Dog Walkers in Washoe Valley, NV

About: I have always grown up with pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish…even a reptile or two!) I adopted my pup, Hurley, nearly 15 years ago and it has been one of my joys to have her in my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, helping you practice any training you might be working on with your pooch, dispensing medications and other care needs, as well as keeping your furry friend safe if they have any anxieties or other difficult behaviors. While I am not a trainer, I have kept up regular formal, positive reinforcement training with my dog and we’ve also taken lots of fun classes like agility and nose training—meaning I know lots of fun games to keep your pup engaged during my visit. I am a freelance consultant so my days tend to be pretty flexible. I am generally available throughout the day to care for your pooch. I am an attentive care-giver. I will follow all instructions, ensure your dog is safe in its environment—whether we are walking or playing. I have experience with dogs with medical or other special needs and will always ask about your preferences for care.

About: Over the years I’ve learned how much trust and attention it takes to make every animal feel safe, happy and loved. My dog Luna reminds me of that every single day! Currently not working. I want to follow my heart into professional pet care, by spending over two decades in customer service, property management and small business owner. When going out for walks I always have my dog or friends dog on the leash at all times. I keep my eyes open when approaching other dogs and look for their body language or behaviors.

About: Hi, I’m Kayana! - Certified belly rub specialist 😊 I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember. As an animal lover, I treat every pet like part of my own family. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting getting to know each of your little loved ones. I bring hands-on experience, caring for dogs and other pets with a wide range of needs. I’m extremely comfortable following all detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and handling medications when needed. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and dependable care every time. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. Hope to meet you and your pets soon! 🤍 I currently work a full time 8-5 Tuesday-Saturday, however, I do still have flexibility in my work routine. Outside of work, my schedule is very much open to meeting the needs of your fur babies! I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone new. Rest assured, safety, and trust come first in everything I do. I create a calm, safe space where pets can relax. I follow routines carefully, stay alert during walks and visits, and provide a secure and loving environment. I respect your home, communicate, clearly, and make sure you always feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

“Kat truly went above and beyond while caring for our girls over the weekend. Luna and Popis absolutely fell in love with her! She was punctual, respectful, and took the time to really understand our daily routines by asking thoughtful questions. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates while we were out of town—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she was always easy and pleasant to talk to. Kat was our first Rover pet sitter, and she exceeded all expectations. We would absolutely book her again, and our girls would be thrilled to see her!”

About: Hi! I have always owned pets growing up. Both cats and dogs! I’ve used Rover for a few years now and I think it’s so fun to get to meet new furry friends. I’m on top of their schedules and always make enough room in mine to spend a good amount of time with the ones I’m looking after. I just recently moved to Melbourne, Florida! I’m in the military currently stationed at Patrick Air Force Base and I love the area. I work weekdays only and my schedule is always the same. Weekdays are 7:30-4:00 and an hour lunch. I’m also available on weekends anytime pretty much all day! I won’t be able to watch dogs in my own home being that I live on base. I had to move away from my pets.

About: I'm a dog lover who's been caring for dogs since I was 10. My first boxer was with me from when she was a puppy, and I handled everything—walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and even taking care of her paws when she got cuts. We later adopted another boxer, and I gave her the same love and attention, including medical care when needed. I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and making sure they’re happy and well-cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, I’d love to help. I work full-time, but during my spare time, I would love to care for your dog. I’m available on weekdays after 6 PM, and I have flexible availability on weekends. I'll take care of your pet in your home, following your instructions to make sure they're comfortable. I’ll keep things clean, respect your space, and keep you updated.

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets for almost the entirety of my life--dogs, cats, rabbits, birds--you name it and I have had them as friends. I've also taken care of large houses, farms, and gardens over the last decade. Most recently I became a cat foster mom helping socialize cats and kittens while giving them a loving transitional space before they find their furever homes. As much as I love pets I don't currently have one so I have plenty of availability for yours! The dog on my profile is my mom’s, I sometimes help her find care for him. I'm a writer so I work from home, freeing me up for all kinds of fur family adventures and care taking opportunities. Since I'm home you can be sure that your fur baby will be well watched and loved upon. I'm available seven days a week. As a responisble, professional house sitter, I have house sat homes and farms all over the world and I treat each space with the utmost care. I ensure that each home is returned in the same condition it was given to me in, fresh sheets and all. I treat every pet like they're a member of my family because they're a member of yours. I learn the personalities of each fur baby and accommodate them as necessary. I have experience with senior pets as well as special needs pets and those with quirky personalities--it just makes them all the more lovable to me!

About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.

About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can request any day but we’d have to discuss the time that works best for the both of us. We can work it out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs that something might be off.

“Super helpful and awesome when I needed help last minute! Would highly recommend”

About: Hi, I'm Shaylin. I'm a recent grad in the USC area with a flexible schedule and genuine love for dogs — I've pet sat through Rover before and I'm back on the platform for dog walking through mid-May. I'll show up on time, send you photos and updates, and treat your dog like I'd want mine treated — patient on leash, attentive, and happy to match their pace whether that's a sniff-walk or a real workout. I'm traveling internationally starting May 18, so I'm best for clients who need walks in the next few weeks or who are open to a great walker for a defined window. If that works for you, I'd love to meet your pup. I am available to house sit and am happy to stay in your home at night if that makes your animal the most comfortable. I can drop in or go out for a walk throughout the day -- very flexible schedule. I would love to meet you and your animal before the stay if I am house sitting, or dropping in. I am happy to meet your pet the day of for walks. I understand that every animal and home is unique - I would love to be acquainted with your preferences.

“Rachel and Dylan are awesome! They respond quickly. They take great care of our fur babies! I can tell they actually enjoy our dogs and I feel like my dogs are happier when we get home compared to others in the past! We will definitely try to book them when we need our next Rover!!!”

“Thanks Faith. Mocha says she was very excited to see you and enjoyed her walks. Thanks for the promptness and the updates, we’ll be calling you when go out of town again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve fed, walked, and bathed dogs for family, friends and neighbors. I now have my own cat and am just as much of a dog person as I am a cat person! I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! Any day, any time; my schedule is super open at the moment, as college doesn’t start back up until late August. I can’t think of a better way to spend my day than with animals. I’m happy to sit at home with your pets or take them out on adventures. Animals deserve to be treated with kindness and love, and I’m happy to provide.

“Fantastic! Cody immediately liked Hannah and was happy to spend time with her. Thanks for taking great care of Cody, Hannah!”
