Doggy Day Care in Washoe City

“Megan was great! She is very professional, is clearly comfortable with dogs, and has thoughtfully created a safe place for dogs to hang out when they are with her. I felt very comfortable leaving my furry friend with her, and would definitely work with her again. Thank you!”

“Shawn took our Mousse for a very nice walk, and she napped the rest of the day! She came home happy and tired - a good day at doggy day care. We will back!”

“I don't think there are enough words to express how grateful I am for the care and support Young provided while watching my puppy. Saint is a large hunting breed - and a puppy - so he's full of energy and requires a ton of attention. Despite typically only watching smaller dogs, Young was kind enough to step in and help when I REALLY needed it (on move-in day... during a blizzard... on a Monday). That alone meant the world to me. Throughout the stay, he kept me updated with thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures - even if Saint made it nearly impossible to get a clear shot (darn puppy lol). Still, it was obvious that my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. There's nothing more relieving than knowing that someone is putting genuine care into your loved one - especially for anxious moms like me! I really appreciate the empathy, flexibility, and patience shown - especially since not everyone would take on a situation like this. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, I can't recommend Young enough. He even has a fun website where you can check in, view high-quality photos to download, and see all the cute pups who have been under his care. And if you're curious about his setup, he's got tons of yard space, an additional courtyard, SO MANY TOYS, and even more treats lol. This is clearly a huge passion of his, and it's comforting to know his heart is in the right place. Thank you again, Young!!”

“Melissa went above and beyond for our little guy. She was so sweet with him, and in coordinating the pickup, she went out of her way to accommodate us. Our dog left a happy pup.”

About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was 5 years old, so I have about 17 years of personal experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. Despite the experience being personal, I am professional, calm, and work extremely well with animals. It is important to me to be their voice when they aren't listened to, and to provide help in any way I can, as I know that life can be very busy, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't make time to take care of those that take care of us. Animals always love unconditionally and provide unwavering support in all ways, so I'm here to give that to them, and to take some of the stress off your shoulders when you have to give your time elsewhere. Services: Daily Walks Food, water, and treats as directed by pet parent Playtime :) fetch, frisbee, catch/chase- anything they like to do! House Sitting and Drop-in visits Give medication or maintenance care if needed. Light Grooming like coat brushing and baths. Take to Vet appointments, Dog Park, or other errands related to your pets. (Depending on distance, gas, time and price negotiation for those factors) Energy Healing ☆ please ask me for more information if interested :) I work from home and set my own schedule, so I'm available to care for the animals and spend time with them throughout the day. We go on daily walks, and hikes on the trails several times during the week. There's space in the backyard to play, run around, and go potty when needed. I will actively keep you updated during the entire stay, and send lots of pictures. I will stick to the routine you have for your pet, and make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I treat every animal with respect and as if they are my own- with lots of patience, understanding, love, kindness, and empathy. I do my best to understand their temperament so I can cater to their specific needs in order for us to gradually build trust at their own pace.

About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.

“Jiggy came home tired and slept soundly for the rest of the day — I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you!!”

About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals but I adore having dogs company! I have two furry friends for them to play with as well! I currently work from home full-time I do leave for errands but it gives me plenty of time to love and play with your doggies! I have a large unfenced yard to play in, close to walking trails, and a neighbor with two friendly Aussies who love to play as well

“Chelsea takes such good care of our puppy! Rue and Goose are best friends and she always comes home worn out from playing all day! Rue is so excited to stay with Chelsea for the day. Chelsea has been very flexible with our schedule and we appreciate her so much!”

“Jessica is great! She was Storm’s first dog sitter, and she truly went above and beyond. Excellent communication and positive attitude. I was impressed by her creativity and commitment to keep a very curious and energetic Husky safe, occupied, and feeling loved. Storm and I both have a new friend in Jessica☺️”

About: I have lived in Tahoe for 25 years and always had my own dog and watched over my friend's dogs throughout the years. My best friend (Maggie - Retriever) passed away 18 months ago and I watch many of my friend's dogs frequently, including an elderly short hair retriever that is battling pancreatic cancer. I work from home and board my friend's dogs as well as check in and walk dogs when owners need help. I do have a number of recent references. I have worked from home for 25 years. I am very active and walk frequently. I am an early morning riser and monitor how often dogs need a walk or outside break. Pets are a part of my daily routine. My home: I have beds set up and recognize different doggy routines, ie need to go on the porch for sun, or need to go out for a break and walk. I have a section on my porch and in the laundry area for their food and water and a special area where I organize all the food, medication, leaches, doggy bags. I have a place by my couches with a large basket with balls, toys and stuffed doggy animals. I watch a number of my friend's dogs, and each has a unique and special routine and they have all come to trust me a look forward to visiting. I stay a bit at some of my friend's houses if they want me to help with house watch, plants, delivery receipt and other home needs while they are traveling and away on extended trips.

“Jessica is fantastic! She made sure to arrange for our dog Andrey to meet their dog before doing daycare/boarding in order to make sure the pooches would get along happily, and they sure did. Their dog Cap is a cutie! Jessica took great care of Andrey, giving him lots of attention and supervising his happy playtime with Cap. Her home is an excellent environment, and she took Andrey on nice long walk as well. He came home happy, healthy, and tired, just like we'd hoped. I highly recommend Jessica to entrust with your pooch.”

“Groot had a lovely time with Missy and Kyle! We received photos throughout the day, and our pup was super tired when we brought him home. He had a fun play day and we were confident that he was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you so much!”
