“This was our first drop-in visit and Ginny and I could not be more grateful.! Mindy communicated when she was on her way, once she arrived, and then she shared photos of her walk and visit with me while I was at work. The best part was just knowing that my dog was in such good hands and that when I arrived home, Ginny was in a great mood!!! I highly recommend Mindy to care for your best furry friends!!!”


“This was our second time using Olivia to take care of our cat while we were out of town. She did a great job! Olivia is a great communicator and takes excellent care of our cat. I’d definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a good pet sitter, and I look forward to booking her again for future sits.”


“Angelique went above and beyond keeping our house cared for during the holidays/biggest snowstorm in fifty years. It was a mission for anyone to even exist during those few days and she made sure that our cat was cared for and safe. Plus making sure we had a path to get to the house when we returned, so incredible. Thank you!”


“Toni is super caring and I could tell right away that she really loves animals. She was easy to work with, communicative and reliable. I would definitely work with her again!”


“Kerri did a wonderful job as our cat "sitter"! Really appreciated her friendliness, quick & timely communications, attentiveness with our senior cat, and especially the videos, photos, and notes during her visitation. Highly recommend!”


“Alena is a fantastic sitter. She spent quality time with our cats, sending pictures and a comprehensive visit summary each day, giving me peace of mind. I had no worries about my fur babies while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”


“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.😁”



“Caitlin was super easy to communicate and work with! Yeti had a great time hanging out during our visit to Tahoe and he came home happy and ready to snuggle and sleep!”


“Rachel was great with our large and excitable Winston. We booked her for a drop in and she even stopped by earlier in the day for an initial meet and greet. She texted us updates and pics while she was here, which was comforting. We will definitely book Rachel again.”


“Emily loves dogs! Emily understands what it is to have a "fur baby" and that they are a a member of the family not just a pet and that makes her a perfect fit as a sitter at Rover.Com. Emily will treat your dog as if they were her own taking care of them with love and tenderness. I would not hesitate for one second to have her tending to my fur babies.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life had horses cows and sheep I learned to care for them and enjoyed them. I Loved all my animals I’m available daily to care for your pets. I’m willing and able and would enjoy your furbabies. I walk every day for my exercise thanks I’m available to come to your home and feed and walk your dog brush them if needed and love and spend quality time with them

About: I got my first dog for my 8th birthday and have loved and cared for many ever since! From chihuahuas to Dobermans, I’ve walked, fed, played, and trained so many sizes and kinds. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. I love being outside as much as I can, so always available for longer walks for those restless ones. I can easily adjust to any needs or wants your pet may need! Slow and steady walks with lots of sniffs or maybe a fast paced run and a dip in the river to get the energy out.. I can be flexible and do either!

“Mary was awesome, and really did a great job checking in on our Cat and spending time with him. I think he might of liked her better than me lol”


About: There is nothing I would love more than to have a house full of pets. However, the nature of my seasonal work has allowed me to meet plenty of wonderful animals. I've had many opportunities to dog sit and dog walk in NYC, Missoula and South Lake Tahoe. One of my favorite activities is to take my friend’s dog Maple on hikes in the rocky mountains. As an avid hiker and backpacker, exercise is important to me. I love walking around New York and walking dogs fits in with this favorite activity of mine. Instructions and directions are important to me when watching someone’s pet, so as long as you specify your dog or cats needs I will be more than willing to accommodate them. This includes how you would like me to occupy your house if house sitting. I can take special routes, go slow, provide medicine and feed your pet according to your wishes with a safe and careful nature.

“Michelle has watched our two dogs and cat many times. She takes great care of them and we can relax when we are away knowing that they are loved and cared for. She does a great job!”


About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on 20 acres with chickens, dogs, cats, horses and pigs! Animals are a big part of my life and always will be. I recently stepped back from my full time job as a dental restorative specialist to be home with my 3 month old. I am available most days with some exceptions. Please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you with in the hour. I have a huge back yard for the dogs to play in. Plenty of toys, balls and space for fun. My Aussie Rey gets along with all dogs, she is a kind submissive girl.

About: Hello there! I have been dog walking/sitting since I was a little girl! Nowadays, I enjoy keeping your pets active and well taken care of in the South Lake Tahoe area (the best place to have fun outdoors)! I am comfortable with animals who have special care instructions such as administering medicine and have experience with puppies and larger breeds such as German shepherd/Great Dane. For right now, my schedule allows me to be available for petsitting and walking every day of the week! Boarding can be arranged in advance in order to block out the necessary time for around the clock care. I put an emphasis on exercise and am not scared of a bath. Right now, I do not have pets of my own so I really enjoy the companionship and opportunity for exercise and activities. At the moment, I live in a pet friendly apartment building a short walk away from the beach!


“Lauren is an amazing animal lover. She never hesitates to go above and beyond to make sure you animal family is spoiled and happy. She has more love for animals than most, and your fur babies are in amazing hands.”

“Jae was an instant hit with my normally shy kitties and super easy to communicate and work with!”
