Lake Tahoe home away from home

Pet care experience

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.

My pups loved staying with Jessica! Her home was perfect for the dogs with dog beds and a big backyard. She sent pictures of the dogs and they were happy and having fun! I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely have my dogs stay with her again. She currently doesn’t have any dogs of her own which was great for my older dog who can be grumpy around new dogs.

Jessica was wonderful, she took great care of Oliver. He had an amazing time playing in their backyard, running to find and chase all the balls/toys. I appreciated all the updates, great communication and flexibility with the drop off due to last minute changes. I would definitely recommend Jessica & her husband as a great place for your pup to stay, play and be cared for. Puppy Vacay! Thank you.

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!
