Dog Sitting Verdi

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!

About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.

“Miranda did two drop visits for me this week for my dog Stella. She came by, and let her outside, and played with her for a bit. Exactly what Stella needs to break up her long days when I have to be at work for extended length of time. I really appreciate it.”

About: I'm so happy with my choice to transition to travel nursing, but I miss having dogs in my life! I'm looking to walk furry friends as I get to know the local area and serve your community. My work (and recreation) schedule varies, so I may not be able to commit to a set routine, but I'm happy to jump in and walk your pupper when I can! Please let me know what your rules are for your dog and what kind of behavior I can expect from them. Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they go bonkers for squirrels? Gobble up sidewalk trash like a Rumba? Is every morning walk going to be a 3-pooper? Let me know! :-) For long hikes, I will keep your dog leashed until I know them well and have your permission for them to be off-leash.

About: I have owned and cared for all pets from dogs and cats to horses and chickens my whole life. I have experience taking friends and neighbors dogs on regular walks or hikes. I always treat them as if they were my own and love building a bond with them. I also have experience house sitting and caring for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated high school and have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs. I can’t wait to meet you furry family members! Recently graduated and have a very open and flexible schedule. Days, nights, weekends and holidays. I can work around your schedule to make it work. I am comfortable caring for pets on a strict routine or with diet needs. I construct my routes based on your pets needs, not one size fits all. If you have a puppy needing to get some energy out, we can run or hike. If you have an older pet just wanting to stay active, a leisurely walk with shade and breaks as needed will be best. There is no request I can’t work with.

About: I helped my mom take care of 4 boxers growing up which we bought as puppies. I love taking care and watching my friend’s pets. I am also an experienced RN just taking a break from nursing. I will treat your pet as family. I am willing to fit your pet care in to my daily routine. Some times I have trouble waking up in the morning but I am motivated to make money right now. I don’t think having pets in my home would be best. My normal job is RN, moved here from PA, taking some time to collect myself in between jobs and find a travel assignment that works for me. I will treat your pet like it is my family. Thank you for your interest and consideration.

About: 1st ingredient is passion! Ive had a love for animals since is was a kid. After high school I went to school in Manhattan and worked walking dogs and was hooked. I Went on to get my certification in basic obedience training. I have worked on and off my whole life with dogs it is truly the best job in the world to me. All the years that i have been with dogs all my clients say I am trustworthy, reliable and will go beyond the call of duty to help animals. My main objective whenever I take on an animal of any kind is Safety First! I always evaluate the animal to see how it responds to its owner and then how it responds to me and then how we respond together as a pack. Even if the client tells me their animal is okay to walk with me with other animals if I sense any sort of tension I will say no. Dogs do not have the ability to reason that's why it is very very important to speak their language and sometimes that takes a lot of patience which I have because of my devotion. I am recently retired, 2 years now. That gives me a free week including weekends to provide love and care for all fur babies in need. My entire condominium is set up for Doggy Daycare and it's wonderful it's very welcoming! There are quite a few walking paths in the neighborhood! I live in a 2 story condo with 2 private balcony's. I am on the end unit and have that side of yard (not fenced) to myself. I installed 3 separate auger tie-out cables into the ground., each 30 ft. The condo association takes care of the yard so it is well maintained. This is roughly a 10 unit dwelling surrounded by houses. 75% familys. We also have our own park. walking path and a field dedicated to dogs. I live up against BLM land so there is an awesome path to walk up as well. At Doggie Daycare they all know when it's time to go for there afternoon walks it is the cutest thing to watch them go to the front door and wait. I'm old school and still live by "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" And " treat it like it was your own" I believe all living things and non should be treated with respect. I can assure you lots of play time and love!

About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

About: I have been working with animals my entire adult life, for the last 5 years. I have experience working in veterinary offices, as well as caring for senior and disabled pets in a home setting. I am available any day of the week at most hours. I am happy to go for a long walk or throw the ball for a high energy pet, or do a midday check-in for an elderly or disabled pet who just needs some extra attention. I find working with animals very fulfilling, and I would love to care for your pet! I am an online college student, so my schedule is very open for daytime dog walking and other drop in visits. I am available weekdays on short notice, and weekends with a few days notice. I am confident in reading animal body language and taking cues from pets so that they feel safe. I am happy to do repeated visits as long as I have met the owner once and have been able to communicate about your expectations and needs.

About: I've been the go-to call for dog sitting for all my friends and family for the last 10 years (since high school). I've done simple checkups/walks as well as lengthy multi-week stays taking care of as many as 4 dogs at a time. I am a full-time worker, but in a quiet time of business so I have fairly flexible hours. I am an early riser so I am available from 7-9am, I have flexibility at my job for a lengthy lunch around 11-1pm, and I'm available virtually every weekday after 5pm during the week as well. I am also available on weekends for visits and boarding! I live in an apartment with a dog park in a great walking neighborhood, so while I can't keep your dogs in a yard, exercise is not a problem and my apartment is very pet friendly. I'm also very open and accommodating if your pet has any specific needs!

About: Hi, my name is Natalie! I'm a senior at the University of Nevada-Reno studying computer science and engineering, planning to begin my Masters in electrical engineering next fall. I'm on the track & field and cross country team here, and I do rigorous training for it! Hoping to take a dog or two on my runs! While I didn’t have the oppotunity to grow up with pets in the house, I did have a lot of beloved animals that I looked after while their owners were away. I was a routine dog-walker for a few family friends until they recently moved away. My dad adopted three adorable cats a few years ago, and I’ve gained lots of valuable experience learning about animal behaviors and cat care from them! I live a very active lifestyle, I run about 7 miles per day, and I love hiking in the Sierras. While my dad's cats can’t come with me, I’d love to take a dog (or leash-trained cat) along with me on a run! Hoping to meet your pets soon! Currently, my schedule consists of classes and cross country training in the early morning through early afternoon on weekdays. I have breaks in my schedule, so I’m free for pet loving almost all of the time! When pet-sitting, I’m always attentive of pets and their behaviors. I understand this is not my home, so I make sure to be respectful of house rules and stay clean.

About: I have taken care of dogs, pretty much my whole life, and have experience with all sorts of dogs. From golden retrievers to dobermans, pit bulls, chihuahuas, and German shepherds, I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and dogs and am able to handle and care for all of them in the ways they need. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed a Fear Free Certification. I have trained all of the dogs I have taken care of and am very dedicated to making sure that they are well taken care of. When they are your best friend, they deserve the best. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of love and care, and will be played with, and walked around to give them the socialization and exercise they need and want. I currently work full time, but have weekends off, and can sometimes do evenings, and love to spend my free time with pets. I fit pet care into my weekly routine by caring for a german shepherd weekly. I provide care for the pets by taking them on walks, and following any other normal care that the pet would typically require. I have 2 five year old german shepherds, as well as a 13 year old cat, so I am well equipped in dealing with multiple pets as well.

About: I currently live in a two downstair bedroom apartment with access to the patio and yard. I currently have one dog, a Norwegian Elkhound. We go for about 1hrs walks daily and go out hiking almost every weekend. I have experience with all sizes (small, medium, large, x-large). I also babysat several of my friends' dogs at my apartment and I have also gone to their houses to dog sit. I have also done multiple walks with multiple dogs. I am willing to walk multiple dogs, go to someone's house to house sit/ dog sit, and willing to dog sit overnight for multiple days. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns for me. I work full time from 8-5 M-F. But I'll sometimes come home for lunch and if required I can always come home to take the dog out. I can also dog walk during the day as I use it for my lunch time. I try to make them as comfortable as I can. If staying with me, I have multiple dog beds, water bowls, and toys they can use. I have a big crate if that is needed. I also have gates to block off areas that they get into or where they don't need to be in. I do live downstairs and access to the patio and yard. I always leash them if we are going out this way since it isn't fenced.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years where I got to groom, feed and watch over dogs who would get dropped off for boarding or day care. I was also responsible for administering medication. I worked with all kinds of dogs no matter the size and have experience caring for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently working part time doing rehabilitation training for dogs with people aggression/fearfulness and dog aggression/fearfulness. I am very comfortable dealing with working with all types of dogs and I have proficient experience walking and handling large and or reactive dogs in high traffic areas. I currently have very open availability as I am on break from school so I am able to care for your dog anytime you need I always make sure to keep an eye on your dog at all times and spend as much time as I can with them. I will always make sure to do everything on time like walks, feeding, and if necessary medication

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13 and now i’m 21! Spending time with animals is so fun for me:) I am home in Reno for the summer and looking to spend time with your pets! I’m free the whole summer besides a few trips but I would love to spend some time with your pets! I go back to school in late September, so as of right now this is a summer job for me:) I have 2 dogs of my own that will keep your pet company if needed. My house has a fenced in dog run specifically for going to the bathroom and a very calm neighborhood for walks! I have also been dog sitting for other families for a majority of my life.

“Julie did a great job on a drop on Vista and walk with Diva. She communicated very well by sending pictures and updates. Diva had a great time walking with Julie down to the park.”

“I couldn't have been happier with the service provided by Alexius. She really came through for me when my neighbor canceled last minute. She was very professional and a pleasure to meet. Lula also loved her which is the most important. She is also a Vet tech so you know she's passionate about animals and knows the signs and symptoms if your pet happens to be under the weather while you're gone. Don't think twice about booking her, if she can watch your pet you'll be very pleased and so will your pet!”
