“Patty and Randy were wonderful!! They are very kind and sweet people who took great care of our dog, Penny. When we went to pick up our pup, she was so happy to see us, yet we could tell she had been loved and felt comfortable in their home. Our pup jumped on us to say hello and jumped on Patty as to say goodbye, but thanks for watching me! :) We will definitely have Patty and Randy watch Penny again on our next trip!”
“Thanks Tim for taking such good care of soma! He had a great time. Tim sent daily updates with photos. Our dog looked very happy despite being prone to anxiety! He took to tim immediately.”
“Jennifer and her boyfriend, Jack, were great hosts for our dog Brody while we were skiing in town for a couple days! They were both super nice and genuine, very accommodating with a last minute daycare request, and were flexible with our schedule which was super helpful! They both asked questions the drop off, sent us a ton of pictures throughout the day, and overall made us feel very comfortable with having our dog there with them! I would absolutely recommend and we will use them again when we are in the area!”
About: I provide highly capable, active care for mountain dogs. My shepherd maremma mix, Lumi, and I hit the trails daily - a flexible schedule finishing up my Master's degree means I have plenty of time for dedicated supervision. We have a fully fenced yard and are a quick walk to the forest. For your absolute peace of mind, I hold an active Wilderness EMT certification and my daily trail kit includes a canine-specific tourniquet. Very flexible as I wrap up grad school. We long walk early in the morning to beat the crowds, ensuring the doogo(s) gets open space for off-leash exercise when the environment is safest from distraction. Lumi is a solid regulator and grew up teasing coyotes on an unfenced 15acres. We'll keep a good watch. *Reminder that Rover applies a 25% surcharge to the prices that we set - and then they hit you with another 11% :(
“Melissa is the best! Great communication and very dog friendly environment. This was my first time ever leaving Gus overnight & she went above and beyond to make sure he felt right at home. He and Cody were instant BFFs & it’s great to know he has someone who makes him feel so safe and comfortable when I am not able to be with him.”
“Megan was a great sitter for our Charlie! I appreciated the effort she made to meet up before hand to get to know him. She was also easy to schedule and communicate with. I loved all of pictures we got throughout his stay. Coming home, Charlie was totally chilled out and happy; seems like he had a great time at Megan’s house and we so appreciate the care and attention she gave our old pup.”
“Teeda is awesome! Our dog Willow loved her stay with her. We were really happy with how Teeda sent us pictures of Willow throughout the stay. I am also a Rover sitter and I am very impressed w Teeda. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl;-)”
“We were in a pinch needing dog care while on vacation because our rental didn’t allow dogs. Adam and Lauren were excellent with our “geriatric” and needy dogs and they provided such great attention love and care. Highly recommend!”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. 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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We were so lucky to find Christina last minute. She was so wonderful with Luke and her kids also love to help out and watch the dogs! We had a delay in travel and Christina was super flexible and accommodating.”
“Jaimie was awesome! She was flexible around a few oddities with pickup/drop off, but most importantly treated our dog Maple so well! Great walks and play time, we could tell Maple was very happy. Thank you!!”
“My dog Kevin loved his stay. Sandra’s pup Bella got along so well with him. They played constantly and when I got him home Kevin passed out from pure joy! I received photos/videos every day and it made me happy that he was doing so great. Thank you Sandra!”
“Angelique was awesome. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times. When we picked our dogs up from her house, they were wore out from a hike and happy to see us!”
About: Dogs are part of the family in my home, and I’ll treat yours the same way. I have a large yard with plenty of room to play and relax, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable inside (including cuddling up on the couch). I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. My family includes a larger Labradoodle and a small Chihuahua/Terrier mix, both older, so I am also very comfortable with senior dogs and their needs. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re here. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have dogs of my own. I work from home often and have plenty of flexibility for playtime, potty breaks, attention, and lots of cuddles. Your dog will be included in my normal family routine and get plenty of time both inside outside in my large yard. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely. Inside, dogs are treated like family and are welcome to relax, including on the couch. I have both a larger Labradoodle and a small Chihuahua/Terrier mix, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. Our dogs are older and my home is relaxed, loving, and dog-friendly.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats going back to my childhood. 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.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Michele as a sitter for my pup, Brady! They were awesome with immediate communication, super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided me with multiple updates throughout the day with videos and pictures! Michele went above and beyond taking my dog to the dog park AND a hike over the weekend! Highly recommend!”

Rayleen was fabulous to work with for our weekend stay in SoLake! She took such great care of our small dog, who is still recovering from lameness surgery. She kept me updated with photos and reassurance throughout his stay, which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for in her home. Thank you, Rayleen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Zephyr Cove is $93 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 304 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Zephyr Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Zephyr Cove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Zephyr Cove home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Zephyr Cove.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Zephyr Cove sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
