Dog Walking Ocean Avenue

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, from growing up with pets to pet-sitting countless dogs and cats across NYC. My two cats, August and Ivy, are the absolute loves of my life - My goal is simple: to provide your beloved pets with the exact same high standard of care, safety, and affection that my own two companions receive at home. I work in the office 3 days a week, but I have an hour for lunch and live only 7 min from my office. If close enough I will be able to check in midday as well as morning and after work. I have a fenced yard, though my cats are indoor only I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and enjoy playing fletch for round after round after round. I am organized and will have notes based on what you need for each drop in, will supply pictures, be there on time and stay the whole time. Having used rover myself I know how integral these things are!

“Meagan is awesome! She was so excited to meet Knox the first time and went above and beyond with him on their walks! We really appreciated the pictures and notes from their time together. Meagan also shows up promptly and left me with a tired and happy puppy! Highly recommend!”

“Anna is a friendly and capable dog lover. She was prompt and resourceful in getting my dog to walk, and she followed the cues he gave her. She sent lots of photos and wrote a thorough description of activities. I will definitely ask her to care for my dog again.”

“In NEED of a dog walker while recovering from foot surgery, I found Alejandro here on Rover. I chose Alejandro after reading many walker profiles and one review stood out which ultimately helped me make the decision. Alejandro has been very easy to work with, I booked for reoccurring walks for the time I am incapacitated, he has a planned vacation in the middle of my needs. We worked out a schedule that would meet both of our needs. After a few days of being laid up, no one was helping with my pups morning walks. Asked Alejandro if he was available to do mornings and he could! What good luck?! Communication has been great, pup is panting and happy when he gets home, and the rate fits my budget. Thank you Alejandro! Enjoy your vacation and we will see you when you return!”

About: Longtime dog lover and owner, current parent of a 9-year-old Siberian Husky service dog whom I trained to myself. I love dogs of all sizes and shapes and personalities and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful furkids that I'll be looking after in the future. I'm always telling people "I may have trouble remembering your name, but I will always remember your pet's name." Though I am small in stature I'm actually quite strong and can handle large/muscular dogs (and the occasional feral cat when necessary), because I just know how to move with them/guide them. I'm also not intimidated by aggressive behavior in animals, nor do I meet it with aggression in return. I always try to calm the animal and figure out the issue, putting myself between them and anyone/anything that might upset them further. I have a personality/presence that dogs seem to love, from the timid to the social, the calm to the active. I'm a fast walker, so your dog will certainly get a workout they'll love as they keep pace with me, but I can also meander when needed for the older dogs and fumbling puppies. I have experience doing basic grooming for dogs: bathing, brushing, shaving away mats, clipping nails, trimming the fur between pawpads, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. I do not have experience doing "style" cuts for dogs. I know snake pet care as well, so feel free to inquire if you need someone to look after your danger noodle! Pet care is my primary work focus right now as I work through completing my online schooling towards getting my degree and Vet Tech licence. I have a backyard for your dog to play in alongside my very friendly Husky. It's not fenced in, but I keep a spare long-lead on-hand, same kind as I use for my girl, for guest dogs. If your dog is an especially strong one please let me know and I'll make sure to have an lead appropriate for your dogs weight strength available. Inside the house is dog-friendly and spacious, and I can crate your dog if needed. My dog is allowed on the couch and my bed, so do let me know if those are no-go areas for your dog. If your cat likes outside time I can provide walks and/or put them out in the backyard on the spare long-lead.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had three dogs and two cats over the years. I’m currently raising a golden retriever puppy with my family and absolutely love spending time with dogs. Friends have always trusted me to watch their pets while they’re out of town because they know I treat every animal like family. I’m the kind of person who stops people on the street just to ask if I can pet their dog. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, walks, and love they deserve. I care for every pet like my own, always putting their safety, comfort, and happiness first. I stay alert on walks, careful around other dogs, people, traffic, and our surroundings to make sure pets feel safe and secure at all times. I also have a fenced yard for safe play and experience caring for and crate training puppies since I currently have 2 dogs.

“Jennifer is fantastic!! She has been a huge help to us with walks for our new family member, Oreo. She is very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs, and super prompt and efficient. She takes awesome pet photos too!! 🐾 We are so happy to have found Jennifer on Rover.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and especially love taking dogs on walks where they get to lead with their noses. I wish I could get a pet right now but since I can’t, I love helping out other pet owners to get my dog and cat fix! I just moved to Portland and am applying for work in conservation and/or education, so have a very open schedule as I continue my job search. I am usually gone on weekends out in the woods somewhere, but am around the city on weekdays! I cannot host pets in my home, but will happily visit your home and make sure to follow all pet care instructions you leave for me!

About: I’ve spent the majority of my life taking care of horses so rest assured I’ll be able to handle your dog! Have owned German shepherds so big or crazy dogs are fine by me as well. My dog passed last year and I am desperately missing all the time I spent outside walking and playing with him. I am currently working part time in the evenings so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups during your nine to five! Happy to take care of your pet at your home and work with the set up you have! I will work with what you’ve got.

“Jesika was such a huge help, always showed up with a smile, my puppy was overjoyed to see her and she was very communicative through our time. Would definitely hire her again.”

About: Over the years, I have learned a lot about cats through experience and research. I am uniquely qualified to help with: - multi cat households and the nuances of feline care such as separate feedings, hierarchies, or cats that don’t get along with others in the home - to assist with medical needs, always depending on tolerability but willing to get creative - build rapport and trust with extra shy cats - approaching and caring for cats with challenging behaviors or peculiarities I am employed full time and a mother. This is a fun and fulfilling side hustle for me. Reach out if you’re flexible and can work together with me to come up with a schedule that works for all, especially your furry babies. Tailored by case. it’s important parents describe their cats’ needs so routines can be upheld and stress is reduced across the board. Peace of mind is so important when you can be there to personally care for your beloved furries!

Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs a lot of playtime or a senior dog who loves a slow, peaceful walk, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and temperaments, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or need extra patience and care. Safety and comfort are always my top priority-I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re my own. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care with lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I believe in clear communication, prompt responses, and going the extra mile-because that’s what pets deserve! Let me know how I can support your pet’s happiness and well-being! I’m currently on summer break from full-time studies, so I have open availability for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings! I’m working part-time, but my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, loving care for your pets. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your furry friend! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I create a calm, nurturing environment where pets feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on behavior and surroundings, and always use secure leashes and harnesses. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with kindness, patience, and the same care I’d give my own. Communication is key-I’ll keep you updated so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Mae is fantastic! She’s amazing with my 80 pound shepherd and little golden doodle. She was open to whatever routine was best for my dogs with ball playing and walks, and is a positive, helpful part of our daily routine. Highly recommend!”
