Dog Walkers in Garden Valley, CA

About: Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I am so excited to help care for your furry friends! Growing up, my home always had a handful of critters, from cats, to dogs, to chickens, and many others. I loved it so much! I’ve been house sitting for many years and have worked with cats, dogs, chickens, small mammals, and fish. Trusting someone else to care for your animals can be a little daunting, but their care is my first priority. I have worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and need levels. I have given oral and topical medications and will work with you to fulfill all of your pets’ medical needs. I also volunteered at an animal rescue for several years where I took dogs on walks, cleaned their areas, and assisted with the quarantine dogs. Your pets’ needs are my priority, no matter what that may be. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week, at any time of the day, whenever your pets need it! I am available for drop in services and walks at any time of the day. I will visit your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable, and walk them in areas that we have discussed. Their safety in and out of your home is my top priority.

About: Hi friends! I’ve not only grown up with dogs but have one of my own! I’ve been pet sitting/boarding for over 10 years. Good friends, family members and customers of mine have all trusted me to watch their animals or stay over at their house and care for their babies! I’d love to help out if I can. I am currently for a brewery and have some free time! That may change in the future but for now, I’m here and available to give 100% of my attention to yours and my fur baby. I live in an apartment downtown. I’m close to numerous parks and dog parks. I live in a pet friendly environment and safe neighborhood. If I was at your home, I would follow any instructions you would like me to follow.

About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.

About: I've had pets all my life. Love and compassion are key! I am familiar with cats and dogs. I am experienced in administering meds if needed. I'm recently retired. My schedule is flexible. I can come to your home for drop in visits to walk, feed, and play. I can administer meds if needed. My pets are indoors mostly. They get potty breaks every few hours. Walks when weather permits. A pets safety and comfort is very important to me.

About: I’ve always owned dogs and cats and I’ve always been an animal lover. My mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said that I want to play the piano for puppies. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I applied myself and went to school to become a Veterinary Assistant. And yes; I bathe my cat before applying flea meditation. Need a weekend getaway or a date night. I’m available on the week days. I am looking for a second job and with my experience this seems like a perfect fit for me. I will follow guidelines/standards set by you! Also, your animal can tell me the when, where, and for how long we should eat, sleep, play, walk, ect.

About: I have taken care of dogs on my own since I got my dog Mr. Buddy who is an Australian Shepard. I raised him from a puppy when I got him in Alaska when I was in the air force. I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession. I've learned a lot about dogs from great people like ceaser milon and the dog father, and many great people I've met along the way on my travels in the military. Your dogs will be well taken care of under my care. I have decided to do this as a full time gig. I want to be my own boss and work better with animals then I do people lol. I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.

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.

“Extraordinarily personable, accepting and supportive of our hyper and high octane pup. By the time the four visits had passed Elaine succeeded in gaining our pups trust. In only took one visit for us. We have our future #1 choice for all care moving forward in Elaine.”

Questions I will ask before we book a service: Can we meet beforehand to see if we are a good fit? What’s your dog’s name, age, and breed? What’s their usual routine? (feeding, walks, playtime, bedtime) How is your dog’s temperament? (e.g., friendly, anxious, energetic, shy) Does your dog have any medical conditions or special needs? Are they up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention? What are their favorite activities or toys? Do they have any triggers or fears? (e.g., loud noises, other animals, strangers) How do they react to other dogs, pets, or people? Are there specific commands or cues I should know? Does your dog have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Do they require medication? If yes, how and when should it be administered? What’s the best way to comfort them if they get anxious? Do they have any behavioral quirks I should be aware of? (e.g., chewing, barking) Who should I contact in case of an emergency? (vet info and alternate contact) Is there anything else I should know to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety? I have 9 Airbnbs and own real estate in TX but currently back in California while running my business from home. I can work from anywhere. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I usually wake up feed the pets, walk and play with the doggies then start my work during the day. I will let the dogs out during the day and then feed and walk in the evenings after I finish working. How I would care for your pets: 1. Feeding: Regular Feeding Schedule: Feed your dog at the same times each day to establish a routine. 2. Exercise: Daily Walks: Ensure your dog gets at least one to two walks per day, tailored to their energy levels. 3. Playtime: Engage in play with toys, fetch, or other activities to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. And anything else you would like me to do.

About: I have had animals since I was a young girl and was always responsible for caring for them in any way the family needed. I helped watch friends animals as well. I currently have animals of my own that I adore as much as my adult children :). They bring love and light into our home. I am a part time dental hygienist as well as an undergraduate student studying Criminal Justice/ Forensics with plenty of flexibility. I am home full time doing school so my availability is open. I only pick up dental hygiene shifts as needed as I have been in the dental field 32 years. We have a a nice chunk of land with a fence and one dog to play with your furbaby her name is Shadow and she is so sweet and old, but still has energy for fun. We have a pond to wade in as well which is Shadows favorite thing to do. We are always keeping an eye on all of our animals and make sure they are safe and always have what they need. We also have 4 indoor kitties but they usually hide when company is around.

About: One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos and updates to owners while they're away. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when you can't be there. I genuinely love working with animals of all kinds. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, lizards, chickens, and many other pets. Animals bring so much joy to the world, and I believe they deserve attentive, compassionate care. I'm known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to work with—whether I'm helping friends, family, or new clients I've just met. Because every pet has unique needs, I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. I also have extensive experience administering medications and caring for pets with special requirements. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family member. I currently work full time as an office manager in the Roseville area, but I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to support pet care needs throughout the day. I’m able to step out during my lunch breaks for potty visits, check-ins, or to administer medications when needed. My routine is well-structured, which helps me reliably accommodate most scheduling requests and provide consistent care. I understand how important timely visits and dependable support are for both pets and their owners, and I do my best to ensure that each visit is handled with care and attention. I believe the best pet care starts with following the guidance provided by pet owners. They know their pets best and understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. One thing I've learned over the years is that every animal is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for them. I also place a strong emphasis on observation and communication. When I first meet a pet, I take time to learn their normal behaviors and establish a baseline for how they typically act. If I notice anything that seems unusual or out of character, I promptly reach out to the owner to keep them informed. Clear, timely communication helps ensure the best possible care and provides peace of mind for pet owners. Above all, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Tarron — lifelong animal lover, rescue director, and experienced handler with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs and many other animals including cats, ducks, goats, bunnies. I’m the Executive Director of a nonprofit animal rescue and have extensive experience with: * rescue and anxious dogs * senior dogs * puppies * medication administration * decompression and slow introductions * leash handling and structured walks * dogs recovering from surgery/injury * reactive or fearful dogs I understand that every dog is different and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and making dogs feel comfortable and secure. Because I have animals of my own and run a rescue, I currently focus on: * drop-in visits * dog walking * medication visits * structured enrichment walks * pet transport/help with vet visits I’m especially comfortable with dogs that may need a little extra understanding or experience beyond a typical pet sitter/walker. Reliable, communicative, calm, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I currently work as a program manger for adults with special needs, and manage a small team of individuals. Mornings and evening are best. As well as Tuesdays, and weekends. I do not provide pet care in my own home at this time, but I will gladly come to yours and spend time with your fur babies!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up being surrounded by animals and they have always been a huge part of my life. I had my English Springer Spaniel, Beau, for 13 years and just recently adopted a Bearded Collie/Golden Lab mix puppy. I also have my two 6 year cats, Rupert and Carl. I am the manager of a winery but have a pretty flexible schedule-especially in the evenings. I'm off work on Mondays and Fridays and am able to leave work early, if necessary. I'm also available in the early morning before 10am. Since I have three animals of my own, and to not upset their environment, it would be best for me to go to clients' homes to feed and take care of their animals.
