“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends, which has given me experience with different dogs, personalities, and routines. I’m also a CNA, so being patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work as an on-call CNA and am currently in an online BSN program I have lots of flexibility and can work around other peoples schedules! Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while also respecting their space. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, make sure everything is left the way I found it, and send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.
“Hannah is an all-star! She went above and beyond caring for my nine-year-old and puppy yorkie mixes. Not only did she ensure they were tuckered out on their walks, she took the time to engage in play with them and give them extra treats before she left to aid in the transition process. I feel lucky to have found such a caring companion for my dogs when I’m at work/school and need someone I can trust to check in with them throughout the day. I noticed a significant mood boost in my dogs when she started caring for them. Thank you, Hannah!!”
About: Hi! My name is Quinn and I am 22 years old. I’ve been taking care of neighbors' and friends' pets for almost 10 years now! My main services on here are drop in visits, dog walking, housesitting, and overnight stays, but I am happy to discuss any other activities you might be looking for too! I recently lost my family Bernese Mountain Dog at 10 1/2 years of age and am in much need of dog love. I guarantee I will treat your fur baby with the care and attention that they need and deserve! I recently left my job, so I am extremely open and flexible at the moment! I have no schedule I need to stick to, so I can easily adapt to what works best for your pet. I am unable to have pets in my current home but am able to drive elsewhere to meet up and/or pet sit. My philosophy with pets is to give them what they need (love, attention, exercise, etc..) while being respectful of their space and desires.
“Stephanie was great! She gave great updates and gave me piece of mind that Blue was taken care of and got some energy out while I was at work, which ment I could come home to a little less hyper puppy!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have a medically complex cat, so I’m very experienced with giving pills and administering medications. As a pet owner myself, I understand how stressful it can feel to be away from your pet. My goal is to care for your animal with the same attention and genuine care I give my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently a medical student at Oregon Health & Science University completing a dedicated research year, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout much of the week. Taking dogs on walks or spending time with animals has become one of my favorite ways to step away from studying, get outside, and recharge, so I’d love for your pet to join me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I'm walking your dog or caring for your pet in your home, I make sure they have plenty of attention and a positive experience. I always keep cats indoors and dogs leashed unless instructed otherwise in a secure, designated area. I also provide owners with regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”
About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with
About: I've been around animals my whole life, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, turtles, and birds growing up, and now goats, chickens, and a cat of my own. My sister, an animal behaviorist, taught me to communicate with animals through trust rather than dominance-based methods. I treat every pet like family, so you can relax knowing yours is loved, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away." As a freelance video editor, I work from home full-time, which means I'm around throughout the day to check in, play, and give walks, not just squeezed in before or after work. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust for feeding times, potty breaks, or any specific routine your pet needs. I work from home, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, I'm just a room away most of the day. I treat every home and pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own, keeping to their normal routine and environment as closely as possible.
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Amir is our go-to for our dog Yoshi! He's got a calming presence and always sends great photo updates. He's very trustworthy and we'll continue to book with him if available. Thanks Amir!”
“Andi is SO GREAT. She walked Ellie again several times this week and it’s been a breeze. She is really knowledgeable about dog psychology and different breeds, has a calm assertive energy and a common sense approach which I appreciate so much. I’ll be booking her services again and would definitely recommend her to others. Andi is just a very pleasant person and I’m so happy we found her! Thank you Andi!!”
About: Hey! My name is Holland and I have been looking after pets, specifically dogs since I was 9 years old. I am highly experienced with small and big dogs as well as cats. I’m looking for something consistent, and long term. I can spend the night with your pet, feed your pet or just walk your pet! I have a part time job, I’m going to college starting in the fall but I will remain in this area and I’ll still be available to walk your pets. I’m looking for long term services! Depending on what you want, I can offer services at my home or yours. I have a fenced, closed off backyard, plenty big enough for pups to run around in! If I were to stay at your home, I can follow instructions very clearly and do anything that you need. Just an FYI, I do have an almost one year old German shepherd. He is very friendly and always wants to make new friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marylhurst
Phoenix has a depth of knowledge I’ve yet to see in any other pet handler, such as breed-specific needs, training methodology, and difficult-to-spot signs of concern. I trust nobody as much as her to care for my animals as if they were her own, and cannot recommend anybody highly enough. Will always come back to her, fantastic job.
Lauren is a fantastic dog walker. Our pup looks forward to her walks with Lauren. Lauren has been very flexible with our changing schedule. She is dependable and a great communicator always checking in before the week and on days when walks don’t seem like good idea due to the weather.
Will has been walking our elderly dog during these cold months and we couldn’t be happier with his service. We love Will! He makes our lives easier by helping us with our dog and paying close attention to his bumps and aches as he ages. Would recommend Will for anyone who loves their dog but also has a million things on their plate and just needs someone reliable!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Marylhurst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
