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.

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: 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.

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 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!)

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.

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: 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'm looking forward to my sixth year professionally watching pups while mom and dad get some turns in on the hill. Our pets are family, and I look after all fur babies the way I'd like mine to be cared for. Playing in the park, hiking, and cuddling on the couch are our typical days. Parents will be kept up to date with photos. I'd like to think I've gotten my pet portrait skills down. Treats have greatly assisted me in the process ;) I am flexible, and will work with you to fit your unique scheduling needs. If you are arriving at 3am from a long drive and need to drop the pups off then, no problem. Too tired after the hill? We can arrange a drop off. Prices are negotiable for additional pups and services. I work part time near to my place. I'm rarely gone more than five hours. I come home on my breaks to let everyone out to potty. If I have an excursion, I take everyone with me. I have a secure screen door that remains locked at all times when we are inside. Guests pups are on the leash any time we go outside.

Thank you, Alena!! Buoy had a wonderful time with you and my parents loved you! Alena was amazing, she was able to schedule me last minute before a trip. My 2yr old burner was staying with my elderly boomer parents and need a short walk everyday. Alena was able to confirm the night before I left, communicates amazing with me and my parents, and sent excellent photos of my boys 30 min daily walks. She went above and beyond helping my parents clean my dogs ears after and itch fit. Highly recommend and will book again on our next visit to Tahoe!!
