WFH & Tahoe Adventures ❤️
Want to give your pup a premium mountain vacation? I work from home full-time as an engineer on an early schedule, meaning I'm up with the sun and ready for early morning drop-offs. 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 absolute 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 definitely let me know early if your pup will need it! Whether your dog needs a high-energy mountain buddy or a cozy, safe space to relax, I’d love to welcome them over.

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie took wonderful care of our dog, Benny. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. She even took him on a hike, and it was clear he had a great time. Thanks to her excellent communication and care, we were able to enjoy Lake Tahoe completely worry-free. Highly recommend!
stephanie was great. sent us tons of pictures and our dog seemed to really enjoy his stay there. our dog has a lot of energy and she managed him well
Stephanie did a great job taking care of my dog Kobe for 3 days. She checked in with me multiple times per day to share photos and updates on how Kobe was doing. Another thing I appreciate was that Stephanie proactively took Kobe, who is very active, on a 3.5 mile walk on the 2nd day of his stay. I felt at ease knowing my dog was having a good time and getting exercise.
Stephanie is a lifesaver! We booked super last minute same day. She constantly updated us and sent photos. Definitely can tell that Goody was spoiled with a lot of love and also played with new friends. We will have Stephanie watch Goody again the next time we visit Tahoe.
Levi had a great stay with Stephanie! Make sent lots of pictures and he came back very happy!
Stephanie was awesome. We got text updates throughout the day so we had peace of mind that our little guys was ok. I would definitely book with her again.

Schedule
As far as routine goes, I work from home on an early schedule, so my days naturally revolve around the pups. Since I wrap up work early, my afternoons are open for hikes and adventures around Tahoe. Whether your dog is acting as my office assistant or joining me for a trail run, they'll blend right into my routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pup becomes part of the family here! My fiancé and I work from home full-time, offer total schedule flexibility, and have a fully fenced backyard for safe zoomies and playtime. If your dog is shy, reactive, or just prefers their own space, they can stay in my private, attached guest suite! They'll get the exact same love, potty breaks, and trail adventures, just completely separate from my two dogs. Note: We do list the suite on Airbnb, so availability fluctuates—just let me know early if your pup will need it!
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes outdoor adventures and brain games! Since I'm super active, your pup can join me for long neighborhood walks, trail runs, and hikes around Tahoe. When we're hanging out at home, I love keeping them mentally stimulated and entertained with puzzles and fun enrichment toys.
