Dog Walking North Valleys

“Shayla was fantastic with our dog Radar! I was kept up to date every step of the way. Shayla left wonderful notes and adorable pictures. I recommend her highly for any future pet care.”

About: I have owned and cared for all types of animals my whole life. 90lb malamute to 7lb chihuahua. Cats, chickens, birds, horses.. i am a friend to all creatures and I would love to care for your pet while you are busy. I love long walks and am not afraid of the weather unless it effects the animal. I currently have an open schedule and am looking forward to making some cash while getting used to the area and waiting for my winter job to start. Safety is my first priority. I prefer harness while walking dogs and try to find routes away from any main or busy roads. I am prepared with dog bags and water for all pups. I enjoy long walks to a patk like area when possible.

“She is awesome! She was great with the dogs, they got along with her great. She was always on time and thankfully thanks to her dog walking I didn’t have to come home to puppy messes to clean up. Very trustworthy and will definitely be using her services again next time we head out of town. We highly recommend her!”

“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: 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.

“Miranda was right on time and Hawkey had a great walk. Appreciate the rover card snapshots. Thanks!”

“We are really impressed with Sierra. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. You can really tell she loves animals, she takes care of our Duke like he is her own. She not only gives us a daily summary of their visit but also great pix of their time. Sierra is attentive & mindful. She brings in our newspaper or any packages. We highly recommend her. Thank you again Sierra🌸”

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.

“We appreciate you Cindy!”

“She took good care of my Callie girl while I was out snowboarding. Took her on a walk and sent cute photos and videos. She was very communicative. I'll definitely use Mariana again when I need a Callie walk!”

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: Offering pet care in the North Valleys areas. Lots of experience with animals of all kinds, from farms to homes to cages to tanks. I currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats, 1 horse, and a bearded dragon of my own! Over the years and growing up I've owned rabbits, horses, goats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and cared for even more. I grew up on a horse ranch throughout my teen years and have worked with many vets (large and small animal). My availability is open and flexible. I don't travel and I don't go on vacation much, so I am always available to care for your animals. I have a huge back yard with 4-20ft dog leads that dogs go on when let outside for playtime and potty time. If needed, I have 1 large dog crate available to use and 1 small dog crate available to use, as well. All pets are treated as my own, allowed on furniture, in rooms, and are free to roam in the house at all times unless they need to be separated for safety reasons.

“Connor was great with our dog! Our dog is easily distracted, and he taught him some techniques to improve his leash walking. Would definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs my entire life. From tiny chihuahuas to labs. Every pet is different, and I make sure they are cared for based on their individual needs. Currently freelancing, which allows a flexible schedule during the week to care for your furry ones. Have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. I have kids that love to play with dogs and a cat that is very mellow. At your home, instructions will be followed. Anything from a quick check in, to overnights.

“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.”

About: Hi, We’re Locke & Chris. Your friendly neighborhood pet caregivers! Animals of all types are very special to us. We treat our two dogs as our children and I will do the same for yours. My partner and I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals and I am an expert at making sure your pet knows they are understood, loved, and cared for while also keeping them entertained throughout our visits :) I’m also a professional photographer so you’ll receive some great photos of your pet as well! After our visits, you’ll come home to a happy animal, a clean home, and a small treat for you and your little one! We are very fortunate to say that we do this full-time! This allows us to dedicate our full attention and time to caring for your furry (or non-furry. No judgment here!) pals when life calls you! We record the activities we do throughout the day and have entertainment, such as toys, ropes, and treats on hand at all times. We tailor each visit to your dog's needs and have experience administering medication if needed. We strive to ensure your dog is feeling happy and loved throughout our time together. We can stay with your pets in the comfort of their own home or take them with us on an adventure! It’ll be our own version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (more like Furries Bueller’s Day Off… too much?) You’ll receive nice photos and videos through the service and a summary of our escapade at the end of each visit! We ask that each of our clients leave us feedback at the end of our visits to not only help us improve as a business owners, but to also show prospective clients why we’re the highest rated pet sitters in the area! Make sure to check out the reviews section of our profile!

About: About Me As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how crucial it is to know your best family friend is safe, loved, and kept to their exact routine while you're away. I am available full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care tailored directly to your schedule. Whether your pup needs active outdoor exercise or overnight care in the comfort of their own home, they will receive plenty of one-on-one affection, reassurance, and engaging playtime. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I focus on active, fulfilling exercise tailored to your dog’s specific needs. For high-energy pups, I offer long, vigorous walks and outside adventures filled with toys and interactive play. After every visit or walk, I send frequent photo, video, and text updates—complete with fun anecdotes—so you always feel connected to their day. House Sitting (In Your Home) When house sitting at your home, I ensure your dog’s routine remains entirely undisturbed. Your pup is free to roam, relax on the furniture, and cuddle whenever they need comfort. At night, they have the option to sleep with me or stick to their own designated bed or sleeping space. Safety & Compatibility To ensure a calm, safe environment during walks and visits, I only accept new dogs who are well-socialized and comfortable around children and other pets. I am willing to work with other dogs but need to get to know them first! I know how important peace of mind is, and I treat every pup with the same love and care I give my own. I am very flexible and am available around the clock! I am looking for routine walks with the same pups so we can build good relationships and get to know each other super well! I am also very happy to provide drop-in or house sitting support on a pre determined schedule. Careful, gentle care in a doggy's own space to make sure they are comfortable and happy! I take my cues from them and keep in contact with their parents to make sure we're all on the same page.
