“Gabriel is a great host for our dog George. He makes sure he is comfortable and gets some exercise also. I also appreciate Gabriel providing an update on how George is doing during his stay. Overall, I definitely recommend Gabriel to sit your pet.”
“Stephanie was wonderful!! We thought our pup would never want to come home after spending 10 days with her. We got so many pictures, gave us a lot of updates and took such great care of our new puppy. It’s a lot to take on a new puppy, and she was so kind, positive and loving the entire time. Our pup had a great time! And we enjoyed our vacation, knowing she was in good hands!”
“Lyndsey met Sweetie Petey, our high-energy miniature golden doodle and watched him for a day and a night while we went to Disneyland, closed the park, and picked him up the next morning. Petey stayed in her condo as the only pet there. She was so kind and caring for him. She gave him long walks, took him to a dog park/run, and gave him lots of affection. Petey had a great time. I can’t recommend Lyndsey enough for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Great experience with Adam, Lauren & their sweet dog, Stevie! They have a lovely home with plenty of room for pups! They were able to accommodate a last minute booking and I was so grateful to leave my two black labs in such good hands. Got awesome updates throughout the weekend and easy coordination for drop off and pickup. Definitely recommend!”
“Laura was great with my Labrador Charlie! He settled right in with her 2 small dogs, like he was just one of the pack. I loved that she sent photos of Charlie's adventures of the day, it made me feel good knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely be happy knowing Charlie's in Laura's care on my future busy days in Tahoe!”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“First time we boarded our girls locally for a quick 2 night ski getaway. Teeda is very flexible, accommodating and easy to communicate with. After a quick meet and greet at the dogpark , she seemed very confident in being able to handle our two 65lbs+ dogs in her home. Richard was very welcoming when we dropped the girls off the next day and assured us that they would be safe. They ran right into and through the house to the fully fenced backyard with wagging tails. The dogs seemed very happy - I was relieved. Teeda sent us photos every day and answered messages every time. Thank you Teeda and Richard for welcoming our girls into your home and taking care of them! We'll be back!”
“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.”
“Nicole was amazing! She was able to take my puppy in last minute and I was very grateful for that. She made my puppy feel so loved! She was taking such good care of him and sent me pictures and updates about how their day was going. I definitely felt a sigh of relief knowing my puppy was happy and safe with her!”
“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! 🐕”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I currently have dogs and cats. Responsible for caring for multiple neighbors' pets. I walk the dogs daily. References available upon request. I am a dog person through and through. I love to take the dogs for walks. My life already fits around dogs very well. I take 2 walks per day. I have a large fenced back yard. I have beds around the house for the dogs. I have a crate available. I feed at 7am and 5pm.
About: As lifelong dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. We have experience volunteering at the humane society, and have spent the last few years pet sitting dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, our goal is to stick to your dog's normal routine and treat them like one of our own. Dan and I both work in the restaurant industry, which gives us a flexible schedule. We work 3–4 days a week and often work opposite shifts, so one of us is usually home or available throughout the day. If we do work the same day, our shifts are in the evening, so we still have the entire morning and afternoon to spend with your pet. We make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love so your pet feels comfortable with us. We want every pet to feel at home while in our care. We have a fenced-in backyard and live just minutes from the marsh and beach, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or does not do well with other dogs, we are happy to provide care in your home instead. We understand that every owner has their own routines and expectations, and we will always respect your instructions and your pet’s needs. At our home, dogs are welcome on the couch, are surrounded by toys, and can hang out in backyard to sunbathe and roam free. Whether your pet is staying with us or we are caring for them in their own home, our goal is to create a safe, trusting, and stress-free environment for both owner and doggo.

“I feel lucky that I found Melissa to care for our miniature poodle Cooper. Cooper was never happy in a commercial daycare situation but felt at home at Melissa's house. Melissa truly loves every pup in her care and regularly communicates updates on your dog's behavior. 🐶 Right away we felt at ease after leaving our dog for a few days with Melissa and highly recommend her services!”

“Brenna went above and beyond with a medical scare with my cat. She spent extra time with him, kept me consistently updated, and stayed with him until we could get home. She’s a lifesaver 💜”
About: I have over a year of consistent dog and house sitting experience with the same family, where I’ve cared for their sweet fur baby and home with reliability and attention to detail. I’m trusted to maintain routines, keep pets comfortable, and ensure everything runs smoothly while owners are away. I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been comfortable around animals of all ages and personalities. I currently walk a dog weekly, which has helped me stay experienced with different energy levels, leash manners, and behavior styles. I also have experience supporting basic puppy training, including reinforcing commands and good walking habits, and I’m equally comfortable giving extra patience and care to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, gentle handling, or a bit more attention. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part time, which allows me a flexible and consistent schedule for pet care during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to plan my availability in advance and ensure I have dedicated time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because I already have ongoing experience with weekly dog walking as well as long-term dog and house sitting, I’m comfortable balancing responsibilities while maintaining reliable routines for each pet I care for. I care for pets in my client’s home by keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific habits or preferences each pet is used to. I prioritize making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also treat the home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and organized while the owner is away. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. Because I already have experience with ongoing dog walking and long-term dog/house sitting, I’m comfortable adapting to different routines, personalities, and energy levels—including puppies who need structure and senior dogs who may need a slower, gentler pace. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care so pets feel relaxed and owners feel completely at ease while they’re away.
“Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book 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.
“Angelique did a great job looking after our kitties during inclement conditions. Dealing with tons of snow to look after them, she made sure they were well cared for. We highly recommend her, she’s reliable and great with pets!”
About: I’ve had many cats as pets throughout my life and have always had a cat in my household. My own cat is my favorite companion and I am very well versed in the varying needs of different cats! I have cat sit for friend’s pets for many years.
“John, who goes by Jack, came over early to learn the cat procedures, stepped up at a last minute booking and did a great job, including the extra tasks. He communicated well and we were very happy with his service.”
“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: I have grown up with pets all my life and constantly took care of, walked, fed, bathed my dogs & cats. My dog had puppies a few times growing up and I was responsible for caring for the mom and all the babies until they were old enough to leave. I absolutely love dogs & cats and have so much fun walking or sitting them! I always house sit & watch my friends dogs and cats when they are away. I am their go to person to ask. I work part time for accommodation so I am free most of the time to dog walk or sit! I only work part time hours. If you have a fenced in yard I would take them out to play or use the restroom! I also would take them on walks or if you want I can take them to the dog park or dog beach! Happy to do whatever makes you feel comfortable! If you need the dog crated I can do this as well. I will make sure they are fed at the correct times and follow any specific dietary instructions! I love being around all pets so I would be very attentive and always there to give them some love!
“Melissa watched our two kitties for just a day while we had some work done at our house. She was a life saver. The kitties were a little nervous at first, but she helped them come out of their shell by providing a quiet and peaceful space. She took great care of them. Highly recommend Melissa :)”

“I cannot recommend Melissa more highly! As a first time puppy owner and Rover user we were very nervous to leave our girl! Upon meeting her and seeing her home, I knew Izzy was in good hands. She kept us updated through out the day and even sent pics. She made our last day in Tahoe a great one! I only wish we had found her sooner. We will ? be using Melissa next summer when we come back to Tahoe.”
“My dogs first sitter & I had a great experience, awesome communication and i got updates throughout which I really appreciated. I felt super safe leaving him with leilah! Will definitely be coming back to her next time around :)”
“Oatie had a great day with Stephanie and her dogs while we skied!! She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the day. We’ll be using her all the time while were in Tahoe! Thanks!”
“Laura was great with Gizmo. She is very responsive and sends photos. We felt at ease leaving our pup for a few hours while we hiked when visiting Tahoe. Thank you Laura!”
“Lindsey was very attentive to our senior dog. She showed a lot of love and took very good care of him. He didn't want to leave! Thanks for showing him a wonderful time Lindsey!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter and have cared for both dogs and cats in my home in Poland. I’m now living in South Lake Tahoe and would be happy to spend time with your dog. The photo shows some of the wonderful animals I’ve had the pleasure of looking after. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule time before and after work, as well as on weekends, to give pets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Caring for animals is not just a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my week I care for pets with the same attention and love I would give my own. I maintain their routines, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, secure environment. My background in behavioral psychology helps me understand their needs and build trust quickly, ensuring they feel safe and cared for while you’re away
“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!”
“Wow! What a great experience we had with Adam and Lauren. It was way above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t say enough about their generosity and service. When we told Adam that we are having our anniversary, he made himself more available and making our trip more memorable. We highly recommend their service. We really like the way how Adam meets up first with our dog, and his knowledge about dog behavior and needs. The walks he takes our dog on were breathtaking views. You can see that they really love animals. So now, we have found our dog sitter for our dog, Rocky. So if you’re heading to South Lake Tahoe, and you need a dog sitter, we highly recommend Adam and Lauren.”

About: I've owned Australian Cattle Dogs (red/blue heelers) my entire life. My beloved most recent 12 year old Red Heeler named Austin passed away last summer. I now travel too much for work to consider getting another pet myself, but would love to borrow some to get my four legged furry fix. I am self employed professional photographer with a flexible weekly schedule and I work from home, except when I am out photographing clients. I would love to be a trusted fill-in for your standards of interaction with your pal if our schedules align. Please note that I am NOT a good fit for pandemic animals that cannot be left unattended or have separation anxiety. If your dog cannot be left alone for a few hours at a time you'll need to look elsewhere. I have a fenced yard and a dog door for access. I would prefer to care for dogs in my home but open to house sitting also.
“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.”
About: I have been caring for others pets for over 10 years! Ranging from fish, cats, dogs, horses, etc. Spending time with animals is a passion for me and I look forward to meeting your pet! I am a yoga teacher which makes my schedule extremely flexible to care for your pet and all their needs! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a dog of my own who is extremely friendly and loves having new friends to adventure with! I strive to give your pet the best care while you are away!
“Teeda was amazing! Made time for a meet n greet. This was our first time using Rover and Teeda made us feel immediately comfortable. She was very sweet and loving to our puppy. Our pup spent the day playing in her backyard with other dogs! Came home happy and exhausted! Highly recommend Teeda to anyone looking to leave their best friend in good hands!!”
“Friendly, timely in communication. And even took my dog out for a walk and played fetch with her. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for my for a place to drop off your dog if skiing Heavenly.”
“Tim was amazing! I could tell my big boy was happy and confident around him! Tim took him on a hike and kept him busy and send me a lot of beautiful pictures! I loved his service! Thank you Tim!”

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and this is my partner Alex. We both work fully remote! We spent the last few years traveling abroad. We’ve landed in Lake Tahoe for the foreseeable future! We provide a safe, active, and loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Since we are both fully remote, your fur baby gets consistent attention, not just quick check-ins. Our days naturally include multiple walks (morning, mid-day, and evening), outdoor time, and plenty of downtime for cuddles and relaxation. We live an active lifestyle and love having a furry friends alongside us for walks, fresh air, and exploring, but we’re just as intentional about creating a calm, secure space at home so your pet feels comfortable and settled. We’ve cared for pets for over 10 years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms, in both our home and theirs. We’re very attentive and always know where your pet is, so you never have to worry about safety or supervision. Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re having their own little vacation. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative sitters who will treat your pet like their own, we’d love to help. Our daily step goal is 8-10k steps so walks are a breeze starting first thing in the morning and after every meal. Nicole loves to create a calm environment in the home and cozy up on the couch. Alex is very active and will go for hikes, longer walks, and loves play. We have stairs in our home that lead down to our bedroom as well as to get down to the front door. If your pup has mobility issues, they’ll need to be okay with being carried up and down
“Lyndsey is such a lovely dog walker and care taker for dogs ! She treated my dog Beau as her own, and I always feel good leaving Beau when I go on vacation as I know he will get hair as much love fork Lyndsey !”
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 a reliable track record of watching pets for family and friends, including watching dogs who require daily exercise and attention. I love cats and know how important it is that owners have peace of mind when leaving their animals for a vacation! I am currently working part time and hoping to find some local pet-sitting gigs! I am available for daily and drop in visits and find most people in South Lake Tahoe have at least one pet, including myself, and I am available to help give care as needed. I am currently available for visits to your home for pet watching duties as needed while you are away. I am detail-oriented, very reliable, and care that your animals are given thorough attention :)
“Sandra was wonderful with my two girls! She was easygoing during our meet-and-greet and incredibly flexible when a last-minute time change came up. I felt completely at ease, and I’ll definitely be hiring Sandra again in the future.”
“John is the best! We were in sudden need of a dog walker and he responded right away. Our dog, Blue, had the best time with him. John was very communicative and gave a detailed report of his time with Blue. We will definitely have John help us in the future. Thank you so much!!!”
“Really appreciate her accepting our last minute request and taking our fur baby for a much needed walk! Stephanie took lots of pictures and kept us updated. Really appreciated it!”
About: Lifelong animal lover! Rescue cat mom to two lovely kitties(11 year old & 1 year old kitten). Long-time rover user excited to help take care of your loved ones🐾 Work from home in South Lake! I would love to take care of your fur babies with feedings, long walks, checkin visits, cat sitting, etc. :) I’ve been a long time rover user for my two cats and would love to pay it back and help take care of the local South Lake animals!
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. I am currently a bartender so I can be available to take your animals out during the day while you work! I love to get outside and hike, bike, and go to the beach, so if you have an adventurous dog I can cater to its needs. I have a fenced in back yard that your dog can run and play in, as well as a few Roomate’s who love dogs as well.
“Angelique was awesome. She took very good care of our senior dogs and checked in whenever there was a question. We would definitely recommend her to any pet owners out there.”
“Melissa was exceptional! She helped me while I was injured and couldn’t walk my pup for a weekend. She was so timely, communicative and professional! Jojo loved every time her car pulled up and greeting her and it’s clear it was mutual from Melissa. She listened to all of my crazy dog mom requests and worries as I never have someone else walk him and was a breeze to work with. She brought her sweet golden Obi along for one of the walks and Jojo was thrilled! So thankful to be able to trust someone else with my pup.”
About: I live in a private home with a large, fully fenced-in yard off of Ski Run Blvd with 4 female rescues. I have had and cared for dogs (large and small) as well as cats for 13 years and am loving, patient, and responsible. I love to get outside for runs down to the beach or to go hiking in the area, and try to bring at least one dog with me on every adventure. I have raised both puppies and cared for elderly dogs, including my own Golden Retriever Stewie who sadly passed away two years ago at the age of 12. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members as well as I do my own! My schedule varies, but I keep it up to date in the app and can be flexible if anything comes up or if needs change. I have a fully fenced in, private backyard off of a quiet street that is perfect for lots of running around with my 3 dogs, who are incredibly friendly and get along with dogs of all ages and sizes (and are great at tiring out puppies!). My dogs are crate trained and usually are in their crates at night and when I am away for more than a couple hours, and I would be happy to do the same or whatever is preferred for yours.
About: I’ve been around animals since a little girl. They’ve always caught my eye, i’ve dealt with little to huge doggies and they all been great! Taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I’m currently working part time at a dog day care which i love and lets me have plenty of free time to watch your babies whenever needed. I’m very aware of how to take care of pets. Their safety in these circumstances mean a lot to me and if needed reassurance that your dog is okay always give a call or text!
About: I grew up on a farm locally outside the treasure valley taking care of an assortment of animals, learning to nurture and provide a loving hand. I love working with dogs seeing each of their personalities come to light. I want people to feel comfortable knowing their dog is in good care and with someone that you can trust. In addition, my dad was a vet so I have my fair share of experiences first hand of vet practice from administering oral medication to emergency c sections. This allows me to be more vigilant and aware to your pets to keep them healthy happy and safe. I graduated from Boise State University with a degree in kinesiology and minor in business and marketing. I have flexible schedule and would love to help you out in your next pet sitting needs. I’m currently working part time and focus in on my wealth with daily exercise and walks allowing for flexibility to tend to your pet’s needs. Staying at a clients home, I ensure respecting the place keeping it clean and tidy. I confirm with the owner any additional needs to be taken care ensuring the best experience.
“Kim is incredible! She was a fantastic pet sitter/dog walker/and adventurer with my two dogs while my family was vacationing in the area. She was kind, flexible and really helped ensure that the dogs were well taken care of, fed, swam, hiked and they absolutely loved her. I'd recommend Kim to anyone looking for pet care!”

“Gabriel is a great host for our dog George. He makes sure he is comfortable and gets some exercise also. I also appreciate Gabriel providing an update on how George is doing during his stay. Overall, I definitely recommend Gabriel to sit your pet.”
“Stephanie was wonderful!! We thought our pup would never want to come home after spending 10 days with her. We got so many pictures, gave us a lot of updates and took such great care of our new puppy. It’s a lot to take on a new puppy, and she was so kind, positive and loving the entire time. Our pup had a great time! And we enjoyed our vacation, knowing she was in good hands!”
“Lyndsey met Sweetie Petey, our high-energy miniature golden doodle and watched him for a day and a night while we went to Disneyland, closed the park, and picked him up the next morning. Petey stayed in her condo as the only pet there. She was so kind and caring for him. She gave him long walks, took him to a dog park/run, and gave him lots of affection. Petey had a great time. I can’t recommend Lyndsey enough for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Great experience with Adam, Lauren & their sweet dog, Stevie! They have a lovely home with plenty of room for pups! They were able to accommodate a last minute booking and I was so grateful to leave my two black labs in such good hands. Got awesome updates throughout the weekend and easy coordination for drop off and pickup. Definitely recommend!”
“Laura was great with my Labrador Charlie! He settled right in with her 2 small dogs, like he was just one of the pack. I loved that she sent photos of Charlie's adventures of the day, it made me feel good knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely be happy knowing Charlie's in Laura's care on my future busy days in Tahoe!”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“First time we boarded our girls locally for a quick 2 night ski getaway. Teeda is very flexible, accommodating and easy to communicate with. After a quick meet and greet at the dogpark , she seemed very confident in being able to handle our two 65lbs+ dogs in her home. Richard was very welcoming when we dropped the girls off the next day and assured us that they would be safe. They ran right into and through the house to the fully fenced backyard with wagging tails. The dogs seemed very happy - I was relieved. Teeda sent us photos every day and answered messages every time. Thank you Teeda and Richard for welcoming our girls into your home and taking care of them! We'll be back!”
“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.”
“Nicole was amazing! She was able to take my puppy in last minute and I was very grateful for that. She made my puppy feel so loved! She was taking such good care of him and sent me pictures and updates about how their day was going. I definitely felt a sigh of relief knowing my puppy was happy and safe with her!”
“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! 🐕”
“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!”
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.

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.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I currently have dogs and cats. Responsible for caring for multiple neighbors' pets. I walk the dogs daily. References available upon request. I am a dog person through and through. I love to take the dogs for walks. My life already fits around dogs very well. I take 2 walks per day. I have a large fenced back yard.

About: As lifelong dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. We have experience volunteering at the humane society, and have spent the last few years pet sitting dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, our goal is to stick to your dog's normal routine and treat them like one of our own. Dan and I both work in the restaurant industry, which gives us a flexible schedule. We work 3–4 days a week and often work opposite shifts, so one of us is usually home or available throughout the day. If we do work the same day, our shifts are in the evening, so we still have the entire morning and afternoon to spend with your pet. We make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love so your pet feels comfortable with us. We want every pet to feel at home while in our care. We have a fenced-in backyard and live just minutes from the marsh and beach, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or does not do well with other dogs, we are happy to provide care in your home instead. We understand that every owner has their own routines and expectations, and we will always respect your instructions and your pet’s needs. At our home, dogs are welcome on the couch, are surrounded by toys, and can hang out in backyard to sunbathe and roam free. Whether your pet is staying with us or we are caring for them in their own home, our goal is to create a safe, trusting, and stress-free environment for both owner and doggo.
“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!”
“Tim did a great job with my dog Bazel! Looks like he had a great time! Tim sent me many pictures! Baz had diabetes, and that seemed to be a non issue for Tim (having to give him a couple shots and pills). Very grateful and would recommend!”
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”
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.
