“Stephanie took amazing care of my pup. I got photo and message updates everyday. It really felt like he became a part of her family for the week. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“It was very easy to book with Gabriel the day prior to my short trip to Tahoe. He was very responsive and flexible with both pick up and drop off. My 7 mo old puppy stayed for one night. I would book again if I do another quick trip to Tahoe.”
“Lyndsey was amazing with dog Tulee! She was so kind, took her on multiple walks, sent me many pictures & videos throughout the day and had great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!”
“Pepe stayed with Adam for a few days when I went on a work trip. Super easy communication during the entire process leading up to dropping Pepe off. Once I did, Adam did a great job, taking Pepe out for runs on his one-wheel and hiking around the area. Would definitely recommend!”
“Teresa was great with my dog Pappy- she listened to what he liked and was able to take him trail hiking to play in the creek away from other dogs. She sent me photos and videos each day and made me feel at ease that he was well taken care of. Will definitely call her again should the need arise!”
“My family was on a short vacation and didn't realize dogs were not allowed where we stayed. I contacted Laura and she accepted my boarding request quickly and even came to picked up our pup. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day and I must say our doggy had a vacation herself! Laura took her on a beautiful walk through the snow and then another to the beach. Our pup then got to play with Laura's two dogs. I cannot recommend Laura enough and I will certainly be contacting her to watch our girl next time we vist!”
“Teeda was wonderful! Very responsive, sent photos and updates, making us feel secure knowing our Pup was safe and enjoying his stay! Thank you so much, will definitely contact you in the future ❤️”
“Melissa watched my dog Alia for a few days while I was out of town. She was great! I would leave Alia with Melissa anytime. Melissa was friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept Alia happy and healthy with lots of walks and love. I also received a bunch of super cute photos of Alia every day. It was perfect. Thanks Melissa!”
“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”
“We were visiting Tahoe and needed a sitter last minute for our small Velcro dog for a day. Laura was amazing, our dog promptly claimed her lap as his place of leisure. She took our fur baby on multiple walks and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and texts. I highly recommend her, she has a beautiful house, a lovely family and an adorably gentle dog.”
“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!”
About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“Melissa took such great care of Kuma! I loved getting photos and updates, it made feel so secure that Kuma was receiving excellent care. Melissa is a true dog lover and it shines through.”

About: Hello, I am a local who lives full time in Tahoe City. I've been a pet owner with both dogs and cats for the last 30+years. I am a mother of two grown children that are now off away at school. I work at the local elementary school with young children of special needs. I am a fun, caring and loving person who loves both animals and humans. I don't have any pets living with me so your pet would be the only one I would be caring for. I am free to take care of your pet most days, nights and some weekends. I work from home during the summer months so my schedule is always flexible. I currently live in a condo down the street from Lake Tahoe. There are numerous parks at the lake as well as many hiking trails to walk your dog at that are close by my place. I will always walk your dogs on a leash unless otherwise informed by owner to let run free in the woods and trails. I am very safe and responsible.

“Jaclyn is the best! She communicates very well and gives our kitties the love and attention they need while we are gone. We also have a special needs cat and she handles him perfectly. We would recommend Jaclyn to anybody and feel so lucky to be one of her clients!”
“So lucky Alexis was available to drop in for my kitty for 10 days over the holidays! Third time booking with her and she is simply the best. Very thoughtful and thorough and I know she gives my kitty so much love while she’s there. Thank you so much!”
“She was amazing! Super prompt, followed all our instructions perfectly, and gave our sweet boy lots of snuggles. She took the request on short notice, she was on time, very communicative, and even sent us a picture which we loved. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
About: Greetings. I’ve had a best friend who was with me everyday for 15 years. I was with her from the beginning to the end. I am sensitive to the needs of our dogs and always very aware of our surroundings. I’m ultra aware of the cayotes up here and all their tricks. With the new smells and distractions for some dogs that are not from here I always feel safer to keep them on leash during our walks. I live alone in a quiet cabin on a quiet street, no traffic and no neighbors. Big fenced back yard and a small gated front porch. I know all the trails in Sierra track as well as the whole area. I’m very flexible and will take care of all the little things that are needed and the unexpected ones that pop up. I know how stressfull it can be traveling and then leaving your best friend with someone. I will communicate with you and make it easy and stress free. It’s a big adjustment not having my sweet girl Francis. I was so used to waking up and she was there, or coming home and she was sitting in my spot waiting for me. Honestly this is good for me having a dog around. It’s helping with this process I’m going through. I am very flexible and available almost anytime and on short notice if life happens. I know how that goes. I know the trails and areas to go that are safe and fun. Im an early riser, and I enjoy mornings walks when it’s nice and quiet with no traffic or crowds of people. I have no problem with taking the pup with me in the car to run a quick errand or even better a day trip somewhere. Some dogs love car rides with the window down and nose out. And some do not. It’s all optional, absolutely no problems leaving him or her at home while I’m out for a sec. I primarily work from home and would be with him/her almost all the time. My dog Francis was a little attached. Maybe loyal is a better word. I was very lucky with her and didn’t have to worry too much. But I learned to never ever let anything happen to her. Very aware of our environment. Cars, other dogs, cayotes, bees , bodies of water and all weather conditions, hot pavement and even to always avoid the drains/grates in the roads ect. I’m not disactred by my phone or anything else. I’ll only feed what the owner approves.
“Very satisfied with our pet sitter. He fed our cats, cleaned their litter boxes, and played with them. He was also in constant communication so we got pictures and updates. We'll definitely hire them again.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family for the past ten years. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am open to boarding pets at my house. I am young and healthy and am able to take dogs on long walks or even runs depending on their energy level and how much exercise they need. I have also watched after senior pets and have had to stay on top of their medicine schedules, changing doggie dipers, etc. I live two blocks from a beautiful meadow and river and there are endless trails to take pets out to run around and play fetch while also getting away from the crowds. I also live ten minutes from a dog beach and a dog park. I work 7 days a week in the summertime from May-September as a licensed boat captain on Lake Tahoe. This is where I make most of my income. Despite a busy schedule I still can find time to look after some pets in the summer. In the winter I coach the Freeride Ski Team at Kirkwood Mountain, however this job is very infrequent and leaves me with loads of free time in the fall, winter, and spring. I have a fenced in yard at my home, as well as a crate if needed. At other homes, I always make sure the pet has plenty of water before leaving, as well as take care of any food or medicine routines that the owners have in place. I am also able to sleep at a clients house if that is needed.
“Caitlin was super easy to communicate and work with! Yeti had a great time hanging out during our visit to Tahoe and he came home happy and ready to snuggle and sleep!”
About: Dogs, cats, miniature donkeys, turtles, turkeys and chickens — I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid! I am the friend that wins over pets that play hard to get. I’m friendly, personable and love spending time playing with animals outside. I am looking to incorporate pets into my daily activities. I’m a very active person and go out to trail run, bike, swim, surf, etc everyday. I also work all over the city and am often in different necks of the wood. My afternoons are free to walk doggies and give them love. When going outside, I keep my eyes on pets or put a leash on them (depending on your preference). We are always prepared with water, snacks, toys and love.
About: I’ve had cats in my life since I was a small child, so caring for them feels second nature to me. I understand how unique every cat’s personality is—from the shy ones who need patience to the social butterflies who love constant attention. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for animals and my professional background as a personal assistant, which makes me highly reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive. I’m comfortable with senior cats, administering medications, and keeping routines consistent so your cat feels safe and secure while you’re away. I also don’t mind the less glamorous parts of cat care—like deep-cleaning litter boxes—because I know how much those small details matter to a cat’s comfort. My goal is always to make sure your cat is not just cared for, but truly comfortable and loved.
“Tish was wonderful with my kitty Mya! This was her first cat sit as she usually only watches dogs, but she was great and Mya is very happy to have a new friend. She was so happy with Tish, I even received plenty of photos from the visits which Mya does not let me take! Highly recommend Tish as a sitter for all pets : )”
About: Hello! I grew up with dogs and cats, I love them all. Big and small. I have experience with all ages and most breeds. I’ve fostered kittens/cats in the past. Animals are the only things that know true unconditional love. I have fur babies of my own and they are everything to me. When taking care of your fur babies I will be bringing my daughter. She is 4 and has been around many dogs. I will decide at our meet and greet if this would be a good fit for us. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you! I am an active person and would love to walk your dogs and provide a loving and safe environment for your fur babies. I am a stay at home Mom with plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and two friendly French bulldogs that will gladly keep your pump company. I have crate trained before and can crate your pup if that’s what you prefer.

“Teresa was fantastic! We reached out just three days before needing care for our two dogs, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with from the start. She sent us photo updates while we were away, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind. We were visiting from out of town, but we come to the area quarterly and will absolutely be using Teresa again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Diane was above and beyond, she was so attentive, helpful and flexible - it made the entire process so easy for me to organize. My puppy had the best time with her, he was so excited to go back the next day. Diane sent me lots of photos throughout the day so I was never wondering how my pup was, I knew he was is great hands, being taken on walks, having play time, getting treats, and given lots of love. I will only be using Diane when I am back in the area. I cannot recommend her enough!!!!”

“Lauren was a life saver with a last-minute booking. She responded quickly and was very communicative throughout the booking. Not only was she extremely friendly and professional, but she also went above and beyond with treats and walks to the beach. She was very thorough with our instructions in the app and asked a number of questions to ensure he would have the best time. When we came to pick him up, he didn't want to leave! I highly recommend Lauren and only wish we had found her sooner.”

While I do not have a fenced yard, I am located less than 10 minutes from Kiva Beach and am happy to take dogs there for additional outdoor time and enrichment
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, which means caring for four-legged family members is second nature to me. As my family and friend’s resident dog sitter, I have hands on experience with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from high energy giants to tiny couch potatoes. I am passionate about keeping dogs active and healthy, so you can count on me to provide plenty of outdoor time and engaging walks. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing them with a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is highly flexible! Pet care fits seamlessly into my day, allowing me to offer reliable windows for walks and drop-ins. My 'portable' office also makes me a great fit for house sitting, as I can work right from your home and keep your pet company. Weekends are equally open and flexible for whatever your pet needs! I believe the best environment for a pet is one that closely mirrors their usual routine. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in, I strictly follow your specific guidelines for feeding and house rules. During house sittings and drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and locked up. When we are out on walks, your dog will always be kept on a secure, standard leash, and I maintain a strict 'no greeting' policy with unfamiliar dogs to prevent any unpredictable interactions. I am deeply observant of body language to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and never stressed. I also believe that communication builds trust, so you can always expect timely photo updates and detailed Rover cards after every visit!
About: I have experience with a broad range of dogs from miniature aussies to pit bulls and Great Danes. I’m happy to take your dogs on longer hikes and adjust care to their energy levels and needs.

I’m currently working part time locally in South Lake Tahoe while attending school online, and I have a flexible schedule for dog walking and pet care! I will discuss care expectations prior to pet sitting / dog walking to make sure I understand the animal’s behavior on leash or with other dogs. Typically in home care involves feeding, light cleaning, spending time with animal in the yard (if available) and dog walking.
About: Hello! My name is Alora, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve spent the past year working as a vet tech at a local veterinary hospital, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. If your animal is every hurt or sick, I am qualified to take care, and watch over them. I’m used exercising, cleaning up after, and giving medications to animals. I’m also a dog mom to a black and white Mutt named Ray. As far as exercising your pet, it can range from short or long walks, trail walks, runs, or playing with toys, depending on what they need/like. House sitting will consist of me keeping your pet company, feeding, and all the exercise they need. If needed I can spend the night, or if you prefer I can come back in the morning.

About: Hello! My name is Jaclyn. I’m a local animal lover with a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it's going on long walks with dogs, cuddling up with cats, or making sure smaller animals get the attention they need, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and helping them feel safe and loved. I currently work from home, so your pet will never be left unsupervised. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at a local clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I’m trained in safe handling techniques and experienced in administering medication to animals with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I was also known as the cat whisperer and understand how to respect their space while building trust and comfort.

I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to roam. My dogs are very active and will provide a full day of play.

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by my Rover profile. I’ve spent the past few years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and needs. I’m based in South Lake Tahoe and currently offer services that come to you, as I’m not able to host dogs in my home at the moment. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out—happy to chat! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm currently self employed and work my own hours so I'm typically available if your dog needs a walking or watching.

I have a large fenced backyard centrally located in South Lake Tahoe. I have a small 8 year old Aussie Sheppard who gets along very well with others, especially small dogs.

I will provide a safe and clean environment for your dog. When we hike, swim, play in the snow, they will be on a leash. I will always be very careful with your dog.
About: I've been a dog mom for over 15 years. I most recently lost my best friend Izzy, a big Loverador, after 12 years in 2020, and have since missed the joy a dog brings into the home. While I am not quite ready to adopt again, I am excited to take this time to help you in caring for your best friend the same way I would expect for anyone watching my own. I work full time from home and am pretty flexible in my daily routine. Breaks often include walks to either one of the nearby parks or open space USFS land; all within less than a mile of the property. I have a large unfenced yard with a comfortable lead for a bit of off-leash fun. I do have an older cat (15) who was raised by labs and is very comfortable around other dogs - not cats. Please no known aggresive dogs to cats.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for pets — I’ve had animals since I was a kid, and my own elderly chihuahua keeps me tuned in to the love and patience pets need at every stage of life. I’m gentle with seniors, patient with puppies, and treat every animal like family. With my background as a personal assistant, I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to all the little details that keep pets happy and safe. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I care for my own elderly chihuahua every day, so things like walks, feeding, snuggles, and keeping routines are already built into my schedule. I also work as a personal assistant, which means I’m organized, flexible, and used to balancing responsibilities with care and attention. Making time for animals is easy for me because it’s something I truly enjoy and value. I have a flexible schedule and for the most part I can fit into your routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and double-check that doors, gates, and food/medications are handled with care. I take time to create a calm, loving environment so your pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. At my own home, my elderly gal gets free run of the space. She sleeps on the bed, we do walks, treats, and play with her favorite toys (her llama with a unicorn horn), you dog would receive the same treatment. :)
About: Hello! I grew up with dogs and cats, I love them all. Big and small. I have experience with all ages and most breeds. I’ve fostered kittens/cats in the past. Animals are the only things that know true unconditional love. I have fur babies of my own and they are everything to me. When taking care of your fur babies I will be bringing my daughter. She is 4 and has been around many dogs. I will decide at our meet and greet if this would be a good fit for us. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you! I am an active person and would love to walk your dogs and provide a loving and safe environment for your fur babies. I am a stay at home Mom with plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and two friendly French bulldogs that will gladly keep your pump company. I have crate trained before and can crate your pup if that’s what you prefer.
About: Dogs, cats, miniature donkeys, turtles, turkeys and chickens — I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid! I am the friend that wins over pets that play hard to get. I’m friendly, personable and love spending time playing with animals outside. I am looking to incorporate pets into my daily activities. I’m a very active person and go out to trail run, bike, swim, surf, etc everyday. I also work all over the city and am often in different necks of the wood. My afternoons are free to walk doggies and give them love. When going outside, I keep my eyes on pets or put a leash on them (depending on your preference). We are always prepared with water, snacks, toys and love.

“Stephanie took amazing care of my pup. I got photo and message updates everyday. It really felt like he became a part of her family for the week. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“It was very easy to book with Gabriel the day prior to my short trip to Tahoe. He was very responsive and flexible with both pick up and drop off. My 7 mo old puppy stayed for one night. I would book again if I do another quick trip to Tahoe.”
“Lyndsey was amazing with dog Tulee! She was so kind, took her on multiple walks, sent me many pictures & videos throughout the day and had great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!”
“Pepe stayed with Adam for a few days when I went on a work trip. Super easy communication during the entire process leading up to dropping Pepe off. Once I did, Adam did a great job, taking Pepe out for runs on his one-wheel and hiking around the area. Would definitely recommend!”
“Teresa was great with my dog Pappy- she listened to what he liked and was able to take him trail hiking to play in the creek away from other dogs. She sent me photos and videos each day and made me feel at ease that he was well taken care of. Will definitely call her again should the need arise!”
“My family was on a short vacation and didn't realize dogs were not allowed where we stayed. I contacted Laura and she accepted my boarding request quickly and even came to picked up our pup. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day and I must say our doggy had a vacation herself! Laura took her on a beautiful walk through the snow and then another to the beach. Our pup then got to play with Laura's two dogs. I cannot recommend Laura enough and I will certainly be contacting her to watch our girl next time we vist!”
“Teeda was wonderful! Very responsive, sent photos and updates, making us feel secure knowing our Pup was safe and enjoying his stay! Thank you so much, will definitely contact you in the future ❤️”
“Melissa watched my dog Alia for a few days while I was out of town. She was great! I would leave Alia with Melissa anytime. Melissa was friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept Alia happy and healthy with lots of walks and love. I also received a bunch of super cute photos of Alia every day. It was perfect. Thanks Melissa!”
“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”
“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!”
About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
About: I have worked with dogs and cats going back to my childhood. I walked dogs with a dog walking service and for family and friends as well I work part time so I have a flexible schedule and can work your needs in as needed. I have days and nights available. Please contact me for more information. I follow the owners instructions exactly, send daily updates, monitor health and well being, provide exercise/walks, and I provide cleaning services as needed for the owner.
“Highly recommended!! 🌟 Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of Henry, I wasn't sure if he'd want to come home! 🤣 We loved the daily photo updates of their out & about adventures or their indoor cozy seshs. Henry looked so happy & relaxed. Shout out to Lauren's good friend Charmaine who Henry also had the pleasure of hanging out with! Lauren, you are now on speed dial for pet sitting! 😉 Thank you so much for everything! Happy Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎄🎆 pS... Henry says he misses you both! 🐕”
About: Hello, I am a local who lives full time in Tahoe City. I've been a pet owner with both dogs and cats for the last 30+years. I am a mother of two grown children that are now off away at school. I work at the local elementary school with young children of special needs. I am a fun, caring and loving person who loves both animals and humans. I don't have any pets living with me so your pet would be the only one I would be caring for. I am free to take care of your pet most days, nights and some weekends. I work from home during the summer months so my schedule is always flexible. I currently live in a condo down the street from Lake Tahoe. There are numerous parks at the lake as well as many hiking trails to walk your dog at that are close by my place. I will always walk your dogs on a leash unless otherwise informed by owner to let run free in the woods and trails. I am very safe and responsible.
“Angelique was awesome. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times. When we picked our dogs up from her house, they were wore out from a hike and happy to see us!”
“Shane is incredible! This was my first time leaving my new rescue pup who is very shy, he won’t let many people even get close to him and Shane sent me a video of them cuddling on the couch. ❤️ Shane was so kind and gentle with my pup. I’m so grateful how awesome it worked out. Plus, his two dogs are very chill and well behaved which was also great for my pup to play with them. Can't recommend Shane enough! There's more, his location is also amazing for the dogs because it’s far from any busy streets and right by a trailhead. 🙌”
