Dog Walking Creston-Kenilworth

About: Most of my experience is with dogs but I have cared for several of my friends cats while they were away, along with multi-pet households. I recently lost my sweet girl Bella, the pit bull, and watching friends' and families' pets has brought me a lot of joy. I am innately drawn to animals which led me to a degree in animal behavior. I have administered medications for my own elderly dogs and understand the patience needed for both seniors and puppies (and kittens!). I am active so exercising high-energy dogs is no problem either. I would be comfortable with other kinds of pets to (lizards, birds). I follow instructions to a T and am very reliable. You let me know what you need, and I'll take care of it. I also respect the needs of individual animals- they all have different personalities and should be treated as so. I hope I get to meet you and your companions! I currently work a hybrid remote job that I get to pick and choose my hours and when they are worked. Occasionally, I need to be in the office for 2-6 hours at a time but if booked far enough ahead, I can limit that more. Most of my job is admin and can be done anywhere. I am also allowed to bring pets to work so if you are comfortable with that, we can talk about that if is helpful for your needs. I currently have no pets (just lost my favorite girl recently) and it is what motivated me to start professionally sitting although I have done it for friends and family as a side gig for years. My pets were always my priority. They are part of the family. When I watch other's pets I make sure I take notes when they give me instructions and I refer back to any instructions they provided to make sure I have it all figured out. I want people to feel safe and relaxed when they are either away at work or away on vacation and not have to worry about being bothered by the sitter constantly (unless they want photo updates, of course!). I have stayed over at people's houses and definitely just stick to whatever boundaries they have laid out. I have also had other's pets in my home. I have a backyard that is fully fenced. I am very attentive and get joy out of having them around, even the grumpy ones! My partner and I have been together for 13 years. He is an animal lover as well and works a lot so if boarding in my home his interactions would be limited but we could arrange for meeting him as well in case there were any concerns. When I go to others houses, I go solo, always.

About: I have always been a pet sitter, even from a young age. I am trustworthy, communicative and will treat your pet like my own. I know how scary it is to leave your pet alone with a new person and I'd love to be the person that treats your fur baby exactly how you prefer. I am a Cincinnati transplant who just moved to Portland. I am currently working part time, and I would love to spend my free time hanging out with your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I'm more than happy to work with you to help meet your needs! My pets have always meant the world to me. I enjoy nothing more than spending as much time with my cat as possible, your animal is no different. I have 15+ years of experience caring for folk's animals while they're away or at work. I will do my very best to keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pet, as well as communicate any questions/comments and concerns right away.

About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and affection they need while you're busy! From refreshing neighborhood walks to cozy backyard playtime and feeding, I make sure your pup's routine never misses a beat. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, and I have excellent availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I am reliable, punctual, and ready to help. I focus heavily on building a secure, stress-free experience for your pets. In your home, I ensure your pup or cat stays safely on their comfortable turf, following their exact feeding, potty, and exercise protocols. I am highly observant and proactive, ensuring that potential hazards are avoided during neighborhood walks and that your home is kept completely secure. Clear, honest communication and real-time photo updates are a standard part of how I build trust with every client.

“I give Ursula 5 stars and this is not something I would do typically this early in the services you guys are providing but my Barney spotted her in my parking lot and I cracked open the window so he could get her scent and bam ! He immediately loved her,no matter who it is Barney will bark at any one coming up my stairs and he did not Bark when Ursula came up AND he whimpered when she left. She updated me every step of the way with multiple pictures and lastly she has gave me peace of mind so i can focus on work .”

“Cindy is great. She has walked our dog several times now and we are excited to continue working with her! We had never used a dog walker before and it’s safe to say we are a bit over-concerned dog parents. On top of that, our pup Mosley is extremely shy and fearful of new people and places so I was anxious to onboard someone to walk him. Cindy has been extremely patient, communicative, and kind with both us and Mosley. She gives plenty of updates and is happy to receive feedback about our pup, which has made us feel extremely comfortable. It’s a big decision to let someone into your home and trust them with your treasured fur baby and we made the right choice with Cindy.”

Alexandra & Brian N.

About: Hello! I'm a very conscientious and loving pet walker/drop-in sitter who will go above and beyond to make sure your four-legged family member feels safe and loved. I've had dogs and cats my whole life (varying sizes/breeds), and have had a range of experiences with them, including handling medical conditions, training, and making sure they get enough exercise. I also used to work at a pet retail store for multiple years and have gained a wealth of experience in how best to care for pets. I would love to help give your pet some love and care while you're away! I'm happy to give couch cuddles, play time, walks, and basic needs. I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them great care! I have a flexible remote work schedule most days, so my availability for sitting visits is pretty open! I am available for drop-in visits and walks. When visiting a pet in your home, I am very respectful of your space and focus on making sure your pet is taken care of. I check all food and water bowls, making sure they’re clean, making sure the environment is still safe how you left it, and giving them any needed enrichment like play time, cuddles, walks, etc that you’ve outlined.
