“I recently had the pleasure of using Melissa to care for my dog, Mocha, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Melissa genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. And when she says, “you don’t need a dog bed”, you really don’t! Lol Mocha looked so comfortable and relaxed in her home, which immediately put me at ease. Melissa was incredibly accommodating, addressing all of Mocha's needs and keeping me updated throughout the stay. It's such a relief to know I have a reliable and caring person to leave Mocha with when I'm away. Highly recommend Melissa's services!”


“Kathy is absolutely amazing. We did a trial run because we r getting ready to go on a long vacation. She is so loving and sincerely cares. She has a wonderful dog of her own which my two frenchies loved. Plus she has a fenced in yard which is so important and makes me feel safe for my furries. It will be nice for the first time to go on vacation and not worry about my most adoring loves.”


“Luke did an awesome job watching our Mini Aussie! We were in the are for the day skiing at Palisades Tahoe as a stop on our road trip, and Luke helped us out so we could have some time to ski away from the pup. We got updates and videos, and he even took our dog for a long walk. Highly recommend, his training skills are great and super convenient location, great communication.”



“Ashley took great care of my dog while I had a ski day! She took him out for a snowshoeing hike and they settled down for cuddles afterwards. Would definitely recommend Ashley as a sitter!”


“Brad is an exceptional dog sitter. I dropped off my little shitzu Robbie with him as we were skiing for the day. Brad was very communicative and send me lots of pictures and videos of Robbie. He also took Robbie for a long walk on a trail with no car traffic. Brad is very attentive and I could tell that he takes dog care very seriously. This is exactly what I was looking for, someone who loves dogs and who gives them 100% attention. I highly recommend Brad to others.”


About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for over 25 years and have been pet sitting for nearly as long. I have over 10 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and have ample experience with administering medications of all kinds—your fur baby’s needs are my top priority! Goose and I lead a very active lifestyle—we walk multiple times daily and spend our weekends out enjoying all that Tahoe has to offer. We always welcome adventure buddies and would love it if your pup wants to be our +1 on our next adventure! I currently work from home 3 days a week. For Tahoe Donner residents, I can take your pup for a midday stroll during the work week (M, T, F). For all other Truckee folks I am available in the evenings on the days listed above and any time on the weekends. When I am spending time with your pup their safety and happiness is my number one priority. Unless a group walk is requested, they will receive one-on-one attention and affection. Working on training or need a brush up on on-leash manners? Ask me about training walks!

“Alex was so great with Pico!! Her dogs are well behaved and I would book with her again. She communicated with me promptly and sent pictures. I felt comfortable leaving Pico with Alex. She was very nice and took great care of Pico.”


“My pup had a fantastic time with Skyline! She went out for a long hike with other friends in the morning and then played at the beach in the afternoon, and by the time we brought her home, she was so happy and tired. Skyline was very communicative, clearly cared for my pup and her other dogs, and was flexible around a scheduling mistake that I made. Will definitely book her again!”


“Katie took great care of our dog during our stay in Truckee. Lots of play time in the snow. Katie was very kind, communicative and shared terrific photos of our dog enjoying her day. Highly recommend Katie for your dog too!”


“Malea was fantastic! She’s accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She was timely and quickly engaged my dogs so they were happy to follow her anywhere. They were so well cared for that they were totally relaxed after we returned. We’ll definitely call on her again. Ellie J.”


“Johanna is amazing! I highly recommend booking doggy daycare with her. I’m so grateful she was able to take in my pup on such short notice. My boyfriend and I planned a last-minute day trip to Northstar and desperately needed a sitter since our usual sitter was out of town. We reached out to Johanna the night before and received a response within the hour. She went above and beyond by meeting us at Northstar to pick up my pup, which was such a huge help! My girl is a handful, so I was beyond impressed that she slept the entire 4.5-hour drive home—Johanna definitely made sure she got plenty of exercise! Thank you so much, Johanna ❤️”

From secure play areas to carefully selected toys, I've taken measures to create a space where pets can explore, play, and relax without worry.

About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.


“Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful! Not only was she flexible on pick up time to accommodate Sunday traffic from the mountain, but she’s extremely responsive and easy to reach, perfect caretaker for your fur baby. Oliver was so at ease in her home, walking right in, and smiling on his walks and playing with Emily’s baby. Great rover! Will use her again if back in Tahoe!”


“Ashlee was great, very conscientious of our puppy’s first experience with being left with a sitter, she was kind hearted and loving towards her and did her best to make her feel welcome and at home while we were away. Ashlee’s place is well suited for animals with lots of space, a large fenced in yard, and plenty of entertainment.”


About: My partner and I both grew up with cats and dogs in our households and we love pet sitting! We do not have any animals of our own due to frequent travel and not wanting the long-term commitment at this point in life, but Rover a great opportunity to fill the void of not having animals around. My boyfriend works remotely and I work on a hybrid schedule with the opportunity to come home for lunch on the days I’m in office. We have ample time to tend to pets and we enjoy getting outside for walks to break up our workdays. Having grown up with many pets, I'm comfortable with them being on furniture and having them feel at home in my space. I believe the best way for animals to feel comfortable is by sticking to their normal daily schedule.
