Dog Walkers in Gold River, CA

“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! 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.

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

About: The experience of care I have includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds & even chickens. Animals I have owned myself and others for friends, relatives & refers. I have 3 cats with all different personalities and I know how each one needs individualized care. Same goes for the dogs I’ve taken care of. I treat every animal I encounter the same as my own; with love and respect. I will send pictures and updates on how your fur babies are for the day/walk/check in. I am going to care for your fur babies exactly how I would want mine to be cared for. If you need anything special feel free to talk to me about it, I will accommodate you as best I can. I work part time and have very flexible hours since I work from home, so I will be available often to come walk your dog or doggy/cat sit in your home. I am going to care for your fur babies exactly how I would want mine to be cared for whether it's any of the services I offer.

About: Hi! I am a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, studying nutrition, and I am focusing on pet care for this summer. For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds-from dogs and cats to reptiles-getting experience almost every day. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need attention and basic training, to senior pets who require patience and close attention to their needs. Whether I’m out on a walk, providing overnight care, or just keeping a pet company, I focus on making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am attentive to the details of what each animal needs and I am great with routines as well. My number one value is bringing reassurance for both the owner and animal so you can feel confident that your pet is 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. 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.

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! After recently retiring, I’m now available 24/7 to take care of your pups and their needs. While my wife continues to work full-time, she'll still be involved every step of the way to ensure your furry friends are pampered and loved. We’re updating our profile after three fantastic years as Rover sitters because we absolutely love what we do! We only take care of one client's dogs at a time and have no pets of our own, so your dog will get 100% of our attention. We keep the same routines your dog is accustomed to at home—whether that means sleeping on beds or couches, special diets, or anything else they need. Our home features a large, fenced, grassy backyard and access to the best walking trails to the river in the Sacramento area. We’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home and make sure they feel just as comfortable here as they do at yours. I'm retired and your puppies care will be my full time job. My wife will also be assisting. We will only one family at time to create a stress-free environment for you Dog(s) Big fenced yard and close to walking trails with great sights and smells. Large amount of chew toys and sleeping beds to create all the comforts of home.

“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!”

“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!!!”

Andi B.

“Kendall was great! She was communicative, attentive, and easy-going. She documented all her walks with Zohar, took pictures, and kept me updated each time. I greatly appreciated her last minute help! Would highly suggest and recommend for any of your pet needs!”

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!

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.

“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!”

About: I love all animals. Really! I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience taking care of all types of animals, from cats to geckos to dogs and even baby deer! I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. I am comfortable administering medication and have extensive experience with senior pets and their unique care needs. I love playing with energetic big dogs, am always excited for a long walk, and love any cuddles from a furry friend. I have had my own pets my whole life and can never say no to making new animal friends. I understand how important our four legged friends are and I am committed to ensuring that you feel comfortable leaving your family members in my capable hands. I am currently working part time and am available to work with your schedule! I am available from Friday to Monday, and am happy to be flexible to fit the needs of you and your pets! I take a pets first approach to life. When my pets needs are met, they can relax and so can I. This goes for your furry loved ones, too. I’m committed to making sure your pets are cared for and loved and I always do my best clean up after them. Your comfort and privacy are a top priority for me.

“KiAshe has been so wonderful with my pup. She has been reliable with showing up on time for his walks and sending me updates and pictures while at work. The pup always looks happy while he’s with her :) thank you!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a little kid! I had my first dog at 9 years old and she’s still with me today, my sweet, little cockapoo, Sakura! I’ve had years of experience, raising Sakura and watching over my own family’s dogs from time to time. Recently, my husband and I welcomed Yuki into our lives, a friendly and energetic labrador retriever. It’s been amazing to see how well he gets along with Sakura and other dogs he meets at the park. Training skills I have acquired are potty training, crate training, various commands, and leash training. Excited to meet your fur babies!! I am a full time grad student, so I have the flexibility of being available during my break from classes! I am mainly available Monday-Thursdays after 1pm & Fridays-Sundays all day! I will meet your pets’ physical and mental stimulation through walks and play time. I will make sure they are well fed, have plenty of water, take them outside for potty breaks, and give them lots of snuggles!!

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.

“My dog has only been walked by me and I wasn't sure how he'd do being walked by someone else. He immediately was comfortable with Michael. My dog is a large mastiff and is very strong. Michael has good knowledge about dog training and behavior and is great at making sure my dog listens and is well behaved on his walks.”
