“My dog loved hanging out with Aaron and family for the week! Pictures and updates were sent everyday, and my buddy came back home happy with no problems. Very grateful to Aaron and Nicole for looking after him so well!!”
“Ron was great understanding our dogs personalities from the start and made us feel comfortable leaving them with him for our trip. His daily updates were great and kept us connected while we were traveling. His place is very dog proof and the dogs loved his fenced in backyard. We are planning to use him on our next trip as well!”

“Cody & Emily are great! They went above and beyond with caring for my pup. Easy communication. Great updates throughout the stay. And their home is clean, spacious and beautiful. All together, the experience was comfortable and easy. I felt very secure my pup was in good hands 💗.”
“Bean had another great stay with Addie last week - she sent plenty of pics as usual, and Bean seemed happy when I picked him up. She says they get lots of cuddles together when he visits, which I know makes Bean extra happy :)”
“This was our first time using Rover and Chewy 's first time on an extended stay. Laura was exceptional with communicating with us and Chewy loved her! She is a true dog person and Chewy picked up on that instantly,he was very comfortable with her and her dog. I will most certainly call on Laura again and will recommend her to my friends. Thank you Laura for a worry free trip! You are amazing!”
About: My dog recently passed away at the age of 16, so I am just trying to get my doggy fixes in. I would love if they could join me for a run or hike. I currently work full time at an office M-F but come home for lunch for an hour. But I can guarantee a morning, lunch and evening walk (or activity) I live in an adu apartment but have a big open backyard and don’t mind pets on furniture if you don’t mind them on furniture.
“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel 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.

“Kayla was amazing with my dog, Macy. She kept me updated with pictures, gave her plenty of love and snuggles, and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling when unexpected personal matters arose. I highly recommend her!”

She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“Shannon was amazing! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, and I truly can’t thank her enough. Bella was so well cared for, and I really appreciated all the updates she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”

“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.”
About: I have been working with animals in veterinary and home-care settings for 5 years. I am experienced in handling nervous kitties and creating trust, as well as giving medication and cleaning up after sick and elderly kitties.

I currently work full time, but have weekends off, and can sometimes do evenings, and love to spend my free time with pets. I fit pet care into my weekly routine by caring for a german shepherd weekly.

She is always on time and very great at communicating how the dogs are doing during her visits! Plus she somehow always gets the best pictures of them! I definitely recommend her!”

I would recommend Locke to people who are facing a similar challenge of working in-person and having to take care of their fur babies.”
About: I've had animals my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I've worked in a vet and I've taken care of many of my friends and family's pets as well.

About: Hi, my name is Natalie! I'm a senior at the University of Nevada-Reno studying computer science and engineering, planning to begin my Masters in electrical engineering next fall. I'm on the track & field and cross country team here, and I do rigorous training for it! Hoping to take a dog or two on my runs! While I didn’t have the oppotunity to grow up with pets in the house, I did have a lot of beloved animals that I looked after while their owners were away. I was a routine dog-walker for a few family friends until they recently moved away. My dad adopted three adorable cats a few years ago, and I’ve gained lots of valuable experience learning about animal behaviors and cat care from them! I live a very active lifestyle, I run about 7 miles per day, and I love hiking in the Sierras. While my dad's cats can’t come with me, I’d love to take a dog (or leash-trained cat) along with me on a run! Hoping to meet your pets soon! Currently, my schedule consists of classes and cross country training in the early morning through early afternoon on weekdays. I have breaks in my schedule, so I’m free for pet loving almost all of the time! When pet-sitting, I’m always attentive of pets and their behaviors. I understand this is not my home, so I make sure to be respectful of house rules and stay clean.
About: We have taken care of animals all our lives and have a genuine love for each of them. We have experience with it all; new puppies and kittens, as well as older furry friends who may need special treatment and/or administering medication. Between the both of us, we always make it a priority to work with our pups with lots of playtime, exercise, training and socialization daily. We both are self employed and create our own schedules so we are flexible and work together to ensure our pets have an enjoyable & active day. We have a large dog-friendly fenced-in yard as well as amazing trails just outside our backdoor. Our Aussie-Border Collie mix, Penny is super friendly and submissive and gets along with everyone. She is super gentle when needed and can hold her own with larger dogs also. We have a very well socialized cat, Eleanor, who LOVES dogs and visitors.
“We hired Alice to pet sit our kittens when we were out for a a week and a half, including overnights. We returned to happy, healthy kittens. I was a little worried because one of the cats needs medication, but she handled that nicely. She was also communicative and responsive, and left the house in great condition.”

About: Dogs have been in my life since as long as I can remember. Taking care of animals is something I enjoy and therefore, do diligently. I understand the relationship between pets and their owners and I take care of anything you are worried about during your absence. I currently live on a completely fenced .5 acre lot with a mix of grass, dirt and matured trees. If your dog spends time here they will spend it playing with my two dogs, swimming in the river down the street or sleeping in the shade. I currently work from home, so I am available whenever is needed. Your pets are my priority, so I am sure to make my schedule around their comfort. I have a fenced in yard and an endless amount of healthily, safe dogs treat and activities for them. Pets will be constantly in view to prevent any “one off” situations.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personality for years and I continue to care for them now.

“Danielle was amazing! She was very well prepared, with a water bowl, a great yard, and lots of dog toys. Great communication. Seemed like my pup had an excellent experience. I will definitely rebook with Danielle!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Melissa made it such a positive experience! She sent texts with pictures throughout the time day reassuring us that Boo was having a great time! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for anywhere from 2-5 dogs and 2 cats at a time my entire life, most of which have been rescues of all ages, sizes, and behaviors. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at the local Humane Society with dogs and cats for around 8 years and have dog and cat watched for family and friends countless times. I’m comfortable with administering oral medication, using feline inhalers, and caring for animals from puppies and kittens to senior dogs. I am generally available every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but can start earlier or end later as needed. On Mondays I am only available until 3:00 PM. Animals love me and I love them- be it hiking and exploring a lake, throwing sticks in the yard, frolicking in the snow, taking a short stroll, chasing a feather on a stick, or just kicking our feet up for a chill day. I have 3 friendly dogs and 2 cats at my home (one laid back, one spunky 1.5 year old) and a large, unfenced area in the woods where dogs can be leash walked or free roam. There are 4 litter boxes and 2 cat trees throughout the spacious multi-floor house. My own dogs are outside playing the majority of the day with water bowls and a bowl puppy pool outside or cooling down inside.
“Madelyn took great care of Sophie! She took her on a fun hike with the other pups and sent nice photos. We're looking forward to future stays with Madelyn!”
“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for my pup, Wilson! She was so kind and easygoing and Wilson had so much fun going on a hike and playing with her new puppy all afternoon:) It was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that he was safe and getting some good exercise while I was away! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a daytime dog sitter.”
“We couldn't have chosen a better Rover sitter for our pup! Shawna sent pictures of our little girl throughout the day and Lexi came home happy and calm from her stay. Looking forward to booking another Rover visit soon! Thank you, Shawna and Steve, for providing a warm and happy place for our little girl Lexi.”
“We needed a quick dog sitter and Nikki replied right away. I am satisfied and happy with her service and I highly recommend her when you will be in Reno. She went above and beyond. Thanks Nikki!”

About: I have been a lifelong dog owner and have extensive experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve provided reliable pet sitting and dog walking services, ensuring that dogs are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From small, energetic breeds to larger, more laid-back dogs, I have experience managing a variety of personalities and needs. Whether it’s an active pup that requires extra playtime or a more reserved dog that needs patience and calm, I know how to adapt to ensure they feel safe and happy. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, playtime, and care as needed. My flexible schedule also means I can easily accommodate walks, feeding times, and any special needs the pets may have, ensuring they receive the best care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize respecting their space and routines. I ensure the home is left just as I found it, following any specific instructions regarding pet care, feeding, and house rules. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment for the pets, treating both the animals and the home with care and professionalism.
About: I’ve been caring for animals from house sitting to dog walking since my teenage years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Neighbors, family friends, and family have trusted me to provide exceptional care for their furry companions. My deep love for animals led me to volunteer at the UCD Vet Center during high school, where I assisted veterinarians in hands on care. Later, I dedicated time to shelters like the Davis SPCA and the Pacific Palisades SPCA in Los Angeles, working with rescue animals and learning how to nurture even the most vulnerable pets. Over the years, I’ve rescued and rehabilitated numerous animals, many of whom became cherished members of my family. It’s been an incredible journey watching them thrive, whether it’s a senior dog finding comfort or a shy kitten finally coming out of their shell. My approach is rooted in holistic care, recognizing that diet, environment, and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health. I’ve seen firsthand how natural remedies, proper nutrition, and mindful interaction can transform an animal’s quality of life. Whether your pet needs a lively walk, a playful home visit, or overnight care while you’re traveling, I’d love to be their trusted companion. I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s unique personality, whether that means helping calm anxious pups or adjusting activities for a senior dog with mobility challenges. Feel free to ask me anything—I’m happy to share references or discuss how I can best support your pet’s needs. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged family member and giving them the same love and attention I’ve given animals my whole life! I am currently really flexible with days and hours available. I am working from home right now which allows me this flexibility. Open m- f as well as weekends I have a fenced yard and one dog at home that loves and gets along with all animals and is super friendly. I have plenty of space and separate rooms in the house along with a gate I can put up if your fury love wants a little space of their own for play time!
“Elaine was very sweet and understanding with my pup. I highly recommend her. My pup is going through separation anxiety and she was great with her. I will be contacting her again!☺️”

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

“Carrie is awesome. When I sent her a message, she responded back super fast and is great about communicating when she can or cannot walk my dog. She is always punctual and has a wonderful personality. 😊”
“Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful dog walker! She is incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she genuinely loves what she does. She has always been flexible and accommodating with scheduling, which makes such a difference for a busy pet owner. I always feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”

About: I have been working with animals my entire adult life, for the last 5 years. I have experience working in veterinary offices, as well as caring for senior and disabled pets in a home setting. I am available any day of the week at most hours. I am happy to go for a long walk or throw the ball for a high energy pet, or do a midday check-in for an elderly or disabled pet who just needs some extra attention. I find working with animals very fulfilling, and I would love to care for your pet! I am an online college student, so my schedule is very open for daytime dog walking and other drop in visits. I am available weekdays on short notice, and weekends with a few days notice. I am confident in reading animal body language and taking cues from pets so that they feel safe. I am happy to do repeated visits as long as I have met the owner once and have been able to communicate about your expectations and needs.

“I was very sick and unable to walk my very energetic boxer one day during the week. Given that I needed someone, essentially, right away, I figured I'd be out of luck, but thankfully(!) Zac replied to me within minutes... we worked on a good time to meet, he came to condo complex to pick up Sammy (..and was right on time :)). What a life safer for me and Sammy! Thank you again Zac!”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've immersed myself in their care since the age of 13. From volunteering at shelters and farms to watching over various pets, I've nurtured a deep bond with creatures of all kinds. Whether it's a cat, dog, guinea pig, bearded dragon, or any furry friend, I'm committed to their well-being. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority, as I continually seek to improve my skills and connect with them on a personal level. Expect me to go above and beyond, treating your beloved pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time hours so my availability is flexible. I am available throughout the week and over the weekend as well. Let me know when you would need me and I can see how I can make that work for you. I have one dog and a cat at home. We have a very safe backyard that is surrounded by a fence and we make sure to watch them whenever they go outside. We make sure that when we leave the house that we’re not gone for too long so that our dog can go to the bathroom and that both our dog and cat are comfortable and emotionally secure.
About: We have taken care of animals all our lives and have a genuine love for each of them. We have experience with it all; new puppies and kittens, as well as older furry friends who may need special treatment and/or administering medication. Between the both of us, we always make it a priority to work with our pups with lots of playtime, exercise, training and socialization daily. We both are self employed and create our own schedules so we are flexible and work together to ensure our pets have an enjoyable & active day. We have a large dog-friendly fenced-in yard as well as amazing trails just outside our backdoor. Our Aussie-Border Collie mix, Penny is super friendly and submissive and gets along with everyone. She is super gentle when needed and can hold her own with larger dogs also. We have a very well socialized cat, Eleanor, who LOVES dogs and visitors.
About: Hi, my name is Natalie! I'm a senior at the University of Nevada-Reno studying computer science and engineering, planning to begin my Masters in electrical engineering next fall. I'm on the track & field and cross country team here, and I do rigorous training for it! Hoping to take a dog or two on my runs! While I didn’t have the oppotunity to grow up with pets in the house, I did have a lot of beloved animals that I looked after while their owners were away. I was a routine dog-walker for a few family friends until they recently moved away. My dad adopted three adorable cats a few years ago, and I’ve gained lots of valuable experience learning about animal behaviors and cat care from them! I live a very active lifestyle, I run about 7 miles per day, and I love hiking in the Sierras. While my dad's cats can’t come with me, I’d love to take a dog (or leash-trained cat) along with me on a run! Hoping to meet your pets soon! Currently, my schedule consists of classes and cross country training in the early morning through early afternoon on weekdays. I have breaks in my schedule, so I’m free for pet loving almost all of the time! When pet-sitting, I’m always attentive of pets and their behaviors. I understand this is not my home, so I make sure to be respectful of house rules and stay clean.

“Susan took great care of our two pups! She sent lots of pics while we were out of town and was super easy to communicate with. Our pups received lots of love and attention from Susan and her family. Definitely recommend!!”
“Cody & Emily are great! They went above and beyond with caring for my pup. Easy communication. Great updates throughout the stay. And their home is clean, spacious and beautiful. All together, the experience was comfortable and easy. I felt very secure my pup was in good hands 💗.”
About: My dog recently passed away at the age of 16, so I am just trying to get my doggy fixes in. I would love if they could join me for a run or hike. I currently work full time at an office M-F but come home for lunch for an hour. But I can guarantee a morning, lunch and evening walk (or activity) I live in an adu apartment but have a big open backyard and don’t mind pets on furniture if you don’t mind them on furniture.
About: Dogs are part of the family! I’ve spent years caring for pups of all sizes, and I love walking, hiking, and exploring the beautiful trails of Incline Village with them. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or outdoor adventures, I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. My goal is to keep your furry friend happy, safe, and feeling like part of the family every single day. Your dog’s favorite Tahoe vacation starts here! 🐾🏔️❤️ I’m home all day, so your pup gets plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, and—when they’re up for it—Tahoe adventures! In our home, dogs are family. My own dog, Sailor, is part of everything we do, along with my kids, so I’m used to having happy, playful pups woven into our everyday life. Your dog won’t be tucked away waiting for someone to come home—they’ll be included in our day, showered with attention, and treated like one of our own. Morning walks, playful games, mountain exploring, cozy naps, and lots of family snuggles make for a pretty incredible Tahoe stay. My goal is for your pup to go home happy, relaxed, thoroughly loved, and wondering when they get to come back. 🐶❤️ I focus on in-home care, creating a safe, cozy, and loving environment where your pets feel secure, relaxed, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
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.
“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”
“Kayla was amazing with my dog, Macy. She kept me updated with pictures, gave her plenty of love and snuggles, and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling when unexpected personal matters arose. I highly recommend her!”
“Danielle was awesome with our pups! They were clearly excited and rightfully spoiled during the holidays. Felt comfortable and at ease having the dogs with her especially with the regular updates. She followed all instructions well and without issue especially for older dog. Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“Shannon was amazing! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, and I truly can’t thank her enough. Bella was so well cared for, and I really appreciated all the updates she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Megan was so great! It was our first time using Rover for our two senior Malamutes, and I was very nervous leaving our fur babies in a new place. She not only was wonderful with them, but also with me and my anxiety! She provided a lot of pictures and reassurance that they were doing well. She helped one of my dogs with a scraped nose, and even tried to brush them (they weren’t on board). Megan also has a stocked house with dog supplies, as we didn’t even think to bring anything besides the dogs and food (like when we boarded at a facility). They came home less anxious and with zero issues, unlike the last few times we boarded them at our usual place. Thank you Megan!”
“Millie loves going to see Megan’s family. I never worry if she’s well cared for. When my flight was delayed she was more than accommodating. Will never use anyone else🥰”
“Jacob and his fiancée did such a wonderful job taking care of Teddy! He provided photos and updates often and I was confident he was being well taken care of. My puppy always looked so happy and like he was always having so much fun!”
“Kat and Corey were wonderful! They took excellent care of our special-needs bulldog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, dependable sitters!”
“Pippin looked great when I picked her up. She didn’t know whether to stay with Wendy or come home with me. Wendy sent photos daily & she showed she really enjoyed Pippin. I would use Wendy anytime I needed dog sitting. Thank you Wendy & Wilbur”
“Ivy was a hit! She provided exceptional communication and sent daily updates with photos, taking the stress off of leaving our pet while out of town. Our cat is initially timid but was completely relaxed and happy, roaming around when we picked her up. Good job - thank you!”
“Shanna and her family are the BEST dog sitters. We are repeat customers. Our dog was happy to see them on her second visit and ran, tail wagging into their house. They send lots of photo updates and respond to all communication quickly. Drop-off and pick-ups are easy to arrange. Shanna even gave Chili a bath and brushed her out at the end of her stay.”
