Dog Walking In Denny Whitford

“We are so happy to have Josh walk our pups! He came over for a meet n greet and it went fantastic! We had him scheduled for a week in June to do daily walks but since it went so well, we wanted to start sooner! He just had his first official walk and it went so great. He’s a great communicator and is very prompt! Lucky to have Josh helping with our pups!”

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.

“Emma was fantastic with my dog! He took to her so quickly and he’s usually more shy/timid around strangers. She followed all instructions to a T and took a bunch of photos which I appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Emma to watch your fur babies!”

“Corey has provided amazing services for my dog, Remington. I can always count on her as she is always reliable. She always has great communication skills and always updates me about Remington as needed. She’s definitely compassionate towards animals and I would recommend her for anyone needing services in the future. Also if you book with her she will send you super cute pictures of your animals on their walk!”

Since I was 10 years old, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets. While I love all dogs, rescue dogs hold a special place in my heart.

“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I've had cats and dogs growing up my whole life. I was the primary caregiver, trainer and best friend. I also took care of many of the neighbors cats and dogs while they were away. And their farm animals as well. Also have experience from the Army training tracking and guard dogs. I am a retired latter carrier and a disabled Army Veteran. I have all the time in the world to devote to caring for your pets when needed. Particularly with dogs during the day. Walking is great for your dog and gets me the exercise that I need. It's a win-win. And it's a plus that I get the hang around with dogs. , i currently do not have dogs or cats of my own. I do live in an apartment but I'm close to many parks and trails. I'm available for a client's home sitting as well and will always abide by the wishes of the client for their pets.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for a couple hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and Sunday early afternoons I have church but other than that I’m available. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

About: Hi! I have many years working with and around animals! I grew up in a household with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have also worked at doggie daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I am the kind of person who will love your animal as my own while you are away! From giving meds to special feeding instructions or continued training reinforcements I will ensure the best environment for your pet. Pet care is constant. I will make sure to meet all of your needs whether it is being there 24/7 or simply walking your pet. You let me know what your pet needs or wants and I will accommodate to the best of my ability and will be upfront and honest if the needs would not be met. However, it would be rare for me to not be able to meet your pets needs. Pet care is not something that just fits into a schedule. It is something that is constant and consistent. I will make sure to be fully aware and attentive to your pet! I will ensure to treat your space and pet with the upmost respect and care.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter for more than five years for other dogs and I have been a dog owner for 10 years! I’m patient and caring! I’ll be free to walk dogs all summer since I’m a teacher and have this summer off! Be happy to take care of your pet! I have a fenced yard. I have a clean home that’s welcoming to all! I am organized, patient, and kind. I care a lot about dogs!

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs my entire life. I loved my childhood dogs whole heartedly through their years and was a primary member in their care when they were seniors. Recently, my family adopted a puppy as well, so I am comfortable with working with young dogs who need more attention and training. I am very familiar with regular day to day at home dog care as well as paying attention while dog walking for distractions, other dogs, or safety concerns. I am currently in pharmacy school on rotations, usually from Monday through Friday during the morning to the afternoon. I am usually available all day during Saturdays and Sundays and if you’re in a pinch and need someone during evenings on weekdays, message me and I’ll let you know if I can help you out! I can usually respond by the end of the day. I will not be able to offer day care in my home as my family recently adopted a puppy. However, as someone who has owned both a big and a small dog, I am very conscious on keeping spaces clear and doors closed to avoid dogs getting into anything they shouldn’t be. Further, I am very comfortable with schedules and taking dogs out to go to the bathroom frequently if need be, either on a leash or letting them out into a fenced in backyard.
