Pet care experience
A boutique pet boarding experience for dogs who thrive in a family environment and love forest adventures. With 29 years of pet care experience, including 11 years of running my own professional dog walking and pet sitting business in Portland, Oregon, I'm very intuitive to animal needs and well versed in animal behavior and holistic pet health. I grew up hanging out in my aunt’s animal hospital and thought one day I would be a veterinarian. Instead, my focus turned to wildlife and I eventually earned a degree in biology with a focus on wildlife research. Between then I never lost my love for small animals and spent time working for an outdoor adventure dog camp, an animal massage school, working at a few holistic pet supply stores where I honed my pet nutrition knowledge, and eventually created a successful dog walking and pet sitting business. I love to encourage good manners and inspire confidence when I care for pets. If you have certain techniques or words you’d like me to use I am more than happy to accommodate. I am also happy to share my wisdom and techniques if you would like advice. I have found that when pets get enough exercise, understand boundaries, and are rewarded for good behavior, they are much happier and have fewer behavioral issues which makes everyone happier! Since moving to Tahoe in 2015, the scope of my professional career shifted and my main focuses are now on being a wellness consultant, herbalist, and plant medicine maker. My husband and I recently moved from Truckee to Sierraville with our baby boy Levi, our kitty Sage Hazelwood and our Catahoula-Great Dane mix Kiddo. Even though I have occasionally pet sat since living here, I have grown to miss interacting with different dogs and cats regularly and want to offer my services once again! Thank you for taking your time to learn about me and look forward to learning about you and your pets! -Tasha I'm a full-time toddler mom and work from home so I’m usually available! I’m flexible with spontaneous bookings and will let you know my availability ASAP. We have an acre to run around on and nearby forest trails. Inside the house is cozy & open and your dog will get lots of love & affection from our family.
Reviews
Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!
Really great experience, my pup had the best time. They have a great lawn to run around on, a fun toddler and dog of their own to keep your dog entertained. Highly reccomended.
Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.
Tasha was totally awesome with our dog. She was a very happy dog when we got her back. Would definitely use her again. Plan on it in the future. Thanks Tasha

I live on an unfenced acre in Sierra County surrounded by wildlife and mountain forest vibes. If your dog struggles with recall or prey drive, I can use leashes and my husband can put up our cable runner/pulley so that they can still enjoy running around in the yard with boundaries.

Information Tasha Rose B. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have good recall? Our land is unfenced and there is lots of wildlife in our forests. We can always stay on leash or use a long tie-up outside if recall is so-so. How is your dog around cats? Our kitty lives outside. What is your dog's experience with small children? Our toddler is as dog-savvy as can be, and loves to play with the dogs who are interested. How is your dog with other dogs? Our old man is big, but grew up with chiuahuas so he's good with all sizes. What is your dog's energy level and daily exercise needs? We go on one big walk in the forest everyday, and generally lounge at home the rest of the time. Does your dog have any behaviors, quirks, or needs to be aware of and how do you usually resolve or tend to them?
A typical day
We'll go for a hike in our special secret spots in the Tahoe forest where there are creeks to swim and play fetch in. At home, we'll spend time in the yard on our grassy acre under the trees and the dogs can drink fresh water from the stream running through the backyard. When it's time to chill, we'll cuddle up inside and lounge in the living room.

I work part-time on Thursdays and Fridays and full-time at home with my 4yo the rest of the days. My husband is also home Monday through Wednesday and often finds himself playing with and loving our dog guests just as much as me and our son do.
