Wanted: Pups for Tahoe Adventures

I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 28, 2026

Rachel was incredibly thoughtful and attentive with our dog. Before his stay, she took the time to ask lots of questions about him and his needs, which helped ensure he would be as comfortable as possible. Our dog can be shy, but he seemed so relaxed and happy when he came home. Additionally, Rachel was incredibly responsive throughout our pup’s stay and took a bunch of great pictures, which we loved! 10/10 would recommend Rachel— would definitely book again!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 09, 2026

Thank you Rachel for the great communication! Both drop off and pick up went super smooth. Our dog, Leila, looked like she had a great time with you! Thank you for sending those sweet pictures of walks and fun play time with your doggie, Ellie. We will definitely request to have Leila stay with you again. :)

Rachel was great and very attentive to my dog who has some separation anxiety, especially with it being a holiday, I really appreciate the care she gave him!

Safety, trust & environment

Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Are they well socialized with other dogs? Can they hike off-leash in the woods? How is their recall?
