Dog Walking Father Blanchet Park

“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”

About: I have taken care of elderly cats, sticking to a routine and administering saline treatment. I am energetic and fun for pets to be around. I'd love to take care of your pet while you're away and understand the importance of pictures and updates to know your best friend is safe and well cared for. I'm currently working full time as a sitter, dog walker and pet boarder. Focused on one pet boarding at a time. I only accept one pet/pet family at a time. I will take multiple pets but only from the same home. I have a fenced yard with space to run and play. I have one athletic and friendly dog, she is a 35 lb mixed breed who loves to chase balls, sticks and frisbees. She is friendly with other dogs, though cautious around large breeds, she warms up quickly. The backyard has easy access inside for all dogs, and water always available for pets.

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

“Alexis was prompt and communicative. I sent her to the wrong address first day and she was super flexible and willing to work with me. Appreciated all her help and will be using her services in the future.”

About: I have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I love animals so much, each is so unique! I have also done extensive dog training with my corgi for 3 years, she has anxiety and reactivity issues. So I’m well versed in those behaviors in animals! I am a pediatric nurse at Randalls in Portland. Rover is something I do on the side for fun because I enjoy it! I also just bought my first home so the extra income is very helpful. I am currently moving into my new home which is very spacious. I personally crate my dog at night, but let her roam inside during the day. I can follow whatever directions you need for your fur baby!

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule for those in the 98664/98683/98684 area. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!

About: I've always loved animals and knew I wanted to work with them in some capacity. Since I was a kid I've been pet sitting for neighbors, or friends/family and then I started walking dogs in college to make extra money. Now, I have 4 years expirence working with dogs and cats and the occasional ferret and sugar glider as a Veterinary Technician. Your fur baby(babies) will be in safe hands with me and I will love and care for them as my own. I'm available most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for drop-ins, playtime or walks with your pets, feel free to message me to set something up <3 Currently I do not have availability for overnight stays. I make sure everyone gets fed, has fresh clean water, I can medicate if needed, I love engaging in interactive play and taking doggos for walks! I have experience reading animal body language too so I know when to take it slower or let them come to me if they seem anxious.

About: I had an 11 year old rescue beagle with special needs and a whole lot of stubborn. I learned a lot from him, especially patience. I am an artist and small business owner splitting time between north Portland and Vancouver. I have a very flexible schedule and looking after your furry friends is a way for me to supplement my growing business. I cant have your pets in my home, but I am more than happy to care for your fur babies at yours. I understand just how important your dog is to you, and I would treat them just as I treat mine. With all the love and treats I can.

About: Hey there! My name is Lauren. I’m a patient, kind animal lover who grew up raising and training a dog of my own, and caring for friend’s pets - dogs and cats alike. I’ve just returned to the Portland area after living in Boise for 5 years and am looking to take care of some furry friends! I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet is happy as can be☺️. I have a car and a very flexible schedule, so please reach out if you need a helping hand with your pets! Currently available all weekdays and weekends. I am a very flexible and communicative person, so I can take on last-minute requests. Serving anywhere in the Portland or Vancouver area. PLEASE NOTE: if you are a dog owner who expects me to stay at home with your dogs all day (i.e., not leave the house for more than a few hours), I will be charging an additional $50/day ON TOP of the rates indicated in Rover. I have no way of indicating this charge in the app, so we will have to figure out payment outside the app. Currently not dog-sitting in my own home, but provide in-home/overnight care for your pet. I am very good at keeping a punctual feeding schedule, keeping the house clean, leaving doors locked at night, etc. Please communicate to me your expectations for your home and I will ensure they are met!

About: I’m no animal expert, but I've had pets all my life, and put a lot of heart & effort into taking care of someone's pet just like I would my own any day! I work 4 hours in the evening, Mon-Thurs every week, but other than that, I have a lot of free time to take care of a family’s pet, & make sure their needs are met! I don’t have my dog with me anymore because my family moved to Idaho, but I have a dog with my dad; a black lab, Captain Jack (but we call him Cap for short) who I absolutely adore, and took care of when we were living together. Lots of walks, playtime, belly rubs, booty scratches, love & kisses, grooming, necessary discipline, feeding, etc. I also had my cat, Maybelle, at my mother's who is still with her because she kind of became the family cat. But I took care of her as she was originally my cat. I have had dogs & cats growing up so definitely familiar with both! For other people's pets, your pets, your rules. Your house, your rules. Anything you need me to do for your pet, I can do. If I haven't done something before, I will happily learn from you & do as you tell me.

About: Hi! I’m Cristie, a lifelong dog lover who genuinely believes dogs make just about everything better. I’m taking some time away from the corporate world and thought, what better way to spend part of my day than getting outside and hanging out with sweet dogs? I’d love to help busy pet parents by giving their pups the exercise, attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. I’m dependable, responsible, active, and very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk and lots of sniffing adventures or prefers a slower stroll with plenty of encouragement and belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own two, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates along the way. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3 pm and would love to shower your dog(s) with affection and a great outdoor adventure walk! Having 2 dogs myself, safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, including any preferences around walking, feeding, treats, medications, other dogs, or areas to avoid. When caring for a pet in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’m attentive about securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed, and watching their behavior and surroundings while we’re out. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also taken care of friends, and family pets as well. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. Now I’m dedicating my time to help others care for their pet family members. I love animals and anyone who knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!

About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have basic knowledge of training dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how important it is for dogs to have mental stimulation and no dog is too big or small. I work full time, but have lots of weekend availability that I'd love to spend with your pet! I do volunteering on the weekend, but can definitely do work arounds to make sure your loved one is cared for. I understand how sacred fur babies are to us and putting trust in a stranger can be scary. Its very important to me for dogs wear collars when going outside, even if just the back yard. I love routines will follow your pets normal routine in their environment. I will respect your home and property, strictly following any instructions provided.
