“Jason has been walking my two small Dogs for several months daily for an hour and 1-2 mi, Ìf the small one Gets tired carries her. They are very excited to see him and they sit on the couch staring at the Front door. The three of them are very well known and enjoyed in the my neighborhood and he is now walking other dogs. You would be fortunate to have him In your life.”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, disabilities, and those that require senior care. I can do walks, drop in’s, and dog sit while you’re away. I’ve also adopted and raised two tuxedo kittens, giving me hands on experience with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently working mornings and I’m open Monday through Saturday after 12 PM. I prefer to have Sundays off and my mornings spent with my kittens. My biggest priority is to keep your furry baby safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow care instructions closely and maintain a safe environment. Whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive care. I also believe in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
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.
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.
“Madeline has been absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, who couldn’t be more different in personality and needs. She’s incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly takes the time to understand each of them individually. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both cared for in a way that suited them best.”
About: Hello👋 I would love to walk your dog on Mondays and maybe the weekend! If you live very close, I might be open to cat sitting as well! Unfortunately, life circumstance limits other opportunities at the moment. I have worked in the veterinary field for the past 8 years and have pet sat countless pets when I lived in Corvallis previously. I graduated with a b.s in zoology at OSU so you can say that animals are my life. I have an 8y/o German Shepherd husky mix, Grayson, and have grown up with large to giant breed dogs, some of whom were reactive. Hence, I am comfortable walking any size dog. Grayson is dog friendly (occasionally selective) if you ever wanted your dog to walk with a friend but not needed. I work 4 10s but have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to walk your dog. I can possibly cat sit if you live very close. Mondays are the most ideal day to walk your dog. I will treat your pet like the special and cute babies they are. I am very receptive to following through on training you have been working on with your dog on walks.
“I am so grateful that Karly has been walking and checking in on my senior dog, Carl these past couple months. It is such a comfort to know that she is taking care of Carl while I'm away for a long work day!”
“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.”
“It’s clear they truly love animals, and my pups warmed up to them right away. I’m so glad we found such a caring and reliable person to help us with dog walking. We highly recommend them and will definitely continue working with them!”
“Hannah is fantastic. Low-key loves and her loves her. Excuse me one thing though Loki is an English cream golden retriever. I’m not sure whether it was pilot error on my part when I put in what type of doggie is or not, but if it can be changed. It should be changed to an English cream, golden retriever”

Sydney was awesome! She made herself available on extremely short notice and was excellent with Olive. This was my first experience with Rover and it couldn't have gone better, thanks to Sydney. Her communication was excellent and she was thorough and thoughtful. Thank you Sydney, Olive hopes to see you again soon :)
Jason will be your dogs (and) your Best Friend. They go on a morning daily- a mile plus - for an hour. Actually the 7 lb Daisy is a bit of a diva and when she wants to stop she is tucked inside his Jacket for the rest of her walk. The trio has friends from miles around Oak Grove.
Madeline has been absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, who couldn’t be more different in personality and needs. She’s incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly takes the time to understand each of them individually. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both cared for in a way that suited them best.
Aislynn was such an awesome walker and would highly recommend her! She took such great care of our dog and cat, and we would book her again in a heartbeat. We were in constant communication and the pictures we got every day were great. Thelma and Bourbon would love to see you again!
I’m so glad I found Angela to help walk my very particular little cattle dog/chihuahua mix. He was getting too overstimulated at daycare and this has been a great switch. Angela is super communicative, sends great updates and pictures, and always makes sure Alfie has a fresh bowl of water and has settled down comfortably before she leaves. 🙂
Megan is great! I have a very reactive/slow to warm up dog and Megan has been patient and kind as he has warmed up. My dogs are also very energetic and needy. I feel at ease knowing Megan will take care of them on their daily walks. Megan always provides detailed notes on how the walk went. Megan is always on time and is very reliable. I would recommend Megan to any friend or family!
