About: Growing up with neighbors who had 12 dogs and 7 cats I had the privilege to help walk, feed, bathe, and watch pets at a very young age! Learning how to care for animals so young has helped me learn to be responsible and loving to them all! I have 2 dogs of my own that I love with my whole heart! They’re both loving, sharp and eager to learn new things! After a year long training course with them I am happy to share what I learned and help others train their pups! As a stay at home mom to my toddler I am almost always available! The flexibility of my schedule and the love of animals I have is what I believe will make me the perfect candidate to help you with your furry babies! I have a fenced backyard allowing your pet the space they may require to run, play and take potty breaks! I have 2 very friendly dogs who love to meet new friends but can also kennel them during your pets stay if needed! If you only need walking I am happy to help walk or even run as far/long as necessary to keep your pup happy!

About: I have been passionate about animals all my life as well as a dedicated pet parent. Currently sharing a home with my boy Pecos Bill a German shepherd/husky mix. I have gained experience in understanding animal behaviors, managing dietary needs, administering medication, and training through caring for my own pets throughout life. I love being around pets due to their playful spirits and heartwarming loyalty, finding joy and satisfaction in providing a loving environment and ensuring pets feel safe and loved. I am typically available during the day, I am a mom with school age kids so as long as I can work around their school I’m available! By prioritizing the pet's physical and emotional well-being, and by maintaining open communication with the pet owner is how I will provide a positive and safe experience for both pet and owner.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.

About: I have been in love with animals since I was a baby. I grew up in a dog loving household. I have always had pets as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, turtles, mice, fish, hermit crabs. My goal is to one day have a goat and a pig as well. I worked in a pet store that wolf puppies for 3 years and my primary job there was to take care of the puppies and to teach the perspective new families to potty train their new babies and what to expect for their specific breeds. I have also helped my parents train all of their dogs and sit for them when on vacation. It’s a full house but I love it. I currently work but have time in the afternoons and weekends to walk or check on your fur babies and let them go outside and play or just stretch their legs out of the kennel, whatever the needs may be. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play and a very friendly playful golden doodle that loves new friends. He gets along with all sizes and ages of dogs. My families dogs range from 3 lb yorkie to 90 lb golden doodle and a few in between. My baby is in his bedroom (kennel) when we are not home, one of my parents dogs does not require a kennel when we are not there so I do not require it as long as they are potty trained and do not chew.

About: I provide more than basic pet sitting—I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I take the time to build trust with every animal, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to established feeding and walking schedules. I communicate clearly with owners so they always know their pet is safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is for pets to feel secure and loved in their own home, and for owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away. I attend Texas A&M University Corpus Christi and get out of classes early so I can attend to your pets in the middle of the day when you are at your busiest. I respect the home and pace at which dogs like to walk. I also use whatever is provided to make sure the pet feels safe and at home.

About: Hi! I’m Amber, and caring for animals is something I truly love, not just a side job. I have experience with many animals of all sizes and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and cuddly, I adjust my care to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and communicative and you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while your pet is with me. I will have time available before and after work for drop in visits. I have a pretty flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your requested times! I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment, whether that’s in my home or yours. I know being around a new person or in a new place can be stressful, so I take things slow and let your pet warm up to me at their own pace. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep things familiar and stress free. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they always feel secure. My goal is to create a trusting, calm environment where your pet feels right at home.

About: I have been pet sitting for many years. My clients are always super pleased with my care giving. I have two dogs in my home that are spoiled rotten. My love for animals began at a very young age. Caring for animals is my specialty. I am very flexible with dates and times. I will clean up after the pups and take care as if they were my own. I have worked at a kennel as the only employee caring and cleaning up after 100+ dogs so don't worry if you have a crazy pup or a dog that needs medication or special care, I am capable of any type of care needed. I have seen it all! My main goal is to gain trust with my clients and ensure clients to hire me again! My schedule is very flexible. I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to watch and care for your pets around the clock. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly golden retriever pup. My house also allows enough space to separate my pup if there were to be any concerns. Also have children who respect and are caring towards all animals.

About: I will share plenty of QT with your pet/pets, walking, playing, grooming and other special considerations❤️ About this sitter: Hi, Caring for my own pets over the years dogs, cats, horses, birds, bunnies, and more I know and understand the worry and concern of leaving them for even a short time. I want to offer you complete peace of mind that you are leaving them safe, happy and loved with someone who truly cares. I would love to care for your furry ones if your not able or need care for them while your away. From walking to drop in services I would be happy to be a part of your fur babies life as your caretaker. I currently own 3 mini Schnauzers (Pandora, Gypsy and Sunshine) who are very precious to me. I also have had and cared for many animals though out my lifetime. I am a fur baby fanatic who is willing to give the same devotion I give my own to your kiddos while your away. I am also a certified Vet Assistant. Why I love dog sitting I love not only dogs but many different animals. My experience administering medication I have a background as a certified Vet Assistant and have administered meds before for a pet daycare facility in Houston. Therefore if the pet does not get to aggressive I do not mind this action at all. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding this subject. I will be more then happy to try to accommodate your needs. A whole lot of lovins, playtime, walking food and snackies. Me and my 3 fur kids enjoy making new friends, sharing space and having fun. Note: Medium to large dogs especially if they are anxious will be crated while I am out of the house for drop-ins and errands. This is for the safety of your pets and mine. I am generally gone for less then an hour or two but occasionally time away can be up to 4 hrs. I prefer pets that are crate trained for they find crates safe and comfy opposed to punishment. I just like to have this noted to be fair and honest. I absolutely need a meet with the larger dogs to be sure we are a good fit. I am always available for the tiny-medium dogs 🐕 🙂

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.

About: I am a trust worthy selflessness responsible mother, so I supply love and attention to your fur babies with friendly service as we all deserve to have. When It's my time to be responsible for your babies, they are always on my mind and they are my first priority when I'm off work. I'm a Substitute Teacher for the Ingleside ISD. My free time is spent with family and art. Usual days are cleaning, cooking, running errands, and picking my children up from school. Unfortunately I no longer have pets in my home due to personal reasons. They were well loved and at liberty. I would spend some of my time with them going on cruises, getting pup cups, and playing with their toys.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Portland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Portland on Rover is $12.84 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 338 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Portland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Portland.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Portland. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
