Dog Daycare near Meadow Lake Park, Truckee, CA
Playful, Well-Supervised Days for Meadow Lake Park Pups
Snow stacks up quickly at nearly 6,000 feet. A Meadow Lake Park dog stuck inside through a long Truckee winter can get restless fast. The same goes for a dog waiting alone at home while you work. Visitors renting a nearby cabin or condo face a similar dilemma. Nobody wants their companion pacing a "pet-friendly" hotel room or rental all afternoon. Our veterinarian-recommended dog daycare swaps that boredom and loneliness for a full day of play, exercise, and attention. Pups of every breed and age come from across Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, Nevada County, and Reno, NV. A visit to our award-winning resort starts at just $42.95.

How a Day of Play Helps Meadow Lake Park Dogs Thrive
Beyond being convenient for busy households, our award-winning program builds social confidence and keeps dogs fit. It supports their overall health and happiness in several other ways, too:
- A dog without enough to do will often invent its own entertainment. That can mean chewing or digging where you'd rather they didn't. Daycare keeps body and brain busy, channeling that energy into healthy, constructive play.
- Dogs are social by nature. Professionally supervised group play gives them a safe outlet for that instinct. They build social skills, grow more self-assured, and widen their comfort zone while having a blast.
- New people, unfamiliar sights and sounds, and fresh canine friends all add up to positive experiences. Even a simple change of scenery away from home can be wonderfully enriching.
- You get to enjoy your day without the worry. Whether you're at the office or on the mountain, your dog is safe and well cared for. Our team keeps them exercised, mentally stimulated, and professionally supervised.
- Wrap up a busy play day with an add-on bath or nail trim. Your dog will head home fresh and clean.

Why Meadow Lake Park Pet Parents Choose Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge for Dog Daycare
Meadow Lake Park is a residential pocket of Truckee near the Gateway & Donner Trail neighborhoods. It sits close to 6,000 feet, about a mile and a half from Commercial Row. Donner Lake is less than three miles off. Dogs are part of everyday life here. They join their families on summer trips toward the lake and bound through fresh snow after winter storms. Visitors staying at nearby lodging such as The Inn at Truckee often bring their pups along, too.
Mountain living comes with its own scheduling puzzles, though. Long winters can keep energetic dogs cooped up for days. Ski-season weekends get hectic, and summer afternoons can turn warm. Neighbors count on our daycare, about four minutes away, as a dependable spot close to home. Dogs play indoors when the snow is deep and cool off in splash pools when the sun is out. Then they come home tired, happy, and ready to relax.
How to Get Here from Meadow Lake Park
Daycare drop-off is a quick trip from Meadow Lake Park, about 1.6 miles or roughly four minutes. Start by taking Frates Lane to CA-89 South. Stay on CA-89 South for just under a mile until you reach West River Street. Follow West River Street for about half a mile to Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge. You'll find us at 10960 West River Street, Suite 106E. Our doors open at 7:30 a.m. every day, so it's easy to fit in a visit before work or the slopes.
