“Gina & Erik were wonderful! They always kept us updated with pictures and made sure our dog was very well taken care of. Would 100% recommend and would use them again.”
“Megan took such great care of our two high maintenance doggies. Nina got all the cuddles and people time she wanted. Jack (our shy puppy) got comfortable with other dogs, playing with them and even sleeping side by side. It's great to get so many pics while we were away and to see them both so happy. Thanks so much Megan - truly appreciate the loving care you provide! Reid, Serita, Jack and Nina”
“Lil Bear seemed happy when I picked him up! Which is always a good sign that his visit went well. Arron always got back to me promptly when I checked in and sent pictures. Very much appreciated. Thanks Arron and Devine for taking care of Lil Bear!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Adam and Lauren took exceptional care of my boy Davos. He got to run and play in their large yard, they took him hiking and swimming and wore my pup out❤️. Their super easy to organize and communicate with and very accommodating on drop off and pick up times. Happily recommend thrm to take care of your furbabies.”
“We left our 1-year-old pup with Nayla and Zeina for 5 days and they took SUCH great care of him! He loves being outdoors and Nayla took the dogs on off-leash walks twice a day, as well as made sure our pup was comfortable and ‘at home’ in her home. It was our first time leaving him with someone and Nayla very kindly sent lots of photos and videos. It was clear our pup was LOVING his time playing with Nayla, Zeina, and their many other dog friends too. Nayla was also super helpful and flexible in coordinating drop off and pickup for times that would work with our flights. Overall it was such a great experience and we can’t recommend Nayla enough!!”
“Tim was fantastic! His communication with me prior to and during our sit was great. He sent photos and updates while he had Glacier and responded quickly when I had questions. Tim described a silly behavior of Glacier’s that he only does when he’s extremely happy, so I knew he was being well taken care of. Tim also took G on a walk along the river. Tim had another dog there while Glacier was there and seemed to easily be able to navigate the two during feeding times, play times, etc. Also a plus, his house is very easy to find! I absolutely recommend Tim!”
“Very friendly and caring! She kept us updated as much as possible, which really gave us peace of mind. A special thank you for taking such great care of her and for accepting our last-minute booking. We truly appreciate your kindness and flexibility. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care-taker for our 60lb Vizsla. She was accommodating, communicative, and thoughtful, and cared for George as if he was her own. She made sure that as an active dog, he was adequately stimulated, and she made sure he was comfortable in his foreign environment while we were away. In addition, she made sure to send us updates in a nonintrusive yet fully transparent way. As dog parents, we felt calm and confident that George was in safe and loving hands. This is all we could wish for while away from our pup! Would 10/10 recommend. Thanks, Jennifer!”
“emily was amazing! our nervous pup walked right into her house and gave her little hand kisses which is always a great sign. emily was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. she wanted to keep the pups on the same routine that they have at home which was so sweet. would book with her again when we’re back in the tahoe area.”
About: Dogs are part of the family in my home, and I’ll treat yours the same way. I have a large yard with plenty of room to play and relax, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable inside (including cuddling up on the couch). I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. My family includes a larger Labradoodle and a small Chihuahua/Terrier mix, both older, so I am also very comfortable with senior dogs and their needs. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re here. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have dogs of my own. I work from home often and have plenty of flexibility for playtime, potty breaks, attention, and lots of cuddles. Your dog will be included in my normal family routine and get plenty of time both inside outside in my large yard. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely. Inside, dogs are treated like family and are welcome to relax, including on the couch. I have both a larger Labradoodle and a small Chihuahua/Terrier mix, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. Our dogs are older and my home is relaxed, loving, and dog-friendly.
“Gina and Gil took such good care of Charlie while we were out of town. I know Charlie enjoyed being able to wander outside in the fenced yard and sunshine to his heart's content. Domingo and Bruiser were nice to Charlie even though he's old. Gina sent me pictures every day! As soon as Charlie got home he knocked out, tired and happy from his sleepover. Would definitely book again.”
About: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs. From growing up with two golden retrievers to getting my own dog louie at 17- and seeing him through his senior years all the way up until his passing this past February. We still have his sweet loving sister Nala who is 5, a tender gentle girl who lives for fetch! She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life. My husband Louie (my dog Louie came first they just happened to have the same name! lol) is also an animal lover and instantly adopted my babies upon meeting and has always treated them with tender and diligent care. We are responsible loving and caring pet parents who take the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward hearing from you. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create with plenty of time to work around the needs of the animals I am caring for. We currently live in a home with an enclosed deck space, however whenever we aren't home we keep the windows and doors completely shut and locked.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tahoe City is $66 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $139 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tahoe City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Tahoe City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tahoe City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tahoe City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Tahoe City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
