Dog Walking in Downtown, Portland, OR

“Sunshine was wonderful. We had her stop by to walk and feed our dog while we were out for the evening. I love that she’s so familiar with our neighborhood and knows all the good walking spots. Our pup seemed very content when we got home. I would definitely use Sunshine again!”

“I really appreciate Ashley. She hung out with my pup during the heat wave and made sure he stayed hydrated. Most importantly, Ashley notified us when she noticed our pup wasn’t being himself and we got the care we needed to for him. She’s a great communicator and I would love to have her again.”

“Yana has walked our dog Shasta many times and always takes great care of her. This weekend we asked if she would be able to help us out by feeding her dinner and breakfast at her walks and she happily helped us out. Would definitely recommend Yana!”

About: I have experience working at a doggie daycare/boarding kennel and I have owned dogs for the majority of my life. I am adept at working to meet dogs' specific needs—from administering medicine to minor training—and I will work to ensure that your dog(s) are safe and feel comfortable when in my care. No matter the size or temperament of a dog I will care for it as if it were my own. I always appreciate spending time with dogs! I have a very flexible schedule. I am a masters student working part time and can go anywhere in the Portland metro area any days of the week. I am happy to care for pets in their own home. I love a check list /care instructions and will always follow specific instructions carefully.

About: Thanks to my destiny of being the cool auntie, I’ve got over 5 years of experience with petsitting and boarding! Growing up, dogs and cats surrounded me, and it’s only fitting they do the same in adulthood. Your fur babies will get all the love from me! I work for myself so my daily and weekly schedules are very flexible! My days start around 7am and go until 10-11pm, and I fill them with walks, errands, and leisure time at home. Summer/fall weekends are more busy for me (wedding/photography industry!), but I can still make time for AM/PM drop in visits. :) I have a spacious 1-bed apartment in a pet-friendly complex/community, located near the waterfront and nearby parks. In client homes I stay respectful of the space and can utilize any enrichments or crates if necessary.

“Taylor and Livy are the best! I had such a peace of mind knowing they were checking on my pups during the day. The dogs were so tired out after the walks! Thanks so much!”

“Olivia was wonderful!! She provided lots of pictures during visits and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pets with her 💚 will be rebooking with her!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Sidra! They have been so amazingly kind and patient with my high anxiety pup. You can definitely tell Sidra has lots of knowledge and experience with all types of dogs. Sidra has also been great at sending daily updates along with a picture after walks.”

“Cameron is so great with our pup! I love to read his feedback after taking Oakley out on walks! He has a lot of experience with dogs, so I feel comfortable knowing he can handle our dog’s puppy energy.”

About: I grew up with several dogs in the house throughout my childhood, including my golden retriever that I had for around 13 years. My family got her as a pup barely a couple years old, and we cared for her until end of life. We took her on frequent walks and would often play with her in the backyard. I have also helped care for my roommates dogs, with experience caring for both their senior dog and new puppy. I am currently only working part-time Monday through Thursday, so I have full availability on the weekends for pet care. My work day has short hours, so I can make time before or after work for pet visits and walks. My short work day also makes me able to house sit without being away for too long. I assist my roommates care for their cats while they are out of town by making sure they have plenty of food and water. I have a bearded dragon I care for by feeding him twice a day, making sure he has plenty of food and greens, and frequently checking the temperature of his enclosure. I ensure his safety by closely watch him and keeping larger animals away while he is out of his cage. I will ensure pet safety in the clients home by carefully following directions and staying in contact as needed. While on walks with dogs, I usually ensure safety by keeping dogs on lease and avoiding other animals.

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat and dog mom, and someone who believes every pet deserves kindness, comfort, and connection. I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Today, I share mine with Kevin (my tabby) and MJ (my miniature schnauzer mix), and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. Whether your pet is a ball of energy or a couch potato, I’m just happy to provide a safe, comforting presence. I also have an eye for detail and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. From feeding and medications to playtime and routines, you can count on me to follow instructions closely and communicate clearly, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day better, and I’d love the chance to help make your pet’s day a little brighter, too. I’m currently free on weekdays and am available morning, noon, and evening for drop-ins, walks, or daycare. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in my home and in yours, and I adjust my approach based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and make sure they have quiet, cozy spots to unwind, especially if they need time to adjust or prefer alone time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to any instructions you provide. I know how important it is for animals to feel secure, so I make sure to keep things consistent and calm. In either setting, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals.

“Mei has walked my dog Koda a few times now. She takes care of him very well and Koda is always so excited when she comes. Definitely continuing walks with Mei!”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced per lover with over 10 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From new puppies to higher needs senior dogs. I have also spent lots of times with cats! I’ve done it all — potty training, teaching fun tricks, giving baths, and will do this for almost any pet. Need a nail clipping? Need potty training? I got you! I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their needs, routines, and quirks. I’m here to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pup will be treated like family — because that’s exactly how I see them! 🐾 I currently have a furry friend in nerd of my own that is walked for over 30+ mins a day, receives medication, and training daily! I am also a dog-foster that will occasionally take in small dogs who need a helping hands before they move onto a home. I also have friends with cats that I adore. I will respect your home and any ground rules you set. Just let me know what is important to you. I will even vacuum/clean up after your pet so you will return happily! In case of a small dog staying with me, they will have an enthusiastic play-mate! I have a chest full of toys including enrichment toys. Walks and feedings will be a breeze. Not to mention plenty of doting by myself and my partner

About: I cannot think of a time in which I have not had dogs in my life! Growing up, I cared for two dogs and raised many farm animals — in the middle of Austin, Texas no less. I have also worked on ranches all over (from Iceland to Oklahoma), so I’m not afraid of getting a little dirty to give the best care to every animal I meet! I currently have three dogs of my own who I raised and trained myself (even the service dog of the bunch). I have my own pets I care for, but spend the rest of my time studying or doing manual labor outdoors. Generally, I have open availability to help others. :) At my home, I have a fenced yard for the dogs, a catio that I built for the cats, and I make sure to keep a routine for things like food time so that they have some structure in their precious lives! Outside of my own animals, I am always very conscious and respectful of the care instructions relayed for other furry (or not furry!) friends.

“Lizzie did a great job with my energetic pup. I really enjoyed how she sent me photos of him throughout the walk, not just at the end. I would hire her again any day.”

About: I’m confident with animals of all sizes and temperaments, whether it’s high-energy pups or more timid pets, I create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve raised and trained my own puppy, cared for friends’ dogs and exotic pets, and spent years fostering and free-roaming rabbits, some of the most sensitive and delicate animals out there. Walking is already part of my daily routine as a full-time naturopathic medical student. While I’m preparing for my board exams over the next month, my schedule is very flexible — with availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to coordinate with you and work around your pet’s needs to find a routine that works best for everyone. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own. Their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m mindful of each animal’s unique needs, body language, and routine so they feel calm, safe, and cared for. Pets are family, and I approach every visit with the same love and respect I’d want for my own.
