“Brett was awesome with my dog Scout. He was a great communicator and flexible with drop off time. Scout had a great time hanging with Brett at home watching sports and even went on two different hikes in the area. Scout came home exhausted and happy. Would definitely use Brett again !!”

“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!”

“Jessica was great! She watched my shepherd mix and took great care of him - played fetch, took him out for hikes/walks, and shared a ton of pictures and updates. Will definitely be brining my pup back to her!”

About: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with small or medium size dogs. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether that means long walks in high meadows, playtime, or simply keeping them. I am currently working full-time from home, but I am not in scheduled meetings all day and can adjust my schedule to play, walk, or visit your pets. I have a large, fenced deck where your pet can enjoy sunbathing and fresh air. This space acts as an extension of our home, ensuring your pet's safety.
“Gabriel was fantastic. This was my first time boarding my dog and first time leaving her since our other dog passed away. I was very nervous leaving her behind. Gabriel's house was perfect - big fenced back yard and cozy inside. She was allowed to sleep on the bed if she wanted. He was very calm and reassuring. He allowed us to do a short visit to his house before our bigger trip to get her used to being there. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Lara was very sweet and the house was very nice. They did a great job on short notice with a big dog who has some injury problems, I can’t say enough how much I appreciate them!”
“Luna had a great stay with Armand! She was very comfortable there and got out on plenty of walks. Armand was great to work with and very communicative! Already planning Luna’s next stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kymberly was AMAZING with our dog!! We booked her last minute because we got in a bind to find someone while we were in Tahoe for a ski race. Our dog has separation issues and she was hands down so wonderful with him!! He LOVED his time with her! Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend her!!! He got to experience the beautiful Kings Beach too.”

“Jeremy took great care of Tonsai during a weeklong business trip/vacation. He was very responsive with pictures and updates and I felt really comfortable having him take care of Tonsai!”

“Highly recommended!! 🌟 Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of Henry, I wasn't sure if he'd want to come home! 🤣 We loved the daily photo updates of their out & about adventures or their indoor cozy seshs. Henry looked so happy & relaxed. Shout out to Lauren's good friend Charmaine who Henry also had the pleasure of hanging out with! Lauren, you are now on speed dial for pet sitting! 😉 Thank you so much for everything! Happy Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎄🎆 pS... Henry says he misses you both! 🐕”

“Jan was great with our pup. She sent us regular photo and video updates so we knew she was being well taken care of. Jan ensured our dog got her daily exercise, even in inclement weather. I recommend Jan and will have her care for our dog again in the future.”

“Laura was great with my Labrador Charlie! He settled right in with her 2 small dogs, like he was just one of the pack. I loved that she sent photos of Charlie's adventures of the day, it made me feel good knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely be happy knowing Charlie's in Laura's care on my future busy days in Tahoe!”

“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!”

“Cristin was great, Cayenne had a wonderful time. Lots of playtime at the park, loved curling up in the dogs beds, couch and bed at her place. Cristin made her cookies and Cayenne loved them.”

“Tim was excellent! We're pretty particular who we have watch our pup and Tim was the perfect match. He has great communication before our stay and during. We received many pictures and updates on our pup. We would have our pup stay with him again in a heart beat.”
