Dog Walking Lake Road

“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”

“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”

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.

About: I am a huge animal lover and am very patient when it comes to caring for animals! I have had my cute orange tabby for about 7 years now and have the cutest 4 year old lab. I am dedicated to the animals around me and want what’s best for them. My husband and I love to go on adventures and can be active with any dog, if needed/wanted. I think every dog and or cat is special in their own way. We are both very flexible and easy going, and always think open communication is the best. We both grew up around dogs and cats it gives us experience on how to gently take care of them. We will make sure that your sweet four legged friend will have a blast under our roof. I work a typical 9-5, I have time in my day to drop home for potty breaks. My husband works three days a week usually starting at 3pm, so he is home most of the day! When watching others dogs, we make sure they are in safe hands! Will follow any specific directions that are given and give your pet the best time possible.

“Kay was an awesome to work with. She really cared for my dog Opal and was a great communicator!”

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!

“Kirby is thoughtful, kind, and takes excellent care of my dog! If you have a special needs dog I would highly recommend Kirby for walks/care.”

“Trixie and I were both thrilled with Stephanie. I would highly recommend her, and will definitely be contacting her in the future for more dog walks.”

“Thank you!! Such a relief to have reliable care for Harley when I away. I so appreciate the communication and professionalism, sets my mind at ease :)”

“Our dog doesn't have a lot of experience with sitters, and Allison knew just how to patiently interact with her as she warmed up to her new friend. We're also going through a house move, so our pup and cats are going through lots of change. It feels good to know that Allison brings the experience we need as an animal lover.”

Amelia B.

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

“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.”

“Elena has been great! Very flexible and great communicator! My dogs have been in great hands. I will continue to book Elena for my dog walking needs :)”

About: I grew up training and showing dogs and come with 9 years of experience in pet care and grooming. I currently do not have any dogs but am looking to offer my experience and care through dog walking and daycare and checkins. When housesitting I tend to vaccum and to some light cleaning to ensure that you are coming back to a clean home after your vacation. Looking forward to meeting your pets. I’m currently working full time but work a flex schedule and am fully available on weekends. I am free for daily walks and pet checkins I can check in with your pet, ensure proper exercise and potty breaks are taken throughout the day and ensure that feeding schedules are followed.

About: I have been a certified veterinary technician for 6 years. I've been taking care of pets ranging from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats for pretty much my entire life! I also worked as a positive reinforcement dog trainer for a couple years while in tech school. As a veterinarian technician, I feel confident administering medications, am comfortable with animals with medical conditions, and also know dog/cat CPR. I also have experience with fearful or reactive animals. I no longer work in a veterinary hospital so I able to spend as much time w your pets as needed. I am currently open to booking any day of the week and can stay overnight. While I'm at home I am always cuddled up with one of my pets and it would be no different in your home! As a pet sitter/walker, my goal is to give your pets the attention they want and follow the routine you have. I want their time away from you to be as stress free as possible. I do not let pets under my care socialize with unknown animals or people. I also do not do off leash activities unless in a fenced in area.

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”
