“Lyle showed up in the pouring rain! Very punctual, great communication, professional and reliable. My 2 year old cattle dog is tired after their walks and that’s not an easy task. THANK YOU!!!”
“Brett was perfect for us. Maggie loved her filling in for her regular walker who was on vacation. They made lots of new dog friends and I could totally relax knowing they were safe and having fun.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges, thanks to my own now-reformed former troublemaker, Lycan, my 11-year-old Boxer. Working with him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding, and those are qualities I bring to every dog I care for. Dogs love punctuality. My dog needs three walks a day, and he is my alarm, waking me up for his walk before work with a not-so-gentle cry. My schedule often shifts to adapt to his needs, either by canceling a hike because he's not feeling it or postponing a walk because it's raining. I'm dedicated to any pets in my care. I live in an appartement. With my wife and my dog. We have a pretty spacious patio but a not so spacious appartement. So my dog gets his excercice in the nearby park and on bis weekly hikes. Our living space is safe and organized to facilitate the care for any visiting pet
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I have three full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can be flexible with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I respect my client’s rules, preferences, and boundaries regarding their pets. I will avoid places they’re not supposed to go, keep them on leash at all times, socially distance them if requested, and never give them treats or food unless given owner permission.
About: I grew up in rural Oregon and have owned and rehabilitated all sorts of animals! I put myself through college by becoming a dog groomer. I worked as a dog groomer for five years :) I work full time hybrid. I go in person to cover a four hour shift once a week, otherwise I work a statistics job from home. Plenty of opportunities for potty breaks for your pets :) I have worked with and owned all animals my entire life even spiders and reptiles. Anything your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable in my presence- it is my pleasure.
About: Having grown up on a farm I have been around animals my entire life. My favorite have always been dogs and cats. I have taken animal care and vet sciences in 4H and volunteered in an animal shelter. I can't imagine life without animals, they add so much joy to life. I currently work part time as a caregiver for seniors. Most of my days are 4 to 6 hours long with weekends off. I have a flexible schedule . Since my schedule is flexible I can adjust to you pets needs well so they are being fed and walked at their regular times to help reduce stress.

“Best dog walker ever. So grateful my dog has such a caring and wonderful buddy to take her on walks while I’m at work. Highly recommend Alicia, especially for anxious dogs like mine :)”

“Julia has been very helpful pitching in for midday walks whenever we have schedule changes and cannot be home. We appreciate her flexibility, communication, and thoughtful attention to our dog!”

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“Aaron was kind enough to walk my dog even though we are outside his preferred neighborhood. He was easy to communicate with, sent pics and stayed in touch. Thanks, Aaron!”

“Milo is amazing! He was willing to come meet my anxious border collie before walking her, and did a phenomenal job communicating throughout the process. I would 100% recommend Milo & will definitely have him back to walk Cali soon!”

“My dog is getting up in years and some days has energy and some days wants to take it slow. I can always count on Tayla to be sensitive to her needs each day and tailor her walk. I couldn’t be happier with her sensitivity and kindness to my dog.”

About: I was raised on a farm in rural Texas so most of my experience is not only cats and dogs but also chickenens, horses and cattle! Older animals have my heart :3 I currently have a bearded dragon! Currently I have no set schedule so my availability is very open meaning I can be with your pets all day. Mornings are accepted as well due to myself being an early riser. I care for each pet as of they are my own, they'll get all the attention they want and play that they need. I'm a very clean person as well so rest assured your place will not be messy or dirty when you return.
About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.
“Kat is incredible with my dog. She is very patient and in-tune with her needs. She's very communicative and I fully trust that my pets will be in good hands when they're under her care.”

About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Downtown is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Alisha was absolutely wonderful w my sweet boy, Gus! She clearly cares deeply for the pets she walks and watches and took extra care to understand Gus needs and preferences before she even met him and clearly took great care to give him the best walks possible! Will absolutely be using Alicia again and would highly recommend!

Kimo is wonderful! He is kind, professional, and reliable. He does a great job of communicating quickly & working with last-minute changes when they come up. Most importantly, I feel like my pup is in good hands! He comes back happy & ready for a nap after his walks with Kimo, which is great to see for my high energy guy, who becomes anxious if he doesn’t have enough time mental & physical stimulation. Thank you, Kimo!!
