Availability

My house is large and sits on a fully fenced, half-acre yard. My home is conveniently located right off the main road when you first get into town, which makes pick ups and drop offs a breeze. Dogs get full range of the house or can have their own cozy, private room if anxious. Dogs are allowed on furniture unless owners have specific rules. I will accommodate your requests. My yard has plenty of toys and so much space to run around or play fetch in. I also enjoy going on daily, long walks, so your pup will receive exercise.

My boy was obviously very comfortable staying with Melissa and her dog Obi. I had confidence that he would be fine there for the two nights I was leaving him. He also stayed with them for more days another time and he was very excited to come back. I think he is a pawty dog!

Thank you Melissa for taking such good care of our fur babies! You made us feel at ease leaving them in your care overnight, we were able to go out and enjoy ourselves without worrying about our Bella & Daisy! We will definitely book with you again if we need a sitter in South Lake Tahoe! Thank you to Obi as well for sharing his space! ❤️
