Dog Boarding in Tahoe City

“Claire would be my first choice for a pet sitter. She is responsible, caring and fun. She understands their needs and is very attentive. River will love Claire!”

“Joe was great! His place is super close to the Palisades ski slope, and our dog had an awesome time staying with his family while we were at a nearby hotel. Easy communication and great care. We would definitely work with Joe 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!”

“Christie was awesome. She is very relaxed and chill which gave us the confidence to leave our new puppy with her - you never know what puppies will do! She had other dogs staying and they all had a great time and kept our pup well exercised and entertained. Christie even taught her some tricks and behavior training which has stuck with her! We will absolutely be booking with Christie again.”

“I feel lucky that I found Melissa to care for our miniature poodle Cooper. Cooper was never happy in a commercial daycare situation but felt at home at Melissa's house. Melissa truly loves every pup in her care and regularly communicates updates on your dog's behavior. 🐶 Right away we felt at ease after leaving our dog for a few days with Melissa and highly recommend her services!”

“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.”

About: My goldendoodle, Harper (12 lbs), has been with me for five years and I love her to pieces. She gets along with most dogs, but prefers to chill on the couch rather than play roughly most of the time. She doesn't love puppies who want to be in her face/butt constantly but as long as they can listen to her, she's happy to hang with them. I'm happy to host dogs for boarding or do drop-in visits or walks at your home. I work for myself (about 10 hours per week) & my schedule is very flexible. I will have lots of time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I always like to do a meet-and-greet with Harper in a neutral space prior to hosting in my home. It's important to me that your pet feels comfortable and has a space that feels like "theirs" - if you can bring their bed, or something that feels like home for them, that is very helpful.

About: Hi, My name is Peach and I have an 8 year old border collie. We love spending time on the open trails, the park, or playing at home. We are open to all types of animals, Brewer used to live on a ranch so he is accustomed to many different types. We are always looking for a play buddy. Currently we live in Tahoe City. I am taking classes to prepare for nursing school, so I have a flexible schedule! Making sure Brewer, or whichever animal I am caring for, has enough care and attention is extremely important to me. I make sure there are several different activities throughout the day for animals to stay happy and engaged. I am able to keep my dog at home, while I am also happy to come watch your pet in your home or take her out for walks/playtime.

“Jim seemed to love his time staying with Barry and Chrissy. When I picked him up I think he wanted to stay with them. Their house is great for dogs and the neighborhood roads are not busy at all. He got lots of dog walks and exercise as well as plenty of love and treats. It obvious that Barry and Chrissy love dogs and I would highly recommend them.”

“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!”

“Erica is an amazing caretaker. She has loved and cared for two of my precious poochie dogs over the past 20yrs. She is a devoted dog mama herself and also a mom of two beautiful amazing children. She is patient and kind and fun and caring and you should definitely hire her to take care of your dog or cat or any furry friend you have. Everyone will be happier because of it!”

About: I’ve always had a natural way with animals, and loved being the neighbor or family friend to call upon to watch theirs. Whether it’s hiking through the snow or hanging out indoors I’m your gal! I currently work in the restaurant industry. Shifts are usually no longer than 5 hours max. I live an active lifestyle and love to get outdoors so having a pet companion to join me makes things all the merrier! If boarding at my home, I have a spacious fenced yard as well as 2 beautiful trails for walks and hikes. If boarding elsewhere I am very respectful of the owners and pets space. I find it easiest to have an open line of communication to discuss specific wants and needs.

“Samantha and family were fantastic! We were in a pinch trying to find someone for our pup during our wedding weekend (due to a last minute emergency but someone we had booked in our hometown) and they saved the day! They were so sweet and Penny Lane clearly had a good time, she was exhausted for the drive home! They even brought her for a few minutes to our reception so we could get some pics with her!”

“Nayla has been great with our pup. I always get great pictures and reports on how he’s doing. They go for lots of walks and he comes home happy! She’s always flexible when she can be and has been great to work with. Nayla will definitely stay on our short list of people to trust our dog with!”

“Jesse is awesome when it comes to exceptional pet care and I am so glad I found her to watch my weenies. She pays great attention to detail and loves animals. She provided safe environment, kept with my routines for my dogs, and was so kind in all communication. She kept me updated with photos and offered reassurance when I left them overnight. Jesse isn't just a pet caregiver; she a trusted companion who goes beyond to ensure pets and owners feel valued. I'm grateful for her service and wholeheartedly recommend Jesse for remarkable pet care.”

“Everything about our stay with Luke was fantastic. Excellent communication and care for our 2 pups. He made sure they were able to go on walks (with Strava maps included) and we got lots of pictures. The pups had a great time and we will definitely reach out to Luke next time we need a sitter!”

“Lynsy and Paul are amazing! We came to visit from Sacramento. Required about services and they responded right away. They live in a clean and lovely home in beautiful Incline Village. They were super welcoming and I immediately felt a sense of peace and comfort. They walked Luna - sent me photos! Luna came home tired and ready to nap :). Will be using them again. Thank you, Lynsy and Paul - we are forever grateful.”

“Jeff has always loved animals and was a caring dog father for over 16 years. If you know Jeff you knew his dogs and that they were loved and cared for to the fullest capacity. He always took them on fun adventures whether it was camping, bike rides, or hiking ect. they were right there by his side. Two of my three dogs were the off spring of one his dogs and is one of the only people I trust to care for them if I need a sitter.”

“I had a last minute 3-day engagement and needed some help to get my dog a mid-day break. Camille suggested that I board instead of any for walks, based on logistics and cost, and it worked out beautifully. Camille took great care of my girl, taking her for beach adventures and out on walks with her own dog. Clearly she had a wonderful time.”

“I have known Melissa for close to 10 years and I can say without reservation that she is a person of utmost integrity and accountability. She personally owns a dog named Liberty and her careful attention and love for Liberty has been absolutely exemplar. I would not hesitate to trust my pets to her care.”
