Dog Boarding Donner

“Kathy was amazing! She made Goldie feel welcome when we arrived and Goldie was immediately comfortable at Kathy's house. She sent daily photos and updates. I would definitely use Kathy again!”

“We left our 1-year-old pup with Nayla and Zeina for 5 days and they took SUCH great care of him! He loves being outdoors and Nayla took the dogs on off-leash walks twice a day, as well as made sure our pup was comfortable and ‘at home’ in her home. It was our first time leaving him with someone and Nayla very kindly sent lots of photos and videos. It was clear our pup was LOVING his time playing with Nayla, Zeina, and their many other dog friends too. Nayla was also super helpful and flexible in coordinating drop off and pickup for times that would work with our flights. Overall it was such a great experience and we can’t recommend Nayla enough!!”

“Aaron and Nicole were great. Our pup was comfortable with them right away. They have a warm, dog-safe environment and the whole family seems to really care for the dogs. Will definitely book with them again.”

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 doggo is like family to Kelly and Juneau. I really appreciate the patience Kelly had with working with Skipper, it gives me so much peace of mind when I go away.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past six years, I’ve helped raise four puppies and regularly care for dogs belonging to family and friends, sometimes having up to six dogs in my home at once. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Lucy, and two cats. My home has hard floors, a doggie door, and a large, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I also love taking dogs out for walks and fresh air. I care for my grandbaby at home one day a week, so I keep a safe, calm, and well-managed environment. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs and love making visiting pups feel like part of the family. 🐾 My days vary, but because I work from home, I’m around most of the time. Aside from an occasional errand or Pilates class, you’ll usually find me in my home office, out in the yard, or spending time with the animals. Walks, playtime, backyard exploring, and plenty of cuddles naturally fit into my day, so visiting pups get lots of attention and companionship while they’re here. 🐾 My home is very pet-friendly and already set up with animals in mind. I have hard floors, a puppy-proofed environment, a doggie door, and a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I supervise introductions with Lucy and my two cats carefully. I’m also happy to separate pets or adjust the environment when needed so everyone feels safe and relaxed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on visiting pups and make sure they’re getting the right balance of play, rest, attention, and affection. 🐾

“Baxter had a great time with Sky! She was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet-sitting in the Truckee area!”

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.

“Iryna was great with my dog. They took long walks daily and even went on hikes. I received photos and videos daily as well. Since she is retired, my dog wasn’t left alone for long periods of time. She has a dog that she brought with her so my dog had a buddy to play with all week. I would definitely use her again.”
