Dog Walking North Hearthwood

About: Gigi loves all the babies! I’m a cat & dog mom and Gigi to 3 grandkitties who live right next door. Would love to spend time with your little (or big) sweetheart too. Confident with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs, meds administration for dogs and cats, and am available for overnight care. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours so can easily work around your schedule. I’m available for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight care. I have a calm energy most animals welcome and I’m usually able to gain their trust early. Having raised 2 dogs and several cats through medical conditions and several moves, I’ve become very attuned to their body language which helps me to understand their needs and wants.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals my whole life. I’ve even fostered with rescues in the past. I recently lost my own dog and thought maybe I could cuddle someone else’s while they travel. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard which your pet would have access to at any time they like! I work from home for the Dept of Veterans Affairs and usually have the back door open for access to the fenced yard throughout the day. Outside of errands, I am typically home with them. I have a fenced yard with plenty of access for the pets. When they’re here, they’re family so if they want in the sofa: great! Sleep in bed: even better! Or if they prefer the safety of their crate, that’s good too. I want them to feel comfortable. Unless they’re from the same household, I prefer to keep one dog at a time to make sure they get undivided attention. But, if they’re social and like to play, I live super close to the dog park! If you just want drop-in visits or walks, just let me know how I can best accommodate and I’ll be happy to work something out to suit your needs.

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule for those in the 98664/98683/98684 area. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

About: I've spent the last 13 years as the proud owner of a reactive dog, which means I truly understand the nuance, patience, and trust that goes into caring for dogs with big personalities. That experience has made me a more attentive, calm, and thoughtful caregiver for every dog I meet. Beyond my own pup, I've volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society, where I worked with dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. I've also been a reliable go-to sitter and walker for family and neighbors for years. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, selective with strangers, or needs a little extra patience, I get it, and I've got you covered. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life! I work a flexible schedule, which means I'm available as needed: mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Whether you need a last-minute walk or a planned sitting arrangement, I can usually make it work. Your dog will never have to wait long for attention, a bathroom break, or some good playtime! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can run, sniff, and play freely. My own dog has been my companion for 13 years, so I'm well-versed in reading dog behavior and keeping things calm and safe. I'm experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create a low stress environment. I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I love animals so much, each is so unique! I have also done extensive dog training with my corgi for 3 years, she has anxiety and reactivity issues. So I’m well versed in those behaviors in animals! I am a pediatric nurse at Randalls in Portland. Rover is something I do on the side for fun because I enjoy it! I also just bought my first home so the extra income is very helpful. I am currently moving into my new home which is very spacious. I personally crate my dog at night, but let her roam inside during the day. I can follow whatever directions you need for your fur baby!

About: Hi to all the fur owners! I've grown up with animals all my life, not just cats and dogs, but many different kinds and love them all! Our dogs have passed and so getting to be around others is so nice! I am safe, respectful, reliable, and responsible. I follow detailed instructions and will take wonderful care! I have had experience with senior dogs/cats, special needs dogs, animals that need medication and small/large breeds! Also have had personal training with puppies! I have many years day sitting and overnight with animals prior to signing up here on Rover as I'm also on other apps! Love walking and being of service to them! I hope you take me into consideration, and I get a chance to spend time with your pet or pets! My schedule is very flexible as I work part time on other gig apps and resell! Pet caregiving can be part time or full time depending on the week! I follow detailed instructions give lots of updates and ask many questions so I am prepared for everything! I am professional and take caregiving another being very seriously! Playtime, meds, food, hydration and walks all are very important! Plus all the cuddles if that's what your pet likes! I respect boundaries and your pet will always show tell me theirs!

About: I've taken care of animals professionally and personally since I was a kid. Starting with cats, then getting dogs and learning to train them. In high school I started getting into bigger and smaller pets - rats and then horses. I even have experience with caring for fish. If you've got it, I can learn how to care for it just like you would! I work at a vet ER, so I can do late night check ins for the first half of the week or almost anytime on my weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). How you care for your pet is how I will care for your pet. Tell me all the nitty gritty details and I'll do everything I can to go above and beyond to make sure your animals get only the best.

About: Hi, I’m Carissa — a mom of four and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a kid and have trained puppies at home with potty training and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I love all breeds and personalities — seniors, shy pups, and energetic goofballs are all welcome here! Right now I’m in the slow season of my regular job, which means I have extra time and flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention and love. I treat every animal like family and always take time to understand their unique personality. Expect lots of cuddles, encouragement, and photo updates from me! I wake up very early every day and can always care for pets before work or after work, and always on my days off. If your schedule is flexible I can do multiple visits a day as well. I treat all animals like they are my own family, and love learning each one’s personality. They will get lots of cuddles and encouragement from me :)
