Dog Walking Boring

“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”

“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.”

“Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence. I really appreciate her professionalism, punctuality, and great communication too! You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!”

“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've taken care of dogs, cats and even birds/reptiles of both friends and family before. I use to work in the pet field and have a love of all animals. Ive owned animals of many kinds. I did also train for a short time as both a dog and cat groomer. I have owned and cared for special needs, senior and young animals too. I also have some experience with administering medicines to both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time as a security officer and don't have a set schedule so i have alot of free time to spend with your pups or kits. I can offer several hours a day of enrichment and am willing to travel to please your puppies or kitties. I love outdoor adventures or just sitting at home one the couch cuddling if that what you and your pets prefer. I will care for your dogs in your home as you would like. If your dog has a set schedule and routine, i have no issues with following this. Same for your feline friends. I have no issues following your instructions as written and will do my best to make it a fun and positive experience for both you and your pet.

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.

About: I’m a current foster home for the Troutdale shelter. I’ve taken legal cases and regular foster cases until they are adopted. I love all animals and just want to help those in need. I currently work from home so I’m able to care for your pet all day. I’m able to play, love on them and walk them. I don’t have a fenced yard but I’m able to walk your furry friend or crate them. However you want them to be taken care of.

About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded. I have experience caring for animals who need medication. As well as experience taking animals on emergency hospital visits. Every dog has unique needs. I approach each dog to match their needs. I work well with both high and low energy dogs. I am capable of providing exercise for athletic dogs. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.

“Very reliable. Also flexible when needing to change schedule. Gives you updates when your dog has been walked. I know Porter is well taken care of.”

Jeffrey J.

“Jadon did an incredible job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. He kept me well informed with updates on their walks, how they were interacting, and even dogs they met in my building. I always worry about my 10 year old pup while I am gone, but with Jadon’s pictures and feedback, this made for a memorable experience. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a friendly, great with dogs walker. I will happily be booking him again knowing how well he takes care of dogs and his thoroughness with communicating. Thanks again!”

Briana L.

“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: Hello! I love all animals of any form. I believe all animals deserve patience to get to know someone. I’m not afraid to be nipped a little to earn their trust. My style of pet sitting is matching the pet! I understand some animals prefer just lounging around and playing with toys inside, while others love running outside and going on long walks! I have fun doing both. In my lifetime, I’ve owned 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 hamsters. I’ve done pet sitting for the past three years to make extra income for school. Trying out the Rover app to see if I can schedule more work! I currently am at work / school from M-F 12pm-5pm but don’t let this deter you! My office is pet friendly and I can bring along your pet with me (I request that they are potty trained). I’ll be free to pet sit at home / at your place out of office hours! There’s a little bit of flexibility in here, please reach out. I currently have no uncaged pets roaming around the house. Other than that, our house is free for your furry friend to roam with a two dog parks nearby. For housesitting, I follow all rules listed! If there are no rules, I’d let you know what my plans will be for the day! I always update with photos and videos, every 2-4 hours. You can also call me anytime I’m with your pet and see how they’re doing live. :)

About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.

“Really happy with Alysia. She was fast to communicate. Did a meet and greet to meet my dog. Came on time. Got along with with my dog who is scared of most people. Like that she has a background for working with dogs has worked in vet office. Took pictures of their walk. Will use again in future”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 4 or 5, starting out with cats and growing into caring for dogs around age 11. Throughout the years I have helped family members care for their furry loved ones of all sizes. Although I'm a cat lover, I also love big, friendly doggos too! I also have personal experience with older pets as well, both kitties and dogs, and have had to do pet hospice care. I work part-time with a company where I'm frequently around animals and do my best to care for not only their spaces, but their furry family members as well! I'm mostly available early to late afternoons and evenings during the week, but sometimes my schedule permits me to see more flexible depending on your needs. I have a yard with plenty of room for your 4 legged baby to run freely or relax in the sun. My home also has lots of space where they are able to relax as well and to decompress and sleep.

“Thanks Rea! Great job taking care of our guy, Bourbon”

About: *My legal name is Lindsey but I also go by Maddox. :) I am a compassionate and dependable pet owner with over a decade of professional experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and comfort for both pets and their humans. Key Strengths - Comprehensive care: Walks, playtime, medication administration, litter maintenance, and vet and grooming appointment trip coordination. - Behavior awareness: Familiar with animal body language as well as stress reduction strategies. - Reliable and friendly communication: Timely updates with pictures and quick check-ins. - Adaptability: Experience with young animals, seniors, special diets, and pets with special needs. Pet and house sitting is a central part of my life and my full-time career. I have open availability for providing your pets with the best care and company they need. I respect both the animal’s routine and the owner’s space. I stick to their usual routines to keep everything familiar. I provide check-ins, updates, and photos during each visit, ensuring pet parents always know how their companions are doing. Cleanliness and safety are always top priorities—I make sure food and water are fresh, spaces are tidy, and pets receive the love they deserve. LGBTQ+ friendly.

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.
