“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Ron is a treasure. I was very hesitant to leave my 2 year old pup with someone, but felt confident with Ron after our first interview. His home is neat, clean, and pet friendly with a beautiful, safe backyard. Our first booking was for 3 days to orient my Charlie-girl to Ron, preceding the 2 upcoming long stays I have booked. Total success! Ron sent pictures and comments each day and it was clear that Charlie was getting superior care. Ron is loving and cares for his boarders, and his dog Lexi is very patient with having another dog in the house getting attention.”
“Ronnie and his little pups are wonderful! He’s very caring and gentle with my blind senior dog. My young puppy loved playing with his dogs. My boys had a great time and will be back again.”
“Excellent pet sitter. High energy and joyful. Takes great Care of my 7 pound dachshund. Carries her around in a doggy backpack, takes her on hikes and walks. Wonderful!”
“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!”
“Danielle was awesome with our pups! They were clearly excited and rightfully spoiled during the holidays. Felt comfortable and at ease having the dogs with her especially with the regular updates. She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Amazing people! I left my puppers with them for 2 days and they sent pics and updates constantly which was great especially because my dog is so skiddish with new people at first! Thankful to have had them board Athena 😊”
“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.”

“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.”
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.
“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.”
“I so appreciate Sherina's attentiveness and care for my kitty and for my space! I know both are in really great hands with her, and I'm grateful to have such a kind and reliable 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.”
“Rebekkah did great caring for our cat Zephyr while we were out of town for almost two weeks. She even washed and dried our clothes that Zephyr peed on. We were nervous first time parents, and Rebekkah kept him safe and fed while sending us silly photos.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Khine was great, our cats are usually very shy but they immediately seemed to feel comfortable with Khine. She was very helpful and went above and beyond to take care of our cats.”
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.
“Hallie was amazing, she took great care of my 5 boy cats. Very communicative and sent updated photos of each animal every day. I will definitely be booking with Hallie again and referring to anyone I know looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Given my background in veterinary medicine I feel very confident when working with both cats and dogs. I understand that cats need time and space so introducing myself will go slow and at your pets pace. No matter if your kitty is friendly and loves pets or reserved and needs space I’m ready to provide the utmost loving care to your furry companion.
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.
“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!”
“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”

“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.”
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.

“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.

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 absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!

“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: I've had dogs almost my entire childhood from small pomeranians to rottweilers. I currently don't own any since my apartment would feel small with a dog but I would love yo dogsit for anyone who doesn't want their dog or cat to be alone. My wife is home all day so your dogs would get the exercise they need and all the love and attention they would want as she too grew up around dogs if any size. Same day appointments are available as are same day cancellations. Feel free to email me if you have questions. References available. I currently work full time but do have days off for therapy sessions for a past injury. My wife would be caring for pets if I am not available in my stead and she is great with animals. She also has references if needed. We can persist any day of the week with an advanced notice for weekends and holidays. I live in an apartment but there is a park nearby if your dog needs exercise. I also have a patio in case they just want to sit/lay in the shade/sun. Everything that could be dangerous towards dogs would be put away
