Dog Walking Bellfountain

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: Avid dog lover since I was a kid! I’ve taken care of family dogs from puppies to senior dogs since I was 9, and adopted and trained my own dog while in college. I’m a TA at OSU, so my schedule is very flexible! My evenings and mornings are also very open, so I can make your schedule work with mine. I have a fenced in yard and am close to several parks for great outdoor spaces. I also run a ton, so can bring your dog along if they need a lot of exercise!

About: From puppies and kittens to beloved seniors, I am an OSU graduate passionate about providing the best care for your pets. I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 5 years, and providing animal care professionally for 6. I hold Fear Free and CPR certifications. I am skilled in administering oral and injectable medications, handling emergency situations, and I am also experienced in providing care for a variety of exotics. Currently my availability is pretty flexible for drop-in visits or dog walking! I also offer over-night stays for pets that need additional comfort or care. With photo updates, I bring exceptional animal care services directly to your home in order to best support the happiness and comfort of your pet.

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.

“Great communication, professional and sincere, and most importantly wonderful with our shy and timid dog! Will hire again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Jaedyn, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets. Growing up, my family fostered over 10 dogs over the years, which gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care needs from an early age. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals throughout my life. One of my biggest passions was raising, breeding, and showing rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of consistent care, attention to health, and understanding animal behavior. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible routine, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. I aim to provide pets with consistency and attention so they can stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or behavioral quirks, I believe clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Having cared for animals my entire life—from foster dogs to rabbits, cats, and small pets—I’m comfortable adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and care needs. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.

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 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 provide reliable, in-home pet care focused on consistency, safety, and following each pet’s established routine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments, including rescues, seniors, and high-maintenance pets. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and environmental safety, and I adjust my approach based on the individual animal rather than using a one-size-fits-all style. I’m comfortable administering medications, adhering to strict care instructions, and maintaining routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule intentionally to allow for dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home visits, with flexibility to accommodate regular check-ins, travel schedules, and repeat clients. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure trust and consistency.

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: • 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!
