“We are so happy to have Josh walk our pups! He came over for a meet n greet and it went fantastic! We had him scheduled for a week in June to do daily walks but since it went so well, we wanted to start sooner! He just had his first official walk and it went so great. He’s a great communicator and is very prompt! Lucky to have Josh helping with our pups!”

About: I've had cats and dogs growing up my whole life. I was the primary caregiver, trainer and best friend. I also took care of many of the neighbors cats and dogs while they were away. And their farm animals as well. Also have experience from the Army training tracking and guard dogs. I am a retired latter carrier and a disabled Army Veteran. I have all the time in the world to devote to caring for your pets when needed. Particularly with dogs during the day. Walking is great for your dog and gets me the exercise that I need. It's a win-win. And it's a plus that I get the hang around with dogs. , i currently do not have dogs or cats of my own. I do live in an apartment but I'm close to many parks and trails. I'm available for a client's home sitting as well and will always abide by the wishes of the client for their pets.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for a couple hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and Sunday early afternoons I have church but other than that I’m available. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

I am organized, patient, and kind. I care a lot about dogs!
“Corey has provided amazing services for my dog, Remington. I can always count on her as she is always reliable. She always has great communication skills and always updates me about Remington as needed. She’s definitely compassionate towards animals and I would recommend her for anyone needing services in the future. Also if you book with her she will send you super cute pictures of your animals on their walk!”

“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.”
About: Due to issues with marking, I will only sit female dogs. I have two small rescue dogs of my own - both are under 15 pounds and gentle and playful with one another. I'll pamper your dog just as I do my own with plenty of cuddles, a calm environment and a fenced yard for potty breaks.

I am Sixty Seven years of age and a responsible homeowner. There are no children living in or visiting my home. Having your pet in my home is a privilege and I will always provide the optimum care for your pet. Please come visit me! Plenty of love and attention will be given to your pet. Walks, playtime & fetch. Unless provided a crate, your dog will sleep with me and my two small dogs, unless owner requests they be crated, or the breed or age of pet makes sleeping on a bed inadvisable.

“I couldn’t be happier with our dog walker Mara. Communication was always clear, punctuality was excellent, and most importantly, my dog Gino was treated with care and affection. It’s obvious how experienced and attentive Mara is and it makes such a difference. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”

“Wendi went ABOVE and BEYOND for my Quinn. She met with me before the date so that Quinn could meet her and while Quinn is normally a one woman pup (me) she went to Wendi immediately and began bringing Wendi her toys to share. That has literally never happened before. Wendi also was flexible when my times needed to be adjusted. She communicated with me about how the drop ins and walks went and sent pictures. She also wrote a lovely note and created a water color of my Quinn. (not AI, she actually painted it) I highly recommend Wendi! I know my daughter plans to use her when she needs a dog walker/sitter next.”

“Rachel is a terrific communicator. She was prompt, responsible, trustworthy. She brings a bright spirit, upbeat attitude, and a real love of animals. Bertie loved his walks with her! We highly recommend!”

“Bodie has been so great! He is timely, communicative and flexible. He takes lots of great photos of the pets on his visits and they have all taken a liking to him! I can relax when he's watching them because I know they are in good hands.”

About: I'm a cat and dog lover, and I can't wait to meet your companion! I grew up with multiple pets as a child and loved having fur babies as part of the family. Through high school and college I took care of pets for multiple people on a regular basis. I'll be there to give your cat cuddles, play time, any medications, and the space they need. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get all the belly rubs. I also have experience giving dogs medication and transporting by car. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I can pop in when your fur baby needs me. Shoot me a message and we can meet up! For both cats and dogs I allow them to come to me at their own pace and ensure they're comfortable at home. I enjoy learning their routines, favorite toys, and walking routes. I'm also comfortable feeding, changing out water, giving medication. As part of maintaining a clean space for them, I’m experienced with both litter box upkeep and cleaning up after dogs during walks.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs and seniors. I have been known to refer to, as well as treat dogs like my own children. If you choose me to hang out with your dog I will treat them like my own best friend. I also have some experience with cats. Mostly just the basics; feeding, playing, and cleaning/changing out the litter box. I take and follow instructions very well, and if you invite me into your home to take care of your pet I will respect your space and your belongings. I recently moved to Oregon with my partner for his job. My schedule is wide open to take on both regular and one time clients. I will follow all instructions left to care for your pet. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog so I understand the trust that is placed in me to take care of your animal while you’re away. I can send updates and pictures if you’d like. At this moment I can’t bring animals into my home but that could change in the future.
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Madison is AMAZING!! My dog Zelda is a stubborn girl and Madison won her over very quickly. She is a real trooper putting up with 5 AM rainy morning walks, yet she makes sure Zelda gets what she needs. Madison is delightful, communicative and truly responsible. I will hire her again! Thank you, Nadison!”


About: I am a current college student with a deep passion for animals and an active, reliable personality. Although I do not have a dog of my own right now, I grew up with two dogs and have extensive experience caring for and walking pets of all sizes and ages. Whether you have a high-energy puppy that needs to burn off steam or a senior dog that requires a patient, steady pace, I am comfortable adapting to their specific needs. My background includes walking dogs ranging from small breeds to large companions, ensuring each one gets the exercise and mental stimulation they require. I am punctual, responsible, and dedicated to making sure your dog has a safe, enjoyable, and engaging walk every single time. I look forward to providing your pet with the attention and activity they deserve while you are away! As a former Division I student-athlete at the University of Oregon, I am home for the summer with a very open schedule outside of my personal soccer training. Because I have a passion for fitness, dog walking is a highly enjoyable activity for me and fits perfectly into my daily routine. Whether your dog needs a 30-minute, 60-minute, or longer walk, I am fully available to accommodate their exercise neefs. Growing up, I have always cared for dogs, which fostered an inherent love for them. As a student-athlete, I unfortunately do not have the time to provide a dog the attention it deserves, so this summer is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time with your furry friends.
“Zoe is amazing with our giant breed dogs! She’s responsible, dependable, follows any instructions given and requests clarification if it’s needed. She sends plenty of photos and a detailed report of the day. We will continue to book Zoe if she’s available.”

Wendi went ABOVE and BEYOND for my Quinn.

That has literally never happened before. Wendi also was flexible when my times needed to be adjusted. She communicated with me about how the drop ins and walks went and sent pictures.

I know my daughter plans to use her when she needs a dog walker/sitter next.

Haley has been a perfect fit for our 12 year old lab. Haley made sure she got her exercise but also allowed her to walk and smell at her pace. Haley was ever mindful of the pavement temp and ensured she was safe and did not get over heated. The constant communication, picture and videos were wonderful. Haley is now our go to dog walker and we would highly recommend her. We could not be happier.

We are so happy to have Josh walk our pups! He came over for a meet n greet and it went fantastic! We had him scheduled for a week in June to do daily walks but since it went so well, we wanted to start sooner! He just had his first official walk and it went so great. He’s a great communicator and is very prompt! Lucky to have Josh helping with our pups!

We are so glad we found Taylor! She started walking Winnie right after she had double CCL surgery. While she could only go on 10 minute walks, Taylor made sure to spend time playing with her before and after the walk so our girl had some enrichment. Taylor takes such good care of our puppy!

We love Mara! She has been amazing to work with. Super communicative, always shows up on time and treats our dog Penelope with love and care. We have a lot of stress relief knowing our dog is in good hands and with someone we can count on! We definitely recommend Mara!

We’ve had an amazing experience with our dog walker! She is incredibly communicative, reliable, and truly goes the extra mile every time. Han and Chewie absolutely adore her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. She always sends lots of updates and pictures, which I really appreciate—it makes such a difference being able to see how happy and well cared for they are. While I was away, one of my dogs wasn’t feeling well, and she took extra care and attention to make sure he was comfortable and looked after. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely continue to use her!
