“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 !!”
“Patty and Randy provided an excellent boarding experience for our dog Cookie! We had no hesitations from the moment we dropped Cookie off and saw how excited she was to see Patty and Randy's dogs who she had met the week before for a meet and greet. During Cookie's stay we were so happy to receive videos and pictures which confirmed that she was having a great time. Patty also reached out during Cookie's stay to ask us some questions to ensure she understood Cookie's habits and needs. We are so happy to have found Patty and Randy to board Cookie and thank them, BellaMae, Bizu, and Bindi Lou for the time, attention, and fun play they provided Cookie to ensure she felt secure, relaxed, and happy during her visit. It is so appreciated!!”
“Gabriel is super amazing! Quick to respond. Super flexible for our needs (thank you again!) and a gentleman above all. This was our first more than a walk with another person, and Charlie just completely trusted G without a doubt. Thank you again, def will be booking again with you.”
“Stephanie took excellent care of our dog! She was super communicative, sent us photos, kept us updated on how he was and what he doing. Our dog has some medical issues and she handled it so professionally. I will definitely have her take care of our dog again!”

“Melissa was just great - she was super flexible with pick up and drop off, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and even printed a photo for us to take home. Her dog, Obi, is super sweet and I’m sure made our dog feel at home! I would definitely book with Melissa again!”
About: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with small or medium size dogs. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether that means long walks in high meadows, playtime, or simply keeping them. I am currently working full-time from home, but I am not in scheduled meetings all day and can adjust my schedule to play, walk, or visit your pets. I have a large, fenced deck where your pet can enjoy sunbathing and fresh air. This space acts as an extension of our home, ensuring your pet's safety.
“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.”
“Jeremy watched our corgi for 11 days and it was great. We got lots of cute pictures and video, at least one a day and it gave us a little daily bright spot while traveling. We could tell our corgi was having a great time. Jeremy also made it very easy when it came to dropping off and picking up at the end of the trip. There was convinient parking and no through traffic so it was a really smooth operation. We'd absolutely board our corgi with Jeremy again and will be recommending him in the future.”
“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!”
“Adam and Lauren were amazing with my hyper husky. They have a very nice and open space for doggos to run around in the back yard. They were both very welcoming and understanding of different dog behaviors. Very passionate about pets ands willing to continue learning more about particular behaviors. I will definitely be contacting them if we ever head back into the area. Much love”
“Highly recommended!! 🌟 Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of Henry, I wasn't sure if he'd want to come home! 🤣 We loved the daily photo updates of their out & about adventures or their indoor cozy seshs. Henry looked so happy & relaxed. Shout out to Lauren's good friend Charmaine who Henry also had the pleasure of hanging out with! Lauren, you are now on speed dial for pet sitting! 😉 Thank you so much for everything! Happy Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎄🎆 pS... Henry says he misses you both! 🐕”
“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!”
“Lara was very quick to respond and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We were very fortunate that Lara was available during Thanksgiving. Her place was very clean and well maintained. She was sending pictures of our pet periodically and took him on walks. Overall our pet was very happy We will certainly enlist her help next time we visit Tahoe.”
“Luna had a great stay with Armand! She was very comfortable there and got out on plenty of walks. Armand was great to work with and very communicative! Already planning Luna’s next stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”
“emily was amazing! our nervous pup walked right into her house and gave her little hand kisses which is always a great sign. emily was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. she wanted to keep the pups on the same routine that they have at home which was so sweet. would book with her again when we’re back in the tahoe area.”

About: Hey dog owners! Been doing Rover since 2019 and I absolutely LOVE it! My Mom was a veterinarian and my Dad was a police k9 handler/trainer (both now retired), so I’ve been in the doggy/animal realm my entire life. I’ve been volunteering at shelters all around the country since 2005 with most recently weekend-fostering shelter dogs providing training, companionship, and fun outside the shelter environment. I worked as the sole Summer handler at a sled dog kennel (30 dogs) in Denali Alaska and have 2 years experience in the Veterinary assistant world. As you can see it's a big part of my life! I'm not able to have a dog of my own at present, so I resort to getting my four legged buddy fix through yours! It's more fun for me than a job. Plus I'm ALWAYS learning something new with every client and animal. As far as schedule goes, I work in Bridgeport, CA M-F 0800 to 1630 with weekends off and live in Wellington, NV. I work in office, so will not be able to provide care during that 8hr time (plus drive time to your place). I'm available 100% on weekends. When I'm in your home I treat your dog like they're mine (and I treat my own dogs better than most people treat their children). Dog is never off leash when outside the home (even if trained and perfect). Dog is ALWAYS supervised in a fenced in yard. I try to keep feeding and outdoor times consistent with what the client does when normally home. When walking around the neighborhood I move off trail/road if another dog/person approaches as a precaution. I create a medication checklist for the duration of the stay to ensure everything is covered and nothing is forgotten. I'm incredibly thorough and everything will be gone over in a meet and greet prior to the stay (mandatory).
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. I am currently working full time so drops ins/walks would be the best for my schedule. I will never rush a drop in and provide excellent care. I treat every pet like my own. I am very serious about quality animal care and it is important to me that you feel safe leaving your most precious part of your family in my hands.
“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!”
“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 had cats in my life since I was a small child, so caring for them feels second nature to me. I understand how unique every cat’s personality is—from the shy ones who need patience to the social butterflies who love constant attention. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for animals and my professional background as a personal assistant, which makes me highly reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive. I’m comfortable with senior cats, administering medications, and keeping routines consistent so your cat feels safe and secure while you’re away. I also don’t mind the less glamorous parts of cat care—like deep-cleaning litter boxes—because I know how much those small details matter to a cat’s comfort. My goal is always to make sure your cat is not just cared for, but truly comfortable and loved.
“I had never used a pet sitting service before and was a little nervous not only to have a stranger watch my pets but have a stranger in my home. I must say that Clinton put me at ease he did a wonderful job and would certainly use him again in the future. He sent me pictures of my pets everyday which made me feel better. Thank you, Clinton!”

About: I have worked in the veterinary field before. I have watched pets for clients for over 7 years. I am an animal lover and love playing with and caring for animals.

“Stephanie took wonderful care of our dog, Benny. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. She even took him on a hike, and it was clear he had a great time. Thanks to her excellent communication and care, we were able to enjoy Lake Tahoe completely worry-free. Highly recommend!”
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 recently had to send my beautiful golden retriever to the Rainbow Bridge after 13 1/2 years. My schedule is flexible as I work on call part time. If I’m away from my home it’s never very long. 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.
“Tim T. is amazing! He got us out of a real bind. We were away from home for a wedding. We found out the day before the wedding that we could not leave our dogs in our hotel room. By some miracle, Tim happened to be available with less than a day notice. He picked up our dogs at the hotel. Usually one of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people. We were nervous but Tim is some sort of dog whisperer! In no time at all, the dogs were in his car and off for a day of fun. They spent the day taking a drive, then a hike, and then relaxing in the lap of luxury at Tim's house. We got photos throughout the day and it was obvious that Tim was the dogs' new favorite person. We were able to enjoy the wedding stress free. Tim returned the dogs to us late at night. It couldn't have been easier. Our only regret is that we live too far away to make Tim our regular sitter. If he's available, don't hesitate! We'd give Tim more stars if we could!”
“Melissa is AMAZING! She treated my dog like her own and I couldn’t be happier with her care! She was super professional and communicative and flexible. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for an amazing time for your pet and peace of mind.”
About: I have owned dogs for the last 10 years, fostered several and helped find happy homes for them. What I am able to give dogs is love, attention, and just being present with them. Even after the dogs got adopted, I remain in contact with them, and we set up play dates! Helped with potty training, and trick training is my favorite. Love to go on hikes, play frisbee and chuck-it! Summertime running through sprinklers, and wintertime running in the snow. I also love Cats! I grew up with cats and just adore them. I work Monday - Friday. Weekends off, which leaves me all weekend to sit, play or board your furry friends. I hike every weekend so other dogs will fit right in. I do set up play dates with friends and their pups as well. I have a nice yard for playing, I can bring your dogs to my house or sit for them at your home. If they board with me, I can crate your pup or not. Plenty of toys, balls, and frisbees. Dog door to backyard if you wish it to be used or can be closed for safety. Gated neighborhood for walking! I would like to have a free "meet and greet" to get to know you and your pets.
“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.”
“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 🤗”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life- from cats and dogs, to hedgehogs and birds. 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. 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 currently have two 4 year old cats in my home but have a good amount of space to be able to keep pets seperated if needed. 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.
“Teeda and her husband did an amazing job taking care of auggie. She was very responsive, communicative, sent numerous pictures throughout the day, and flexible with a change in plans. Auggie loved going with her and came back happy and tired. Will book her again for our next ski trip!”
“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!”

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.

“Its been at least 6 weeks now, and what a tremendous help Susan has been. She is always on time, and my Vixen adores her. I love seeing how far they have walked and how much more energetic Vixen is since we added her walks with Susan. It's a great investment in my dog. So happy with the results.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, crate training, and keeping pets active, happy, and safe. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits, I’m able to make pet care a priority throughout the week. When pets stay in my home, I keep their routine as familiar as possible. I follow their feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, and make time for daily walks and play. I keep a clean, pet-safe space and offer lots of companionship throughout the day. I monitor behavior, offer enrichment activities, and ensure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also send regular photos and updates so owners know their pet is happy and relaxed.
About: Animals have been my passion since childhood, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to working with and helping them. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in kennel and boarding facilities for cats and dogs, horse boarding facilities, and worked at the Humane Society. For the past seven years, I’ve been part of the veterinary field as a veterinary receptionist and assistant. My goal has always been to ensure that every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and loved, and that their owners leave with peace of mind, knowing I’ve made a positive difference in their pet’s life. Having a somewhat flexible schedule allows me to devote sufficient time to supporting you and your pet, enabling travel of up to 50 miles as needed, which also facilitates quality time with your companion. I enjoy collaborating with owners to establish a mutually convenient schedule. In my experience, maintaining a familiar environment, such as the pet's own home and routine, is crucial for minimizing stress and maximizing comfort. To ensure seamless care, I prefer to conduct in-depth consultations with owners to discuss their pets' daily habits, and other essential details. My ultimate objective is to provide top-notch care, ensuring your pet's comfort and happiness while you are away.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for pets — I’ve had animals since I was a kid, and my own elderly chihuahua keeps me tuned in to the love and patience pets need at every stage of life. I’m gentle with seniors, patient with puppies, and treat every animal like family. With my background as a personal assistant, I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to all the little details that keep pets happy and safe. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I care for my own elderly chihuahua every day, so things like walks, feeding, snuggles, and keeping routines are already built into my schedule. I also work as a personal assistant, which means I’m organized, flexible, and used to balancing responsibilities with care and attention. Making time for animals is easy for me because it’s something I truly enjoy and value. I have a flexible schedule and for the most part I can fit into your routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and double-check that doors, gates, and food/medications are handled with care. I take time to create a calm, loving environment so your pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. At my own home, my elderly gal gets free run of the space. She sleeps on the bed, we do walks, treats, and play with her favorite toys (her llama with a unicorn horn), you dog would receive the same treatment. :)
About: As an independent contractor I’m home all day and have lots of free time to watch your pets whenever needed.

When watching other people's animals, I think it's important to respect directions given from the owners who know their pets best, so I can do whatever is needed for each animal's specific needs. Getting out and about is also important, so daily neighborhood walks are also included in your pet’s stay! Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns and I look forward to meeting your pet! I am a remote independent contractor, so I have all day and all evening to ensure your pet has a safe, comfortable, and engaging stay!

“Melissa was just great - she was super flexible with pick up and drop off, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and even printed a photo for us to take home. Her dog, Obi, is super sweet and I’m sure made our dog feel at home! I would definitely book with Melissa again!”
“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.”
“Jeremy watched our corgi for 11 days and it was great. We got lots of cute pictures and video, at least one a day and it gave us a little daily bright spot while traveling. We could tell our corgi was having a great time. Jeremy also made it very easy when it came to dropping off and picking up at the end of the trip. There was convinient parking and no through traffic so it was a really smooth operation. We'd absolutely board our corgi with Jeremy again and will be recommending him in the future.”
“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!”
“Adam and Lauren were amazing with my hyper husky. They have a very nice and open space for doggos to run around in the back yard. They were both very welcoming and understanding of different dog behaviors. Very passionate about pets ands willing to continue learning more about particular behaviors. I will definitely be contacting them if we ever head back into the area. Much love”
“Highly recommended!! 🌟 Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of Henry, I wasn't sure if he'd want to come home! 🤣 We loved the daily photo updates of their out & about adventures or their indoor cozy seshs. Henry looked so happy & relaxed. Shout out to Lauren's good friend Charmaine who Henry also had the pleasure of hanging out with! Lauren, you are now on speed dial for pet sitting! 😉 Thank you so much for everything! Happy Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎄🎆 pS... Henry says he misses you both! 🐕”
“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!”
“Lara was very quick to respond and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We were very fortunate that Lara was available during Thanksgiving. Her place was very clean and well maintained. She was sending pictures of our pet periodically and took him on walks. Overall our pet was very happy We will certainly enlist her help next time we visit Tahoe.”
“Luna had a great stay with Armand! She was very comfortable there and got out on plenty of walks. Armand was great to work with and very communicative! Already planning Luna’s next stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”

“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!”
“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.”
