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.
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!
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: Foster parent and I’ve had animals my entire life. Always trusted with friends’ pets. Experience with puppies and elderly dogs, big and small. I can handle a lot of pets at once. I work my time around the animals when I’m with them. they come first. I try to get them as much exercise as possible and social interaction. Very attentive to pets. I treat them like they’re my own children. Warm and safe environment that I create for the animals. I am tuning into what they need and want so that I can provide the best care.
“Brenna was Great! Mr Meowgi warmed up to her very quickly. Brenna’s communication was also really good and prompt. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to our friends.”
About: My fiance and I have a Bulldog Lab mix with epilepsy named Asparagus. Seizures with a 90+ dog are difficult, but I do what I need to to make sure he is comfortable and not a danger to himself. My life long friend, Dodger, passed away at 15 this last year. She passed in my arms, after about a year of doing everything we possibly could to keep her comfortable, including administering ointments and frequent diaper changes. I love animals more than I love people and have been caring for all sorts since I was very young. I also have experience with cats, chinchillas, and an assortment of reptiles, rodents, and amphibians. My schedule is very flexible, which is great because I can make room for all the lovely animals out there! I am a bartender around town, but this never takes up full days. I am attentive and caring. I am also very observant and great at reading situations, whether that be with the environment or other animals or needs more specific to your pet.
“Pictures of my cat playing gave me peace of mind while i was away. Marian accomodated my schedule request and i will absolutely keep her in mind for my future trips.”
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Echo Lake
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.

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.
