Dog Walking Alta Sierra

About: I have 4 years of experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a dog trainer, I have experience with everything from young puppies and basic obedience to advanced training and working with high-energy dogs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and making every dog feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, crate training, exercise, enrichment, and reinforcing training while owners are away. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my priority, and I will treat your pets like my own! My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s individual needs. Whether you need weekday, weekend, or holiday care, feel free to reach out so we can find a time that works best for you! I provide a relaxing, comfortable home environment where dogs can feel at ease. I make sure they’re fed well, get plenty of attention, and enjoy walks and trips to the park during the day or evening!

“Natalie was flexible and reliable with my irregular schedule. She is a good communicator with filling out the Rover cards, and Lola was always in high spirits when I got home!”

About: Available for lots of belly scratches & walks!! Previous experience with drop ins at a boarding facility while the owner would go out of town. I have always had dogs and believe they are truly man’s best friend. My sweet senior chihuahua passed away in 2025 and a few months ago my beloved shih Tzu passed away. We are not ready to get another dog just yet, so we would be honored to love up on your pup in the mean time. My dogs have always been the highlight of my husband & I’s life. I am a registered nurse, herbalist and student of homeopathy. My husband works from home and I work outside of the home on Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. I would love to chat with you regarding what I can offer and how I can help you and your dog(s)! My house has a fenced in back yard and I am close to a nature trail/walking path. My schedule is pretty flexible as of right now. Either my husband or I are usually home. If your dog is staying at my home, they will not be left unattended. We tailor our schedule to the dogs! I have a fully fenced in back yard and great places to walk in my neighborhood. I do not leave my dogs unattended while outside, so I can guarantee that I will always have eyes on your dog when outside.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals in our house. We would often foster animals growing up, and had two dogs in my childhood. My partner and I committed to a new doggo for us in August 2020 - a cuddly, loving Cavapoo named Bebe. I love being outside with her, and we frequently run together, play fetch together, and stretch together. I have also loved teaching and training her since her puppyhood. Potty training, sit, come, fetch, dance, down, roll over, walk, run, stay, big jump, up, down, and more. We have her crate trained and think that the mental stimulation in this regard is very important. I'm actually playing fetch with her right now! I am an Assistant Director at a summer camp and work 30 hours a week from home in the non-summer season. I generally take the dogs out in the morning for about an hour of fetch and stretching and morning poop, then do some training with them in my lunch break, and then go for a run or walk in the evening after I am done before dinner. I am neat, tidy, and responsible. I am an eagle scout, and was always taught to leave a place cleaner than I found it. :) If I am staying at a home, I will bring my laptop and work from there, and keep my routine similar to the schedule outlined above.

“Mikayla is awesome. she knows what she is doing and the dogs loved her! She very responsive to text and very flexible to changes we made. Our dogs love Mikayla and we do too!”

About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was just a baby, all my family members have had puppies and doggies and can always rely on me to watch them when they’ve needed it. On days that I am not working I would love to be walking or sitting dogs! I usually go for morning and sunset walks everyday so I would be happy to have a friend join me! Also am available to watch dogs while you’re away on vacation, just not at my house because I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment. I will follow exactly how you’d like your dog to be taken care of! Just let me know how you usually do things with them and I’ll do the same, I’ve noticed it’s easier for the dogs because the are used to how their owner does things!

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles, three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience working in a veterinary office. I have many years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. My veterinary background has given me experience recognizing when something may not be right and understanding the importance of keeping pets safe and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, and compassion. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away! 🐾❤️ I also use to be a dog trainer, through Petco! References Available on request! i am new to Rover but have been caring for pets, for 28+ years! I work full-time at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet sitting outside of work, including evenings and weekends. Working in a veterinary clinic has given me valuable experience and a strong understanding of animal care. I make sure to plan my time responsibly so every pet receives the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ The safety and happiness of every pet is my top priority. With my experience working full-time in a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of providing a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal. I always follow each pet's individual routine, feeding instructions, and special care needs. I make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, receive plenty of love and attention, and stay safe in their surroundings. I am patient and gentle with all animals, whether they are playful puppies, senior pets, dogs,cats or livestock or chickens ect. I also understand how important communication is, so I love keeping pet parents updated with messages and pictures while they are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. ❤️🐾

“Kind, communicative, amazing. Highly recommended!”

About: Dogs are a valued part of my life, and I love nothing more than my own dog. I know many other people feel this way, which makes it extra hard to leave them. When you can’t be there for your dog, I’d love to help bring security and peace of mind to your time away from them. I bring my dog on as many adventures as possible, biking, skiing, hiking, running- and I’d love to bring yours along too, or at least harness that adventurous spirit in your backyard, neighborhood, or local walking trail. I'm working part-time from home and away from home. Reach out! My schedule is always changing it is likely that we can make it work! I prefer to care for your dog in your home, where it’s most comfortable for them. I provide on leashed, or very long leed, activities unless there’s a good deal of confidence from the owner and myself that your dog’s recall is conducive to creating a safe environment around other dogs and hazards.

About: Having animals ranging in all ages since I was 5 has definitely helped but also helping friends and family since the age of 13 has been the best experience. I am available 24/7, our animals are just as important as us so I believe in having time for them whenever you or them may need it. Always following directions given by owner and doing thorough checks throughout the time I am with your 4 legged family. Staying aware of surroundings when out and about in walks.

About: I've always loved having pets in my life! Along with caring for my three cats, I've volunteered at an animal shelter and previously fostered cats, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. Since our pets can't tell us what they need in words, I pay close attention to their body language, behavior, and little ways of communicating. Whether it's recognizing when a dog needs exercise, noticing when a cat is feeling overwhelmed, or understanding when an animal wants companionship or a little space, I believe in letting their individual needs guide how I care for them. I'm familiar with everyday care, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, grooming, litter box cleaning, and keeping their spaces comfortable. I do my best to maintain familiar routines and make their time away from family as stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your furry companions are doing! Working remotely allows me to spend much of my day at home with my pets. My cats are usually curled up nearby while I work, often taking turns cuddling in my lap as I type. In fact, my little Mitra is sitting on my lap right now as I'm filling this out. Having a flexible work-from-home routine makes it easier to incorporate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and plenty of company throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around while I work, as they keep me just as much company as I do them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and there's always room for a few more furry friends. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pets while respecting your home, privacy, and personal belongings. I will always want to be sure if there are any household instructions first, including pet care routines, security measures, and any areas designated as private. I limit my activities to the spaces necessary for caring for your pets, keep shared areas clean and organized, and ensure your home is properly secured whenever I leave. I believe clear communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, promptly address any concerns, and contact you if anything unexpected arises. My goal is for you to return to your home as you have left it, and happy, comfortable pets, with the peace of mind that both have been treated with care and respect.

“Feliz is great! Always communicates and takes great care of Millie.”

“John went above and beyond for our Rose while we were out of town for 9 days during the holidays. Always taking the time to make sure rose was comfortable with him, took her on longer walks, was consistently on time so she could stay in her routine. I’d love to work with John again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, dogs, cats, small pets and I’m known for being calm, patient, and detail-oriented. I specialize in in-home care so your pet stays relaxed in their familiar space. I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, and anxious or shy pets, and I follow your routines exactly (feeding, meds, potty schedule, exercise). My schedule allows me plenty of time for quality pet care! I’m available most mornings and evenings. I do work part time and have my kids week on week off so between work and kids I make time for pet walks and pet care when I have my kids. When I don't have my kids, I have more available hours and can-do house sitting locally in the placer county area. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously and always treat your space with respect. I follow your routines exactly ~ meals, walks, meds, and bedtime ~ so your pets feel calm and secure while you’re away. I keep everything tidy, lock up carefully, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your home and pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free.

About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!
