About: My love for animals follows me wherever I go: from guiding mule rides in the Grand Canyon to fostering kittens while rock climbing in West Virginia - the animals always seem to find me! I was born and raised with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and reptiles. This eclectic group taught me a lot about caring for and acknowledging each animals unique needs and characteristics. I've cared for sensitive, young, old, special needs and difficult dogs over the years, and know some require more patience and attention than others. Giving medicine, preparing special diets, providing mentally stimulating activity and preventing dogs from over exertion after surgery are all tasks I've done as a dedicated pet owner for a variety of small and large dog breeds. I'm currently a full-time student at LTCC and work for their EMT program as an Instructor Aide. My schedule experiences fluctuations with some of my courses only lasting 3 days. I'm I care for pets in clients' homes and can take them out on adventures where allowed and when arranged. My roommate has 2 cats who do not appreciate dogs.

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.

“Kerri did a wonderful job as our cat "sitter"! Really appreciated her friendliness, quick & timely communications, attentiveness with our senior cat, and especially the videos, photos, and notes during her visitation. Highly recommend!”


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


About: Pets are like family, no two ways about it! They give us their undivided attention, loyalty and love. I get great joy from spending time with, and connecting with all dogs and cats. When meeting any new animal, I focus on understanding them, communicating with them, observing their signals, and building trust with them. I don't currently have any pets and would enjoy the company of having your dog or cat when they need that care. Over the past 6 years I have done a range of pet sitting cats and dogs as far as house sitting, feeding, daily walks or hikes. I’m currently working part time, I am flexible with times and am willing to work with your schedule/dates needed to take care of your furr loved ones. Im always outside and walking in nature and taking a pup with me is no problem for me. I love to give animals all the attention they need. I’m all about keeping them entertained and engage with the animal. I like to build that connection and make sure their needs are met.

“Mariam is so loving with my dog and he is so happy when she comes to visit. I can see him on the ring camera when they leave for a walk or while she’s patting him. I couldn’t be more pleased that my pup is loved while I can’t be with him due to work or travel. Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old I got my first dog and began taking her on walks multiple times a day. Learned how to feed her, give her affection and play time always. I am currently unemployed but will be starting a job in Lake Tahoe in May. I have lots of free time on my hands ready to take care of some amazing animals. I am very cautious when taking care of animals, always checking the back yard before letting them run free for any wildlife that could be nearby. I also think it’s very important to play and do activities with the pets whatever they prefer.

“Hailey was amazing! She got Aurora ‘s energy out and was great with her. She came right on time for the drop in’s. She was also super respectful of our space. We will definitely use her again!”


About: I grew up raising boxers including lots of puppies. I can give medications special needs care if necessary. I love dogs!! I do not have a dog at home at this time your dog will be the only one getting full attention. If your pup doesn’t play well with other dogs Then we are all good. I am very flexible at this time Available most days and nights. Most people need my services when vacationing In Tahoe. Available day and night. I have a large backyard which is fully fenced to play. I enjoy taking hikes and walks with the dogs. It is really a staycation for them!!

About: I got my first dog for my 8th birthday and have loved and cared for many ever since! From chihuahuas to Dobermans, I’ve walked, fed, played, and trained so many sizes and kinds. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. I love being outside as much as I can, so always available for longer walks for those restless ones. I can easily adjust to any needs or wants your pet may need! Slow and steady walks with lots of sniffs or maybe a fast paced run and a dip in the river to get the energy out.. I can be flexible and do either!


“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!”


“I'm always comfortable leaving my kitties in Katie's care. We had a leak in our ceiling the day we had to leave for our trip. Katie gave me regular updates and even emptied out the container we were using to temporarily catch the water. She was able to make it out even after the snow storm hit and made sure to top off food and water for the kitties in case road travel wasn't possible. Katie is always a great sitter, and I'd happy recommend her to anyone.”


“Mary was awesome, and really did a great job checking in on our Cat and spending time with him. I think he might of liked her better than me lol”
