“Megan was a great sitter for our Charlie! I appreciated the effort she made to meet up before hand to get to know him. She was also easy to schedule and communicate with. I loved all of pictures we got throughout his stay. Coming home, Charlie was totally chilled out and happy; seems like he had a great time at Megan’s house and we so appreciate the care and attention she gave our old pup.”
“Trulie was wonderful with our Shih-Tzu Shazam! She has a big beautiful yard for dogs to run around in and 2 fellow Shih-Tzus that mine could chill with. She is very loving towards Shazam and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing - she always made sure he was safe and comfortable (and well-loved)! Will definitely bring Shazam back!”
“Kathryn is amazing! The best person Teddy could of had! She really cares about dogs 🐕 Teddy is a very happy little guy, and we will definitely be back to have Kathryn care for him again. Her yard is fenced and perfect for my little boy. Thank you!”
“As a first time Rover user I was very hesitant leaving my little love with a stranger! Ron put my worries at ease from the meet and greet until the end of my trip! He was phenomenal! He sent photos while I was away so I could see what everyone was up to, and one of his photos was the best picture that has ever been captured of Scout (and is now my phone background)! When my flight home was cancelled, he was very flexible and understanding! I can really tell Ron took care of Scout, because when I usually leave him with friends, he is hoarse from barking, but not with Ron! I'm beyond satisfied and will continue to book with Ron for future travels Scout can't participate in!”
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“Laura was terrific with Millie. She made certain Millie ate even to the point of hand feeding Millie in the beginning of the nine day stay. Laura gave daily reviews. She gave the medication as needed. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Roseana is super easygoing and reliable. Her laidback nature made the whole process smooth, and my old l doggie was happy and relaxed. Would definitely book again!”
“Megan and her family are great! This was my second time using them. They kept me informed, sent pics, and gave my girls lots of love. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Kelly and her husband were great! She sent me updates and pictures regularly, they were very flexible on drop off and pick up and my dog Rocky had a very good time. Thank You!”
“Danielle did amazing with my Dakota! Dakota can take some time to adjust and Danielle was very patient and calm with her, which is exactly what she needs. She also gave her medicine with ease. Will be booking again if I am back in Nevada!”
“They were awesome! Kept me up to date with pics of texts of my husky and their dogs were awesome with her as well 10/10 would recommend and would use them again! Thanks guys”
“Ivy took great care of our boy! She sent us pictures and messages about how he was doing. He appeared happy and healthy upon pick up. Ivy has a big back yard that worked well with our energetic and active Labrador. I would highly recommend Ivy as a trusted pet sitter!”
“I had a last minute trip and Melissa took great care of my pup while I was away! She was flexible with my early drop off time and very responsive. Thank you!”
“Susan and her family were incredible! We have never left our boys with anyone who isn't family, but Susan took care of them as if they were. If you are looking for some place for your dogs to get plenty of love and attention while you are away, I absolutely recommend Susan! We have already booked our next stay with her.”
“Lisa is a gem! From the initial booking request through to the completion of our first stay, Lisa was engaging and very prompt in responding to inquiries. Could not be more pleased to have found her!”
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.
“Pippa was happy and had a play mate. Gina was easy to work with and accommodating with our day and time changes with major weather conditions. Will take Pippa again next year.”

“Temma took care of our two kitties while we were away for six days and I would def use her services again. She was communicative, followed the written instructions, and went above and beyond to help out with an errand for our dogs that were boarding at the pet lodge in town. We very much appreciated her help!”

“Jacqueline was great with my dog pepper! She was able to come and check on him, sent pictures, and let me know how he was during a long day of work! Great with communication, and would definitely trust her to check in/watch pepper again!”
“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 grown up with all sorts of cats both young and old and have always been their primary caretaker in our home. I am a local living at the lake in Tahoe City. I work at the local elementary school with young children with special needs. I am a caring loving person that has pays great attention to details.
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for more than 10 years. I’m the owner of Furbal Remedies and have years of experience supporting dogs with anxiety, allergies, digestive sensitivities, mobility concerns, special diets, supplements, and medications. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially for pets with unique needs. My goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a midday check-in, vacation care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so they receive the same thoughtful care they’re used to at home. I’ll always treat your home with respect, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. For first-time clients, I prefer a quick Meet & Greet with you and your dog before their first booking whenever scheduling allows. It gives us a chance to meet, go over their routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their first visit.
“We were visiting Truckee to ski for a weekend and brought our 5 month old puppy! Chloe spent a few hours with her each day and was amazing - she was super communicative, reliable, and friendly. We will definitely contact her next time we are in Tahoe!”
“Lidia did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my 7 month old kitten while I was away. She was communicative throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. She was also flexible, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my kitten’s needs. I would absolutely hire Lidia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She was a pleasure to work with!”
“Mariah was so attentive and took extra care with my cat and bird. It was such a good experience to know that she was watching after them while I was away. I highly recommend her and will request her in the future. Thank you, Mariah!”

“Monica was so very helpful! She sent me so many photos of miss Jade. I knew she was a great sitter because my cat has a hard time coming out when new people come around. But she was not shy with Monica!! A good sign indeed. She gave her a lot of love and pets. I would highly recommend Monica and will definitely have her watch Jade again! (:”

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!
“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”
“Very sweet, really cared about our dogs! It was our first time leaving our babies with anyone and we couldn’t have found better people to watch them. Will definitely be back”
“Brittany was great! Very good communication. Sent pictures of my pup during the day and was mindful of my old girl’s joints, making sure she didn’t play too hard. Would definitely use Brittany again!”

“Amara you went above and beyond! The pix lovely, the owl a treat! I kinda wish I’d been there instead of Sacramento trafffic🤦♀️I am absolutely delighted Gracie and I have found you!❤️What a lucky dog!”
“Malia was great to work with. She had great communication. Did a good job confirming times and clarifying what we were comfortable with. She picked up my Aussie mix and took her on a pack walk with a couple of other dogs on a nice long hike in Tahoe while we skied. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Have had Chloe as my daily walker for two weeks now and she is *fantastic.* Very communicative, friendly, and takes excellent care of my dog. I will happily continue being her client as long as I need a walker and as long as she can fit us into her schedule.”
“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. 😊”
“Emma was great a total lifesaver for these two rambunctious doodles. She was a great quick communicator and these two would probably go another 10 miles a day if given the opportunity having a good mile to a mile and a half walk, every other day has been super helpful to me. When I am back in the Truckee Tahoe area, I will be certain to reach out fto her again.”
“We can’t wait to use Lindi again. My dogs aren’t necessarily easy with their leash aggression and lack of social skills and she handled them so well. Not just anyone can walk my dogs and I knew they were safe in her hands. I’ll never hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Lindi!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I am not home for pick ups/drop-offs between 7:15 AM-6:30 PM on those days. However my 3-day weekend gives me plenty of time to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience dog walking, dog and cat sitting. I really enjoy bring people's pets outside for exercise and spending time with them at their home. I currently work full time in Reno so I have availability between 3:00 and 5:00 PM M-F but this can change upon specific request. I am available for over nights M-F as well.

About: I've had an assortment of animals my whole life and am an avid animal lover. I have had dogs my entire adult life. All the way from puppies to seniors with special needs, short term and long term fosters, and rescues with unique personalities. I have also had dogs that needed surgical procedures and rehab so I know how to take care of animals who need physical therapy and/or extra special attention. I am known in my circles as the dog whisper and am on all of my friends emergency contact for anything that they need advice with. I believe in building a bond of trust and doing positive reinforcement training techniques with animals and humans alike. Pet and house sitting is my main gig. Which means that I have an open schedule and am available to help out with your fur babies. I would love to go to the beach, hike the trails and go on local adventures with your doggie(s)! Or I'll bring a stack of books and hang out with your kitty. Every animal and environment has their own unique set of needs. I look forward to developing a bond with your fur baby and getting to know what they want and need from me in order to make sure their physical, environmental and mental needs are being fulfilled.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a Beagle (Billy) from puppyhood and proudly attended dog training classes with him (Billy and I both learned alot !) I've also had the joy of rescuing Summer, a gorgeous ex-show dog Golden Retriever, who was by my side for 13 years. After that was Bammer, an Alaskan Husky Lab mix. He was my adventure buddy, and always kept me on my toes! Besides my own dogs, I've had lots of experience caring for my friends' dogs while they are travelling, so have been able to adapt to all kinds of personalities, temperaments and levels of energy. The silver lining is that I currently have no pets of my own, which means your dog will get all the love, attention, belly rubs, walks, playtime, and couch cuddles they can handle. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer, a pro napper, or somewhere in between, they'll be treated like part of the familly. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my goal is simple: to make sure they're happy, safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you're away. 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing for plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I also love getting outside for neighborhood walks, so your pup will get lots of fresh air, exercise, and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks, and dogs are welcome inside the home as part of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.

Another Bonus- my fur baby never really got along with males but somehow Breanna's partner made a bond with Ramu which is VERY RARE. will defffffo be booking again”
“Christina was our little pup Shazam’s very first sitter over a decade ago during the dogvaycay.com days but when it transitioned to Rover, we couldn’t find her until just recently. So happy to have found her again and our now senior little guy Shazam still loved his time with her after all these years!”
“Shannon and David were a delight to work with; prompt with availability, clear and responsive in communication, and so full of care and attention when watching Willa. For this past trip, I (the primary owner) was out of service and needed to connect Shannon and David with my partner. They were willing to accommodate this secondary contact. They also went above and beyond in picking Willa up from her previous sitter. All of the communication leading up to the trip made me feel like Willa would be in conscientious care and that proved true. Willa was excited to see me when I picked her up, but she also seemed at home and at ease. I highly recommend Shannon and David!”
“Tim was an excellent with Luna. I went on vacation for 12 days and was very responsive when it came to updates and pictures. Luna looked like she had a great time with all of the outdoor adventures Tim took her on. Most definitely a reliable dog sitter.”
“Aaron and Nicole were flexible, communicative, and based on the photos, my dog seemed to love them! I really appreciate how they walked him on the trails near their home.”
“We continue to use Susan every time we go out of town. We love knowing he is going to be taken care of, and that he gets to spend his days on long hikes playing with Susan and her dogs. Thank you Susan!”
