Dog Walking Elders Corner

About: Most recently have worked last couple years at dog boarding ranch - I love keeping dogs happy, active, and healthy. All sizes and needs welcome! I'm very flexible with scheduling! I currently enjoy lots of free time and love taking on new pets to make my days even more enjoyable. Completely at your service! Whether its dog walking, home sitting, or drop-ins, I treat every pup like it's my own. I genuinely ensure the wellbeing of every single pet in my care and will respect any individual needs or preferences of the owner.

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.

“Stephen is very friendly and communicative letting you know exactly when he will arrive. He is great with our yellow lab finding ways to help with his pulling on walks. I would highly recommend Stephen for your next dog walk!”

“Milo was so excited to see Lois today. She arrived on time (early actually ) for their third walk together. Milo has stranger anxiety and when he saw Lois , he couldn’t wait to give her love. She understands his energy, anxiety and strength , and handles him with ease. Thanks Lois !!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and pets since as long as I can remember, whether that be my own or my friends and family! I personally have a dog of 14, with a few health issues (including joint issues and blindnesss) so I’m very comfortable and understands with other dogs with those issues, and how to handle and take care of them well! With also having dogs my whole life I have experience some experience puppies, and while I’m not trained myself, I do remember some tips and tricks for starting their training! I’m currently only in school for a week days a week, so I have plenty of time to drop in and play with your dogs, or take them in a long walk to tire them out ! I have sat dogs with needs like kennels, and special food times and needs, so I’m understanding with their routines and how they spend time when I’m not with them.

About: I am a very intuitive, animal lover. I have been nurturing dog, cats and farm animals for many years. I am comfortable loving on and caring for all kinds of furry and not so furry friends… I'm available early mornings, afternoons and weekends (after 3:00pm) in addition to overnights. I'm flexible and willing to work with your needs. As I'll be coming to you, I am comfortable with all housing types and pet situations whether they are free to roam, indoor or outdoor, or crated.

About: We are a family full of love for pets! My Husband has volunteered at Sammies Friends walking dogs, and at home we have three indoor-outdoor cats, and a Chihuahua named Bella who’s 10 (my Daughter’s). We had to put down our 14-year-old chocolate lab named Yotis a few years ago, and was my Husband’s best friend! My Son’s 12 year old German Shepard Zani passed a couple years ago as well, and she was the best dog addition to this family. We have always had dogs and cats in the home, and all are friends with each other and they each have unique personalities! We have a dog park nearby as well! The oldest cat I have had was a tabby named Chica, and got her at 8 weeks old when I was 16, and she was 15 when she passed!!! Our pets are our fur family and we love them all!!! Kids are all grown up now, and my Husband is gone a lot as a Fire Captain, so I am more than willing and available to housesit dogs and/or cats in your home. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and pets. My Husband works 3 days on, 4 days off and likes to help with your pets as well. He is a Dog Whisperer, and I am the Cat Lady! We love taking nature walks, and have both been on Rover since before COVID in 2019. I am available at any time due to my kids being older now, amd we don’t currently have a dog of our own. I love getting out of the house and exploring new neighborhoods and areas especially during Spring and summer. We have resided in Nevada County for decades! We don’t dog board due to having too many household members and pets already, but in your home they are taken care of exactly how they should be. With compassion and love.

About: I specialize in providing quality care for cats, dogs, rodents, and reptiles/amphibians. I have extensive experience caring for animals from all walks of life (pun intended), from senior pets who require some extra special attention to the many creatures that typically go unappreciated (especially those of the scaly or slimy variety). I'm not afraid to get down and dirty with pets and have endless patience and understanding when it comes to accidents, behavioral issues, or any of the other less glamorous aspects of pet ownership. I have over a decade of experience with dog, cat, and reptile caretaking, some experience with rodent and bird caretaking, and I am always willing to learn more so I may satisfy your pet needs to a T. I think of and treat pets like the family they are and am dedicated to ensuring and promoting their wellbeing; night or day, rain or shine, I will be there for you and your pets. My availability for drop-ins and all-day sitting (non-overnight) is 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. My own dog is dealing with renal failure so I need to pop back home during the day every two hours to address that. Due to this, I cannot sit all-day without leaving for short periods and for multiple-day sittings I can’t travel far. Same-day booking is available and I’m typically available during holidays except Christmas. I provide undivided attention to pets and specialized care according to your instructions. You can trust me to be prudent, responsible, caring, and dedicated to your pet's wellbeing, as well as respectful of your home's interior and exterior.

“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: Not only do I have 2 fur babies over 75 lbs making me experienced but I also have done a lot of training with them both. King had extremely bad separation anxiety and after months of training he’s become a lot more independent and calm making us both much more happy. If you’d like me to do some basic training with your pup while you are away on vacation, I can definitely do so. No worries if not, I’ll give your fur baby lots of love and play time! I know how hard it can be to go on vacation away from your babies but I will be making this time for your pup so much fun with walks, play time, and love! I also have cared for chickens, ducks, reptiles, and would be open to learning how to care for more of your farm animals! i am available mostly every day, reach out and I can let you know if it doesn’t work for me but it most likely will! I can crate train if you have a crate in your home (I cannot provide). I can also do basic training (sit, lay down, stay, etc..) if you would like, you must provide treats as I know many have food allergies.

About: I have a genuine love for animals, along with the compassion and hands-on experiencing to provide them with the best care. Growing up with a dog, I have always had a special bond with animals and understand how much they become part of the family. Pet sitting for family, friends, and other pet owners I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities routines, and individual needs. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to detail, whether it’s following feeding schedules, going on walks, providing exercise and playtime, or simply making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I love, giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! Most importantly, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is in loving and trustworthy hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I am available for regular walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I’m also available for boarding on the weekends. Which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention and care in a comfortable environment. I live in an apartment, but I love being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks is one of my favorite parts of pet care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, where they can feel relaxed and at home. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing with toys, giving belly, rubs and cuddles, and making sure they are never feeling lonely or bored. When caring for pets in a client‘s home, I make it a prior to follow their normal routine as close as possible. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, provide freshwater, take dogs on walks, clean up after them, and give them plenty of playtime and companionship. I also understand that every pet is different so I take time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“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’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel happy and secure. I’m located less than a mile from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily stop by throughout the day to make sure your pet is doing great. Even though I live in an apartment complex, home has plenty of space and surrounded by beautiful parks & trails to keep pet happy and active

About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. I understand the importance of quick updates and photos to put your mind at ease. I commit to sending you a morning and evening photo and update each day. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.

About: It is very difficult for me to have animals in my current situation so I am looking forward to this work as an opportunity to make friends with animals that I would not get to experience normally. I am really looking forward to it. Thank you. I am retired and partially disabled so I don’t have a work routine and so I’m available seven days a week. This will be fun! I am very respectful of other people spaces and I’m happy to offer full cleanup services for any accidents or other things that might happen while I’m there.

“Ella is so great with Sparkey. I can tell he is really looking forward to her visit, and enjoys the visit. He is a difficult dog, but Elle has won him over:)”
