House Sitting in Mesa Vista

“Having recently moved to the area, and after struggling in our previous homes (Carlsbad, CA and Las Vegas) to find Rover sitters who actually cared for our dogs the way we requested (and paid for), we are delighted that we found Mindy for our first overnight away from the dogs in our new home. Although our dogs don't require 24-hour care, they are used to my husband and I working from home and being around most of the time, and we try not to leave them alone for more than 3-5 hours when we go on family outings. Mindy also works remotely and was happy to commit to hanging out at the house the whole holiday weekend. I usually leave a note for the sitter reiterating everything discussed at the meet-and-greet, but I ran out of time to get one done for Mindy before our camping trip. She remembered everything without the note and was quick to respond to texts alerting her to things I forgot to mention in person. Mindy took photos and videos of the dogs throughout the day to document what they were up to; at my request, she just sent me a compilation video at the end of each day, but I know she's willing to send more frequent updates if that's the owner's preference. On the last day of her stay, Mindy emailed me a summary of her observations over the weekend, including meals, walks, potty habits, and playtime behavior, as well as detailing things she loved about their personalities. Though we were already sold on her as our favorite sitter of all time, this email recap provided a huge sense of assurance that we had left the dogs with someone who really cared for them and paid as much attention to their wellbeing as we do. In the past, we've been able to tell when a sitter hadn't fulfilled their duty of care because the dogs were incredible anxious and clingy upon our return. When we arrived home last Sunday, Mindy was still here, and they dogs were the most relaxed they have ever been after we were away. They were excited to greet us, but quickly went back to happily lazing around the house. We have already booked Mindy for another trip next weekend and hope she's always available when we need her!”

About: I have been a dog owner for more than 18 years and I've been around cats and dogs my whole life. My partner and I, along with our 4-year-old Pyrenees mix, provide a safe, loving space with tons of room to run, and heaps of belly rubs. I'm currently working part time as a property manager on a 50 acre estate. My partner works from home. So one or both of us is around. We both take our dog for a long hike/bike/one wheel ride every evening that we would love to take your buddy with us. If I have take your dog to work I have a Tacoma with a camper shell that I bring Stevie in. It's safe and lockable so you can be assured that your fur baby is safe. We live in a single family home with two floors outside the Meyers roundabout. We allow dogs on couches, beds and have indoor and outdoor dog beds. We are a block away from miles of trails down to the Truckee river. Also I love running my dog Stevie with my one wheel around paradise park. Which is around 4 miles round trip. So if your dog needs lots of running and is safe on or off leash Ive got the toy for them. When not walking or riding we have a large fenced backyard (especially for Tahoe). So they won't be couped up inside. Please let us know what your best friend needs and we'll do our best to accommodate.

“Toni is absolutely the BEST dog sitter! I am so grateful to have found someone that I know is giving my boy the best care when I'm away. Toni is excellent at communication with a super fast response time and multiple daily updates. She took wonderful care of our home and left such a sweet note and small gift for us. It is truly evident how much she cares for animals! Thank you SO MUCH Toni!!!”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 8 years old. From then to now I have done overnights, dog walks, and even potty breaks. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets company, take them on walks/get them outside, feed them on a consistent schedule, be available for potty breaks, stay over night, and bathe when needed. I love being a helping hand just as much as I love the furry companions! I just got back from a long trip away and I am not working. Allowing me full time to take care of and attend to your pets. I will follow any and all instructions given on how to care for your pets. For example, having them in leash when letting them into the backyard, putting them in the crate when needed, keeping food high out of reach, etc.

About: I have always had dogs my whole life!!. I adore animals... especially dogs. I am very excited to watch fur baby at my house and it gives play time as well for my dogs. We have an enormous toy basket stuffed to the max! I usually prefer a meet greet beforehand to make sure all the dogs are a great match! 👍 😊 I am a housewife and a stay at home mom. I have 2 english cream retrievers both females that are very well trained and super friendly with other dogs and always welcoming new freinds !! I have a big backyard that is fenced outdoor cameras and our house is dog friendly and waiting for you! My house is big enough to board and provide doggie daycare.

“Kristin was great with our dog, who is a rescue, and has her quirks! Our dog was very comfortable with her, seemed well taken care of when we returned, and Kristen was great at giving us updates. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Dogs are better than humans and the more we aspire to be like them the better the world gets. I love dogs and have always been an active member of my local humane society and have volunteered with non profits in several 3rd world countries for animal welfare. I am active and move around often so have not been able to have my own fur baby yet so I would be so grateful and honoured to be the best ‘ fun aunt’ to yours. I enjoy time outside as much as a dog does so I’ll be able to return your pup well exercised and ready to relax after a good hike and some fresh air and belly rubs. I work in restaurants so am free every day until 3 and finish around 10pm. I would be able to take your dog out for regular runs or walks as well as house sitting in the safety and comfort of their own home. I live in a studio apartment with great access to trails and an unfenced yard. Dog sitting at my house would be totally possible for the right dog that would be comfortable with a smaller space.

“Leo did a wonderful job with our two dogs! We had a very quick turn around trip and Leo was able to house sit with such short notice was great. Our dogs seemed very happy upon our arrival. Our home was left extremely clean and as we left it. We will definitely book Leo in the future. Thanks Leo!”

“Krystina was the best and we will definitely be using her again!!! She stayed at our place with our boys and the house was spotless when we returned. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! She followed all of our instructions to the T! It was obvious she really cared. We highly recommend Krystina!”

“Mckenna is FANTASTIC!!! This was the first time we were leaving our little kitty for so long, (over two weeks) and I was nervous! But Mckenna set all my concerns at ease. She sent daily photos and videos, watered my plants, and left the house in perfect condition. FIVE STARS!!! I highly recommended Mckenna for all your pet sitting needs!”

“We couldn't recommend Andrew more—he was truly an angel for our fur family! This was our first time using a pet sitter so I was super nervous, but Andrew instantly put us at ease; He gave our two pups and kitty amazing, personalized care, daily walks, treats on schedule, and sweet updates with photos that made us smile every day! Thanks to Andrew, we could fully enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in the best hands. Thank you so much, Andrew—Beau, Gus & Summer adore you and hope to see you again soon!!!”

“Alexis is great! This is the second time she has watched our girl Lucy while we’re away. Great communicator, trustworthy, thoughtful, animal lover. Lucy is very comfortable with her. We already have her booked for our next trip!”

“Brenna was amazing with River! She checked in on River multiple times a day and gave her all the exercise and cuddles she needed. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Our experience with finding Denise thru the ROVER app was excellent beyond our expectations. We were miserable at the thought of leaving our two babies for nearly a week! We usually bring them wherever we go but were unable to this time as we stayed in a no kids/no pets resort for a destination wedding. But finding Denise was the most fortunate thing we could have ever imagined . She’s so affectionate & skilled with doggie care that we were able to go on our trip with no worries whatsoever about their care. Such an absolutely wonderful find. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Devin. I work for a local livestock supply store and grew up on a cattle ranch in Northern California/Southern Oregon. I have a variety of experience when it comes to dogs, ranging from border collies to corgis to jack russells and a little in between. While I do travel for work from time to time, I would love to help when I am home! Very active and love being outdoors. I work full time and travel typically 2-3 days a week. However, when I am home I am able to pet sit in the evenings and typically on the weekends. I am mostly interested in providing walking services either early in the morning, lunch time or after 5! I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however am flexible when it comes to watching them in your home. Whether that means spending time with them outdoors, indoors, crating them or anything in between!
