“Nate did a great job taking care of Maya, our 4 yr old Bernedoodle, while we were away for a long weekend. He sent pics every day and was very responsive to inquiries. He left the house completely tidy. We will definitely use Nate again!”
About: I have taken care of family pets since childhood. I loved caring for my cats, dog, fish, mouse, rabbits, chickens and snake! I’ll love your pets and make sure all their needs are met. I’m currently working part time on weekends so I’ve got lots of free time for pet care. I hike or run ever day so I’d love to take dogs on these adventures. I’m a caring house sitter and leave homes clean and neat. I will care for pets in their own homes or take them for walks in the area. I’m happy to transport a pet in my climate controlled vehicle to exercise areas nearby.
“⭐ 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!”
“Jessica took great care of our pup. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and familiarity with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving town knowing she was taking care of our 9 month old puppy. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Leo was right at home with Olivia. She stayed with him in my home, took amazing care of both. She is calm, communicative, and really took the time to understand my expression of Leo’s needs. I highly recommend her, and will be booking with her again very soon!”
“Maddie was great with our dog Sophie. She kept her entertained with many walks and other outdoor activities. She sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. We came home to a very happy dog. Thanks Maddie”
About: As a pet lover and dog mom myself, your pets are my priority and I love getting to meet new dog and cat friends! I am comfortable with pets in all shapes and sizes, and have extensive experience with anxious animals, as my own dog is quite the shy guy. I live in Alpine Meadows and work at Palisades Tahoe, and am happy to give your pets the care they deserve on my off days and before/after work! I work at Palisades Tahoe as a ski instructor and live in the Donner Lake area. I typically work Friday-Sunday with evenings off. I can be flexible if needed! My dog is super friendly and he gets taken out every 3-5 hours if possible. I try to walk him every day, as well as letting him socialize with other pups!
About: I grew up with a dog in my family the majority of my life. I lived near the beach so almost everyday I would walk her down to the beach and play fetch with her, because I knew it was her favorite. In high school I would also wake up super early and walk her before I left for school. I just love spending time with dogs I’m currently in the shoulder season of restaurant business right now so not many shifts are being offered at the moment so I’m trying to incorporate this into my schedule. Things may change later in the end of the month as Tahoe will get busier but I’m trying to do this right now. Honestly I love taking pets on walks, just to give them the opportunity to get there exercise and the chance for them to use the bathroom. Also I’ll make sure that they’re getting the attention they need.
“Caroline took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She arrived on time, sent us regular updates and photos, left the house spotless and even did laundry! The dogs took to Caroline right away and she walked them daily. We’ll definitely be reaching out again.”
“Layla is so wonderful and attentive. She was amazing with keeping us updated and with photos. Best of all she totally understood our slightly anxious, energetic pup. She’s super reliable and also just good people in general. We are so grateful we found her here!!”
“We are so glad we booked Sarah! It was our first time using Rover and she did a home stay with our dog. She sent so many fun pic updates and was flexible when my flight home was delayed. I felt like Judah was in great hands and I hope we can work together again in the future! Super grateful we found Sarah! Truly puts our mind at ease for last minute trips.”
“Malea was absolutely amazing! She sent us tons of pictures, frequent updates and went out of her way to give our dog a mini vacation while we were gone. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Alli is simply amazing. She was fantastic watching our sweet fur girl for five nights in our home, loving on her, taking her to the dog park and playdates, and just being an all around great substitute dog mom. She also took excellent care of our home. She is a gem, will definitely use her services again - would highly highly recommend!!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Enzo! I loved getting pictures and pupdates. Very flexible with scheduling and pick up and drop off times. Communicative and responsive. Looks like Enzo had an amazing week 😊”
“Grace took care of our 2 high maintenance dogs while we were visiting family over the holidays and they were in excellent hands. Communication and flexibility about timing and our pups’ needs was superb. We could not have been more relaxed knowing our furbabies were being lovingly cared for. Would definitely book with Grace again!”

⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend Liz enough! She took incredible care of Bruno and treated him like family.

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 stayed at our house and watched our two dogs at the last minute over a holiday weekend. We can’t thank him enough and thought he did a great job handling our two reactive and scared dogs. He came over and met the dogs two days before our trip, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Scott.
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.
Zac was great house sitting our two dogs! He took great care of them and our place while we were gone for about a week. We have two big dogs, one of whom is a bit tricky (reactive with strange dogs), and we really appreciated him taking the time to meet with us and the pups in advance to get family with them. Highly recommend, and we plan to book with him again!
Sam took excellent care of our two cats and dog while we were at the hospital having our baby. Sam was flexible and available to housesit whenever the baby arrived (which happened to be a few days early). Sam was dependable and communicative and a great houseguest. Most importantly our pets were well cared for. I will definitely be booking Sam again!
