“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!”

“Christy is a great communicator and she always has the best rover cards after walks with my dog. Highly recommend!”

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. With full-time availability, I’m able to dedicate my entire day to providing consistent and attentive care for the pets I look after. 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.

“Elena has been great! Very flexible and great communicator! My dogs have been in great hands. I will continue to book Elena for my dog walking needs :)”

“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. My style is steady, calm and confident, which tends to work especially well for dogs who are older or nervous, while high-energy dogs will be safe to express their big personalities. My availability is flexible, so just reach out with what you need and we'll figure out a schedule that works. Weekdays: Mon - Fri: 6am to 11pm overnight sitting, walking, exercise and visits. Weekends: 9am to 12am overnight sitting, walking, exercise and visits I am currently available and open to scheduling. I'm usually able to be flexible when needed. Let me know what you need! I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own — following your routines closely, from feeding times to walks to medication dosages, and staying mindful of any quirks or triggers you flag ahead of time. 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.

“Thankful for the walk and the update and photos!”

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.
