Dog Walking Hayhurst

“Danielle handled our two dogs with great care and we would absolutely trust her with our pups again! She was responsive, kind, and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back.”

Amber S.

“J.B. did great. I'll be hiring them on a regular basis. Sent me cute photo updates and a synopsis of their time spent with my Dog.”

Raiden B.

“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Amazing dog walker, my dogs love him”

“I had a very positive experience with having Yana walk my two dogs. It has been a pleasure working with her. She truly seems like an empathetic animal lover. She walked my two large dogs over the weekend and I was impressed with how their walks with her noticeably improved their demeanor.”

“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, beginning with growing up alongside a German Shepherd. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs, personalities, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. I know how much trust pet owners place in someone caring for their animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. I’m available every day for walks and will do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and in the condition you left them. I’m dependable, respectful, and attentive to your instructions and your pet’s routine. I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is being cared for and your home is in good hands.

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I have three full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can be flexible with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I respect my client’s rules, preferences, and boundaries regarding their pets. I will avoid places they’re not supposed to go, keep them on leash at all times, socially distance them if requested, and never give them treats or food unless given owner permission.

“Natalya is great! Communicates well, has my dogs best interest at heart, and has been exactly what we needed!”

“Emma was fantastic with my dog! He took to her so quickly and he’s usually more shy/timid around strangers. She followed all instructions to a T and took a bunch of photos which I appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Emma to watch your fur babies!”

Kellie K.

“Selena was a fantastic help with our Stan while we were out of town. Great communication and Stan loved his time with her. Thank you so much!!”

Andrew P.

“Kayley is exceptional! I have a behaviorally challenging dog and Kayley knows just how to interact with him and keep him safe on his walks. I don't trust very many people with him, and Kayley makes me feel 100% confident. She sends me adorable pics and videos of his walks too, which makes me happy. :) I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur-kid.”

Jamie S.

“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Liz was amazing! She picked up Momo right on time and sent some great profile pics so we see that our dog was happy and all tuckered out afterwards. She also gave some dog walking advice to boot. Professional, caring and fun!”

About: I raised my heart dog since she was 8 weeks old and a whirlwind of chaos (working breed with no job) into a loving, well behaved family companion so I’m comfortable with puppy and dog training in a calm, reward-based manner. I miss my dog so much and I’m ready to give yours all the love I have carried for the last 5 years that I haven’t had my baby. I’m a product photographer that works from home and makes her own schedule so your babies will always get the attention, love and potty breaks they need and deserve. Otherwise, I'm really outdoorsy and active so if your dog enjoys long walks or hikes, I’m happy to take them with me! I have a fully fenced backyard on a 1/3 acre in a quiet, lovely neighborhood in SW PDX where your dog can run free or sniff the flowers 🥰 If taking care of your pet in your own home is less disruptive to their routines, I’m happy to petsit at your house!

“Patrick was a great help after surgery. He communicated well and was flexible. Brody loved his walks- always on time and fun!”

About: Hello! I'm just a natural born animal lover and have been surrounded by them all my life. I have over 15years experience working with animals in veterinary care and have a B.S in Animal Health Sciences. I have had experience with just about every breed and temperament of dog there is. While my passion is for dogs that does not mean I don't also love cats and have never been without one for a pet. My experience also includes caring for reptiles, rodents, pigs and even primates! My most fulfilling work was my time working as an animal health technician in an animal shelter. It brought me pure heartbreak and pure joy. It was so sad to see what conditions brought the animals to the shelter but was also rewarding knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. During my time working in shelters, I gained experience interacting with both shy dogs and aggressive dogs and am comfortable with both. While I've always had pets, I stepped away from working with animals to work in health care some years ago. I really miss the interaction with animals and caring for them. It is my one true passion. I feel I have an instinct into how an animal is feeling and am able to meet that need. I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I'm currently working part-time in health care so have plenty of time open to care for your pet. I mostly have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. While in your home I will take all measures to ensure that your pet is safe and secure. We will leave no doors open and will always have a dog on a leash before walking out the door.

About: A long term pet sitter for multiple families, positive experiences caring for senior dogs, and always working with respect and love for the furry family members. I also have experience caring for different farm animals! I have wide ranges of availability to accommodate walking and feeding and play schedules, I work 5 days a week but always make time before during and/or after the work day to spend proper time! To me theres no such thing as too much communication when it comes to something this important, pet parents wont have to feel shy about voicing their requests and check ins!

“My dog loves Junehe so much and is so excited whenever I tell her she’s coming to see her. I can tell in the photos I receive that she’s happy and relaxed.”
