Dog Walking Hall

About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business. My schedule is quite flexible! Being retired definitely opens up my availability, and I aim to be as accommodating and helpful as possible to meet your pet's needs. Safety and privacy are important priorities, and I am always respectful of both. I have years of experience accessing clients' homes and caring for their pets - more than 250 pets over the years - without any problems. I am professional and experienced, with a proven record.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life — my mom has always had dogs and my dad has always had cats, so I’ve learned how to care for and connect with all kinds of pets from a young age. Right now, I have a playful kitten of my own, and my mom has two dogs that I help care for whenever I visit. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to each pet’s unique routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for exactly how their owner would want. You can always count on me for reliable care, consistent updates, and genuine love for every furry friend I look after. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life — I have a kitten at home and spend time with my mom’s dogs regularly, so feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles are built into my routine. My work schedule is flexible enough to allow plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Whether it’s morning visits or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and bedtime — so everything feels familiar. I take extra care to keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always communicate with owners so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I take pride in following every detail of your pet’s care instructions — from feeding schedules to favorite walks and play routines. In your home, I make sure everything stays tidy and that your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I always provide updates and communication so you know your pets are happy, healthy, and cared for exactly how you’d want.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life, and I personally have owned a dog since the age of 8. I have also happily taken care of friends animals since the age of 10, and dog sat for for others since the age of 15. I’m currently a full time student who is working part time, so late afternoon and evenings are the best time for me to give attention to the dogs:) I am happy to provide some extra love and attention to animals based on their needs. Whether that be playing outside, going for a walk, or some good belly rubs.

About: I've been caring for dogs for 10 years, from family pets to neighbors' and friends' dogs. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, and I love long walks, playtime, and making sure every pet feels safe and happy. As the co-owner of a local window washing business, I know how important it is to show up on time and treat your home with respect. I also work in senior care, so I'm patient, attentive, and used to looking after others with real care. I'll send photo updates during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated like family! My schedule varies with my jobs and classes, but it's flexible. I'll always confirm availability ahead of time and work around your plans for walks, visits, or overnights. Your pet's safety comes first. I keep dogs leashed, double-check doors and gates, and follow your routine exactly. I'll treat your home with respect and send photo updates.

About: I have 3 dogs ranging from 1-10 1/2 years of age. We have done the puppy stage three times so I’m used to that and willing to help. I know how stressful it can be if you need to go out of town and still have a puppy at home that needs a little more attention, let me help you with this! I’m not afraid of any dogs I just need to meet them first before agreeing to a job just so that we know it’ll be a good fit. I’m currently working full time 12 hr days. So I will not schedule myself when I’m working unless of course this works for you. I’m just looking to see if I can help some people while they travel or need someone to come and check on their pets while they are away. I currently live on 2.5 acres so having dogs come to my house will not be a good fit. We have 3 dogs and sometimes sit for family and friends and their dogs come over and we closely watch them while outside so they don’t venture off into the woods. Right now I’m just looking to see if I can help with checking in on pets or walking them or even possibly house sitting if need be. I know how important routine and familiarity is important so I would like to meet the pets with the owners before agreeing to a job and this way we can make sure the pets are comfortable with me and also we can go over dos and don’ts with your pets.

About: Live in a coded community? For reasons listed below, I NO LONGER provide animal care services to those living in an apartment complex requiring door codes for entry. ***PLEASE NOTE***, do to a recent experience that left me in utter shock with a pet parent, a parent who posed a security threat to not only her own animals, also my business as an independent pet sitter with her level of disorganization (not being able to provide working access codes before the visit began), financial hardship (pressuring me fo reduce care costs for several bookings in a row), harassment and dishonesty, I have decided I am choosing to no longer provide services to those living in an apartment that requires codes for entry. This pet parent had not properly provided access codes for the stay, began to harass me over her mistake, this overall, severely impacted how access and care for her pets could be handled which makes me too worried I may be put in this situation again by another pet parent, as a result of this pet parents disorginization by not being able to provide working codes, I was placed in an emergency situation in caring for the pets, an emergency situation that took 2 extra days of my time to help her out with with the animals, while I am happy to try and problem solve on the spot, jump through any necessary hoops to help resolve issues, due to the nature of my business, as an independent animal sitter, I would simply prefer to avoid that scenario and specifically type of access issue to pets altogether, unfortunately, my confidence in accepting bookings from those choosing to live in coded apartments depending on technology to enter, entirely depends on the actual owner providing working codes before a visit begins, it is just too much of a case by case basis, leaving me worried the pet parents will not be able to deliver proper access codes. As much as it pains me to deny services or care to anyone with pets, I just do not want to have pets in a situation where I am not provided working access codes, causing me to not be able to reach the pets. Regardless if you promise the codes you or your office will give me, will work, the owner will have to eat the cost of the locksmith when the owner the person distributing the non-working codes. Non working codes requiring a locksmith, will require additional time as they try and resolve the coded issue. It is unfortunate one bad experience with a disorganized/dishonest pet parent has caused me to deny services to others in this style of, 'living situation', though I do feel confident I will be matched to much more compatible, more organized pet parents who can properly provided a method to access the pets, (key, working codes, fob, link), and provide a safe and secure environment to their pets, again, with *working access codes* to ensure that my care can reach and be provided to the pets. My success relies on the orginization of your 'logistics'. A front door key to a house has worked well for me in all my life. Non working codes to a multi coded door entry system, deny entry to any person trying to access the unit. Though my intentions are set to deliver care to your pets, I cannot risk any failure of technology to be the reason I cannot deliver to your pets. I am a pet sitter who relies on proper access methods being provided by the pet owner, when the pet owner fails to provide proper access methods, I cannot deliver without a locksmith. For that reason, I choose to not accept coded apartment clients. Post bad experience, I now have a business phone to allow me better access to coded communities, though I am too worried I will be provided incorrect codes when more than 2 codes are necessary for entry, for this reason, I am declining any services to those who live inside of a surveillance complex requiring codes to access the "home".... Thank you to all my highly organized, very honest, very respectable, high clientele that I do still have, you all and your pets, are why I am still thoroughly fulfilled in providing care. You are the ones who make it very worth it.

Animal welfare is my top priority as I am an long-standing animal rights activist and 8+ year vegan /12+year vegetarian. Compassionate, quality and safe animal care is my number one goal every single day. In 2015 I rescued my girl Diva From the Oregon Humane Society's Second Chance program, my now Feline companion had been returned to the shelters a whopping 5 times for behavioral trait "issues". When I met this girl, I could not believe how sweet she was and was shocked to hear of her traumatic past. Having raised many cats over the years I felt in my heart she would be a good fit regardless of her adoption/return story. After spending just 10 minutes with her in the bonding room, I decided to bring her home and give her a permanent place of comfort and peace. She has been the absolute best companion and furry friend to have around. After settling down from her traumatic history, she came out of her shell and became the most playful, cuddly curious little protector. Post-Shelter, Diva Leads a happy life running in the fenced yard with our chickens, crows and blue birds. Our newest addition to the fur clan includes Deja Vu a little kitten rescue from the Humane society. She has been a wonderful addition to our menagerie, spending most of her time figuring things out at as a growing kitten, she truly couldn't be any more compatible with our elder, Diva. Please reach out for any questions. I cannot wait to meet your fur friend/s/family! I am currently a student and active volunteer, I am looking to add work into my schedule where ever possible. I am very flexible and love to be up in the early morning. I have a fenced yard large enough for dogs to run around and play in, a spacious home that is stress free. Thank you for considering me as your compassionate pet sitter!

Safety and animal welfare are my #1 top priority, animals are extremely intuitive and demanding individuals. With their strong personalities, and my long-standing experience in connecting and building individualized bonds with all animals, I'm firmly confident in my abilities to ensure a secure, safe, protected and loving environment for your pets, so that no part of their routine is disturbed while your away. All animals have distinctive memory, during my visits I positively verbally engage with the animals based to reinforce voice memory and to help them feel at ease, calm and recognized as the wonderful individuals they are.

About: I've had dogs all of my life, numerous breeds and energy levels. I've personally owned a Golden Retriever and now a Bernese Mountain Dog. I used to run dogs in college and I fell in love with dogs, so I thought why not get exercise with a furry friend by my side! I can work with various leashes/collars/harnesses, etc. I've trained dogs with basic commands and potty training. I would love for your dog to come meet us and our Bernese! I have a Bernese Mountain pup, so between working full time and raising kids, making sure my little not so little pup gets exercise and a lot of sniffing everyday is extremely important and has become a fixture in our schedule. Teddy is fully vaccinated and can provide proof, so no need to worry! I ran and walked dogs in college for 2 years and I loved it. I've had numerous dogs in my life time and I make sure the dog is comfortable and ready to enjoy the time with us! This stay be a dogs most enjoyable time of the day, so making it fun especially with our Berner while getting to the point is crucial. Whatever piece of equipment like leash, harness, collar or piece of walking equipment you prefer for your dog I will work with. Comfortability is huge for pups/dogs. Crate would be preferred if not potty trained. I can let pups out to pee during the night. We want your dogs stay to be the best and would be grateful for your trust in us!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 7 i’ve always babysat and watch dogs in my neighborhood . Since I was 7 year old only have college once a week 9 AM to 1 PM I have a lot of free time to play with with the pets and taking care of them. i’m always keeping an eye on the pets. I’m making sure that they are safe and environment that’s are in And nothing to harm them.

About: Very detailed with following the instructions of pet owners and giving attentive care to pets in a loving and nurturing environment with walking services and in home care. I’ve raised 3 cats over 18 years, but they have all passed on. I’ve also provided dog care to family and friends over the past 10 years. I have integrated animal care into my standard routine on an as need basis, sometimes more heavily than other times, but it all works out in the end. I give them plenty of room to play and exercise and feed them 1-2 times a day. With dog’s I walk them every 2-4 hours and provide them with a fenced back yard with proper supervision. I would never leave them alone in the back yard unattended.

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

“Kris was outstanding. Responsive, dependable, trustworthy with the pups. He sent regular updates and photos. Highly recommended!”

“My dog is a little timid with new people, but Renata takes such good care of him! She’s patient and kind and I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with him. She’s reliable and great with communication. Highly recommend her, especially for nervous/shy puppers. 🩵”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.
