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. 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 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!

Stephanie was such a huge help and so kind to our older dogs who need extra care. One of them was sick and a different sitter bailed last minute. Stephanie handled our pups and some challenging situations like a champ in an urgent situation while we arranged travel home. So appreciative of her kindness and gentleness with our animal fam!

Stephanie took extra care with our dogs and their unique care situations and asked good questions when she wasn’t sure about how we do things. She was great with our older dogs and our cat!

Stephanie did a great job. She kept in contact with me, mastered my pup’s temperament, took him for a long hikes! He came home happy and tired. We will definitely use her again.

Stephanie took great care of our dog while we were out of town traveling. She was mindful of his unique needs, and provided regular updates and photos. We felt very comfortable with the care she provided, and appreciate the efforts she made to ensure he had exercise and attention while we were away.

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.
