“Kelly is AMAZING. She dog-sat my 3 month old puppy Layla and did a fantastic job. Layla didn't even want to leave at the end of the day. Kelly took the time to do a meet and greet and took lots of notes. She took Layla to a fenced in yard and played with her for hours. She gives all of her attention to her client which i really appreciated.”

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog sitter for over 8 years. I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to care for their dog from small to large. I take many walks throughout the day and have a large fenced in yard so your pup will get plenty of exercise! I work remote and have the flexibility needed to care full time for dogs. I live in a large home with a fenced in yard. I have plenty of space for overnight pets. Wirh a large yard and close to walking trails, your pup will have plenty of play time.
“We had a last minute request going through town to watch our 7 month old lab mix. Melissa was extremely responsive, flexible, and kind. We will book with her again next time we’re in South Lake!”

“Raluca took great care of our dog Siggy while we hit the slopes. Our dog is very energetic and she handled him with care making sure he got plenty of walks and was not left unattended. Will use her anytime we are in Tahoe again!! Happy holidays”

“Bingsoo has the best day with Marcelo and played all afternoon with his friendly dog, Chascas. He sent updates and pictures throughout the day as well, which we really loved seeing.”

“Tim T. is amazing! He got us out of a real bind. We were away from home for a wedding. We found out the day before the wedding that we could not leave our dogs in our hotel room. By some miracle, Tim happened to be available with less than a day notice. He picked up our dogs at the hotel. Usually one of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people. We were nervous but Tim is some sort of dog whisperer! In no time at all, the dogs were in his car and off for a day of fun. They spent the day taking a drive, then a hike, and then relaxing in the lap of luxury at Tim's house. We got photos throughout the day and it was obvious that Tim was the dogs' new favorite person. We were able to enjoy the wedding stress free. Tim returned the dogs to us late at night. It couldn't have been easier. Our only regret is that we live too far away to make Tim our regular sitter. If he's available, don't hesitate! We'd give Tim more stars if we could!”

“Emily provides a safe and comfortable environment for our pup plus a nice backyard to play in. We can always tell how well our pup is cared for when we make a return visit and he runs to the front door wagging his tail. Great communication and sharing of updates, definitely will use her again when we visit South Tahoe.”

“Friendly, timely in communication. And even took my dog out for a walk and played fetch with her. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for my for a place to drop off your dog if skiing Heavenly.”

About: Growing up with animals gave me a special appreciation and gratitude for all fur babies. I’ve cared for many animals throughout my life. I even lived on an animal sanctuary for a year and half tending to rescued farm animals. At home we have a three friendly and happy cheweenies, all the more to guarantee your pup will be worn out and feel at home ◡̈ I currently work remotely full time from home, therefore I have an open schedule. I’m an earlier riser 6:30am and hit the pillow around 9:30/10pm. I’m available and happily willing to take care of your fur babies within the comforts of their own home. Whether they’re just needing a few pets, feedings, plays, cuddles, beach visits or hikes I’m your guy.
“Stephanie is amazing! Our 10month old husky puppy, Lumi, had an amazing time with her and her very well behaved dogs. I had to reach out to Stephanie on very short notice, and she was more than accommodating! I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future!”

“Patty & Randy were perfect dog sitters for Beckham. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Beckham is usually a little shy, but he adapted quickly to their beautiful environment and their other three small dogs. We look forward to using their services again. It was a comfort to know he was in loving hands.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was less than 10 years old, and have had my current dog Sandy for about 6 years. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds- puppies to seniors, healthy to serious health concerns, I’ve done it all! I am a work from home teacher, so even during the weekday I am home for the majority of the day. My dog Sandy and I usually spend the day playing in the backyard, relaxing on the couch, or playing with her toys. My work schedule is not demanding, and I have summers off, so I have all the time to spend with your pups. I live in a 2 story duplex with just myself, my 10 year old friendly dog Sandy, and my fiance Austin (who also loves dogs!). The backyard is fenced and is shared by the other family in the duplex. Sandy usually roams free in the home, but we can crate in the home if necessary.
About: Pets are family, deserving of quality time and care. I've personally cared for more than 20 animals in my lifetime, including my own pets, foster pets, and pets of friends and family. Each pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care so that they feel safe and secure. My home is a clean, quiet space, across from a beautiful walking trail. My two kids are experienced with animals and have a firm grasp of boundaries. I have a single cat who was brought up with a small dog. He likes his space but has been known to warm up to visitors fairly quickly. In our home animals are loved, respected, and valued. Your fur baby will be part of the family when they are with me. I am an independent contractor, so I set my own hours. I make your pet my priority when they are in my care. If your pet is happy to go for a ride they can even join me during my day to day activities! As a cat mom, keeping a pet safe home is important to me. If your pet is crate trained they will have a calm quiet space with music for their rest time. For exercise I am happy to take them for a walk on a nearby trail, or down to the beach for some water play (and will happily bathe them after). I would adhere to your feeding schedule, and with permission will use treats as positive reinforcement. If a pet needs bathing I am happy to do so, as long as they don't have any soap allergies (I use Burts Bees). I can also provide brushing, and nail trimming for cooperative pets who are comfortable being handled. Items that I request be provided by the parent are a harness, leash, personal bedding (for their comfort), treats of choice, food of choice, and your pets favorite toy.

About: Hello! I’m a lifetime dog owner. I have two 10 year old dogs Arcata and Izzy and one girlfriend Chelcee. The four of us love to hike, walk, go backpacking, camping or just hang at the house. We would be happy to have another fur ball or two join our adventures. Or perhaps just be a couch potato like our dog Izzy. Whatever they prefer you can be sure we will provide a safe and fun environment. We have a large dog door and a decent sized clean backyard where our dogs love to sun bathe. I work from home giving me the availability to be present with all the fur babies. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with a stranger. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet has a great time. Please reach out with any of your questions or concerns. Thanks! I’m a full-time online student working two flexible hour jobs. I’m usually doing homework in our small cozy home where I can be present with our guest(s) at all times. Our backyard is fenced in with a large dog door. We keep a clean tidy home with a fun easy going atmosphere. Most days this includes a walk or two. Followed by treat time. All dogs will be fed separately.

“Rebecca was great. She was very accommodating and kept our young border collie busy with long walks. Her house was extremely dog friendly and she has a great fenced in yard, too. We would definitely call Rebecca again if we return to the area.”
