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.
“Melissa is an amazing dog walker! She was always punctual and reliable. She would send photos and videos and obviously really loved and cared for our dog. It was very comforting to know that our dog was in such good hands <3”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for over 25 years and have been pet sitting for nearly as long. I have over 10 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and have ample experience with administering medications of all kinds—your fur baby’s needs are my top priority! Goose and I lead a very active lifestyle—we walk multiple times daily and spend our weekends out enjoying all that Tahoe has to offer. We always welcome adventure buddies and would love it if your pup wants to be our +1 on our next adventure! I currently work from home 3 days a week. For Tahoe Donner residents, I can take your pup for a midday stroll during the work week (M, T, F). For all other Truckee folks I am available in the evenings on the days listed above and any time on the weekends. When I am spending time with your pup their safety and happiness is my number one priority. Unless a group walk is requested, they will receive one-on-one attention and affection. Working on training or need a brush up on on-leash manners? Ask me about training walks!
“Amara is great. She is detailed oriented. She took the dog to snow and lake to let him have fun. She also kindly refilled the dog’s water and wiped his paws. She is also super easy to communicate and got logistics like key / date change very smoothly. Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 25 years of experience working with pets, from training playful puppies to providing compassionate care for elderly or disabled animals. No matter their age, needs, or temperament, I’m confident and capable of giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. I work from home from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility in the afternoons and evenings. I’m available for walks and pet sitting after 2 p.m., and I truly enjoy both morning and evening walks—having a furry companion along makes them even better! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get walks when needed, cuddles when wanted, and space when preferred. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs. I care for every animal as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a healthy, happy environment.
“Thrilled that I found Lindi to take care of my boy Rex. They hit if off right away and it's been a great relief to know shes watching and taking care of him. Could not be happier with her service and attention to detail.”
“Zac is great! Always on time, communicates well and always offering to help do things around the house/driveway when he was over (we had a few big storms during the weeks he was walking our dogs). We will definitely use Zac again.”

“Can’t recommend Sarah enough. She took time out of her day to come and meet my dog before the day she would be walking him. She sent regular updates and pictures. My dog had a great time and I am so grateful for Sarah!”
“Amelia is a wonderful dog walker! I think she loves my poochies as much as I do. She communicates very well, always shows up on time, and is able to make adjustments if asked without any issues. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! For starters: I live with three amazing rescues dogs; Mazy, Sid and Jack. Jack is on medication for his back leg joint because he’s getting older so I do have experience with medicated doggos. Growing up I was in 4H since the age of 9 so I had great responsibilities on raising animals. I truly love watching them grow into their own personalities. Having that responsibility keeps me on task with what an animal needs in their daily life; food, water, cardio(depending on size) and lots of love! I’m currently taking online college classes so I will be available most mornings. My schedule is flexible so I can make arrangements. I’m looking for ongoing long-term schedules if possible. Please reach out to me if you’d like! I have a fenced yard for a smaller to medium dog. There is a park nearby my house, it is dog friendly and lots of grass to run in.
“Christie was amazing! Very quick to reply and communication was great. She even braved a big snow storm to let our girl out and make sure she got lunch. Will definitely be reaching out to her again 😊 Thank you so much Christie!”
About: I have 2 Crested Geckos, and have lived with 4 different friends who owned cats. Within the last year I have walked coworkers dogs countless times and have dog-sat for them as well. I have pet-sat for coworkers in their homes from one night, up to one month. I have also volunteered at the Truckee Humane Society for about a year as well. I have flexible but consistent work hours that allow me to create a routine to take care of your pets. I love going for walks with dogs as well as hanging out and giving both dogs and cats the pets they deserve. I care for pets based off of what they need and what they ask of me. I listen to body language to understand what they need. I am content giving pets their space, or giving them all of the pets they want. I also pay extra attention to bathroom cues to limit accidents within the house.
About: I am an experienced dog mom who has raised two dogs from puppy to senior citizen. My dog recently passed away after 16+ great years, and I want to keep some furry friends in my life while helping out neighbors. I know the importance of affection, exercise and routine in a pet's life. I love taking pups on walks in the neighborhood or Legacy Trail, hiking or throwing the ball. Extra cuddles and treats included. :) I know the special needs of senior dogs and puppies and can provide personalized care. I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I can adapt to your needs. I love to get outside with your pups and will work with all weather conditions to make that happen. I am respectful of your home and trustworthy. Before leaving, I will make sure that your animal is comfortably settled. Your pet's safety is my number one priority!
“This was my first time working with Karen and she was great. She came over the day before the scheduled walk to meet me and my pup. She has a really calm energy which was soothing for me leaving my dog in the care a stranger. I came home to a very happy dog. I’ll book Karen again.”
About: Hi there, I’m Olivia and can’t wait to meet your fur family! My parents had a sweet spot for rescues and adopted dogs from shelters throughout my childhood. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds/sizes, ages, personalities, and levels of health. Over the past 15 years I have also sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I work remotely for a local company so my availability is pretty flexible and will allow me to be with your pup(s) as often as needed. Safety is my top priority. They will be leashed for potty breaks if there isn’t a fenced yard at home and on walks, especially while exploring busy trails and beaches.
About: I have been caring for animals for the last decade whether it was my own cat (sadly passed last year), my grandma’s dog, and my brother’s puppy. I love animals! I love to play with them and make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I have my own small creative business that I run out of my home. I look forward to and appreciate taking breaks to play with furry friends! I would prefer to pet sit at your home as my space is filled with work in progress projects. I have a smaller SUV and can take your dog to the dog park or beach if preferred
