Annika is a fantastic dog walker! professional, friendly, courteous, and flexible with schedule changes. I'm just jealous that my dog's get more excited for walks with Annika than they do for me 🤣 😂

About: Many families over the years have gained strong relationships with me. I even babysit for families I pet sit for. I walk many dogs throughout the week, and dog parks are not far from my area. I am currently working Part-Time and completing two summer classes online for college. However, my schedule is very open with minimal vacations planned this summer! My family has recently adopted a new boxer puppy! He is 10 months old and in a very loving home! In my clients home, I will always be respectful to their space.

About: I have taken care of, and been around dogs, pretty much my whole life. As an adult I have experience with leash/dog reactive dogs, super high energy puppies, done overnights for dogs with separation anxiety. I also have experience training my own dogs and really enjoy it. I am stay at home mom with both my kids in school so I have free time especially in the mornings after school drop off. I am very careful with other people's property. There should be no signs that I've in your home except for well loved, exercised and happy pets.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

About: I've always loved dogs of all sizes and I've been lucky enough to grow up around them. For fifteen years, I have walked, cared for, fed, trained and loved on as many dogs as I could. Whether they're cuddly or prefer their own space, want to play fetch for hours, or simply want a sniff filled walk in the park, I've enjoyed every moment of fur filled love and play. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from Saint Bernards and German Shepherds all the way to Pomeranians, Jack Russel Terriers, and all sizes in between. I have lots of experience with walking large and small dogs, whether they be amazing on a leash or like to pull you around at full strength and speed. I also have lots of experience reading canine body language, working with territorial or dog selective pups, even with anxious or high energy pups. I have a very flexible schedule and often I am available on short notice for walks, drop-ins, or short (1-2 nights) overnight stays. Whether your pup just needs a walk while you're at work or they need a friend for a few hours to play and feed them, I will always do my best to be available. I currently only do pet sitting in your pup's home environment, however I find this helps make all dogs much more comfortable when their favorite humans aren't around. I do have a large and very friendly dog of my own, Harley, who would happily join for a playdate if your pup would like a new friend. I will always do my best to take care of your pup just like you do and make them feel safe, loved, and happy.

Elizabeth took her time introducing herself to my dog who was a little nervous at first but she won her over in minutes and off they happily went on their walk. My pup came back happy and sufficiently tuckered out. :) Elizabeth gave lots of details about how the walk went and did great with dog handling. I’ll definitely call on her again!

About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

About: Have always loved animals since I was aware they existed. I was the designated caregiver to the family animals growing up and was the go-to for pet sitting with neighbors and friends. I have an aptitude for communicating and caring for animals. I have an ecology degree, and I used to work for the Dallas Zoo. I have experience will all kinds of exotic animals as well. I had some interesting pets growing up including chickens, a pet pig, and a sugar glider. I currently have a dog-Indiana and 2 cats- Muir and Jonesy. My own dog, Indiana, knows 25+ commands and tricks. I love meeting new animals, showering them with love. I am accustomed to working with more challenging animals that need more patience and care. I am available Mondays-Fridays. Available most Saturdays & Sundays depending on calendar dates. Okay with working nights and longer durations. Please let me know as soon as possible for scheduling changes. I am good listener and communicator. I will take in to account the specific needs of your animal with care and diligence. Please feel free to fully explain your needs with me.

About: I was born into a family of German Shepherd lovers, and grew up primarily taking care of our German Shepherds until about 10 years old when we also adopted cats and labradors. Once I graduated college, I adopted an 8 week old Alaskan malamute, who I cared for his entire 11 years of life until he passed just recently this past January. I am not ready to adopt again, but am missing the presence of dogs in my life and looking to fill that space by helping friends, family, neighbors and members of the community with their dog care needs. I am experienced with puppies, high maintenance animals, and especially with large breeds (my boy was 150lbs at a healthy weight and required at least 5 miles of exercise a day). I am kind, caring, uniquely experienced, energetic and reliable. I currently am only working/unavailable late Saturday and Sunday nights, and am extremely active during the week. I have plenty of free time in general. I am respectful to how you’d like your dog to be taken care of in your home and out and about, and also have my own set of everything (leashes, crate, toys, beds, etc) if need be.

Had such a great experience with Young! He took direction very well and was communicative! It was our first time working with Young and he was so kind enough to come by a few days in advance to meet Yogi. He understood our goal on wanting to continue leash training with Yogi and was very attentive to that! I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing Dissaya and Young’s services again!

About: I love animals and animals love me, so I’m here to meet as many of them as possible and build lasting friendships. 🥰 A true PNW girl at heart, and proud Oregonian - I’m always excited to get out and enjoy the fresh air, rain or shine! 🌲🌊 I live near the Rose Quarter, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, and a whole lotta love to give all the babies. When I’m not busy loving on Rover clients or my own cool cat, Anubis, I run around on a farm with two 120lb Catahoula Leopard/American Bulldogs! 🐕🚜👩‍🌾 Please reach out for any and all requests - my goal is to be of service and to help you provide the best care for your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you soon! 💕 P.S.: I have a talent for taking truly great photos. 🤩 I have a mostly open schedule and I’m currently looking to meet & spend time with all the fur babies! I would love to be part of your family’s steady routine in helping to care for your loved ones on a regular basis, and I’m open to consistent recurring visits, day & night sitting, occasional hangouts, or even urgent/short notice drop-in appointments. I will always tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs; their safety, well-being and happiness are my top priority, and as a pet parent myself, I am devoted to providing the highest quality care for your family. I sincerely value the trust placed in me with your babies!

About: Growing up I always had animals, especially dogs and cats! I absolutely adored each and every one. I love animals of all sizes, and treat mine like my children. I will give your baby all the attention, snuggles, and love they want. I have many years of experience in caring for dogs and cats, and would love to spoil and care for yours just as I do mine! :) I work through out the week so during that time I have limited availability but I am flexible for drop-in’s most evenings and early mornings. I am completely available Friday through Sunday. I will keep a close eye on your baby and make sure to the best of my ability they’re safe at all times! If you have a certain schedule or routine for your babe I am happy to keep them on that as well. For boarding, I don’t have a yard at my apartment but have easy access to trails/parks for walks and frequent potty breaks!

Alison was awesome with our dogs and she really connects with the animals. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend this team. They are great. I really felt connected with them and she went beyond what was asked of her. I would recommend them with any animal and you will not be disappointed.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Forest Park dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Forest Park.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
