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.

“Vanya and Sean were so wonderful! They have a great house with a fenced in back yard that my dog loved. Vanya sent texts and picture updates. We would absolutely leave our dog with them again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Julio’s care for our two dogs while we were away for over a week. He was incredibly caring, providing us with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. It was especially reassuring to see how much our dogs liked him. We are so grateful to have had someone so reliable and thoughtful looking after them. Highly recommend Julio to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Laura was very nice to take my last minute request. She sent me daily updates and photos and assured me my dog was doing well. Lastly, she allowed a very late night pick up when my return flight was delayed. All in all, I'm very happy with her service! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Mari stayed at Ron's house for 2 weeks while we were abroad - the worst part of vacation is leaving your dog behind, but Ron sent us daily photo and videos of Mari playing with Lexi and getting a lot of TLC. She genuinely seemed happy and comfortable. We enjoyed these updates so much and it helped put our minds at ease. Again, we highly recommend Ron to watch your doggo kiddo! Thanks Ron & Lexi!”

“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.”
“Oh my gosh! Susan’s home was the BEST for my two puppies. They were so well loved, and came home stress free. My first choice whenever I need a sitter for the pups! Thank you, Susan, for giving them a second home while we were away!”
“I'm always nervous when someone new watches our little girl Riley, but Patty and Randy made us feel at ease as soon as we dropped Riley off. Love that its only small dogs as that is so hard to find (especially near South Lake Tahoe). Great communication and just lovely people all around - highly recommend!”
“My doggo is like family to Kelly and Juneau. I really appreciate the patience Kelly had with working with Skipper, it gives me so much peace of mind when I go away.”
