Dog Walking Center

About: I love spending time with pets and walking outside. I've taken care of dogs since childhood, and now I live between Laurelhurst and Mt Tabor, so there's no shortage of trails in the area. Let's go!! I'm currently taking a year-long sabbatical from a stressful job and training to hike the PCT, so I am available for your pet at almost all hours of the day! I typically hike a few times a week and may be gone for 4-8hrs, but this is flexible as your pets' schedule demands. My husband also works from home and can provide some extra attention and play. I'm a big fan of drop in and walks! I think staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet. I am happy to offer a 15% discount if you book multiple drop ins per day (please inquire!). Currently, I am only boarding cats, as I have two cats of my own and occasionally foster. All guest kitties are kept separate.

“My dog Opie loves Kira! She’s is super kind and very responsive. There was a day that my dog wasn’t feeling very good and had an accident which Kira handled! I’m very thankful to have her help!”

“I forgot to mention in my last review that Natasha takes the best pictures. She also gives my dog a daily grade which let's me know how her training is progressing and makes the daily report feel like a report card from school, which I adore. Natasha is amazing, patient, reliable, communicative, honest, caring, truly a dream and a blessing of a dog walker. Her daily reports are detailed, cumulative, and progressive. I really couldn't ask for more.”

“Acacia always does a great job of picking up my dog and taking her on walks. I always come home to a very happy pup. Acacia is very dependable and clearly loves dogs. I will certainly have her come walk my dog again in the future.”

“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”

“We are so fortunate to have found Aaron. He’s everything you’d want in someone you’ve entrusted to care for/walk your dog (s). He’s punctual. A great communicator. WONDERFUL with our boy. We’re super appreciative to Rover for linking us with Aaron!”

“Kayla has been great with my pups, they seem to really enjoy their walks with her. She is responsive, timely, and follows instructions wonderfully. I look forward to booking with her for regular walks during my work week!”

“Carlie has been really awesome with dog walking for my pup, Gus, during the work day. Gus is reactive towards other 4-legged creatures, and Carlie has been doing a great job with giving him quality walks while managing their encounters with others. Carlie has also been consistent time-wise and reliable so far.”

“Ursula was great! She was super quick to respond, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked great questions, and sent a lot of cute photos + a detailed report card from her walk with Cujo. Would absolutely recommend her and book with her again - thank you, Ursula!”

“Jen is such a big help for me! She walks my mini dachshund once a week and does amazing with him! Very communicative. My cats also love seeing her when she picks up my dog!”

About: My most recent animal care experience is from my current Veterinary Hospital Assistant job. This year, I also worked as a Temporary Kennel Technician and volunteered at One Tail At A Time in Portland. I’ve gained experience safely handling animals with different personalities, monitoring behavior, administering medications, and helping maintain a clean and safe environment for both animals and people. I also completed Dog and Cat First Aid Training through American Red Cross. I currently have a full-time job as a Veterinary Hospital Assistant. My work schedule is not consistent right now, but will be eventually. For now I will be updating my calendar frequently to show my days off that I am available for hire on Rover. I will send consistent updates, photos, and stick closely to your pet's routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm currently accepting new clients for walks and drop-ins, so feel free to message me!

“Sam was so great at communicating with me throughout her time with my pup. Mocha can be very nervous around new people and Sam worked really hard to help her feel safe and build trust!”

“He ran my dog ?”

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Kaelin is great! She’s really good at communicating with us and so wonderful at taking care of our little nuggets. We feel so comfortable leaving them in her care!! We will definitely continue to book with her!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover offering experienced, gentle care for cats and dogs. This includes anxious pets and those needing special attention or routines. I have a full time job, but I’m available weekends or after work. I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8:30am to 5pm. I can work before or after work, and I have Saturday and Sunday fully available. I have a fenced in yard, and I have two small dogs. I’m able to separate my pets based off the layout of my home if necessary. I’m open to visiting homes to giving pets attention, give meds, and take pets on walks. Also open to watering plans and taking trash out. Would be willing to do light cleaning around the home as well.
