Paw Prints in My Garden🐾🐾🐾🐾

Right off I‑80 heading toward Tahoe, our cozy, pet‑friendly home is a safe and eco‑minded haven where animals can unwind and have fun. I grew up on a cattle ranch, always surrounded by animals, and that upbringing taught me to put pets at the center of everything I do. After years of helping friends and neighbors with their pets, I officially launched my pet‑sitting business through Rover.com. Our household includes Miss Molly, our sweet rescue dog, and Ms. Martha Stewart, our playful orange tabby who proudly believes she’s one of the pups. They love welcoming new furry friends into the mix. My promise is simple: your pets will be cared for with the same love, attention, and safety I give my own.

Kim was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Munchy! She sent great photos and updates throughout the stay, which completely put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. It was so clear to us that Munchy loved being there and was in the best possible hands. We felt we could truly trust Kim, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended

Kim was absolutely delightful with our Cookie. She graciously accommodated our last minute day trip and watched over her. Cookie thoroughly enjoyed her time with Kim and her furry companions. Kim kept us updated with pictures of our girl. She even gave us with an adorable goodie bag filled with treats and a photo of our pup beaming with joy. We will certainly be reaching out to Kim again for any future needs regarding our dog.

Kim was wonderful to Tubby! It's obvious that she truly loves and understands dogs, and her home and yard provided a lovely environment for Tubby's little vacation! Kim did a superb job of communicating with us both before and during Tubby's stay. We didn't have a moment's anxiety about leaving her with Kim, and look forward to future opportunities for Tubby to go on vacation there! Thank you SO much, Kim.

Schedule

Alongside my full‑time career in the event industry, I’ve built a life centered on cooking, gardening, and natural nutrition—not just for myself, but for my furry companions as well. Creating a healthy, joyful environment for pets is at the heart of everything I do. I’m currently working on a cookbook featuring native plants and dream of opening a street‑side Pup & Plant Bistro, where good food and happy pets come together. The best part of my fur‑friendly home is its location—right off I‑80, perfectly convenient for families traveling to or from Tahoe. 💜🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I own a home right off I‑80 toward Tahoe with a large fenced yard and garden—perfect for pets to roam, play, and chase squirrels. Guests enjoy outdoor fun with tennis balls, frisbees, and plenty of space to run, or sing‑along car rides when the weather calls for adventure. Inside, newer central heat and air, ceiling fans, and a fireplace make downtime just as comfortable. Whether lounging on the couch or catching a “Lucky Dog” episode, your furry companions will feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.

Pets

A typical day

I have a larger yard where hanging out, playing, chasing, rolling around, and watching the squirrels is always lovely. As well as doggy walks to one of the many nearby parks, it is a must!
