Dog Boarding Alpine Meadows

“We left our beloved Poodle and Airedale plus another Poodle we were babysitting while we were at a destination wedding in Tahoe. This was a difficult decision for us as our dogs have never ever been left with someone else. We couldn't have been more happy. Beautiful home, Beautiful yard and loving care. My dogs, while confused, were instantly at ease. Kathy sent pictures and updates though out the dogs stay. It was easy on us and easy on the dogs. I would recommend Kathy in a second and if I have the chance to go to tahoe again, I would use her again in a second. The best picture was the two standard poodles sitting with her on her couch one on the left and one on the right. Thanks again Kathy.”

“Coco loved staying with Jasmine! She sent lots of pictures and I know she was very well cared for. Would use Jasmine again!”

“I've was so happy to find this service for my senior puppy. Gina was so good to her. I could not have asked for a better caregiver for Sadie. She is an 18 year old mini poodle with lots of needs. I received pictures every day showing me how well Sadie was doing. The home was very welcoming and the family dog was kind and gentle. I will definitely recommend this service and I would use Gina again if the need arises. Thank you so much!”

About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

“My dog Mona had the best vacation with Mallory! Mona got to splash around in the creek and play with other dogs. I got regular photos and videos, and Mallory was super responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Anton was amazing. Not only did he take care of my free small for kids. I’m short notice but he kept me updated and let me know how sweet they all were. Even better when the fur kids got home they were so excited to be around him and definitely fell in love. There were a few little whimpers once they saw him leave. Anton is definitely a repeat sitter and has gained my trust very rapidly. Thank you very much for taking care of my little fur family members.”

“Jennifer and her boyfriend, Jack, were great hosts for our dog Brody while we were skiing in town for a couple days! They were both super nice and genuine, very accommodating with a last minute daycare request, and were flexible with our schedule which was super helpful! They both asked questions the drop off, sent us a ton of pictures throughout the day, and overall made us feel very comfortable with having our dog there with them! I would absolutely recommend and we will use them again when we are in the area!”

About: Dogs have been both my profession and my passion. My background includes working with elite K9s in narcotics detection, explosive detection, apprehension, and executive protection. These experiences taught me how to understand canine behavior, build trust, reinforce training, and safely handle dogs in a variety of situations. What sets me apart is my ability to combine genuine care with professional training experience. Whether your dog is a highly active working breed, a puppy learning good habits, a senior needing patience and support, or a beloved family pet, I provide structured, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, mentally engaged, and well cared for while you're away. I am on your clock. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, structure, and positive interaction. I make time every day to provide dependable care, walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free in your absence. Safety and trust are at the center of everything I do. My experience handling both working K9s and family pets has taught me how to recognize behavior changes, assess situations, and respond appropriately to each dog's needs. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and treat every animal as if they were my own. I believe pet owners deserve peace of mind, so I provide reliable communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Your pet's comfort, security, and well-being will always be my highest priorities.

“Holy Smokes, Kate is amazing and I could not ask for someone better to watch my pup, she has been so communicative and really makes you feel a lot better about being away from your loved one for however long, she is also super supportive about all of your needs and will make sure you and your pup are left happy, please if you read this don’t scroll no further, Kate is your girl and she will treat you and your pup right and I promise you’ll never look for another person to watch your loved ones ever again! Thank you Kate ❤️”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, pace, and needs. I raised my own dog for nearly 18 years after rescuing him, and that experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly care for a dog through every stage of life. Beyond that, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from walking large, high-energy huskies to spending extended time with senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like they’re my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t experience long gaps without care or attention. I do step out occasionally for the gym or quick errands, but these are brief and planned around any bookings. When appropriate, I also enjoy bringing dogs along for safe outdoor time like relaxed walks or fresh air. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so your dog feels comfortable and you feel confident. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel secure and well cared for. In my home, I live in a single-story house with a fully fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor time and easy supervision. The space has previously been home to multiple dogs, so it’s well-suited and comfortable for them. I always prioritize safety by monitoring interactions, keeping a clean environment, and following any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s established routine to reduce stress and maintain consistency. My approach is patient, attentive, and built on trust—treating every dog as if they were my own.

“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”

“We keep booking Kelly as she is wonderful to both of our dogs. She sends lots of pics, lots of updates and very flexible and accommodating. She takes them for hikes, makes sure they each get play time. The dogs love her.”

April G.

“Thanks Tim for taking such good care of soma! He had a great time. Tim sent daily updates with photos. Our dog looked very happy despite being prone to anxiety! He took to tim immediately.”

“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”
