Dog Walking Damascus

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of many different breeds, sizes, personalities, and behavioral needs. Being a lifelong pet owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal is different. I currently share my home with Pigeon, my 8-year-old rescue, who has given me even more appreciation for the patience and trust that can be especially important with rescue animals. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I give my own. Building relationships with animals is an incredibly rewarding experience and something I truly cherish. I am currently a student at Oregon State University pursuing a Botany degree. All of my classes are virtual, so I am extremely flexible with my schedule and availability. I’m a big believer in meeting pets where they’re at. Some want to play and explore, some want nonstop attention, and others just need a little patience and space to warm up. I’ll get to know your pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet company—I’m happy to provide whatever makes them feel most at home!

About: I have had dogs since I was 16. Cats since I was 20. I have also owned various other animals, including livestock. My schooling helped me learn general animal care and I have had the same dog trainer for 20 years. Our pets have regular vet care. I pet sit for friends and family often, both at their homes and in our own home. Just informational, I do live with males, including teens, who have attended dog training classes and help when I need to step out if the house. I also have a very large yard for lots of running and exercise. I work fill time, but remote. I can choose to be from home or in office so am available to watch pets at home all day, when needed. We have a large fully fenced yard. We do have chickens, but they are gated in their own area. I have a pet gate to keep dogs from going downstairs unattended and a door as backup. I provide a pet water fountain for constant fresh and flowing hydration. Pets get regular treats and training refreshers to keep their minds sharp and engaged. My house is inundated with both cat and dog toys for constant entertainment.

“Amir is our go-to for our dog Yoshi! He's got a calming presence and always sends great photo updates. He's very trustworthy and we'll continue to book with him if available. Thanks Amir!”

“We had always boarded our dogs in a kennel before so this was our first time leaving them in the house for a quick weekend trip with drop in visits and walks. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs. Tori did a great job taking care of our cat and now we’ll use her as our go-to sitter for our dogs.”

“Nadine was super responsive and flexible when I needed last minute help with walking my dog. Nadine was great at communicating before and during the walk if there were any questions and being patient with my stubborn boy. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years and taking care of family members pets as well. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch and play with pets. I’m super flexible with schedules and can plan around anything. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs. Both dogs know, basic commands and enjoy enrichment activities. Both are fed twice a day and given plenty of attention.

“Alyson is amazing! She regularly walks Yogi and does a great job communicating with me if anything comes up. I fully trust her and highly recommend her.”

Olivia C.

“Brittney is the best! She’s super reliable and prompt. She’s very observant of the dog’s behavior and likes and dislikes. She has excellent communication and so she’s really easy to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our family and our dog.”

“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”

“Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence. I really appreciate her professionalism, punctuality, and great communication too! You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!”

“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have hands-on experience caring for pets all of kinds. I have a dog and two cats of my own, volunteer at the local shelter, and have fostered many kittens over the years. Working from home allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pets. Whether it's walking, bathing, feeding, training, or administering medication, separation anxiety. Your furry friends will be in loving hands with me! I offer FREE meet and greets to see if I would be a good fit for you and your pet(s)! **I don't have any recent reviews as I took a break from Rover to finish school out of town. I would love to get back into pet sitting as I have more free time now! I work remotely so I can be with your pets at all times of the day. If I am house sitting for you, occasionally I will leave for 1-2 hrs to go to the gym or getting something to eat. If your pet has separation anxiety, please let me know and I will stay with them the whole day. My family has always been pet oriented. I grew up with cats and dogs and know how to approach your pet safely if they are feeling shy. I've been walking dogs for 7+ years so you can be rest assured I will always come well equipped with supplies such as poop bags, leash connector (if you have multiple pups) water and a bowl.

“Anika was amazing! I really appreciate how they were so responsive and were able to accommodate my last minute request. I highly recommend Anika for all your pet sitting/walking needs!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. At one point my family had eight cats and two dogs. I recently had a rescue cat that followed me home. He had cancer so I had to give him medicine orally every day. I have two 50 lb dogs right now as well. They are both rescue puppies and the first one I got was sick, so I had to give her medicine daily. She is great now! I am comfortable with dogs and cats that require extra care. I am a stay-at-home mom so as long as I'm not dropping off or picking up my boys, I am available. I have a vehicle so I can get to wherever I need to go. When I am at a client's house I will always follow the procedures and guidelines that they feel comfortable with whether I am taking their pet out for a walk or just checking in to make sure their pet is happy and healthy.

“Kay was an awesome to work with. She really cared for my dog Opal and was a great communicator!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. With a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is mostly available evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. For overnight stays, I always leave each home in its original condition. I recognize I’m a guest in someone’s sacred space and I treat it as such. I am considerate of other’s homes and do what I can to ensure animals feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always appreciate detailed care instructions for overnight stays but I do listen, ask lots of questions at meet and greets, and take detailed notes of my own so I don’t forget anything. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

“Megan is always willing to help, especially with my last minute needs, and Ollie absolutely ADORES her. They always go for lengthy walks that tires him out. I appreciate you so much, Megan! Would definitely recommend!”
