Dog Walkers in Opal City, OR

“Very sweet and good with my energic pup!”

About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.

About: I've always had a huge heart for animals and taking care of things in general. I've taken care of my own animals since I was 8 or 9 years old and did 4H for 4 years. Family and friends always had me as there pet sitter because not only was I attentive and took good care of their animals, but I absolutely loved doing it! I'm up for any challenge and any type of animal and I promise to take excellent care of them. I have a couple cats of my own and am very close with my moms dogs who live next door! I am currently in school but taking online classes so I can take my schoolwork wherever I go! I am looking for a part-time job but don’t have one at the moment so I am very flexible with my time. I live in a small house by myself. It is part of a duplex that I share with my mom. She is aware that I will be watching peoples pets on the premises and we both own our own pets, so we are very aware of the risks such as pet hair and accidents. We share a fenced back yard that is pretty large. It is about a quarter of an acre. I have one cat and she is very friendly with other animals. I used to live on a farm with her so she is used to other furry friends.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have consistently been pet-sitting for close family members for a few years now. I am amazing with the senior dogs but am up for the playful energy for the pups. I am here to make your trip stress-free :) I am currently attending COCC while also working part-time. I am a motivational hard worker, who has a very flexible schedule with open availability during holidays. This is a side hustle for me to save money for school expenses and to create meaningful memories with furry friends! I enjoy dogs more than humans! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, and cats. I provide a fun, playful experience with your fur babies. I prioritize comfort and safety over everything when it comes to your animals. I am detail-oriented and follow instructions precisely. I am experienced with giving medication as well as handling special needs animals.

“Savanah was fantastic. Another walker cancelled at the last minute and she came through with complete professionalism. I would recommend Savanah to anyone.”

About: I’ve lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs my entire life! Have a high energy and chaotic fur baby? It’s a good thing I love walks and playing! Got a more relaxed and calm dog? We can go to the park and read a nice book together! I am a recently graduated college student waiting to start my Masters program so my days are vastly open! I would love to fill my days with your animals and helping out where I can! I am attentive to all animals and carefully read all care instructions left by owners. I am also very careful with the weather conditions as animals are more susceptible to heat and cold then we are!

About: I’ve taken care of different animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so I know how to love/care for many fur- baby’s! I am a teacher in the area and have the flexibility to provide care for the many pets in the area in my down time. I am flexible with what needs are to be met in a clients home. I do not home pets in my personal home. I will do my best to accommodate when caring for your pets in yours!

“It was nice to meet Lauryn for dog walking and hopefully overnight dog sitting soon. She was patient with my dog who was not too cooperative at first and had good communication to let me know what was going on. I have booked her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Dinah! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past five years, my bond with my two dogs, Polly and Moose, has grown especially strong. Polly is an Akbash/Anatolian Shepherd, and Moose is an Aussiedoodle. We love going on daily adventures together and typically get out for 3–4 walks a day. They’re both friendly, easygoing, and happy to meet and play with other dogs, as long as your pup is comfortable with that. I’ve worked in healthcare for nine years and currently work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m excited to extend my passion for animals by helping care for yours: whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away or bringing your dog along on our fun, active outings. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same attention and affection I give my own! I currently work part-time as a registered nurse so I have lots of time on my hands, including weekdays and weekends, to watch and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and multiple parks around my neighborhood to take your pups on adventures. My two dogs are friendly and always excited to have a friend visit. I ensure your dogs are cared for just as I care for my fur babies!

“Jena is AMAZING. She really likes dogs you can tell. My dog loves her. She is a very warm and confident woman. I will hire her again. I highly recommend her you will be pleased. Some dog walkers charge 25. an hour she doesn’t. She is very reasonable. I told her to raise her price ! Beale Jones”

“First off I want to say I don’t think I’ll ever find someone as dedicated to loving dogs as much as Riley! On the shortest notice I’ve ever done she was quick to jump up and walk Jack and make sure he was getting the fresh air and playtime he needed! Not only was she able to walk my boy on such short notice but made sure he had fresh water and a treat to go with it! She communicated with me through their walk and sent me plenty of pictures showing that he definitely had the best morning walk he’s had in a while! 10/10 me and Jack will be back!”

About: I am a dog mom and I absolutely love animals! I have taken care of friends/families pets for over 10 Years. My pup is a 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix pup Bella Bean! She is great with other animals and people and truly loves everyone. We love to frequent the local dog park and go on walks and would be happy to bring your pup along during their stays! We overall love to spoil our dog and she is always looking for a playmate! I am currently unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays due to childcare issues. I am available most other days and times for walks and drop in visits I have the most loving fur baby to keep your dog company! She loves other dogs and is very sweet and submissive and our house is already pup proof so that’s a plus!

“Yetzani was right on time and took instructions on the area very well. She was sweet and polite and was good with my dog. She made my life that much easier as I’ve been unable to go out and get him a good walk. Thx much to Zetzani for being available.”

“Quyanna does an excellent job, Suka gets a lot of exercise during his time with her.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my experience with a wide variety of breeds and care needs. I’ve worked with and loved dogs of all kinds, including corgis, labs, retrievers, pomeranians, pointers, greyhounds, doodles, mountain dogs, and more. This range has made me comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines—whether that’s keeping a high-energy dog engaged or helping a shy dog feel safe. I’ve also fostered 17 kittens, often caring for 2–4 at a time, which has given me hands-on experience with socialization, feeding schedules, litter training, and early behavior needs. In high school, I adopted a senior cat and regularly administered her medications and prescribed fluids, so I’m confident handling senior care and basic medical routines. Overall, I’m patient, responsible, and adaptable—and I tailor my care to each pet, whether they need puppy training basics, extra exercise, or gentle senior support. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, even while I’m a full-time student and work part-time. I plan my classes and work shifts so I still have consistent availability for morning, evening, and weekend care. I’m very organized, so it’s easy for me to build in time for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and any special routines pets need. My schedule is flexible, and I’m reliable about sticking to whatever routine your pet is used to. Whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins between classes, or overnight stays, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and clear communication. I always follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, medications, and play to keep their environment stable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I double-check instructions for things like food amounts, outdoor rules, and any medical needs. I keep the home clean and treat it with respect, and I send regular updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and safe in the space they already know best.

About: We have both been around and owned dogs since we were kids. I worked in a vet clinic from the time I was 14 all throughout high school. I also worked with a dog groomer for a few summers. I am an Animal Behavior College certified Dog Trainer as well as a wildlife biologist. Let's just say I love animals!! We are cat lovers too and would be more than happy to care for them also! We would provide the same level care for your pets as you do. We like to treat them like a member of our family and hope that they enjoy their time with us so much that they hardly know you are away. We know it is an honor and a privilege to be trusted with caring for your fury family member and we take that seriously and strive to never disappoint. I currently work from home for my main career as a Spatial Data Analyst (wildlife related). Your pet would have someone around aside from the occasional trip to the store or other errand. I will always communicate openly about my schedule during your visit so you are aware of any times I may have to be out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard and a 4-year-old Great Dane to keep your dog company! Thus, for stays in my home your dog must be dog-friendly, non-aggressive, and not afraid of large breeds. I also have four cats. I do have a doggie gate that keeps the cats separated, but one of them can jump the gate as she likes to sit on top of the kitchen cupboards and observe. Aaron and I have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They both have been around dogs their entire lives and are very used to respecting their space and letting dogs warm up to them. With that said, they are still kids. So for stays in our home, your dog will have to be good with other dogs, young kids, and cats. For stays in your home, your dog ideally will be okay with kids but my kids don't always need to come with depending on the dates of the stay.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life currently have 2 and I take upmost care to make sure the animals in my care are happy healthy and safe I work 2 to 3 days a week at a care home but I am free most of the week. To walk play and take care of your furry family members I have an unfensed yard but have plenty of time to take them for walks and go to the park with them. I have 2 other dogs both can be kept separately or can be playful companions to your pups

About: I’ve had cats, horses, and dogs all my life, specifically high energy border collies. I grew up being a house sitting for family friends with animals ranging from cats, dogs, fish, horses, goats, and llamas. I love animals and believe pets are members of the family! I will absolutely care for your pets as if they were my own :) I work full time 4 days a week but have flexibility and the ability to commute wherever I am needed. I can dedicate time on my days of to pet sitting! I can’t do any boarding or bringing your pets to my home but I do have lots of experience with high energy pups and all sorts of routines!

About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I started dog sitting at the age of 10 and have worked with a variety of breeds. I have personal experience with puppies and mid-aged dogs. I’m currently available mornings and evenings, and occasionally midday, for pet walks. I enjoy walking around the neighborhoods, parks, and trails around Prineville. I keep an eye out for hazards like snakes and bad water and always clean up after potty time. I always keep my pets on a leash or e collar (if trained). I use loose lead walking techniques (no pulling), and train dogs to stop at intersections. We are generally in areas with little to moderate use.
