“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 !!”
“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! ????”
“Gabriel was fantastic. This was my first time boarding my dog and first time leaving her since our other dog passed away. I was very nervous leaving her behind. Gabriel's house was perfect - big fenced back yard and cozy inside. She was allowed to sleep on the bed if she wanted. He was very calm and reassuring. He allowed us to do a short visit to his house before our bigger trip to get her used to being there. Will definitely be using him again!”
“Gina and Erik were amazing! I could tell right away they were very loving people and my dog would be comfortable there. They sent me pictures and an update daily which I really appreciated. Deuce, my dog didn't even want to leave when I came to pick him up! I know he had a great time and would highly recommend Gina and Erik! Thank you both so much!”

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.
“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!”
“Thank you for working so well with me and minco. Sorry we had to rush out, the kiddo and dog had my hands full. You were wonderful and hope I can rely on you in the future”
“Lara was very sweet and the house was very nice. They did a great job on short notice with a big dog who has some injury problems, I can’t say enough how much I appreciate them!”
“My guy had a ball with Stephanie… lotsa walks, hikes and runs. She did a great job of keeping me up to date during his stay, which I found helpful. Also her dogs were bonus play pals too. Thank you Stephanie!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! She watched my shepherd mix and took great care of him - played fetch, took him out for hikes/walks, and shared a ton of pictures and updates. Will definitely be brining my pup back to her!”
“Kymberly was AMAZING with our dog!! We booked her last minute because we got in a bind to find someone while we were in Tahoe for a ski race. Our dog has separation issues and she was hands down so wonderful with him!! He LOVED his time with her! Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend her!!! He got to experience the beautiful Kings Beach too.”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of many different animals from baby deer to chickens. I’ve had many different breeds of dogs from an Akita to Great Pyrenees. Currently I have a male cat. I’m pretty flexible in my schedule and can visit during the week( I do have a child I have to pick up in the afternoon.) I can walk and play with dog or cat. As well as check the food & water. I’m pretty flexible with whatever may be needed for care.
“Had Tim do a few drop in visits to care for our cat Stevie while we were away for a couple days (we’ve used him for boarding multiple times in the past). Tim is wonderful and exhibited the same love and care in our home that we’ve come to expect. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
About: I live in a private home with a large, fully fenced-in yard off of Ski Run Blvd with three female rescue chiweenies. I have had and cared for dogs (large and small) as well as cats for 13 years and am loving, patient, and responsible. I love to get outside for runs down to the beach or to go hiking in the area, and try to bring at least one dog with me on every adventure. I have raised both puppies and cared for elderly dogs, including my own Golden Retriever Stewie who sadly passed away two years ago at the age of 12. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members as well as I do my own! My schedule varies, but I keep it up to date in the app and can be flexible if anything comes up or if needs change. I have a fully fenced in, private backyard off of a quiet street that is perfect for lots of running around with my 3 dogs, who are incredibly friendly and get along with dogs of all ages and sizes (and are great at tiring out puppies!). My dogs are crate trained and usually are in their crates at night and when I am away for more than a couple hours, and I would be happy to do the same or whatever is preferred for yours.
“Brenna was Great! Mr Meowgi warmed up to her very quickly. Brenna’s communication was also really good and prompt. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to our friends.”
“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.”
“Georgette's attention to detail was outstanding, the weather was a factor throughout her time taking care of our pets, but she made sure that if it was starting to rain, she came back to take our pup from the backyard and into the house. Her dedication and extra efforts were so very appreciated, will plan to use her services in the future for our next trip.”
“Jaclyn is the best! She communicates very well and gives our kitties the love and attention they need while we are gone. We also have a special needs cat and she handles him perfectly. We would recommend Jaclyn to anybody and feel so lucky to be one of her clients!”
“Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book again!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have cared for friends and families cats often. I have had special needs cats including cats needing kidney care, daily medication, etc. I have volunteered in shelters to make cats more comfortable with people, feed, play, and clean litter boxes.
About: *Special Situation * I live in a van with my dog Milo, if I watch your fur babies Milo will need to be able to stay in the house as well. I have been around dogs my entire life, I love to give dogs a fun and active environment with as much love and playtime necessary. Milo, who has brought me such joy in life and he loves to be around other dogs too! I have lots of free time Friday through Monday to care for your dogs and give them the attention they deserve. I love to be outside and it is very important to me that dogs get a lot of playtime and activity through out the day. I will ensure that your pup has the best experience in my care at all times. I would love to watch over your pup. Having a dog, I am always able to take care of pets. I make sure that all dogs get the attention that they need and work around my schedule to ensure that. I live in a van, and my dog and I are always on the move and playing outside. If I do watch your pups at your home, I ask that Milo is allowed to join the pack! He is extremely friendly.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Zephyr Cove
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Laura and Christian did an incredible job taking care of Hanoi for the day. They both have a wonderful energy, same goes to their two beautiful dogs. They were sitting another pup at the same time, who matched perfectly Hanoi’s vibe. They took them to the beach, and made me feel jealous with all the vids and photos they sent of them having a blast. Thank you, will definitely repeat if I need daycare services again soon!”
“Our dog had a great time with Melissa. She enjoyed the big enclosed backyard and the walks. Melissa made sure we were updated during the day and she even gave us a framed picture of our dog! I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Lauren was a life saver with a last-minute booking. She responded quickly and was very communicative throughout the booking. Not only was she extremely friendly and professional, but she also went above and beyond with treats and walks to the beach. She was very thorough with our instructions in the app and asked a number of questions to ensure he would have the best time. When we came to pick him up, he didn't want to leave! I highly recommend Lauren and only wish we had found her sooner.”
“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.”
“We were very pleased with Kendal and Lola. Kendal house got a nice fenced yard and it’s located in a beautiful and safe area. I definitely recommend Kendal if you need help with your pet. Thank you Kendal!”
“Raluca was amazing! She accommodated our last-minute booking request and was incredibly kind throughout the process. She took great care of Copo, taking him out for walks and keeping me updated with excellent communication during his stay. Highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie is amazing! Our 10month old husky puppy, Lumi, had an amazing time with her and her very well behaved dogs. I had to reach out to Stephanie on very short notice, and she was more than accommodating! I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future!”
“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 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.
About: Hi! I’ve been a dog sitter for over 8 years. I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to care for their dog from small to large. I take many walks throughout the day and have a large fenced in yard so your pup will get plenty of exercise! I work remote and have the flexibility needed to care full time for dogs. I live in a large home with a fenced in yard. I have plenty of space for overnight pets. Wirh a large yard and close to walking trails, your pup will have plenty of play time.

“Alena is fantastic! We were headed to Dry Tortugas Park in the Florida Keyes for the day and couldn't take our dog "JoJo" with us. The previous day she suggested a meet & greet (which I didn't even know was a "thing"). JoJo connected with her right away. And from the pictures she sent, JoJo is smiling and happy. I would definitely recommend her and would hire her again.”
About: Hello! I’m a lifetime dog owner. I have two 10 year old dogs Arcata and Izzy and one girlfriend Chelcee. The four of us love to hike, walk, go backpacking, camping or just hang at the house. We would be happy to have another fur ball or two join our adventures. Or perhaps just be a couch potato like our dog Izzy. Whatever they prefer you can be sure we will provide a safe and fun environment. We have a large dog door and a decent sized clean backyard where our dogs love to sun bathe. I work from home giving me the availability to be present with all the fur babies. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with a stranger. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet has a great time. Please reach out with any of your questions or concerns. Thanks! I’m a full-time online student working two flexible hour jobs. I’m usually doing homework in our small cozy home where I can be present with our guest(s) at all times. Our backyard is fenced in with a large dog door. We keep a clean tidy home with a fun easy going atmosphere. Most days this includes a walk or two. Followed by treat time. All dogs will be fed separately.
“Tim did an incredible job taking care of my dog and cat! He truly is a dog whisperer. Dixie is shy and has never warmed up to anyone expect myself and close family but she loved Tim after just a few visits! Highly recommend him for all your pet walking and sitting. You won’t be disappointed!”
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: Hello! I’ve been regularly looking after dogs and cats for about 5 years, and I’ve had parrots most of my life, so I’m comfortable with birds too. I have a deep respect for the place I stay at - maintain necessary privacy and keep the house clean and tidy during my stay (check Airbnb reviews in the last photos). I work on creative projects from home - writing a book and doing online consulting and life coaching. I’m around plenty to keep your pet a company, play, engage, and follow your pet’s schedule. A note on overnight stays: I do require a separate bedroom to recharge. This is important for me to show up fully for your pet and maintain my energy and focus for my work the next day. If your pet used to sleep with a human and struggles with overnight separation, I may not be the best fit. I appreciate your understanding! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend 🙏🏻 I am an energy therapist and provide sessions online. I make my own schedule. Looking after a pet is an additional source of income for me, so I treat it equally as a job and make a proper time in my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I only provide a service of looking after your pet at your property and do not take pets to my home. I will do so only in a case of an emergency.
About: Hi! I’m Georgette — a lifelong animal lover and Tahoe resident since 2008 with over 6 years of regular pet-sitting experience. I’m calm, patient, and active, and I love spending time outside keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged. I work well with high-energy breeds, large dogs, and multi-pet households. I care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m comfortable giving both oral and injectable medications. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home (no boarding). Visits and walks are typically 30 minutes, and I am available throughout the South Lake Tahoe/Stateline area. As a self-employed web designer, I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m self-employed as a web designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my work around pet visits, walks, and overnights. That means I can be consistent with timing, responsive to changes, and fully present when I’m caring for your pets — not rushing in between other commitments. I enjoy being outside and active, so walks and check-ins are something I genuinely look forward to each day. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their own familiar environment and routines. During visits and overnights, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and quiet time. I make sure dogs get proper exercise and attention, and cats get the calm, respectful care they prefer. I keep litter boxes, food areas, and living spaces tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are comfortable and well cared for.
About: Hello! My name is Jaclyn. I’m a local animal lover with a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it's going on long walks with dogs, cuddling up with cats, or making sure smaller animals get the attention they need, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and helping them feel safe and loved. I currently work from home, so your pet will never be left unsupervised. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at a local clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I’m trained in safe handling techniques and experienced in administering medication to animals with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I was also known as the cat whisperer and understand how to respect their space while building trust and comfort. I’ve had animals in my life since childhood and currently share my home with two Australian Shepherd's and two kitties. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet, whether furry, feathered, or scaly, as if they were my own! I currently work remotely so it is easy for me to fit walks and potty breaks into my daily routine. There are some days I am out of the house for events but I would make sure you as a pet parent were aware and proper arrangements were made. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to roam. My dogs are very active and will provide a full day of play.
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.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats over the years and always go above and beyond to make them and their parents happy. I have worked with small and large dogs, one to three dogs at once, old and puppies. I love animals so much and watching them is always the best part of my day! I have my own business so I am able to leave and walk a dog whenever I need to! When doing doggy day care or boarding I will often bring the pup with me to the gallery so it can hang out. I am very attentive and any time I am walking a dog I make sure to be very aware of our surroundings. Even when I let them out in a backyard I make sure to keep an eye on them. I always make sure everything is okay before I leave (checking there’s no food out, making sure they have enough water, triple checking there’s door is closed and locked!)

“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.

I have a flexible work-from-home schedule and live locally to awesome hiking trails for walks. I provide full-time or part-time care suited to your needs.

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and my partner Alex and I spent the last few years traveling abroad and working remotely. We’ve landed in Lake Tahoe for the foreseeable future :) We provide a safe, active, and loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We’re still both fully remote, which means your fur baby gets consistent attention, not just quick check-ins. Our days naturally include multiple walks (morning, mid-day, and evening), outdoor time, and plenty of downtime for cuddles and relaxation. We live an active lifestyle and love having a furry friends alongside us for walks, fresh air, and exploring, but we’re just as intentional about creating a calm, secure space at home so your pet feels comfortable and settled. We’ve cared for pets for years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms, in both our home and theirs. We’re very attentive and always know where your pet is, so you never have to worry about safety or supervision. Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re having their own little vacation. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative sitters who will treat your pet like their own, we’d love to help. Because we both work fully remote, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine and gets consistent attention throughout the day. Our typical weekday schedule includes a morning walk before work, another walk or outdoor break mid-day, and a longer walk or activity in the evening. We’re home all day, so your pup isn’t left alone for long stretches and gets plenty of interaction, supervision, and care in between. We also build in flexibility throughout the day for playtime, potty breaks, and any specific needs your dog may have. On weekends, we’re usually free and spend more time outdoors, which means even more walks, fresh air, and quality time. If your dog enjoys being active, they’ll fit right into Alex’s routine! Additionally, Nicole is just as happy accommodating dogs who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. We have stairs in our home that lead down to our bedroom as well as to get down to the front door. If your pup has mobility issues, they’ll need to be okay with being carried up and down

“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 !!”
“Gabriel was fantastic. This was my first time boarding my dog and first time leaving her since our other dog passed away. I was very nervous leaving her behind. Gabriel's house was perfect - big fenced back yard and cozy inside. She was allowed to sleep on the bed if she wanted. He was very calm and reassuring. He allowed us to do a short visit to his house before our bigger trip to get her used to being there. Will definitely be using him again!”

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!”
“Thank you for working so well with me and minco. Sorry we had to rush out, the kiddo and dog had my hands full. You were wonderful and hope I can rely on you in the future”
“Lara was very sweet and the house was very nice. They did a great job on short notice with a big dog who has some injury problems, I can’t say enough how much I appreciate them!”
“My guy had a ball with Stephanie… lotsa walks, hikes and runs. She did a great job of keeping me up to date during his stay, which I found helpful. Also her dogs were bonus play pals too. Thank you Stephanie!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! She watched my shepherd mix and took great care of him - played fetch, took him out for hikes/walks, and shared a ton of pictures and updates. Will definitely be brining my pup back to her!”
“Kymberly was AMAZING with our dog!! We booked her last minute because we got in a bind to find someone while we were in Tahoe for a ski race. Our dog has separation issues and she was hands down so wonderful with him!! He LOVED his time with her! Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend her!!! He got to experience the beautiful Kings Beach too.”
“I needed to find someone to board my 2 dogs last minute due to previous arrangements falling through.i found Gina and she was great! She made my fur pups feel at home and made sure they were well taken care of. I would 10/10 recommend Gina!”
“Laura was great with my Labrador Charlie! He settled right in with her 2 small dogs, like he was just one of the pack. I loved that she sent photos of Charlie's adventures of the day, it made me feel good knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely be happy knowing Charlie's in Laura's care on my future busy days in Tahoe!”
“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
