About: I have over 25 years of experience working with pets, from training playful puppies to providing compassionate care for elderly or disabled animals. No matter their age, needs, or temperament, I’m confident and capable of giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. I work from home from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility in the afternoons and evenings. I’m available for walks and pet sitting after 2 p.m., and I truly enjoy both morning and evening walks—having a furry companion along makes them even better! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get walks when needed, cuddles when wanted, and space when preferred. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs. I care for every animal as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a healthy, happy environment.

About: Raised on a cattle ranch, I have had experience with animals large and small my whole life. I joined Rover about a few years ago, shortly after my 120 pound lab of 9 years passed away, I wanted to be able to be around dogs and be able to be active by going on hikes and out to dog beach, but wasn't quite ready to bring to a new puppy into my life. I have house sat for many clients over the years: friends, co-workers & students families. I love to go on long walks, am comfortable administering medication if needed & providing lots of love for your dear furry friend(s). It’s been 7 years since I brought my lab puppy Pilot home & he absolutely loves having other dogs come to stay and/or join in on our daily adventures. Since covid hit he especially loves that I am a work from home dog mom now and we take a considerable amount of additional walks/hikes/bike rides each day. I would welcome anyone who is looking for Daily walks/adventures as well as longer term pet sitting to reach out as I would love to watch your furry friends. My dog Pilot would love to meet more friends to play with. Please note: I am unable to accommodate pets with any type of aggressive tendencies. I work full time from home, so your pet will be cared for and with the company of myself and my lab for their entire stay. I have a huge property with a doggie door and live near a variety of trails and lakes that can be accessed right out our door for our exercising adventures

“Otis loved Emma and they had a lovely walk together. Emma clearly has a real affection for our 4 legged friends. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma to other dog owners.”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for over 25 years and have been pet sitting for nearly as long. I have over 10 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and have ample experience with administering medications of all kinds—your fur baby’s needs are my top priority! Goose and I lead a very active lifestyle—we walk multiple times daily and spend our weekends out enjoying all that Tahoe has to offer. We always welcome adventure buddies and would love it if your pup wants to be our +1 on our next adventure! I currently work from home 3 days a week. For Tahoe Donner residents, I can take your pup for a midday stroll during the work week (M, T, F). For all other Truckee folks I am available in the evenings on the days listed above and any time on the weekends. When I am spending time with your pup their safety and happiness is my number one priority. Unless a group walk is requested, they will receive one-on-one attention and affection. Working on training or need a brush up on on-leash manners? Ask me about training walks!

“Lindi was awesome. Highly recommended. Punctual, responsible, and trustworthy. She was flexible with changing booking times at the last minute which was great. She was mindful of locking all the door locks behind her which I thought was a nice touch. Although my poor, scared rescue always hid, Lindi tried her best to coax her but to no avail. Lindi sent me pictures of her hiding in the corner and it would make me giggle. Will hire Lindi again once my rescue gets more confident. THANK YOU, Lindi!”

About: Aloha, my name is Brad and I have a passion for pets! I’ve been lucky enough to have 3 AMAZING huskies and a Pitsky over the last 24 years:) I formerly owned and operated Tahoe Husky Rescue for several years (2015-2018) out of my house in Truckee, Ca. During that short time, I rescued 92 huskies out of kill shelters in California and Nevada and helped re-home approximately 150 huskies (some other breeds as well). I started the rescue out of my pure love for dogs! I’m proud to say that I won Sierra Sun’s “Best of North Lake Tahoe/Truckee” Non-profit in 2016. I hope that shows my love and commitment to our fur babies🐶 I’m here to take care of your pets while you’re away so that they are happy, comfortable and you can have a worry free trip. Sadly, I recently had to say goodbye to my two senior dogs who passed to cancer(Sept 2024). So your dog would be the only dog in the house(unless I'm dog sitting another dog at the same time) and would receive lots of love and attention:) Please visit and follow my Instagram page: Truckeedogboarding I work from home, so your dog will have constant company with me being around. I’m usually only gone during the day to attend a yoga or Pilates class at Alpenflow, otherwise I’m home. Established in Truckee since 2000 and a homeowner in Prosser Lakeview since 2003. I have a .25 acre lot with a 6’ fenced in yard for your dogs convenience and safety. I also have a large 10’x30’ raised (15’ above the ground) front deck with a doggie door(weather permitting) for your dogs freedom to go in and out of. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in bed. I will gladly send you pics and videos of your dog while you're away.

“Christie was amazing! Very quick to reply and communication was great. She even braved a big snow storm to let our girl out and make sure she got lunch. Will definitely be reaching out to her again 😊 Thank you so much Christie!”

“Amazing, will definitely book again.”

About: I am an experienced dog mom who has raised two dogs from puppy to senior citizen. My dog recently passed away after 16+ great years, and I want to keep some furry friends in my life while helping out neighbors. I know the importance of affection, exercise and routine in a pet's life. I love taking pups on walks in the neighborhood or Legacy Trail, hiking or throwing the ball. Extra cuddles and treats included. :) I know the special needs of senior dogs and puppies and can provide personalized care. I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I can adapt to your needs. I love to get outside with your pups and will work with all weather conditions to make that happen. I am respectful of your home and trustworthy. Before leaving, I will make sure that your animal is comfortably settled. Your pet's safety is my number one priority!

“Amara is great. She is detailed oriented. She took the dog to snow and lake to let him have fun. She also kindly refilled the dog’s water and wiped his paws. She is also super easy to communicate and got logistics like key / date change very smoothly. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was a kid. From dogs and cats to birds and turtles. Animals have always been a magical part of my life. Weekly animals are a huge part of my life. From caring for my own, to walking dogs and watching animals while their families are away. We live in a neighborhood that is very close to lots of great trails for hiking. My dog Abby loves making friends as do my kids.

“Easy communication with Caitlyn!”

About: Hi there, I’m Olivia and can’t wait to meet your fur family! My parents had a sweet spot for rescues and adopted dogs from shelters throughout my childhood. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds/sizes, ages, personalities, and levels of health. Over the past 15 years I have also sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I work remotely for a local company so my availability is pretty flexible and will allow me to be with your pup(s) as often as needed. Safety is my top priority. They will be leashed for potty breaks if there isn’t a fenced yard at home and on walks, especially while exploring busy trails and beaches.

“Evan did a great job with our dog. He took him on a walk and gave him lots of attention during play time. He sent great update photos and made sure he had water and food. Would highly recommend!”

Shannon S.

“Mackenzie did a great job with my pups. One was so excited to see her that she peed a little and Mackenzie took care to clean it up. She was excellent on communicating with me with any questions during her stay. She even adjusted my dog’s harness so that fit better. I highly recommend Mackenzie for taking care of your dogs.”
