Dog Walking Gold River

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly rescued all of my dogs. I have volunteered for dog and cat rescues including Rocket Dog Rescue in San Francisco. I volunteered for SPCA for over 10 years. I also have fostered many dogs and volunteered for dog shelters to be able to walk dogs. I started walking dogs in college over 20 years ago on the side. I have worked for Honeys Heart in San Francisco where I helped with boarding, training, cleaning and feeding dogs as well as taking care and walking dogs. Of course tons of belly rubs and play time! I have fostered puppies as well as adult seniors. Some dogs I fostered for weeks to months until I found a loving home. I absolutely love and care for animals and I’m always excited to be part of their lives. I I feel that all animals need to have unconditional love and care and complete trust and respect. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened”- Anatole. I am open to any schedule full-time Monday through Sunday. AM/PM I have complete open availability to care to your fur baby. I can do multiple walks a day or take your dog to my local dog park. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog in a tucked away, safe neighborhood in fair Oaks. I can do daily walks as well as crate train. I give all of my attention and care and can cater to every and any need.

About: I genuinely love being around dogs and have been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets many times over the years. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for pets has been part of my life through helping friends and family with their dogs over the years. With graduation coming up and a flexible summer schedule, I'm excited to spend more time doing something I really enjoy. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment. I follow the owner's instructions carefully, making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and care, whether they re staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own 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!”

“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: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a bunny! I’ve also cared for neighbors’ pets, including both big and small dogs and cats. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, providing playtime and companionship, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their families are away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m currently a student at Sacramento State and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability is more limited during late mornings through early evenings on those days. I also have a baby, so I may need to coordinate visits around his schedule or most likely bring him with me to services with animals who are ok with kiddos. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with each family to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow their owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also keep their space clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.

About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5:15pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.

“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.”

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.

“David did a great job walking Penny. She seemed very happy and comfortable with him and I really appreciated the photos from each walk. Will definitely use again!”

“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!”

Renee R.

“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!!!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities for many years, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m calm, patient, and attentive — especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets who need extra understanding. I’m comfortable with puppies, high‑energy dogs, seniors, cats, and pets with special needs. I follow routines closely, communicate clearly, and make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Whether your pet needs structured exercise, slow gentle walks, medication, or just companionship, I adjust to their unique needs. Pet parents can expect reliable updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I make sure each visit or stay gets my full attention. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they never feel rushed or overlooked. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet. In your home, I follow your rules and routines exactly as you prefer feeding, walks, playtime, crate use, and household boundaries. I keep doors locked, maintain a clean space, and treat your home with respect. For pets with special needs or seniors, I move at their pace, monitor their comfort, and keep a close eye on behavior changes. Safety is always my top priority.

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.

“Jenelle came by when I needed her most! She got our high energy dog out on a nice walk and was incredibly friendly, good with him and it was so helpful!”

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. I am a substitute teacher and I have two reptiles at home, so I'm currently only accepting jobs in my immediate area to cut down on travel time. I only come to your home to care for your pets, and I try to make sure they feel happy and comfortable and respecting your home and rules for your pet.
