Dog Walking in Truckee

“Have had Chloe as my daily walker for two weeks now and she is *fantastic.* Very communicative, friendly, and takes excellent care of my dog. I will happily continue being her client as long as I need a walker and as long as she can fit us into her schedule.”

“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”

“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.”

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

About: What sets me apart is the attentiveness, patience, and reliability I bring to pet care. Through years of working with kids in outdoor education and ski instruction, I’ve developed strong awareness, calm communication, and the ability to adapt to individual needs — qualities that translate naturally into caring for animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who benefit from consistency to senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. Living an active lifestyle in Truckee allows me to offer engaging walks and hikes when appropriate, while always respecting your dog’s comfort level. I also prioritize communication and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and active lifestyle. I work full days at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort on Mondays and Tuesdays, and occasionally Thursdays and Fridays, so I plan pet care around those commitments to ensure every dog receives consistent, unrushed attention. On my available days and mornings/evenings, I prioritize walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. Living in the Truckee area also allows me to offer engaging outdoor time when appropriate, while always respecting each dog’s energy level and needs. I value reliability and communication, so owners can expect dependable scheduling and regular updates. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions closely while providing attentive interaction through walks, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular photo updates and communication so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

“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!”

“Liz was fantastic!”

“Isabel was easy to communicate with and took allie for a great walk!”

“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!”

Joy F.

“Evan did a great job with our dog. He took him on a walk and gave him lots of attention during play time. He sent great update photos and made sure he had water and food. Would highly recommend!”

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!

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal advocacy. I didn’t just start sitting yesterday; I launched my first pet-care business in middle school, earning the trust of my neighborhood by providing reliable walks and check-ins. I offer more than just a walk around the block. My background is rooted in years of hands-on experience dealing with diverse animal needs, from the high energy of a kitten to the delicate requirements of a senior dog. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind. That’s why I treat every animal in my care with the same attention I give my own senior dog and young cat. Look forward to plenty of pics! I have a very flexible schedule. Each week is a little different and I work from home. I can change and re-arrange my work meetings depending on your animals' needs! No matter the location, these are my non-negotiables: Safety First: I never leave pets unattended with high-risk toys or in unmonitored social situations. Health Checks: Given my experience with senior dogs, I’m always "scanning" for changes in energy, appetite, or bathroom habits. Communication: You’ll get photos and a "report card" after every visit. I know how much it means to see your pet's happy face while you're gone. Cleanliness: I am a stickler for clean bowls and tidy litter boxes. A clean environment is a happy environment!

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've cared for dogs age 3mo-17yrs. Detail-oriented to dietary needs and maintaining routines. Most of my adult life has been spent caring for multiple dogs at once so I feel very comfortable balancing the unique needs and personalities of each dog that comes into my care. Lots of experience handling medical needs of animals, administering medication, providing extra accommodation, and tailoring care to your dog's comfort. I have a flexible freelance schedule so I can work around the needs and lifestyle of your pets so they can maintain a consistent routine. I'm big on communication and making sure each experience is positive for all animals and humans involved. I feel very comfortable tailoring my care to you and your pet's needs.

About: I grew up with a multitude of dogs and there were often litters of puppies running around in our household so I have a lot of experience with puppies and full grown dogs. I’m from Nebraska and don’t currently own a dog but have all my weekends free to offer dog sitting services. I don’t have any other animal at my house but would love to take the dog/dogs to the park to socialize them and also on at least one walk a day if not more. I have a very active lifestyle so if your dog does too I can take them to Millcreek to go on hikes as well. If your dog isn’t as active or is too old for such strenuous activities then no worries I will still be able to spend a lot of time with the dogs on the weekends so they won’t be alone.

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.

“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 am finishing up nursing school and when I am not studying, I hang out with my best pal, Tessa Rose (my dog). I believe life is best when accompanied by four legged friends. I am very type A and am thorough and meticulous in all that I do - your dogs happiness is my priority and should I be house sitting I leave places better than I found them. I am reasonable , flexible and looking to help you out if you have to part with your dogs. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and will do my best to make sure they are well kept and happy until your return. I have a pretty flexible schedule. Where I am mostly free in the mornings and evenings with nursing school in the afternoons. I typically walk my pup in the morning, midday and evenings. When I don’t have class , I usually take my dog for a big hike or snow adventure conditions and season depending. I keep the norms that the dogs are used to; consistency is important for dogs (and people too!) I give dogs love , pets , and walks.

About: I am a Tahoe native living in the city without my pets. So naturally I love being outdoors and enjoying the company of furry friends. I have been surrounded by different types of animals my whole life (dogs, cats, rats, ferrets, horses) and I know how special and unique each creature is (and I love them for it). Growing up around animals gave me a great understanding of their behavior and a love for their company. I have pet sat in a few locations around the world. This has given me a further understanding of both animals and their owners. I am a professional pet person who understands what it takes to care for your pets properly. My goal is always to make your pets feel happy and safe!
