“⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend Liz enough! She took incredible care of Bruno and treated him like family. From daily walks, snuggling to playtime, Bruno was happy and relaxed the entire time. Bruno loves Liz! On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned—everything just as I left it. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for Bruno truly sets her apart. I trust Liz again and again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone dependable, friendly, responsible and caring, look no further!”
“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.”
“Windsor was wonderful with our dog and cat> she took great care of our house and animals while we were out of town. Easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We would love to use her again!”
“Averyl took great care of Banshee and our home. She shared wonderful updates, took Bansh on some nice hikes, and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
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 live an active mountain lifestyle and am great with dogs that love getting outside, but 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. I promise to care for your animals the same way I’d want someone caring for mine ❤️ I work remotely running my own accounting 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 prioritize your pet's well being, adhering to routines and ensuring a clean environment. Trust is so important; I maintain your pet's space meticulously, respecting privacy, and providing attentive, reliable care.
“Maddie took fantastic care of my senior dog. She was highly communicative for the entirety of my vacation, sending me daily photos and updates on how he was doing and their activities each day. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Aaron was fantastic! Redford had an amazing time; they went on plenty of walks and adventures, and I could tell he was really well cared for. Aaron also stayed at my house and left it in perfect condition. I'd highly recommend Aaron; he’s great!”
“Lidia did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my 7 month old kitten while I was away. She was communicative throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. She was also flexible, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my kitten’s needs. I would absolutely hire Lidia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She was a pleasure to work with!”
“Caitlyn took excellent care of my dog, Wilfred. She was always quick to respond to any questions of mine and would send plenty of pictures. Caitlyn was also flexible with some last minute schedule changes which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend Caitlyn for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“Zac is wonderful. He sent pictures and updates during his stay with our dogs and left the house tidy and in order. We thought we might miss our connecting flight home and Zac asked if he could do anything at our home to make things easier for us when we got back. We will absolutely continue using Zac!”
About: Friends and family can always relay on me to take care of their pet when needed. Love giving them the attention they want and deserve!

I’ll take care of your dog just how you would like me to and send photos if you miss them and want to know everything is ok!
“I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!”

Sage was a wonderful house sitter companion for our dog Buddha. Lively, energetic and caring, she pampered our pup while we were away for a day. Always sending photos of their adventures together, and keeping up communication with questions about his care. When we returned our home was clean with obvious extra effort involved. We highly recommend Sage and hope to see her again.
Liz was absolutely wonderful! The moment she walked into our home the animals were comforted by her calm presence. She immediately bonded with our pets. She even took our active dog on two walks which made him feel so safe. We were able to away all day and knew our pets were being cared for by a compassionate caring person. Definitely will be reaching out to Liz again for pet sitting. Highly recommend.
Averyl was excellent in her care of our two grandogs, Bella and Harper. She connected immediately with both pups and gave them wonderful attention. We felt very confident leaving them in her care while our daughter and son-in-law were joined in matrimony. Averyl texted Maren and kept her apprised of how the pups were doing throughout the long day. They obviously had a great day with her because they were quite relaxed when our children arrived home that night. We would definitely contact her in the future and would be happy to refer her to anyone going up to Tahoe or Truckee who needs a capable and competent individual to care for their beloved pets.
We used Zac a second time and were really happy with him house sitting our dogs again. The dogs were super happy when we got back, he stayed on top of their meds, and the house looks great. We feel good trusting him with both Mac and Cody, the latter of whom is a bit tricky because he’s reactive with some other dogs. We highly recommend Zac for dog house sitting!
I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!
THE BEST!!! She is an amazing, caring, beautiful soul! Roxy loves her and will book her over and over again. She sent us photos all the time updating us on how Roxy is doing. For years we did not have anyone to take care of Roxy and finally Grace came like a blessing from the sky.
