Dog Walking Overlook

About: Hi ✨ I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience—from high-energy athletes to seniors requiring a gentler pace. Having lived with a sassy Shih Tzu and a spry Goldendoodle, I’ve learned that every pet has distinct needs that require a patient, observant eye. I believe the best walks come from maintaining the consistency of your dog’s established outdoor routine. Whether it’s navigating a favorite neighborhood route, practicing consistent leash manners, or ensuring they get the specific physical engagement they need, I’ll care for your pup with the same devotion I’d give my own. I’m a Product Designer currently taking a career break, which means I have the unique advantage of a completely flexible schedule. I can offer consistent, reliable morning or midday walks to keep your furry friends happy and stress-free while you’re busy. My schedule is always up-to-date, so you can rest assured that when you see a green light on my calendar, I am truly available and ready to prioritize your pet’s routine. I’m happy to stick to your pup's favorite neighborhood routes or head to a nearby local park if they prefer a bit more open space for their stroll. I’m an active walker and love ensuring they get the specific physical engagement they need to come home happy and exercised.

“Happy Puppies! Thank you.”

About: I was raised as an animal lover in a home with two dogs, two cats, and one bearded dragon! My appreciation extends to creatures great and small -- I have performed some light farm-sitting. I have pet & house-sat since highschool and I feel comfortable and confident with: large dogs, reactive dogs, pets with special medication needs, and skittish or hostile cats. I want to make sure your pet is getting the care they need from me; I can give pets and comfort to a senior kitty, or make sure your pup has sniffed everything in a one mile radius! I'm currently working part time and I should have flexible availability for what service you're looking for. Please feel free to message me about any specifics you have questions about! I want to ensure your pet's routine stays as close to usual as possible so they are happy and healthy! When I've cared for reactive dogs, I did my best to walk routes that avoided potential triggers. To follow medication schedules, I will try my hardest to trick even the most suspicious pet into taking their medicine. I will take care of your pet as you'd like me to!

“We are so glad to have Emma as part of our pack. Lucy is very lucky to have her care and love. Emma was on time, very communicative and took perfect care of Lucy.”

“Can't thank you enough for your visit with my girls. Much appreciated”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

“Phoebe did an amazing job with my husky and Great Pyrenees, who can both be difficult. I was anxious to ask for help but Phoebe was so kind, patient and attentive. She relieved me of so much stress and took phenomenal care of my pups. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

“Dissaya and Young were some of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. They took the greatest pictures that showed us how our pets were doing and let us know of any problems that our pets had. I would recommend them for all your pets needs and look forward to booking them again.”

Brian K.

“Alex is so reliable, so good with my dogs and always reachable. I hire him every time I have to leave my fur babies and know they are good hands.”

Dawn M.

“Annika is fantastic. Our dog Wray, who suffers from separation anxiety, loves her and has stopped having accidents in the house since Annika has been walking her. She is extremely reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”

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: My name is Bri. I'm currently a student at Portland State University. I'm studying Arts and Letters and am looking forward to graduating in the next year. With the exception of this current year, I've lived with a dog all my life. I am without a doubt a "dog person". As a child, one of my favorite memories was talking my dog for a run around the neighborhood. I would ride my bike and let me dog run along with me. Most of my experience is working with big dogs, but i believe little dogs are great too! I'm looking forward to working as a dog walker because of the flexible schedule. I'm in class on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the time I'm not in class I can spend walking dogs.

“Carissa was awesome- she immediately connected with Hank and he absolutely loved her time with her. Will definitely be working with her again 💙🐶”

About: I love animals and animals love me, so I’m here to meet as many of them as possible and build lasting friendships. 🥰 A true PNW girl at heart, and proud Oregonian - I’m always excited to get out and enjoy the fresh air, rain or shine! 🌲🌊 I live in the Eliot neighborhood, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, and a whole lotta love to give all the babies. When I’m not busy loving on Rover clients or my own cool cat, Anubis, I run around on a farm with two 120lb Catahoula Leopard/American Bulldogs! 🐕🚜👩‍🌾 Please reach out for any and all requests - my goal is to be of service and to help you provide the best care for your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you soon! 💕 P.S.: I have a talent for taking truly great photos. 🤩 I have a mostly open schedule and I’m currently looking to meet & spend time with all the fur babies! I would love to be part of your family’s steady routine in helping to care for your loved ones on a regular basis, and I’m open to consistent recurring visits, day & night sitting, occasional hangouts, or even urgent/short notice drop-in appointments. I will always tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs; their safety, well-being and happiness are my top priority, and as a pet parent myself, I am devoted to providing the highest quality care for your family. I sincerely value the trust placed in me with your babies!

About: I adore all animals, available for drop-ins, walks, and puppy play dates with my dog. I’m currently self-training a wonderful psychiatric service dog, Sobek (still in training). Together we have taken a large number of classes, passed the CGC, volunteered with Oregon Humane Training, canine PT, and had a whole lot of fun along the way. I am familiar with positive reenforcement, force free, settle training, crate training, socialization, clicker training, agility and capturing calm behaviors. I have experience with animals who have mild to moderate mobility issues, puppies, senior and special needs, safe stretching/activity monitoring, and reactive body language. *I am not a certified trainer* but I hope to be one day. I’m happy to answer any questions or assist you on your journey, teach your dog a thing or two, or point you to my many trusted local resources. Inclusivity, flexibility, and honesty are some of my main core values. I am honest about my availability, knowledge and conduct. I’m also a former pro photographer and bound to take many cute photos. They/them, queer/trans affirming. I work from home so I am flexible depending on my meetings. I am available late afternoons and evenings unless otherwise noted in my schedule. I’m fairly organized and pet-proof my own home. I always treat other’s homes as if they were my own, meaning I pack out what I pack in and respect the boundaries of humans and pets who live there.

“Michael was great with the energy of our big lab, and he was easy to plan and communicate with. We had a happy, nicely tired-out pup after their time together, which is JUST what we needed. Many thanks to Michael.”
