About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Rooney really enjoys his walks with Phoebe. He comes home ready to play and then rest. I really appreciate her taking him out and watching over him.

Hanna was awesome. We were in a pinch when our usual walker had to cancel last minute right before we went on a 2 week trip, and Hanna came through! Hanna put us at ease and completely brought our stress level down! Most importantly my puppers had some good adventures :)

About: I have taken care of, and been around dogs, pretty much my whole life. As an adult I have experience with leash/dog reactive dogs, super high energy puppies, done overnights for dogs with separation anxiety. I also have experience training my own dogs and really enjoy it. I am stay at home mom with both my kids in school so I have free time especially in the mornings after school drop off. I am very careful with other people's property. There should be no signs that I've in your home except for well loved, exercised and happy pets.

Had such a great experience with Young! He took direction very well and was communicative! It was our first time working with Young and he was so kind enough to come by a few days in advance to meet Yogi. He understood our goal on wanting to continue leash training with Yogi and was very attentive to that! I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing Dissaya and Young’s services again!

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.

About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.

About: Hello my name is Niki and I have relocated from Hong Kong to Portland in 2024. I can speak Mandarin and Cantonese. I have over 10 years of experience looking after cats and dogs. I had a Corgi and now I have a cat follow me around everyday. I would let the dogs stay in living room and welcome they sleep in my bedroom. I suggest owner bring me their favorite toys, bed and enough food for the time. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I am available for boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits and dog walking services here in the Pearl, Slab Town, Goose Hollow, Downtown, East End and PSU areas of Portland Oregon. In unfamiliar environments, they might refuse to eat dry food. So I cook fresh food, such as boiled chicken, eggs, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies. I often use essential oils to help pets with anxiety, to calm down and relax.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and mutuals for a number of years. I’m comfortable around all size dogs and multiple cats. I pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I’ve volunteered on and off at animal shelters and sanctuaries and would love to sit some pets in my local area I am currently working full time on-site M-F and am available on the weekends. NOTE: Any additional visits after the first meet and greet will be charged as a drop-in visit (ex. any key pick-up/drop-off, extra M&G). I will only accept bookings in NJ if the toll will be reimbursed by the pet parent I know that all animals are different so as long as I have clear instructions from the client, I’m confident I will be able to provide a high quality standard of care to their animals

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Northwest dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Northwest.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
