Dog Walking Ostrander

“I cannot recommend Joyce more! She was able to accommodate my last minute dog walking request after a family emergency. She is fantastic and I will definitely continue to ask Joyce back for all of my dog and cat services!”

About: I have loved cat and dogs since I was 5, I have taken care of them since I was about 6. I love animals and want to make sure that they feel loved and safe when I am with them. Though I am a full time student in college, I am able to take care of animals as often as needed. Your fur baby is my priority. I have 3 cats in my home. One is very child-like (loves to be held like an infant), another wants you to play toss-the-toy as often as possible, and another is food-obsessed. All are indoors. I give them all love when they ask for it. They are fed twice a day. Litter boxes are changed every other day. I used to have a pupper, but she passed away back in 2020. I fed her special cancer-fighting foods (safe for dogs) daily, took her on walks/daily outings, provided lots of fetch/toy time, and maintained daily fur/skin care routines. Your baby is safe with me; they will be well-loved and looked after!

About: My saying is always “your pets are my pets” because I do truly believe all critters deserve the same amount of love, respect and compassion I grew up on a horse boarding ranch so I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals throughout my life.(: I work 4 1/2 days a week and would love to spend my days off helping others by taking care of their pets while they are away. I have a fully fenced yard and live a very active lifestyle so if your pet needs extra exercise, I would love to take them for walks, runs, hikes or just playing fetch in the backyard!

About: I have had pets all my life; dogs, cats and many others as well! I am a lover of all pets and I am well versed in caring for them as well! I have owned and raised all ages of dogs and cats since I was young, so I am very comfortable with all ages, sizes, and species! I am an incoming college student currently on summer break with early morning practices so the entire rest of my days are primarily open and free to help take care of your furry friends! Daily, I have my own animals to take care of, but I am here to help and offer some assistance in making sure your pets are safe and getting all the care you want them to have. I am very respectful of the safety precautions and environment that you would want for your pets, I find it very important to understand and uniquely cater to the needs of your furry, scaley, or feathery friends. Just like us all pets are different and I will happily take on the responsibility to carefully and safely watch over, take care of, and play with your beloved pets. I would love to hear any specific instructions or suggestions for your pets so I can ensure I am providing all that they need, I can use my own knowledge, but ultimately you know your loved ones best!

About: I've had all kinds of animals my entire life, and now working on teaching the importance of responsibility and love for our four-legged fur friends to my own little boy! Looking for a way to connect with my community and help with those who need their fur babies! I work part time at a coffee shop and have to be home early mornings and late afternoon for my son but am flexible! With proper communication, I can make what works best for your pup, work for me too! Mid-day check ins and walks are usually great, but don't be afraid to reach out and share what you're needing! The best place for a pup is their home! I can ensure that your dog's space will stay tidy and fresh! I think it's so important that each animal has a comfortable, safe and seperate place to lay, to eat, to play and to do their business!

About: I grew up on a rural farm, so animal care is no stranger to me! I was also an active participant in 4-H and FFA. I love caring for peoples' fur babies. I have several references as well. I just moved to Kelso and I am staying with family. I'd love to spend time caring for animals and enjoying them. I currently dont have a day job as I just moved, so I have a lot of free time! I am great at following care plans and am very deta oriented. Your animals are safe and sound with me! I frequently am told that I give the animals around me TOO much love.

“Amazing with animals! My dog is very hesitant with new people and shy, but Kate helped her work around this and they had a great walk together. Will book again!”

About: I have been around all types of breeds, sizes, and temperament all my life. I have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I have trained dogs with basic commands, walked, fed, bathed, and e-collar trained with many pets including my own. I house sit often for family friends, including their furry friends. I am currently in-between jobs and am looking to earn money doing something I love! I have my own car, and as I search for a new position lots of free time to care for pets or your home. I have had multiple family dogs, and cats throughout my life and they truly make my life full! I also treat my own and other pets and space with respect and love. I understand every pet has different needs and am always willing to understand to provide the best care possible!

“I cannot brag enough!!! The amount of professionalism and care is top notch. The boys love her, and her communication is amazing, Highly recommend and would provide a reference any time!!!”

“Hannah is very reliable and accommodating of our crew’s individual needs. I really appreciate her communication and consistency! It’s so hard to find people you can trust with your animals, but Hannah is definitely one of the good ones!”

About: My friends and family have come to me over the years to assist with problem behaviors and care for their pets. I have 3 dogs of my own that are apart of my family, they are 2 pugs and a Newfoundland so I have years of personal experience working with small and large dogs. I hope you choose me to assist with the care of your furry loved one, and become someone you can trust to enhance your animals life and give the care that our animals deserve. I have a lot of experience working with my own dogs and in a kennel that requires 24/7 care. I provide daily exercise and care for my 3 dogs. I can provide care by providing activities of physical and mental exercises inside and outside the home to basic care of feeding and letting out to go to the bathroom. I am experienced with walking and training dogs, and I also love to just hang out with an animal for their entertainment (if you find yourself talking to your pet like a human then I’m the perfect person for you - I’m pretty sure my pups can understand everything I say to them & they talk back in their own way). I have dealt with animals who eat anything that’s up for grabs to a very specific diet. I understand the importance of routine for our animals and will respect what you need for your pet. For special care - If you need to make a very detailed list I would love for you to share with me and know it will be followed. I am comfortable and familiar with oral medications from puppies/dogs at the rescue I worked at and dogs of my own. My pugs are higher maintenance so I am familiar with medications administered by mouth, ears, and eyes. I also love to brush and maintain animals fur/coats, it is really a good way to bond if your animal is comfortable with it. I am currently going through a grooming course, and I have experience of my own from my personal dogs and working with puppies/dogs at the rescue. This includes working with animals that do not like or are new to grooming. I am mainly experienced with simple brushing and bathing, so I will stick to that level for now and I hope to be a groomer in the future once I’ve gone through my course and gained experience. You don’t have to worry about coming home to a fresh bob cut on your pet, luckily I have dogs of my own to practice on for now! If you would like me to brush out your dog and bathe them then let me know!

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

“Emily.first great impression! Direct, confident, and quite obviously, thank goodness knows her stuff.”

“Mikki was great with our pup! It felt good knowing our baby was in good hands, and being taken on nice long walks. She was also very kind to our kitten. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up after our pup had an accident, when we never required it of her. Will definitely be using her services again ?”

About: I have adored and cared for dogs ever since I was a young girl. Friends and family members have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and love on their pets. I am currently doing freelance work in the PDX area. My schedule is open and flexible to accommodate your pet care needs. On weekdays my dog, Chorizo and I spend two hours at the dog in the A.M. or go on a long hike. I’d love to bring your pup along! I currently have a large fenced backyard and a 1 year old Blue Heeler who will keep your pup energized and engaged! Our home is full of treats, puzzles, and activities that will make any dog smile.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Being in the army I also get called to take care of my friends pets when they were out of town for leave. I like rover because it’s an easy side hustle and I love dogs AND cats I have work in clatskanie from 7-5:30 M-F and on Saturday I work 7-3. I can be available before and after those times. And depending on your comfort level I may take your dog with me on Sunday hikes. I get a full understanding of the owner’s expectations with me and there pet in there home when they are out of town. I try to make constant communication with the owner too.

“Ian was fantastic! He was prompt, polite, and great with the dogs. He was also flexible with minor time changes when requested.”

About: ** vaccinated** I have always grown up with dogs! We used to foster shelter dogs when I was younger. My family and I would have to leash train, potty train, social train and live train these dogs. I love watching a pup turn into something cuddly and loving. I walk everyday since I work from home now and I do not currently own a dog as I live in an apartment. I thought this would be the best of both worlds for me and for you! I hike every Saturday and if you would like your pet to join on a scenic car ride and go on a nice nature walk, I’d be more than happy! All animals no matter what, breed, what disability, or anything under a negative belt deserve love and affection and to be treated properly and have all needs taken care of. They can’t speak so let’s speak for them and treat them nicely and give them the outside life plus also the inside love. Cuddles, back scratches, treats, anything that shows affection to our animals is how I go about my day today.

“Erin is very professional and has excellent communication skills. She truly cares for animals and it shows in how she conducts business. I highly recommend Erin and will use her services anytime.”
