“Melissa was amazing with my australian shepherd Levi! She was super flexible about scheduling, communicative during his stay, shared lots of photos and videos, and has a lovely dog-friendly set up. I felt reassured knowing Levi was in good hands while we were away and he came back from his stay a happy pup! We will definitely be using Melissa again!”


“Sophia was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, always quick to respond, and showed such genuine sweetness towards our cat, Jackson. Despite Jackson's initial shyness, he warmed up to Sophia in no time. We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. Highly recommended!”


“Danielle was super easy to coordinate with and very responsive. She made it as easy as possible, especially when we had little experience using Rover. On top of that, she has a few great dogs to keep our Lucy company and took great care of them! Please reach out to Danielle next time you need care in Tahoe city”


“Christie took care of my Lab Willie for a short stay and I was very happy with her professionalism and the care she gave to my pup. She has two good dogs that Willie played with and she took them for a swim at a lake. She communicated well through the Rover site and sent me a few photos of Willie playing and swimming. I definitely recommend Christie!”


“This was my first time leaving my pup for more than a night or two. Kathy was wonderful! She sent daily updates and took great care of my fur baby. Charlie was exhausted when he came home. All day play with her sweet dog Gypsy was great for him! I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with Kathy. I will definitely use Kathy in the future weather it be an overnight or a play day or walk. Highly recommended!!”


“Jessica looked after Archie and cared for him as if he were her own pet. She shared photos of him having fun and playing a ton. Archie seemed super happy to be there! Would highly recommend anyone to book her services!”


“Fantastic. Nettie is very good with dogs and my Tilly probably got more attention and exercise that could give her. I've learned that Nettie hikes daily, so if your dog loves to hike, Nettie is the one, plus the absolute love your dog will receive. She has a nice backyard, so there's plenty of room for running around.”


“Thank you for your help Westan!! Westan watched our dog and cat and they both loved him! I think Aspen wouldn’t have minded if we stayed away a few days longer so she could spend more time with him! ?”


“Giovana was a great sitter! Very reliable and sent lots of pics. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for the weekend. I can tell Shea was very well loved over the weekend by Giovana and her family!”


“Christina and fam are wonderful! It's very clear that they deeply care for their own pets and did everything possible to make sure our two little old ladies were right at home. For me, one of the biggest ways to tell how things went is during pick up. When I got there, my dogs were of course excited to see me but clearly felt right at home with Christina, weren't stressed out or any of those other kinds of things you might look out for. We are so pleased with everything, we are booking again!”


“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.”


“If I could create the perfect dog sitters, I couldn't come up with better people than Patty and Randy! They are the kindest, friendliest, most conscientious people I have ever met! They took in our happy, motley crew of 3 dogs and treated them like royalty. They were coddled, hugged, walked, talked to, and had wonderful new playmates (Randy and Patty's pups and cats) to have fun with. We received lots of communications and updates, and we felt really at ease knowing our girls were with this loving couple. Thank you soOOO much!!!!!”


“Melissa was fantastic! She let me drop Juno off a few hours early. She then sent me many photos of her activities with Juno over the course of her stay. And when I picked Juno up, Melissa gave me the most adorable printed photo of Juno. Juno seemed very happy. Melissa was very responsive and great to deal with. Would definitely return!”


“Heather took such wonderful care of our high energy boy—taking him for daily adventures, providing lots of comfy cuddles, and coddling his whining while he was anxious. She even took the time to work with him on the heel command. I think he probably had more fun in Tahoe than we did this weekend!”


“Kelsie took excellent care of Murphy while we were away from 8AM to 10PM for a wedding. Kelsie was prompt to arrive at the drop off and pick up location, easy to communicate with and sent pictures as requested. Murphy was happy when we picked him up, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Kelsie again.”


“Leaving your pet with someone is never easy, but Susan made me feel entirely comfortable from when we did our meet & greet! During my dog's stay, she sent lots of pictures and I could tell my pup was having the best time. Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future, as my experience with her was absolutely amazing!”


“I was brand new to the area with no established pet sitter and needed to travel last minute. Local kennels couldn’t accommodate me on such short notice. A Google search turned up the Rover app which in turn brought me to Gina and Erik. They had good reviews and repeat customers, so I contacted them via the app. They could accommodate me, had good prices, and asked me if I wanted to come see their home first. My cat is both a mama’s boy and a bit of a scaredy cat. I’d never boarded him before. I was worried he’d think he’d been abandoned again. (He’d been a stray after being adopted as a kitten. He was nine when I adopted him.) He was anxious at first, but in the pictures and videos that Gina and Erik sent, I could see that he was relaxing with them more each day. On the day I was to drive back home, I woke with a migraine. There was no way I could do the drive. I had to ask for an additional day with no advance notice. Fortunately Gina and Erik were able to keep my cat one day longer. Also, I forgot to mention the poopy mess that Gina helped me clean up when I first dropped him off. They provided me with above and beyond service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”


“Love Marcello, he took such great care of my baby Meadow and sent so many photos. I felt so comfortable leaving her with him while we went ski’ing. Whenever I am in Tahoe, Marcello will def be my first choice! Place is less than 5 min away for Stagecoach - Heavenly. He was very responsive to all my text and questions!”


“Luke’s friendly and professional manner put us at ease, and we knew our dog was in good hands. Luke thoughtfully kept us updated through our dog’s stay. Luke provided substantial outdoor walking time and behavior tips that were greatly appreciated. We are booked for another stay. It is great working with a pro!”


“Aaron and his family were amazing with my puppy. It was my first time boarding her at someone’s home and I was a bit worried, but my dog seemed to really enjoy her stay. I was sent photos of her walking and playing with the kids. Aaron was very communicative, timely in his responses, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. I would highly recommend them!”
