About Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge
Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge History
Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge is a luxury pet care provider with a 15,000 square foot facility located in the mountains of Truckee, CA. We’re a licensed and approved Truckee-Tahoe BBB business committed to exceeding expectations of our furry guests and their humans.
Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge has been owned and operated by Steve Sewell since 2010. Steve’s goal is providing a fun, safe and comfortable place where pets love to come and play. Equally important, he wanted to provide a superior level of individual care and attention that pet owners could trust and rely on whether they were dropping off their four-legged friend just for the day or for an extended stay. The Pet Lodge has grown steadily since then, with an increasing number of loyal locals as well as visitors to the beautiful Lake Tahoe area who don’t want to leave their pets at home.

Our pack loves this place for stays/vacays as well as just play dates. The entire staff is attentive, caring and loving towards them. Our red & white one had some socialization issues at first but they were able to figure him out and get him to engage and play well with others. More and more progress each visit. Additionally, they now have a groomer on staff so our pack got all dazzled up over their stay this weekend … amazing job! Highly recommend this place and the wonderful employees.
