Dog Walkers in Olympic Valley, CA

“Lindi was awesome. Highly recommended. Punctual, responsible, and trustworthy. She was flexible with changing booking times at the last minute which was great. She was mindful of locking all the door locks behind her which I thought was a nice touch. Although my poor, scared rescue always hid, Lindi tried her best to coax her but to no avail. Lindi sent me pictures of her hiding in the corner and it would make me giggle. Will hire Lindi again once my rescue gets more confident. THANK YOU, Lindi!”

About: I have taken dog training classes at the local animal shelter. I offer puppies plenty of time for teething tug-of-war and have tons of patience with the geriatric slow walkers. I work part time, close to home, which offers plenty of time for dog walking, drop ins and over night care. My hours are flexible. I would keep your dog safe on a leash and have a large crate if that would help them feel secure in a different environment.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for years and grew up around them. I love animals and am glad to take care of them while their owners are busy. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them come to me and smell me to get used to me. I can walk them, and put them back in their crate.

“Amber was fantastic -- flexible, responsive, and great with dogs! She also braved blizzard weather to walk Kai (who loved the frigid temperatures as much as he loved Amber!). I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in Tahoe and I love the outdoors! Bringing dogs for walks in nature and seeing them free and happy makes me happy. My family has always loved animals, especially dogs. We've always had a dog at home for as long as I can remember, and they've brought us so much joy and happiness. Growing up i've cared for dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs and a bunny. I've experienced caring for many different pets and I understand there unique personalities and needs. With me you can trust that your pet will be in good hands and get all the attention and happiness that they deserve! I'm currently taking classes at Cuesta college so the best time for me to care for your pet is Friday-Sunday or on Monday's and Wednesdays. Count on me to provide a range of dedicated services for your pets. From invigorating walks to ensure they get their exercise and fresh air, to ensuring they're well-fed and content, I've got all aspects of their care covered. Your pets will not only receive the essentials but also enjoy moments of companionship and attention that will make their time with me enjoyable and fulfilling.

“Haydin was wonderful! Very commutative and great to work with!”

About: I've had an assortment of animals my whole life and am an avid animal lover. I have had dogs my entire adult life. All the way from puppies to seniors with special needs, short term and long term fosters, and rescues with unique personalities. I have also had dogs that needed surgical procedures and rehab so I know how to take care of animals who need physical therapy and/or extra special attention. I am known in my circles as the dog whisper and am on all of my friends emergency contact for anything that they need advice with. I believe in building a bond of trust and doing positive reinforcement training techniques with animals and humans alike. Pet and house sitting is my main gig. Which means that I have an open schedule and am available to help out with your fur babies. I would love to go to the beach, hike the trails and go on local adventures with your doggie(s)! Or I'll bring a stack of books and hang out with your kitty. Every animal and environment has their own unique set of needs. I look forward to developing a bond with your fur baby and getting to know what they want and need from me in order to make sure their physical, environmental and mental needs are being fulfilled.

“Reliable.... quick to respond. Audra took my 2 big goldens on a long walk in the slippery snow.... and they had a blast and took a long nap afterwards. Thank you so much! We will be return customers!”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs my whole life. I watch a lot of my friends dogs when they go away and always make sure they are happy, fed, and included on adventures. I have experience taking dogs trail running, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing. I currently work as a trail guide with horses part time. If your pet is okay being around horses, they can come to work with me. They do have to be in a kennel or tied up while there are guests, but they would be let out and walked multiple times throughout the day. On days I’m not working, your pet will be with me all day, whether it’s hiking, biking, or running! I typically don’t work on Tuesdays and weekends. I live on a quiet back road with a big yard. There is not a fence. My neighbor has a friendly yellow lab that we often take for walks and care for as well. There is a big trail system behind my house and I often take dogs up there for exercise. Inside the house, I am always open to having a dog on the couch or bed as long as the owner is. I am not a partier and am an early morning person. Your dog will be sure to get a morning and evening walk at the minimum. The dogs I walk usually come for any adventure with me, but if you have a senior dog that just needs a place to hang out and be loved on, that’s fine too!

“Great person. Very attentive to the dogs. Sounds great pictures and reports. Most reliable sitter I’ve had”

About: My partner and I both grew up with cats and dogs in our households and we love pet sitting! We do not have any animals of our own due to frequent travel and not wanting the long-term commitment at this point in life, but Rover a great opportunity to fill the void of not having animals around. My boyfriend works remotely and I work on a hybrid schedule with the opportunity to come home for lunch on the days I’m in office. We have ample time to tend to pets and we enjoy getting outside for walks to break up our workdays. Having grown up with many pets, I'm comfortable with them being on furniture and having them feel at home in my space. I believe the best way for animals to feel comfortable is by sticking to their normal daily schedule.

“Max is exactly what we needed! He came over and let our dogs out when we were on a long bike ride. He even came over the evening before to meet the dogs because one of them can be very shy. We’ll definitely be using him for future sits!”

About: Hello! My name is Amy and I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel and two cats. After leaving home, I always wanted to get a dog of my own, but in my current situation, my apartment does not accept pets full time. In order to fill that void, I have looked for other ways to care for these special animals! I often walk and watch after friends' dogs during the week and weekends. I am an extremely active person. I run almost everyday and would love to have a side kick to take on a stroll throughout Olympic Valley! I currently have a full time, remote job for a sporting goods company, but often have many days with spare time. I make my own hours so I am able to be flexible during the week for walks or visits. In addition, I am available to discuss weekend care watching if our schedules align! My current apartment has a yard and is able to have pets visit. I always keep my place is the safest possible condition for friends' dogs and babies - yours would be no different! In addition, living in Olympic Valley, I am a short distance from many dog friendly hikes and beaches.

“Alexander was great! He communicated perfectly and gave my Airedale some fun and long walks. A+.”

About: Our animal companions need compassionate connection and care, especially when during times when their routines are disrupted by our human schedules. I aim to provide calm and gentle care during transitional times to alleviate any stress and anxiety. I love to play and regulate energy through games and activities! I have a wide range of experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, ages, and care needs. My favorite activities with my dog pals have been hiking, playing games while working on farm projects, and snuggles at the end of a long day of play! Building a loving, playful, trusting relationship with an animal companion is such a gift. It's a joy to be part the network of care your animal companion needs to live their best life. My work is in landscaping, ethnobotany and land stewardship. My schedule is flexible and there is plenty of time and space to build in play and walks. My routine is adapted to fit your pet's schedule. My background is in hospitality and guest services. It is my joy to care for your home, making sure everything is well for your return.

About: Many years experience, owner of two pups (4 months & 10 years), adventure enthusiast. Love all animals and making sure they're safe and happy! Walks, feeding, medication administration, socializing are all a specialty. I am a second year Master's student with a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I am a Master's of Public Health student working remotely. My schedule is flexible depending on the needs of the pets, let me know and I can accommodate! I ensure that pets are fed, have water, are exercised (as needed per owners request), litter boxes are cleaned, fences are locked/closed, and overall that your pet is happy!

About: I raised my golden retriever from a puppy and took care of him until his senior days. I love taking pets on outdoor adventures, hikes, swimming. I am very attentive and caring. I am currently working part time, and am available every day of the week to watch your pet. Overnight or day sitting, I am happy to do it! I am a renter, so pets are not allowed in my home. I am craving some pet loving! I would love to take your pet out or come to your home.

About: Puppies are my expertise! Dog owner and volunteer at the local Truckee Tahoe humane society. Fostered over 30 puppies and dogs. Love taking dogs on fun adventures around Tahoe. My schedule is open for pretty much anything. Live locally and can accommodate anywhere around the lake. Prefer north/west/east shore. But open to other locations around Tahoe. My dog is family. So I will do the same. I understand how important pups are treat them as I would want my dog treated.

“Kristina was wonderful and would highly recommend! She was very responsive and communicative. She let me know when she was heading over and provided pictures of Baden looking very happy on his walk. Kristina even accommodated a last minute request to let out another dog we had staying at the house. Would happily hire her again next time I need dog walking services in the Tahoe area.”
