“Zoey had a great time at Kymberlys! She seemed happy and calm in the videos she sent and seemed to warm up to her fast. She went on walks and visits to the park in the short time we were away and it seemed she was in great hands! :) Will definitely book with her again.”

“I had a last minute trip and Melissa took great care of my pup while I was away! She was flexible with my early drop off time and very responsive. Thank you!”

“We left our beloved Poodle and Airedale plus another Poodle we were babysitting while we were at a destination wedding in Tahoe. This was a difficult decision for us as our dogs have never ever been left with someone else. We couldn't have been more happy. Beautiful home, Beautiful yard and loving care. My dogs, while confused, were instantly at ease. Kathy sent pictures and updates though out the dogs stay. It was easy on us and easy on the dogs. I would recommend Kathy in a second and if I have the chance to go to tahoe again, I would use her again in a second. The best picture was the two standard poodles sitting with her on her couch one on the left and one on the right. Thanks again Kathy.”

About: I am Andi, mom to 12-year-old Henry. Henry LOVES dogs and is excited to host some new dog friends in our home. Henry and I will work together to make sure your dog is happy, healthy, exercised, fed and loved. We had an elderly dog who we loved dearly, who passed over the rainbow doggie bridge, so to speak, in May. We are used to administering medicine and taking care of all types of dogs because of him. We also have a toddler in our home so dogs must tolerate little kids. Andi is home full-time to be with your dog. Henry goes to school Monday - Friday but is excited to help on weekends and after school. We live in a neighborhood without fences. We will walk your dog as many times per day as they need. They can be on leash or off leash depending on recall and temperament.
“Faith is an absolute gem of a dog sitter, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I reached out last minute — the kind of request most sitters would turn down without a second thought — and she said yes without hesitation. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled Atlas’s anxiety. She didn’t treat it as an inconvenience; she approached it with patience and genuine care, and it made such a difference knowing my pup was in calm, understanding hands rather than just being “watched.” On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and even made a special exception for me when I needed a time outside her normal hours. She didn’t make me feel like a burden for asking — she just made it work. That kind of grace is rare. And the updates! She check-ins with photos and messages that were so reassuring. You could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions — she actually cared how he was doing. If you have a dog with any special needs or anxiety, Faith is your person. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Faith! 🐾”

“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 !!”

“Melanie took great care of my dogs and dropped them off before we arrived! She was lovely to communicate with and my dogs seemed happy and healthy when we got him. Her place on the hill with the fenced in area looked lovely for the dogs. Will definitely use Melanie again!”

“Patty and Randy were wonderful!! They are very kind and sweet people who took great care of our dog, Penny. When we went to pick up our pup, she was so happy to see us, yet we could tell she had been loved and felt comfortable in their home. Our pup jumped on us to say hello and jumped on Patty as to say goodbye, but thanks for watching me! :) We will definitely have Patty and Randy watch Penny again on our next trip!”

“Christina did a fantastic job looking after our dog Aphro over Christmas and New Year’s. She treated Aphro like one of her family and kept us up-to-date on how well she was doing. I fully recommend Christina as a top rated Rover sitter and will definitely book her next time!”

“My boys had a great time with Jessica. She spoiled them with fun walks, playtime outside and comfy rests in the couch lol. She sent photos to let me know they were having fun and it was so comforting to know they were in loving care. We were able to enjoy our night out without guilt or worry. Absolutely recommend 100%! One of the best River sitters we’ve had. Also a very convenient location when visiting the South Lake Tahoe area. If we get back this way, we will use her again. Five woods from Grizzly and Bear!”

“This is the second time we booked with Susan. Susan and her family were perfect for my high-energy baby. They gave him more play time and attention that he probably gets at home! We highly recommend her!”

“We continue to use Susan every time we go out of town. We love knowing he is going to be taken care of, and that he gets to spend his days on long hikes playing with Susan and her dogs. Thank you Susan!”

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.
“Aaron knew Zeus from walking him previously, so we were thrilled when he was willing & able to have Zeus stay in his home while we were away. Thank you Aaron and family for taking such good care of our mutt.”

“I am so happy with the care Sarge received!! He’s little and old and I was nervous to leave him, but Kristin was kind and accommodating of his picky eating habits, and sent lovely updates. Absolutely will look to them again for our next trip!!!”

“Melissa watched our two kitties for just a day while we had some work done at our house. She was a life saver. The kitties were a little nervous at first, but she helped them come out of their shell by providing a quiet and peaceful space. She took great care of them. Highly recommend Melissa :)”

This was our first boarding experience with Kaeleigh and it was incredible- there was a huge fenced in yard for my dog Kuma to play, she took her for hikes and swims, and updated me with pictures and videos. Kaeleigh even made her homemade dog treats and sent me home with some. I couldn’t recommend her enough and am so grateful that our dog received such amazing care.
