“Mia is our go-to for dog walks, she's very reliable and Charlie has a great time with her! She's been walking Charlie during the day while I'm at work and it's been super helpful, I highly recommend her.”

“I really appreciated how easily and quickly communication went with Melissa. She helped out in a pinch, and went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend her moving forward”

“Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence. I really appreciate her professionalism, punctuality, and great communication too! You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!”

“Cooper is always so happy to see Bridgette. He gives a little squel when he sees her coming up the sidewalk. Then, as I close the door, I see him turn to her for a face to face hello and petting. He loves his walks, but he obviously enjoys his personal connection with Bridgette, too. Warms my heart every time!”

About: Welcome to Floppy Paws' Playground. Where your dog’s happiness comes first. With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I’ve created a safe, enriching environment where your pup can play, explore, and feel right at home. At Floppy Paws' Playground, dogs enjoy structured playtime with toys, ropes, and games of fetch, as well as plenty of outdoor time to run, sniff, and socialize. Whether your dog loves high energy activities or prefers a slower pace, I tailor each day to meet their individual needs. My commitment to care goes beyond play. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. I'm readily available throughout the day and evening for updates or questions, ensuring peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I look forward to welcoming your dog to Floppy Paws' Playground, where fun meets thoughtful, professional care. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine.

My schedule is flexible, so whether it's early morning feedings, midday play sessions, or evening check-ins, I’m always able to meet your pet's needs at any time. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining consistency with their established routines to ensure a smooth and stress free experience. I adhere to specific instructions for feeding, administering medications, and exercise, while also offering companionship and mental stimulation as needed. In addition to pet care, I take pride in maintaining a clean and tidy environment. This includes tasks such as cleaning litter boxes, ensuring pet areas are organized, and leaving the home in the same condition it was found. I understand the importance of clear communication, so I provide regular updates and can easily be reached for any questions or concerns throughout the duration of the pet care service.
About: I love spending time with family pets and providing companionship for them. When it comes to dog walking, I prioritize not only the physical exercise but also the emotional well-being of the dogs. I enjoy building a bond with them during our walks and ensuring they have a positive experience. I am available most weekends to overnight sitting and on weekdays 1-9 pm. I work from home so short house visits are possible throughout the week. Caring for pets in their home by following the instructions given by homeowner. Making sure to engage in playtime to keep them physically and mentally engaged.

About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember and have cared for countless pets over the years. I previously had a Shepherd/Akita mix and currently share my home with two very loved Shih-Tzus, ages 12 and 6, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and ages. I work from home, which means your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced backyard and a dog door for pups who enjoy having easy access to the outdoors. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family. I’m attentive, dependable and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. And, of course, belly rubs are my love language. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals and plenty of attention. Your pup won’t be spending long stretches of the day alone—I genuinely enjoy having some four-legged company while I work! I have a fully fenced backyard, a dog door for easy outdoor access, and two friendly Shih Tzus who are used to sharing their home. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and will make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to relax. Since I’m home throughout the day, there’s plenty of supervision, attention and, naturally, belly rubs.
“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”

About: I have years of professional petsitting experience outside of Rover. I'm an attentive, calm presence for your dog when you're away. My background includes volunteering at the humane society and fostering dogs, cats, and small animals, plus growing up with dogs myself — so I'm comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I have specific experience with: Senior dogs Reactive and anxious dogs on walks Puppies Administering medications You can count on me to treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want for my own — tidy, responsible, and mindful of your home while you're gone.

I have experience giving medications, so pets with health needs are in safe hands, and I keep things calm and predictable for anxious or reactive dogs and cats. Your home stays secure and tidy while you're away. I'll check in with updates during my visits, so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: We love all animals and appreciate their intelligence and respect their feelings. We have had dogs and/or cats always. We have also had goats, pot bellied pigs, chickens, miniature donkeys and fish. We love spending time with animals and attending to their needs. Walks at parks and in nature or around the neighborhood are a regular part of our day. We are retired and spend a lot of our time traveling in Southern California and Mexico. We provide a safe calm environment in your home and keep your pets' normal routines. We will be bringing our dog with us and she is well adjusted to changing environments and meeting new animal friends. Housesitting is part of our travel strategy and we have received many positive reviews over the past few years. I also have done some dog training and animals are comfortable around us. We are retired and take several walks a day. Our schedule is very flexible. We like to be able to take your dogs in the car for walking adventures if they are comfortable with that. We give your pets lots of snuggles. We aim to follow and maintain the normal, expected routines of the pets we care for. We give them lots of attention and send pics to their owners.
“Nadine was super responsive and flexible when I needed last minute help with walking my dog. Nadine was great at communicating before and during the walk if there were any questions and being patient with my stubborn boy. Highly recommend!”

“Megan is always willing to help, especially with my last minute needs, and Ollie absolutely ADORES her. They always go for lengthy walks that tires him out. I appreciate you so much, Megan! Would definitely recommend!”


About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. My life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own pet services business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a sighthound, small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining kind, calm and confident when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the East/SE Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates in our one level, ranch style home, and dog run fencing in our large, fenced backyard. Open to small to small/medium dogs for boarding and daycare.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Happy Valley is $20

Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence.

You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!

Aislynn was such an awesome walker and would highly recommend her! She took such great care of our dog and cat, and we would book her again in a heartbeat. We were in constant communication and the pictures we got every day were great. Thelma and Bourbon would love to see you again!

I’m so glad I found Angela to help walk my very particular little cattle dog/chihuahua mix. He was getting too overstimulated at daycare and this has been a great switch. Angela is super communicative, sends great updates and pictures, and always makes sure Alfie has a fresh bowl of water and has settled down comfortably before she leaves. 🙂

Erin is simply the best! They are friendly, reliable, cool, and my dog and cat adore them!! I’m so grateful to have Erin on my team. It’s hard living in a city with no family nearby, and Erin makes life feel a bit more connected and I don’t need to worry about how to make sure my pets are well cared-for and loved when I’m away!

Brittney is the best! She’s super reliable and prompt. She’s very observant of the dog’s behavior and likes and dislikes. She has excellent communication and so she’s really easy to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our family and our dog.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
