“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.”
“They took in a big girl even though they didn't usually do large dogs! We appreciated their willingness to give larger dogs a try! They took great care of her! She came back very sleepy, so we know she was getting around! ????”
“second time booking G. It’s always scary leaving your fur babies somewhere but he handled her so well & sent lots of updates ! Always does ! she got comfortable super quick an took on lots of walks, 10/10 recommended him!”
“Gina and Erik were fantastic. I appreciate how they sent me pictures and updates of Nori. Love seeing that my dog is enjoying her time and well taken care of. I can tell she had a great time because she definitely did not want to leave. Would definitely book again whenever im in the area.”
“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”
“Tim took such great care of our dog Jack and made sure to take him on lots of adventures. He was really good about sending multiple updates and pictures, which we loved! He was also really responsive and flexible when we had to pick up our dog 30 minutes late. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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! 🐾”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“Jade & Dain were GREAT! Met us outside as soon as we arrived and made our dog feel comfortable and happy from the start. Sent us plenty of pictures with updates. Very, very highly recommended and we would and will definitely use them again”
“Leilah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Melissa is the best! Great communication and very dog friendly environment. This was my first time ever leaving Gus overnight & she went above and beyond to make sure he felt right at home. He and Cody were instant BFFs & it’s great to know he has someone who makes him feel so safe and comfortable when I am not able to be with him.”
“Adam was great! I needed a last minute place for my Boston terrier and Adam responded almost right away. He took my dog on a ride, walk and got to lounge and play for a couple days. Koa had just as much of a great vacation as us! I received pics of his little adventures and Adam communicated great. Will be booking again next time we go to Tahoe and need a place for our pup.”
“Gina was a great pet sitter. My dog Trixie had full run of the house. I was happy that they are home most all day. The trips to the dog park was an added bonus. Trixie can home happy and tired! We will be back. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Our 2 Chocolate labs stayed with Lisa and her family for 3 days. She sent us updates and pictures which allowed us to enjoy our weekend away. The girls were happy and cared for and we will definitely leave them with her again.”

“Theresa stepped in last minute for my usual sitter and Grace warmed up to her quickly. Great updates and photos and I had a happy kittie upon my return. Definitely recommend!”
“Cynthia is the best!! We love having her hang out with our cat when we go on overnight trips. She made our cat feel comfortable to play and hang out after meeting her for the first time. Thanks 😊”
“Payson is an absolute gem! She is so caring, loving and attentive with our dog. You can clearly tell she loves dogs and all animals really. She provided lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciate. She even went above and beyond when our dog had an accident in the house too. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away, especially with her background in vet care. We’re so glad we found Payson to help take care of our dog when we’re away!”
“Anika was amazing with our dog! She gave her plenty of loves and attention, and was very good about sending us updates and photos. Always on time and dependable. Our pup was very comfortable with Anika and well cared for.”
“I had tough time finding cat seaters on Rover, so when I saw Marian’s profile with her cats pictures, I knew it would be a great match! My three cats loved her! They wait for her to come everyday! Including my 22 year old Willie! She usually gets sick when I am gone but this time she got so much attention from Marian that she didn’t! Winter and Tommy, my two boy also got so much fun with her! They did not hide, amd were always around for the time with Marian! Thank you so much Marian, and definately I will book with you again!”
About: I am very comfortable with our feline friends and love a good kitty cuddle, if your kitty is so inclined, or will leave your skittish friend be if he/she is not so into socializing! I am available for any type of visit your cat may need and can also take your kitty into my home for longer stays. IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CAT STAYS; PLEASE READ: Cat stays are limited to seven days. I do not take cats in my home under the age of 1 year. Litter box MUST be hooded. I do not accept litter boxes that are basic without a cover and upon arrival, I will turn you away if litter box is unacceptable. Please be advised, cats in my home must have general good home behavior. I understand that "cats will be cats", but if your cat is used to regularly climbing on surfaces where food is prepared, i.e., counter tops and tables, and if your cat is a heavy furniture scratcher, I would be happy to visit your kitty at your home and take care of him/her there.
“Mairead was so great and I felt totally comfortable leaving our kitten, Pebble, in her care. She was quick with communication, very nice and friendly, and it seems like Pebble had a great time with her. I really appreciated the status updates and pictures each visit! We will definitely ask Mairead to be our sitter again.”
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.
“Karyna was great! She just dropped in on my two cats for a week and let me know how the house was doing too! Would love to rebook for my next trip out of town! Sent cute pictures and I trusted her!”
“Denise was fantastic! She was prompt, babied my cats, dealt with refilling the automatic feeders, and sent great photos every day (including of our reclusive outdoor cat). Our house looked great when we got home. Excellent experience!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for a long long time! If you have any extra animals, i’m good with any kind! If you have plants tha need watering, i’m a plant lady so i’ll be sure to take good care of those too! Let me know if you need help! I’m also a babysitter/preschool teacher if you need childcare.
About: I adopted my very own cat about 3 years ago so I am a certified cat caregiver. He is now living with his fun aunt right now and no longer with me so I hope to take care of some cats as a piece of me is gone!
“Rachel did a great job watching my cat Spike, she even cleaned up a plant he knocked over on day one! It was so nice to know Spike was in good hands while we were away, Rachel always checked in and sent photos. I would definitely have her watch Spike again!”
“Katelyn is amazing! She goes above & beyond to make sure your fur babies are well cared for while you’re away. She’s given my family such peace of mind with photo updates, staying in touch, quick responses, & her schedule flexibility. I highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your furry family!”
“Melanie was a wonderful dog walker/drop-in visitor for our Labrador, Bruno! She was prompt and asked thorough questions prior to her visit to assure Bruno had a a great day! We really appreciate her TLC and will definitely reach out again next time we’re in Tahoe!! 🤎🐾”
“Alyssa was SO great with the kitties. She was very attentive, responsible, and reliable and she was excellent at communicating through the app. I saw on my Ring that my boys eagerly waited at the door when they heard her car pull in. We will definitely use Alyssa again if we need a sitter in the future & we will recommend her to our friends.😁”

“Patty & Randy were perfect dog sitters for Beckham. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Beckham is usually a little shy, but he adapted quickly to their beautiful environment and their other three small dogs. We look forward to using their services again. It was a comfort to know he was in loving hands.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life- from cats and dogs, to hedgehogs and birds.

I am comfortable with dog walking, and any activity with pets of all ages. As an owner of pets myself, I know what makes a happy pet and am available for walks or sitting! I currently do feeding visits and walks for my friend’s pets while they’re away and am looking to expand to do it more often. I am new to the area and have yet to find a full time job so my schedule is very flexible for pet care at any time!

I live in a friendly neighborhood with a small back patio and enjoy walks through town or on my walking trail behind my house! I have a lot of experience walking my own dogs throughout my life and feel comfortable with any level of care they may need.

About: I have had dogs 🐕 n my life since a child either my own or cared for my friends dogs. They will always be a necessary part of my life.

I’m a Notary Signing Agent as well. I live alone in a single family home with a fenced yard and a doggie door. My routine is taking walks in the morning usually after breakfast.
“I cannot recommend Melissa more highly! As a first time puppy owner and Rover user we were very nervous to leave our girl! Upon meeting her and seeing her home, I knew Izzy was in good hands. She kept us updated through out the day and even sent pics. She made our last day in Tahoe a great one! I only wish we had found her sooner. We will ? be using Melissa next summer when we come back to Tahoe.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was less than 10 years old, and have had my current dog Sandy for about 6 years. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds- puppies to seniors, healthy to serious health concerns, I’ve done it all! I am a work from home teacher, so even during the weekday I am home for the majority of the day. My dog Sandy and I usually spend the day playing in the backyard, relaxing on the couch, or playing with her toys. My work schedule is not demanding, and I have summers off, so I have all the time to spend with your pups. I live in a 2 story duplex with just myself, my 10 year old friendly dog Sandy, and my fiance Austin (who also loves dogs!). The backyard is fenced and is shared by the other family in the duplex. Sandy usually roams free in the home, but we can crate in the home if necessary.

We were visiting from out of town, but we come to the area quarterly and will absolutely be using Teresa again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Wow! What a great experience we had with Adam and Lauren. It was way above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t say enough about their generosity and service. When we told Adam that we are having our anniversary, he made himself more available and making our trip more memorable. We highly recommend their service. We really like the way how Adam meets up first with our dog, and his knowledge about dog behavior and needs. The walks he takes our dog on were breathtaking views. You can see that they really love animals. So now, we have found our dog sitter for our dog, Rocky. So if you’re heading to South Lake Tahoe, and you need a dog sitter, we highly recommend Adam and Lauren.”

About: As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures! Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care. When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.

“Mindy is incredible!! She is reliable, kind, patient, and so much more. She loves our dog and he loves her. Mindy takes our boy on fun adventures and perfectly wears him out.

“Susan is great! My dog took to her right away. Susan has great energy and my dog wags her tail every time she arrives. Vixen comes home happy and tired from a good walk. I am so pleased to have a helper to keep Vixen fit and happy.”
About: I am a veterinary nurse with 4 years of experience and worked in vet med for 10+ years. I am skilled in giving medications, CPR, animal behavior and basic animal care.

About: Hi! I am a full time Gardnerville resident and would love to meet your furry friend. I am experienced with senior dogs and am very patient with our older friends who need a little more patience and tlc. But I also love a rambunctious youngster and would love to take your little one on fun hikes, walks or just a leisurely stroll around your neighborhood. I am available for walk visits, feeding visits or any visit your pet may need, even if it's just some love and a belly rub. I will also take small dogs into my home for overnight stays provided they are crate trained. I am available seven days a week. I work 3 mornings out of the home, but am only gone for approximately 2 hours. My husband is home most of those times and can look after your little one while I am gone in case any issues were to arise during my absence. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your bestie to run around and enjoy the outdoors. There are no other pets in my home and if I am watching your pet, he/she will be the only animal in my home during that time. If a pet is staying overnight, they will need to be crated. I do not allow pets to sleep in my bed, but they can sleep in the bedroom with me and my husband if that makes them more comfortable.

About: Aside from having pets all my life, I worked in a vet office as a Registered Vet Tech for 8 years until deciding to be a stay at home mom with my two children. We currently have two dogs of our own that are very social and friendly “Betty” the lab and “June” the Boston/Pug. We are stay at home, homeschooling family that will be able to offer your pet lots of love, kindness, play time, and snuggles. All pets will be given a predictable routine and walks if desired. Since I’m a stay at home mom, I am always there to care for your pets. They will be given potty breaks at a minimum of every 2 hours. I have a fenced yard, lots of green grass and shade to stretch those legs and burn energy. My two playful dogs love the company and are always willing to make new friends. For cats, I do prefer to kennel them but they will have lots of opportunities to come out for play and affection. I feel this is the safest option for them. All pets are kept indoors except for play and potty time (cats are always kept indoors).

About: Hi I’m Mika! (: Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was little. I Got my first cat when I was 5yrs old and he lived for 21 years. Throughout those years I gained much knowledge about cats along with senior age cats. Since then I have had many different species of animals such as dogs, cats, fish, reptiles etc. I have engaged in rescuing and returning animals back to their owners. I also worked for and became the manager of Pet Supplies Plus in CA. Throughout that time I took many courses with animal food, regular care and much hands on experiences with different breeds and ages of animals. When I moved to Neavda I became a ranch hand and worked with horses, Turkeys, chickens ducks and dogs but now I am part time working as a Cardiac Sonographer which is why my days may vary because it’s not a set schedule. But my schedule is very flexible (: Hikes and outdoor adventures are a big part of my life so if your pet enjoys that too I would love to have them along. I am able to take care of a wide variety of animal species so just reach out and let’s see what we can get going that works best for you (: Every week is different due to my schedule not being a set one but very easy to accommodate animal needs and other’s schedules or possible last minute needs. The pet care that is provided through my services are based on each individual pets needs. If they’re any special request I am are more then willing to try and accommodate. As I get to know them I can also base their needs as they’re away from their owners. Such as extra play time or walks to keep them at ease.

My cat had kittens when I was in 2nd grade and since then I have loved all aspects of pet care and find it extremely rewarding.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I'm experienced with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. We currently have one mellow rescue pitty, a chihuahua and two cats in our home. I strongly believe in the pack leader philosophy on dog behavior, and that lack of exercise is the number one cause of unwanted behavior. Your dog will get plenty of love and exercise here! I am happy to help with basic obedience (loose leash walking, thresholds, recall, sit, stay and place) I’m an RN but I only take new dogs when I’m not working at the hospital so I can be with them all day long. Safety is our number one priority. We always introduce dogs on neutral territory with a structured walk, and supervise all play time. We have a fenced backyard and can separate with crates/kennels if needed.
About: I grew up in a rural area of Southern California and had animals my entire life. From rabbits to chickens, cats, dogs and livestock we had them all. I rescued my dog Molly about 12 years ago and she's my partner in crime. I am a personal trainer and highly active, outdoorsy person. Molly is a boston terrier mix and requires at least an hour of exercise each day. You'll see me walking, running or biking Molly along our local trails everyday and your dog can join us! If your dog requires substantial exercise we're the sitters for you. Because I work only several hours at a time as a personal trainer, I am in and out of the house often during the weekdays, so if you're looking for an alternate to doggie daycare while you're at work we could be a great fit. I have a flexible work schedule with large blocks of time free in the middle of the day, which is a perfect time to give your pup a walk break!

“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.”
“second time booking G. It’s always scary leaving your fur babies somewhere but he handled her so well & sent lots of updates ! Always does ! she got comfortable super quick an took on lots of walks, 10/10 recommended him!”
“Gina and Erik were fantastic. I appreciate how they sent me pictures and updates of Nori. Love seeing that my dog is enjoying her time and well taken care of. I can tell she had a great time because she definitely did not want to leave. Would definitely book again whenever im in the area.”
“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”
“Tim took such great care of our dog Jack and made sure to take him on lots of adventures. He was really good about sending multiple updates and pictures, which we loved! He was also really responsive and flexible when we had to pick up our dog 30 minutes late. Highly recommend!”
“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! 🐾”
“Teresa was wonderful to work with and clearly took great care of my dog over the five days I had her boarded. She sent adorable photos of her curled up and cozy on the couch — it’s clear she was a happy pup (and spoiled)! I’d definitely book with Teresa again.”
“Leilah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Adam was great! I needed a last minute place for my Boston terrier and Adam responded almost right away. He took my dog on a ride, walk and got to lounge and play for a couple days. Koa had just as much of a great vacation as us! I received pics of his little adventures and Adam communicated great. Will be booking again next time we go to Tahoe and need a place for our pup.”
“Gina was a great pet sitter. My dog Trixie had full run of the house. I was happy that they are home most all day. The trips to the dog park was an added bonus. Trixie can home happy and tired! We will be back. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Our 2 Chocolate labs stayed with Lisa and her family for 3 days. She sent us updates and pictures which allowed us to enjoy our weekend away. The girls were happy and cared for and we will definitely leave them with her again.”
“Melissa watched our pup while we stayed in a non-dog-friendly house on our first trip to Tahoe. She was responsive, friendly, and able to accommodate us at the last minute when our other sitter canceled. I always feel guilty leaving Frankie with a sitter he doesn't know. But Melissa sent us lots of photos and updates; you could tell Frank was happy and comfortable the whole time. On top of everything, she even sent us home with a cute framed photo of Frankie that we have on our mantel! HIGHLY recommend Melissa - especially for dog owners looking for a guilt-free weekend trip :) We'll definitely be reaching out whenever we're in Tahoe!”
About: I am a dog mommy of a medium 14 year old pit mix, Roxy. I love all dogs and have family with everything from a Chihuahua (with no teeth) to a dopey Great Dane named after prince George. I have babysat all of their dogs and love to play outside with them. I like to run and hike with my dogs and we like to be silly together. She is getting older (14 years old) so she is not as active as she once was. I'm an educator, so my own pup is used to me being gone during the day, but because of holidays and summers I'm also free frequently. My own dog in the past struggled with stubborness and reactivity, so I know how to work with stubborn dogs and easy going dogs of all sorts. I have also worked with geriatric dogs and know what a struggle it can be when dogs are getting into old age. As an educator I work Monday through Friday (most weeks) during the day, and am home evenings, but have extensive availability weekends and holidays. My schedule can be somewhat flexible I am available to come to your home if your dog needs some company or can have your pup at my place. I also have transportation for taking your pet to the beach, river, or parks. I am happy to run, walk, or just hang out with your pets.
“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!🩷”
