About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.

About: Hi, I’m Monica, a Truckee local, animal lover, and pet owner with two cats and a dog of my own. A huge reason why I was interested in doing this is because I know firsthand how hard it can be to find a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter in Tahoe. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and I want people to feel confident that their pets are genuinely cared for while they’re away. I work remotely running my own bookkeeping business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive with the animals I care for. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pets and home with respect. I live an active mountain lifestyle and am great with dogs that love getting outside, but I’m equally happy caring for shy cats, senior pets, or animals that just need calm companionship and consistency. I’ve also spent time involved in ski patrol and search and rescue environments, which I think speaks to the kind of person I am, responsible, calm under pressure, attentive, and safety-oriented. I’m currently building my Rover profile and offering introductory pricing while I establish reviews and relationships with local clients here in Truckee. I promise to care for your animals the same way I’d want someone caring for mine. I am a full-time Truckee resident and work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to check in and play with your pets! Here most weekends as well. I prioritize your pet's well being, adhering to routines and ensuring a clean environment. Trust is paramount; I maintain your pet's space meticulously, respecting privacy, and providing attentive, reliable care.

Emmersyn is a total pro at pet care. She has so much experience and also just loves doing it. She sent so many great updates and photos. It’s so nice not having to worry about our senior cat when we go away. We went to teach her how to give our cat subcutaneous fluids but she already knew how! You’d be lucky to have her!

Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.

So glad to have found Zac on Rover. Went on my first international trip in years and really needed to know my cat and dog were in great hands. He not only took fantastic care of my guys, he was great with communication (sent me pics or videos every day), the house looked great when I got home, and he even did some extra unexpected “snow maintenance” for me! Really appreciate him and will definitely book with him in the future. Actually signed up with him for dog walks!

About: As a pet lover and dog mom myself, your pets are my priority and I love getting to meet new dog and cat friends! I am comfortable with pets in all shapes and sizes, and have extensive experience with anxious animals, as my own dog is quite the shy guy. I live in Alpine Meadows and work at Palisades Tahoe, and am happy to give your pets the care they deserve on my off days and before/after work! I work at Palisades Tahoe as a ski instructor and live in the Donner Lake area. I typically work Friday-Sunday with evenings off. I can be flexible if needed! My dog is super friendly and he gets taken out every 3-5 hours if possible. I try to walk him every day, as well as letting him socialize with other pups!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience and dedication to personalized pet care. Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals and living next to a farm provided me with invaluable hands-on experience in animal care from a young age. My commitment to ensuring each dog feels safe, loved, and engaged during their time with me makes my services exceptional. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and deeply passionate about the well-being of every pet I care for. I do work full time but on days I do work, I will be able to provide walks in the morning and in the early evening! I would love to work out a schedule that works best for you and your pet ! I recently moved to truckee and live very close to hiking and walking trails where I would be able to walk your pet. My house has a spacious, fenced in front yard where your pet could play!

About: I have taken care of a lot of different animals including dogs, cats, cows, horses, sheep, goats, chickens etc. I feel confident that your pets will have a nice time hanging out with me and they will be safe and well fed. I am working as a river guide a couple of days a week so I will be unavailable while on the river. Other than that, I have an open schedule. I am living in my van so I cannot host. I spend most of my time outside so I would love to care for your pets at your home. I think that place is important and would be interested to see how your animals act when they are at home.

Sky was great with our babies! She was very communicative and gave us updates and pictures every day that she watched our dog and two cats. She also left our home squeaky clean and even made our bed when I told her she didn't have to. I will definitely book with Sky in the future!
