Dog Walking Marylhurst

“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!”

“J.B. did great. I'll be hiring them on a regular basis. Sent me cute photo updates and a synopsis of their time spent with my Dog.”

“Julie took Rory on a long walk every day we were out of town, even in the pouring rain. They did brisk walks so Rory got good exercise, and was happy. We appreciated her flexing her walk times to find breaks in the atmospheric river rain event.”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in the house, even one gerbil! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals since the age of 12, and I have experience administering medication and feel comfortable with any extra care your pet may require. I am a freelancer and my last contract ended recently. I am appreciating this downtime, which means I have an open schedule to provide care throughout the day for your pets. I would like to meet your pet in their own environment to keep continuity, and am happy to set up a check-in schedule with you for updates about your pet’s day and routine, including pictures if requested.

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.

“What a lovely young woman. Confident, kind, loving toward my animals. I Will definitely have Parrish take care of them again. They loved her and this was such a load off my mind!”

About: I provide more than just dog sitting — I build loving, trusting relationships with every dog in my care. I have experience with senior dogs, pups who need medication, and dogs who simply need a little extra love and attention. I love taking them on walks, spending quality time together, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have references if needed. I recently moved from California and am now living with my aunt and uncle, so my schedule is wide open for pup care! I had to say goodbye to my wonderful dog clients back home and am so excited to meet new dogs who need loving, attentive care. Since I’m not currently working outside of dog sitting, I’m fully available to give your pup the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect — as if it were my own. I’m clean, organized, and make sure everything is left just as I found it (or better!). I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Along with providing loving care for your pets, I also ensure your home stays tidy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m especially drawn to homes that feel peaceful, well cared for, and thoughtfully put together—spaces where you can really sense the love and intention behind them. I’ve found that both pets and people tend to thrive in that kind of environment, and it helps me feel comfortable and fully present too.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, my family has had dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s) that I’ve helped take care of and watch. I’ve also helped neighbors and friends watch their dogs both bigger and small dogs as well. I’ve experienced dog-sitting for those who need a little more senior dog attention to younger dogs that are more playful, and have always been very good with animals. My schedule is currently can be flexible, so I can make time to hang out and play with your dogs or cats. I’m available weekdays during the day, generally after 10am and before 4pm I am very good with animals and helping them feel comfortable. For drop-in visits and dog-walking, I’m good at sending little updates on your pets with each visit.

About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!

“Very friendly and did a great job. Nimbus had a great time!”

About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep. Locally, I volunteered at Multnomah County Animal Services, completing intensive training in medication administration and enrichment. I'm certified in Pet First Aid through American Red Cross. Through TrustedHousesitters and caring for friends' pets, I regularly handle multi-week stays for both dogs and cats, ensuring consistent routines, high-level medical attentiveness, and dedicated care. As a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the dedicated attention they deserve. I am available for long-term house sitting, weekend stays, and drop-in visits or walks any day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I prioritize safe, precise, and low-stress care above all else. Certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid, I am fully equipped to administer oral and topical medications, handle intensive wound care, and maintain extensive care schedules. Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.

About: For 5 years I volunteered almost every weekend at an animal rescue. Handling different pets (mainly cats and dogs of all ages and health/physical disabilities), administering medicine, exercising them, feeding & cleaning. Beyond that I have always been the go to pet sitter for my friends, family and neighbors! In my lifetime, I myself had many different pets; guinea pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, and fish. Growing up my family has always been the type to adopt rescues. Which included having to rehabilitate them, physically and emotionally. It’s extremely important to me to have a good mutual relationship with your pet and care for them as I have/would my own. I am currently unemployed! Therefore, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most days and times of the week(end). Let’s chat and see what works for us both! Safety and comfortability is a top priority for me! I require a Meet Up before booking to ensure we are a good fit for each other. I love to keep you updated through texts/photos (depending on your personal desires). In case of an emergency, I have a vehicle and am knowledgeable about the ER vets in Portland.

About: I have been pet-sitting for several years, including cats and dogs of all ages. My primary client in San Diego was an older dog, so I am very familiar with administering medications (i.e., oral pills, topical medicine, and injections). I also have experience in households with multiple pets, and am comfortable with younger animals too. I am more than happy to stay overnight and provide whatever pet care is needed! Hello! My name is Gianna, and I’ve recently moved from San Diego to Portland. I loved pet-sitting in San Diego, and am hoping to continue pet care now that I’ve relocated! I am currently fully available day/night to pet-sit as I continue to seek remote-only work. I am able to stay the night with your pets in your home, arrive early mornings, and/or leave late nights. My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to accommodate your pet’s daily needs! I am unable to board pets at my home, but am more than happy to stay in an owner’s home! I am dedicated to ensuring pets are comfortable in their familiar space while owner’s are away. I always ensure to stick to any strict pet schedules and meet all sitting requirements/requests. I have several years of experience with pets of all ages, but have spent significant time with older pets; I am fully comfortable administering any medication (oral, topical, injection, etc.) that your pet may need.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life! I grew up with dogs and most recently had the privilege of caring for a family member’s senior dog through the end of his life. That experience made me appreciate even more how much love, patience, and care our furry family members deserve at every stage of life. Since moving into our home with a beautiful yard, I’ve been looking forward to sharing it with some furry friends! We have three young children, so we aren’t quite ready to commit to another full-time dog just yet. In the meantime, we would love to open our home to other people’s pups and give them a safe, loving place to stay and play. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own, follow their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of affection and time to enjoy our yard. Our home is best suited for dogs who are comfortable around young children and enjoy a family environment. I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and needs so I can help them feel right at home while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶 I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home with my children and have flexibility throughout the day to incorporate caring for your pup into our routine. Between time at home, outdoor breaks in our beautiful yard, and plenty of opportunities for affection and companionship, we’d love to make your dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us. With three young children, we keep a family-oriented routine, so we’re especially suited for dogs who are comfortable around little ones and enjoy being part of a busy, loving home. I’ll be mindful of your dog’s individual needs and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pets will be welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family! We have a beautiful yard for outdoor play and fresh air, as well as a garage for extra space when needed. Dogs will stay inside our home with us and will have access to our yard for potty breaks, playtime, and exercise. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can incorporate their care into our daily routine, including meals, walks, outdoor time, and lots of love and attention. We’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re awa
