Dog Walking Oak Grove

About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!

“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”

“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 have been a certified veterinary technician for 6 years. I've been taking care of pets ranging from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats for pretty much my entire life! I also worked as a positive reinforcement dog trainer for a couple years while in tech school. As a veterinarian technician, I feel confident administering medications, am comfortable with animals with medical conditions, and also know dog/cat CPR. I also have experience with fearful or reactive animals. I no longer work in a veterinary hospital so I able to spend as much time w your pets as needed. I am currently open to booking any day of the week and can stay overnight. While I'm at home I am always cuddled up with one of my pets and it would be no different in your home! As a pet sitter/walker, my goal is to give your pets the attention they want and follow the routine you have. I want their time away from you to be as stress free as possible. I do not let pets under my care socialize with unknown animals or people. I also do not do off leash activities unless in a fenced in area.

“My dog has walked with Julie twice and she's so much happier with walks over daycare! Julie has been prompt and wonderful with communication.”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits I’ve always truly loved animals and spending time with them, taking care of them, giving them all the love and attention they need/deserve. Mainly throughout the years I’ve taken care of cats and I have dogsitting experience with pets owned by friends and family for about a few years. I love cats a lot and I end up having a special bond with every one I meet. I love dogs too, I believe every dog has a kindred spirit whether outgoing or reserved I try my best to treat them with respect and lots of love. I’m always happy to care for them especially since it’s fun to go on walks, have playtime with them. I will try my best to make sure every pet feels safe, content and happy with me I am looking forward to applying to a veterinary school program so I can one day be a veterinary technician but as of currently I am unemployed and looking for a job that will be fulfilling for me in every way. I am taking a gap year aswell to figure out my schedule for whenever I do get a job. In the meantime I spend my days relaxing at home reading or doing garden work I’d like to say I’m an observant person and very caring aswell, I tend to check in a lot even if it’s not needed and keeping track of when pets need to be let out, feed, given medication, any of the sorts im right on time. I also give pets time to adjust to me before jumping into touching them, I like to let them come to me first to make them feel comfortable if they are shy. If they are messy i don’t mind cleaning up a mess/cleaning up poop/pee. I also love to take lots pictures of pets for the people that book with me to ensure their pet is happy and in good hands

“Thank you for taking such great care of my pup!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life! My mother was a dog breeder, meaning I have experience with puppies! I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog in the house growing up, wasn’t till recently that I haven’t had a pet in the home. I’m a single mom to an animal loving 3 year old, who would be my little helper. I currently work in the medical field meaning I’m comfortable administering all kind of medications, whether that be topical, oral, or injectable medications. I have done pet sitting in the past, I have taken care of many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, you name it I’ve probably taken care of it! I currently work full time, but I am home on evening and weekends, so I’m home starting Friday night to Sunday night to take your pup out as often as possible. During the week I am gone typically 12-14 hours a day, but if your pup is use to that I can make it work to let them out in the morning and then rush back to let them out once I’m home. I live in a duplex with a small fence in area that I can do quick potty breaks and then live close to walking trails for longer outside times. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play with animals. I also love close to parks that I can take dogs to if owner is comfortable with me transporting them. I also live close to my sister who has an active dog who loves friends to play with so that is an option if you have a high energy dog that likes friends.

“Our dog doesn't have a lot of experience with sitters, and Allison knew just how to patiently interact with her as she warmed up to her new friend. We're also going through a house move, so our pup and cats are going through lots of change. It feels good to know that Allison brings the experience we need as an animal lover.”

About: Since I’ve been old enough to remember, I’ve been around animals. I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they were out of town or busy. I can do a multitude of tasks from bathing to walking! I work 7-3 daily, which leaves me plenty of time each day to play with your pets! I love walking- I even walk my dog two miles every morning! There is always time in my schedule to play with pups! I live in Milwaukie so I can easily access most of the Portland area! While caring for your pet, I will ensure I keep a close eye on them while they are outside. I love going on walks and being outside. So, most likely we will catch me and your fur baby anywhere but under a roof!

About: I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs for a couple years. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, taking them out to go potty, I am completely experienced in all of those fields. Having had a dog of my own for 6 years, I know how to handle any sort of situation and how to be flexible with other dogs wants and needs. I have plenty of time this summer to help out and play with your pups! I’m available Mon-Fri after 12p and I’m willing to be flexible with times/days! I always make sure my dog’s food and water is filled and put pee pads down when I know I’m going to be away from the house for a little while. Before I start walking my dog I always make sure I have doggy bags filled and sometimes I’ll bring a rubber water bowl for hotter days.

About: I am a huge animal lover and am very patient when it comes to caring for animals! I have had my cute orange tabby for about 7 years now and have the cutest 4 year old lab. I am dedicated to the animals around me and want what’s best for them. My husband and I love to go on adventures and can be active with any dog, if needed/wanted. I think every dog and or cat is special in their own way. We are both very flexible and easy going, and always think open communication is the best. We both grew up around dogs and cats it gives us experience on how to gently take care of them. We will make sure that your sweet four legged friend will have a blast under our roof. I work a typical 9-5, I have time in my day to drop home for potty breaks. My husband works three days a week usually starting at 3pm, so he is home most of the day! When watching others dogs, we make sure they are in safe hands! Will follow any specific directions that are given and give your pet the best time possible.

About: I've had pets growing up my whole life to play with, feed, bathe, walk, and ultimately love. I have also cared for other people's pets while they were out on vacation or just couldn't get home to do a feeding or walk. Whether it's just a handful instructions or having a full packet of instructions given to follow (true story!) I am able to support and care for pets. They're important and their needs are equally as important as ours and I appreciate being able to support. I work full-time remote so rest assured your fur babies will have someone around during the day! Aside from possible errands or going to the gym I should be able to be with your pet a good amount of time! I like to make sure and confirm that I understand the instructions a pet owner leaves for me. I also, if possible, like to meet the pets beforehand so that they get an opportunity to be around me at least once. I also like to communicate well with owners to send updates, and pictures to owners to provide proof of the care and the comfort of the pet. I am not shy to ask questions to clarify and also to ask for feedback if I can improve in anything or support further.

“This is the second time Mara has helped me out with taking my pup on a walk while I’m at work. She is so great with my girl and sends the cutest pics and videos of their adventures. It’s wonderful having peace of mind that your furry child is well taken care of while you’re gone! She’s the best!”

“First time using this app. Great experience. Kelly was a huge help! Good communication, flexibility, and even came to meet Shamus before the scheduled walks. Felt full confidence in her to take care of our pup. Easy recommendation.”
