I am reliable and have a reliable vehicle. Also I am available on weekends if needed. I am in the Tualatin area near Jurgens Park and I am willing to travel to care for your fur baby. If you have any further questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. I am available during the week after 5pm, and open on the weekends. I have dog parks need my home but totally happy with your doggie parks as well. I have a fully fenced yard, I do have a cat and 2 bunnies :) my pup passed in December and looking forward to hanging with other 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.
“Megan was great with my dog, Nico! She provided prompt photo updates and report cards, and got lots of steps in during their 30 minute walk. I feel very comfortable having Nico in her care.”
“Heather was great. When she came to meet our dogs, she sat on the floor and let our suspicious and somewhat aggressive dog come to her. After that, all was well and she was part of the family. Thanks!”
About: I have been an animal lover and had many kinds of pets throughout my whole life. I have been pet sitting since I was a kid so I have over 15 years of experience. I have experience with senior pets and pets who have special medical needs such as medications or subcutaneous fluid administration. I have two lovely cats and would lover to have a dog of my own again someday. I am a new graduate nurse who is looking to fill my time while I look for a job in nursing. I am home all week and don’t typically leave for more than a couple hours at a time. I have two cats, one is almost 2 years old and the other almost a year. We have a two story home in a great neighborhood that has lots of open green space for walking, playing, and toileting.
About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.
“Alyssa has been a joy to work with! She takes such great care of my pups! She has walked them most days during the week over the last month and took her time with them while they were adjusting and now they are excited to see her and are getting their mid day playtime 😊 she is very thorough in her responses, gives many updates and photos! I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Erika walk my dog 3 days a week and is amazing! She always makes sure to take pictures and update if anything is different (I.e loose stole or not eating his breakfast). It’s great knowing my boy will be taken care of while I’m at school.”
About: I have extensive experience from raising parrots grooming dogs & cats and assisting in veterinary clinics and surgeries. Very easy going and have training experience. I do side jobs right now and have cared for so many pets for others which has been so enjoyable and rewarding to me. My schedule does fill up but I will do emergency last minute if possible. There are many different styles to care and keep safe. This would be up to how you want it done but the biggest for me is safety while caring for you pet.
“Alex walks my dog regularly while I am at work and I am so glad I found someone I can depend on. She is flexible with the weekly schedule, responsive when I reach out and sends me detailed updates after each walk. Alex seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I know that Alex takes good care of my dog since she is always at ease when I come home from work. I highly recommend Alex for any of your pet care needs!”
“Corey has been a lifesaver for my pug, Poppy, and me! She walks her 4 days a week and brings her son, Luke, with her which I love because Poppy's rarely around kids (plus, I know that between Corey and Luke, Poppy is getting a good dose of exercise during their visits). I am so grateful that they take such good care of my girl (and she captures great photos of her!). Thank you, Corey (and Luke)!”
“So grateful for Annalei. My dog Zara just loves her so much, and is so comfortable with her. Just so happy to have Annalei providing such excellent service for us.”

Durham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Annalei is great at communicating information and responds very quickly to messages. It had been a while since our pup had been walked by someone other than us but our dog recognized Annalei right away from a few years ago and eagerly went on a walk with her. Annalei is very kind and patient and we felt so comfortable (and grateful she came all the way back to our neighborhood) to walk our dog.
Hannah and my 8-month-old Husky got along great! I really appreciated her willingness to meet my needs, including doing a late-night 10 PM walk each night for several days. She even worked on obedience training during their walks, which was such a huge bonus. It’s clear she knows how to handle energetic puppies and make the time productive as well as fun. Hannah also provided detailed updates after each walk, which gave me peace of mind. She is friendly, professional, and very flexible. When I had a scheduling conflict, Hannah was able to accommodate a last-minute change without any issues. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Caitlin and her boyfriend Aleksander did a wonderful job walking our two huskies. They have also house sat for us before and did an exceptional job. Appreciate their responsiveness and thoroughness! One of our girls recently had surgery and the other is elderly; both require specialized care. Caitlin and Aleksander listened carefully to their unique needs and took great care of them. Thankful for the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!
