Dog Walking North Valleys

About: I am a stay at home Mom of 3 kids and 1 fur-baby who has a friendly, easy-going personality. I am courteous and professional and will offer loving care to your pooch. I am reliable and dependable and don’t change my plans at the last minute. I love walking and would love to take your dog with me. I also have a large yard that is a fun place for dogs to run around and play fetch. I have one easy-going fun loving dog for your pooch to play with who is great with other dogs. I live in a great neighborhood that is great for dog walks. My kids are great with dogs too and love to help take care of them and love on them. I am available and home most of the day (usually not gone from home more than a couple of hours at one time). My pup is used to frequent potty breaks outside too. I live in a wonderfully safe neighborhood and have a good sized fenced yard. I also have a large area downstairs in my house for pups to spread out and feel at home.

“Josh is amazing! So patient, so helpful. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. My dogs are something else and he handled them with the utmost patience and professionalism.”

About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.

“I highly recommend Carson to anyone looking for a dog walker. She is trustworthy, caring, dependable and genuinely kind, Carson walks my pups weekly, and I always have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.”

About: I've had animals my whole life but started professionally working with them about 5 years ago. My own animals are special needs, so I know what it's like to need someone to care for them. I love animals and hope to get to know yours! I'm available on Saturday, Sunday, Monday afternoon/evening and the evening on Friday! Other days I work full time at an animal clinic and go to school, so weekends are what I can do for you! I am very good at reading animal behavior and knowing how to get dogs and cats to trust (or at least tolerate) me. I also am familiar with a lot of different medicines and how important it is to administer them carefully, as I had a pet with chronic illnesses and work with them daily. I want to use my knowledge from working at the clinic to help you and your pets.

About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.

“Sierra is absolutely amazing! So communicative and respectful! She always goes above and beyond with my doggie! She’s also super reliable and just a really great person overall. It’s always daunting to invite someone into your home, but Sierra has so much integrity and empathy and compassion. My doggie and I really appreciate her so much!”

“We have a rambunctious lab puppy that I worried would be too much for my parents while we were out of town. My parents raved about Brianna. She walked our dog everyday for a week and he loved it and she really helped him get some energy out! We would definitely look to book her again.”

“Wonderful with my pup and always on time.”

About: Hi, I go by Ashton. I began working with dogs in a professional setting in 2011 in Anchorage Alaska. I received my Certificate to be a Professional Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and immediately began working along side seasoned obedience, behavior modification and agility trainers. After some time I was able to begin mentoring new trainers in basic obedience, teaching them how to run puppy and adult basic obedience group classes. Though my profession career began in 2011, my passion for working with dogs truly started many years before that, here in Reno,NV, when I adopted a Chow Chow named Leo. I was just a teenager and Leo had come with several severe behavioral issues. He was both human and dog aggressive, destructive, not house broken, had sever separation anxiety, ran aware regularly and was leash reactive. Despite being uneducated in dog behavior at the time, I began to do my own research and was dedicated to teaching Leo how to feel safe, happy and confident so that he would overcome his many barriers. We walked every day and I tirelessly worked toward socializing him. When I moved to Alaska, I took Leo with me, he became my practice dog and we learned dog behavior together! In no time, he was attending puppy class with me, rolling on the floor letting puppies jump all over him. He was going on walks with other leash reactive dogs, HE was the calm presence that helped other dogs see that it was all okay. Leo learned to love people and other animals, he learn to trust and because of him and everything he overcame, my heart was set on making that difference in as many lives as I possibly could. In 2024, as a single parent, I made the difficult choice to "retire" from dog training to focus on feeding other passions and traveling with my daughter. During that time I have continued to have a lovely time with my own dogs and the dogs of close family members, but I am starting to feel the ache of wanting to help again. I have decided to offer limited services related to dog walking, drop in visits, play dates, nail trims and limited bathing/grooming. (Oh, did I mention I used to be a dog foster parent, groomer and kennel tech alongside my training?) I have outline my services in more detail below; however, feel free to reach out with any questions if you don't see what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you :) I am offering evening walks Monday - Friday, drop in visits and extended walks on Saturdays and Sundays. Dog Daycare is available for limited hours on Sundays and will be accepted on a case by case basis. Loose leash walking training can be provided in conjunction with walks at an additional cost. Please message for details. All dogs are required to be collared with identification for walks. I will request a microchip number if they have been chipped in the event of an emergency. For your dogs safety and mine: If your dog is an extreme puller, I may request to be allowed to use tools such as an easy walk harness and sort lead. If I do not have your dogs size, I may request you purchase one.

“Mariana was great! Dependable and and very good with our dogs. She was willing to walk all 3 of our dogs and came for a met and great ahead of time. She was so helpful to us and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: Growing up on a small farm has given me plenty of experiences with all kinds of animals, from dogs & cats to goats & chickens. My highest priority is making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I adapt to your pets- not the other way around. I’ve been petsitting for years and I love it so much it’s now my full time job. I enjoy organizing my schedule and making sure I can give punctual care to new and returning clients. I have lots of experience with many different kinds of animals, all with their own quirks and needs. I’m hyper vigilant about making sure cats & dogs are supervised, and creating a risk free environment for everyone’s peace of mind.

About: I have had dogs in my house since before I was born and have never gone a day with out dogs living at home. I love to take my own two dogs on walks and would love to help out others that don’t have the time or ability to take their own out on walks all the time. I currently have my two dogs, two cats and a little zoo made up of different types of pets. I typically work early mornings and I am off by noon most days so a quick afternoon walk is ideal for me. My services are available almost everyday from noon to five in the afternoon. Since I have so many of my own pets I prefer to pet sit at the clients house. I mainly offer dog walking but for any quick day trip over overnighter I am able to stop by to care for your pet and meet their needs.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies to senior companions. My patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals set me apart. Whether it’s providing basic training, administering medication, or ensuring plenty of playtime and affection, I treat every pet like family! No matter where I have lived in my past, animals have been constantly surrounding me. I take on a natural nurturing lifestyle and just want to make them as happy as possible! Safety and trust come first in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, loving environment, follow routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and happy.

About: I have been watching dogs on and off for many years, and I love the experiences I get with each dog I watch, whether it be waking up to their whiskers on my face, playing with them, or even just being around them. I have watched dogs ranging from big to small. I have also watched and walked a black lab and a pit bull at the same time, so multiple dogs are no problem. I have also given lots of baths to the smaller dogs, but I look forward to the experience of bathing larger dogs if asked. I hope to add your playful pooch to my experiences. I work at a doggy daycare as a dog handler/groomer Wednesday-Sunday mornings until 3, so I would not be available then, but after I would be.

About: I have a lot of experience with animal sitting, dog walking etc. Growing up my family has always had at least 3 dogs, I have had many cats in my lifetime as well. I have a flexible work schedule. I usually work Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but it varies. Typically, I work long hours around 10 or 12. I am able to do drop in visits for animals, I love to walk dogs. I provide many different services for animals, let me know what you need!
