Dog Walkers in Southside Highlands, CA

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. 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 approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.

About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.

About: Hi, I’m Monica, a Truckee local, animal lover, and pet owner with two cats and a dog of my own. A huge reason why I was interested in doing this is because I know firsthand how hard it can be to find a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter in Tahoe. Leaving your animals with someone else can be stressful, and I want people to feel confident that their pets are genuinely cared for while they’re away. I live an active mountain lifestyle and am great with dogs that love getting outside, but equally happy caring for shy cats, senior pets, or animals that just need calm companionship and consistency. I’ve also spent time involved in ski patrol and search and rescue environments, which I think speaks to the kind of person I am, responsible, calm under pressure, attentive, and safety-oriented. I’m currently building my Rover profile and offering introductory pricing while I establish reviews and relationships with local clients. I promise to care for your animals the same way I’d want someone caring for mine ❤️ I work remotely running my own accounting business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive with the animals I care for. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pets and home with respect. I prioritize your pet's well being, adhering to routines and ensuring a clean environment. Trust is so important; I maintain your pet's space meticulously, respecting privacy, and providing attentive, reliable care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience and dedication to personalized pet care. Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals and living next to a farm provided me with invaluable hands-on experience in animal care from a young age. My commitment to ensuring each dog feels safe, loved, and engaged during their time with me makes my services exceptional. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and deeply passionate about the well-being of every pet I care for. I do work full time but on days I do work, I will be able to provide walks in the morning and in the early evening! I would love to work out a schedule that works best for you and your pet ! I recently moved to truckee and live very close to hiking and walking trails where I would be able to walk your pet. My house has a spacious, fenced in front yard where your pet could play!

“Amara is such a gem! She is fantastic with my high energy buddy on walks and helps me reinforce heel and good walking manners while still making sure he has a blast! He is a happy, calm guy when I get home from a long day at work. You can tell that she really cares and always takes extra time to give some love to my cat too, even though she doesn’t have to. Finally, I really appreciate her dependability, excellent communication, and professionalism. I have struggled at times to find that here. I highly recommend her!”

“We can’t wait to use Lindi again. My dogs aren’t necessarily easy with their leash aggression and lack of social skills and she handled them so well. Not just anyone can walk my dogs and I knew they were safe in her hands. I’ll never hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Lindi!”

About: I received formal education and receive continual education of cat and dog behavior at my job as Lead Animal Caretaker for the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe. I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated as such. I have experience working with and handling dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. Dogs with some “undesirable” behaviors are not a problem for me, and I am prepared to adapt to each dog’s needs. Chances are that I have dealt with it before. I will create a positive and enriching experience for your dog no matter what. I am free in the late morning and afternoons on Wednesdays and Thursdays, please feel free to reach out about specific times if you need to! You can be assured that your dog’s safety and emotional well being are my number one priority. They will always be kept on a leash, and they will be comfortable and happy.

“Sage was great! She came by after my other walker cancelled the day before, went on a nice long walk and took the cutest photo of my pup!”

About: I recently just moved out to Truckee from Aspen! I love animals but travel too much for one of my own right now. I grew up with dogs my entire life and had 4 living with me before I moved. Using this app because I really miss them. We loved all things hiking and playing. Experience with dogs of all ages, all were different breeds and on different medications. I work 100% remote so I have flexibility in my schedule for walks and adventures. No animals are currently in my home, and since I work remote I won’t be gone all day :) I also have a SUV vehicle. Happy to give your dog all the attention and love! Lots of experience with talking my dogs in Vermont on leashed walks, or trail hikes.

“Malia was great to work with. She had great communication. Did a good job confirming times and clarifying what we were comfortable with. She picked up my Aussie mix and took her on a pack walk with a couple of other dogs on a nice long hike in Tahoe while we skied. We will definitely be booking her 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.

“Luke was great and Kris made a quick connection with my dogs who are not always quick to warm up. Thank you both!”

“Zac was a great help when I couldn't walk my dog because of an injury for 3 days. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions. We have a friendly, playful 9 month Great Dane who is already over 100 lbs so I wanted someone who was comfortable with that size. He is friendly, was here on time and was good with my dog. The pup came back happy and was pleased to see Zac on subsequent visits. I recommend him and will use again when needed.”

About: I love animals and started dog care for a family in high school. I’m a runner so I ran with the large dogs and learned to adjust walks to the dogs. I don’t have a dog of my own so i love caring for other people’s dogs. I’m a student at Chico State, but I’m available to dog walk on Thursday’s and weekends. I’m available for house sitting every day of the week :) Any dog I am sitting will enjoy either a leisurely stroll or a run depending on the dog. I love both dogs and cats (and all other animals) so I will shower your fur babies with love.

About: Princess and the Paw is dedicated to providing your pet with the love, care, and companionship they deserve. We offer pet care services, including dog walking, feeding, and playtime activities in a stress free environment resulting in improved physical and mental well being of your pet. I have years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, and other small exotic animals. I work from home in a stress free environment allowing me plenty of quality time with your pet. I'm available for short or long term care with minimal notice. I do not have a fenced in yard but live in a pet friendly community with plenty of space to roam and exercise your pet. I love hiking and walking and provide multiple outdoor breaks during the day. I have a pet safe balcony. There are stairs in my place and thought it would be informative to share.

“Larissa was great! Very responsible, good communicator and established good relationship with Pisco!”

“Emma was great a total lifesaver for these two rambunctious doodles. She was a great quick communicator and these two would probably go another 10 miles a day if given the opportunity having a good mile to a mile and a half walk, every other day has been super helpful to me. When I am back in the Truckee Tahoe area, I will be certain to reach out fto her again.”

Holly S.

“Thank you! Scott was fantastic with the dogs. Everything was great. Scott was very responsive and responsible. I will use him again. Thank you!”

“All around great walker! Prompt replies, timely arrivals, friendly demeanor and did not require much explaining.”
