Prices are estimates per night for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hello! I’ve been regularly looking after dogs and cats for about 5 years, and I’ve had parrots most of my life, so I’m comfortable with birds too. I have a deep respect for the place I stay at - maintain necessary privacy and keep the house clean and tidy during my stay (check Airbnb reviews in the last photos). I work on creative projects from home - writing a book and doing online consulting and life coaching. I’m around plenty to keep your pet a company, play, engage, and follow your pet’s schedule. A note on overnight stays: I do require a separate bedroom to recharge. This is important for me to show up fully for your pet and maintain my energy and focus for my work the next day. If your pet used to sleep with a human and struggles with overnight separation, I may not be the best fit. I appreciate your understanding! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend 🙏🏻 I am an energy therapist and provide sessions online. I make my own schedule. Looking after a pet is an additional source of income for me, so I treat it equally as a job and make a proper time in my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I only provide a service of looking after your pet at your property and do not take pets to my home. I will do so only in a case of an emergency.
“Gabriel was quick to respond and accommodating. I have an older reactive dog and Gabriel’s house was the perfect getaway. Lots of yard and she was welcomed on the couch/bed. Will be booking again.”
“Stephanie was just the best!! I have a 7month old puppy with lots of energy and she took the best care of him, he got to meet and play with new dog friends and go on walks, and she updated me with pictures throughout the day that brought me a great peace of mind! This was my first time using Rover and Stephanie made it such a pleasant experience!! I needed a last minute reservation and she made it happen for me on the busiest day of the year!! Stephanie was so good with Amos!!”
“Sunshine absolutely loves Melissa. Her home is peaceful, fun and suites Sunshine so well. She enjoys her daily walks and gets plenty of attention and comes home feeling happy and healthy. I’m grateful for such good care!!”
“I'm always nervous when someone new watches our little girl Riley, but Patty and Randy made us feel at ease as soon as we dropped Riley off. Love that its only small dogs as that is so hard to find (especially near South Lake Tahoe). Great communication and just lovely people all around - highly recommend!”
“Gina & spouse were so kind & loving to our 14 yr old poodle mix Murphy!! The proof of their excellent care was his constant tail wagging whenever Gina spoke to him on pick up day. Also a big thanks to you Gina for applying his eye meds!! That was extra care & very much appreciated. Hope he gets to stay with you again soon.”
“Anton was amazing. Not only did he take care of my free small for kids. I’m short notice but he kept me updated and let me know how sweet they all were. Even better when the fur kids got home they were so excited to be around him and definitely fell in love. There were a few little whimpers once they saw him leave. Anton is definitely a repeat sitter and has gained my trust very rapidly. Thank you very much for taking care of my little fur family members.”
“We had to find a dog sitter very last minute for our dog finch and Adam and Lauren were super accommodating! They provided good communication and updates to us while watching our dog, they had many other dogs for finch to play with too while assuring us that finch would be safe around them.”
“Teeda was fantastic with our dog, who was nervous being away from “mom and dad”. They took walks in the woods, played and we got lots of pictures while we were apart. I highly recommend Teeda! She provided a wonderful “vacation” for our Cesky Brita!🩷”
“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!”
“Kate is such a kind and sweet carer. Her house has an adventurous, fun backyard and is lovely, welcoming and neat inside. Our dog had so much fun with her three dogs. Kate sent us so many videos and photos. Thank you Kate!!”
“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.”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”
“Our dog usually doesn’t do well with new people. But Jamie understood him completely. Our dog loves be on a high perch and look outside. And Jamie saw that right off the bat. She got two high perches next to the window so that our dog (Coco) had multiple options to choose from. We’re not from the area, but Jamie made us very assured Coco would be alright. Thank you Jamie!”
“Ashley was so great helping us last minute when we had travel cancellations! Her flexibility was so so appreciated. Leo had a blast and was exhausted for 2 days after returning home! I’d look to Ashley again for sure!”

Like many sitters, I have had my own pets and lots of experience as a sitter for friends, family, and clientele.

About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
“Annette is highly professional, and I could not be more thankful to have her to watch my kitty. Annette stepped up very last minute, and I knew immediately that she would be the perfect sitter. She was excellent with communication, very caring and loving, and I felt completely comfortable having her stay in my home. My heart was warmed with updates and photos of Del while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Annette to other pet parents.”
About: My name is Carrie Anne, and I am a Momma to our my special older boy Balloo who has made it to 15 years old ! Baloo is a pit plot hound mix and one of the great loves of my life! I have raise my two children with our animals and have a vast experience with both young and elderly care for them in our home. I am a woman of integrity and heart currently finishing my degree and serve weekly at my church in several ministry areas including music and with our youth. My animals and my home are my place of peace. I would love nothing more than to be able to create that same sense of peace for clients needing trustworthy animal care in their home and work done with integrity. I have been a Nevada resident now for 15 years and have recently moved to the fenominal city of Reno. Each week I fine new things to love and explore about my city! I understand what it is like to have the need for animal care when working long hours or needing time away from home to share with family and the need to have confidence that your home and well beloved critters are taken care of with competence. The care our my home and animals is a top priority and one I take seriously. It is the start and dedicated ending to each and every day. I am a detail oriented person. It is my goal to honor and follow the requests of clients and treat their home and animals as if they were my own. I hope this gives you peek behind the curtain of my character as a person and a care provider for your animals and it is my privilege to provide for you this care. I currently work full time swing shift Tuesday through Friday. I successfully work in clients around this schedule and and have been doing so with happy clients for several years. I am so pleased to provide these services and it has been a joyful experience for me personally as well as an opportunity to meet so many wonderful individuals and their animals. I care for clients animals as I would my own. Their needs come first and I follow the instructions of my clients and how they would prefer their animal be cared for always.

“Tim was AMAZING. He accepted a very last minute request to entertain Ruba while I was working. He took her on adventures and kept me in the loop the entire time. She enjoyed it so much, we booked again the next day. Fantastic communication, flexibility and pet friendship.”
“For the last 3 years we have used Melissa to watch our sweet girl. She is so good with her and Izzy loves going to her home and playing with her dog. Highly recommend her!”

“Adam was the best!!! We were scrambling to get a dog sitter last minute due to some change in family plans and he was the most helpful one! He was even willing to pick up Diesel closer to our destination since we were almost late for our trip. Will definitely book him next time!!”
“Teeda is amazing!! If she is available during the times you need for your pet, book her! She is amazing! Literally felt like family watching our 2 dogs, I felt so confident leaving them with her and she was so kind and accommodating with our needs and during our family vacation. I can’t say good enough things about her! We will book again if we are in town!”
“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 :)”
“Jan was AMAZING! I’d give 6 stars if I could. Jan took Toby to the beach and sent us loads of photos. Toby was exhausted when we got home(as any dog owner knows, this is a good thing!). Also shows that Jan was out and about with our little one, which we are also super appreciate of! We will use Jan again the next time we are in Tahoe.”
“Kate was an angel and saved our day by accepting our last minute request. I got a ton of updates and pictures and my dog was perfectly happy at pickup. Highly recommend!!”
“Kelly is AMAZING. She dog-sat my 3 month old puppy Layla and did a fantastic job. Layla didn't even want to leave at the end of the day. Kelly took the time to do a meet and greet and took lots of notes. She took Layla to a fenced in yard and played with her for hours. She gives all of her attention to her client which i really appreciated.”
“Elizabeth is very easy going with a calm energy. Champ hung out with her two nights in a row while we attended a concert in town. The second night he ran right up to her door and was like “bye mom!” I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth for any form of doggo care!”
About: I’ve always had pets and been around animals since I was young. Since moving to Tahoe I watch animals on a weekly basis, and enjoy every minute! I work remotely and I am able to watch dogs throughout the day. The remote job also allows be to travel and be more attentive to the pets. I am very big on attention and activity. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. Or if they prefer to rest and relax, making sure they are comfortable. Either way, understanding the needs of the dog and tailoring the care to them.
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.

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

Dependable care is the name of my game for your family's needs. I have a large fenced backyard off of North Upper Truckee Road in South Lake Tahoe and access to endless trails such as the Angora Meadow and Big Meadow. I have one loving and sweet dog named Addy who will be a perfect and compassionate companion for your pets or can be separated if requested. My cat, Maithai, likes to observe dogs from a distance and stays to herself unless she is in a playful mood. She can be separated as well since my spacious 3 bedroom home offers such accommodations. I have reliable transportation with ample space in my Toyota Sienna. Whatever services you request or needs you prioritize - I can guarantee to be able to deliver. Your comfort and trust in my care takes all precedence!

“Gabriel was quick to respond and accommodating. I have an older reactive dog and Gabriel’s house was the perfect getaway. Lots of yard and she was welcomed on the couch/bed. Will be booking again.”
“Stephanie was just the best!! I have a 7month old puppy with lots of energy and she took the best care of him, he got to meet and play with new dog friends and go on walks, and she updated me with pictures throughout the day that brought me a great peace of mind! This was my first time using Rover and Stephanie made it such a pleasant experience!! I needed a last minute reservation and she made it happen for me on the busiest day of the year!! Stephanie was so good with Amos!!”
“Sunshine absolutely loves Melissa. Her home is peaceful, fun and suites Sunshine so well. She enjoys her daily walks and gets plenty of attention and comes home feeling happy and healthy. I’m grateful for such good care!!”
“Gina & spouse were so kind & loving to our 14 yr old poodle mix Murphy!! The proof of their excellent care was his constant tail wagging whenever Gina spoke to him on pick up day. Also a big thanks to you Gina for applying his eye meds!! That was extra care & very much appreciated. Hope he gets to stay with you again soon.”
“Anton was amazing. Not only did he take care of my free small for kids. I’m short notice but he kept me updated and let me know how sweet they all were. Even better when the fur kids got home they were so excited to be around him and definitely fell in love. There were a few little whimpers once they saw him leave. Anton is definitely a repeat sitter and has gained my trust very rapidly. Thank you very much for taking care of my little fur family members.”
“We had to find a dog sitter very last minute for our dog finch and Adam and Lauren were super accommodating! They provided good communication and updates to us while watching our dog, they had many other dogs for finch to play with too while assuring us that finch would be safe around them.”
“Teeda was fantastic with our dog, who was nervous being away from “mom and dad”. They took walks in the woods, played and we got lots of pictures while we were apart. I highly recommend Teeda! She provided a wonderful “vacation” for our Cesky Brita!🩷”
“Jennifer and her boyfriend, Jack, were great hosts for our dog Brody while we were skiing in town for a couple days! They were both super nice and genuine, very accommodating with a last minute daycare request, and were flexible with our schedule which was super helpful! They both asked questions the drop off, sent us a ton of pictures throughout the day, and overall made us feel very comfortable with having our dog there with them! I would absolutely recommend and we will use them again when we are in the area!”
“Faith is an absolute gem of a dog sitter, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I reached out last minute — the kind of request most sitters would turn down without a second thought — and she said yes without hesitation. What really stood out was how thoughtfully she handled Atlas’s anxiety. She didn’t treat it as an inconvenience; she approached it with patience and genuine care, and it made such a difference knowing my pup was in calm, understanding hands rather than just being “watched.” On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and even made a special exception for me when I needed a time outside her normal hours. She didn’t make me feel like a burden for asking — she just made it work. That kind of grace is rare. And the updates! She check-ins with photos and messages that were so reassuring. You could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions — she actually cared how he was doing. If you have a dog with any special needs or anxiety, Faith is your person. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Faith! 🐾”
“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!”
“Kate is such a kind and sweet carer. Her house has an adventurous, fun backyard and is lovely, welcoming and neat inside. Our dog had so much fun with her three dogs. Kate sent us so many videos and photos. Thank you Kate!!”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”
“Our dog usually doesn’t do well with new people. But Jamie understood him completely. Our dog loves be on a high perch and look outside. And Jamie saw that right off the bat. She got two high perches next to the window so that our dog (Coco) had multiple options to choose from. We’re not from the area, but Jamie made us very assured Coco would be alright. Thank you Jamie!”
