About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to having two Labrador Retrievers of my own. I also spent college as the head caretaker for our bulldog mascot, which required professional training. These days, I work remotely, so I have a lot more flexibility than the typical 9-to-5 sitter. When I’m house sitting, your dog can have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I can work from your home, take breaks for walks, and adjust the routine around what your dog is used to. I live in the Tahoe area and spend a lot of my free time outside, so I’m especially happy to get out for walks, hikes, or just some time in the fresh air with an energetic dog. At the same time, I’m equally happy hanging out at home with a senior dog or a pup who would rather spend the afternoon on the couch. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with senior dogs, daily exercise, and oral medications. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away, take good care of your home, and send enough photos and updates that you know they’re doing well. I’m happy to meet beforehand so we can make sure it’s a good fit and go over your dog’s routine, favorite spots, and anything else I should know. I work remotely and have flexibility on weekdays and weekends to stay at your home full-time or do frequent drop-ins, depending on the client’s preferences. I take the utmost care for a clients space when dog sitting, respecting all guidelines, over communicating as needed, and leaving the space as if I was never there each time. I like to share frequent updates proactively so the owner can be at peace their dog is well taken care of.

“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!”

About: Hi! My name is Faith. I have been caring for dogs for several years and grew up in a home that always had a couple of dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and communicative, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I am getting a job in a couple weeks! I will be working part-time with some extra shifts if I have the time. I am home a good majority of the day as well. I have a big yard. It is fenced. I would prefer to take care of the dog in the client's home. So the dog stays in its environment.

About: I have been an animal, lover and pet owner since my young years of life! I’ve always owned dogs and cats and have watched over loved ones animals as well over the years. I’ve spent the last two years professionally walking dogs in the Tahoe area for families of all different needs - whether it is housesitting, drop- in visits, or boarding needs - for small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and older animals, my experience is thorough and backed by love. I am a very active individual and can take animals needing high activity, hiking or running, but I’m also happy to relax with those calmer pets who enjoy the slower peace of life. I have endless references to provide insight to my past care and glowing reviews, and can’t wait to be considered for your furry ones care and create ease in the household when needed! I currently work as a Remote Insurance Agent for Globe Life which allows me full flexibility to accommodate your family's and furry loved ones needs - I have availability for overnight care, boarding requests, drop in visits for tailored walks or playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medical requests, and prompt check-ins. This change of pace has been a nice alternative from the hustle and bustle of past work experience as a project coordinator, logistics broker, hospitality leader in the concierge world, and constant stream of server jobs! Dependable care is the name of my game for your family's needs. I have a large fenced backyard off of North Upper Truckee Road in South Lake Tahoe and access to endless trails such as the Angora Meadow and Big Meadow. I have one loving and sweet dog named Addy who will be a perfect and compassionate companion for your pets or can be separated if requested. My cat, Maithai, likes to observe dogs from a distance and stays to herself unless she is in a playful mood. She can be separated as well since my spacious 3 bedroom home offers such accommodations. I have reliable transportation with ample space in my Toyota Sienna. Whatever services you request or needs you prioritize - I can guarantee to be able to deliver. Your comfort and trust in my care takes all precedence!

About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.

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!

She came and picked him up on time at our hotel. She’s very professional and Coco was very happy when he got back. Very personable and made us feel at ease. Coco has separation anxiety but he came back in good spirits.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Zephyr Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Zephyr Cove is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $37 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 310 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Zephyr Cove. About 89% of Zephyr Cove sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
