Pet Sitting in South Lake Tahoe

“Deanna and Jeremy swooped in and saved the day for me when my precious Rover sitter fell through just before the holidays. Deanna was very sweet with my dog Stevie, was very attentive and responsive, and took lots of adorable photos on her drop ins. I can’t thank them enough for helping me in a pinch.”

“This is our second time Sydney has watched our Pitbull. Sydney is so sweet and she takes such good care of Honey. We can tell by how happy she looks in the photos.”

“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always had affinity towards animals. I loved watching the nature channel and all those nature documentaries narrated by David Attenborough (of course). However, more than that, I loved caring for and watching them myself. I’ve had a pet guinea pig, a chinchilla, fish (lots of them), salamanders, chameleons, chickens, and even a couple ant farms that I raised myself. My favorite of them all, however, was my childhood dog, Roxy. While I was very fortunate to care for all these beautiful animals, eventually most of them passed away, until only Roxy was left; And with myself moving away to a boarding school to play hockey, it wasn’t worth it to keep bringing home new pets. Then, in 2023, while at my boarding school, Roxy unfortunately passed to a rare form of cancer, before I could come home to see her. Since then, I haven’t been home long enough to bring any more pets into my home. But I still have that passion to care for and make animals happy, even if they’re someone else’s. And if there’s one thing that Roxy loved the most, it was a a nice walk or a game of fetch. I’m currently playing junior hockey, which takes up most of my weekends and weekday mornings. However, I’m usually available Sunday-Thursday in the afternoons. Some weeks might also require a couple days where I’m traveling for away games. However, I will actively update my schedule at least a week in advance, so that we can both plan accordingly! Unfortunately, I may not able to take any dogs into team housing. However, when your pet is under my care, I can guarantee as many games of fetch or tug of war that your dog wants and just as many treats (as long as it fits their dietary guidelines and with your permission of course!). I will always make sure your dog is hydrated and rested enough to give you a big hug when you return.

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I currently do not have a dog of my own so getting to spend time with friends dogs is a joy. My favorite time out hiking is always with my dogs. I am a retired teacher and have lots of free time to take care of your pets. I currently do not have any pets of my own so I can give your dog all of my attention. I only accept one booking at a time. I will stay at your home so that your pet will feel secure and comfortable.I love to hike so your pet will get plenty of exercise.

About: I have had pets since I was little and have always loved animals. I have even helped care for an old roommate's bird for 5 years! I work full time as a server, but the earliest I ever have to go in is 930a and the latest I've gotten out is 11p. However, with an influx of students coming to our restaurant, my schedule has mellowed quite a bit and we're not being scheduled on those brutal doubles as much! I love going out for hikes and to the lake. I'd be happy to bring your furry buddy with me on those adventures! I'm also happy to relax and keep your canine OR feline friend company at your house too if they are more interested in relaxing!

“Raluca was great with our two cats. Very reliable and easy to reach. She also sent great photos! Would recommend”

About: Hello! My name is Alora, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve spent the past year working as a vet tech at a local veterinary hospital, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. If your animal is every hurt or sick, I am qualified to take care, and watch over them. I’m used exercising, cleaning up after, and giving medications to animals. I’m also a dog mom to a black and white Mutt named Ray. As far as exercising your pet, it can range from short or long walks, trail walks, runs, or playing with toys, depending on what they need/like. House sitting will consist of me keeping your pet company, feeding, and all the exercise they need. If needed I can spend the night, or if you prefer I can come back in the morning. I am currently a bartender so I can be available to take your animals out during the day while you work! I love to get outside and hike, bike, and go to the beach, so if you have an adventurous dog I can cater to its needs. I have a fenced in back yard that your dog can run and play in, as well as a few Roomate’s who love dogs as well.

“Alexandra was a pleasure to have visit my dog. She was kind, experienced, transparent, and really made my dog feel comfy while I was away. I would definitely recommend her for all her available pet services!”

About: Hello there! I have been dog walking/sitting since I was a little girl! Nowadays, I enjoy keeping your pets active and well taken care of in the South Lake Tahoe area (the best place to have fun outdoors)! I am comfortable with animals who have special care instructions such as administering medicine and have experience with puppies and larger breeds such as German shepherd/Great Dane. For right now, my schedule allows me to be available for petsitting and walking every day of the week! Boarding can be arranged in advance in order to block out the necessary time for around the clock care. I put an emphasis on exercise and am not scared of a bath. Right now, I do not have pets of my own so I really enjoy the companionship and opportunity for exercise and activities. At the moment, I live in a pet friendly apartment building a short walk away from the beach!

“Shannon was AMAZING!! She kept in good touch, sent photos, and was more than accommodating of any request. Would book again next time I am out of town.”

About: I am a total dog lover. I fall in love with all the doggies!! Literally I will be home with the dogs all day and night, with 100% of the focus would be on the canines. Walking, playing, feeding, and snuggling away with my friendly pals. Only 1 dog or if the family has 2 I will not take anymore dogs. That way I can spend my time with them, doing what they like best. There is not 1 dog that I have Not enjoyed. They literally gravitate to me and I absolutely adore it. At one point in my life, my husband and I had 4 dogs. Lots of work but we Loved every minute of it. We lost 2 just 2017! WE rescued another baby from a bad situation. He is awesome and loves everyone! I am very flexible with short notice if you should need my services in an emergency.

“Thanks for the pictures. Great job taking care of Nutter Butter!”

About: I had a dog for 11 years and my cat is 18 years old currently! I have had pets my entire life and am very comfortable being with and taking care of animals. I also grew up in Tahoe, so I know all the good areas for dog walking :) I am currently on summer vacation so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to take care of pets, either cat or dog! I have a cat at home who is very shy and finicky, but she did live with my dog for over a decade. I have a fenced in backyard and access to a meadow with dog walking trails.

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.

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 many years of experience working with animals and having the responsibility of providing attention when their owners can't. I grew up on a dairy farm and have always had a love of caring for all kinds of animals. I understand that pets can feel distressed when their owners are away. It is my goal to make your pets feel at ease and happy while they are with me. As a pet sitter, I am responsible, flexible and enjoy being active. I live in a great neighborhood for walking around and also have a nature path along the Truckee River just behind my home that is dog friendly. I have an 8 year old border collie mix named Lucky who loves having friends over! We look forward to caring for your pet! I am available Monday - Thursday but will only accept 1 sitting request at a time. I want to give your pet(s) as much attention as possible while you are away. I give my full attention to my clients animals. I understand it is uncomfortable for an animal used to routine to be on vacation with their family, but can’t participate in all activities with them. I would be sad too.

“Brenna is super reliable and responsive! She took great care of our cat when we were away on a two week trip. When it looked like our cat wasn’t feeling too well after one of the visits, she was really flexible and willing to help when we asked to add an extra drop-in visit to check on her and make sure she was doing ok. I would definitely recommend Brenna!”

About: With a passion for animals and a special affinity for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to my Rover services. As a 29-year-old caregiver, I've recently returned to Rover with an expanded repertoire and a deeper understanding of pet care. My recent engagements include the attentive care of a 5-year-old Husky and a delightful Husky-Golden Retriever mix, and an 8-year-old German Shepard adding to my expertise in handling diverse breeds. While I currently don't have pets at my home, my upbringing surrounded by two beloved black Labs and ongoing care for my family's Black Lab and Bernese Mountain Dog have honed my understanding of canine behavior and needs. From pint-sized pups brimming with confidence to gentle giants convinced they're lap dogs, I cherish and cater to each dog's unique personality. I wholeheartedly recognize that these furry companions are cherished family members, and I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. Rest assured, I am committed to providing the utmost care, ensuring a secure and attentive environment for your cherished furry loved ones. I currently am self-employed so my schedule is very flexible. I am looking for house sitting gigs and can also do drop ins or day gigs. I am a very cautious pet sitter as I meet and learn your pets behavior. I tend to be that "helicopter parent" when it comes to new pets until I learn their behavior. At the end of the day though my goal is to love the pet as much as possible and enjoy our time together.
