“Patty and Randy were everything we could have hoped for in dog sitters! From the beginning, their communication was excellent, and we appreciated their honesty and genuine approach to caring for our dog. We especially liked that they encouraged a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for everyone. They were attentive to our dog’s individual personality and needs, and their home was a perfect environment for him. Just as importantly, we could tell they genuinely enjoyed having him there, which means so much to us. We always know when our dog has had a great “camp” experience because he comes home happy, relaxed, and himself. That was certainly the case with Patty and Randy! They provided everything we look for in dog sitters: great communication, a welcoming home, genuine affection for our dog, and complete peace of mind while we were away. We sincerely hope they’ll be available for our next trip. Thank you, Patty and Randy, for being such wonderful people and taking such great care of our baby.”
“Tim was INCREDIBLE!! We came to Tahoe for a wedding and last minute our plans for our dog’s care fell through. Tim not only took her last minute, but he didn’t just take care of her. He loved on her, took her hiking and to the lake, and made sure we knew she was being well taken care of. I was grateful to know she was in good hands and I never once worried about her the entire time because he was incredibly communicative and sent some great pictures of her. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the Tahoe area.”
“Faith is an absolute gem of a dog sitter, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I reached out last minute — the kind of request most sitters would turn down without a second thought — and she said yes without hesitation. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled Atlas’s anxiety. She didn’t treat it as an inconvenience; she approached it with patience and genuine care, and it made such a difference knowing my pup was in calm, understanding hands rather than just being “watched.” On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and even made a special exception for me when I needed a time outside her normal hours. She didn’t make me feel like a burden for asking — she just made it work. That kind of grace is rare. And the updates! She check-ins with photos and messages that were so reassuring. You could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions — she actually cared how he was doing. If you have a dog with any special needs or anxiety, Faith is your person. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Faith! 🐾”
“Kate is such a kind and sweet carer. Her house has an adventurous, fun backyard and is lovely, welcoming and neat inside. Our dog had so much fun with her three dogs. Kate sent us so many videos and photos. Thank you Kate!!”
“We had to find a dog sitter very last minute for our dog finch and Adam and Lauren were super accommodating! They provided good communication and updates to us while watching our dog, they had many other dogs for finch to play with too while assuring us that finch would be safe around them.”
“Teeda and her daughter must have been really attentive in the best way. Mulligan loved being with them. We felt they took her in as one of the family. I know she will be happy to see them on her next visit. Thank you Teeda and Tas.”
“Melissa is the best! Great communication and very dog friendly environment. This was my first time ever leaving Gus overnight & she went above and beyond to make sure he felt right at home. He and Cody were instant BFFs & it’s great to know he has someone who makes him feel so safe and comfortable when I am not able to be with him.”
“Ashley was so great helping us last minute when we had travel cancellations! Her flexibility was so so appreciated. Leo had a blast and was exhausted for 2 days after returning home! I’d look to Ashley again for sure!”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”
“We are so glad to have found Susan and her love for dogs and her perfect place for our big energy dogs that love to run. Thank you so much for helping us feel comfortable with leaving our dogs overnight for the first time!”

“Choi was a fantastic sitter for our puppy! She took him on several walks, kept us well informed and took lots of photos for us. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout his overnight stay under her care!”
“Maddie was THE BEST! She watched my 13 week old puppy while I had to go away for the first time and totally put my mind at ease. She sent daily pics/updates and took my pup, Rue, to do so many activities while I was gone. Can’t wait to use her in the future and highly recommend for anyone that’s looking for a dog sitter❤️”

About: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs. From growing up with two golden retrievers to getting my own dog louie at 17- and seeing him through his senior years all the way up until his passing this past February. We still have his sweet loving sister Nala who is 5, a tender gentle girl who lives for fetch! She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life. My husband Louie (my dog Louie came first they just happened to have the same name! lol) is also an animal lover and instantly adopted my babies upon meeting and has always treated them with tender and diligent care. We are responsible loving and caring pet parents who take the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward hearing from you. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create with plenty of time to work around the needs of the animals I am caring for. We currently live in a home with an enclosed deck space, however whenever we aren't home we keep the windows and doors completely shut and locked.
“Our dog Ruby took to Zoe right away. Zoe was flexible enough for us to pick up Ruby to take her with us for part of our day. When we had to return her to Zoe for the night, Ruby ran right into her house with no reservation, making our stay very relaxed and worry free.”
“Gissell is amazing! She takes great care to focus on what our dog’s routine is at home so that his routine stays pretty similar! I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s definitely out go-to sitter :)”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardnerville Ranchos home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gardnerville Ranchos.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gardnerville Ranchos sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
