Pet Sitting in Truckee

About: I have had animals my whole life, though not professionally, but I have taken care of mine and friends animals now for many years. When friends are out of town or at work all day I will take their dogs on walks/hikes or to the lake for some swimming. I do work a full-time job but my job allows me to get out at a decent time so I enjoy hiking and walks after I get out of work so I wouldn't mind a furry buddy with me as I enjoy the outdoors! I already do it for some friends so I might as well offer it up to anyone that would like their pets to get outside more. I have 2 cats so I can't have a dog in the house, which is why I can only offer my services for dog walking or drop in visits.

“Jackson was very responsive and went the extra mile, clearing snow after a storm and always finding the cats under the furniture for a picture. Would hire again without question.”

About: I love caring for animals and can provide exercise for an active lifestyle or TLC for a calming presence. I am comfortable giving medications, and I can maintain your training specifications. I make my own work schedule and can generally accommodate your pet’s timing needs with a few days notice. I am available most week days and weekends. I have an active dog and senior cat, that also remains active. My free time is spent spoiling them. I have also fostered for the humane society at times.

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.

“We were visiting Truckee to ski for a weekend and brought our 5 month old puppy! Chloe spent a few hours with her each day and was amazing - she was super communicative, reliable, and friendly. We will definitely contact her next time we are in Tahoe!”

“Mariah was great with our Pup. She has a gentle spirit and follows instructions well. We would gladly use her services again, should the need arise.”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and care giver. I’ve cared and loved my own dog for 14 years now. Along with dogs I have owned/cared for cats, rats, and lizards. When I was younger I worked on a farm and developed a deep love for animals. I live a very active lifestyle and would be stoked to take your pet out for walks, runs, hikes, and beach day swimming! I have a large vehicle which has easy transportation for bigger dogs. I take the time to establish a genuine connection with your pet and want to foster a bond built on mutual understanding and respect. Having trust from you and your pet is an important relationship to have. I want you to be sure that your furry loved one and your home is being taken care of in the safest and best way possible for you. I am a full time worker and van-lifer. My home is on wheels which makes it easy to move around to meet your home sitting needs. I’m not able to host animals in my home. Coming to your home is the best option, and making your pet feel safe and comfortable is #1!

About: Hi there, I’m Olivia and can’t wait to meet your fur family! My parents had a sweet spot for rescues and adopted dogs from shelters throughout my childhood. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds/sizes, ages, personalities, and levels of health. Over the past 15 years I have also sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I work remotely for a local company so my availability is pretty flexible and will allow me to be with your pup(s) as often as needed. Safety is my top priority. They will be leashed for potty breaks if there isn’t a fenced yard at home and on walks, especially while exploring busy trails and beaches.

About: Hi, I’m Liz! Dogs have been part of my life since I was young, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs in a variety of in-home settings, including longer-term stays ranging from several months to over a year. I’ve built strong, lasting bonds with each dog, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and needs. More recently, I’ve been providing in-home care for dogs in their own environments, including households with multiple pets. I focus on keeping routines consistent so each dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I aim to meet each dog where they are. Pet care is my primary focus, which allows me to spend quality time with the dogs I care for and be attentive to their needs throughout the day. I’m also comfortable supporting older dogs, including monitoring activity levels and helping limit strain (such as excessive jumping) to keep them comfortable and safe. I also care for cats as part of a combined household, and I’m attentive to their individual routines and personalities as well. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect reliability, clear communication, and regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I feel genuinely grateful for the wonderful clients and animals I work with, and it means a lot to me to care for pets who are so clearly loved. I’d love to meet you and your dog. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play, and give your pups love and attention, keeping them happy and safe. I care for dogs in their home, giving individualized attention, walks, and playtime. With experience in multi-dog households and extended stays, I ensure each pup feels safe and loved.

About: I am an experienced dog walker with a background in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue work, and in-home pet sitting. I have lifelong experience with dogs and focus on providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to make sure each dog is comfortable, exercised, and well cared for during every walk. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I dedicate my time to dog walking and pet care services in the Truckee area. I keep a limited schedule so I can provide reliable, consistent, and focused care for each pet. This allows me to prioritize safety, communication with owners, and quality time with every dog I work with. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and respectful care in each pet’s familiar environment or during walks. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain routines, and prioritize each animal’s comfort and well-being. With experience in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue, and in-home pet sitting, I understand how important consistency, patience, and observation are. I make sure pets are always secure, supervised, and treated with calm, reliable handling.

“Mickenzie did a great job watching taking care of Socks and Kitt last week. She made sure that they were feed during their usual schedule and cleaned their litter boxes twice a day. She even took photos for each visit. Socks seemed to be very comfortable around her. Kitt is still shy, but that is how she has always been around other people. I would be happy to have her take care of them while I am out of town again.”

“Lindi was great and took very good care of our boy. She even dealt with a situation that we needed help with while we were on the plane heading to our vacation. Thanks so much!”

Mark C.

“Malea was literally the best! From her communication- punctual arrival - and extra love for our new puppy. So many wonderful pictures and I absolutely trust her to come take care of our girl anytime. We got so lucky having Malea and will def use her again! She's the best!”

Lisah K.

“Avery’s was great! She went above and beyond to drop in and walk my two large hounds, including my 9 month old puppy! She video called with me ahead of her visit and left a sweet note, took pics. I will definitely ask her to take care of my pups again! Highly recommend her!”

About: Everything will be done to keep your dog safe, healthy, calm, and happy while they are in my care. All visits include the following: lots of walks tracked with strava, photo updates, and extra love. Your best friend will get filtered water from fresh bowls each day, and only give your dog food and treats that you provide. You deserve what you want during your dogs stay. Consider this a vacation for your dog, and that all their needs will be taken care of so you can enjoy your time on your vacation, staycation, or day trip. Skiers and Snowboarders, drop them for the day with confidence in my expertise. Your dog is the foundation of my routine. I love to work, and cherish the opportunity to provide my high level services for your dog so that you can enjoy your time without them. All dogs get extra love in the mornings, and structure during walks. Assuming our dogs get along I’ll let them play. If needed, I’ll keep my guy from being too friendly, and I am prepared to keep dogs separated if they aren’t the best fit to be together. But I also limit how many dogs I take at once, to keep things easy on me.

About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.

“I’m so thankful for Caitlyn! Due to an accident I had a last minute request. I felt so much better knowing that she was going to be caring for my animals and it helped take some of the stress off of what I was dealing with. Caitlyn took great care of them and I hope to book with her again .”

“Gus was very happy with his walk and visit with Sage.”

About: I have extensive experience with every kind of pet. Growing up, I had four dogs and two cats. When I got older, I began fostering dogs and cats of my own. By now, I have fostered around 50 pets all of various ages with varying needs. I have trained puppies, administered medications, and cleaned more litter boxes than I can count. I have a love for animals that I feel allows me to provide them with the best quality of care. I started my own Pet Care Business at just 9 years old and was complimented on my timeliness, care of the home, and active communication through photos/ texts with the families I am pet sitting for. I am currently working as a ski instructor with weekends and breaks off. I am home every day by 4 p.m. and prioritize an active schedule where I will walk and provide a lot of play time to animals. I am available to watch your pets 7 days a week and have a lot of experience in home visits as well. My free time will be spent making sure that your pet feels love, security, and tail wags while you are away. I have 10 years of experience with entering other people’s home for pet care. I am trustworthy, timely, and give high quality of care to the homes and pets I interact with.
