Dog Walkers in Cottage Springs, CA

“Absolute hero! My separation anxious dog struggles with folks and isn't always the best behaved on a leash, but Lee is great with him, making sure he's safe, behaving, and having fun (my little guy adores him). Lee is professional, friendly, prompt and capable, and I can always rest easy knowing he's in charge.”

About: I have significant house and pet sitting experience, for colleagues, friends, and family in Lake Tahoe, CA, Oregon, and Colorado. I've had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of animals, including cats, dogs (big, small, young and old), chickens, pigs, reptiles, and other more obscure critters like parrots and guinea pigs. One of my favorite house sitting experiences involved caring for a veterinarian's six dogs, four cats, two turtles, and a talking parrot! I am confident in my ability to handle multiple animals at a time, including large dogs. From taking them on exhilarating hikes to playing fetch, I ensure the pets have ample opportunities for exercise and stimulation. Upholding household rules and training regimens has always been my top priority, ensuring consistency and structure in their routines. I am meticulous when it comes to feeding, walking, and attending to their needs. With a deep sense of responsibility, I approach each sitting assignment with dedication, taking my role seriously and striving to always do an exceptional job. I am an executive Director of a nonprofit based in Idaho. I work remotely 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I am guiding backpacking trips. With my working remote schedule, pet care is a seamless addition to my daily routine. I love taking dogs on walks and spending quality time indoors as well. I'm happy to just be a neighborhood walker or take a doggy on an adventure! I'm also very happy to stay at home and keep cats company! I do not have a home where pets can stay with me. However, I love animals and am able to go to client's houses. My number one rule is to follow the household protocols for pet care. After that, I prioritize safety and health for the pet. Where I go above and beyond is ensuring that the animals receive lots of care and affection as well as outside time, if applicable.

“Charlene has taken care of our dog on numerous occasions including weekend trips. She took care of our fur baby as if she were her own. Our dog loves her so much we call her Aunt Charlene. Bailey is always happy to see her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and other farm animals. I have my degree in Veterinary Technician. I have a little bit of dog training experience. I have trained hunting dogs along side of my husband. I promise to care and love your little one as if they were my own. I will always be there with them. I will make sure they are safe. I am free Friday nights, Saturday and Sundays. I do work Monday - Friday. I have a very flexible work schedule. I do work for family. I can do drop offs Monday mornings on my way to work. I can do pick up Fridays when I’m off. I live on 4 acres of lovely mountain property. I do not have a fenced yard. I do have 2 outdoor 12X10 kennels set up. I would never let a dog go out potty without me on a leash. I spend about 30 minutes outside with my own dogs every 1.5 hours. I am outside most of the day unless it’s extremely hot or cold. I am with the animals 24/7. If your dogs likes to be outside I can put them in the kennels for extra outside time. If they like to be inside I can leave them inside while I take other dogs pee. I have a Furbo camera installed so I can view them at all times.

“I've known Denise for almost five years as a home health aide for my mother. I can attest that she is reliable and caring and always goes out of her way to help. She is also on my list as a backup for my dog sitting since I already have a regular person for my dogs. But, I know I could easily trust Denise in charge of my dogs and not worry. Also, Denise is a great house cleaner and know she would be a great house and dog sitter since she has always taken great pride in how she takes care of my mother and her home. I believe using Denise for your furbabies would be a great choice - one I highly recommend.”

“Working with Christina is a completely stress free and worry free experience. She loves my pets as if they were her own, and is incredibly caring. Christina is 100% dependable and responsible. She can also think on her feet. We’ve had a couple of difficult situations and she handled them on her own without missing a beat. No one has done that before. Give her a try. You’ll see. She’s amazing.”

“Brittany sure is a treat! She is great with my large dog that has even a bigger personality. My dog is a 90lb black lab that requires a good amount of attention in order to get a restful sleep each night. I was gone for a 22day trip and Brittany came through on all her expectations perfectly. She texted me updates each day of pics/videos, and confirmed that everything was going as planned each day. She made being away from my pup much easier to bear.. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!!”

“Jenny came highly recommended to us by a friend; she has by far exceeded our expectations. She is very reliable, trustworthy, nurturing and kind and takes excellent care of our Golden Retriever and our home while we're away. Our house always looks better when we return home than when we left and best of all our dog loves her so he is never stressed when we leave. We have been through a few pet/house sitters and Jenny gives us total peace of mind when we go away. She is a dream come true for us! We've used Jenny's services several times and will continue to do so. Anyone would be fortunate to have Jenny look after their pet and home and we would highly recommend her.”
