“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.”

“Adam and Lauren are wonderful and they have a great space for Loki - he loves them!! I am especially grateful for their availability and care of him when I am away :-)”


“Anton was amazing. Not only did he take care of my free small for kids. I’m short notice but he kept me updated and let me know how sweet they all were. Even better when the fur kids got home they were so excited to be around him and definitely fell in love. There were a few little whimpers once they saw him leave. Anton is definitely a repeat sitter and has gained my trust very rapidly. Thank you very much for taking care of my little fur family members.”

“Tim was wonderful. He watched my pup for four nights and sent tons of photos each day. It was so calming to know she was well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks Tim!”

“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!”

“Jennifer took great loving care of Boots! She took him on hikes, to the dog park, and walking downtown. I will definitely have Jennifer watch Boots the next time I’m in South Lake! Thank you, Jennifer!!!”

“Kate is such a kind and sweet carer. Her house has an adventurous, fun backyard and is lovely, welcoming and neat inside. Our dog had so much fun with her three dogs. Kate sent us so many videos and photos. Thank you Kate!!”

“I'm so glad I found Gina. We wanted to make a short weekend getaway to Tahoe with our kids but we didn't want to leave our pup back home. Knowing we were still close by if needed gave us peace of mind and we had a great time knowing that our pup was safe and having fun. Gina was lovely and quick to respond to my request. We're already looking forward to returning and now I know who to reach out to.”

“We keep booking Kelly as she is wonderful to both of our dogs. She sends lots of pics, lots of updates and very flexible and accommodating. She takes them for hikes, makes sure they each get play time. The dogs love her.”
“Alexis was so sweet with the dogs. They stayed at her home and she kept them entertained and feeling safe and loved. One of my dogs gets anxious so she gave her toys and played soothing music. It was a great experience to leave them with her over the Holidays!”
“Ashley was so great helping us last minute when we had travel cancellations! Her flexibility was so so appreciated. Leo had a blast and was exhausted for 2 days after returning home! I’d look to Ashley again for sure!”

“Joanne took care of my cat Oliver for 10 days while I was on vacation. She made 2 pre-visits beforehand and let me know how Oliver was doing during my absence. After much patience she got him to come out while she was visiting to feed him, as he is shy around strangers. Joanne lives near me and I appreciated the convenience of being able to leave Oliver in my house rather than a boarding facility.”

I’ve been caring for friends/family members animals for over 10 years and enjoy every bit of it. I am an ambitious travel nurse back for the summer. I am working with my family’s excavation business until fall/winter. Don’t hesitate to message me. Thank you! I am able to take pets out. In good physical condition to walk your pet many miles. Willing to discuss further services as needed. I have other socialized dogs at home if you are wanting your pet to be socialized as well.
“Very kind and took care of my cat and even fish for me while I was gone perfectly! I really appreciated the picture updates as well. Next time I need a pet sitter, I'd definitely go with Maroan!”


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: Ive had dogs all my life and I've cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and ages. My dog Jax is a testament to the quality of love and care I provide. I am currently unemployed so pet care and personal health are my top priorities. I try to do at least one dog related activity daily. I live in a very quiet and dog friendly neighborhood with a great yard for visitors. My dog Jax is an 8 year old Lab mix with the perfect temperament, he welcomes every guest into our home with warmth.
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁

About: I’ve lived with a variety of cats of different ages, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with female cats in heat, newborn kittens, and cats with medical needs. A favorite experience of mine was fostering and finding homes for 5 tiny kittens from a local shelter in 2022. I love getting to know each new cat I meet and giving them the best care possible.

“Our pup, Nala, is so excited when we pull up to Melissa’s house and can’t wait to see her and her sweet dog, Obi. I know Nala is in great hands and we get lots of updates and quick responses from Melissa. We won’t hesitate to bring Nala back for sitting in the future. Thanks Melissa!”

“Steph was excellent with Milo, when we dropped him off on Sunday (2nd day) Milo couldn’t stop wagging his tail. She also has 2 dogs who gave Milo great company when she took him out on a hike. I would highly recommend Steph.”

“Tim was amazing! I could tell my big boy was happy and confident around him! Tim took him on a hike and kept him busy and send me a lot of beautiful pictures! I loved his service! Thank you Tim!”

“Picking Adam and Lauren was a great decision. They entertained my energetic dog while we were busy and i got pictures of the fun things she did. Getting in touch with Adam was super easy and they are super helpful. I will definitely want them when we come back to Tahoe.”


“Teeda was amazing! Made time for a meet n greet. This was our first time using Rover and Teeda made us feel immediately comfortable. She was very sweet and loving to our puppy. Our pup spent the day playing in her backyard with other dogs! Came home happy and exhausted! Highly recommend Teeda to anyone looking to leave their best friend in good hands!!”


“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: I’ve always had pets and been around animals since I was young. Since moving to Tahoe I watch animals on a weekly basis, and enjoy every minute! I work remotely and I am able to watch dogs throughout the day. The remote job also allows be to travel and be more attentive to the pets. I am very big on attention and activity. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. Or if they prefer to rest and relax, making sure they are comfortable. Either way, understanding the needs of the dog and tailoring the care to them.
“Kelly is AMAZING. She dog-sat my 3 month old puppy Layla and did a fantastic job. Layla didn't even want to leave at the end of the day. Kelly took the time to do a meet and greet and took lots of notes. She took Layla to a fenced in yard and played with her for hours. She gives all of her attention to her client which i really appreciated.”

About: As lifelong dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. We have experience volunteering at the humane society, and have spent the last few years pet sitting dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, our goal is to stick to your dog's normal routine and treat them like one of our own. Dan and I both work in the restaurant industry, which gives us a flexible schedule. We work 3–4 days a week and often work opposite shifts, so one of us is usually home or available throughout the day. If we do work the same day, our shifts are in the evening, so we still have the entire morning and afternoon to spend with your pet. We make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love so your pet feels comfortable with us. We want every pet to feel at home while in our care. We have a fenced-in backyard and live just minutes from the marsh and beach, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or does not do well with other dogs, we are happy to provide care in your home instead. We understand that every owner has their own routines and expectations, and we will always respect your instructions and your pet’s needs. At our home, dogs are welcome on the couch, are surrounded by toys, and can hang out in backyard to sunbathe and roam free. Whether your pet is staying with us or we are caring for them in their own home, our goal is to create a safe, trusting, and stress-free environment for both owner and doggo.

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

My commitment is to the needs of the owner so you can relax knowing your pet is in a loving, kind, and attentive home. I'm happy to send pictures throughout the stay, video chat with your pet, fun SnapChat pics, or call for a check-in anytime.

I look forward to a meet and greet to make sure we are the right fit, open to Zoom meet and greets too! Be sure to ask about my personalized artwork of your pet and more. Personalizing merchandise from jewelry, pillows, mugs, dog tags and leashes, clothing, and so much more. Also, available to produce invitations, banners, and everything needed for an event! My schedule is quite accommodating and flexible and tending to your fur baby's needs is the priority. I work from home so attentiveness is a priority. Super cozy and safe home in TK near the Y. Super safe with private beach access. Beautiful trailers nearby - Camp Richardson, Emerald Bay, beach walks.

They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”

I walked dogs with a dog walking service and for family and friends as well I work part time so I have a flexible schedule and can work your needs in as needed. I have days and nights available. Please contact me for more information. I follow the owners instructions exactly, send daily updates, monitor health and well being, provide exercise/walks, and I provide cleaning services as needed for the owner.
About: I have been an animal, lover and pet owner since my young years of life! I’ve always owned dogs and cats and have watched over loved ones animals as well over the years. I’ve spent the last two years professionally walking dogs in the Tahoe area for families of all different needs - whether it is housesitting, drop- in visits, or boarding needs - for small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and older animals, my experience is thorough and backed by love. I am a very active individual and can take animals needing high activity, hiking or running, but I’m also happy to relax with those calmer pets who enjoy the slower peace of life. I have endless references to provide insight to my past care and glowing reviews, and can’t wait to be considered for your furry ones care and create ease in the household when needed! I currently work as a Remote Insurance Agent for Globe Life which allows me full flexibility to accommodate your family's and furry loved ones needs - I have availability for overnight care, boarding requests, drop in visits for tailored walks or playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medical requests, and prompt check-ins. This change of pace has been a nice alternative from the hustle and bustle of past work experience as a project coordinator, logistics broker, hospitality leader in the concierge world, and constant stream of server jobs! Dependable care is the name of my game for your family's needs. I have a large fenced backyard off of North Upper Truckee Road in South Lake Tahoe and access to endless trails such as the Angora Meadow and Big Meadow. I have one loving and sweet dog named Addy who will be a perfect and compassionate companion for your pets or can be separated if requested. My cat, Maithai, likes to observe dogs from a distance and stays to herself unless she is in a playful mood. She can be separated as well since my spacious 3 bedroom home offers such accommodations. I have reliable transportation with ample space in my Toyota Sienna. Whatever services you request or needs you prioritize - I can guarantee to be able to deliver. Your comfort and trust in my care takes all precedence!
