Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sheridan
“It was very easy to book with Gabriel the day prior to my short trip to Tahoe. He was very responsive and flexible with both pick up and drop off. My 7 mo old puppy stayed for one night. I would book again if I do another quick trip to Tahoe.”
“Patty and Randy were the absolute best! They were so kind and i knew immediately that my dog would be taken care of and loved while I was gone. They kept me updated and were so accommodating with pick up and drop off times! I would recommend them over and over!”
“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 !!”
“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.”
“Tim was so great! Sent awesome pics of the dogs and was great at communicating. So thankful to have found Tim last minute. We were visiting from out of town for a show and needed dog care, found Tim and honestly couldn’t have been happier for it. The dogs had a great time hiking and hanging out. Definitely would recommend Tim!! Thanks again!”
“We absolutely lucked out finding Teeda! We were traveling with our 2 German shepherds in South Lake Tahoe. We wanted to go skiing and not worry about our dogs. We boarded them with Teeda... They ran several miles a day with them and even worked with them on their bad habits!!! It was great to get another point of view with our dogs and have them in great hands! She texted pictures of our dogs having a ball without us having to ask! We enjoyed our vacation and a if reason was Teeda being so proactive in letting us know our dogs were doing great!”
“Gina was wonderful! Penny took to her immediately, she obviously gave lots of love and took her for walks sent me pictures!!! Which I wasn't expecting. She's a keeper loves her pets. Marian Coe”
“Super sweet person and communicative! Sitters husband even carried my 50lb pet down the stairs rather than risk a fall on hardwoods with his bad hips. Calvin seemed well adjusted at pick up!”
“Melissa was awesome and we will rebook. Our Annie enjoyed neighborhood walks, hikes to lakes and going to the beach. She got plenty of love and exercise. Melissa sent pictures daily so we could see how Annie was doing. Thank you Melissa!!!! 🐾❣️”
“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!”
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”
“Teresa was an amazing dog sitter and took great care of our dog, Stacy, while we traveled for work for 3 nights. She was very accommodating with our last minute request and flexible with the drop off and pick up times. She had great communication, administered medicine and took Stacy on multiple walks and hikes. I would not hesitate to recommend or to rebook a dog care service with Teresa.”
“Choi was a fantastic sitter for our puppy! She took him on several walks, kept us well informed and took lots of photos for us. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout his overnight stay under her care!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gina and her husband were life savers. Our dog sitter fell through before a big holiday trip and they were able to take our pup with short notice. He seemed at home right away and continued to be having a great time during the updates we received while we were gone. We would definitely use them again and have no complaints at all!”

About: My household has had cats for 7 years and going, at one point having 4 cats. I love cats and am experienced with taking care of them. I have taken care of other people’s cats for 4 years. I have watched cats that are and aren’t aloud to go outside.
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.
About: My family has had cats as pets from before I was born. I have 2 cats myself. One is named Kk and the other is named Tommy, whom is special needs. He had a thrombosis that caused one of his legs to lose circulation. The vets answer for me was I needed to put him down. I cried for a whole weekend and then started wondering if there were other options. Using my psychic abilities I came up with amputation. When I asked if they could amputate his leg they immediately said yes! And now I have a 3 legged cat. I love him so much and have gone to the ends of the earth for all my pets. Kk is my fat princess. She is beautiful and so soft. She is my daughters emotional support animal but she has gone away to college so I got to keep her. She loves me so much, she stares into my soul and purs and drools on an everyday basis lol.
“Brenna’s awesome! She put us at ease for our last minute trip. Had a somewhat difficult situation with two fluffs and insulin and she made it seem easy-peasy. Can’t recommend enough. Super responsive and responsible! Thank you Brenna : )”
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.
“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.😁”
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.
“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!! 🤎🐾”
“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sheridan
“Lisa was the sweetest and Max loved her! She has an incredible HUGE fenced yard and Max was so happy that he didn’t want to leave! Lisa and Jason made Max feel so comfortable and ultimately me so comfortable leaving Max for the day. I will definitely have them watch him again when I’m in town in the future. 5 ++ stars for sure!”
“Andrea and Bill are amazing! So sweet with our dog, they have a beautiful home and yard and my dog came back very happy. Would highly recommend! My only regret is that they don’t live closer to me 🤗”
“Stephanie was very flexible with drop off and pick up times she updated me with a lot of photos which so nice she always responded to my messages in a timely manner I will definitely recommend her”
“Tim was AMAZING. He accepted a very last minute request to entertain Ruba while I was working. He took her on adventures and kept me in the loop the entire time. She enjoyed it so much, we booked again the next day. Fantastic communication, flexibility and pet friendship.”
“Melissa was very responsive with our short notice request for daycare. I felt at ease leaving our pup, Nala, with her as soon as I arrived and her kind and calm demeanor immediately made Nala feel right at home. Nala was happy and calm when we picked her up later that day. We’ll definitely be reaching back out in the future! Thanks Melissa!”
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.
“Teeda is amazing!! If she is available during the times you need for your pet, book her! She is amazing! Literally felt like family watching our 2 dogs, I felt so confident leaving them with her and she was so kind and accommodating with our needs and during our family vacation. I can’t say good enough things about her! We will book again if we are in town!”
“Adam checked off all of my boxes and more. He made Sunny feel safe and clearly had safety in mind. He took Sunny on a walk, fed him, and kept him busy and engaged all day. As soon as we got in the car, Sunny fell asleep from all the fun. At first Sunny was a little scared, but by the end of the visit I could tell Adam really cared for him. I would definitely rebook with him when I’m in Tahoe again!”
“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 :)”
About: Been around dogs my whole life. Fast forward to when I went off to college, since 2014 I’ve been dog sitting whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays with all types of dogs. Through my own dog’s experience , I’ve cultivated a caring, dependable, attentive way with animals that my friends have put full trust in and know their pets are taken care of worry free when they’re with me. So I’ve decided to expand my experience to rover. Feel free to reach out with a questions you may have and I look forward to providing a safe and fun experience for your pup(s). Fortunately, My work allows for me to lots of free time throughout the week so that I’m able care for fur babies all day. I have a fully fenced yard , security cameras set up and auto locking doors to keep you fur baby happy and safe while they are cared for by me. I’m home crates available too.
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”

“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. Even our cat who is hesitant to trust people seems to really like her. It is always such a relief to know that our animals are being cared for by someone so incredible while we are away.”

About: I have had a pet sitting business since the age of 12 and am now 50. I love animals and am kind of a self proclaimed animal psychic. I can feel their emotions, wants and needs. I have even diagnosed sick pets before they had visited a vet to confirm my guesses. All this to say I am very in tune with animals as they are with me. I would be an excellent choice to take care of your fur-babies. Hi there I look forward to helping you and your animal family. I am currently working from home which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, and frequent potty breaks.I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, a nd loved while you're away. I am happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide regular exercise, and send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client's home, I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and well cared for.
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.
“Sandra was wonderful with my two girls! She was easygoing during our meet-and-greet and incredibly flexible when a last-minute time change came up. I felt completely at ease, and I’ll definitely be hiring Sandra again in the future.”

I will only not be available June 8-19, and after mid August my availability will change. I have a fenced yard, and one friendly, smallish dog. I live on a ranch, so beyond the dance there is plenty of space for the dog to run around if they are okay off leash. I also have one cat, so it is preferable that your pet is cat friendly, but if not I may be also to make it work.
About: Hi there! My name is Haley! I am a wife and mother and have been a long time animal lover since I was a little girl. I have always had the biggest passion for animals, before I even understood what that meant! I have pet-sat previously and I haven't met a dog that I haven't had an incredible connection with! I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 year old son, who also LOVES dogs! We spend so much of our time outside, going on walks and getting energy out at the park - I would love to be your Pet Sitter and help out any way that I can! Our schedule is pretty consistent! In my house, we are either going for a walk when it's cool outside, playing in our fenced backyard with sprinklers and a doggy pool, or playing at the park and getting all of our energy out - or all of the above in one day! Being outside is our jam! I treat all animals with massive love and respect, they will get all of the attention they need in my care! The safety and happiness of your dog will be my #1 priority!
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.
“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’m an experienced pet sitter and have cared for both dogs and cats in my home in Poland. I’m now living in South Lake Tahoe and would be happy to spend time with your dog. The photo shows some of the wonderful animals I’ve had the pleasure of looking after. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule time before and after work, as well as on weekends, to give pets the attention, exercise, and affection they need.

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! I have a fully fenced in yard and my dog wanders in and outdoors throughout the day. I visit your home to take your pup out for exercise wherever she feels most comfortable.
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: I’ve had my dog for the last four years and understand the stress of leaving your animal with someone else, I can assure you that I will take very good care of your pet and that they will return happy and well played with!

“It was very easy to book with Gabriel the day prior to my short trip to Tahoe. He was very responsive and flexible with both pick up and drop off. My 7 mo old puppy stayed for one night. I would book again if I do another quick trip to Tahoe.”
“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 was so great! Sent awesome pics of the dogs and was great at communicating. So thankful to have found Tim last minute. We were visiting from out of town for a show and needed dog care, found Tim and honestly couldn’t have been happier for it. The dogs had a great time hiking and hanging out. Definitely would recommend Tim!! Thanks again!”
“We absolutely lucked out finding Teeda! We were traveling with our 2 German shepherds in South Lake Tahoe. We wanted to go skiing and not worry about our dogs. We boarded them with Teeda... They ran several miles a day with them and even worked with them on their bad habits!!! It was great to get another point of view with our dogs and have them in great hands! She texted pictures of our dogs having a ball without us having to ask! We enjoyed our vacation and a if reason was Teeda being so proactive in letting us know our dogs were doing great!”
“Gina was wonderful! Penny took to her immediately, she obviously gave lots of love and took her for walks sent me pictures!!! Which I wasn't expecting. She's a keeper loves her pets. Marian Coe”
“Super sweet person and communicative! Sitters husband even carried my 50lb pet down the stairs rather than risk a fall on hardwoods with his bad hips. Calvin seemed well adjusted at pick up!”
“Melissa was awesome and we will rebook. Our Annie enjoyed neighborhood walks, hikes to lakes and going to the beach. She got plenty of love and exercise. Melissa sent pictures daily so we could see how Annie was doing. Thank you Melissa!!!! 🐾❣️”
“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!”
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”
“Teresa was an amazing dog sitter and took great care of our dog, Stacy, while we traveled for work for 3 nights. She was very accommodating with our last minute request and flexible with the drop off and pick up times. She had great communication, administered medicine and took Stacy on multiple walks and hikes. I would not hesitate to recommend or to rebook a dog care service with Teresa.”
“Choi was a fantastic sitter for our puppy! She took him on several walks, kept us well informed and took lots of photos for us. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout his overnight stay under her care!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gina and her husband were life savers. Our dog sitter fell through before a big holiday trip and they were able to take our pup with short notice. He seemed at home right away and continued to be having a great time during the updates we received while we were gone. We would definitely use them again and have no complaints at all!”
“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.”
“My boys had a great time with Jessica. She spoiled them with fun walks, playtime outside and comfy rests in the couch lol. She sent photos to let me know they were having fun and it was so comforting to know they were in loving care. We were able to enjoy our night out without guilt or worry. Absolutely recommend 100%! One of the best River sitters we’ve had. Also a very convenient location when visiting the South Lake Tahoe area. If we get back this way, we will use her again. Five woods from Grizzly and Bear!”
