Dog Walking Kerns

About: I love spending time with pets and walking outside. I've taken care of dogs since childhood, and now I live between Laurelhurst and Mt Tabor, so there's no shortage of trails in the area. Let's go!! I'm currently taking a sabbatical after several years working in tech, so I am available for your pet at all hours of the day! Staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet than a trip to a boarding facility. Allow me to help your pet stretch their legs! I also have many years experience administering medication to grumpy cats, through my own grump, Moe.

“Charlene is very flexible and sweet with my old man . Thank you for helping us out ! I have booked Charlene multiple times and will do so as long as I can :)”

“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.”

“Kayla has been a great addition to my pup’s life while I'm at work! She is very communicative and gives me great updates on my little lady after each walk. I have already rebooked with Kayla and will definitely continue to request her spend more time with my pup in the future.”

“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.”

“Mark was fantastic with Oso and was good at being firm but gentle. Oso seemed happy and pleasantly tired! Definitely would have Mark walk him again and would recommend Mark!”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.

“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!”

Julia C.

“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!”

“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.

“Melody was incredible and accommodated all requests for my two pups! I have already rebooked and trust her with my dogs! She is prompt and provides good updates!”

Michael J.

“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.

“Jess has been a fantastic and trustworthy dog walker for us for over two years. Rain or shine, she is reliable and a great friend to our dog, who can be triggered to other dogs while out on walks. I feel very comfortable with our dog in her care. I wouldn't use any other dog walker at this point!”

Amber B.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

Madeline K.

“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.

“Meg was great! Althea loved her and everything went smoothly. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again.”

Felicia C.

“Miles was great with my pup! She is usually shy and unsure with new human friends, but warmed up to Miles right away at our meet & greet. Highly recommend!”
