Dog Walking Hosford

About: I've cared for neighbors dogs of many different temperaments and with different needs. I've practiced in turning down dogs that beg, but always happy to reward them for good behavior with scratches and pets. I've also cared for dogs with arthritis that required assistance down the stairs, and anti-slip boots among other health concerns. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I do not work an in-person job so my schedule is very flexible. I can give your dog as much attention as they deserve. I can provide pet sitting in your home so that your dog never has to be left alone, or I can drop in as needed for walks, feeding and attention. I'm always happy to take your buddy along to run errands. I'm tidy, organized and responsible - I am always mindful to not leave things out that are not for pets. I mostly get around on bike or walking, but have access to a reliable car as well.

About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand how important it is to maintain a pet's daily routine in their own comfortable environment. Because I work from home, I bring my flexible schedule directly to you, providing dedicated sitting and drop-in care without leaving your pets alone for long hours. You can relax knowing your home will be respected and your animals will receive attentive companionship, regular exercise, and plenty of love. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available weekends, most afternoons and evenings. I'll stick to your pet's routine in their own home, giving your fur baby the company/exercise they need and giving you peace of mind while you're away!

“Brett was perfect for us. Maggie loved her filling in for her regular walker who was on vacation. They made lots of new dog friends and I could totally relax knowing they were safe and having fun.”

Molly M.

“Kai is wonderful and picks up on all my fur babies traits without me even mentioning anything. Which shows me that they are being ever so present with her, and I adore that.”

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

Maureen E.

“Tommy has been a great addition to my dogs' routines. One is very active and the other isn't. Tommy is attentive and has my dogs excited to be with him. He is a joy to work with and is communicative and flexible. I cannot recommend him enough.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have cared for just about every kind of pet over the years — dogs, cats, birds, frogs, chickens, and more. I currently have a cat named Karen… and yes, she absolutely lives up to her name 😹 I’ve done dog walking and pet sitting for friends for years and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be reliable and attentive with walks, drop-ins, and visits. Whether your doggo needs exercise or your meower just wants some company and cuddles, I’m happy to help! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’m available most weekdays and weeknights, and can also accommodate some weekends depending on the request. At this time I’m unable to board pets in my home, but I do offer dog walking and drop-in visits in clients’ homes. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. For dogs, that may look like walks, playtime, fresh water/food, potty breaks, and lots of attention. For cats and other pets, I’m happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), and general check-ins. I understand every pet has a different personality and routine, and I do my best to follow their normal schedule closely while you’re away.

“I’m so glad to know my dog has a new friend that cares for her so much. Alicia is great with dogs, especially the shy ones (like mine). She’s so thoughtful with her Rover report card and always includes awesome pics of my dog!”

“My dog is getting up in years and some days has energy and some days wants to take it slow. I can always count on Tayla to be sensitive to her needs each day and tailor her walk. I couldn’t be happier with her sensitivity and kindness to my dog.”

Sarah F.

“Lyle showed up in the pouring rain! Very punctual, great communication, professional and reliable. My 2 year old cattle dog is tired after their walks and that’s not an easy task. THANK YOU!!!”

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. 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) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two 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 work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

“Ivory goes above and beyond to give our pups a great walk and attention while we are at work. Both dogs happy and tired in the evening. Ivory is quick to communicate with us and takes great pictures of dogs each walk. We highly recommend Ivory!”

“Jen is such a big help for me! She walks my mini dachshund once a week and does amazing with him! Very communicative. My cats also love seeing her when she picks up my dog!”

“I give Ursula 5 stars and this is not something I would do typically this early in the services you guys are providing but my Barney spotted her in my parking lot and I cracked open the window so he could get her scent and bam ! He immediately loved her,no matter who it is Barney will bark at any one coming up my stairs and he did not Bark when Ursula came up AND he whimpered when she left. She updated me every step of the way with multiple pictures and lastly she has gave me peace of mind so i can focus on work .”

Mark K.

“Carlie was a total champ - so glad I found her when I was in a pinch. Easy pick up and drop off and seemed great with my dog. Would definitely book her again.”

Lily S.

“Joseph was great with my pup. He was on time and responded to messages quickly. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of a good walker.”

Charles S.

“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”
