Dog Walking Ardenwald

“Tommy has been a great addition to my dogs' routines. One is very active and the other isn't. Tommy is attentive and has my dogs excited to be with him. He is a joy to work with and is communicative and flexible. I cannot recommend him enough.”

“We had a great experience with Tanja. She was always on time, very reliable, and communicated clearly and promptly before and after each walk. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We really appreciated the consistency and care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

Margaret H.

“Christy is a great communicator and she always has the best rover cards after walks with my dog. Highly recommend!”

“Madeline has been absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, who couldn’t be more different in personality and needs. She’s incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly takes the time to understand each of them individually. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both cared for in a way that suited them best.”

About: I have cared for energetic puppies to old man dogs, kittens to old lady cats, rabbits, I have rescued lots of pets that needed special care, I've taken care of aquariums. Whatever care your pets need, chances are I've done something similar at least. I am a student with class on Wednesdays, and I I am available the rest of the week. I have a child, so I'm not available to spend nights away from home. I've had a lot of pets and I understand that every pet is different. I have a lot of time to really spend caring for your pet in the ways you request, whether it's lots of walks to the park, sitting at home getting pets and attention, administering medications. I'm very flexible and understanding to whatever your furry friends needs are.

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”

About: I’m uniquely experienced in managing multiple pets, having cared for two or more pets at all times. I understand group dynamics, individual needs, and how to keep every pup happy. I have no obligations during the weekdays after 10am. I am available on weekends as well. I will have a week long trip in August where I will be out of town. I have a decently sized fenced in yard with plenty of toys and room for playing. I also have a dog and two cats who are very friendly.

“Seth was incredibly patient with my anxious pup who gets stressed around new people. He clearly has a strong understanding of working with dogs and he developed a lot of trust with my dog in a short period of time. His daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. He even did some training with my pup as a way to build trust and confidence in her. We can’t wait to hire Seth again!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all different shapes and sizes, and have been surrounded by them consistently my whole life. I have a special place in my heart for pet care, and am an aspiring veterinarian. I have continuously found joy in spending time and connecting with all kinds of animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of availability for your pets! I’m a college student spending the summer in Portland and have a variable schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m available most weekdays and evenings, and I can often accommodate daytime visits as well. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! The safety and comfort of your pet are always my top priorities. Having cared for both dogs and cats, I am experienced in recognizing their body language and everyday cues. I pay close attention to signs that your pet may need exercise, playtime, a potty break, food, water, or rest, and I adjust my care accordingly. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and your dog’s behavior to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I love dogs and animals so incredibly much - my dog Nellie is my baby. I provide personalized one-on-one dog walking and enrichment visits tailored to your dog’s unique needs, pace, and personality. My background in canine handling has given me additional experience working with dogs who are high-energy, sensitive, anxious, reactive, or simply do better outside of group environments. Whether your dog needs exercise, decompression time, midday support while you work, or enrichment, every visit is designed around what helps your pup feel happiest and most comfortable. You’ll always receive photo updates, a detailed Rover card, and consistent one-on-one care. 🐾 I am currently available full-time and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, or enrichment visits throughout the week. My schedule is flexible; I can work with your preferred days and times to find the best fit. I prioritize one-on-one attention for each dog (siblings too), making sure every visit is calm, structured, and tailored to their needs. 🐩 I am happy to discuss recurring weekly visits or occasional bookings to best fit your dog’s routine. I have a small backyard and in my home I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment for your furry friend. I ensure they have their own designated space, whether it's a cozy corner or a separate room, where they can feel safe and relaxed. I maintain a clean and hazard-free living area, removing any potential dangers or toxic substances from their reach. Daily exercise and playtime are essential, and I tailor these activities to your pet's energy level and preferences. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I strive to maintain their routine as closely as possible. This includes following their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific instructions you provide. I'll also keep your home clean and tidy, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable during your absence. You can expect open communication, with updates and check-ins as often as you prefer.

About: Hello👋 I would love to walk your dog on Mondays and maybe the weekend! If you live very close, I might be open to cat sitting as well! Unfortunately, life circumstance limits other opportunities at the moment. I have worked in the veterinary field for the past 8 years and have pet sat countless pets when I lived in Corvallis previously. I graduated with a b.s in zoology at OSU so you can say that animals are my life. I have an 8y/o German Shepherd husky mix, Grayson, and have grown up with large to giant breed dogs, some of whom were reactive. Hence, I am comfortable walking any size dog. Grayson is dog friendly (occasionally selective) if you ever wanted your dog to walk with a friend but not needed. I work 4 10s but have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to walk your dog. I can possibly cat sit if you live very close. Mondays are the most ideal day to walk your dog. I will treat your pet like the special and cute babies they are. I am very receptive to following through on training you have been working on with your dog on walks.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 11 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, multi-dog households, and pets who may need a little extra patience and reassurance. My goal is always to provide safe, compassionate care so pet parents can have peace of mind while they're away. I currently have availability for walks and drop-in visits in the afternoons and evenings, with additional flexibility on certain days. I strive to provide dependable care and will always communicate promptly regarding scheduling and updates. Safety is my top priority. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and exercise needs. I take time to build trust with every animal and always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks. In my home, pets are supervised and introduced thoughtfully based on temperament and comfort level. I believe in treating every pet like a member of the family.

“Kiley is super nice. Exceeded expectations on our dog walks and had great questions at our meet and greet. Shows she really cares and wants to provide excellent care.”

“Our dog doesn't have a lot of experience with sitters, and Allison knew just how to patiently interact with her as she warmed up to her new friend. We're also going through a house move, so our pup and cats are going through lots of change. It feels good to know that Allison brings the experience we need as an animal lover.”

Amelia B.

“Alyson has been walking my little blind weenie for about a month now. My little girl loves her and is always so excited for her walk. Alyson is so sweet and gentle with her. Alyson communicates well and is prompt. I would highly recommend her!”
