Dog Walking Gold River

“Ayla has been walking our dog for a month now and she has been fantastic! She is great at communicating what is going on and responds very quickly. Our dog has been so much happier since she started walking him. She’s exactly what we were looking for.”

About: Hi! I’m a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying Nutrition, and I’m focusing on pet care this summer. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who need lots of attention and exercise to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also very detail-oriented and great at sticking to routines, so I’ll make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, providing overnight care, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I make communication a priority and am happy to provide updates along the way. My number one goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands! I am very flexible and I am open to care on weekdays and weekends. I am usually available throughout the day, from mornings to late nights. My availability for care ends August 12th. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I pay close attention to their routines, behavior, and specific needs-especially during walks and daily care. With experience ranging from puppies to senior dogs, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s energy level and any special requirements. At home, I have a medium-sized senior dog named Amber who is very laid back and gets along well with other pets. When I care for animals in my home, I always do slow, careful introductions and prioritize safety and comfort. I make sure each pet has their own space and only allow interaction when both animals are fully comfortable.

“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”

About: I absolutely love pets! I’ve taken care of all different kinds of cats and dogs for about 15 years and have experience volunteering and fostering with both elderly and newborn pets. Most of my work includes feeding, cleaning, bathing, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care (if needed). I am currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available every day during the week. I don’t have a set schedule with work, but it is very flexible and can be discussed depending on your schedule. I personally have strict rules of keeping my pets inside at night due to frequent coyote sites in my area, and have no problem reigning in your pets if needed as well for whatever reason. I can absolutely bend to my clients rules in whatever means I can to ensure their pets safety.

“McKenzi was the primary walker for my sweet girl, Olivia, for over a year and she was by far the most reliable walker that I had. She is amazing at communicating well in advance when she isn’t able to walk her so I can plan accordingly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker, you won’t regret picking her!!!”

“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”

Reetika P.

“Sweet person! My 18 month Aussie was so happy to get out and play/walk with her! She even gave her a bath when she had an accident! Will definitely be rebooking with her.”

Dana D.

“David is great! We couldn't survive our busy summer schedule without him and our dog, Murphy, loves spending time with him. We love getting photos of their walks and play time together. ”

“Brooklyn has been walking Maggie for a week now and Maggie loves Brooklyn! Brooklyn is prompt to respond to requests and easy to communicate with. Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”

About: My wife and I have been passionate about dogs for over 36 years. We've volunteered at the SPCA for the last 8 years, which is truly the highlight of our week. In that time, we've rescued over 50 dogs off the streets, reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving forever homes. We've also fostered 20 dogs, both long and short-term, and raised three wonderful Weimaraner's who all lived to be over 14. As they say, if you can raise a Weimaraner, you can care for any dog!

About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including large breeds such as Rottweilers, bully breeds, and mixed breeds. I currently have my own dog and understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer and help at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I work a flexible schedule and spend a lot of my free time with my own dog, so pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.

About: I've been pet sitting since the fifth grade. I've sat cats and dogs and I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I've always had a passion for animals so this is a great side gig for me. This semester, I will be in class from 9:30-5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and working from 9-2 on Mondays and Wednesdays. I will also be doing some training rides for the cycling teams in the range of 1-6 hours throughout the week. I will probably be hauling around my sewing machine for house sitting appointments as I need to work on my senior project. I don't offer in-home services as my current housing doesn’t allow for pets and because I think my space is too small for most dogs or cats to be happy. As a dog walker/sitter I will ensure your pets get the attention and care you would give them yourself; feeding, walking, playtime, and of course lots of pets and friendly words.

About: I’m generally great with animals and I’ve been a cat mom for 3 years now so I’m quite good at making sure a pet is taken care of. I go the extra mile. And follow directions pretty well. Just finished pet CPR training. I’m relatively flexible but prefer to work in the morning because my other job is at night. Totally free Sundays. I have class Thursday evenings right now and I’m usually at the gun range Saturdays but all other days of the week, I’m flexible. I do a bit of traveling but I will block off those days or I’ll let you know if I’m not available on your requested days. Just let me know ahead of time and I’ll let you know of if I can accommodate your request. I prefer texting via the app as much as possible. I make sure to respect your cat’s space and that their needs are met. I feed pets as instructed. Give treats as necessary. Make sure they have adequate water.

“Derek was amazing with my spastic 1 yr old Golden Retriever! She always came back worked out and tired and a huge smile on her face. Thank you for taking such great care of my Gemma!”

Jennifer H.

“Jennifer is AMAZING!! She was so accommodating to the last minute request. She exceeded my expectations by being so so so patient with my boy Bear (he was abused when he was a puppy and gave him the time he needed to acclimate. I will definitely be asking for her services again, if she’s willing! Thank you Jennifer!!”

About: Over the years I have cared for countless animals. From the dogs & kittens I’ve rescued to the ones we actually meant to bring home. :) I am currently a stay-at-home mom looking for fun activities to get me out of the house. My schedule is more flexible when booked ahead of time but I also understand that life happens so I am open to last minute requests - as long as I am able to accommodate. Please anticipate a meet & greet prior to your departure to go over expectations. I will follow all clear instructions provided to me by the owner. I do not care for animals in my home, but am happy to travel to your house!

About: Hello! My name is Laura and I'm 38 years old. I grew up in the country and my mother had a dog grooming studio in our house. I have always loved animals and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, ducks and horses. As an adult, I have worked at animal shelters and for private rescues. I have fostered dogs in my own home, many of whom were neglected and needed a sensitive touch. I currently have 3 rescue dogs of my own, one of whom has kidney disease. I give medication and IV fluids three times a week for her at home. I am available for dog walks/hikes, pet sitting and am comfortable with a wide range of breeds. I am reliable, caring and will treat your pet like they are a member of my own family. I currently work nights, part-time in the restaurant industry which gives me plenty of free time during the day to care for your furry family member(s)! I tailor each experience to match your pets needs. I am up for anything including, long walk, adventurous hikes, leisurely strolls, playing in the back yard, snuggling on the couch and more. I am happy to spend whatever time and energy your fur baby needs!
