Dog Walkers in Downs, OR

“This was my first time using Rover and Kevin, and I couldn't be more pleased. Kevin spent extra time with Poppy before her walk to make her feel comfortable with him. This was not expected, but much appreciated! He also sent me plenty of photos and a nice summary of their walk which was reassuring. I can see why Kevin has received several 5 star ratings. I've already booked Poppy's next walk. Thank you Kevin!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one—from growing up with dogs, cats, horses, and livestock to working as a dog groomer every summer for five years. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pups who need a little extra care. I’m confident with bathing, grooming, and administering medication when needed. I have a rescue dog of my own (Tina!), and we love long walks, fresh air, and new adventures. I know firsthand how stressful it can be trying to find the right person to care for your pets - that's why I go above and beyond to give my clients peace of mind! I work remotely from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day—even for last-minute bookings. Thank you! In your home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. I also keep your home tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away!

About: We are a dog loving family and have one dog named Link who loves to make new friends. When going out of town, we've struggled to find many places that will treat Link how we would and make him part of the family, this inspired us to provide this for other families and dogs. There will typically be someone home with your pet when they are staying in our home, Haley stays at home with the kids and would let your dog out to play in our large backyard as often as needed. She can also take dogs on walks and keep them comfortable in our home during the day. We will have a crate or dog bed inside available for nighttime sleeping. Our children are taught to be kind and gentle to animals and are so excited to meet new dogs. We have fenced in chickens in the yard. Nathan has been through multiple obedience and agility training courses through the years and has experience with various breeds. We look forward to meeting you. We are at home a lot with the kids and pets. Haley is at home with the kids during the week and Nathan works around the block. We have a fenced, large yard which is very secure for dogs. We have toys and balls to throw for the dogs, they will have lots of play time.

About: I've always had a love for animals and have had an animal in my life since I was a child. They truly are a joy and are so sweet, smart, and intuitive! I don't currently have my own fur baby which makes Rover such a great experience. I enjoy meeting all the different and new friends. ;) Animals aren't just pets they are a part of the family and need the same love and care. When I care for your fur babies I always hope to provide a positive and loving experience for them while you're away. I’ve been with Rover and doing Animal care professionally for a little over two years. If you’re looking for a pet nanny to give some extra love and care I’m your gal! :) My schedule is very flexible as I am self employed. So this allows me to be available for extra love and all your pet care needs :) I know it can be a little nerve wracking for your pets or you as a pet owners to leave your pets (and home) alone especially with someone new! I hope to make a calm and joyful experience for your fur babies especially if they have separation anxiety. I can give as much love, care, and play time needed to soothe these moments. All animals are different and I like to cater to that. Getting a new babysitter can be off putting for anyone… haha I feel animals are more comfortable when they get to stay in their own environment instead of having to acclimate to new spaces and energy. During the stay I will provide lots of fun photo updates so you can stay up to date on all of our adventures and cuddle moments! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!

“Maleny has been walking Mabel for 4 weeks now. She does a wonderful job. She communicates well and keeps me informed of any changes that happens. Mabel loves her. She gives Mabel personal attention. I can’t ask for a better dog walker. Maleny brings in packages that are on my porch. She goes the extra mile for my Basset Hound!”

About: I love animals!!! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and even horses for over 10 years. Choose me to care for your special little critter or critters, I’ll treat them like my own Most days I wake up early in the morning and let my cat inside and feed him and give him some love before I leave for school or lift. When I get back he’s usually waiting for me outside the door so we can hangout! After we’re done hanging out I clean his litter box and make sure he has his gourmet dinner that he has everyday. I take care of my cat spooky everyday by feeding him, cleaning his litter box often, deshedding him, and giving him lots of love and cuddles, and I can do the same for your critters. I care about the safety of your critters and will always be aware cautious of my surroundings while walking and taking care of them.

“Natalie seriously came through for me! I had a last-minute appointment and was stressed about getting Indy out, but she stepped in right away with no hesitation. She did a great job and even sent a detailed update, which I really appreciated, especially since they hadn’t met before. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🤍🐾”

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and care for all types. I am reliable, patient, and treat every pet great! I worked at a pet care for about a year as well! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my time around their needs. I can provide regular visits, feedings, walks, playtime, and attention on a schedule that works for each pet. I care for pets in their own home, following their usual routine for meals, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I was a veterinary technician for 10 years. I have worked with every kind of animal out there at every stage of life. I switched career fields, but I’m still a animal lover who misses working with dogs. I’m currently working full time Monday-Fridays. I have hour lunches so depending on location I could do a potty break or short walk during that slot. I also get off at a decent time in the evening and have weekends completely free. Unfortunately I would not be able to do pet sitting, or walks at my home due to my dogs behavior. But I am more than willing to drive to the fur babies home to take them potty near by or if okayed, to take them on a walk on a nearby trail. I have plenty of experience with animals and have a trusted understanding of dog behaviors.

About: I’ve pet sat for over 10 years for friends & family. I’d love to care for yours. I have two tabby’s who are well trained and have been around dogs in the past. My pup unfortunately passed away last summer and I’m not ready to get on full time but would love to care for yours as I cared for her and give them the best experience while you’re away. I have the weekend free, Columbia and I tend to go on hikes and or at the park. During the week, I go home directly to let my own dog out to the bathroom. I will follow any instructions following your pet. I understand how important consistency is. We have a side yard for playing, potty breaks or sunbathing.

About: I've had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds for the past 40 + years. I want this experience to be a great one that is stress free for you and your animals. If they are use to a certain routine eat at a certain time, walks ect. Please let me know. I will treat them like they are my own. I am available for holidays and last minute trips I would love to care for your fur kids. I have lots of love to give & would love to spend time with them. I can adapt to any situation. I'm here to make your animals experience go smoothly. I know us humans can experience anxiety & I feel that animals feel the same thing (I believe). I will do my best to make this experience great for all of us. I am good at multi tasking. I will give 110%. I will always make your animals a priority when I'm watching them. I want this to be a great experience for all of us. I will care for them like they were my very own. I will follow your pets normal routine and do my very best to keep them on their normal schedule. I want them to feel like it is when the owners are at home with them.

“Thank you so much for taking my Mom’s dog for walks. My Mom is very happy and so is the dog! It is obvious that you really care about dogs. You are doing an awesome job!!”

About: I love dogs and as much as we would like one of our own… we will substitute our love with sitting and loving yours while you’re away!! I've worked 2 years at a pet store when I was younger have hands on experience in pet care from puppies to seniors! I would love to meet your fur babies and when they're with me I'll love them as if they're my own. It’s hard leaving your 4 legged babies but when they’re in my care you’ll never have to worry about them. I have my own business so I’m usually with clients from 10-1, pick up my daughter from school at 230 and will have the evenings at home to walk and play the pups! With weekends off it allows me to be full time loving and playing with them! We have access to great walking trails and dog parks! Must be kid friendly as I have a 2 and 12 year old! I live in a farm house outside of town and there is currently no fenced yard so we will travel into town and take advantage of nature trails or dog parks so your pup gets plenty of exercise, as we are very active ourselves! My daughters LOVE animals so they will get lots of family love!

About: I've always been an animal whisperer, with animals of all type. I grew up on a farm/forest, and befriended wild animals on a regular basis, as well as our domesticated dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs, horses etc. Since then, I have volunteered for animal shelters, continued befriending all animals I meet, honed my skills with consciously working energy between animals/humans, even learned some animals massage. And currently have friendly dogs, cats, goats, chickens on the 62 acre farm. We also have private areas for your pet, away from other animals. We have multiple people on land, and care is upon self or 2-3 others. We allow only one inside house dog at a time and 2-3 in our shaded outdoor pens. We have fenced areas, some outdoor pens, and some animals of the right nature are allowed inside the home, if that is welcomed by their owners/their demeanor is right, during times of extra special personal attention.

About: I have taken care dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I am patient and engage with each pet at their speed. Building trust and respect are my top values when caring for pets. As a volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society, I understand the unique needs that each pet has and am eager to meet them. I work a part-time job with 6–8 hour shifts on select days. I keep my availability on Rover up to date and will always communicate in advance if a scheduling conflict arises. I’ve cared for pets in a variety of housing situations. I take my time to understand what precautions I can take to keep all pets safe.
