Dog Walking Buckheaven

“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”

“Alexis has been so good with Wilson, my greyhound. She honored all of my requests for him as greyhounds can be quite a different sort of breed than others. Her sense of care for animals is exactly what I was looking for and I would recommend Alexis to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pooch☺️👍🏻🐾.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I love them oh so dearly! I’ve stayed in homes of family friend dog owners for a few years now, mostly just taking care of the dogs and going on walks, as well as watering plants when needed. I’m not much of a cat person, I didn’t grow up with cats but I can do what is needed of me. I work part time, around 25 hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and make sure they are well taken care of. I will care for your baby in your own home where they have all their favorite toys and comfort spots. I will take them for walks and give them all the snuggles they need!

“Very communicative and wonderful with my dog!!”

About: I've had animals all my life but now I am an empty nester and would love to help take care of yours. I have raised Rottweilers, trained and shown horses, had chickens and cared for cats. I also used to be a veterinary receptionist/assistant and so have a lot of on-the-job medical training. Attention to detail is key. I am semi-retired so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with yours. I do go to the gym every morning and walk once a day so I am able to stand up to the physical demands of any size animal. I currently do not have any animals at home. I live in a one story house and have a small fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood.

About: I have been an animal lover since a young age, and have been caring for dogs since 2011. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and all ages in between. I have experience in training my own dogs and in practicing commands as asked when puppy-sitting. I've even trained my cat to give high-fives! I also have experience in administering medication, both oral meds as well as eyedrops. Our 14 year old labradoodle gets eyedrops twice daily, which I administer. I bond easily with animals and love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I love getting to know animals, and have a knack for bonding with anxious, shy animals. I am also okay with brushing and bathing, etc., as asked if needed. I am typically available all day on the weekends and most Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am in grad school for the next two years in Forest Grove and classes occur around 9am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I may have time for quick home visits for potty breaks during lunch on these days, if needed. I am happy to spend quiet time with pets who are more mellow, or to spend time playing or walking with energetic, younger dogs if that suits them best. I typically observe the dog's behavior and notes from the owner when deciding what to do- are they looking tired and calm? Are they a bit riled up and could use a playtime or a walk? I will follow any instructions left by the owners, as well. If there is anything specific or special you'd like me to do for your pets, just let me know!

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! Currently, I am pet & house sitting full-time as I study for taking the LSAT this winter, so as long as you have wifi, I am able to work on my laptop and take care of any animals. In short, I am an animal lover through and through, who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my family dogs. From raising multiple puppies to taking care of sick dogs. I am a reliable person and will make sure all your needs are met. I’m a huge animal lover so any pet you have I will love! I’ve raised a kitten in the last year, making sure that he is well loved and cared for. I do school work online so i’m constantly home and have a very flexible schedule to do any pet care! I would love to get more exercise as well so this would be so fun for me! I don’t currently work so I don’t have a job to keep me busy. My cats are kept inside for safety with lots of toys and furniture to keep them busy. I enjoy playing with animals and I’m aware of animals body language so if I need to go slow with an animal I know when to do so

About: Lucky enough to grow up on a farm, my family constantly was fostering pups from birth, senior dogs and raising our own! Responsibility was an extremely important value to learn growing up, since I was young Iv personally learned bottle feeding, administering oral medication and training for not only dogs but farm animals too! Between my two parents households and my own adulthood I have experienced raising pits, Staffordshire bull terriers, a German shepherd, a Great Pyrenees a Weimaraner and a springer spaniel plus temporarily fostering more breeds! Although iv had responsibility for many animals at once my love and gentle care was NEVER a second priority, I love my animals like children and I know how important they are to you too! Mon-wed I clean houses for 4-8 hours a day. There is always time in between houses perfect for a quick walk or check in. Fri -sun I’m a waitress and both jobs I’m always off and in newberg before 5 pm, perfect for over nights or evening play dates. As an early bird I’m always available before 8 am Mon-wed. Occasionally I have a weekday or a Saturday off where I can dedicate my whole day. With many years of home training experience I can ensure that strategic walking is in place to keep your dog close and manageable in public, I’m familiar with commands and trigger words and I don’t mind tricking your pup with a sweet treat if needed and requested ;) familiar with crating, pull collars and administering oral medication!

About: I have experience with different breeds and ages. I have trained a puppy starting at 2 months old and comforted older dogs for their last days. More recently, I taken care of Rottweilers, Corgis, Bulldogs, Springer Spaniels, Jack Russel terriers, Golden retrievers etc. I have given medications to dogs as needed and ensure that I follow every instruction to keep them supported and happy. I have a love for every dog and look forward to seeing the quirks and personality of your dog! I am returning to school full time fully online at the moment, so my availability is very open as I could remain with your pet at all hours. I enjoy walks, especially if there is a pup as motivation. Your dog and I could reciprocate a friendship that relieves stress and brings happiness. I live on a larger piece of land with grass, gardens and wooden areas in the Chehalem Mountains where they can explore away from other animals on-leash, or we can load up my car to head for a park or trail.

About: I was a foster parent for Austin Pets Alive out of Texas for 13 years and through Laramie Peak/Oregon Humane Society for the past two years. I have experience with felines and canines of varying medical needs ranging from pills and suspensions to management of diabetes. I have a strong history and enjoy working with/training dogs from the most confident personalities through the intense pullers, overstim doggos, and reactive canines. I believe in respecting you and your animals’ boundaries and utilizing positive reinforcement only. I have open availability weekday afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I love those early morning walks/visits as well as afternoons and evenings. If your baby is most comfortable being walked when other four legged friends aren’t around, I would love to help accommodate as I don’t hesitate coming at the wee hours or staying off the beaten path. Have a higher energy dog that likes to run and/or hike? I’m a runner and volunteer for the dog run team at Oregon Humane Society. When caring for your animal, everyone’s safety is of utmost importance! Share with me all the nuance of your baby’s personality and I’ll help them have the best and safest time! I am very mindful of my environment and respectful of other people’s and animals spaces.
