Dog Walking in Forest Park, Portland, OR

“I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for taking such wonderful care of Trunks for us. Their attention to detail and the love and patience they showed made all the difference. It gave me peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking care of our little fella!”

“Midory was an excellent dog walker for my dog Bean. She responded to all requests. She always took several pictures of him to send to me during his walks. Highly recommend!”

“Lillian was a great companion to both our pets while we were away for the holiday. We were so happy to connect with someone willing to drive our dog to an area of the neighborhood with flatter streets. I'm sure he was happy too! Would definitely recommend.”

“Taylor and Livy are the best! I had such a peace of mind knowing they were checking on my pups during the day. The dogs were so tired out after the walks! Thanks so much!”

“Alissa is awesome! She’s always great about our last minute requests for a walk, and takes Sampson to run and play at the park which he absolutely loves. I always appreciate the cute photos she takes as well!”

About: I'd love to spend time with your pets and give them the same care I give mine! I know being away from your pets, especially long term, can be stressful--I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to make the time spent away from your cat as easy as possible, including sending pictures whenever you want! I've lived with and taken care of cats since the age of two and have been volunteering at animal shelters since the age of twelve; I've spent time playing with and socializing shelter cats and walking shelter dogs. I've also been a house sitter for families with both cats and dogs since the age of 16. I just graduated college and will have ample time to take care of your pets and all their needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate any time-specific care needs. I recognize that all pets need to be cared for in different ways and am dedicated to making sure that I continue to care for your pets in the way you do to ensure your furry family members undergo as little change as possible!

About: Thanks to my destiny of being the cool auntie, I’ve got over 5 years of experience with petsitting and boarding! Growing up, dogs and cats surrounded me, and it’s only fitting they do the same in adulthood. Your fur babies will get all the love from me! I work for myself so my daily and weekly schedules are very flexible! My days start around 7am and go until 10-11pm, and I fill them with walks, errands, and leisure time at home. Summer/fall weekends are more busy for me (wedding/photography industry!), but I can still make time for AM/PM drop in visits. :) I have a spacious 1-bed apartment in a pet-friendly complex/community, located near the waterfront and nearby parks. In client homes I stay respectful of the space and can utilize any enrichments or crates if necessary.

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat and dog mom, and someone who believes every pet deserves kindness, comfort, and connection. I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Today, I share mine with Kevin (my tabby) and MJ (my miniature schnauzer mix), and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. Whether your pet is a ball of energy or a couch potato, I’m just happy to provide a safe, comforting presence. I also have an eye for detail and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. From feeding and medications to playtime and routines, you can count on me to follow instructions closely and communicate clearly, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day better, and I’d love the chance to help make your pet’s day a little brighter, too. I’m currently free on weekdays and am available morning, noon, and evening for drop-ins, walks, or daycare. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in my home and in yours, and I adjust my approach based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and make sure they have quiet, cozy spots to unwind, especially if they need time to adjust or prefer alone time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to any instructions you provide. I know how important it is for animals to feel secure, so I make sure to keep things consistent and calm. In either setting, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals.

About: We love dogs - all sizes, shapes, and personalities. We grew up with dogs and can't imagine life without them. Sadly, we just lost our precious doodle to cancer and miss having a furbaby around. I have experience training basic commands and Ron can give injections if needed. He works from home full time and we have a large, fenced yard. I work full time Monday through Friday, but my husband Ron works from home and would love to get a break from his computer to play and snuggle. I get home most days around 4:45pm and can go for walks. We have a large, fenced yard for your pup to run and play. We also have a small covered dog run accessible by a dog door for when your furbaby needs a quick potty break.

“Celina does a wonderful job caring about what the dogs need while ensuring that they are safe and happy. She is thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable, and wonderful with our dogs. They are both very comfortable with her even though they are working through some anxiety. Celina does a great job communicating about what happened on their walks and working out the details of the bookings. I couldn't be happier with the service she provides.”

About: I have grown up always having a pet in the house, now that I’m in college I miss having that responsibility and company. Back home I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a lizard. When family friends and relatives are looking for a sitter they always come to me. Not only have I watched and cared for an extensive amount of animals, I also have experience fostering and working at a shelter where I was responsible for walking and cleaning up after the dogs. I am a recent graduate of the University of Oregon and am now living in Portland. I am offically working full time but my schedule varies leaving my Tuesday and Thursday mornings free. Additionally, I get out prior to 3 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Since I work during the week, I can make sure I am fully tentative during weekends! I am currently living with my sisters family so am primarily only available for walks and house sitting since they have a dog of their own.

“Dana is a huge help with our 9 yo Aussie. She communicates well and is trustworthy giving our pup the love!”

About: I grew up bringing cats home, and have always been concerned with the humane treatment of animals. I am a conscientious animal lover who knows that dogs need to explore and sniff outside to calm themselves and to feed their interests. Most cats like to get repeatedly "combed" with damp hands to remove dust and loose fur. I listen to a dog to find what pace and range they are comfortable with, and let them go with their curiosity. Once a pet knows me, they are often overwhelmed with excitement to go out for their personal adventure; then I know that my work is for good - they are having fun and experiencing nature. The goal is to make your pet's life more fulfilled, calm and happy. Cheryl I work part-time, four hour shifts. When I stay with a pet I adjust my work schedule so that I work few shifts and enjoy my time with the pet. I strive to be away no longer than 5.5 hours at a time. I no longer bring new pets into my home because I had one elder dog staying who was incontinent and it was a problem with wall to wall carpeting...

About: I have two cats, and have had dogs before. Previously I’ve worked and volunteered at various animal shelters and clinics. I have had experience with all different species and breeds. I am working part time right now so I’m not available between 4-8 on weekdays or in the mornings on Saturday (I’m free all day Sundays). I can take pups on long or short walks/hikes. If I’m housesitting just let me know what your house rules and schedule looks like so I can best take care of them.

“Ricki and Tori are amazing! Would highly recommend! Very professional and kind!”

About: I have several years of experience with pet sitting and over a year's experience working in a veterinary clinic. I am a college student and aspiring veterinarian who has experience working with cats and dogs of all kinds. I am currently working part time at a veterinary clinic, so I am mostly available evenings on Mondays and Fridays, anytime Tuesdays through Thursdays, and some weekends. Please don't hesitate to reach out to see if my availability works for you! I cannot currently offer boarding, but I am more than happy to come to your home to take care of your pet, take them on walks, or to a park when your schedule gets too busy!
