Safety, trust & environment

I can easily accommodate your pets needs, whatever they may be. My house is located on a quiet residential street where I can easily walk your pets around the block as much as needed or access the Donner Rim Trail or other nearby trails for hikes. Dogs are usually not left alone in my home, but we keep a tidy and safe house just in case to make sure your pets are as safe as possible. I’ll make sure to familiarize your pets to everything in the house and keep an eye on anything you mention to make sure they’re most comfortable.

Information Payton L. would like to know about your pet

I can cater to your dogs needs whatever they may be, but good information to have would be how they react to other people and animals, if there’s anything that really aggravates them, if they have any medical requirements, what kind of daily exercise they are used to, if they are prone to chewing or shredding belongings, and if/how long they can be left unattended (not that I would plan to for long).

A typical day

I like to stimulate the dogs who stay with me physically and mentally. If you have any tricks or training you’re working on, I’d love to keep that going with your dog! I usually take dogs staying with me out every 2-3 hours for a quick potty break depending on their needs and walk around my neighborhood to enjoy some smells, and then do longer walks at the beginning and end of day after meals. If needed, I’ll do a midday or afternoon longer stretch of hiking/walking on the trails by my house, or fetch if your dog enjoys that. If you provide any toys like puzzles, tug, or bones I’ll also make sure your dog gets some of those every day. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large and safe deck in the sun that pets in my home usually love to hang out on.

Pets

Care that makes pups feel at home!

Pet care experience

My partner and I both work from home in Tahoe Donner with our new border collie puppy Penny. We have cared for and loved many types of dogs over the years, and I feel confident we can make your pups time away from you feel just as fun and loving as your home with play time, training sessions, and time to explore outside.

Sierra had a wonderful time and Peyton and her Penny made it possible. We would love to have Sierra stay with Peyton again

Payton was absolutely amazing and my pup loved staying with her. She was exhausted after all the fun she had! Thanks Payton!
