Doggy Day Care in Floriston

About: My love for animals started when I was a little girl on a small family farm caring for goats, chickens, horses, and of course—dogs. I participated in 4H and horse competitions, which taught me patience, confidence, and responsibility around all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from tiny lap dogs to giant mountain adventurers, puppies to seniors. During COVID my daughter began boarding dogs, and we naturally grew into the dog care business together. It’s become a true family passion and we absolutely love what we do. I’m available full-time, including weekends and holidays. Your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, potty breaks, walks, play, and cuddles throughout the day. When dogs stay with us, they’re treated like family. We live 15 minutes from downtown Truckee on 22 private acres of forested land with a meadow and trails to explore. We also have a secure fenced area for safe outdoor play and structured time. Inside, there are cozy napping spots and fresh water available throughout the home and property. Between the open space, toy baskets, sticks, and balls—dogs leave happy, tired, and content.

About: I grew up with dogs of various sizes.have attended puppy school with my dogs and have the education to help train your pup(s). I work on leash skills, come/fetch, and many others. I always emphasize love for the dog and positive reinforcement. I have a schedule that nicely aligns with helping out with pets. Able to walk, play, check in on them frequently so they're not alone too long :) I love to take dogs for walks through neighborhoods, to parks, and even on hikes! I make sure the area is safe for walking and playing prior to going. I also double check if being on furniture is okay or not, make note of favorite toys, and try to keep the home the way I found it.

“Malea was fantastic! She’s accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She was timely and quickly engaged my dogs so they were happy to follow her anywhere. They were so well cared for that they were totally relaxed after we returned. We’ll definitely call on her again. Ellie J.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I’m a stay-at-home Mom. Kids are homeschooled so we are always around. Can take your dog outside and for walks throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and a silly boxer boy dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog at night if you prefer.

“I have a rescue dog, Mia, who's very nervous with new people and being left with strangers. She had a fantastic time with Kathy and her own friendly dog. I think they played all day, as Mia was exhausted by the evening. I dropped her off two days in a row, dreading the second in case she was upset about being left, but she ran into Kathy's house, tail wagging, eager to greet her new friends and get started.”

About: Growing up with dogs my whole life, there has not been a year where we have not had dogs in the house.... meaning we love them! To add to growing up with dogs, I (ambitiously) got a puppy during my senior year of college. This taught me to balance caring for a puppy while excelling in school and enjoying my senior year. This challenge gave me a new insight into putting 100% care into a pet and made my bond grow deeper with my dog, Josie. My family's dog, Molly, is a therapy dog for hospitals and schools allowing me to see the true joy that dogs bring into people's lives. That said, I truly enjoy finding the joy and laughter each dog brings into our home! Working from home, I am truly present to take care of and be attentive to all dogs. There are a few days where I will be unavailable due to travel or subbing at school, but those are blocked off on a weekly basis. Josie and I always start our morning with an activity. Josie loves to go on a morning run, so if your pup is a runner... get ready to join the pack! On the other hand, my family's dog, Molly, loves her walks and play time. We also have a park and great trails in our neighborhood meaning the day is open for adventures. Our condo is in a wonderful area close to the beach with lots of grass and easy access to walking trails. As a home welcome to dogs, we love having them sleep with us but can crate them if that is their safest spot. We have the space to feed dogs separately if needed.

“Nikoleta is a wonderful dog sitter! My miniature dachshund, Jake, was so well taken care of in her care - lots of exercise, playtime and hugs! Nikoleta sent me lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the day (as per my request). I would highly recommend Nikoleta - she clearly has a genuine love for animals - she is warm, trustworthy, responsible, kind and has a lot of love to give!”
