Dog Walking Aims

About: Hello, my name is Elise. We just moved back to Oregon after living in Nevada for four years so I’m ready to start my side business back up. I was working for Lyon County School District before we moved and I plan to work for a the district again once we get settled. We have four friendly dogs of our own and a 9 yr old daughter. I’d love to help care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m trustworthy, dependable and I have a crazy love of dogs. I’d be happy to watch your dogs in my home if they are dog-friendly, otherwise I am able to come to your home to care for them. I have complete availability at this time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and forming an amazing working relationship. Thank you so much for reading! I’m currently working Monday-Friday but have breaks through out my day. My schedule can adjust to fit you and your fur baby’s schedule. 😊 😊 I have a secured, fenced yard and can provide extra safety precautions. We also will be installing security cameras on the exterior of our home.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have always had both dogs and cats as part of my family. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with pets of all ages, especially senior animals. I currently have a 16-year-old dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets often need. I also worked in kennels when I was younger, which gave me experience handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Over the years, I've become comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, maintaining schedules, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I know that every pet is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or a little extra TLC in their senior years, you can count on me to provide loving, reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a standard 8 AM to 5 PM schedule in the Clackamas area, which allows me to provide morning and evening visits during the week. For clients located nearby, I'm also available for walks and check-ins during my lunch hour. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, making them ideal for pet sitting, extended visits, and additional walks. Because I'm local to Clackamas, I can often accommodate nearby clients with reliable and consistent care. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand the importance of maintaining routines and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick walk, feeding visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I currently only provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are often most comfortable staying in their familiar environment and routine. My top priority is always safety, followed closely by making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities, and I adjust my care accordingly. Whether it's a quick check-in or a walk, you can trust that your pet's well-being and happiness will always come first. 🐾

About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.

“Gema was very kind and patient with my puppy and quickly got her to warm up to her and get over her new person nervousness. She was very kind on their walks and playtime. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.

About: I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, crazy cats and shy cats. I know each animal has a different way of life. I take into consideration all of their favors and sensitivities. I want each animal to feel loved and as comfortable as possible while they are away from their parents. I mostly have open availability. I usually only work at night for about five hours for about only three days a week. I have a pretty flexible schedule and if you contact me, we can work something out! I live in an apartment. I have a small backyard with no fence. I have a park nearby where I can walk dogs. I am also willing to come to the animals home and care for them there as well.

“Deanna is a fantastic communicator, always so cheerful and positive. I really appreciate this when work days are tough, she adds some happy to my day when she send pics of Lola enjoying her walks. :)”

About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.

About: I just moved to Portland and I work remotely so I can definitely spend time with any pets I care for! Growing up my family always had pets and I loved taking care of them! My family currently has one dog and anytime I go back to Southern California to visit I love hanging out with her. Throughout my life I've always been the one to call for pet sitting when neighbors and friends go away on vacation. I really love taking care of their dogs and cats while they're away. Along with helping my friends and family take care of their pets I've also worked at a pet supply store where I interacted with animals daily. Before moving to Portland I lived in Bend where I had a good amount of repeat pet sitting gigs and I loved them like they were my own. Before moving to Oregon I lived in San Francisco for about 12 years. While living in San Francisco I volunteered with the SPCA which was definitely a great experience! I've always loved animals and I feel like I am just happier around them :D I currently work from home so I can spend all day everyday with the pets I care for! I love going on walks throughout the week and my work schedule is flexible so I can take your pet out anytime :) I follow all rules your pet currently has so it doesn’t disrupt their daily routine. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable while in my care.
