“Lyndsey was so sweet and caring to my Clover. Clover can be shy so I appreciate Lyndsey being patient with her. She was timely as well which is always appreciated!”

About: Hello! I am a knowledgeable, responsible animal lover ready to care for and exercise your pets. I have 15+ years of experience with pet sitting dogs, cats, horses, livestock, reptiles, etc! I am detail oriented and can help around the house while you are away, in addition to caring for your pets. I am also an active runner and hiker and would be happy to take your dogs out for some good exercise! I am available for overnight stays at your home, visits and check-ins, and walks/runs! At this time I am not able to board other dogs at my home, since my dog is a rescue and does not do well with other dogs in our home! I also have lots of experience with large animals and am available to groom/ride/exercise. Multiple references available.
“On schedule and very thorough during her check ins. My kitties were very happy, well fed and clean when we got back home from our vacation away. Will definitely re-book!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, which means caring for four-legged family members is second nature to me. As my family and friend’s resident dog sitter, I have hands on experience with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from high energy giants to tiny couch potatoes. I am passionate about keeping dogs active and healthy, so you can count on me to provide plenty of outdoor time and engaging walks. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing them with a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is highly flexible! Pet care fits seamlessly into my day, allowing me to offer reliable windows for walks and drop-ins. My 'portable' office also makes me a great fit for house sitting, as I can work right from your home and keep your pet company. Weekends are equally open and flexible for whatever your pet needs! I believe the best environment for a pet is one that closely mirrors their usual routine. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in, I strictly follow your specific guidelines for feeding and house rules. During house sittings and drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and locked up. When we are out on walks, your dog will always be kept on a secure, standard leash, and I maintain a strict 'no greeting' policy with unfamiliar dogs to prevent any unpredictable interactions. I am deeply observant of body language to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and never stressed. I also believe that communication builds trust, so you can always expect timely photo updates and detailed Rover cards after every visit!
“My original plans didn't have me gone for a whole day but then at the last minute they changed. A friend recommended Rover.com and I couldn't be happier or more pleased with how it all worked out, literally the day before I had to leave! I reached out to Stephanie as she looked to be the closest to my house and she was extremely responsive and was willing and able to book the time with my sweet Loki, my 85 pound black English Lab. Stephanie stayed in communication with me when she was heading over, sent photos of how Loki was doing with her - he had never met her before - and let me know when she left. Even my VERY TIMID cat was willing to make an appearance which is a first for her around a stranger. I am/was very impressed with Stephanie's experience with dogs and she demonstrated that she was able to earn both Loki's and Hela (the cat's) trust - she has earned mine too!”

“Very satisfied with our pet sitter. He fed our cats, cleaned their litter boxes, and played with them. He was also in constant communication so we got pictures and updates. We'll definitely hire them again.”
About: My husband and I had one dog (Russell) for 12 1/2 years - and now have 2 puppies (Ash - just over 2 years old, Daisy - 1/2 years old). I love them more than anything, and have been using Rover to find dog sitters for the last ~10 years! I am finally retiring and am excited to now help others! Ash and Daisy love other dogs - and we go on lots of adventures - and go on shorter walks and have fun times at home too. I’m excited to take you dog with us, or have your dog or dogs over for stays…..I can drop by to help and do other things as well, whatever you would like to make sure that your dog or dogs are loved while you are away, working, or having fun in Tahoe! My puppies ‘run’ my day, every day! I would take care of yours the same!….walks, play time, breakfast, dinner, sleepovers. Your dog would be loved! I have a fully fenced yard…filled with grass in the summertime and snow in the winter! I have 2 puppies that love company, and are very friendly!
“Angelique went above and beyond keeping our house cared for during the holidays/biggest snowstorm in fifty years. It was a mission for anyone to even exist during those few days and she made sure that our cat was cared for and safe. Plus making sure we had a path to get to the house when we returned, so incredible. Thank you!”

About: Hi there! I am a SLT transplant from the Midwest. I have experience working with animals from cats & dogs to horses & chickens. I've worked for Boulder Pet Nanny, a privately owned small business for pet sitting, as well as fostering under-socialized cats through Colorado Feline Foster Rescue and even living at an animal sanctuary on the north island of New Zealand for 6 months. Suffice it to say, I absolutely love animals in addition to having a deep well of experience caring for them. I am able to safely administer medication, implement special training instructions, and overall have a careful eye to detail and connection to animals :) I'm currently working casually, so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to make any time of visits work on both weekdays and weekends. I know how to calmly and safely introduce myself to shy or scared dogs, especially if it's our first time meeting. I'm also happy to drop by to meet a doggo for the first time with you present, if that's ever any help.
“Jenny was amazing! She checked in promptly daily and sent me photos. All my furbabies, and fishies were well cared for and content when we arrived back home. I felt at ease the entire time we were away. I will definitely be using Jenny and Jonathan again and highly recommend them.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 40 years. I will spend all of my time with your dog, hiking, swimming, playing in the snow and cuddling.

I will provide a safe and clean environment for your dog. When we hike, swim, play in the snow, they will be on a leash. I will always be very careful with your dog.

About: Hello! I’m a lifetime dog owner. I have two 10 year old dogs Arcata and Izzy and one girlfriend Chelcee. The four of us love to hike, walk, go backpacking, camping or just hang at the house. We would be happy to have another fur ball or two join our adventures. Or perhaps just be a couch potato like our dog Izzy. Whatever they prefer you can be sure we will provide a safe and fun environment. We have a large dog door and a decent sized clean backyard where our dogs love to sun bathe. I work from home giving me the availability to be present with all the fur babies. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with a stranger.

We keep a clean tidy home with a fun easy going atmosphere. Most days this includes a walk or two. Followed by treat time. All dogs will be fed separately.
