesitation leaving our little Cairn with them overnight. They were very responsive and I appreciate their communication throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, relaxed and in full tail-wag mode when we picked him up -- he had clearly had a great time with Karly & Emily. Will definitely call Karly & Emily in future!”

“I had a last minute need to take care of my Sadie and nearly cancelled my trip! From the moment Wendy responded to my request I felt absolute comfort leaving my baby with her! The entire time she communicated with me and sent pictures of Sadie and her DARLING golden, Wilbur, together having the time of her life! I’m not sure who had more fun on vacation; me or Sadie?! Your baby will be well taken care of with Wendy 💕 I hit the jackpot finding her !”


“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”

“Crystal and Riley took such great care of my dog while I was away! They were very friendly and were able to accommodate different pick up and drop off times when my schedule changed unexpectedly. I received a lot of pictures and frequent communication, and even some treats to take home! My pup was full of smiles his whole stay. We will definitely be returning, I would highly recommend Crystal and Riley to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their dogs.”


“WOW!!! Emily is a pure angel! I couldn't have found anyone better to take care of our baby! Emily is a sweetheart and very caring & gentle with our dog Max. He took to her immediately and felt right at home. I will definitely book Emily again! Thank you Emily! We'll be back!”


“Maria is wonderful and our Sammy had a great time with her and her family. We appreciated all the updates and photos to know he was settling in well. We will definitely use Maria in the future.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Laura! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. When we picked him up, it was clear how happy and well cared for he had been—his tail was wagging, he was calm, and honestly, he seemed like he had just returned from his own little vacation! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Thank you, Laura, for taking such great care of our pup. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dog Sitters Above and Beyond! I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care gave to my dog, Enzo. They treated him like one of their own took him on a few walks, playing with him and their sweet dog, and making sure he felt completely at home. It’s rare to find people who not only care for your pet but also go out of their way to make the experience special for both dog and owner. Enzo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for warm, responsible, and genuinely kind dog sitters. Thank you for being so wonderful to Enzo and to us!”

“I feel so confident letting Khine watch over our Sophia kitty, she really puts in the extra effort and loves her like her own. She played new music genres and animal documentaries every day and sent so many pictures and videos of our sweet girl playing. It can be stressful to go on trips without our babies but Khine really helps alleviate that stress!”


“MK managed to get both my cats to take their pills with no trouble, a minor miracle! MK pays attention to every detail and really works hard to make our cats happy and comfortable while we’re gone.”


“Catherine did a fantastic job with my cats during their drop-in visits. They were well-fed, cared for, and I loved getting the updates and photos. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away.”

“Kiley brought our 2 kittens out of their shell in no time. She seemed really in-tuned with their needs and was able to make them comfortable in the short time she was here. Our female kitten, Ember, is usually quite guarded so for her to be out playing the entire time says a lot. Thank you, Kiley for taking such great care of our kitties!”

“Gabrielle checked on our cat while we were out of town. I got lots of photos and updates from her! I know Benjamin had a great time, we will definitely use Gabrielle in the future!”

“I recently gave my cat to Ronnie for the evening and couldn’t be happier! He is clearly very experienced with animals and shows so much love and care when he has them. I will definitely be calling him in the future and I reccomend you do too!”


“I am always relieved when Cyndi can take care of Bella, my cat, in my absence. I always hate leaving her, but with Cyndi I know she will be loved & cared for until I return.”


About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of animals since I was a child. I am a dog mom to a big rescue dog named Jimmy. I love the outdoors and going for walks. I have experience working with shelter animals who have had a tough transition into their forever homes. I also have experience in senior dogs as well as end of life care for our fur family members I currently work from home so if you need someone to come and sit with your babies I am free to do so. I have all mornings/ early afternoons off through the week. Tuesdays I work early but am off at 11am and am free after that. Weekends I’m fully open. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a dog myself. I live close to trails and the Rancho San Rafael dog park. I also am flexible in whatever your pers needs are
About: I am a passionate dog walker committed to delivering tailored walks, fostering joy and exercise for furry companions while prioritizing their safety and happiness. I have been walking dogs for at least 10 years, starting in college over my summer breaks and since then I have watched/walked dogs on and off throughout my graduate program. I am trustworthy, and reliable, and am dedicated to treating your fur baby/babies as my own. I am a new Physical Therapist just trying to pay off her loans ASAP! I am also an avid dog-lover without a dog of my own so I am looking for a fun and fluffy friend to fulfill these needs! My schedule of availability is currently subjected to mornings and evenings at this time. I will care for your pets as you see fit and promise to keep your animals safe in my care. I also love to send pictures to the owner in order to keep them updated on their baby's whereabouts and activities.
About: I have four dogs from 10 pounds to 150 pounds, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! I love taking care of animals so much that I wanted to be a vet when I was younger. I’m working part time and going to school so I should have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats! I have two days off a week, as well! I am happy to follow any instructions for your dog’s care, I know it’s not one size fits all! Please let me know of any special commands your dog has, and I’ll be sure to try and work on them with them!

About: I've housesat multiple different cats across the years, from my parents' orange cat, to roommates' cats. I've administered shots for cats in the past, and have been around enough personalities to know when to tend to them, and when to give them space.

“Sherina went above and beyond taking care of my fur babies. I will absolutely look to Sherina again and greatly appreciate her excellent communication and skill around working with my sugar gliders and cats.”

“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.”


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.

“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.”


“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”


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!
“Kevin is amazing!!!! I messaged him last minute before a quick day trip and I kid you not he responded in less than 3 minutes and was at my door to meet my dog and myself within the next 30. Beyond punctual, friendly and kind. 10/10 experience and would absolutely book again!”


“Michael was amazing caring for Chloe and also being respectful of the space. He spent time with Chloe and played, provided food and loads of love. I would definitely get his care again for Chloe.”

“Cameron and Amanda took great care of Emmy while I was on a work trip to Reno. Their dog Mitchell is a total sweetheart and their home is clean and set up well for hosting pups. My dog is a little big introverted so I appreciate that they don't take on too many dogs at once. Communication was prompt and friendly, would definitely recommend them!”

“Kristen was a BLESSING! We had a same day request and she was able to come through! She was accommodating, flexible, affordable, friendly, easy to communicate with and took such great care of our boy! He had the BEST time! I definitely recommend booking with Kristen in the future! 🤍”

“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!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. growing up, our family dogs weren’t just pets, they were part of the family. From early morning walks to lazy afternoons on the couch, I learned from a young age just how much love and care dogs truly deserve. One of the biggest perks of booking with us? My wife and I both work from home full time, which means your dog is never left alone. There’s always a friendly face around, whether they’re looking for a cuddle during a coffee break or a backyard play session in the afternoon. That lifelong bond with dogs is what makes us pet sitters you can trust. When your dog is in our care, they’re not just being watched they’re being enjoyed. We make it a priority to give every pup plenty of playtime, belly rubs, and one on one attention so they feel right at home even when you’re away. We know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, and we take that responsibility seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and a happy, tired pup when you return. 🐾 Living with our own Australian Shepherd means pet care is already woven into everything we do. Your dog will enjoy a natural mix of scheduled walks and feeding times, plus plenty of spontaneous play sessions, cuddle breaks, and backyard adventures in between. With one of us always nearby, we’re able to respond to whatever your pup needs, whenever they need it! no waiting, no rushing. It’s just part of our normal day. 🐾 When it comes to your dog’s safety and comfort, we’ve got it covered. Our large, fully fenced backyard gives your pup plenty of room to run, explore, and burn off energy, all in a secure environment where you never have to worry about them wandering off. Inside, your dog will have a spacious home to relax in, and with my wife or I here almost around the clock, they’re never left alone or unsupervised. You can rest easy knowing there’s always someone attentive nearby. We’re also proud to have a pet friendly Australian Shepherd of our own, so your dog will have a built in buddy to play with! Our Aussie is well socialized and loves making new friends, making the transition to our home stress free and fun for visiting dogs. From the moment your pup arrives to the moment you’re reunited, their safety, happiness, and comfort are our top priority. 🐾
“I knew Fyna had a great day. She is totally tuckered out. Michelle sent many pictures and took Fyna on 3 walks. Thanks Michelle for Fyna's great time”


“My pup actually starts to “freak out” when we get close in the car and she rushes to get to their door. My doggo gives the ladies five stars!”

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’ve had the pleasure of providing reliable, loving pet care for over 15 years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. From daily walks and feeding routines to overnight stays and special care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. My long-term clients appreciate my dependability, communication, and the calm, caring environment I provide for their furry family members. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays vary, but generally after 2pm I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass, one very friendly dog to keep yours company, and two dog kennels to crate if needed.
“Brittany is the best! Daisy normally exhibits separation anxiety. Not this time. When I went to pick her up on the second day, I wasn’t sure she wanted to leave! ?. We’re visiting from out of town and will definitely try to rebook before we head back home.”
“Lisa was patient and friendly. Pauli had a such a great time that he actually complained when we picked him up. Will recommend Lisa and will have Lisa help out with Pauli when we are in Reno again!”
“Excellent care! Tum was very flexible in adjusting the request I placed wrong and the dogs stayed with him overnight. Came back tired and very happy! 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.”

“Timber doesn’t love or even like most people or other dogs. But it’s clear they hit it off from the very start. Thanks, Maddie. We look forward to brining her back.”

“Cyndi and her daughter Carson helped me out when I needed a walker for my dog Ollie for the week at the last minute. They were communicative and reliable. I will definitely be contacting them next time I need a dog walker for Ollie and highly recommend them to others.”

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: Hey there! I have recently returned to Rover as a sitter and appreciate your consideration as a potential new friend to your beloved animals! I am a graduate student, work remotely, and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to care for your furry friends. I have had dogs all my life and am very comfortable caring for animals. I currently have a 6-year old Aussie mix named Olive and she is the light of my life. I am always looking for more interaction with animals and I'd be honored to care for yours! I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities and will approach your dog with warmth, care, and deference to their temperament and needs to create a secure connection. I am excellent at following care instructions to assure your pet gets their needs met and beyond. I can provide house-sitting, drop in visits, or walks. I look forward to meeting you! I am a graduate student, work remotely, and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to care for your furry friends. Since I have flexibility, I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities and will approach your dog with warmth, care, and deference to their temperament and needs to create a secure connection. I am excellent at following care instructions to assure your pet gets their needs met and beyond.
“I’m using crutches at the moment and needed someone to walk my dog. This was my first time using Rover; it’s been a great experience. Cat replied to my request quickly and on short notice, which I appreciated. My rescue dog, a terrier mix, is not around other people very often, but he took to Cat immediately and returned happy each of the three days that she walked him. It’s all gone so well that I have another week of walks scheduled with Cat.”

“Kathryn has been reliable and trustworthy with walking my 2 doggies. I really have piece of mind knowing the dogs are going to get great care and a great walk while I'm at work!”

“We are so happy to have met Neesa, she’s always available and promptly helps us with our pets, long walks, follows all directions and goes above and beyond by bringing boxes and trash bins in.”


About: I have been around animals my entire life. This has enabled me to be comfortable with rescues, seniors, puppies, and special needs animals. I have experience pet sitting, dog walking, and with basic dog training. I have three pets of my own, with vast medical and behavioral needs so I am familiar with challenges of all types. I am always willing to learn and strive to do better every day. I will be holding a close to full time job that will take up Most of my mornings (4am - 12pm). This schedule could fluctuate - however I will be steadily available during afternoons and evenings. I have a short commute to Downtown and Midtown Reno so I can optimize time with your pet(s). I plan to offer 30 minute walks but am very open to adjustments on that time based on individual needs. Drop in visits will usually be about 30 minutes to cover all basic needs and give much appreciated attention. Again this can be flexible based on individual pet needs. Safety is a huge part of caring for my own pets, and I plan to carry this to yours. For dog walking education on breeds, energy levels, and health safety standards is something I am always researching. Knowing when weather can negatively impact a pets health, how to safely redirect from potentially dangerous situations, and constantly monitoring your individual pets needs is always my priority. For drop in visits and pet sitting safety is even more paramount. Making sure cats are safe and indoors, all potential chewing and safety hazards are removed, and that every animal is looked over so anything amiss is caught early is essential. Your pets are most comfortable in your own home, and I want to make sure that that comfort is met with high safety measures on my part.
About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.
About: I have four dogs from 10 pounds to 150 pounds, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! I love taking care of animals so much that I wanted to be a vet when I was younger. I’m working part time and going to school so I should have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats! I have two days off a week, as well! I am happy to follow any instructions for your dog’s care, I know it’s not one size fits all! Please let me know of any special commands your dog has, and I’ll be sure to try and work on them with them!
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.

About: I've have taken care of animals since I was in elementary school, I have taken care of reptiles so I'm not afraid of bugs and I've also taken care of dogs and even during covid I had a family member bring me their dogs for 3 months to take care of them. Currently since I moved to reno and looking for a part time job I have a lot of time to be taking care of dogs currently so I don't mind what time it will be. I have two dogs and they are friendly, and I always look out for them weather that's in my backyard or on a hike since currently in reno there seems to be many snakes out there and I would like to keep them safe, but also want them to have fun while being safe.
About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.
About: I grew up my whole life with dogs. Nothing is better then receiving their love when you walk through the door. My home even has it's own dog bathroom, dog run & house which is heated and cooled. I'm a volunteer at Nevada Humane Society. Dogs are the best!!! I'm retired but would like to get outdoors more and nothing better then walking/running a furry buddy next to me. I do have a few PRIVATE customers before I became a Rover emp. So I do try and keep my calendar up to date. I have a fenced yard, dog wash bathroom in my home which leads to a dog run and dog house heated and cooled. I have a nice big backyard that can get your dog tired out!
About: I am the friend who's always called to watch over their pets! I am excited to make sure your fur babies are happy, healthy, and watched over as if my own! I am currently available all days of the week including weekends for 7am-9pm services. I am happy to help inside/outside or wherever I am needed. I will follow house rules to a T and always ensure reciprocal, productive communication with pet parents. If any concerns arise, I am always willing to call and speak directly to you.

About: I am an elementary school teacher in summer break and an animal lover! I have had small dogs all the way up to 110 bull mastiffs. I love elderly pets and bouncy youngsters. I have reptile and fish and chicken experience. Also, abilities to take care of plant pets as well! I have had animals my entire life and have a home full of furry friends today! I’m currently on summer break so my availability is wide open. I’m an early bird who can get those walks in before the heat hits.

“Our dog Lavender had a wonderful stay with Kristen. We received helpful updates with great photos throughout her time there. Kristen was very also responsive and accommodating while our trip plans changed. We would highly recommend her and plan to bring our dog back again :)”

“Aaron was great! He took Ollie for the first time while we were traveling through Reno for a concert. He was kind and had a nice home and nice area for Ollie to hang out and plenty of trails in the area for him to walk! Thanks!”

“Theo had an active, delightful day with Danielle. Danielle sent me pictures and text throughout the day to let me know how my boy was doing. Danielle is so kind and really understood the personality of my terrier. Just a wonderful experience all around.”

“Brittany is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos and the dogs looked happy and content as though they were in their own home. I will definitely be bringing our dogs back to stay with Britney.”
“Very fast at responding - felt safe dropping my newly adopted dog for her first ever night away from home. I enjoyed Sarah having the presence of other dogs for socialization. 10/10 would return again with Chloe :)”


“Karly and Emily were really wonderful and I had no hesitation leaving our little Cairn with them overnight. They were very responsive and I appreciate their communication throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, relaxed and in full tail-wag mode when we picked him up -- he had clearly had a great time with Karly & Emily. Will definitely call Karly & Emily in future!”

“I had a last minute need to take care of my Sadie and nearly cancelled my trip! From the moment Wendy responded to my request I felt absolute comfort leaving my baby with her! The entire time she communicated with me and sent pictures of Sadie and her DARLING golden, Wilbur, together having the time of her life! I’m not sure who had more fun on vacation; me or Sadie?! Your baby will be well taken care of with Wendy 💕 I hit the jackpot finding her !”


“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”

“Crystal and Riley took such great care of my dog while I was away! They were very friendly and were able to accommodate different pick up and drop off times when my schedule changed unexpectedly. I received a lot of pictures and frequent communication, and even some treats to take home! My pup was full of smiles his whole stay. We will definitely be returning, I would highly recommend Crystal and Riley to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their dogs.”


“Maria is wonderful and our Sammy had a great time with her and her family. We appreciated all the updates and photos to know he was settling in well. We will definitely use Maria in the future.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dog Sitters Above and Beyond! I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care gave to my dog, Enzo. They treated him like one of their own took him on a few walks, playing with him and their sweet dog, and making sure he felt completely at home. It’s rare to find people who not only care for your pet but also go out of their way to make the experience special for both dog and owner. Enzo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for warm, responsible, and genuinely kind dog sitters. Thank you for being so wonderful to Enzo and to us!”

“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful. The dogs loved being with her at her home, which was set up beautifully for dogs. They both came home very happy and it just makes our time away so relaxing knowing that our little loves are in the hands of someone as loving and caring as Kathryn. We couldn't be happier with the experience.”

“Shannon and David were a delight to work with; prompt with availability, clear and responsive in communication, and so full of care and attention when watching Willa. For this past trip, I (the primary owner) was out of service and needed to connect Shannon and David with my partner. They were willing to accommodate this secondary contact. They also went above and beyond in picking Willa up from her previous sitter. All of the communication leading up to the trip made me feel like Willa would be in conscientious care and that proved true. Willa was excited to see me when I picked her up, but she also seemed at home and at ease. I highly recommend Shannon and David!”

“Megan was very responsive and took good care of Willow. She kept us posted on Willow’s whereabouts and sent us pictures. It’s reassuring to know our baby is in good hands. I would highly recommend Megan to take care of your pets when you are away. Thanks Megan!!”

“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!”

“Susan took great care of our two pups! She sent lots of pics while we were out of town and was super easy to communicate with. Our pups received lots of love and attention from Susan and her family. Definitely recommend!!”

“I just got peaches about a month ago and was afraid to leave her. Sadie was great. She kept her busy having fun with other dogs and kept her routine for feeding sleep per my request. Peaches seemed very calm with her. Thank you Sadie.”

“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! ♥️”
