Dog Walking North Springfield

About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.

About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.

About: I've loved and taken care of dogs since I was around 12 years old and I had several dogs of my own and I have experience fostering dogs as well. I have worked with dogs of all ages - from puppies to elderly dogs - and I have experience administering meds and caring for ill dogs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs - from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I've been a stay-at-home dad for the last 13 years and have worked from home for 8 years. I have ample availability during the day to walk your dog(s) and to feed and care for them according to their needs. I treat all animals with kindness, and will carefully and considerately follow any and all care instructions. I have experience getting dogs into their crates or kennels and administering meds to dogs.

“Julia was super kind and understanding of my complicated dogs. She seemed knowledgeable and like she cared. She listened very well to all my needs and worked hard to accommodate.”

About: I have a dog of my own, a Yorkie, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Having my own dog has given me personal experience with the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet and making sure their needs are met. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I would love to get to know your pet and provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and help make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! As a student at the University of Oregon, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate visits, walks, and feeding times around my classes and other commitments. I am dependable and organized, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s usual routine. I will communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, care, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring every step of the way.

“Linda was prompt, responsive and very friendly. My dog loved her after one walk. I will definitely book again!”

About: I have experience with small Chihuahua breeds, and have grown up alongside Labs, Pitties and Rottweilers. I personally have trained our rottie on leash manners along with the many other dogs we’ve had growing up. I am an animal person through and through and through. I treat every animal to their specific needs for space, playtime, and rest time. I am currently working full time, but have evening availability 6 days per week. I have open availability two days per week and am open to last minute bookings. I am a responsible and detail oriented person who puts your pets needs first! We have a current puppy in training so I’m open to dogs of all ages. We have a fenced in yard, a nearby park and plenty of walking trails so there is the option to take your pups on walks if they are high energy. I have experience with small Chihuahua breeds, and have grown up alongside Labs, Pitties and Rottweilers. We love all shapes and sizes here!

About: I have experience working as a vet tech during the summer of 2021, along with experience nursing/raising newborn puppies at home. I love all animals! I work remote all week! I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted based upon client’s preferred time of service. I do travel for work occasionally, but my calendar is updated with all future travel plans. I can easily make your pet feel safe and confident with a stranger in their home! All pets will receive attention, care, and importantly: love.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.

“Alondra is amazing! One day our dog got out while we were at work, she was so level headed and helped us tremendously in getting him home. We really appreciate Alondra. She’s been wonderful.”

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

About: I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Utah weekly for 5 years with both dogs and cats where I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs. Last year I moved to Oregon to pursue my undergraduate degree (go ducks!) and I’m so excited to bring my experience and love for animals to caring for your pets!! At home in Utah I have two dogs (Millie and Iroh) and a cat (Luna) and have been caring for them for the past 5 years. Iroh has epilepsy and anxiety so I am experienced with handling animal medications and special needs. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I'm currently in school at University of Oregon but do not have a job outside of that so I have a fairly flexible schedule. Typically, I am in class from 12-5pm, which means I’m available to spend my mornings and evenings with your pups and kitties! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. I’ll follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other care they need. I will treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own.

“Ada was great with taking my Fran for a walk! She was prompt and communicative. Will definitely reach out again :)”

About: Hi! My name is Camila, and I’m a senior at the University of Oregon. I’ve grown up around animals and have two dogs of my own who now live with my parents in Portland. They’re getting older and love being at home with my parents, but I definitely miss having dogs around while I’m at school! I’ve cared for my own dogs my entire life and have also helped care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at once, handling larger dogs, and caring for older dogs who may need a little more patience and attention. I also had a cat for many years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I love being outside and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to give your dog plenty of exercise and attention. I currently work part-time as a medical assistant at a pain specialty clinic, which gives me plenty of availability during the week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting before or after work. I’m responsible, patient, and would treat your pets like I would my own! I currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of availability throughout the rest of the week for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I’m also available after 6 p.m. on the days that I work and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I would make sure to follow whatever routine and instructions you have for your pets because I know every pet is different. I’m happy to do walks, feeding, medications, playtime, or anything else they normally need. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable and get plenty of attention while you’re away, and I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own.
