Doggy Day Care in Ponderosa Palisades

“Melissa was fantastic! Our puppy loved her immediately which is always a good sign :) Melissa was super communicative, flexible and went above and beyond. She even shampooed our dogs paws after their outing together! I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll definitely be calling her again when we are back for another visit.”

“Kathy took excellent care of our husky mix, Coco while we went skiing for the day. It was clear from the way that her own dog was cared for and the way that Coco was immediately at ease in her home, that she was warm and caring. She was easy to communicate with and flexible when we changed the drop off time. She sent some photos during the day - we will definitely contact Kathy again next time we are up for a day at Sugar Bowl !”

Mary S.

“Ashley took great care of my dog while I had a ski day! She took him out for a snowshoeing hike and they settled down for cuddles afterwards. Would definitely recommend Ashley as a sitter!”

“Luke did an awesome job watching our Mini Aussie! We were in the are for the day skiing at Palisades Tahoe as a stop on our road trip, and Luke helped us out so we could have some time to ski away from the pup. We got updates and videos, and he even took our dog for a long walk. Highly recommend, his training skills are great and super convenient location, great communication.”

“Our pup was in daycare with Brad for 3 days. She had the best time going on long walks, playing with other dogs and getting all the attention. She couldn’t wait to go again the next day. Brad is very responsive, responsible, and caring. He made sure to accommodate all our requests, and sent a lot of photos and videos to put our minds at ease. We really loved our experience with Brad and will definitely rebook next time we’re in town.”

Ivanna V.

“Malea was fantastic! She’s accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She was timely and quickly engaged my dogs so they were happy to follow her anywhere. They were so well cared for that they were totally relaxed after we returned. We’ll definitely call on her again. Ellie J.”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for over 25 years and have been pet sitting for nearly as long. I have over 10 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and have ample experience with administering medications of all kinds—your fur baby’s needs are my top priority! Goose and I lead a very active lifestyle—we walk multiple times daily and spend our weekends out enjoying all that Tahoe has to offer. We always welcome adventure buddies and would love it if your pup wants to be our +1 on our next adventure! I currently work from home 3 days a week. For Tahoe Donner residents, I can take your pup for a midday stroll during the work week (M, T, F). For all other Truckee folks I am available in the evenings on the days listed above and any time on the weekends. When I am spending time with your pup their safety and happiness is my number one priority. Unless a group walk is requested, they will receive one-on-one attention and affection. Working on training or need a brush up on on-leash manners? Ask me about training walks!

“Ashlee was great, very conscientious of our puppy’s first experience with being left with a sitter, she was kind hearted and loving towards her and did her best to make her feel welcome and at home while we were away. Ashlee’s place is well suited for animals with lots of space, a large fenced in yard, and plenty of entertainment.”

“Skyline is wonderful with my senior golden and takes her on fun outings! My girl Lucy has her own mini vacation while with Skyline! She sends me many updates, photos and videos and I know my Lucy is having a blast! Thanks again, Skyline and we will be back later in the season. Maureen”

Not only was she flexible on pick up time to accommodate Sunday traffic from the mountain, but she’s extremely responsive and easy to reach, perfect caretaker for your fur baby.

About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.
