House Sitting in Washoe Valley

“Thank you!!”

“Angie was awesome! She was able to spend the night on short notice and was super sweet with Gus. She kept me updated on how things were going and I came back to a very happy puppy. Thank you!”

“This was our second time using Melissa to watch our two dogs/ house sit while we were away. Just like the first time, she did an outstanding job taking care of our pups and the condo! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure we always knew how things were going. I highly recommend her services.”

“Tanner did such a great job taking care of our little Luke! Tanner was incredibly organized for Luke’s boarding visit. Tanner sent us a google form with useful questions to help make sure important and helpful information was known for Luke’s stay. Tanner was very pleasant to interact with and responsive to check ins. Thank you for your help Tanner! I would definitely reach out again”

“Having recently moved to the area, and after struggling in our previous homes (Carlsbad, CA and Las Vegas) to find Rover sitters who actually cared for our dogs the way we requested (and paid for), we are delighted that we found Mindy for our first overnight away from the dogs in our new home. Although our dogs don't require 24-hour care, they are used to my husband and I working from home and being around most of the time, and we try not to leave them alone for more than 3-5 hours when we go on family outings. Mindy also works remotely and was happy to commit to hanging out at the house the whole holiday weekend. I usually leave a note for the sitter reiterating everything discussed at the meet-and-greet, but I ran out of time to get one done for Mindy before our camping trip. She remembered everything without the note and was quick to respond to texts alerting her to things I forgot to mention in person. Mindy took photos and videos of the dogs throughout the day to document what they were up to; at my request, she just sent me a compilation video at the end of each day, but I know she's willing to send more frequent updates if that's the owner's preference. On the last day of her stay, Mindy emailed me a summary of her observations over the weekend, including meals, walks, potty habits, and playtime behavior, as well as detailing things she loved about their personalities. Though we were already sold on her as our favorite sitter of all time, this email recap provided a huge sense of assurance that we had left the dogs with someone who really cared for them and paid as much attention to their wellbeing as we do. In the past, we've been able to tell when a sitter hadn't fulfilled their duty of care because the dogs were incredible anxious and clingy upon our return. When we arrived home last Sunday, Mindy was still here, and they dogs were the most relaxed they have ever been after we were away. They were excited to greet us, but quickly went back to happily lazing around the house. We have already booked Mindy for another trip next weekend and hope she's always available when we need her!”

“Could not be happier! Everything was great!”

“Anna was absolutely great! She took fantastic care of both our home and our little girl. She very clearly loves dogs and connected so well with ours. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Brittany watched our two dogs. She was simply excellent with the dogs, and very generous with her time. She visited us twice in preparation for a fairly short dog sitting session. She was in contact with us during that day, even giving us photos and a video of our fur babies! She is kind, caring, and extremely thoughtful and clever. The dogs loved her and we plan to use her more in the future. I recommend her ver highly. She was a real gift for our pooches. We are grateful we can now travel the country with peace of mind! Thank you “Miss Brittany”!”

“I have had Michelle watch my miniature dachshund on several occasions now, and she always does an excellent job. She is timely when responding to messages, flexible with times, and I know my dog has a good time because when I drop him off, he doesn't even look back at me as he walks off with her.”

“Taylor was a excellent sitter for my dogs. She worked with me on short notice and was very professional. She sent me plenty of updates on my dogs and gave me peace of mind that they were safe. I highly recommended her.”

“It feels like a catch 22 to share how amazing Heather is because selfishly I don’t want her to be booked so much that she won’t be there for us!! She stayed at our house, hung out with our pups as her own, followed their routines as requested, sent photos, communicated fun stories and a few minor issues that arose, every day I felt confident they were loved and well cared for & were having fun! We will most certainly be booking Heather for our future travel needs! * also she left the house as clean as she found it. Washed the sheets, washed her towels, took out her trash, even the dishwasher had been emptied. Super awesome to come home to happy pups & a clean house!!”

“Vanessa was great! Koda was very happy to have Vanessa stay with him for the weekend. She took him on walks, and kept him company! We will hopefully be able to book Vanessa again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life. From dogs to cats to bunnies and fish. I’m a huge animal person and love to form special bonds with any furry friend I’m currently working part time due to health issues, so I have lots of availability during the week and weekends. This is a side job I due I currently live in an apartment with my blue heeler Sugar who is spoiled rotten. I take the clients animal out to go potty or work on potty training with puppy pads. I feed them, give them treats if that is okay with the client. Then we play and take photos for the rover cards at the end of the service. Followed up with a note detailing what happened during my service

“Natalie did a wonderful job watching our critters and home while we were away! Our sensitive dog adored her, we received lots of photo updates and were regularly in communication. We didn't have to worry once! Thank you, Natalie!!”

“April was responsive and dogs seemed happy when we returned!”

“I have known Sara for several years. She has dog sat for us a few times. She loves her dogs, and has always been attentive to ours. Anytime I need a dog or cat sitter, she will be my first choice. She is dependable, trustworthy and caring. She's everything I want when leaving my dog for a few days.”

“Cassi is beyond exceptional, very respectful towards owners and the pets. She is a natural care giver, and puts the needs of others over her own. Extremely professional and manages time adequately.”

“Kim is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my fur babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy. During our time away Kim sent us photos of our babies having fun which was really nice 🙂 I look forward to booking Kim again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤””

“Very trustworthy. We are repeat customers. Very satisfied with Robert’s services. Our dogs and cats are well taken care of while we are gone.”

“Braden is the only pet sitter I will use from here on out! Whenever he watches my animals (dogs, cats, horses) he follows my directions to a T and always sends frequent updates on them as well as the rest of my house. He does just as well with my horses as he does with my puppy which can be difficult to find recently. The dogs are always excited to see him when he does his drop ins, and can’t contain themselves when he brings his backpack for overnights. My dogs adore him and it brings me joy to see how much they trust him. I trust my dogs judgment (sometimes more than my own) and they have shown me how amazing of a person he really is.”
