“Emily is fabulous! Very communicative, easy going and super great with our high energy pup. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Clare was available to walk my dog on short notice while I was in town for a family wedding. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable and was able to relax and enjoy the event knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“Carly is the best!”
“Malia has been a lifesaver! She has been taking our young crazy pup for walks when we're too busy working. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that he's being cared for and is in good hands!”
About: I am very responsible and treat the animals as if they were my own. As an anxious pet owner myself, I know leaving them can be very hard. With me they’re in good hands. I am currently working part time 3 days a week but I live with my mom and she is retired so she fills in for me when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) I have a large fenced in backyard. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.
“Rebecca went over and above coming a few days early to meet Kona and ask some questions about walking in our area. She was a solid communicator on game day and even sent a pic of the walk.”
“Seemed like a great experience! Bingo got a walk AND a swim! First experience on River, so signed up for a full hour dog walk. The way Rover tracks it (with walking and driving all together) it’s hard to tell how much walking there was, but that’s no reflection on Marissa. She used great decision making choosing to take him for a dip and I really appreciate that🙏 I’m thrilled he got both activities! It was hot. He looked so happy with her!”
“Connected with Allie on short notice and she’s absolutely amazing! Communicates very thoroughly, and I truly believe that Jake has found another FUR-EVER friend!!”
“Prudence did a great job walking our dog Harlowe. She was always in communication with us and really took care of harlowe. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your dog.”
About: My dedication to living a life of high integrity and authenticity reflects in my work and daily life which I’ll bring to every new client Currently looking for full or part time work this winter and would ideally like to fill that time helping people with their pets full time Will provide the best possible service to adhere to any clients needs/desires while providing a highly loving and caring environment wherever necessary for each pet
About: Hi, I would love to take care of your sweet fur babies! I have had animals my entire life, so I have many years of experience. I will treat your pets as if they were my own: spoiled rotten! I find a special connection with each animal I encounter. I truly believe with animals, we humans can experience unconditional love. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a deer named Burt! I am very active, so if your animal needs high activity, I’m your girl! I have also taken care of senior dogs (my own), blind doggies, and a very grumpy cat. I teach yoga and Pilates, so I have a flexible schedule, with plenty of time to spend with your babies.
“Erica was flexible as our timing shifted. And she took him to do his favorite thing… play fetch near water. Recommend 100%!”
About: Hello, Friends. I'm an all around animal lover. Born on a farm in Oregon, I'm use to diverse animal behaviors and care. My services include dog walking and house and pet sitting. I also provide horse feed, walks, and other farm animal care while you're home or away. As an active person, and beach lover, your pet is always welcomed to have some outdoor fun with me and go for a run or some water time. I'm First-AID and CPR trained for dogs and other furry pets so you know your best buds will be in great care while they are with me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet(s). My Schedule: I work from home part-time so my schedule is very flexible. My routine is based around the pets care and needs. I do attend dance every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours, so I will be away during the evening for two hours. Environment: I keep a very clean and safe environment for all pets in my home. I am always stocked with treats, toys and comfortable relaxing areas.
“Kim picked up my dog Coco super last minute (like 30 min after I contacted her!) and gave her a nice hour long walk so I could pack for a trip. Coco came home super happy and tired and ready to sleep in the car on our road trip. Thanks Kim!”
“Huge help for us when we were on vacation at a wedding in Hood River. Thanks!”
About: I love with a golden retriever but still love to take care of others to get my dog fix in. Dogs are my favorite animal and I would love to spend some time with yours while you’re away. I can run, walk, feed, throw balls or frisbees and give them lots of belly rubs. I am not a certified trainer but have experience training my old two labs and know how to train them. I will walk rain or shine and we will have so much fun. I’m excited to meet your puppies soon!!! I work full time but the fall and winter are pretty quiet for me. I am able to let dogs out during lunch, etc. I'm always happy to make some extra time to get outside with dogs too! Dogs will be kept in the house or on a leash unless we are in a fenced in area. The house is clean so there's nothing not too much trouble to get into!
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I now have a dog and cat of my own which are living with me. I am working full time so can tend to your pets usually after 4 PM but sometimes earlier. I will usually not be available for weekends. I take my dog for long walks down the trail every day and make sure he gets plenty of play time while at home. I always have water available and live in a low trafficked wildlife area.
“Really pleased with Rosie’s good communication. She took great care of Homer and I look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I am a retired teacher who loves dogs! Your dog will become part of our family during their stay with access to a fenced yard, a neighborhood park, plenty of walks and lots of snuggles. We have a backyard deck and front porches perfect for lounging and watching the world go by. I would be happy to help take care of any dog that gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with many dog personalities and temperaments from volunteering at Austin Pets Alive and Hood River Adopt-A-Dog. My availability is flexible and I am typically home the majority of the day. I will send frequent pictures and updates while you are away. We are able to watch 2 dogs from the same family, but we do tend to only have pets from one family at a time. We will send a link for a brief survey when we receive your boarding request in order to help us get to know your pup better. We take walks in wooded areas, so we ask that visiting dogs be on a flea/tick preventative. Also, we ask that visiting pups be comfortable negotiating laminate stairs since we live in a 3 story house. Thanks! We are retired and so are available to care for your pup. We will take your dog for a daily walk at one of the many outdoor natural spaces that the area has to offer. We have a fenced back yard which is accessed from the 2nd floor. If your dog prefers to cuddle in a crate, we have a crate.
About: Hi my name is Aya I live in downtown Hood River in my own home with a fenced back yard. My boyfriend of 3 years and friend for over a decade lives with me but is often gone for work. Looking to help others while enjoying having a furry friend to keep me company. My little old man dog Vader passed away few years ago, he was almost 15. Had him since he was a pup and fostered many dogs at the local dog shelter in the past. My boyfriend and I are both helicopter pilots, fire fight in the summers and have most of the winters off. Majority of my time is spent at home, out in the garden or walking around the neighborhood. Come spring work starts to get busy. Rest assure if I’m watching your furry family member I will be home majority of every day working on the house being craft or out in the garden. Dog walks in my neighborhood are very safe and there’s a trail close to my house we can walk to. I am “on call” for 2 weeks every two weeks until fire season starts AND I will have annual training at some point in Feb. which is why I only have openings for one week or so at a time. I have a fenced yard with a dog door that can be closed if I leave but I usually keep it closed when I watch new dogs and definitely ones that can jump fences. My neighboorhood is very safe and I have security cameras around the perimeter and well as an alarm system.

Tay is great - I wanted to make sure our dog was familiar with her before we leave on an upcoming trip. She was super understanding and met up with us for a quick walk. Our dog was in love with her the whole time and I felt silly for even being slightly concerned. Thanks Tay! Appreciate you taking the additional time
