“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”
“Gabriel is a great host for our dog George. He makes sure he is comfortable and gets some exercise also. I also appreciate Gabriel providing an update on how George is doing during his stay. Overall, I definitely recommend Gabriel to sit your pet.”
“Gina was great! She kept me updated all throughout Deans stay, and when I got there to pick him up he was clearly comfortable and safe. It gave me such relief knowing he loved and well cared for while I was away.”
About: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with small or medium size dogs. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether that means long walks in high meadows, playtime, or simply keeping them. I am currently working full-time from home, but I am not in scheduled meetings all day and can adjust my schedule to play, walk, or visit your pets. I have a large, fenced deck where your pet can enjoy sunbathing and fresh air. This space acts as an extension of our home, ensuring your pet's safety.
“So happy I found Teeda! It’s always stressful moving to a new place and having to find someone you can trust to watch your fur baby when you have to go out of town. Teeda sent daily photos of my pup and made me feel at ease throughout my trip. She was very responsive and friendly and Mala came back happy and healthy ?. Will definitely be using Teeda again!”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“Luna had a great stay with Armand! She was very comfortable there and got out on plenty of walks. Armand was great to work with and very communicative! Already planning Luna’s next stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tim was excellent! We're pretty particular who we have watch our pup and Tim was the perfect match. He has great communication before our stay and during. We received many pictures and updates on our pup. We would have our pup stay with him again in a heart beat.”
“Really happy I chose Melissa to watch my dog ! She sent me updates and pics everyday so I knew my girl was in good hands ! Took her for walks as well , will definitely be getting back with Melissa to watch her again !! Thank you for caring ❤️❤️”
“Raluca was so sweet. I know my pup got plenty of walks, attention and love. I got many pics. This was my first Rover experience, and I would definitely recommend Raluca!”
“Lara was very quick to respond and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We were very fortunate that Lara was available during Thanksgiving. Her place was very clean and well maintained. She was sending pictures of our pet periodically and took him on walks. Overall our pet was very happy We will certainly enlist her help next time we visit Tahoe.”
“Jennifer and her boyfriend, Jack, were great hosts for our dog Brody while we were skiing in town for a couple days! They were both super nice and genuine, very accommodating with a last minute daycare request, and were flexible with our schedule which was super helpful! They both asked questions the drop off, sent us a ton of pictures throughout the day, and overall made us feel very comfortable with having our dog there with them! I would absolutely recommend and we will use them again when we are in the area!”
“Patty and Randy provided an excellent boarding experience for our dog Cookie! We had no hesitations from the moment we dropped Cookie off and saw how excited she was to see Patty and Randy's dogs who she had met the week before for a meet and greet. During Cookie's stay we were so happy to receive videos and pictures which confirmed that she was having a great time. Patty also reached out during Cookie's stay to ask us some questions to ensure she understood Cookie's habits and needs. We are so happy to have found Patty and Randy to board Cookie and thank them, BellaMae, Bizu, and Bindi Lou for the time, attention, and fun play they provided Cookie to ensure she felt secure, relaxed, and happy during her visit. It is so appreciated!!”
“Stephanie was wonderful!! We thought our pup would never want to come home after spending 10 days with her. We got so many pictures, gave us a lot of updates and took such great care of our new puppy. It’s a lot to take on a new puppy, and she was so kind, positive and loving the entire time. Our pup had a great time! And we enjoyed our vacation, knowing she was in good hands!”
“Melissa was just great - she was super flexible with pick up and drop off, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and even printed a photo for us to take home. Her dog, Obi, is super sweet and I’m sure made our dog feel at home! I would definitely book with Melissa again!”
About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.
“Nicole was amazing! She was able to take my puppy in last minute and I was very grateful for that. She made my puppy feel so loved! She was taking such good care of him and sent me pictures and updates about how their day was going. I definitely felt a sigh of relief knowing my puppy was happy and safe with her!”

We had 5 day family vacation and couldn’t take our 1.5 year old golden, Monty. Melissa was wonderful with Monty! She kept me updated throughout his stay with photos and videos, and communicated really well the whole time. It was clear he was in great hands. Highly recommend, and we’d happily book with her again!
Teresa was an amazing dog sitter and took great care of our dog, Stacy, while we traveled for work for 3 nights. She was very accommodating with our last minute request and flexible with the drop off and pick up times. She had great communication, administered medicine and took Stacy on multiple walks and hikes. I would not hesitate to recommend or to rebook a dog care service with Teresa.
Lauren is absolutely amazing, I would recommend to all my friends! She was great with Leah and kept me up to date on everything along the way. Pictures & video updates along the way. Lots of activities and keeps training in mind as well. Even flexible and willing to work with me on pick up! All in all this was a A+ service! Thank you again!
Raluca was amazing! This is our first time boarding our miniature dachshund, so we were definitely nervous about it beforehand. Raluca sent us constant updates with our pup’s photos/videos, which really helped with my separation anxiety. When it’s time to pick up, Raluca got everything packed and ready to go, and she even offered to moved the cage into our trunk. Our dog soufflé loved her stay and we can’t recommend Raluca enough.
Lara was amazing! She was incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs, made sure she got plenty of exercise (even in a snow storm!), and made her feel completely at home. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Your critters are in good hands with Lara and we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Megan did an amazing job watching our pup Ziti while we were on vacation in Lake Tahoe. He had so much fun with her, her family and their pup. She was great about communicating and sending updates/pictures and even let my son go visit him. I would definitely recommend her and know Ziti will be excited to stay there again on our next visit.
Laura was great with my Labrador Charlie! He settled right in with her 2 small dogs, like he was just one of the pack. I loved that she sent photos of Charlie's adventures of the day, it made me feel good knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely be happy knowing Charlie's in Laura's care on my future busy days in Tahoe!
Lauren was an absolutely fantastic sitter! My dog is super shy but within a few days, he was so attached. My whole family looked forward to her regular updates, which were always funny and with a great photo. I wouldn't hesitate to book Lauren again. Thank you so much!!
Kristian is a terrific sitter! When I asked how Moo was doing, he texted back right away with detailed updates. He let us know how Moo did on their walks and how well he ate his meals. He sent pictures and videos, which we loved! We would definitely book Kristian again the next time we're in Tahoe.
Nettie was fantastic! During my dog's 5-day stay with Nettie, I had ZERO concerns about his well-being. From taking him to the lake, to tucking him in under a blanket, Nettie delivered top-notch care. And when, mid-stay, I asked if I could add a night, she went out of her way to accommodate my request & devised a special pick-up plan that worked with both of our schedules. Top-notch in every way! THANK YOU NETTIE!!!
