House Sitting in Armstrong

About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.

“Liz was great. She cared for our four-year-old Labrador in our home for an over night stay. She was conscious of our dog’s unique needs and personality. We received updates with photos of their walks in the snow. I’d highly recommend her. We will most definitely use her again for our dog and housesitting needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Monica, a Truckee local, animal lover, and pet owner with two cats and a dog of my own. A huge reason why I was interested in doing this is because I know firsthand how hard it can be to find a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter in Tahoe. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and I want people to feel confident that their pets are genuinely cared for while they’re away. I work remotely running my own bookkeeping business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive with the animals I care for. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pets and home with respect. I live an active mountain lifestyle and am great with dogs that love getting outside, but I’m equally happy caring for shy cats, senior pets, or animals that just need calm companionship and consistency. I’ve also spent time involved in ski patrol and search and rescue environments, which I think speaks to the kind of person I am, responsible, calm under pressure, attentive, and safety-oriented. I’m currently building my Rover profile and offering introductory pricing while I establish reviews and relationships with local clients here in Truckee. I promise to care for your animals the same way I’d want someone caring for mine. I am a full-time Truckee resident and work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to check in and play with your pets! Here most weekends as well. I prioritize your pet's well being, adhering to routines and ensuring a clean environment. Trust is paramount; I maintain your pet's space meticulously, respecting privacy, and providing attentive, reliable care.

“Sam was wonderful! Our dog is very apprehensive of new people but immediately took to her. She did a couple meet and greets, which I think helped our dog a lot. She was also very responsive and took great care of our house. We would love to have her again!”

“Averyl was great! she saved the day. we needed someone to watch odin for a few days before our already booked rover sitter. she was amazing, did a meet and greet, was communicative, and even washed the sheets and made the guest room back up for the next sitter! I’d definitely use Averyl again!”

“Emmersyn is a total pro at pet care. She has so much experience and also just loves doing it. She sent so many great updates and photos. It’s so nice not having to worry about our senior cat when we go away. We went to teach her how to give our cat subcutaneous fluids but she already knew how! You’d be lucky to have her!”

Janie H.

“Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.”

Chris H.

“Maddie was great with our dog Sophie. She kept her entertained with many walks and other outdoor activities. She sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. We came home to a very happy dog. Thanks Maddie”

Mary Beth O.

“Aaron was great with Astra! What a kind and gentle person to spend the day with my puppy!! I would definitely have him care for my little pup again!!”

Tammie H.

“Malea was absolutely amazing! She sent us tons of pictures, frequent updates and went out of her way to give our dog a mini vacation while we were gone. We couldn’t be happier!”

Collin M.

“Caitlyn took excellent care of my dog, Wilfred. She was always quick to respond to any questions of mine and would send plenty of pictures. Caitlyn was also flexible with some last minute schedule changes which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend Caitlyn for any of your dog sitting needs.”

Matthew P.

“Windsor is so great to work with and takes great care of our pup. She’s been flexible with schedule changes and I love her photos and updates!”

Sarah E.

“So glad to have found Zac on Rover. Went on my first international trip in years and really needed to know my cat and dog were in great hands. He not only took fantastic care of my guys, he was great with communication (sent me pics or videos every day), the house looked great when I got home, and he even did some extra unexpected “snow maintenance” for me! Really appreciate him and will definitely book with him in the future. Actually signed up with him for dog walks!”

Theresa C.

“Kate was fantastic. Our pup could tell immediately that she is a dog lover. She responsible and communicative. Would highly recommend her.”

About: As a pet lover and dog mom myself, your pets are my priority and I love getting to meet new dog and cat friends! I am comfortable with pets in all shapes and sizes, and have extensive experience with anxious animals, as my own dog is quite the shy guy. I live in Alpine Meadows and work at Palisades Tahoe, and am happy to give your pets the care they deserve on my off days and before/after work! I work at Palisades Tahoe as a ski instructor and live in the Donner Lake area. I typically work Friday-Sunday with evenings off. I can be flexible if needed! My dog is super friendly and he gets taken out every 3-5 hours if possible. I try to walk him every day, as well as letting him socialize with other pups!

“Sarah was once again fantastic in caring for our boy Vizsla! Provided great regular updates, took him on many walks, and left the house in great condition! Definitely will hire Sarah again.”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience dog walking, dog and cat sitting. I really enjoy bring people's pets outside for exercise and spending time with them at their home. I currently work full time in Reno so I have availability between 3:00 and 5:00 PM M-F but this can change upon specific request. I am available for over nights M-F as well. I enjoy making your animals feel safe and happy. I have experience walking and running with others' dogs and caring for older dogs who just need to be let out side for a short period of time.

“I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!”

About: I am great with pets of all ages and sizes. I have trained multiple puppies and am very compassionate with senior animals. I am comfortable giving medicine and and special care to senior/sick dogs. I am familiar with arthritic animals as well. I always give each animal tons of love and attention. I want you and your pet to feel like I am giving them the best care! I am an avid hiker, and am happy to take your animal on a long walk to get their energy out. I love dogs and cats for their unique qualities and get along really well with both. I have been told by many cat parents that their cat "Instantly took to me and they never do that!" Also, I am quite strong and do well with really big dogs. I have an open schedule right now! Happy to provide care 7 days a week. I am unable to board, but can pet sit in the animal's home. I will follow the owner's lead on their animal's schedule and routine. I am very adaptable and want a seamless transition so the animal feels safe and comfortable. I will always take photos of your animal on the walk to let you know how they are doing. I value open communication and respond in a timely fashion.
