Dog Walkers in Crescent, OR

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.

About: Hi! I’ve had both large and small dogs my entire life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I’m experienced with all personalities—from high-energy, playful pups to calm, easygoing companions—and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique needs. I currently have a 3-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Blueberry, who is friendly, social, and learning the ropes of being a great companion. We live on 1 acre with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. We’re located about 15 minutes from Sunriver and 30 minutes from Bend, making for a peaceful, spacious environment away from the busy city. Your dog will enjoy lots of outdoor time, play, and attention while staying with us. I’m available for boarding on weekends and Mondays, and I can also accommodate weekday boarding after a meet & greet to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where your dog feels right at home. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care!

“Keri was awesome and was able to short notice take my dog for a walk while I was on a trip in the area! She was very attentive, sent pictures and seemed very comfortable with my dog who can be a bratt and bark at first! Thanks Keri!”

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was small. My neighbors and friends have relied on me for help, and I've been a pet owner my entire life. Currently, I have 2 dogs, Darby and Wallace, who are family. I also have years of experience working in veterinary offices and am accustomed to administering medications for animals of all sizes. I am mostly retired at this time, and so my schedule is fairly open. I'm available for home visits, dog walks, and some boarding opportunities in our home. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet happy and entertained. they can have a private bedroom if you wish to give them some relaxation and rest time. I am also very happy to do in-home visits in order to keep your pet in their regular environment.

About: The first time I left my fur baby with a sitter, I was a nervous wreck. So I get it! I know that your dog (or cat, or bunny, or hamster - I’ve taken care of them all!) is an important member of the family, and I want to make sure they’re safe and happy, and that you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, and have done it all - cleaned up messes, administered medication, and clipped nails. I’m self employed and work from home, so I can be with your fur baby 24/7! Needless to say, I love animals, and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m self employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule, and can be with your fur baby 24/7! I’ll work around your dog’s schedule. Many pets are more comfortable being in their own home, so I offer house sitting. I make sure to take care of your home like I would my own! I’m also happy to water any plants, put out garbage cans, and anything else you might need.

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me!

Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners.

“Airanna was on time, communicated well, and most importantly was great with our sweet dog who can react to other dogs and animals. We will be delighted to hire her again.”

About: My name is Michael. I've been a volunteer with the Humane Society and dog trainer for the last 5 years. I've owned dogs ever since I moved out for college and plan to have dogs be part of my life for as long as I get to live. I'm a firm believer that using dog psychology correctly never requires physical force, instead taking advantage of powerful sounds and scents are often even more effective training tools. Dogs are amazing animals with complex needs and as a avoid dog lover I'd be honored to lighten your load by helping with your dog. Walking or running is no problem for me, as I am training to compete in at least 10 runs this year I could use the training.

“Shana was amazing with Woodford. She definitely is a dog person and is good at handling his energy and is very observant of changes in his demeanor. He gets more sluggish as things get hot and makes sure he doesn't get overheated as the weather changed. Very pleasant and great communication.”

“I cannot express how truly impressed I am with Kelly and the wonderful level of care she provided for my dog. From the moment we first communicated, Kelly displayed exceptional professionalism, warmth, and enthusiasm. She consistently went above and beyond, making her one of the best dog walkers I have worked with. Every day, I could tell Raina's (my dog) pictures showed she felt more comfortable and very happy with Kelly. Not only did she take my dog on engaging, enjoyable walks, but she also sent wonderful photos and thoughtful comments after each visit. These updates gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to feel connected to my dog even while I was away. My brother, who was also helping to care for my dog during this time, repeatedly commented on how reliable, consistent, and easy to communicate with Kelly was. She was always punctual, attentive to my dog's specific needs, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. I truly appreciated the genuine care and attention Kelly showed Raina. Her dedication and reliability made a world of difference, and I will absolutely use her for Raina again. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog walker.”

About: I'm a huge animal person, I grew up having pets and currently have a chocolate lab and a maincoon cat! I love meeting animals and seeing all their different personalities! I know how much pets are family and I'd like to give peace of mind to owners when they cannot be present, their loved one is still being checked on, taken for walks and played with! I have a very flexible schedule. We have multiple extra bedrooms in our house for boarding if needed, as well as a very large fully fenced back yard. We live about 5 minutes walking distance to a great park away from busy roads. I drive a Jeep so easy transportation for pets of all sizes is no issue too.

About: Give me all the pet snuggles! I am very active and would love to walk, run or cross country ski with your babies! In 2021 transitioned my cat of 18 years and my dog of 14 years an now I find myself with more love for animals to give. I have experienced pet sitting for animals of all ages and breeds. I have professional training in "aggressive" breeds and more finesse needing dogs. I have had many pitbulls in my life and experience helping them learn and cope in different situations. All animals are sweet babies who deserve pure love,compassion and understanding. I love all breeds, sizes and ages of animals. I have so much love for cats and dogs because I had the most loving pair. They taught me how to slow down, listen and give love. I am active, I will go play, walk, hike or just chill with your dog. I will snuggle, spoil, and play with your cat. You just tell me what they like and we will give them a better than expected time with me. Because I know how badly my pets missed me when I would travel especially as they were aging and having declining health, I will treat your pet with the utmost respect and care. I saw my pets all the way through to the end and I feel like an expert on all life stages, medicine application, elderly care, and any adjustments needed for any special considerations. Pick me pick me! I currently work for myself owning a small recycled apparel business. I often have everyday available in some way to be home or can work my schedule to be flexible to fit. I have a jeep wrangler for a great transport vehicle. I am open to staying in your home and abiding to all of your rules. Just let me know what you are hoping for and let's try to make that happen! Schedule: I work for myself mostly from home and I have my booth and business at many events in the area. I prioritize you and your pets as much as possible outside of having to go to an event. I can stay at your house or do drop ins as needed. I work from the phone or computer mostly. I love to stay busy and learn so feel free to allow me to shovel snow, water plants, water the garden, bring in mail or packages and more. I prefer a list of care including a vets number, food preferences, etc etc. I had a few huge gardens in my life and I am a big fan of living things and what they need to thrive.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I travel full-time in my camper van, which actually makes it easy for me to stay close by when caring for pets. When house sitting, I park in the driveway and stay nearby so I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. Because I stay in my camper van parked at the home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day and night if your pet needs anything. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: When I was younger I walked the neighbors dogs all the time and was asked by one of my regulars, if I could stay the weekend and i think thats when i first got the idea. Spending the past 17 years in the military and being away from home more often than not, i saw the importance of having someone trustworthy that will love and treat you pets as their own. I enjoy getting to know all the different personalities they hold and especially when they are with other dogs. I recently lost my dog of 17 years. She was my best friend and although I have so much love to give, I am just not ready for another just yet. I am retired and currently work part-time at Starbucks. I also teach occasional yoga classes. I have about 4 days a week that I am free I have a fenced in but small yard. Access to military dog parks and love to take my own dog on at least 4 miles a day with occasional leashed hikes

About: I have had my own pets since I left home at 17. I have worked in veterinary offices and kennels. I have traveled with my pets at all ages. My schedule is very flexible. I can be home with your pet, I can take your pet with me, I can make your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. I am doing this to help. I have recently chose to be pet free for this moment in time. I feel a lil pet starved you could say. I have a flexible schedule and the ability to cover any needs that might be needed.

“Cheyenne was great with all our dogs and also was very clutch in an emergency situation that came up. Her communication was appreciated.”

About: Working with animals is my favorite hobby. I have helped with many foster programs and worked with plenty of adoption dogs and currently work as a veterinary assistant. What I can provide is extreme attention to detail on your pets needs. Whether it’s a drop in or a walk, your dog is in good hands with me. I love playing fetch and giving belly rubs but I also don’t mind a short mile walk. I did learn basic obedience training and am willing to help teach owners and dogs alike. I do also have practice administering oral medications, topical ointments, and injections such as insulin. The whole experience is for the dog and I would like to provide exceptional care well beyond imaginable. Whatever your pet needs, I am here to provide. I work full time at a veterinary emergency and specialty hospital as an assistant. I currently work 7a-5:30p Monday to Thursday so those can be long days for kiddos. I am free Friday to Sunday to house sit, walk, check in. I typically hike or run daily at least 3 miles if you have an active, high energy pup. I try to keep to the norm for the pets I’m watching, if they’re used to going for a long walk in the morning and having a more chill evening then that’s what I do too.

About: Where Experience and compassion meet - I am a responsible, experienced pet sitter. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me and I LOVE cuddles so if they're a little needy I'm okay with that. I'm available any day. I work from home. I am just moving here and haven't found my permanent home yet so I'm willing to go to yours. Once I have a house with a yard I can bring pets to mine. I take care of them as their owners request. If there are minimal instructions I typically ensure they are fed/watered, and take for potty breaks every few hours. I play and cuddle if they're open to that or wanting that. I'm pretty attentive and most animals feel at ease with me immediately.

About: I've cared for dogs all over the world. It is pleasure to get to know them, whatever their peculiar characteristic may be. I caretaked dogs on ranches in New Mexico and groomed dogs in Greece. I've walked them all over Chicago and NYC. I'm currently in aviation school and my girlfriend works from home. I would love to pet sit while I do some homework or take some walks between classes. We have big fenced-in backyard in Redmond which just got fresh sod and is super comfy. I also am always looking for an excuse to take a walk so that would be one of the perks of the job for me.

About: Happy to discuss rates** I’m a seasonal wildland firefighter who recently started an LLC for pet/house care (equipped with general liability). I’m very active and prefer to be outdoors or working. I have experience dealing with sick and injured dog friends and am far from squeamish around first aid as an EMT. I treat my animal friends with kindness and compassion and homes of friends with respect and care. In the non-fire season (November-April), I clean houses for a few clients and also will walk their dogs/ house sit while they’re on vacation. I’m hoping to add a few dogs to the weekly routine as well as take care of pets & homes during vacations. At the moment I’m hoping to find a few dogs that would love weekday morning or evening walks. Though I am flexible for midday, walks it would really depend on location. I am unable to care for your dog in my own home. For my clients I like to offer deep cleaning and errand running while clients are on vacation (did I mention I clean houses) I am very attentive to specific feeding hours, potty breaks, routine walks and of course play and affection time! I’m also very good at bad selfies and portrait mode candids of your pets!
