Dog Walking Corbett-Terwilliger-Lair Hill

“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”

Bevin H.

“Violet is the sweetest! My pup is unusually anxious right now, as we're new to Portland. But Violet met Heidi where she was at-- letting her sit, sniff, or walk at her own pace, and was just so considerate. Heidi came back home a happy, tail-wagging girl! And so we've already booked Violet for future dates. 10/10 can easily recommend!!”

“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”

“Lyle showed up in the pouring rain! Very punctual, great communication, professional and reliable. My 2 year old cattle dog is tired after their walks and that’s not an easy task. THANK YOU!!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! I grew up with several dogs, including a Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Husky, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around larger, energetic breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I currently have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I’d treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer stays as needed. Having two pets of my own also means caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care, so I always treat both with respect. I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable and keep their routine as familiar as possible while you’re away.

“Kai is wonderful and picks up on all my fur babies traits without me even mentioning anything. Which shows me that they are being ever so present with her, and I adore that.”

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have cared for just about every kind of pet over the years — dogs, cats, birds, frogs, chickens, and more. I currently have a cat named Karen… and yes, she absolutely lives up to her name 😹 I’ve done dog walking and pet sitting for friends for years and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be reliable and attentive with walks, drop-ins, and visits. Whether your doggo needs exercise or your meower just wants some company and cuddles, I’m happy to help! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’m available most weekdays and weeknights, and can also accommodate some weekends depending on the request. At this time I’m unable to board pets in my home, but I do offer dog walking and drop-in visits in clients’ homes. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. For dogs, that may look like walks, playtime, fresh water/food, potty breaks, and lots of attention. For cats and other pets, I’m happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), and general check-ins. I understand every pet has a different personality and routine, and I do my best to follow their normal schedule closely while you’re away.

“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!”

Julia C.

“I'm grateful we found Alicia to walk our Ruby. She loves and understands dogs. Our dog can be reactive meeting new people, yet Alicia new how to easily navigate this. They quickly became the best of friends! She even worked on some training with her during the walk and took adorable pictures. Thank you!”

“Joseph was great with my pup. He was on time and responded to messages quickly. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of a good walker.”

Charles S.

“Roberta was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, she was so nice on the meet and greet and she treated our little Taco with lots of love and patience. I would definitely book her again! 😊”

“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”

About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.

About: I work from home 8-5, M-F. Availability is flexible but can shift by the week if commitments come up. I’ve had animals in my life as long as I can remember and love taking care of them. I’ve been lucky to be a parent to both dogs and cats and have years of experience meeting the needs of pets (while also giving them lots of love and attention). I live near South Waterfront and right outside my door is a walking path that’s perfect for long dog walks by the river but also leads to many parks and dog parks. My services include walking (in your neighborhood or mine), house sitting, and drop-in visits. My schedule is flexible and can likely accommodate yours. I will bring a positive, patient presence to your pet and like to let them set the pace for how quickly we get comfortable with each other. I’m happy to give photo updates as I know how the peace of mind check-ins can make. I currently work remotely full time which allows flexibility to care for your pets. I can pop over for walks, check-ins and/or house sit as needed depending on times, date, location. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of your pet. Whether cat or dog, I will feed, water, and provide care according to your preferences. For dog walking in my neighborhood, your pet will have river trail access and close to several green spaces just outside my front door.

“Meriwether helped me out when I needed a dog walker last minute due to my terrible planning skills. She was very communicative and asked all the right questions about my dog and was patient with his mediocre leash skills and willing to enforce some of his training/boundaries we've been working on. I'll definitely be booking her again if she's available next time I need a dog walker.”

“Allison arrived on time for a dog walking session. Most importantly our dog really liked her and she was very kind to our little kids and entertained their many questions. Overall I recommend Allison.”
