Dog Walking East Deering

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, from growing up with pets to pet-sitting countless dogs and cats across NYC. My two cats, August and Ivy, are the absolute loves of my life - My goal is simple: to provide your beloved pets with the exact same high standard of care, safety, and affection that my own two companions receive at home. I work in the office 3 days a week, but I have an hour for lunch and live only 7 min from my office. If close enough I will be able to check in midday as well as morning and after work. I have a fenced yard, though my cats are indoor only I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and enjoy playing fletch for round after round after round. I am organized and will have notes based on what you need for each drop in, will supply pictures, be there on time and stay the whole time. Having used rover myself I know how integral these things are!

About: I’ve spent the majority of my life taking care of horses so rest assured I’ll be able to handle your dog! Have owned German shepherds so big or crazy dogs are fine by me as well. My dog passed last year and I am desperately missing all the time I spent outside walking and playing with him. I am currently working part time in the evenings so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups during your nine to five! Happy to take care of your pet at your home and work with the set up you have! I will work with what you’ve got.

“Anna made Nahla fall in love with her in about 90 seconds. I think Anna has a presence and a command that is so comfortable around dogs, I love that she gave us notes and pictures via the Rover card, we haven't had that level of communication before.”

“In NEED of a dog walker while recovering from foot surgery, I found Alejandro here on Rover. I chose Alejandro after reading many walker profiles and one review stood out which ultimately helped me make the decision. Alejandro has been very easy to work with, I booked for reoccurring walks for the time I am incapacitated, he has a planned vacation in the middle of my needs. We worked out a schedule that would meet both of our needs. After a few days of being laid up, no one was helping with my pups morning walks. Asked Alejandro if he was available to do mornings and he could! What good luck?! Communication has been great, pup is panting and happy when he gets home, and the rate fits my budget. Thank you Alejandro! Enjoy your vacation and we will see you when you return!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and especially love taking dogs on walks where they get to lead with their noses. I wish I could get a pet right now but since I can’t, I love helping out other pet owners to get my dog and cat fix! I just moved to Portland and am applying for work in conservation and/or education, so have a very open schedule as I continue my job search. I am usually gone on weekends out in the woods somewhere, but am around the city on weekdays! I cannot host pets in my home, but will happily visit your home and make sure to follow all pet care instructions you leave for me!

“Rose is excellent! She goes above and beyond to keep our pup stimulated on her mid-day walks and always leaves detailed reports with plenty of pictures. She is our go-to walker.”

“Meagan is awesome! She was so excited to meet Knox the first time and went above and beyond with him on their walks! We really appreciated the pictures and notes from their time together. Meagan also shows up promptly and left me with a tired and happy puppy! Highly recommend!”

About: I have been caring for both household and friends furry companions for many years. I personally care for Two dogs, Two goats, a rabbit and 2 cats regularly. I'm relied on to walk, feed, play with and bathe many types of furry friends and am passionate about learning how to care for each animals individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule alongside my work as a professional nanny. As a caregiver, I’m organized, dependable, and used to following individualized routines. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and care they deserve, whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide consistent, individualized care. I believe in clear communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your booking, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. As both a professional nanny and experienced pet sitter, I understand the trust involved in caring for a beloved family member, and I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

“Jennifer is fantastic!! She has been a huge help to us with walks for our new family member, Oreo. She is very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs, and super prompt and efficient. She takes awesome pet photos too!! 🐾 We are so happy to have found Jennifer on Rover.”

Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I create a calm, nurturing environment where pets feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on behavior and surroundings, and always use secure leashes and harnesses. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with kindness, patience, and the same care I’d give my own. Communication is key-I’ll keep you updated so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Katey has been so great with Enzo. She gained his trust almost immediately and, in all the pictures you can really tell he’s really at ease with him. She’s also a great communicator and responds promptly. I only wish I’d found her sooner!”

About: We love taking care of dogs! We are the go-to pet sitters for our friends and family, and now that we are up in Portland, would love to be the go-to sitter for your pup! We've cared for a range of dogs, from puppies to senior pups, and all sizes in between. We have a wonderful 5-year old rescue pup named Dill. He is extremely sweet and does well with other dogs at the dog park and obedience classes. We request that all dogs that stay with us for doggy day care or boarding are friendly with other dogs. We do have space to keep pups separated for breaks, if needed. We both currently work full time jobs away from home, Mon - Friday 9-5, so would not be able to care for dogs that can’t be left alone for the workday. We would still take your pup out for a lunchtime potty break! During the week, our evenings are typically spent at home and the weekends are usually open! We currently live in a large 1 bed apartment with our rescue dog Dill. Your pup would be the only additional dog that we care for and we would introduce them to our pup at a comfortable pace! We have a partially-enclosed backyard and are near the Western Promenade for adventures.
