Dog Walkers in Balm Grove, OR

About: While I’ve had family pets my whole life (dogs, cats, tortoises, frogs, and classic betta fish), I waited until after undergrad to try my hand at raising puppies. I have two energetic Siberian huskies who LOVE their play time, their walks and trips to the dog park. They make fast friends! Zuko, the youngest husky, has cataracts in his eyes, so I have a lot of personal experience with medication and eye drop administration. I currently only work part time at our local restaurant, and I’m off Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Wednesdays I work 4:30pm-9pm, and Sundays I work 9am-1pm, but I have the unique ability to take as many breaks on Sunday as I please, offering more time for potty breaks and walks! Mondays I work 9am-1pm and 4pm-9pm, so I usually do come home on my break to walk and feed my boys, and if that schedule works for your pup, I’d be happy to care for them then as well! My backyard is fully fenced (6ft wood fence), and two young, energetic Siberian huskies to keep your baby company! Both of my boys are neutered, friendly, and don’t mind a little rougher play. My dogs are not crated while I’m away, but I do have a crate and a separate room for your pup for the hours I am gone. Dogs are always allowed on the furniture in my house.

“I highly recommend Eliza for dog walking services! They are incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and with a smile. My dogs absolutely love them and get so excited when they see Eliza. They have a wonderful way with animals, ensuring that my dogs get plenty of exercise and attention. I feel completely at ease knowing my dogs are in their care. Thank you, Eliza, for your outstanding service! Eliza also goes above and beyond by providing updates and photos during their walks, which I really appreciate. Their dedication and genuine love for animals truly shine through in their work. I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my dogs. Highly recommend!"”

About: 🐶 About Me Hi there! I’m Jessica—a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet parent. After 16½ wonderful years with my own pup, I’m not quite ready for a new dog of my own… but I deeply miss the joy, snuggles, and companionship. That’s why I’m here—to give your dog a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have round-the-clock attention and care. Whether they love to play, nap in a sunny spot, or follow someone from room to room, I’ll be there for them every step (and paw print) of the day. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I had the joy of caring for my own dog for over 16½ years—from energetic puppyhood through her golden senior years. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to adapt care based on age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s giving meds, managing special diets, or making sure senior pups get up and down stairs safely, I’ve been there. What sets me apart is my ability to create a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I work from home full-time, so your dog won’t be left alone—and they’ll get personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m especially tuned in to dogs who need a little extra TLC—whether they’re shy, older, or adjusting to time away from home. I’m happy to stick to specific routines, administer medications, and support training habits you already have in place. This isn’t just a side gig for me—it’s a heartfelt way to stay connected to the dog energy I love so much, and to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Why I’m a Great Sitter 16+ years of hands-on dog ownership Full-time work-from-home setup = 24/7 companionship Calm, nurturing energy and personalized care Flexible schedule and great communication Comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and personalities 🏡 My Home & Yard Your pup will love my fully fenced backyard—it’s a secure space perfect for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and lounging in the fresh air. It’s also chock full of toys and “buried treasure” from my own beloved pup—a backyard with history, love, and tail-wagging energy. Inside, they’ll find a calm, cozy space with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at home. Whether they’re crate-trained, couch cuddlers, or both—I’ll follow their routine to the letter. 📸 What to Expect I provide consistent updates, adorable photos, and check-ins so you’re never left wondering how your fur baby is doing. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone—and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pup will be treated like family, because in my house… they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m here all day to keep your pup company! My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, walks, and feedings according to your dog’s usual routine. Mornings start with outside time in my fully fenced yard, followed by a mix of work (for me) and supervised lounging, cuddles, and playtime (for your pup). Midday walks and backyard breaks are part of our rhythm, and evenings are all about winding down together with lots of love and attention. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your dog will have round-the-clock care and companionship. I never overbook, so your pet gets the dedicated attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment with lots of soft places to rest, space to play, and loving company throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time—perfect for sniffing, exploring, and soaking up the sun. I always supervise outdoor play, and dogs are never left unattended in the yard. Inside, I create a low-stress atmosphere with minimal noise and no other pets or small children, so your dog can settle in and relax. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, crate routines, or medication needs. I’m happy to provide frequent updates with photos and notes, so you always know how your pup is doing. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s building trust and creating a safe, loving space that feels like home while you’re away.

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! She cares for our dog as her own. After each walk, she gives a detailed report complete with pictures of her visit. Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I were taking a long overdue vacation and needed to find some extra care for our two dogs while we were gone. I found McKenzie and Andre and our worries were left behind. Andre was very accommodating to our needs, and our dogs seem to be happy and well kept. I definitely recommend their services and would use them again in the future. 🎾🐕 Four BIG Paws Up! 🐾🐾”

About: I have extensive experience taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens, but am open and excited to take care of all pets. I am new to Rover, but have completed over 40 sits through TrustedHousesitters watching many dogs, cats, and kittens, ranging from weekend sits to entire months and have been pet sitting full time for 1 and a half years. I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and have experience administering medication (including insulin, pills, liquid). I also have experience with a variety of farm animals as I watched an entire farm by myself including goats, sheep, turkeys, rabbits, cats and dogs. In addition to my recent experience through TrustedHousesitters, I have had many house/pet sitting gigs throughout the years. I periodically watched my housemates cat in college. I grew up dog sitting my family friend's dog and cat sitting for a couple of different families. I also nannied for 4 years, and have experience looking after houses, cleaning, and keeping my clients homes in great condition. I am originally from California, but my home base is Portland, OR. My favorite activities include running, hiking, and anything outdoorsy. I am a marathon runner and I have completed 6 marathons so far and have run numerous half marathons. I also really like exploring, traveling and trying new food and coffee places. I love to house/pet sit because it gives me the opportunity to be around cute pets and make some extra income as I recently moved back to Portland after taking a gap year. I have 3.5 years of experience working remotely in the medical communications field and I am a UC Davis alumni. While caring for your pet and home, I will be available on my cell and will text picture updates, so you can feel at ease while you are away and will be sure to give your pet plenty of cuddles and love.

“Akaila was great! She was on time and the photos along the walk were great!”

About: As an animal lover, I'd consider myself very experienced with animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Before losing him in the fall of 2023, I raised and cared for my dog, Chaps, for 12 years. It was a great 12 years, and I loved spending time training him. "Sit" and "down" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the tricks Chaps could do. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am also comfortable taking care of most any special needs your pet may have. Tell me what you and your pet like, and I will do my best to provide an experience just the way you, and they, like it! Your pet will be safe and comfortable with me! I'm pretty flexible in how I organize my time. Walks, feedings, etc. can all be arranged with me to satisfy your expectations. Having had our own pets, we feel confident that satisfying your pet’s needs while they’re in my care should be seamless. Our backyard is dog-safe with a 6-foot privacy fence and access to a maintained yard with grass. Following your instructions and having the ability to communicate will provide a sense of security for you and helps me to give the best experience for your pet if I have questions about your pet’s care while you’re away. I’m a big fan of communicating!

About: I have over twenty years experience caring for not only dogs: but also speciality animals such as horses and reptiles. I have a vet assisting degree, and security experience. I am familiar with licensing and bonding, animal behavior and various medications - including but not limited to insulin injections, and I am licensed with the state of IL to practice security. Not only am I reliable, but I am an experieneced and safe option while you’re away. I live on a five acre farm with horses, cats, dogs, and other various animals. I believe animals are family. I have a section of the house for cats, and one for dogs. The cats have access to the dog room, but can easily be cut off from entrance. My home, and habits, are very safe and organized. I work and network with my husband and family. There is always someone available! All animals are considered family to us! Please take special note that when booking for you animal companions to stay at our home, we are not a boarding center, we are a personal home setting. In order to ensure the best success with this arrangement, a visit to your home where your dog is comfortable and not stressed is required before visiting our place of residence. This gives us important insight on your animals natural behaviors to ensure the best action/sitting experience not only for us - but especially for your animals. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.

“Thanks for your work this week!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every pet. I’m comfortable with all breeds and energy levels! From playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m experienced in giving medications, whether it’s pills, injections, or topical treatments. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just snuggling on the couch, I’ll make sure their routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pets and your home with respect and care! I have flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day around your pets needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid day check ins, or evening routines. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and I make it a priority in my daily routine I provide care only in my clients homes to give pets comfort in their own space. I do not bring my personal dogs with me, and I keep my focus fully on the pets I’m caring for. I respect your home and follow any routines or instructions you provide.

About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.

“Kayla is upbeat and understands dogs very well. When Zazzie goes for a walk with her I’m confident they’re having a good time. She’s responsive and helpful.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Mahala’s dog-walking service! My dog Zoey was immediately comfortable with her, which is always a great sign. Mahala’s calm and confident demeanor put both of us at ease. I appreciated the updates she provided after her walk, letting me know how things went. She even posted a photo! Mahala’s passion for animals is clear, and I trust her completely with my dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog walker! 🦮”

“Easily one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Since we couldn't board our dog at a hotel we decided to use this app for the first time. We were nervous at first but gave it a shot. We found Graysen, checked out his profile and he seemed legit. We scheduled a meet and greet with him and he was extremely punctual, communicative, and flexible. He arrived at our home, and we immediately knew our child was in good hands. Our dog has to be taken out 4 times a day and Graysen was here 4 times a day and punctual every time. He provided us with informative updates every time he took Gizmo for a walk and every photo he sent let us know our child was in good hands. I would RECOMMEND EVERYBODY book with Graysen. The next time I take a vacation Graysen will be my first choice.”
