Dog Walking Creswell

About: HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR SPECIFIC PET NEEDS. I am a rural mail carrier for the United States Postal Service. I've probably already met your dogs, cats or chickens or peacocks on my shift. I have several years experience in the professional pet care community; that includes 5 years in the veterinary field and 6 years as a small business owner. My side-hussle/ animal passion is dog-hiking, but I am a pet-sitting pro. **Bonus: I HAVE FARM ANIMAL EXPERIENCE!** I have multiple years of assistanting with sheep, goats, alpaca, including several years of experience in care and handling of birds such as chickens, ducks, geese and parakeets. Additionally, I am confident with reptiles (snakes, turtles, collard lizards, salamandars, aquatic frogs), hampsters, guinea pigs, bunnies and large rabbits all of which for whom I have cared. I have raised fish in both tanks and ponds. Other services I provide include Drop-In Visits, Nail Trims, Administration of Medications and House Sitting. I am trained and skilled in recognizing abnormal behaviors and I am quick to act when care is necessary. *As of 2026 I am not currently up-to-date in animal CPR, but have previously completed this course for cats and dogs through a licensed veterinarian in Lake Oswego, Oregon and have real life experience using this life saving technique. PLEASE NOTE IN ADVANCE if your fluff baby does not yet handle children. I am a homeschooling mom and my Mini-Me is often with me on my visits. I currently have 3 dogs, 7 fish, a collared lizard, and a human child (and a husband lol). My rate varies and I accommodate sliding-scale needs. I home-school my gifted 3rd grader and work super-part time with my government job. This means I'm very flexible! I can mold my day around your furbabies schedule. **I can do doggy day care or over nights at my home for well established clients only.** I have a fully fenced, dog and child-centric acre with grass and gravel, sun and shade. I keep all gates closed or locked. With the exception of the doggy door so pups have freedom to come in from the elements or to go out for fresh air and potty breaks.

“Sarah took my large golden doodle Finnegan for weekly walks over the last seven months. She was always professional and easy to work with. Finnegan loved his walks with her. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Sarah!”

About: I have a dog of my own, a Yorkie, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Having my own dog has given me personal experience with the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet and making sure their needs are met. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I would love to get to know your pet and provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and help make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! As a student at the University of Oregon, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate visits, walks, and feeding times around my classes and other commitments. I am dependable and organized, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s usual routine. I will communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, care, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring every step of the way.

About: I’ve had dogs since young and I’ve loved to train them and work with them. I also really enjoy talking dogs for walks because it is super peaceful and fun. I am currently a college student who is already active. I go for runs at least 3 times a week and can incorporate more walks into my routine. I will abide by the clients rules and how they walk their animal. I also will try to create a bond with the pet so they want to go with me or allow me in their home.

“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”

“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been dog-sitting since I was around 12 years old, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of love, and making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat your dog like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way! I’m a full time college student, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to plan my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I understand the importance of consistency and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow special instructions and send photo updates so you know your pet is in good hands!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, fish, chickens and goats. I have experience caring for both young and senior dogs. I prioritize play and walks for young, active dogs. I have also administered medication to senior pets. I am a cleanly person and will clean up pet waste during the duration of my sit. I am currently employed part time. If you are ok with your pet being left alone for 5-6 hours for 3-4 days of the week please contact me! Right now, I don't work weekends so your pet would not be left alone for as long on Saturdays and Sundays. Beyond working, I do prioritize ensuring dogs are given regular bathroom breaks. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.

About: I will care for and love on your animals like they are my own. I follow their vibe, wanna play, we play, wanna walk, we walk, wanna cuddle, we cuddle ♡ easy peasy. I've been caring for others creatures for over a decade and have always enjoyed making new relationships with all of them & their owners. I work part time, so I am available to kick it with the fur-creatures pretty often! I am very flexible as is my schedule, so let's connect and make it work! I am more than happy to exist in your home with your fur-babies , where they are most comfortable (: I will keep them company and clean up after them and myself. With the intention of leaving every place I am in, better than I found it. (:

“The best dog walker! Samantha worked with us for almost 3 years doing dog walks for our pup during the week. She is fantastic, goes above and beyond, and our dog absolutely loves her. We are sad to have her leave us!”

“It was raining out and Julie was kind enough to wipe Cleo's paws off after their walk. Thanks Julie!”

About: I've been around pets of all kinds my whole life. Even a little gator at the local pet and pet supply shop. When it comes to dogs, cats, birds, and lizards, I love them all, most of the time they love me, some tolerate until they warm up to me. I love training animals of any kind, or at least trying. :) I have part time availability, but I'm usually able to adjust my schedule to fit in with any client needs. If you pick me, your pet will always take priority and I'll do my darndest to make them comfortable and happy around me. No pets in the home because I don't live alone. As for a clients home I've learned over the years to leave a place the same way I found it. I respect your home and belongings. I can't wait to meet your pet and you.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.

“Love receiving the walking updates & photos. Alisa’s service is terrific. She’s so personable and becomes your dog’s friend. We’ll definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have experience with all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to seniors with higher needs. I’ll always make sure every dog receives all the puppy love they deserve, whether that’s trail-running, daily walks, or a little extra playtime! With me being a student at OSU-Cascades, I have more free time than most, ensuring your pup gets all the care while you’re away 😊 Im a full-time Environmental Science student at OSU-Cascades with plenty of gaps to fill my schedule. This means flexible work and lots of available hours! I’m free pretty much any time, any day :) While my current living space is not suited for dogs, I will always acknowledge that your house is YOUR space and will do my absolute best to keep it better than how I found it. I have dog-sat throughout many places in Central Oregon and should you need a reference, I got you covered. I’m here for the pup and the pup only 😊

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!

About: Words cannot describe the love I have for animals, so if you ever need a break I would give them just as much care as their owner of not more. Your pets are my Allstars! I’m currently working part time at Mod Pizza in the mornings 5 days a week sometimes 6, I would be home no later than 11, shifts vary but still have plenty of time for animal care during the day. I have a fenced backyard and a big old friendly dog who doesn’t know what personal space means and loves to play! I have a medium sized crate if anything becomes too much for the pet as well as a spacious room for more privacy and space.
