Pet care experience

Lake Tahoe home away from home

I just love dogs! I grew up with dogs and have had dogs since I moved here to South Lake Tahoe in 2002. My husband and I raised our two daughters here along with dogs and cats. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs and fostered for 5 months. Recently I have become an empty nester and my pets have crossed the rainbow bridge. What better way to bring back that dog energy to my home by taking care of yours. I promise that your dog(s) will feel at home in my dog friendly home.

Doggy Day Care • May 17, 2026

Jessica was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of my dog while I attended a wedding away from home in Tahoe. She sent me multiple updates, took my dog for a walk and made my dog feel right at home! She was so quick to respond to my messages. She treated my dog like she was her own. 10/10 recommend Jessica to care for your pup!!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 12, 2026

I had a great experience with Jessica. She was always very attentive and kind, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing by sending photos regularly, which I really appreciated. She took my dog out for walks multiple times and made sure he was well cared for at all times. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving my dog with her, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 24, 2025

We traveled from San Francisco to go skiing in Lake Tahoe, and Jessica took amazing care of our dog, Angus. She is so good — she sent us photos and updates constantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took Angus on walks to beautiful scenic spots, and it was clear she treated her with so much love and care. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her. We will absolutely use Jessica’s service again whenever we have the chance. Thank you so much, Jessica!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a great dog friendly backyard that is fenced in with plenty of balls and toys and space to run. I have experience with all types of dogs: crate trained, our communicators (the barkers), old/young, little/large, loners, shy/friendly, and energy filled/chillers. Just let me know your routine and I will accommodate.

A typical day

Daily walks available and/or outdoor playtime in our large fenced yard. Bathroom breaks and fresh air every 2-4 hours. Cats of course will get indoor playtime.
