About: I've had have two dogs in my life: Daphne (an labradoodle) and Solo (a Scottie). I love them so much and because of that, I love dogs as a whole. I was a volunteer at the Odell Dog shelter as a Dog walker. There, I met amazing dogs like Roxy (a husky). As a whole, I love dogs and I am good at walking them! I hope to start working on June 16th. From there, I am available from Tuesday to Saturday in the afternoon. This is a part time for me so I am working for only a few hours. However, for those few hours, I trust your dog is going to have a fun walk! I am going to be a dog walker so I am not going to be at your a home a lot. However, I am great with dogs at home. I have taken care of my two dogs at home for years!

About: I’m a single, remote worker with no pets of my own that’s got many pets in my life who I love! I’ve done pet sitting on both coasts ranging from elderly pets like dogs and cats to your non traditional like birds, goats, chickens, and pigs. I offer personalized services for your beloved family members like reading out loud, tucking them in for bed, taking them on hikes, out for a pup cup, play time, dressing them, to watching their favorite shows. Let me love your babies and I’ll show you a happy loved one! I’m single, a work from home school counselor, and have no pets of my own so I’m flexible to come to your space to do let your pet out, do long check-ins, walks, play, to overnight or extended stays. During the school year (August to Mid-May), I take a break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and finish by 4 to 4:30pm. If you have wireless internet, I can bring my work with me so you have peace of mind your loved one can stay in their own space and not have any stress of being moved around. In my home, I do my best to make them feel at home and comfortable. I can bring their beds, toys, etc into my space and have a great, walkable area for them to explore all the smells. I am above a garage with a small porch that I can block off and hang outside with them. I love to love on your babies and introduce them to my local family and friends, especially my online students. My place is not huge, but I’ve hosted small to larger pets like labradors. For my clients, I have dropped in for a period of time, done overnights, extended stays, and even traveled and taken care of multiple pets and some farm animals to help them feel at ease knowing their babies are being taken care of like plant watering, egg harvesting, to mail and package pickup. I love to be around animals and work hard to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and a bit spoiled!

About: I’ve gotten to grow up around animals all my life, and have exposure with caring for a wide variety of different types. I have experience in training young dogs, and also experience in giving medical attention, like caring for wounds, dressing them and administering medications. I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like my own by always providing gentle care, attention, and a safe, loving environment while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to come and care for your pets! I work for about 5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, which still leave me with lots of time to spend with your fur babies! I provide loving, reliable care by maintaining pets normal routines, including feeding times, fresh water, playtime, exercise, and cleaning up after them, while giving them plenty of attention and affection! I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life ranging from my 10 pound puggle to my 108 pound malamute! I have had quite a few dogs growing up and currently house sit/dog sit for family friends. I currently have my cat Mochi of whom I adore! I am just moving to the area so my schedule at the moment is going to be completely open until I start work in Hood River. I make sure that the animals themselves are having a good time and the space that we use looks the same or nicer than when we got there! I love building memories with the animals that will keep them in good spirits until their parents get home

About: I've been on Rover for over five years and I’ve been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was little. My childhood pets have now passed on but I took care a of my dog with heart issues and learned CPR to take care of her. I’ve also volunteered at a couple animal shelters, so I’ve learned how to take care of pets with different types of issues. I currently work 4 days a week. I don’t have a set days that I work but I work in the mornings 7-10am and the evenings 5-10pm. So, there will be days where I would have to be away for up to 6 hours. Any of my free time, I would be hanging with your pet! :) I can’t have pets at my own house but I always make the pets feel very comfortable in their houses. I try to understand how they want to be loved, by cuddles or by a little bit of space. The pets are always my number 1 priority.

About: I've taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for the last 15+ years. I love being around animals sometimes more than people! I am able to take your dogs for walks, care for your cats when you are out of town. I have two dogs of my own so for boarding our dogs must get along well. I work from home 90% of the time so it's easy for me to fit pet care into my schedule. My own dogs get a few walks per day, plus playtime in the yard. I will care for yours as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard. When I'm walking dogs, I'll keep them on leash unless you specify otherwise and I feel confident with your dog. When caring for cats, I'll always play with them a little if they enjoy that before/after feeding time - as well as change the litter box.

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.

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: (Please no dogs bigger than 60 lbs.) 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.
