About: I have been an animal, lover and pet owner since my young years of life! I’ve always owned dogs and cats and have watched over loved ones animals as well over the years. I’ve spent the last two years professionally walking dogs in the Tahoe area for families of all different needs - whether it is housesitting, drop- in visits, or boarding needs - for small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and older animals, my experience is thorough and backed by love. I am a very active individual and can take animals needing high activity, hiking or running, but I’m also happy to relax with those calmer pets who enjoy the slower peace of life. I have endless references to provide insight to my past care and glowing reviews, and can’t wait to be considered for your furry ones care and create ease in the household when needed! I currently work as a Remote Insurance Agent for Globe Life which allows me full flexibility to accommodate your family's and furry loved ones needs - I have availability for overnight care, boarding requests, drop in visits for tailored walks or playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medical requests, and prompt check-ins. This change of pace has been a nice alternative from the hustle and bustle of past work experience as a project coordinator, logistics broker, hospitality leader in the concierge world, and constant stream of server jobs! Dependable care is the name of my game for your family's needs. I have a large fenced backyard off of North Upper Truckee Road in South Lake Tahoe and access to endless trails such as the Angora Meadow and Big Meadow. I have one loving and sweet dog named Addy who will be a perfect and compassionate companion for your pets or can be separated if requested. My cat, Maithai, likes to observe dogs from a distance and stays to herself unless she is in a playful mood. She can be separated as well since my spacious 3 bedroom home offers such accommodations. I have reliable transportation with ample space in my Toyota Sienna. Whatever services you request or needs you prioritize - I can guarantee to be able to deliver. Your comfort and trust in my care takes all precedence!

“We love Adam!! He was so personable and made the time to meet our dogs a few times before we left town. He was considerate of my concerns with my dogs needing a little extra care and that meant the world to me. He was timely with visits, communication and sent photos that made me feel so at ease. I’m so grateful we found him and would absolutely have him back anytime.”
“This was our first time leaving the animals for this long and the regular updates from Sandra made it all so much easier. She came over to meet the animals before we went out of town, and was always communicative and timely when she was coming to sit. Super appreciate it. Will be hoping to book her again!”
About: taking care of attention to detail and listening to the small stuff that really makes a big difference. Being a clear communicator about all aspects of care It is important to make time for the animals because they have bodily rhythms and clocks that do not change just because someone else is in care I make sure to walk around the home slowly anticipating that the cat will try to trip me up. I am careful to hear all the noises from the animals
About: Hi! I’m a Tahoe mountain girl who’s grown up caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes—including big 140-lb lovebugs. I have experience with every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, supporting chronic conditions, and providing gentle, attentive care for pets who need a little extra love. I work as a laboratory scientist at Barton Memorial Hospital, so I’m calm, reliable, and detail-oriented—qualities I bring into every pet I care for. Whether your pet needs walks, cuddles, or just companionship, I’ll treat them like family and spoil them like my own 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m used to planning my schedule around animals, making sure they get consistent meals, walks, playtime, and attention. With a calm, structured approach—both at home and in my professional life—I’m reliable with routines, timing, and special instructions, so your pets stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. At home, I have an 11-month-old Border Collie–Great Pyrenees mix who loves other dogs, two cats, and a backyard where pets can play and enjoy fresh air.
“Maddie did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town. She is a great communicator and provided us with great pictures of our kitty every day. Our cat can be standoffish with new people, but Maddie was able to gain his trust quickly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Holistic health, nutrition, and vitality are cornerstones in my life and extends to my furry friends as well! Dogs are deemed man’s best friend for a reason; they are among the greatest teachers and companions. I will cherish my time with your animal(s) and treat them with the utmost respect. Health and cuddles are my top priorities! Since the passing of my own dog, I love to fit dog walks & snuggles into the nooks and crannies of my days as well as the occasional sleepover.

I love hiking, long walks on the beach, and playing fetch with those furry friends that have endless energy. however, a slow, leisure stroll with the less active or elderly dogs as we stop for a latte and a pocket treat before heading back to snuggle on the couch for endless belly rubs. Multiple check ins and lots of pictures will be taken as I know our animals are like family!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Echo Lake
Stephanie was such a huge help and so kind to our older dogs who need extra care. One of them was sick and a different sitter bailed last minute. Stephanie handled our pups and some challenging situations like a champ in an urgent situation while we arranged travel home. So appreciative of her kindness and gentleness with our animal fam!
We love Adam!! He was so personable and made the time to meet our dogs a few times before we left town. He was considerate of my concerns with my dogs needing a little extra care and that meant the world to me. He was timely with visits, communication and sent photos that made me feel so at ease. I’m so grateful we found him and would absolutely have him back anytime.
Karen was an outstanding sitter. She took exceptional care of Kitty and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. When Kitty had an accident, she communicated with us right away and took care of cleaning it up—something we really appreciated. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her.
Jaclyn is the best! She communicates very well and gives our kitties the love and attention they need while we are gone. We also have a special needs cat and she handles him perfectly. We would recommend Jaclyn to anybody and feel so lucky to be one of her clients!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
