Dog Walkers in Bellfountain, OR

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

About: I had a sweet little cat for 15 years starting in childhood and she was my hearts home. I have limited experience with caring for dogs on a day to day basis but have walked and played with friends and family’s dogs and would love the privilege of walking new furry friends. I work close to full time during the week but have ample time for walks and quality time with your furry loves on the weekends. I must come to you and your dog because someone in my household does not like dogs but I will follow your instructions to the letter and make sure your doggo has a great time with me.

About: I grew up with pets all around. I've taken care of everything from dogs and cats to goldfish. I've been exposed to my parents' pets and neighbors' pets. Growing up in the country and being used to roughing it, I am not afraid of cleaning pens, scrubbing tanks, and taking long walks in the woods. I am known for repeating back instructions from my supervisors to be sure I get them right. I often write down instructions to be very sure. I use these skills to be competent at administering prescribed medicine to pets. I can also take care of house plants and house sit. I have experience in gardening and house cleaning. After the holidays, I am generally available whenever, except on Tuesday or Thursday evenings. I am willing to pet sit overnight. I am currently looking for science education work. If that appears, my availability will change greatly. There are several rooms that can be used to separate pets that are not on good terms with each other. There are two litter boxes. There are often other adults around to help out if I can not do something by myself. There is plenty of ground on the property for pets to roam around. Being in the country, there is little chance of running into other pets that might cause harm.

“Seems like Charley had a great time on his walk! Jaelyn was punctual and responsive, giving my sweet pupperz a nice walk with lots of sniffs and pees -- his favorite.”

About: I have worked at a boarding facility for three years. I currently work at an animal emergency facility and have been here for 2 years. I love animals and caring for them is my calling. I am well trained in dealing with emergency, animal nutrition, can trim nails and do basic grooming of pets as well! I am very flexible and am able to juggling my responsibility as needed. I do work as a veterinary assistant but I have a set schedule that allows me to be work another job. I have a create if needed. I have cat and dog proofed my home. I have a quiet room for birds and rodents if need be that away from the fur babies. I leash walk dogs only. I am willing to leash walk cats but only by request. I live by the Jackson Frazier Wet lands so walking dogs there is always a nice walk for them and me.

About: For about a year, I spent everyday with a big loving dog named Ham. He needed a lot of medical care for his seizures. I gave him his meds, food, potty breaks and extra love. He became such a good friend to me. Animals are so special. Whatever you need for your pets, even if it seems silly I will do, no questions asked! I work from home every single day. I am self employed so I am not tied down with meetings or deadlines. I can take care of pets needs on a whim if I'm home. I have two senior dogs and a senior cat who are friendly with other animals and humans. They honeslty make for good therapy animals for those who aren't well socialized or experience anxiety. We live in a two story town home in a small neighborhood with a fenced in side and backyard to keep your animals safe and secure.

About: I have years of experience with dogs and love every one, no matter the size! Back home I have a cavalier & a small mixed breed, and in Oregon I have a blue heeler! I’m a college student with a lot of free time! My longest class days are 5 hours long, 2x a week. That’s a lot of free time to spend with your pups! I live in a pet friendly apartment and have wheels that can take me anywhere around town! I have a lot of free time and know tons of good trails.

About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience, I've cherished every moment spent giving furry friends the cuddles, walks, playtime, and attention they deserve. This dedication stems from my own family's cat, and 2 dogs enriching my understanding and love for animals of all kinds. I am currently enrolled full time at Oregon state university and work in Albany. My schedule is often all over the place but my Fridays and weekends are usually not busy at all. I will always prioritize your pets getting the best care I can make work with my schedule and will always communicate before booking what it looks like. Communication is very important to me and to build trust with you as I am taking care of your pet. I will make sure to follow you and your pups routines making them as comfortable as possible while you are away.

About: Animal care has been a part of my whole life. I've always had a pet, whether they were cats or dogs. No matter the size, age, or breed of the pet, I understand to respect their boundaries and be mindful of their safety. Spoiling and playing with pets is the easiest task on the planet. I'm a part-time college instructor. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can happily take a break from grading to pop in for a pet. I first and foremost will defer to the owner's instructions and requests. For pop in care, I will check basic needs first: food/water/litter box/potty breaks. Then comes socializing or any other request from the owner. Weather permitting, I like to take dogs out for fetch, chase, tug-a-war, or casual walks. What we do is sometimes determined by the breed of dog. For cats, I understand that play is up to them. I'm happy to engage in any way they prefer. My own cat is a fiend for a string.

About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and people in my community when they travel or need help. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can usually adjust my routine to fit the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during the week and weekends. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and time outside while their owners are away. I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and pay attention to their behavior and body language. My goal is to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and happy while their owner is away.

About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general.  I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!

About: Hello! I attend OSU as a graduate student and live locally in Corvallis. I’ve always grown up around animals and with dogs, and I’m missing having my own so much! I love spending time with dogs and have experience with many different breeds and ages, as well as positive reinforcement training techniques. Since I work full time mostly from home, so I’m able to spent a lot of quality time with your pets during the daytime and in the evenings after work. I like to stay active and go on walks often as well, and dogsitting is a perfect way to get more walks in! I’m not allowed to have pets at my house, but can stay at your house and help with other house sitting duties while I’m there (plant watering, etc.)

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!

About: I bond easily with cats and dogs. I am gentle, patient and give 100% to all the fur babies in my care. I enjoy entertaining and caring for these special critters. While with me, I am observant and provide the kind of interaction the pet wants. This could be anything from a massage to hiking and play at a beach with a variety of toys. I always want your pet to feel warm and welcome. I believe walking is the best medicine, so I’m game to go out no matter the weather. I don’t feed people food to them but am happy to give appropriate treats and lots of praise. I have been taking care dogs for 15 years. Dogs are considered my family bond

About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and breads since I was five years old. My neighbors and friends trust me to take impeccable care for their pets. I am currently in college and I work part-time three days a week. Although, I have quite a bit of free time and in that time I usually like to workout or try new things. Occasionally my family and I go to bend on the weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a property that Is not heavily populated by cars on the road. I also have three varying sized crates as well as two dogs. My dogs are let out every 1-2 hours. One of my dogs is crated when I am not home and my other dog does not have to be crated. In my clients home, I will care for their pets like my client would normally and I will ensure that their home is left clean.

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.
