About: I’ve grown up taking care of many different animals from baby deer to chickens. I’ve had many different breeds of dogs from an Akita to Great Pyrenees. Currently I have a male cat. I’m pretty flexible in my schedule and can visit during the week( I do have a child I have to pick up in the afternoon.) I can walk and play with dog or cat. As well as check the food & water. I’m pretty flexible with whatever may be needed for care.
“I had scheduled Tim for a 3 hour house sitting with my pup Frankie . Unfortunately, on the day of our dinner out, my husband took I'll and I had to cancel Tim's appointment. Although I never met him, Tim was prompt in responding to my texts”


“Georgette's attention to detail was outstanding, the weather was a factor throughout her time taking care of our pets, but she made sure that if it was starting to rain, she came back to take our pup from the backyard and into the house. Her dedication and extra efforts were so very appreciated, will plan to use her services in the future for our next trip.”

“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”


“Brenna was wonderful. She dropped by in advance to get a feel for the place and what our cat needed, and she fully documented each visit. Our formerly feral cat really warmed up to Brenna. Responses and communication were great and very professional. We’d love to have her again!”


About: I started house sitting in high school and am highly adaptable to each animal and owner needs. I grew up with a dog, used to live with two beautiful german shepherds for 3 years, and have two adventure cats, Swoop and Riley, that live with me on the road in my camper van. I love animals. I’ve raised chickens and ducks, have plenty of experience with pet injuries and medication, walking large strong dogs, and take my cats out to explore the world. I am a huge hiker so if you would love for me to burn some energy out of your fur baby, I’m your girl but I’m also here for all the pet cuddles. I’m currently working Sunday-Wednesday in Incline but am available early mornings and evenings on those days with a lunch break. I have open availability all other parts of the Tahoe and Truckee, Carson City between Wednesday night and Sunday morning. I live in a van in Tahoe for the season so I have great flexibility. I have plenty of experience house sitting and can provide references as well. I always treat other people’s homes with respect and care. I would love to talk about expectations and how I can best care for everything.
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: I provide a safe, reliable and enriching environment for pups of all ages! I raised my pup since 11 weeks and I follow the AbsoluteDogs training methodology which has shaped Nori to be the adventure dog of our dreams! ❤️ I work part-time remotely, so am available most of the day to care for dogs. And my pup is available at all times for playtime. I have a pen for separating my pup away from yours if necessary, and any client’s dog will be walked on leash unless specifically requested by the client. I only provide baths for short haired, smooth coated dogs, and I can also provide basic obedience training using positive reinforcement.
“Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book again!”

“Calli is such a sweet soul my Hunny girl knew immediately & loves her so much! She beams in every photo & the daycare just mentioned today how much my pup loves being dropped off by her. From her solid communication & reliability, booking her again immediately!”

About: I am an experienced pet carer with many years of experience with my own animals, friends and families and have also volunteered at shelters caring for both dogs and cats. I have worked with many special needs pets and difficult behaviors and worked with animals to help make them ready for adoption. I am caring and attentive to all animals needs! I am currently working in person Monday- Thursday 7-5. These days I am available early morning and evening for your pets. The rest of the days I am free and happy to be with your pets as long as you’d like :) I am very attentive, caring, and open to many different animals and needs. I love taking dogs on walks and getting them the exercise they need. I love playing with cats and giving everyone lots of love and attention. I can also bring in mail, water plants or anything else you might need while you are away.
“Jaclyn was so great with our 3 kitties. We have one special needs cat with unique requirements and she handled him flawlessly! She provided updates and photos and we felt so comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We would recommend her to all of our friends.”

About: *Special Situation * I live in a van with my dog Milo, if I watch your fur babies Milo will need to be able to stay in the house as well. I have been around dogs my entire life, I love to give dogs a fun and active environment with as much love and playtime necessary. Milo, who has brought me such joy in life and he loves to be around other dogs too! I have lots of free time Friday through Monday to care for your dogs and give them the attention they deserve. I love to be outside and it is very important to me that dogs get a lot of playtime and activity through out the day. I will ensure that your pup has the best experience in my care at all times. I would love to watch over your pup. Having a dog, I am always able to take care of pets. I make sure that all dogs get the attention that they need and work around my schedule to ensure that. I live in a van, and my dog and I are always on the move and playing outside. If I do watch your pups at your home, I ask that Milo is allowed to join the pack! He is extremely friendly.
About: Greetings. I’ve had a best friend who was with me everyday for 15 years. I was with her from the beginning to the end. I am sensitive to the needs of our dogs and always very aware of our surroundings. I’m ultra aware of the cayotes up here and all their tricks. With the new smells and distractions for some dogs that are not from here I always feel safer to keep them on leash during our walks. I live alone in a quiet cabin on a quiet street, no traffic and no neighbors. Big fenced back yard and a small gated front porch. I know all the trails in Sierra track as well as the whole area. I’m very flexible and will take care of all the little things that are needed and the unexpected ones that pop up. I know how stressfull it can be traveling and then leaving your best friend with someone. I will communicate with you and make it easy and stress free. It’s a big adjustment not having my sweet girl Francis. I was so used to waking up and she was there, or coming home and she was sitting in my spot waiting for me. Honestly this is good for me having a dog around. It’s helping with this process I’m going through. I am very flexible and available almost anytime and on short notice if life happens. I know how that goes. I know the trails and areas to go that are safe and fun. Im an early riser, and I enjoy mornings walks when it’s nice and quiet with no traffic or crowds of people. I have no problem with taking the pup with me in the car to run a quick errand or even better a day trip somewhere. Some dogs love car rides with the window down and nose out. And some do not. It’s all optional, absolutely no problems leaving him or her at home while I’m out for a sec. I primarily work from home and would be with him/her almost all the time. My dog Francis was a little attached. Maybe loyal is a better word. I was very lucky with her and didn’t have to worry too much. But I learned to never ever let anything happen to her. Very aware of our environment. Cars, other dogs, cayotes, bees , bodies of water and all weather conditions, hot pavement and even to always avoid the drains/grates in the roads ect. I’m not disactred by my phone or anything else. I’ll only feed what the owner approves.
“I greatly appreciated Susan’s diligent care of my elderly dog over the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s hard to leave a beloved pet over the holidays, but I could tell by Susan’s daily messages that I didn’t need to worry. She walked him twice daily which he loves. He even seemed to eat better for her than he does for me! I will definitely use her again.”
