Dog Walkers in Colestin, OR

About: I grew up in a house filled to the brim with dogs, from one parent who was a professional dog-trainer and another who couldn't stop taking in struggling foster dogs from the local rescue. I took the responsibility of helping to walk, train, feed and otherwise take care of these dogs. Additionally, I am a volunteer dog-walker at a shelter in Tacoma. I've worked will all types of dogs and issues, including reactvity, terrotorial, seperation anxiety, and more! Though I can't have a dog of my own right now, dogs are my passion and I am so excited to have this opportunity to meet and take care of your dog! I'm working part-time right now, so I'm totally available weekends and Mondays. On all other weekdays, I work from 7pm-11pm and am open outside of those times. When pet-sitting, I can stay full-time there or check in for potty breaks, playtime, meals, walks, and people time as fit for each individual situation. Walks can match whatever activity level and speed fit your dog and will always have my full focus! I'm more than happy to customize what that schedule looks like, and my priority is keeping the dog happy, healthy, and safe.

“Kara was amazing, she left very detailed notes and lots of pictures of Athena and helped me feel comfortable going away for 5 days and knowing my dog was going to be taken care of. Even with a big heatwave hitting the West Coast Kara came by and made sure to take Athena out and being careful of the heat and asphalt. I will absolutely be booking Kara again.”

“Jessica came when scheduled and walked my two dogs. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up where one dog had peed on the floor before she arrived. Thanks, Jessica!”

About: Pets have a sixth sense, so I easily bond with them. I love photography, so I typically take a pet photo and send it along. My availability is typically quite flexible. I am semi retired, and Winter is my slow time, Repeat pet care is always a compliment and a privilege. When a pet’s owner is away, pets routines are disrupted. So some play is important, and so is sitting still and being there with them. Easy to do, and nurturing, I feel.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — and honestly, my favorite part. Whether it’s at a party or just out and about, you’ll usually find me hanging out with the cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of working with animals in many different settings over the years. I spent 7 years volunteering with a wildlife rescue organization, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I currently volunteer at Friends of the Animals Shelter, where I help care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, cuddly lap cats to independent and finicky felines — I’ve cared for them all. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their preferences, quirks, and routines to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My schedule is designed with your pet’s needs in mind! Outside of a few early morning hours at the bakery and a couple of flexible shifts volunteering at the shelter each week, my schedule is open to help keep you pet on their scheduled routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in to burn off some afternoon wiggles or providing a calm, loving presence for a senior companion, I’m happy to accommodate whatever care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, a play session to burn off some energy, or providing full in-house care, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home and totally pampered. If it's just a walk or playtime, you can count on me to keep things exciting and safe! I’ll tailor each outing to your pet’s vibe—whether they're a high-energy explorer who loves to run or a more relaxed companion who enjoys a leisurely stroll. Either way, we’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. For in-home care, I’m all about keeping things comfortable and familiar. I follow your pet’s routine to make them feel right at ease while you're away. Whether it’s feeding time, administering meds, or just giving them a cuddle session, I treat your home and your pet with the care they deserve. I’m all about making sure your pet gets the love and attention they need — whether that’s zoomies in the yard or just a cozy cuddle session on the couch. You can relax knowing they’ll have a blast, feel safe, and be spoiled rotten while you’re away!

“Julia was the absolute best! She took my Lala girl on a nice walk and when she came back, Lala passed out for the rest of the afternoon. I would recommend Julia to anyone - she is great with dogs :)”

About: My yellow lab Yofi was my shadow for 13 years. I am not ready to get another dog, but I love pet-sitting Walks around the block every morning and evening, long hikes off leash every afternoon. I am retired from my counseling practice. I spend a lot of time at home. I do volunteer work in the Community, but usually take dogs with me. I have a large home with a fenced- in back-yard. Dogs can sleep on my bed or on their own doggie bed next to mine.

About: I love all animals but pups have had a place in my heart since I got my girl Juni (she’s the pretty girl in the pic with me!) She taught me patience, commitment, and responsibility. I had to leave Juni in my Hometown Portland, OR to pursue college at the lovely Southern Oregon University. While I can’t see my pup for a bit I miss going out everyday with her. I’d take her for hikes, walks, even bike rides. She dealt with reactivity issues and outburst, but with the help of a trainer I learned how to understand and handle her outbursts. I am excellent with reactive dogs especially with staying present in chaotic moments. My first priority is always their safety. Anyways I believe a walk is sacred time for pups usually it’s there only time outside their property. I don’t rush my pups they can sniff and pee on as many spots as they please! Lol. In all seriousness when you book with me you’re choosing a loving and patient walker and a calm and rewarding walk for your pup. I currently have a pretty light course load and have had quite a bit of time on my hands. I have courses only 3 times a week making my schedule extremely flexible! I have a vehicle and am new to Ashland I think this is a wonderful opportunity to get familiar with the town and get good exercise while hanging out with my favorite thing! Pups!! Almost always I can work with your schedule and my weekends are always open 24/7. Currently I only have a kitty who’s a handsome boy named Bear as well as a lovely betta fish who’s name Marlo and his two snail friends Gary and Gertrude! I have a passion for animals but in schooling I have limited my love for them. Back home I have two geckos and my pup waiting for me! I spoil my kitty he gets way too many toys and scratchers. He feasts twice daily on high quality wet food and gets loads of playtime. Keeping him healthy and happy is my number one priority and he is my registered ESA so he does the same for me.

“Andrea was really friendly. Really appreciated her accepting a last minute request to come walk the dog on a Sunday afternoon. She did evertyhing just as I had asked. Looking forward to using her services again.”

About: Ever since I can remember I have felt a kinship to both wild and domestic critters. Most of my experience lies with dogs. For over a year, I worked at a kennel free dog day care and overnight boarding facility. I did both day and overnight shifts. During the day, I was responsible for a pack of dogs (anywhere from 8 to 30.) This included diligent supervision to ensure everyone's safety, clean up, knowledge of breeds, behaviors, proper reactions to behaviors, basic training, and most importantly: lots of love. Overnight shifts involved feedings, medication, and sole responsibility of all boarding dogs until morning. I've also done in-home care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats. As well as, about half a year on a small dairy farm caring for cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, and goats. I am punctual, follow directions very well, and am open to and respectable of how people care for their companions. If you find I am a good fit for your furry friend, not only will they be in good hands so will your home; I am extremely clean and respectful of other people's homes. My fees are negotiable if they don't fit your budget. Please feel free to reach out, so we can discuss. Pet care is currently my only focus. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I am happy to be there for your pup(s) when they need me to be. For house-sitting stays, I will be with your pup(s) the majority of day and all night. I prefer to be thorough on learning how a client wants their companion cared for and I follow directions very well; I think it is extremely important to not break their routine. I will do my best to adjust my schedule to fit theirs. Companions also need lots of extra love to comfort them while their human is away and I am dedicated to making them feel as comfy as possible.

“Natalie took such wonderful care of our dogs! She adjusted the walks to meet the needs of a hyper puppy and 2 older dogs. Very communicative, responsive and reliable. Will count on her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all animals including dogs, cats, reptiles for years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, love on and make sure their animals are very well taken care of while they’re away! I work afternoons into early night at a hotel and am able to walk, care for, sit and feed any animals needed. Early mornings and early afternoon walks or drop ins work perfectly, over night stays are also available after 10pm when I’m off of work! I have a fenced yard and spacious room to play with all animals! I have a 5 year old little mutt who loves to play and meet other dogs! I am open and willing to adjust to any clients needs and wants.

“Alexandria gives our pup amazing walks! We have a happy dog on our hands the rest of the day when she gets back. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From growing up on a farm with horses, chickens, dogs, cats, etc, I’ve been around them my whole life! I had a wonderful dog of 13 years with my partner. I also rescued 3 cats after hurricane Sally who are my world! I’ve rescued and helped foster out puppies and kittens over the year. I also love to help my friends and family with any animal/pet-sitting needs. I would love to help assist with any needs of your pets. I have a very flexible schedule as I work remotely. I can easily be available with enough notice and happily help with walks, pet-sitting, feeding or care of any kind. I have a fenced in yard with three sweet cats who are 5 years old and friendly as can be. The gates are secure and stay locked. I also don’t mind them joining me in my home and cuddling on the couch. I feed my animals a healthy diet and tend to their needs. I’ll be glad to follow any and all instructions when it comes to taking care of your fur babies.

About: I work from home and can provide a loving environment and frequent walks during the day. I have experience dog sitting many friends and neighbor dogs, as well as visiting dogs via Rover. Most dogs get along with my 5 yr old Shih Tzu, but a meet-and-greet is certainly encouraged. I guarantee that I will be home at least 50% of the time. Our neighborhood is ideal for walking small dogs, as we have winding sidewalks and garden pathways that 4-legged friends love to explore. I am only taking 1 dog at a time, therefore your pet will get plenty of attention! I am happy to host well behaved dogs and will strive to make sure they are happy and safe. If your young dog is still house training, I can accommodate crate training and walks at a frequency you desire, e.g. every 60-90 minutes. I have my own business and work from home. Therefore I can carve out plenty of time to play with your fur baby! We will have lots of fun. While my home is 2 levels, I offer doggie day care on only the main level of my home. Therefore steps are not an issue. While my front lawn is not enclosed, I do have an enclosed back deck where our 2 puppies can lounge. I am home most of the day, and the temperature in my home will be well monitored for puppies and me alike.

About: I have worked on a cutting horse ranch from the time i was 9-18 years old- horses, dogs, cats, cattle, buffalo, chickens and more- and love every second of it. I have always had great danes, so am very comfortable with larger breeds. I currently have a doberman/ shepherd mix Freyja, and a great dane mix cheif- and their spicy older feline brother, Ruckus- our lovingly spoiled furry kids. I would love to meet your furry kids, as I know they are equally the best dog/ cat ever 😉 I am currently working almost full time, however I have a lot of energy and am available almost every day before 3pm. Keep me busy! Our pups are spoiled- they get homecooked meals every night, Freyja has her daily beauty and excersize routine, and Cheif is content watching TV with his dad most of the day under his favorite blanket.

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawaked." - Anatole France I have grown up with dogs for almost my entire life. I have also have pet sat before and can provide references. I have a 5 year old male pug named Tyson. He is an only child and is very friendly and loves having buddies to play with (with that being said in order for me to watch your dog they must be okay with other dogs.) I would prefer to meet your dog ahead of time before any overnight visits if possible. As a dog owner I know what an important role they play in our lives. They are family. I know how vital it is to have someone responsible that you can trust to make sure they are kept safe and happy while you are away. And if I watch your dog I will make sure that happens and treat them just as I treat my own. My schedule can be pretty flexible, especially with enough notice. The more notice the better of course. I prefer to take dogs that can be left at least for a couple hours if I have them for multiple nights. I live in an apartment and have a little pug that gets along with everyone. He comes with me on house sits. When dogs stay at my place I take them out on leash to potty and walk them.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs since I was a baby. As a kid I helped my dad train our black labs (Apache & Meg) to hunt. Into my teens I trained my two German-short haired pointers (Gretchen & Pluto) and my yellow lab (Daisy) to be good family dogs. Pet-sitting was one of the first “jobs” I had starting at the age of about 10. I have previously & am willing to also pet-sit cats. I am a student at SOU. My availability is as follows: Monday: 8am - 12pm & 5pm on. Tuesday: 10am - 3pm. Thursday: 1pm on. Friday - Sunday: All day. I live with roommates that have a dog & two cats, so I will not be able to accommodate my clients’ dogs or cats in my own home at this time. However, in my clients home, I will give your dog &/or cat lots of love. I plan to enforce the same type of training & commands that their owners use.

About: I am energetic and free spirited, I enjoy traveling and making new friends, human and pet, along the way. I’ve always had animals through out life, until covid. I offer car rides, natural trail trips, short walks, long walks, fetch, cuddles, therapeutic massage, not to forget lots and lots of love as well as extended stay and house sitting. I frequently travel between New Smyrna Beach and Clermont. I am open to caring for any and all pet with a wide range of needs. I have an open mind and forever expanding perspective of life and put a great amount of passion for the things I put my energy into! I currently work from the computer and Uber on the weekends. All my work is portable and my availability is flexible. Available Early morning and Late Night I am not offering in home sitting at this time. This could potentially change in the future or depending on if something is feeling aligned.
