“Kerri is a great sitter. She took care of my pup over the weekend and they both went on a fun adventure around Tahoe. Kerri was communicative, sent lots of pictures and assurances that things were going well, which made me feel at ease. My pup looked happy when I picked her up. I can highly recommend Kerri! 🥰”


“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!”


About: Well, just like cats, I've always had dogs since I was very young and I've had very large dogs like Rottweiler, Doberman, even small puppies I'm currently working part-time some days in the mornings others in the afternoons so I have time to walk the pets but if it's about staying with them I have no problem going to be with them I am currently offering a walker service and to be able to take care of him at home. In my house I have two dogs and a cat they all get along, I have their separate rooms their large beds because my dogs are big and my cat is always with me so sometimes she sleeps with me or in her bed I give them homemade food like barf with some cookies

“She did an amazing job taking care of my senior dog Chopper. She was quick to respond, sent me pictures, and was super friendly throughout the entire experience. She was also very accommodating and flexible. I felt at very comfortable having my dog with her. I highly recommend!”


“Melanie and her family were so sweet and thoughtful with our little goku. We reached out last minute and she graciously accepted him into her family. Thank you so much again!”

“Phinn had the greatest time with Tess & Chris! This was his first boarding stay with them and I couldn’t have imagined it going any better. I received daily updates with pictures of him on walks and playing in their yard — he looked so happy! I am incredibly thankful to have found them to look after my best guy!”


“The Allison family were exceptionally friendly and kind to my dog, my dog had a great time staying and I look forward to going back next time!”

About: I have spent years as a foster, raising rescue dogs from puppy to adulthood. I am a patient, loving hooman to all dogs and a current dog mom to 3. 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. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs who love to play and nap. I am flexible and trustworthy for tending to your home-based needs.

“Faith Took great care of my lovely lady and made sure she got plenty of exercise. Sent consistent updates and photos. Thank you!!”


About: I'm a dog lover and am opening my home to host dogs after many great experiences using rover for my dogs. I will provide a safe environment for your dogs and will give daily updates and pictures. Looking forward to making new furry friends and accommodating their needs with personalized care. I life with my wife who loves animals and has worked in veterinary clinics and zoos. I will be home while hosting your dog and can provide attentive and personalized care. I will send pictures and updates every day your pup is with me. I have a fenced yard that gets a lot of shade. I like to walk and have access to trails from home. Dogs live longer and behave better by getting walks every day and I will provide activity and stimulation.

“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: I will always treat your pet as one of my own. With 20 years of dog caring experience, I am able to provide safe and comfortable environment for your pup while you’re away. I have personally been a dog owner from puppy to senior stages these last 20 years, including my adopted adult furbaby who I was told was on the streets for 3 months before his arrival to the animal shelter. My current pup is a 2 year old Maltipoo I have had since he was 10 weeks old. He’s been through obedience and agility courses and is currently being trained to be a service animal as his long term goal. Happy to provide fun casual training sessions for your pup with owner approved treats if that’s something you’d like for your pup under my care. I have dog sat a variety of breeds throughout the years. However, my main services this time around are for small to medium sized doodles who’ll need a caretaker that understands their temperament and playful energy amidst all the larger outdoor pups in the Tahoe region. I make sure to obtain all relevant information I need to know about your pup before we part ways. I also love sending updates throughout the day because I know I would want to know what my own pup is doing without me. Feel free to ask me any questions! Your pup will be able to hang out with me all day long! And have a playmate, my 2 year old furbaby Bentley, to enjoy their stay with! We may even go on some on leash adventures around the Tahoe Basin if that’s something your pup will enjoy doing. First and foremost, I would love to first meet your pup on neutral grounds (if I were to dog sit at your residence) in case there will be territorial issues by having a stranger (me!) entering their private space. This can be just outside your home on the side walk. If it’s to drop off at my place, I would like for us to have a consultation meeting to have your pup get acclimated in a new environment (my home) first before we have them return for a longer period of time for their stay. My 2 year old 13lb maltipoo is highly socialized and is a playful companion for those who also need a playmate throughout the day to exert their energy out. I have a fenced and shaded large deck where the pups can comfortable play and relax in throughout the day. Fresh water is always provided and depending on their diet, treats are also available. You are also welcome to provide their preferred treats and food items upon their drop off. Walks typically occur late morning and late afternoon — also dependent on weather. Of course if there is a particular schedule specifically for your pup, I will accommodate as much as possible for their comfort. I aim to provide the same amount of love and care for them as they would get from you!

“We just moved here and had to try new Rover sitters. We were so nervous but these girls removed our fears. They treated our fur babies as there own. We received photos of our pups and they looked so happy. They even went back to say good bye to them when we picked them up. Highly recommend them.”


“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!”


“I think Rebecca should be a dog sitter because she has worked w animals for years and went to school to care for them. I trust her w the care of my dog anytime.”

“Sophia was amazingly helpful with Sadie. She was extremely understanding of Sadie's separation anxiety and it really seemed like Sadie was comforted by having Sophia around. Genuinely I owe her tremendously for being so helpful. I have nothing but great things to say and would recommend Sophia to anyone.”
