Dog Walking Carus

About: I worked at a vet clinic for 3.5 years but due to life changes I now work at a pet store and petsit to continue to work with animals while I work towards my goal of working in vet med again. I’m reliable with my own transportation and am very knowledgeable in proper pet care. I am communicative, compassionate, and attentive to animals and their needs. I have been my own friends’ and family’s pet sitter for the past 5 years and I treat every animal as if they were my own while in my care. My whole life revolves around animals; I have 5 cats of my own and have fostered over 20 animals ranging from cats of all ages, dogs, and guinea pigs. I also work directly with animals at my job and am looking to continue that path. I have multiple rooms in my home to separate the animals in my care if needed, I have access to professional services if an emergency were to arise while also having knowledge of what to look for in with different medical conditions that can be present in animals. I have a good understanding of animal behavior and I understand their needs.

About: I'm a dependable and hard worker who's had dogs and cats my whole life, and have been pet/house sitting off and on since I was an early teenager. I love taking dogs for runs or walks with me and getting the chance to exercise them, or just playing with them in the house. I have plenty of experience with older dogs who need medication and various special care needs, dogs who have recently had operations, as well as with puppies making messes. I also have cared for kittens and older cats who need play time or lots of love. I'm happy to give daily updates on your pets; I think they are just as cute as you do! I've taken care of houses, plants, and pets for up to three month periods, communicating with the owners the whole time. I will love and care for your pets just like you do! I currently work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so I can fit your pets' care needs in however works best for them. I have lots of experience with very high energy working dogs, German Shepherds, who needed to be kenneled and fed in particular ways, as well as experience with caring for up to six pets at a time, making sure they're all fed and getting along at dinner or play times.

About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!

About: I want to hang out with dogs! I have a 3 year old golden retriever, a cat and a tortoise. You can definitely tell that we love taking care of pets! I am looking to change up my schedule, so it is likely that most of the time I will be available every week day in the morning until about 2 in the afternoon! In my home, we walk a lot! Our dog is high energy and doesn’t really get tired from exercise. We take her on long hikes often but she usually will want to play after! I hope to be able to provide some of that same excitement with your puppy, and replicate the amazing experience I’ve had on the app as a client!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family. My daily routine is entirely structured around my pets. We start the day at a sharp 8:00 AM for morning breakfast and plenty of outside time. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and interactive play throughout the day. Our evenings are calm and cozy, ending with soft paw nudges for bedtime. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule or just someone to be there for afternoon naps, I have the time and dedication to make them feel right at home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. To give you peace of mind, I am happy to send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun they are having. For walks, I utilize multiple leashes and harnesses to ensure every outing is secure and controlled. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a vigilant eye and follow all specific care instructions to keep your furry family member happy and safe.

About: I have been around animals (cats, dogs, horses, and even the spare parrot!) for the majority of my life and have loved every second of it. As such, I am deeply attuned to the behaviors of our furry friends and am patient with the care I provide. I am passionate about caring for animals and showing them the love they deserve while maintaining the expectations of those I am pet sitting for. I have pet sat for friends and family frequently and am always thanked for my attention to detail and genuine care for their animals. I'm one to always go above and beyond in my work and never back down from a challenge, so please reach out with the unique needs of your furry friend! I am a graduate student studying clinical mental health counseling, so I have a large amount of availability at this time. I hope to work consistently with pet parents, but am flexible to provide sporadic care and attention as well. As of right now, there are few times that are off the table, so reach out with your pet care needs! When I visit your space I will always respect boundaries and communicate fully about what is expected of me. I welcome feedback and frequent communication from pet parents, and hope that I can become a trusted person in you and your pet's life! At this time, I do not have the availability to provide care in my own home, as I have two fur babies of my own who get stressed easily. If a care relationship is established, I would be willing to have a conversation about this if there is an extended amount of time where care is required (vacations, or otherwise).

About: Veterinary assistant background, I am willing and able to do medication drop ins, feedings, and walks. I can do daytime sitting as well and my capacity for that may open up later. I have worked with disabled, and anxious dogs and cats and am fairly comfortable with most personality types. I have worked with professional trainers through my prior veterinary employment and am able to assist with basic training reinforcement. I am currently in a program so I have a lot of open availability, mostly daytime hours. I am available for dog walks, and drop ins, feedings/meds. I can do pet sitting for up to 6 hours at a time. I cannot do overnights becaus either have animals of my own, and I dont currently offer boarding due to my dog having a reactive nature. I have a lot of experience with animal handling and safety protocols. Leaving a pet in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I treat every pet as I would my own. I will adapt to whatever care instructions are required when caring for each pet.

“Emily has been a lifesaver in walking our very strong and energetic pointer puppy. Sammie is excited to see her arrive each time. Emily has good communication and is reliable. I can recommend her without hesitation.”

About: With over two decades of animal care experience, my journey began as a child caring for our family's English Springer Spaniels and cats, where I discovered my natural affinity for animals. This early passion made me the go-to caretaker for classroom pets throughout my school years. As an adult, I've owned several dogs, including a beloved Boxer who shared 10 wonderful years with me, and currently care for two rescue dogs - a Labrador Mix and a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Through my extensive volunteer work at a local dog shelter since 2021, I manage the daily care and cleaning for up to 25 dogs, many with complex medical needs or behavioral challenges. My professional pet sitting experience spans over three years with private clients, and I've developed expertise in handling medium to large breeds with high energy and prey drive. I'm equally comfortable caring for shy and timid smaller breeds, reactive dogs, and senior pets requiring medication. My feline experience includes managing a Maine Coon cattery of 10-20 cats, and I've cared for cats in all life stages, from newborn kittens to pregnant mothers. Beyond cats and dogs, my animal care expertise extends to reptiles, aquarium maintenance, and farm animals including chickens, goats, and horses. I've also managed large populations of show rabbits, sometimes exceeding 100 animals. I'm comfortable administering medications to all species and have extensive experience managing special needs pets. My clients receive focused, individual attention as I do not combine pet sitting assignments. I currently work full-time Monday - Friday (7 am-3 pm). I also volunteer on Sundays (7 am-11 am). I’m open to weekday availability as long as the pet owner is aware of my work and volunteer schedule. As your dedicated pet sitter, I believe in providing comprehensive care that goes beyond the basics. During my visits, your pets will receive personalized attention through engaging playtime, appropriate exercise, and mental enrichment activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I follow your detailed feeding instructions carefully and maintain clean food and water dishes throughout my stay. Understanding your pet's dietary needs is essential - I'll note their treat allowance and any food or environmental allergies to ensure their safety and well-being. Getting to know your pet's unique personality, quirks, and daily routines is a priority for me. I take time to understand their comfort levels, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where your pets feel secure and content in your absence. Housekeeping is equally important - I take pride in maintaining a clean environment and will ensure your home is in pristine condition upon your return. As part of my service, I'm happy to handle additional tasks such as watering indoor and outdoor plants, collecting mail, and managing trash bins. Your peace of mind is my top priority, both for your pets and your home.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best possible care. Growing up, I've had three dogs and one cat, and I've also cared for bunnies and chickens. This experience has taught me to understand and cater to the unique needs of different animals. I'm dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I truly value every opportunity to pet sit and make it a positive experience for both the pet and their owner. I go to school at Linfield University and play for the women’s basketball team. Outside of that, I would love to spend my time caring for your pets! When I'm caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all instructions carefully and maintain open communication with the pet owners. I'm committed to providing a loving and attentive atmosphere, making sure each animal feels comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi! My legal name is Devon, but I prefer to go by Perci. I’m a 29 year old professional dog trainer based in Clackamas County, Oregon. I always had dogs growing up, and in college I worked as a dog daycare attendant and part-time trainer for 3.5 years. Additionally, I worked as a freelance trainer with Karma Dog Training for three years, and I’m also enrolled in a course to earn my CPDT certification with CATCH Canine Trainer’s Academy! I actually have a puppy as of May 31, 2026! She is a Labrador mix named Ditto, and she is our world. Her days include plenty of play, training, and socialization. I’m still doing freelance training work on the side, as well as working with Rover, but have just moved to Oregon as of February 2026 and am still getting my bearings. I hope to get a full-time job working with dogs soon! In dog training, I use only positive reinforcement methods with no harsh correction or aversive methods. When training, I believe in teaching teamwork, rather than just teaching obedience. The same teamwork mindset can apply to my Rover clients!

“I have two big fur babies and she does great with them! Always pooped out, which is great because they’re huskies.❤️”
