“Jessica looked after Archie and cared for him as if he were her own pet. She shared photos of him having fun and playing a ton. Archie seemed super happy to be there! Would highly recommend anyone to book her services!”
“Fantastic. Nettie is very good with dogs and my Tilly probably got more attention and exercise that could give her. I've learned that Nettie hikes daily, so if your dog loves to hike, Nettie is the one, plus the absolute love your dog will receive. She has a nice backyard, so there's plenty of room for running around.”
“Shannon was wonderful! Rosie had the best time and came back happy! Shannon was a great communicator and sent us pictures of the adventures they went on! Without hesitation we would book Shannon to watch our sweet pup when in Breckenridge!”
“Melissa watched my dog Alia for a few days while I was out of town. She was great! I would leave Alia with Melissa anytime. Melissa was friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept Alia happy and healthy with lots of walks and love. I also received a bunch of super cute photos of Alia every day. It was perfect. Thanks Melissa!”
“First time we used Rover and could not have been more pleased with the excellent care Adam provided for our elderly Lab, Lacey. Adam took care in attending to the needs of our older dog, taking her on short walks and creating easy access to their large fenced yard. We will definitely use Adam again and highly recommend!”
“Kate is so wonderful! My baby had so much fun playing with hers. She accepted our super last minute reservation. And sent photos throughout the day. I would definitely book with her again.”
“This is the first time I used Rover and to be honest was a bit worried, but when Jeremy and Diana took my boy Moses. They did an excellent job of taking care of my Persian cat. They were all on top of the care and updates regarding the status of Moses. Send pictures and updates accordingly. I would highly recommend Jeremy and I would do it it again if needed. You both are great animal lovers and thank you for what you do.”
“Tim was absolutely fantastic with my Brody Boy! He was immediately comfortable with him and they became fast buddies! They went on many adventures during Brodys 3 day stay and he sent many great photos of their walks, hikes, and snuggles, which I loved! Tim had great and fast communicatiion with me during his entire stay and he was also very flexible with some last minute changes. He is an excellent Rover and truly loves animals, I will be contacting him again. Thanks Tim!!”
“Bodhi was a happy boy! Teeda sent photos of him walking on nearby trails, which is one of his favorite activities. We will definitely contact Teeda next time we need a sitter in the Tahoe area.”
“Trusting a stranger with your pet is the worst! but he is one to trust, I give him 5 stars for all the updates during my dogs stay an photos.. I can tell my pup was stress fee on pick up & was quick to get comfortable with Gabriel on drop off !”
“Marcelo is amazing! He gives incredible updates and takes lots of photos. We felt so reassured knowing that he was taking care of our boy. Highly recommend if you're in the Tahoe area!”
“Diane was absolutely wonderful with Jazzy. A five month old puppy can be a handful, but I felt confident leaving Jazzy with Diane from the time Diane and I first met each other. Diane was very accommodating when I first made my reservation and I appreciated her patience when my plans changed. I loved receiving photos of Jazzy while she was with Diane and I know my little girl would always be excited to visit Diane again when we need someone to watch her. Knowing your little one is safe, secure, and happy is most important when we can't take our puppy with us. I would certainly recommend Diane to watch any dog because she cares.”
“Kerri deserves nothing less than 5 stars! She cared for my two vizslas with lots of love and care, including regular walks which are essential for my high energy pups! I received many photo updates which is always helpful in knowing they are enjoying their time.”
About: I am a dog mommy of a medium 14 year old pit mix, Roxy. I love all dogs and have family with everything from a Chihuahua (with no teeth) to a dopey Great Dane named after prince George. I have babysat all of their dogs and love to play outside with them. I like to run and hike with my dogs and we like to be silly together. She is getting older (14 years old) so she is not as active as she once was. I'm an educator, so my own pup is used to me being gone during the day, but because of holidays and summers I'm also free frequently. My own dog in the past struggled with stubborness and reactivity, so I know how to work with stubborn dogs and easy going dogs of all sorts. I have also worked with geriatric dogs and know what a struggle it can be when dogs are getting into old age. As an educator I work Monday through Friday (most weeks) during the day, and am home evenings, but have extensive availability weekends and holidays. My schedule can be somewhat flexible I am available to come to your home if your dog needs some company or can have your pup at my place. I also have transportation for taking your pet to the beach, river, or parks. I am happy to run, walk, or just hang out with your pets.

“Melissa was amazing with my australian shepherd Levi! She was super flexible about scheduling, communicative during his stay, shared lots of photos and videos, and has a lovely dog-friendly set up.
