Dog Boarding in Tahoe City

“Melissa is the best. We are so grateful we found her to take our pup. Tootsie always comes home happy and well taken care of. Melissa makes it so easy to leave her knowing she is in great hands.”

“We left our beloved Poodle and Airedale plus another Poodle we were babysitting while we were at a destination wedding in Tahoe. This was a difficult decision for us as our dogs have never ever been left with someone else. We couldn't have been more happy. Beautiful home, Beautiful yard and loving care. My dogs, while confused, were instantly at ease. Kathy sent pictures and updates though out the dogs stay. It was easy on us and easy on the dogs. I would recommend Kathy in a second and if I have the chance to go to tahoe again, I would use her again in a second. The best picture was the two standard poodles sitting with her on her couch one on the left and one on the right. Thanks again Kathy.”

“Christie was super responsive and booking was easy. Chewie had a great visit and came home tired and happy! Will definitely use Christie again.”

“Awesome. Very happy pup and great communication. Will use again”

“Trusting a stranger with your pet is the worst! but he is one to trust, I give him 5 stars for all the updates during my dogs stay an photos.. I can tell my pup was stress fee on pick up & was quick to get comfortable with Gabriel on drop off !”

“Dingo is a senior dog and has a few special requirements with medications etc. Aaron handled all of this excellently and we loved to get the pictures of what Dingo was up to each day! Thanks for taking great care of Dingo”

About: I have grown up my entire life alongside dogs, both large and small (10 lbs to 100+ lbs). I have had two labrador retrievers myself. I also served as the head caretaker for Georgetown University's bulldog mascot, which required full professional training. I am flexible, reliable, and caring and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am currently working feel home and have flexibility during the week to host your pet at my house for daily sitting or overnight stays. I take the utmost care for a clients space when dog sitting, respecting all guidelines, over communicating as needed, and leaving the space as if I was never there each time. Your dog can rest or have playtime to get its energy out.

“Jessica and Adam are absolutely wonderful! I felt so comfortable leaving my little pumpkin with them. I will absolutely book with them again when in the area!”

“We had just relocated to Madison with our 12 year old dog, Bobbysox, and needed to find a relaxed home environment for him while we were gone over the holidays. I can't say enough great things about Patty and Randy! They were easy to meet with and set up drop off and pick up. I left Bobs feeling so good about how he would be pampered and loved on. They were great caretakers when Bobs wasn't eating regularly or acting like himself. I worked with Patty on a vet visit and she made sure Bobs got his ear infection meds while he was in her care. It was so hard to be away from him, especially with the vet visit but Patty and Randy took absolute top-quality care of Bobs and I have no doubt, we will be visiting again!”

“This is our second time we have had Teeda watch our pup Bronson. She is very attentive and knowledgeable. Kept us updated with photos regularly. He loves it there. Always comes home exhausted and happy.”

“Dain and Jade were excellent hosts for our pup, Karma, and their 3 dogs are absolute best play mates (also their Chihuahua is the cutest dog you'll ever see). Even though the stay was short, Karma came home a tired girl which is more than we could ask for. 10/10 would absolutely recommend :)”

“Fantastic. Nettie is very good with dogs and my Tilly probably got more attention and exercise that could give her. I've learned that Nettie hikes daily, so if your dog loves to hike, Nettie is the one, plus the absolute love your dog will receive. She has a nice backyard, so there's plenty of room for running around.”

“Gina & Erik are great! Pepper (our cattle dog) warms up slowly to new people. Gina immediately understood, and allowed her to take her time. Gina texted us photos and updates on how things were going, and it was pretty quickly clear that they were getting along great. Pepper clearly had a great time, with plenty of couch-snuggling, belly rubs, and walks. She also got to make some new dog friends. She was completely at-home at Gina & Erik's when we picked her up. Gina & Erik clearly get dogs. I highly recommend them!”

“This sitter was amazing. Very accommodating and responded to messages quickly. My cat really enjoyed his stay and seemed very comfortable. I would rebook with them again.”

“I couldn’t be more grateful to know Melissa and her pup Obi!! My experience working with her was phenomenal in every way from start to finish. I reached out to her last minute for a night of boarding and she got back to me almost immediately. Her energy is kind, calm, and caring. She was communicative, sent photos and updates through out Coyote’s stay. The updates she sent were detailed and gave me SUCH peace of mind. She even printed out a photo of my pup for me to take home! Melissa went above and beyond in every way she could. I will certainly be a returning client. If you’re considering her, look no further! You’ve found the best gal for the job!”

“Boomer had a great time with Christina and her family. She sent pics of him while he was in her care which made us feel even more comfortable leaving him. We would definitely leave him with Christina again.”

“Luke was so amazing! I had a last minute cancellation from a Dogsitter and Luke came to the rescue! He was very responsive and he was able to meet us in just a few hours. I got frequent updates and he was very attentive to my spoiled pup. Luke was nice enough to stay up late to make sure I got my boy before bedtime. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Payton was great! Took wonderful care of our puppy Theo for the evening. Very responsive, great communication, made the booking process easy. Wouldn't hesitate to contact her again for puppy sitting. Thank you, Payton!”

“Gina and her husband are wonderful! Charlie loves playing with Domingo and they send photos and videos every day. Would definitely book with then again!”

“Heather took such wonderful care of our high energy boy—taking him for daily adventures, providing lots of comfy cuddles, and coddling his whining while he was anxious. She even took the time to work with him on the heel command. I think he probably had more fun in Tahoe than we did this weekend!”
