House Sitting in Homewood

About: With nearly a lifetime of experience raising and training dogs, primarily hunting/sport breeds, I have been exposed to various handling styles and training techniques that have lead me to focusing on Free-Shaping my personal pack of dogs for the past 13 years. Because I have 3 dogs of my own (teenager,adult,senior) I have a pretty regular routine everyday of various activities with them individually and as a pack. Thursday through Sunday the flexibility of my open availability allows me to take on additional dogs on a part-time basis. Working with dogs will hopefully keep me from growing my pack anymore...fur now😉. My pups have individual crates, and beds to relax in the house. Big back yard, unfortunately unfenced, but there is a tether run and tie outs to use as needed. Dogs are never in the yard unsupervised. I transport them in a Chevy Suburban to other fun places around the Tahoe/Truckee area. Everyday is filled with multiple adventures, meal times in the early AM and late evening after a long walk. Individual needs or "rules" for your fur baby are completely respected, "it's your pup, it's your call".

“Kelly was professional, responsible and super friendly and took good care of my baby. Freckles also immediately took liking of her. Would work with Kelly again!”

About: I grew up in a family with dogs and since I was a child I had a great love and compassion for all living creatures. My friend and I were bringing home wounded birds and little creatures to rescue them and any lost, stray dogs wondering on the streets. Upon moving to Tahoe area in CA whenever my friends needed help to take care of their two cats while they were traveling, I was more than happy to do so. I myself am a dog and a cat parent. Both my pets are rescued, and I believe it’s mutual because animals are simply best companions for me, my two teen kids and we all share passion for outdoors. As a Tahoe local for almost two decades and always being a dog owner, I know lots of dog friendly places and safe trails to take them for an adventure and exercise. My own dog Rambo has a very friendly personality, gets along with other dogs very well and is always happy to have a companion to play, walk, run or wrestle with. I will be more than happy to take care of your beloved pet and can assure you your pet will receive the care, attention and love he or she deserves, just like all living creatures do! I'm self-employed and always arrange my schedule to fit my own pets needs and can accommodate other pets needs. Most days I'm flexible to take a break mid day for a walk with my dog. Mornings and late afternoons is our time for a longer time outside. Weekends are for long adventures (hiking, running, xc skiing etc) We live in a quiet neighborhood with an easy access to the trails and a green belt area right out the door. We have a fenced backyard where the dogs can safely play. Since I’m a longtime (since 2007) resident of Tahoe area and a dog owner for all these years I know well the trails and areas that are dog friendly and safe to take them for a walk and/or playtime.

“Ella was very responsive and sweet. She took good cares of our dogs and made sure they got a plenty of exercise time and attentions.”

“Sky is terrific. Kind, calm and very lloving. We were fortunate to have her watch our two dogs and house sit. One of our dogs is heading to TPLO surgery so not super active. Sky made sure he had plenty of love. She made sure he received his meds and food. Our large bernadoodle is 3 and very active. Sky took her for walks and the beach. Plenty of love and fun. Thank you Sky.”

“Corrina stayed at our house and took care of our 14 year old Australian Shepherd for 6 days and everything went great! She was extremely conscientious about the needs of our older dog, followed the care needs, took her for many walks, and communicated regularly. Also, the house was left perfectly and she even did some needed shoveling while she was here! I feel very lucky to have found her to care for our dog. It is not easy to leave a senior dog, but she was well loved and I am thankful for that!!”

“Micaela is fantastic! Very communicative and professional. Highly recommend.”

“Chelsea is fantastic - she stepped in at the last minute when my previous sitter fell through and gave Bodie excellent care while I was out of town. She is very responsive, communicative, attentive to details and went above and beyond during her stay - my house was cleaner than I left it and Bodie was very happy! I will definitely use her again and could not recommend Chelsea enough.”

About: I’m Chloe, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for pets of all kinds. I have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and truly enjoy walking, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. Pet care isn’t part of my everyday routine, but when I take on a booking, it becomes a priority. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure pets are fed, walked, exercised, and given attention according to their normal schedule. As well as extra love and snuggles, I love pets!!

About: I have taken dog training classes at the local animal shelter. I offer puppies plenty of time for teething tug-of-war and have tons of patience with the geriatric slow walkers. I work part time, close to home, which offers plenty of time for dog walking, drop ins and over night care. My hours are flexible. I would keep your dog safe on a leash and have a large crate if that would help them feel secure in a different environment.

“Gissell was very loving and obviously quite experienced. She bonded with my dog instantly. During her stay she also took him out for nice hikes and meeting new doggie friends. She is good with communication and sent pictures and clips of their hikes and beach visits. My dog likes her so much that the night after our return, he even went to the guest bedroom to look for her.”

“Krystina was the best and we will definitely be using her again!!! She stayed at our place with our boys and the house was spotless when we returned. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! She followed all of our instructions to the T! It was obvious she really cared. We highly recommend Krystina!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was a kid. From dogs and cats to birds and turtles. Animals have always been a magical part of my life. Weekly animals are a huge part of my life. From caring for my own, to walking dogs and watching animals while their families are away. We live in a neighborhood that is very close to lots of great trails for hiking. My dog Abby loves making friends as do my kids.

“Jessica took great care of our pup. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and familiarity with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving town knowing she was taking care of our 9 month old puppy. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
