Dog Walkers in Madras, OR

About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew upon a farm and currently have a 130 lb. Newfoundland, so I'm very comfortable handling large breeds as well as small dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with respect. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medications, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide clear communication and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. Since my daughter is sometimes with her dad I am also available for overnight house sitting. I plan my day around your pet's routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat your home and pets with respect and care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines you provide. I am comfortable with large and giant breeds, and I prioritize safety, secure doors, and clear communication. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs my entire life! Have a high energy and chaotic fur baby? It’s a good thing I love walks and playing! Got a more relaxed and calm dog? We can go to the park and read a nice book together! I am a recently graduated college student waiting to start my Masters program so my days are vastly open! I would love to fill my days with your animals and helping out where I can! I am attentive to all animals and carefully read all care instructions left by owners. I am also very careful with the weather conditions as animals are more susceptible to heat and cold then we are!

About: I've always had a huge heart for animals and taking care of things in general. I've taken care of my own animals since I was 8 or 9 years old and did 4H for 4 years. Family and friends always had me as there pet sitter because not only was I attentive and took good care of their animals, but I absolutely loved doing it! I'm up for any challenge and any type of animal and I promise to take excellent care of them. I have a couple cats of my own and am very close with my moms dogs who live next door! I am currently in school but taking online classes so I can take my schoolwork wherever I go! I am looking for a part-time job but don’t have one at the moment so I am very flexible with my time. I live in a small house by myself. It is part of a duplex that I share with my mom. She is aware that I will be watching peoples pets on the premises and we both own our own pets, so we are very aware of the risks such as pet hair and accidents. We share a fenced back yard that is pretty large. It is about a quarter of an acre. I have one cat and she is very friendly with other animals. I used to live on a farm with her so she is used to other furry friends.

“She walked our big “difficult” dog, and made it seem like no issue! She also came at a moments notice and and was extremely punctual. Would recommend!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I travel full-time in my camper van, which actually makes it easy for me to stay close by when caring for pets. When house sitting, I park in the driveway and stay nearby so I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. Because I stay in my camper van parked at the home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day and night if your pet needs anything. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I LOVE animals. I currently have one dog, and a cat. I know how to clip nails, bathe dogs, and feed proper portions. I also have experience cleaning up accidents, including feces, urine, and vomit. I volunteered at my local humane society as a teenager. I also have about 2 years of experience working at a board and train facility. I also can teach basic commands such as loose leash walking, sit, shake, lie down, and roll over. I am very good at making sure dogs are let out to go potty to avoid accidents, however as I said before if an accident does happen to occur, I can easily clean up the mess. I’m currently not working, so I should have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I cannot see well at night, therefore I will not be available before the sun comes up, or after it goes down. I will only be available during daylight hours. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. At home I have a dog and a cat. They have only lived together for about 1/2 of their lives. They get along well, and my dog is crate trained for when he is home alone. This is for the safety of the cat, and my dog. Accidents can happen so safety is always a top priority. Out on walks, any animal in my care(other than my personal dog(s))will be on a leash at all times. My pet is off leash trained however he is rarely off leash and likely would not be included in walks with client dogs. If a clients dog is off leash trained I would still require the dog to be on a leash when in my care for safety.

About: We have both been around and owned dogs since we were kids. I worked in a vet clinic from the time I was 14 all throughout high school. I also worked with a dog groomer for a few summers. I am an Animal Behavior College certified Dog Trainer as well as a wildlife biologist. Let's just say I love animals!! We are cat lovers too and would be more than happy to care for them also! We would provide the same level care for your pets as you do. We like to treat them like a member of our family and hope that they enjoy their time with us so much that they hardly know you are away. We know it is an honor and a privilege to be trusted with caring for your fury family member and we take that seriously and strive to never disappoint. I currently work from home for my main career as a Spatial Data Analyst (wildlife related). Your pet would have someone around aside from the occasional trip to the store or other errand. I will always communicate openly about my schedule during your visit so you are aware of any times I may have to be out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard and a 4-year-old Great Dane to keep your dog company! Thus, for stays in my home your dog must be dog-friendly, non-aggressive, and not afraid of large breeds. I also have four cats. I do have a doggie gate that keeps the cats separated, but one of them can jump the gate as she likes to sit on top of the kitchen cupboards and observe. Aaron and I have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They both have been around dogs their entire lives and are very used to respecting their space and letting dogs warm up to them. With that said, they are still kids. So for stays in our home, your dog will have to be good with other dogs, young kids, and cats. For stays in your home, your dog ideally will be okay with kids but my kids don't always need to come with depending on the dates of the stay.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have consistently been pet-sitting for close family members for a few years now. I am amazing with the senior dogs but am up for the playful energy for the pups. I am here to make your trip stress-free :) I am currently attending COCC while also working part-time. I am a motivational hard worker, who has a very flexible schedule with open availability during holidays. This is a side hustle for me to save money for school expenses and to create meaningful memories with furry friends! I enjoy dogs more than humans! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, and cats. I provide a fun, playful experience with your fur babies. I prioritize comfort and safety over everything when it comes to your animals. I am detail-oriented and follow instructions precisely. I am experienced with giving medication as well as handling special needs animals.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I started dog sitting at the age of 10 and have worked with a variety of breeds. I have personal experience with puppies and mid-aged dogs. I’m currently available mornings and evenings, and occasionally midday, for pet walks. I enjoy walking around the neighborhoods, parks, and trails around Prineville. I keep an eye out for hazards like snakes and bad water and always clean up after potty time. I always keep my pets on a leash or e collar (if trained). I use loose lead walking techniques (no pulling), and train dogs to stop at intersections. We are generally in areas with little to moderate use.

About: Pets are family! I have loved animals since I was a young child. I took extra special care of my neighbors pets and my own growing up. My love and commitment to your pets optimal care will be my number one priority. My hubs works from home and I work part-time at a non-profit child abuse prevention nursery. One or both of us are always home. We also have two teens that adore the pets who visit! I have a fenced side yard with a doggy door. Your pets will be able to go in and out when they want to. There will be lots of play time with my kids, pets and myself. We do two solid walks everyday. We also subscribe to Bark Box so there is a constant flow of new toys and healthy treats arriving monthly.

About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.

About: Where Experience and compassion meet - I am a responsible, experienced pet sitter. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me and I LOVE cuddles so if they're a little needy I'm okay with that. I'm available any day. I work from home. I am just moving here and haven't found my permanent home yet so I'm willing to go to yours. Once I have a house with a yard I can bring pets to mine. I take care of them as their owners request. If there are minimal instructions I typically ensure they are fed/watered, and take for potty breaks every few hours. I play and cuddle if they're open to that or wanting that. I'm pretty attentive and most animals feel at ease with me immediately.

“We are very grateful to have Danya walk our dog on a daily basis. She gives great updates and most importantly is very sweet with Sugar. Definitely recommend!”
