About: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with small or medium size dogs. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether that means long walks in high meadows, playtime, or simply keeping them. I am currently working full-time from home, but I am not in scheduled meetings all day and can adjust my schedule to play, walk, or visit your pets. I have a large, fenced deck where your pet can enjoy sunbathing and fresh air. This space acts as an extension of our home, ensuring your pet's safety.
“Melissa was so wonderful with our boxer and he loved playing with her golden retriever. We received so many great pictures of his trips the beach! She even sent us home with a printed picture of our boy. I highly recommend!”

“Our dog Ellie had a great couple of days with Gabriel. She had walks and playing in the snow. Great feedback and updates with pictures while she was there, and she seemed very happy when we collected her. Would be very happy to use Gabriel again for dog sitting.”

“Luna had a great stay with Armand! She was very comfortable there and got out on plenty of walks. Armand was great to work with and very communicative! Already planning Luna’s next stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”


“Teeda was warm and welcoming to Yogi. She sent pictures every day, which meant a lot to me since this was the first extended time Yogi and I have been apart! I could rest my mind at ease knowing he was in a safe and loving environment with other pet friends.”

“Lara was very quick to respond and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We were very fortunate that Lara was available during Thanksgiving. Her place was very clean and well maintained. She was sending pictures of our pet periodically and took him on walks. Overall our pet was very happy We will certainly enlist her help next time we visit Tahoe.”

“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! 🐕”

“Cristin was great, Cayenne had a wonderful time. Lots of playtime at the park, loved curling up in the dogs beds, couch and bed at her place. Cristin made her cookies and Cayenne loved them.”

“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!”

“Tim was wonderful. He watched my pup for four nights and sent tons of photos each day. It was so calming to know she was well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks Tim!”

“Jan was great with our pup. She sent us regular photo and video updates so we knew she was being well taken care of. Jan ensured our dog got her daily exercise, even in inclement weather. I recommend Jan and will have her care for our dog again in the future.”

“emily was amazing! our nervous pup walked right into her house and gave her little hand kisses which is always a great sign. emily was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. she wanted to keep the pups on the same routine that they have at home which was so sweet. would book with her again when we’re back in the tahoe area.”

“I was nervous to leave my puppy with anyone even for a few days. He was just adjusting from our move to Tahoe. But all my fears were unfounded as Raluca loved on him to the point he barely missed me. Her regular updates brought me peace. She followed my instructions and learned my dog's patterns and limitations. She was an amazing find for my first use of Rover. We will have her take care of Duke again in the future.”

“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!”


“Brenna is absolutely wonderful! She takes such good care of my kitties when I’m gone, sending me the cutest pictures of my boys and giving thorough updates every check-in! Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Nicole took such great care of my girls and even got my shy/feral cat to play with her! I got some of the best action shots of my kitten jumping that had me and the friends I was visiting cracking up. I was never worried about my pets at all while I was away because Nicole was very responsive and communicative. My kittens and home were well taken care of 🥰”

“Katie did a great job looking after my two kitties. She responded right away to my booking inquiry and came over to meet the kitties before our trip. Katie was on time, responsive, and reliable. She had to deal with the fact that my kitties have a habit of getting excited, eating too fast, and then not being able to keep it down. She checked in with me and made some feeding adjustments over the visits and by the end of our trip both kitties were happily retaining their food. She also sent lots of great pictures during her visits. I would recommend Katie to others and hope to book with her again in the future.”

About: I’m Chloe, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for pets of all kinds. I have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and truly enjoy walking, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. Pet care isn’t part of my everyday routine, but when I take on a booking, it becomes a priority. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure pets are fed, walked, exercised, and given attention according to their normal schedule. As well as extra love and snuggles, I love pets!!
About: *Special Situation * I live in a van with my dog Milo, if I watch your fur babies Milo will need to be able to stay in the house as well. I have been around dogs my entire life, I love to give dogs a fun and active environment with as much love and playtime necessary. Milo, who has brought me such joy in life and he loves to be around other dogs too! I have lots of free time Friday through Monday to care for your dogs and give them the attention they deserve.

“Tim was an excellent cat sitter while we were away on a weeklong trip. Stopping by a couple times a day and always providing a lot of photos of our girl to keep our worries at bay. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Tahoe area!”

About: I have had cats my entire life and have cared for friends and families cats often. I have had special needs cats including cats needing kidney care, daily medication, etc. I have volunteered in shelters to make cats more comfortable with people, feed, play, and clean litter boxes.
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.
“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.”

About: I grew up in a farm like environment with many animals, including cats. When asked the question "dogs or cats," I answer cats. Their independence and antics bring me a lot of joy. It's an honor to be trusted with anyone's pet🙏 thank you for letting me spend time with your furry family member.

“I booked a daycare for Toffee when I went for dinner! She had a blast playing in the yard with the sitter’s other dog. She came home happy and tired, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The sitter was friendly and communicative, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Would definitely book again!”

“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.”

“Emily provides a safe and comfortable environment for our pup plus a nice backyard to play in. We can always tell how well our pup is cared for when we make a return visit and he runs to the front door wagging his tail. Great communication and sharing of updates, definitely will use her again when we visit South Tahoe.”

“Kristian was great. My dog came back a very happy camper. Kristian is great with communication and providing updates and pics and vids. He was extremely flexible. I highly recommend!!!”

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.
“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.”

“She was awesome- my first Rover experience and it went well! My dog was so excited to see her the next day so that says a lot. Easy to work things out with her and she is very responsive. I also received numerous photos of my pup throughout the day which I appreciate! Thanks Stephanie!”

“Lara is a super kind and sweet sitter. She took care of our 9 months old Cavapoo in her lovely home, while we were skiing in Heavenly two days in a row. Our puppy played with Lara's clam dog, both indoor and in the backyard. We will definitely reach out to Lara another time. Thank you!!”

“This was the first time my pup had been left with a stranger and Melissa was fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable and gave several updates through the day. Her dog obi and my dog got along so well! I would confidently leave my pup with Melissa any time.”

About: With over 5 years of dog sitting experience serving 50+ families and dog walking since age 20, I bring reliable, compassionate care to every pet. As a certified Physician Assistant, I'm skilled in administering medications and monitoring health needs, making me especially equipped for senior pets or those with medical conditions. My active lifestyle in South Lake Tahoe means high-energy dogs get the exercise they crave through trail hikes and outdoor adventures, while senior pets receive gentle, patient care tailored to their comfort. Whether your pup needs training reinforcement, daily walks, or a trusted companion while you're away, I treat every dog and cat like family. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, giving me ample time for walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Whether your pup needs daily walks or extended stays, I can accommodate most schedules and provide personalized attention when your pet needs it most. I have an unfenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who loves making new furry friends. Your pet will enjoy safe playtime on leash in a secure outdoor space or calm companionship indoors, depending on their personality and needs. I can easily crate your dog if needed for their comfort and safety. As a healthcare professional, I maintain a clean, organized home environment and follow any special instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away.
“Nettie saved us last minute over Christmas and was so pleasant. Our pup really seemed to be happy to be there. Sounds like they had a good time and went for a hike. Highly recommend! Thank you Nettie!”

We came to Lake Tahoe to visit and when We got here we found out that our Rental home was not pets allowed ?I starting looking for a dog sitter for our two dogs , and the first person that contacted me was Diane, I was so nervous because it was the first time that we used this application.

“Caitlin and her husband took great care of my jack russell Jackie while we were skiing for the day. They send me updates during the day and were flexible with the pick up time, as we were coming back from the mountains. Caitlin was great at communicating and ultimately my dog did not get along with hers, they made sure to keep them separate to ensure both pups were happy. I highly recommend them. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats over the years and always go above and beyond to make them and their parents happy. I have worked with small and large dogs, one to three dogs at once, old and puppies. I love animals so much and watching them is always the best part of my day! I have my own business so I am able to leave and walk a dog whenever I need to! When doing doggy day care or boarding I will often bring the pup with me to the gallery so it can hang out. I am very attentive and any time I am walking a dog I make sure to be very aware of our surroundings. Even when I let them out in a backyard I make sure to keep an eye on them. I always make sure everything is okay before I leave (checking there’s no food out, making sure they have enough water, triple checking there’s door is closed and locked!)

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: What I would say sets me apart from other walkers/sitters, is my care and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and adjust my care style accordingly. I have always had a passion for animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available almost everyday, all day to care for your pups! I just recently moved up to South Lake for college and am living in the dorms, so I’m trying to save up some extra money doing what I love! On walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always stay alert to surroundings, and avoid busy or unsafe areas. I always make sure to bring water on longer walks, watch for signs of tiredness or overheating, and give them time to sniff and explore. I also reinforce good leash behavior with gentle guidance and positive encouragement. Each walk is a mix of exercise, care, and fun.

About: My love for animals follows me wherever I go: from guiding mule rides in the Grand Canyon to fostering kittens while rock climbing in West Virginia - the animals always seem to find me! I was born and raised with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and reptiles. This eclectic group taught me a lot about caring for and acknowledging each animals unique needs and characteristics. I've cared for sensitive, young, old, special needs and difficult dogs over the years, and know some require more patience and attention than others. Giving medicine, preparing special diets, providing mentally stimulating activity and preventing dogs from over exertion after surgery are all tasks I've done as a dedicated pet owner for a variety of small and large dog breeds. I'm currently a full-time student at LTCC and work for the Wilderness Education and Outdoor Leadership AA Degree Program. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home part time. I can take an hour break often to check in on pets. I care for pets in clients' homes and can take them out on adventures when appropriate. I often have dogs come visit my house on a field trip. I live near Reagan Beach and enjoy hiking the local trails. Typically go for 3 mile hikes for about an hour in the morning or afternoon.

“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.”

“Teeda was warm and welcoming to Yogi. She sent pictures every day, which meant a lot to me since this was the first extended time Yogi and I have been apart! I could rest my mind at ease knowing he was in a safe and loving environment with other pet friends.”

“Lara was very quick to respond and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We were very fortunate that Lara was available during Thanksgiving. Her place was very clean and well maintained. She was sending pictures of our pet periodically and took him on walks. Overall our pet was very happy We will certainly enlist her help next time we visit Tahoe.”

“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: I love dogs so much and have had them hem all throughout my life. I live very close to a hiking area and take dogs on long walks daily. I look forward to meeting your doggies! I can take your dogs on hikes, or whatever activity level they need :) we are very active, so the dogs can come with us wherever.

“Cristin was great, Cayenne had a wonderful time. Lots of playtime at the park, loved curling up in the dogs beds, couch and bed at her place. Cristin made her cookies and Cayenne loved them.”

“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!”

“Tim was wonderful. He watched my pup for four nights and sent tons of photos each day. It was so calming to know she was well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks Tim!”

“Jan was great with our pup. She sent us regular photo and video updates so we knew she was being well taken care of. Jan ensured our dog got her daily exercise, even in inclement weather. I recommend Jan and will have her care for our dog again in the future.”

“emily was amazing! our nervous pup walked right into her house and gave her little hand kisses which is always a great sign. emily was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. she wanted to keep the pups on the same routine that they have at home which was so sweet. would book with her again when we’re back in the tahoe area.”

“I was nervous to leave my puppy with anyone even for a few days. He was just adjusting from our move to Tahoe. But all my fears were unfounded as Raluca loved on him to the point he barely missed me. Her regular updates brought me peace. She followed my instructions and learned my dog's patterns and limitations. She was an amazing find for my first use of Rover. We will have her take care of Duke again in the future.”

“Kymberly has made an excellent job taking care of Umma (dog) in her house. I received daily updates with videos/photos. Umma doesn't really get along with other dogs too much, but Kymberly was able to take her to the dog park and make her socialize with other dogs (I couldn't believe while watching the videos). I'm very thankful for Kymberly's professionalism and I won't hesitate to contact her again in the future.”
