Dog Walking Alfalfa

“Sydney was great with our dogs! They’re definitely not the type to make friends quickly, and it took a bit for them to warm up to her. But she was so patient and actually put in the time to earn their trust, which was a huge relief for us. Now they’re totally comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough if you have dogs that are a little picky with new people.”

“Caitlin was great! She is so kind, friendly, and caring! She took great care of my dog and worked with me through all the craziness of moving places! You can tell she really loves and cares about animals! She is also a great communicator and leaves a detailed report card!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and patient, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats when my you may need! I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your dogs or cats in your home anytime you need.

About: Growing up I we always had pets, from the youngest I can remember, I’ve done it all; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, hampsters, hermit crabs, aquariums, as well as stopping to save roads and frogs from the road! (I currently still do this!). Let me know if I could help you! I work full time. At the moment I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. Depending on location and service I can do some things after I’m off work at 9-9:30PM We are very conscious about not letting pets out or escaping from our yard, I take the same seriousness with other peoples pets. We have GPS collars that constant track our fur babies. Whatever I do with your pet’s, you can trust they will be taken care of and loved.

About: I have several years of both informal and formal house and pet care experience. My background spans caring for pets and homes for friends, colleagues, their extended networks, and now clients through a trusted, review-based service. I’ve looked after playful dogs, affectionate cats, and senior pets requiring special attention, as well as smaller animals. My services range from overnight house and pet sitting to dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during the day. Responsibilities have included maintaining daily routines, administering basic medications, providing exercise and enrichment, keeping homes secure and clean, and ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. I approach every assignment—whether a quick walk, a full day of company, or an extended stay—with the same responsibility, care, and respect I’d expect from someone looking after my own home and pets. For overnight stays, I do travel with my sweet dog, Potter, whom I’ve had for over seven years. He’s well-socialized, gentle, and gets along wonderfully with dogs and people. He’s neutral to most cats, though there are a few he’s decided just aren’t his vibe. We have had many successful dogsits together. He can also come with me for drop in visits if you would like a playmate for your dog. As a remote employee with a highly flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Working from home means I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings and evenings. I can adjust my work hours around a pet’s needs—whether that’s extra snuggles, medication at a specific time, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and keep pets’ routines as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding and medication schedules, exercise routines, or special care needs—and remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and other safety considerations to prevent escapes or accidents, and I ensure pets have safe, cozy spaces where they can relax. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing daily walks, a cat who prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet requiring gentle attention, my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing both their pets and home are in responsible, caring hands.

“She walked our big “difficult” dog, and made it seem like no issue! She also came at a moments notice and and was extremely punctual. Would recommend!!”

“Alex was so patient and kind with our dog Littles. This was Littles' first time going walking with a pet sitter and he tried to guard the house and scare her off. However Alex was kind enough to come again that very evening while we were home to spend some time with him so that he could get to know her better. And even though he was nervous again the next time she came, she spent time with him, giving him treats, and finally got him to warm up enough so they could take a walk. And of course Littles enjoyed the walk! I will definitely use Alex again when we are in town and need a pet sitter.”

“Jazmin was great. I live in Portland and was coming to Bend for a few days. I was hiking South Sister and couldn't leave Hope all day without breaks (and belly rubs). Jazmin and I connected before I came to Bend, she was very responsive and then was able to meet with me the day I arrived to do a meet and greet.and then stop by several times while I was hiking. Hope loves her!”

“Joann sent me adorable pics of my puppy when they were on their walk. She kept me updated and is very professional. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Yonah showed up a few minutes early for this first walk with my pups and handled my very reactive dog with patience and kindness. We arranged this as a way to get to know the dogs before an overnight stay and I’m so glad we did as I now know that Yonah can work with my sweet boy who has so much anxiety.”

About: I have two Pomeranians back home in Brazil, so I understand the love, attention, and responsibility that pets need every day. Caring for my own dogs has given me hands-on experience with small breeds and their unique personalities and routines. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including overnight stays, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s usual routine and their owner’s instructions closely, making time for walks, play, cuddles, or quiet company whatever suits their personality best! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, patience, and attention. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are well cared for. During the week, I work full-time as a nanny, and I’m fully available for pet sitting on Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’m happy to provide dedicated, focused care during those days. I may also be available for select weekday bookings with advance notice, feel free to message me to discuss! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk routines, and any specific care instructions closely. — I’m a rule follower. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me. I keep the home tidy and ensure pets are always in a secure environment. As a dog sister to two Pomeranians, I understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Lizzy knocked it out of the park caring for our two energetic pups! Not only was she great on walks with them, but she also stepped up to do some drop in visits when our roommates left town. 10/10 would recommend Lizzy!”

About: Hi pet families, my name is Lola, and I am a lifelong pet lover! I have experience taking care of older dogs that have medical needs, as well as taking care of and training puppies! I have worked previously with traveling with puppies that were going to become service dogs, and I love being around animals.

I love playing with pets and reinforcing their training. I also feel confident crating dogs and assessing their needs!

“Alicia is the best! My boy loved her and she was very in tune with his needs. Her experience was valuable for me to learn from. He was so happy after his walk to have a special friend :)”
