Dog Walking Barton

“Brittney is the best! She’s super reliable and prompt. She’s very observant of the dog’s behavior and likes and dislikes. She has excellent communication and so she’s really easy to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our family and our dog.”

“Tiana has always taken excellent care of our animals, from walking and drop ins to week long housesitting. Our dogs and cat love and trust her implicitly, and are always so happy to have her stop by. You will not be disappointed with Tiana!”

“Julie is absolutely fantastic. She is extremely professional, prompt to arrive for appointments, and very communicative. She goes above and beyond for every walk/visit. She always shares photos and details of our dog's walks, and lets us know how he did. The peace of mind is priceless. I would recommend Julie to anyone and absolutely plan to book with her in the future!”

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: We love our pets and are looking forward to loving your pets as well! I thoroughly enjoy dog, cat and house-sitting. I've been pet/house sitting for friends for 20+ years. We have an energetic, pet-loving, 9-year-old daughter who is so gentle and sweet with dogs and cats and loves helping take care of and play with them. We have a sweet 1-year-old Chiweenie named Bella who we got from the Oregon Humane Society in December. We also have a sweet 1-year-old male Tabby cat named Buddy who is best buds with our dog :) Your adored pets will be well taken care of and loved in our home or yours. Feel free to reach out to me and see if we'd be a great fit for one another.

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

“Ronda offers great service and communicates very well. I highly recommend!”

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: Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets. I have a knack for listening to what a dog needs--whether that's a play, someone to just sit with, or whether they're just hungry. While I've watched peoples' standard dogs, I most remember sitting an elderly pug. She was still playful at her age, but still needed special care to ensure she was healthy and happy. If you're looking for a Portlander who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty to make your dog happy while you're away, I'm here for you. I can't wait to meet your furry family member. I think we'll have lots of fun together! I work-part time substituting and working for a non-profit retail store, but I often find I'm overwhelmed with people. Even though animals are demanding, they aren't as much an energy drain. My retail job is on the weekend, and subbing is during the week. I tend to accept subbing jobs the night before or the morning of the assignment, so I'd like 1-2 days advance for when you'd like me to take care of your dog or cat. I first like to know emergency contact info. This usually means the clients, but this can also be a vet. I then like to know the pet's dietary or personal needs as well as their schedule, what sets them off or gets them calm, and their basic personality traits. This helps me ensure I'm able to provide them with the best care. Typically homeowners will have a safe space already for their pet, but I continue that trend by ensuring nothing hazardous is left out. Above all, I try to establish a level of trust with the pet. Once I do, it makes ensuring the safety of the pet easier.

“Oh wow!!! This is awesome. Sometimes my other walker cannot come. Wednesdays is her day off. I am hoping you can do us from now on , Wednesdays and emergencies. I am so happy with your help. ?”

About: I grew up taking care of my huskey/german shepherd mix dog and red eared slider turtle. I now have an orange cat of my own! When my coworkers/family go out of town I’m trusted to pet sit for them. I’m currently completely available. I’m happy to take on a last minute call or a long term job if my schedule changes I will update you. I have a fenced yard and lots of toys for them to play with. I enjoy taking my dog for a walk as long as the pavement is not too hot.

“Anelys is so wonderful with my 2 dogs! They are always so happy and excited to see her. She communicates very well and sends great pictures. She gives daily updates and lets me know if I should have any concerns. She’s SO caring and reliable. A true angel to my dogs.”

About: Book me and breathe a sigh of relief! You can relax a little knowing that your cat isn’t just receiving food, water, and playtime, but heaps of genuine love, affection, and understanding! Hi there! My name is India, and I'm a lifelong animal-lover from sunny Southern California. I have always adored both cats and dogs, and I'm deeply committed to understanding their behavior/needs both in general and as individuals. Though I wasn’t able to have my own cat until early adulthood, I have always been fascinated by them. After taking an animal behavior course in high school, my awareness of the communication potential between humans and all animals increased dramatically, and my ability to communicate with cats and dogs especially benefitted. Since then, I have developed not just a passion but a real knack for genuine, effective, and compassionate communication with our furry friends. What’s my secret? To me, each and every cat or dog is an individual first and foremost, and deserves to be treated as such. I take great joy in meeting all of them and revel in the experience of getting to know their unique personalities, quirks, and preferences. Above all, I respect them and meet them wherever they are. There's just nothing quite like the love and appreciation you receive from an animal who has just realized they can truly trust you with their needs! As for experience, I spent much of 2019 working at a large pet store, where I received thorough training in basic dog behavior and the prevention/de-escalation of aggressive encounters involving both humans and multiple canines. Over the last 10 years, I have provided as-needed pet and house sitting services primarily to friends with 1-2 cats or small-medium dogs. I also have experience with elderly cats as well as those with other special needs, so I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, inhaled, or topical). Prior to that, I raised my first cat from a kitten through early adulthood (3 years total). Until recently, I was also caring for my own cat, Scully, whom I adopted as a terrified, traumatized kitten 7 years ago and have since transformed into a curious, mischievous little lovebug! It took some time and oh so much patience, but rehabilitating and socializing her has easily been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Unfortunately, she now lives out-of-state with her other parent, but on the flipside this leaves me with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate your pets and your schedule! I currently cannot care for animals in my home, but I genuinely prefer offering in the pet's home environment, where they are most comfortable, anyway. I also own my own, very reliable vehicle, so I do not mind traveling up to 30 minutes from my location in Outer SE Portland. I also currently have the flexibility to accommodate almost any schedule, including multiple overnights, so please don't hesitate to reach out for a quote! NOTE: Although I absolutely adore big dogs, I am unable to offer dog-walking services to pooches weighing over 40lbs. I currently have the flexibility to accommodate almost any schedule, both drop-ins and overnights. I require small windows of time in the morning and evening to care for my own cat, but otherwise my days are very open. I am currently unable to provide care in my own home. However, when providing care in a client’s home, I am always careful to ask about and document any risk factors that might already exist in the home. I generally default to the pet parent’s knowledge of and rules for their own animals, but I’m also careful to maintain my own knowledge of house plants and food items that can be toxic or deadly to pets.
