“Gabriel took very good care of our dog Stacy while we were out of town for a couple days and sent daily updates which we really enjoyed. I would use Gabriel again for 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!”
“Melissa was amazing and took care of our Toby when our daughter got married. Her dog Obi and Toby became great friends during their walks and playtime. Melissa has a nice big fenced yard and sent us photos and videos throughout the day. Highly recommend as she definitely took great care of our fur baby!”
“Boarded my frenchie with Stephanie while staying in Tahoe, and loved the experience. She took great care of my pup, got her lots of playtime with others, and went for a few walks. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care-taker for our 60lb Vizsla. She was accommodating, communicative, and thoughtful, and cared for George as if he was her own. She made sure that as an active dog, he was adequately stimulated, and she made sure he was comfortable in his foreign environment while we were away. In addition, she made sure to send us updates in a nonintrusive yet fully transparent way. As dog parents, we felt calm and confident that George was in safe and loving hands. This is all we could wish for while away from our pup! Would 10/10 recommend. Thanks, Jennifer!”
“Shane is incredible! This was my first time leaving my new rescue pup who is very shy, he won’t let many people even get close to him and Shane sent me a video of them cuddling on the couch. ❤️ Shane was so kind and gentle with my pup. I’m so grateful how awesome it worked out. Plus, his two dogs are very chill and well behaved which was also great for my pup to play with them. Can't recommend Shane enough! There's more, his location is also amazing for the dogs because it’s far from any busy streets and right by a trailhead. 🙌”
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.
“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!”
“Alexis was so sweet with the dogs. They stayed at her home and she kept them entertained and feeling safe and loved. One of my dogs gets anxious so she gave her toys and played soothing music. It was a great experience to leave them with her over the Holidays!”
“Holy Smokes, Kate is amazing and I could not ask for someone better to watch my pup, she has been so communicative and really makes you feel a lot better about being away from your loved one for however long, she is also super supportive about all of your needs and will make sure you and your pup are left happy, please if you read this don’t scroll no further, Kate is your girl and she will treat you and your pup right and I promise you’ll never look for another person to watch your loved ones ever again! Thank you Kate ❤️”
“Jaimie was awesome! She was flexible around a few oddities with pickup/drop off, but most importantly treated our dog Maple so well! Great walks and play time, we could tell Maple was very happy. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“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: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs. From growing up with two golden retrievers to getting my own dog louie at 17- and seeing him through his senior years all the way up until his passing this past February. We still have his sweet loving sister Nala who is 5, a tender gentle girl who lives for fetch! She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life. My husband Louie (my dog Louie came first they just happened to have the same name! lol) is also an animal lover and instantly adopted my babies upon meeting and has always treated them with tender and diligent care. We are responsible loving and caring pet parents who take the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward hearing from you. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create with plenty of time to work around the needs of the animals I am caring for. We currently live in a home with an enclosed deck space, however whenever we aren't home we keep the windows and doors completely shut and locked.
About: We hit the trails daily and have plenty of safe, secure space to exercise your pup. I'm currently taking on some gig work to supplement my grad school aid as I finish my degree. Time is as precious as the angels by our side, and I’ll treat your pup like my own. For your peace of mind, I maintain an active Wilderness EMT certification, and my trail kit always includes canine-specific tourniquets and first aid. Flexible schedule. We prefer early, especially before a summer crowd, so that there is some safe space for everyone to run off leash and feel the freedom we all deserve. Selectively accepting a few well mannered companions. We'll keep a good eye. I have a couple spare tracking collars if that is a concern for off leash activity.
“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.”

“My original plans didn't have me gone for a whole day but then at the last minute they changed. A friend recommended Rover.com and I couldn't be happier or more pleased with how it all worked out, literally the day before I had to leave! I reached out to Stephanie as she looked to be the closest to my house and she was extremely responsive and was willing and able to book the time with my sweet Loki, my 85 pound black English Lab. Stephanie stayed in communication with me when she was heading over, sent photos of how Loki was doing with her - he had never met her before - and let me know when she left. Even my VERY TIMID cat was willing to make an appearance which is a first for her around a stranger. I am/was very impressed with Stephanie's experience with dogs and she demonstrated that she was able to earn both Loki's and Hela (the cat's) trust - she has earned mine too!”
“Gabriel is spectacular - one of the best sitters we’ve had. Very communicative, and incredibly willing to help especially with our elderly dogs. Would recommend him to anyone else and hire him again in a heartbeat”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She responded quickly and provided detailed updates and lots of photos. She spent lots of time playing and cuddling with our cat at each visit and noticed our cat seemed lonely and offered to stay longer to spend more time. Our cat was very happy! Will book again!”
“Angelique and her boyfriend Pete were excellent! I needed help with my sweet little kitty who does not like to be alone for a last minute trip out of town, and Angelique and Pete made me feel super comfortable, sent lots of snuggle photos, and took care of my house and my little lady perfectly! Looking forward to continuing my relationship with them for future house/pet sitting needs! Would highly recommend this duo to any pet owner.”
“Melissa watched my cat for a week while my family vacationed in Tahoe. She did a great job, and made sure my cat got lots of love and was comfortable. She sent me nightly pictures and was responsive to my messages. I recommend!”
“Very satisfied with our pet sitter. He fed our cats, cleaned their litter boxes, and played with them. He was also in constant communication so we got pictures and updates. We'll definitely hire them again.”
“Maddie did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town. She is a great communicator and provided us with great pictures of our kitty every day. Our cat can be standoffish with new people, but Maddie was able to gain his trust quickly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Ive had dogs all my life and I've cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and ages. My dog Jax is a testament to the quality of love and care I provide. I am currently unemployed so pet care and personal health are my top priorities. I try to do at least one dog related activity daily. I live in a very quiet and dog friendly neighborhood with a great yard for visitors. My dog Jax is an 8 year old Lab mix with the perfect temperament, he welcomes every guest into our home with warmth.
“Natalie has been amazing with our 4-month old pup! She’s been coming regularly to walk/play/feed him, and is super responsive, reliable, always updates me, and most importantly, our puppy loves Natalie! She’s also brought her dog with her (after asking me if it was ok, which I gladly said yes to!), and her dog has also been great with my puppy and helps tire him out:) would highly recommend.”

“We were in Tahoe for few days and decided to play a round of golf but we did not know what are we going to do with our dog Max. Checked online on Rover.com and found Teeda. She was AWESOME. Max fell in love with her not to mention at the end of the day he was sooo tired after hiking, walking, playing with other dogs....Max had a blast. Teeda was right on time for pick up and drop off and she sent us pictures during the day to let us know how max was doing. I would kindly recommend her to anyone!”
“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 :)”
“Kate was amazing!! We were in need of a sitter very last minute and she responded within minutes! She was very nice and sent pictures throughout the day! She even walked them twice in the day she watched them which was very sweet! Highly recommend her!! :)”
“Steph was excellent with Milo, when we dropped him off on Sunday (2nd day) Milo couldn’t stop wagging his tail. She also has 2 dogs who gave Milo great company when she took him out on a hike. I would highly recommend Steph.”
“Tim was great with Klay! He was also willing to meet us somewhere besides the original meeting place to have us avoid driving up roads with chain control. I would book with Tim again.”
“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.”
“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!!”

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: Hi! I’m Nicole, and this is my partner Alex. We both work fully remote! We spent the last few years traveling abroad throughout the America’s and a little bit of Europe. 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 and 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 15 years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms while abroad, 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, just let us know.

About: taking care of attention to detail and listening to the small stuff that really makes a big difference. Being a clear communicator about all aspects of care It is important to make time for the animals because they have bodily rhythms and clocks that do not change just because someone else is in care I make sure to walk around the home slowly anticipating that the cat will try to trip me up. I am careful to hear all the noises from the animals
About: I have been an animal, lover and pet owner since my young years of life! I’ve always owned dogs and cats and have watched over loved ones animals as well over the years. I’ve spent the last two years professionally walking dogs in the Tahoe area for families of all different needs - whether it is housesitting, drop- in visits, or boarding needs - for small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and older animals, my experience is thorough and backed by love. I am a very active individual and can take animals needing high activity, hiking or running, but I’m also happy to relax with those calmer pets who enjoy the slower peace of life. I have endless references to provide insight to my past care and glowing reviews, and can’t wait to be considered for your furry ones care and create ease in the household when needed! I currently work as a Remote Insurance Agent for Globe Life which allows me full flexibility to accommodate your family's and furry loved ones needs - I have availability for overnight care, boarding requests, drop in visits for tailored walks or playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medical requests, and prompt check-ins. This change of pace has been a nice alternative from the hustle and bustle of past work experience as a project coordinator, logistics broker, hospitality leader in the concierge world, and constant stream of server jobs! 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!
“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.”
“Alli is a great communicator and amazing with my dog, Duke! She always keeps me in the loop on how his walks are going and is very skillful at handling him and reading his body language to ensure Duke and her have a great time together. So thankful to have found her!”

About: Pets are like family, no two ways about it! They give us their undivided attention, loyalty and love. I get great joy from spending time with, and connecting with all dogs and cats. When meeting any new animal, I focus on understanding them, communicating with them, observing their signals, and building trust with them.

Over the past 6 years I have done a range of pet sitting cats and dogs as far as house sitting, feeding, daily walks or hikes. I’m currently working part time, I am flexible with times and am willing to work with your schedule/dates needed to take care of your furr loved ones. Im always outside and walking in nature and taking a pup with me is no problem for me. I love to give animals all the attention they need.

“Boarded my frenchie with Stephanie while staying in Tahoe, and loved the experience. She took great care of my pup, got her lots of playtime with others, and went for a few walks. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care-taker for our 60lb Vizsla. She was accommodating, communicative, and thoughtful, and cared for George as if he was her own. She made sure that as an active dog, he was adequately stimulated, and she made sure he was comfortable in his foreign environment while we were away. In addition, she made sure to send us updates in a nonintrusive yet fully transparent way. As dog parents, we felt calm and confident that George was in safe and loving hands. This is all we could wish for while away from our pup! Would 10/10 recommend. Thanks, Jennifer!”
“Shane is incredible! This was my first time leaving my new rescue pup who is very shy, he won’t let many people even get close to him and Shane sent me a video of them cuddling on the couch. ❤️ Shane was so kind and gentle with my pup. I’m so grateful how awesome it worked out. Plus, his two dogs are very chill and well behaved which was also great for my pup to play with them. Can't recommend Shane enough! There's more, his location is also amazing for the dogs because it’s far from any busy streets and right by a trailhead. 🙌”
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.

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.

About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.
About: We hit the trails daily and have plenty of safe, secure space to exercise your pup. I'm currently taking on some gig work to supplement my grad school aid as I finish my degree. Time is as precious as the angels by our side, and I’ll treat your pup like my own. For your peace of mind, I maintain an active Wilderness EMT certification, and my trail kit always includes canine-specific tourniquets and first aid. Flexible schedule. We prefer early, especially before a summer crowd, so that there is some safe space for everyone to run off leash and feel the freedom we all deserve. Selectively accepting a few well mannered companions. We'll keep a good eye. I have a couple spare tracking collars if that is a concern for off leash activity.
“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.”
