Dog Boarding Tahoe Vista

“Melissa is the best host for my dog Euler. He loved it there, and is bestie with her own dog. It feels like we’re giving him a treat by letting him stay with her”

“Jessica provided a loving environment for our dog with plenty of play time and nature hikes. We will definitely have our dog stay with Jessica again.”

About: Hello, I am a local who lives full time in Tahoe City. I've been a pet owner with both dogs and cats for the last 30+years. I am a mother of two grown children that are now off away at school. I work at the local elementary school with young children of special needs. I am a fun, caring and loving person who loves both animals and humans. I don't have any pets living with me so your pet would be the only one I would be caring for. I am free to take care of your pet most days, nights and some weekends. I work from home during the summer months so my schedule is always flexible. I currently live in a condo down the street from Lake Tahoe. There are numerous parks at the lake as well as many hiking trails to walk your dog at that are close by my place. I will always walk your dogs on a leash unless otherwise informed by owner to let run free in the woods and trails. I am very safe and responsible.

“I am so happy Charly got to stay with Kathy and her dog Gypsy. My dog Charly had a blast. Kathy was attentive to Charly's anxiety and made sure he ate and sent me plenty of pictures which made me so happy. I would definitely have Charly stay with Kathy again! Thanks Kathy!”

“Rayna was amazing boarding our elderly cat. She was communicative and worked with another third party transport to facilitate a cross country move.”

“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”

“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”

About: With over 20 years of personal experience in pet care and 3 years of professional expertise, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. As a passionate animal lover, I am committed to ensuring the well-being of your furry companions, including those with disabilities and elderly pets requiring specialized attention. . I have a full-time job that allows me to bring pets to the office, which has an excellent outdoor area for walks. If your pet is not comfortable in unfamiliar environments, I am more than willing to visit your home for a pleasant 30-minute walk. Additionally, I have Sundays and Mondays off, enabling me to spend the entire day with your pet at your home. I provide pet care in clients’ homes by following all instructions precisely, ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and comforted in their familiar environment. I maintain a clean space, respect property, and monitor pets’ health and behavior. Communication is key! I can provide timely updates and photos so clients feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Leaving your pet with someone is never easy, but Susan made me feel entirely comfortable from when we did our meet & greet! During my dog's stay, she sent lots of pictures and I could tell my pup was having the best time. Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future, as my experience with her was absolutely amazing!”

About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

“We were so happy to have found Gina and Erik to watch over Toby while we were traveling. They took excellent care of him. Thanks again. Mieke”

About: Compassionate and dependable animal caregiver with 5 years of hands on experience caring for four Goldendoodles and one Black Labrador. Skilled in providing daily care, including feeding, exercise, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, healthy environment. Experienced in managing multiple dogs at once, recognizing behavioral cues, and meeting each animal’s unique needs with patience and attention. Dedicated to promoting the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet while building trust with both animals and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I regularly go on runs, walks, hikes, paddle boarding trips, and swimming, and I would love to have a dog accompany me during those activities. Caring for pets would add structure and purpose to my day while also keeping me active and engaged. I also work full time as a medical assistant at Tahoe Forest Health System Monday through Thursday from 5:45 AM to 4:20 PM, so I really value making the most of my time outside of work. Having pet care responsibilities would be a great way for me to stay busy and active after my shifts or on my days off. Since I don’t have much family or many friends in the area, I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to build a bond with your pets. Spending time with them would not only keep them happy and exercised, but also keep me motivated, fulfilled, and connected throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision while in my care. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they feel safe and well cared for in their own environment. When I lived in Cameron Park, I cared for five dogs of my own and kept them all very active through daily walks, outdoor time, and structured routines. Since moving, I no longer have pets of my own due to limited space and financial stability, but my experience with multiple dogs has given me strong hands-on knowledge of managing different personalities and energy levels at once. This experience has helped me stay confident and attentive when caring for other people’s pets, and I treat every animal like they are my own while they are in my care.

“Both of our dogs had a great weekend at Megan’s house. We highly recommend her as a Rover and will definitely re-book her the next time we travel.”

About: We have taken care of animals all our lives and have a genuine love for each of them. We have experience with it all; new puppies and kittens, as well as older furry friends who may need special treatment and/or administering medication. Between the both of us, we always make it a priority to work with our pups with lots of playtime, exercise, training and socialization daily. We both are self employed and create our own schedules so we are flexible and work together to ensure our pets have an enjoyable & active day. We have a large dog-friendly fenced-in yard as well as amazing trails just outside our backdoor. Our Aussie-Border Collie mix, Penny is super friendly and submissive and gets along with everyone. She is super gentle when needed and can hold her own with larger dogs also. We have a very well socialized cat, Eleanor, who LOVES dogs and visitors.

“Ron was amazing worth my very nervous Jack Russell. I'm very particular because he's 13 and he had come home from other kennels not eating and stressed out. That isn't the case worth Ron's house. Ron stayed in touch and sent daily updates and pictures. Would ABSOLUTELY would use him again.”

“Gissell is amazing! I had to drop my dog McGee off around 5:15am on a Friday and she was already up and excited to meet McGee! She sent pics throughout the day and I found out that he likes doing yoga! Thank you Gissell for your time! I hope to have him visit again soon.”

Marc P.

“Patty and Randy provided an excellent boarding experience for our dog Cookie! We had no hesitations from the moment we dropped Cookie off and saw how excited she was to see Patty and Randy's dogs who she had met the week before for a meet and greet. During Cookie's stay we were so happy to receive videos and pictures which confirmed that she was having a great time. Patty also reached out during Cookie's stay to ask us some questions to ensure she understood Cookie's habits and needs. We are so happy to have found Patty and Randy to board Cookie and thank them, BellaMae, Bizu, and Bindi Lou for the time, attention, and fun play they provided Cookie to ensure she felt secure, relaxed, and happy during her visit. It is so appreciated!!”
