“Lauren has been a blessing! My dog is older and she takes her time with him out on his walks (he sometimes doesn't walk so well). She is considerate, professional, and I just love her!!”
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in my house, so I know the kind of care dogs need. Because I’ve grown up with them, I love dogs and am eager to cater to your dog’s individual needs on walks and during visits. I work from home, so I have day time availability to check in/walk your dog while you’re at work. When I am available, I will spoil your dog and/or cat with the attention and affection they deserve. I currently have availability throughout the entire day as I work from home, so I am happy to accommodate to specific walk and/or visit times during the week. Safety is always the utmost priority when taking care of pets, especially other people’s. I know how precious your pets are to you, as I myself have a dog that I adore. Prior to any walks or visits, I make sure to check in with the owner to discuss any restrictions/instructions regarding the care of your pet. I also like to clarify if there are certain areas to go to/avoid on walks, as well as the potential for any aggression towards other animals or people so we can avoid dangerous situations.
“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.
“Callie is amazing! Always on time, calls ahead with any concerns about whether and/or need to change schedules. Very flexible and pleasant. Most importantly Izzy loves her! Izzy runs down the steps to meet her, and always comes back with a smile on her face. I am so happy Callie is able to provide dog walking services for Izzy!”
“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”

I also have experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of safety and surroundings during walks.

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”
“Cassandra was so great! We had her walk our high energy boxer while on vacation and it was a gift knowing that he was getting the workout he needs while we were away. I’d love to use her again in the future!”

Ashton is absolutely wonderful! She is definitely a dog person - seen by all of the pictures she sends and the great summary of how things went. My dog Mabel is high energy and working on training - Ashton is knowledgeable about keeping things consistent for Mabel and asked great questions to make sure she had all information to care for Mabel. Will definitely continue to book!
Grace was great with our little boy! Very responsive & detailed in her walks with Berni. He seemed to enjoy his walks very much, & he was clearly cared for. We would book Grace again, & recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She was even flexible when our plans changed last minute, & we are thankful for that.
Hannah is great!! My dog is always excited to see her and I love coming home knowing that he’s happy, exercised and well cared for while I’m at work. She always communicates promptly and sends me cute photos of him which makes my work day much brighter. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
