WFH & Tahoe Adventures ❤️

Want to give your pup a premium mountain vacation? I work from home full-time as a cybersecurity engineer on an early schedule. Raising my girls (a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever) means I’m entirely confident handling all breeds, sizes, and high-energy working dogs. I live a super active lifestyle, so if your pup loves runs, hikes, and long walks, they will be living their absolute best life with me! I pride myself on offering a custom setup for every dog depending on their personality. Social pups are always welcome to join the pack and play with my two friendly resident girls. However, if your dog is shy, selective, or reactive, they will get VIP treatment in my private/attached guest suite. They’ll get the exact same love, walks, and attention, just in a completely separate, stress-free space. Because we do list this suite on Airbnb, its availability can fluctuate, so let me know early if your pup will need it!

Boarding • jul. 06, 2026

Stephanie was just the best!! I have a 7month old puppy with lots of energy and she took the best care of him, he got to meet and play with new dog friends and go on walks, and she updated me with pictures throughout the day that brought me a great peace of mind! This was my first time using Rover and Stephanie made it such a pleasant experience!! I needed a last minute reservation and she made it happen for me on the busiest day of the year!! Stephanie was so good with Amos!!

Stephanie,was absolutely wonderful with Uzy. They provided excellent care, communicated perfectly, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I can tell my pup was incredibly happy and well-loved. I will definitely book them again and highly recommend their services!

Stephanie was great with both my golden and husky. She was a fantastic communicator and kept in touch throughout the day. My girls were comfortable and I had peace of mind. Will use her again the next time we are up and need doggie care. Highly recommend!!

Stephanie and her partner were such amazing pet sitters for Honey, a 6 month old puppy. Her own pups welcomed her into their crew and the fun started right away. I got a text with pictures a few minutes after I left their house the first day, and saw pictures of Honey having fun. I received many wonderful pics both days we booked, and they were so so accommodating with last minute requests . Stephanie is quick with text responses. Honey came home so tired and based on the pics, had a ton of fun. I know she was well cared for because she walked right in the second day. I highly recommend Stephanie if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter while in South Lake Tahoe. We will be back !
