Dog Walking in Gresham

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog walker! My journey began 19 years ago as a volunteer walker at the local humane society. Since then, I've worked in a variety of rescues, kennels and doggy daycares, looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and energy levels. As an owner of a special-needs dog myself, I specialize in shy, fearful or reactive dogs and practice fear-free, positive reinforcement training techniques. If your pup has behavioral issues, send me a message to set up a free 30 minute meet-and-greet to address their special needs! I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your beloved pets. Rest assured, I prioritize the physical and emotional wellness of your furry family member above all else. I am currently working as a freelance artist, which allows flexibility in my schedule. I am available on an as needed basis, 7 days a week. I'm dedicated to providing a happy, comforting and enriching experience for your pets while you are away. I'll ensure that the environment is secure and free from hazards, and conductive to the health of your pets. Additionally, I prioritize building a strong bond of trust with owners through clear communication and consistency. By maintaining a calm and loving atmosphere, I aim to minimize stress for your pets and create a sense of security so they can feel happy and at ease while you are away.

“Thanks very much, Dillon, for being so prompt and taking great care of my big furry friend. Your enjoyment of dogs shows & is much appreciated.”

“Penny was wonderful with Leo. He was reluctant to go for a walk with a stranger, but she was patient with him and very reassuring. It didn’t take long for them to become buddies. I would definitely use her again.”

“My almost 2 yr old Labrador Sophie is very sweet but VERY people shy. It took her a few days to get used to Sierra but now she loves her walks with her and waits at the door for Sierra to show up. Sierra has been very kind and patient with my dog.”

“Audrey was great! She took great care of our dog and spent time working on training as well, we definitely recommend!”

“Savannah has been watching my cat when I travel for the last 3 years. Savannah is great with pets. She is timely. Spends time with the cat and checks in to make sure I have returned home on time.”

“Cecilia is awesome! She took care of my pup really well and consistently sent me updates.”

“Kayla is amazing! Our dog loves her and Kayla is reliable, punctual and sweet. We will definitely be having Kayla walk and care for our dog again!”

“Annalei is wonderful! So thoughtful and truly loves dogs 💜 so happy that my Ringo is in her hands.”

“A trustworthy dog walker with great communication. Will definitely be asking her to walk David again!”

“Kindal was so patient with our stubborn little hound and we couldn’t be more grateful to her! Our dog loves her.”

“Carrie is the best. After just a couple sessions, my dog is absolutely in love with her and wags uncontrollably when she comes to take her for a walk or play session. She's great with dogs, super flexible, and always friendly. Can't recommend her enough!”

“The purpose of this letter is to recommend my daughter, Heather for animal care-giver. She has not only a great interest in animals and working with them, but she also has many skills in that area that I feel will make her a valuable part of this organization. When I got my beagle puppy, Darwin, she volunteered to watch him for me when necessary. The results far exceeded my expectation. She is an extremely active sitter, teaching Darwin various commands that I have not dealt with, and reinforcing the ones I have: this has been a great help. This ability, plus the experience Heather has had with various types of animals, will make her, I believe, an effective care-giver.”

“I have known Annie for 20 years and having entrusted her with the care of my dog on numerous occasions, I can confidently attest to her unwavering dedication and love for animals. Annie goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of pets in her care, demonstrating a level of responsibility and compassion that is truly commendable. Her genuine affection for animals is evident in the way she interacts with them, creating a nurturing and positive environment. If you're seeking a trustworthy and caring individual to look after your pets, Annie is the perfect choice.”

About: Hello, my name is Helen but I go by Celeste! While I’ve been quite introverted ever since I was young, I have always felt like I could emotionally connect to animals and am my absolute happiest when I’m around them. I grew up with and took care of three variously-sized dogs throughout my life, one of which being both blind and partially deaf, as well as two cats. In addition, I have previously volunteered regularly at a local cat shelter for nearly two years. I currently do not have any animals of my own and miss mine back home very much, so I would be more than honored to give your pet the same love and care I would give my own while you’re away! I currently work Monday through Friday from 1:30pm-6:30pm, so outside of those times I have fairly open availability for walks and drop-ins! Mornings are my favorite time to be out and about, but I can be available throughout the day and evening if it fits in with my schedule. I am always willing to be flexible with availability though, so please still feel free to reach out! I am very attentive and take a lot of pride in my desire to do the best job I possibly can in whatever I do. Additionally, I do not have any personal or school-related distractions, so my attention will be fully devoted to your pet!

“Once again Sarah saves the day and loves my dog like he's her own!! Everyone needs a Sarah in their life!! I trust her like family (or maybe even more!). We love Sarah!!”

About: I’ve only ever walked my own dog but, I would love to get more experience with different breeds and have fun bonding and learning with them! I’m focused on creating good bonds with animals and recognizing there wants and needs! I’m currently working a full time job but I’m always free on weekends and 8-12 on weekdays!

“Andrew did a fabulous job with Cooper! He tired him out with a long walk every day and followed my exact instructions to a T! Super satisfied and will do future bookings”

“Kasey took care of our blind elderly dog with medical problems while we were on a trip, she made sure to give him his daily walk and lots of love. She also cared for my crested gecko and our pond of eight goldfish. She is very responsible, hard working and reliable and I would definitely trust her to care for our pets again.”

“Jessica is a loving and caring person. She would be an asset to anyone who would want to have her care for their pet. Jessica is dependable. Jessica takes instruction well and will do what the pet owner asks of her. Her friendly and fun personality makes people and pets alike love her. Kristi Till RN”
