About: I've had my own dogs, cats, horses and chickens. I've been pet sitting for a few years now. I try to go on as many walks as possible and even bring them to work if the family is ok with it. I love animals of all ages! I have a full-time job but I can work from home 3 days a week. So I have plenty of free time to go out for walks or simply let them outside. I will make sure they get the attention they need. If they are outside I won't leave them out after dark on their own. Lock all doors for other furry visitors. Make sure they have a comfortable bed. Sometimes sleep together if it's ok with the parents. Have lots of toys and time for walks and play.
“Mariah was so attentive and took extra care with my cat and bird. It was such a good experience to know that she was watching after them while I was away. I highly recommend her and will request her in the future. Thank you, Mariah!”
About: Hi! My dog Enzo and I enjoy hiking around Tahoe. I would love to take your fur friend on all of the adventures with us! I usually spend my days off wandering in the woods and playing at the lake. My ideal day may include a morning hike, evening walk, lake sunset, porch relaxing, reading/Netflix at bedtime with dog cuddles. I can offer as much or as little activity as needed, feeding times flexible, house rules flexible (furniture/no furniture, crate/free roaming) depending on your home routines. I would also be more than happy to take care of your pups while you’re out of town. Enzo and I can come to your place, or your dog can stay with us at ours. I work as an emergency room nurse so my shifts are variable, but I have four days off each week. When I am not working, I am able to be with the dogs doing dog adventures all day long! I am often off work for a week at a time. My schedule is variable because I work in health care. When I am not at the hospital working, I can dedicate the whole day to hanging with the pups Dogs will stay in the house with frequent potty breaks. We have a morning and evening walk each day at the very least - most days I try to spend the majority of the day outside with hikes and lake days
“Erika saved the day and hungout with our pups and gave them tons of love while we were away! She sent photos and was so easy to coordinate and communicate with. Thanks again, Erika!”

About: I grew up caring for household pets & greatly enjoyed it. I am a dedicated animal lover, with years of experience in dog walking, playing, and general loving care for friends and family’s pets. I feel strongly that animals need to get sufficient play time in order to feel properly nourished in their lives. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with muzzles & dogs with special needs. I have been house and pet sitting across the country on & off for the last 5 years. I am an entrepreneur & work from home. My schedule is flexible & I can almost always adapt to your scheduling needs. I am currently in between vehicles and relying primarily on public transportation & the local shuttle system at this time. Many of my repeat clients offer me a vehicle or bike to use during my time caring for their pets if it is necessary for the duties I’ll be performing. I have been on Trusted Housesitters for over 4 years with excellent reviews and experiences. I have also house and pet sit for many friends and family. Given my large resume of experience, I decided to start on Rover to get paid for the excellent care that I offer. While staying in your home, I will treat your home like my own. Keeping all spaces clean and tidy for you to come back to. If you have any boundaries in your home please let me know, so I can be sure to respect all house rules. I am comfortable sleeping with animals on the beds or off, depending, of course, on how large the bed is if it’s an overnight sit. I will enjoy exploring your area and take any pups who need exercise on some beautiful hikes and adventures!
About: Dedicated animal lover, grown up with animals my whole life. Here to provide a loving and attentive experience for your animal. Medication administration, cat sitting, dog walking, or senior care, whatever it is I’m here to make your life easier and ensure the happiness and safety of your pet while you’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup/cat while you’re away! I’m available for boarding anytime or day of the week except Mondays. Please provide any necessities needed for your pet! (crate, toys, treats, food). I live 10 minutes from the cutest dog park to get all your pups zoomies out. If dog parks are a no zone, I live in a quiet and attentive home in Tahoe Donner to take your pup on a beautiful walk. I have no pets of my own to give lots of your pet attention!
“Cierra was incredible. She helped take care of Howie Sonny and Gator while we got married. I would 100% recommend her again in the future. Next time I need someone in Truckee I would go with her every time.”
About: Hello, my name is Zac. I am an avid animal lover who enjoys looking after and taking care of animals. I have worked as an Assistant Manager attendant at Dr Daves Doggie day care, and a Veterinary Technician for the past 11 years; more recently working at Sierra Pet Clinic for 6yrs. I would like to offer my sitting and walking services to anyone who needs them. Play time and walks are always a must! Being with animals is a passion of mine, and if you would like someone who loves animals, will treat your furry family member as one of their own - I’m your guy. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I m excited to work with you & your furry friend! I am in the midst of a career change from clinic work to field work in ecology, supporting fish hatcheries. Thus my schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to accommodate more clientele at this time. I offer in-house sits at your home, and ensure meet-and-greets are scheduled first to ensure both you and your animal feel comfortable and safe with my care.
About: Ive had dogs all my life and I've cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and ages. My dog Jax is a testament to the quality of love and care I provide. Caring for your pets is my full time job. I tailor my care to your pets energy level to ensure they have an excellent stay. I split my time between my home in Meyers and the tahoe valley campground where there is a great dog park for your pets. My dog Jax is an 8 year old Lab mix with the perfect temperament, he welcomes every guest into our home with warmth.
About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!
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: Hi! I grew up on a working family homestead in Oregon, where caring for animals was a natural part of daily life. My mother also ran a pet grooming Business for over 10 years, where I learned how to handle pets that’s aren’t my own. I also worked for a year at petsmart as a groomer/bather myself. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after everything from livestock to house pets—but dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve personally cared for several beloved cats and dogs throughout my life, and I currently share my home with two wonderful cats. I’m especially experienced with Bengal cats, thanks to years of house- and cat-sitting for my sister, who breeds them. At times, I’ve cared for more than 12 cats at once, including administering medications—even to squirmy kittens! It’s not always glamorous, but I’m calm, patient, and confident when it comes to animal care. I’m deeply attuned to animals’ needs and take pride in being gentle, observant, and responsive. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and happy while you're away. I love animals of all shapes and sizes (though I’ll admit reptiles and bugs aren’t quite my thing). I’d be honored to care for your furry friend and look forward to meeting them soon! ** ➡️ I want to also mention that my husband, typically joins me if there’s an extended stay booked. I always make sure to communicate about this- some animals have an aversion to men, so I take care to double check with you to make sure this is ok. He also has a lot of experience caring for animals in general, but is an excellent partner in caring for our two kitties and with his past experiences growing up with dogs and many other animals on a farm in Europe, he is a wonderful pet care partner! ❤️ we look forward to serving you and your pets! I have an open schedule. I work for myself doing Lyft and Uber in the area so I don’t mind traveling and make my own schedule! At this time I don’t offer boarding. We have two cats, and don’t want to stress them out. I do, however, have lots of experience house sitting with pets and always leave a place better than I found it and take full responsibility for our pets environment and needs. I am tidy and will clean up any spills or messes made by me or your buddy.
About: I will care for and love your pets as if they’re my own. And I hope most professional sitters would! I am here to meet yourself and your pets where you are at! And with patience, love and positive reinforcement. I would be willing to care for animals of all types—nothing is off the table. As long as it’s safe! Always open for discussion.😊 I am flexible and happy to assist; I would be honored to be your trusted, communicative, attentive, detail oriented pet caretaker. I also can even do a little light housekeeping, if needed. Everything is always open for discussion. This “gig” makes me happy and gives me fulfillment outside of Real Estate. Which, by the way…I am always here for questions about that too. Pets feel most comfortable in their home. Especially if you’re away. I’m here for you all.🫶🏼 Can’t wait to meet you! A little about me: I am a realtor and love my job! But with being a solo-caretaker of my elderly grandmother, this seems to be flexible. My schedule is mostly incredibly flexible, especially if planned in advance. I’m also great for last minute saves if things fell through with your normal pet sitter! I will meet you and your pet exactly where you are at! Anything that is out of my scope of comfort will be clearly communicated in advance or as needed. I am all about open communication on both sides. I can’t help if you don’t tell me what you need! If I can’t provide it, I certainly usually know someone who could. And that goes for a lot of things. Looking to build trusting relationships with pets and their humans! I am flexible on any changes or needs you and your pets may have. I’ve cared for puppies up to senior pups for long periods of time for clients and happy to share those references upon request. The only thing I can’t provide is a place for your pets in my home but I’m always open to yours which generally seems to be ideal. Just ask.🩷 Which both

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alpine Meadows is $34 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 538 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alpine Meadows. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
