Wildfire Safety Tips for Dog Owners

Summer in Nevada County means contending with the threat of wildfires. Here are some tips to help keep your dogs safe in fire season:

Pack a Pet Go Bag: Include food, water, bowls, leash/harness, carrier (if needed), treats, a favorite toy, medications, and copies of medical records. Keep the bag somewhere easy to grab.

Use a Pet Alert Sticker: Place a rescue alert sticker on a visible window or door to let first responders know how many pets are inside.

Practice Your Plan: Go over your family’s evacuation procedure and include your pets. Make sure dogs are comfortable loading into carriers or vehicles quickly. Communicate your evacuation plan to anyone who may care for your pets during fire season.

Keep ID Updated: Your dog should wear a collar with your name, address, and phone number. Microchips are a great backup, just make sure the information is up-to-date. Consider adding backup phone numbers (family or close friends) to your dog’s ID or microchip in case you are not reachable.

Limit Outdoor Time in Smoke: During smoky conditions, keep walks short and avoid strenuous activity. In heavy smoke, try to limit outdoor time to bathroom breaks only. Young, senior, and respiratory-compromised dogs are especially vulnerable.

Create a Clean Air Space: Close windows and doors. Use an air purifier or run your HVAC system with a clean filter. If possible, keep pets in one room with the best air quality.

Watch for Smoke Exposure Signs: Coughing, red or watery eyes, bright red gums, nasal discharge, lethargy, and appetite changes can all signal smoke irritation. Call your vet if you notice these.

Meet another one of our founding members, Aspen!

Aspen Landon is a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer and owner of Aspen’s Pawsitive Pet Services. She specializes in providing premium overnight in-home pet and farm care - meaning she stays in your home to care for your animals while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom, Aspen understands how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure when their humans are gone. She is committed to providing reliable and individualized care tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality.

Aspen is an East Coast native who moved to Nevada City in late 2021. She was thrilled to discover how many dedicated and loving pet parents there were in the area, and she soon established a thriving pet care business in Nevada County. She has experience working as a veterinary assistant and had the pleasure of teaching reward and communication based dog training classes at the local Petco during her first year in the community. She values honesty, integrity, clear communication, and compassion in her work with both humans and animals. She is comfortable working with a variety of species, from cats and dogs to horses, parrots, chickens, guinea pigs, and more! She is happy to provide care to animals who might have unique behavioral or medical needs. She also offers drop-in visits and dog walking services.

In addition to pet sitting, Aspen offers one-on-one, in-home training sessions and personalized training plans. She specializes in positive reinforcement and relationship-based methods that help dogs and their people build lasting trust and communication. Whether you’re working through puppy foundations, basic manners, or more complex behavioral challenges, Aspen brings a calm, compassionate presence and practical tools tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Her training experience also enhances her pet care work, especially with animals who require a little extra understanding and support.

In her free time, Aspen enjoys singing, dancing, cooking, and exploring the beautiful natural areas of Nevada County with her fiancé and their beloved chocolate Lab, Bailey. She feels incredibly lucky to serve and be part of this beautiful community!

This summer, I’ve spent time volunteering at local dog rescues and I wanted to spread the word about some beautiful dogs who are looking for their forever homes. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and hiking with most of them, and they are all so lovely. They are currently staying at Earth Angelz Rescue in Grass Valley. Check out their flyers below!

Spring has sprung and I’ve been having so much fun walking dogs and caring for sweet animals in the community. I feel so blessed to have a job that allows me time to bond with amazing critters and their people, and I’m currently taking new clients.

Busy week ahead? Perhaps your dog would benefit from a walk to break up their day. I’d be honored to help! I have room in my schedule for both weekly, recurring dog walks, and one-off walks. My housesitting schedule for spring and summer is quickly filling up, but I do still have some openings. Reach out if you would like support caring for your pet(s). You can reach me via Facebook messenger or by texting/ calling (585) 474-0444.

I had to share what my days have looked like this summer. It's such an honor and so much fun to care for these special animals. Between housesitting, walks, and training sessions, almost every day this summer has been full and unique. A big thank you to all the humans who trust me with your beloved pets! I love what I do and I'm grateful for you all.
NEW AND EXISTING CLIENTS:
This summer is already booked up for housesitting, but I still have space for dog walking, drop-in visits, and obedience training sessions. If you have a trip planned for this fall or winter, reach out for housesitting information. Don't wait, slots fill up quickly!

Welcome Humans and Furry Friends!
My name is Aspen and I’m an experienced pet care provider and dog trainer. My offerings include overnight pet sitting, farm care, dog walking, drop-in pet care and basic dog obedience training. I pride myself in providing outstanding, loving, attentive care to dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, horses, chickens, and more. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry friends at home while you are away, and in many cases they might require extra special care, such as a special diet, exercise, medications, potty procedures, vet visits, etc, and I ensure in my care that their routines will stay as stable as possible when you travel.
I am trained in pet first aid and pet CPR, and I am fully insured through PetCare Insurance.
If you have any questions, or would like to set up services, you can reach me at 585-474-0444 or message me directly on this page. You can also visit my webpage, aspenspetservices.com to see a list of my services and prices.
