Dog Walking in Government Island, Portland, OR

About: I have spent lots of time taking care of and being with dogs since having my own dog in 3rd grade, as well as countless cats my family had grownup. I have had my own dog Bruce for the last 3 and a half years and am thrilled to use my extra time helping watch dogs who need it. I have been pet sitting for family and friends over the last few years and would love the chance to take care of your furry family. I work in the public school system, so I have lots of availability over the Summer. Let me know what you need and we can find something that works! I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to play and behind my yard is a large park in which to walk and play. I love going for walks, playing fetch, taking jogs together, and giving lots of pets! My schedule is variable, but currently have lots of time as I work as an educator and am off for the summer! Please share times that are best for you and we can make it work. I have a large, fully fenced, back yard which borders a park. My own doggo loves to play outside, lay in the sun, chase the squirrels on the fence, and talk with dogs that walk through the park.

“Great service, arrived between the hours I wanted & I am sure Nova loved her walk! Thank you Jade! (:”

About: Hi, I’m Bailey — your pet’s new favorite person! 🐾 With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and an array of other animals, I bring a calm, loving presence and professional attention to every visit. I raised two puppies of my own, so I’m completely comfortable with playful energy, training basics, and all the puppy quirks that come with them. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animal species - so whether your pet has paws, fins, hooves, or feathers, I’ve got you covered! Whether it’s a high‑energy walk, a gentle check‑in with a shy senior, or extra cuddles for your kitten, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s unique personality and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. I’ll send regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your pets are safe, loved, and happy. Animals are family—and that’s exactly how I treat them. Let’s connect and give your pets the best care they deserve! I work fully remote, from home and have quite a bit of free time to spend with animals in my care! I am available last-minute if needed and don’t have time restrictions. I have two friendly dogs that love to play if you’d like your fur baby to socialize and get some quality play in. I don’t mind helping out with crate training and potty training if needed as well, as I have done both with not only my own dogs but others as well. I know dog/cat first aid and CPR as well.

“Jiwan is great. She followed all instructions perfectly and was able to handle my old dog with special needs with no problems. She took great pictures and was very communicative. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“Skylar continues to impress me after having used her services for 3 weeks now! She has a genuine concern and care for Meea and that’s evident in all the communications and photos Skylar sends me! I will definitely continue to use Skylar’s services and am so thrilled we found her!”

“Luis was a such a sensational find for us! My wife and I took a vacation and while my mom was able to watch our home, she was not able to walk our dog Kudos. Enter Luis. We signed up for 2 walks per day. He is incredibly responsible, kind, great with dogs, and very responsive to messages. He sent some great pictures of Kudos each day, as well. I highly recommend Luis to anyone considering someone to walk their dogs.”

“Anna has taken great care of my adolescent dog. Penny is still figuring out the transition from puppy to dog and can still be pretty nervous at times, but Anna has taken great care of her whether it is walks or play in the dog park or at home. I definitely recommend Anna! Penny is an angel too 🐶”

About: I’ve had all types of animals for most of my life. I currently have three dogs, two cats and two fish tanks between my partner and I. I love animals and have always had a special sense with them. My schedule is kind of odd. I work on Monday afternoons and I am a mobile bartender and my schedule for that is always changing. I am a great communicator though! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are extremely socialized. I have worked hard to keep them friendly and happy fur babies.i am competent and can keep multiple dogs under control on the leash or safely pass other dogs without reaction. I also have references if requested. I love everyone’s animal with the respect that they deserve.

“Monica was wonderfully caring with Angel who is just a pup. She had recommendations on switching to a harness which is a very good idea for small dogs. This was just a short stint but would definitely hire again in the future. Thanks”

Stan H.

“Joye is super awesome! She’s very kind to my pup, and I enjoyed having her care for him. I never had to worry. She’s punctual and has great communication. Thank you Joye!!! Champ can’t wait for you to walk him again. :)))”

“Bethany is consistently the most reliable and professional care taker of our dogs that we’ve had. Our girls can be a handful, but Bethany is loving and fun and they absolutely adore her. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for her! 5 PAW 🐾 service!”

About: I have been a dog owner for 55 years! :) I live down the street from a big park and trails. I have an 8 year old lab who is loving, sweet and enjoys playing with other dogs. My kids are almost grown, so this single mom has a lot of time on her hands to give to your fur baby. I work full-time M-F until 4pm. My evenings and weekends are free. I am available during most holidays. I’m an early riser and love early morning walks. I have a huge yard! My home is a dog-friendly home, so expect cuddling on the couch. Dogs are allowed to roam freely in my home.

About: I've taken care of animals professionally and personally since I was a kid. Starting with cats, then getting dogs and learning to train them. In high school I started getting into bigger and smaller pets - rats and then horses. I even have experience with caring for fish. If you've got it, I can learn how to care for it just like you would! I work at a vet ER, so I can do late night check ins for the first half of the week or almost anytime on my weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). How you care for your pet is how I will care for your pet. Tell me all the nitty gritty details and I'll do everything I can to go above and beyond to make sure your animals get only the best.

About: Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, I provide personalized care, fun playtime, and plenty of belly rubs for your furry family member. With a calm presence, flexible availability, and a true love for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. Walks, cuddles, feeding, meds; I’ve got it covered! It’s just me and my two teenagers in the house - they are 16 and 18 and both have their own cars so I rarely see them! They’ve grown up around having a dog, and continually pressure me to have another one 😵‍💫 We had a bully breed mix, Celine Dion who sadly passed from old age in 2019. She had diabetes towards the end of her life, so I’m familiar with giving medication/shots if necessary. Since then we’ve regularly looked after our friends’ dogs, as you can see from the photos. We fostered Simba in 2024, we had him for 10 months until he was adopted. Because of having family in England, I want to be able to travel there frequently so am not ready to have a permanent dog again yet. Being a dog sitter fills a need for me! I work from home so have flexibility in my routine and am always available for my visitors’ needs. I like to take a morning walk, and should probably take an evening one too. I’m not away from home often. I have a fully fenced yard and my neighborhood has beautiful walking trails, that I use whether I am walking a dog, or just walking alone. I’ve fostered rescue dogs and have experience of high anxiety dogs. I’m 6 feet tall and strong, and my last foster was great with people but not so much with other dogs we met on our walks, so I’m used to avoiding them, if necessary! I am happy to send photos to you whilst your dog is in my care, and will communicate with you as frequently as you would like.

“Kacey is great, she does such a great job caring for my dog. When Tana might have been stung by a bee she contacted Rover’s Vet, and monitored her just to make sure there would be no reaction. Highly recommend!”

“Cassie is amazing. She knows how to work with high energy dogs and has so much patience. You can tell that she truly loves being around and working with dogs. Cassie is also reliable and keeps in good contact via text.”

“Brigit was great! She came right on time on short notice and took Hero on a great walk. We’re looking forward to her watching him when we go away next week.”

Nicole & Andrew C.

“Daisy is amazing. She has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure Miccah has wonderful walks each week. She's so nice and caring and responsible. I always get updates and I can tell she really cares about Miccah's well being. I can't recommend her enough! ”

About: From having family dogs since I was a kid, to being hired as a reccurring sitter and walker for years for many clients/friends, and now owning 2 dogs of my own, I’m constantly with a furry companion and I wouldn’t want to live any other way. I love being outside, especially with my pups, so if your dog needs to get out and roam on some adventures I’m always up for a walk or some fetch, rain (especially rain), or shine. I’m also a big fan of lap dogs no matter what shape or size so if your pooch is a bit of a home body, and just needs some belly rubs or someone to sit with and talk their ear off, I’m your guy. I work part time during the week, most often Tuesday-Thursday starting at 9 am. I can flex my schedule to meet your schedule if you need an early morning walk or pop in as well as afternoons and evenings Having 2 dogs ourselves, my wife and I are very aware of things like doors being left open, or food being reached. We are hyper vigilant when it comes to our dogs safety as well as others. We always leash our dogs!

About: Having pets ever since I could remember I always found joy in taking care of fur babies. Experiencing all sizes, energies and ages, I’m more than happy to support and assist in anyway I can! My days are flexible after starting July 18, 2025. As I prepare for my masters program in September I use my free time to incorporate pet care. In a clients home I am very sensitive and careful about my environment. Making sure that everyone and everything is safe and cared for. And importantly working with others in effective communication.
