Dog Walking Pratum

About: Hi, I’m Kira! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a bit of a knack for making friends with them. 😂 I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, along with birds, chickens, chinchillas, turtles, frogs, fish, and lizards. Basically, if it has four legs, feathers, scales, or a tail, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve cared for one! I currently have an 11-year-old Husky who is my world, and I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk and some exercise, a potty break, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and enjoyable while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. ❤️🐾 Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and give each pet the personalized, one-on-one care they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual — because they all have their own little personalities! When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would expect in my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep safety a priority, and make sure your pets receive the care, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I’m also fully insured, giving you added peace of mind while your pets are in my care. ❤️

About: I've been called a dog whisperer too many times to count! I absolutely love dogs, cats, and other furry or feathered friends. I grew up with guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I'm experienced in cage-cleaning, play time, giving medication, walking, and light training. I have pet-sat for several dogs, cats, and smaller friends. I highly respect any rules or training routines you and your fur babies adhere to. As long as I have clear instructions, I will stick to your guidelines. I have friends whose dogs have high-maintenance routines, and I know how awful it is when someone else interferes with those routines. I will love your pets like my own, but I will absolutely follow whatever expectations you set. I have flexible availability this summer. I am a student in an accelerated degree program for elementary education. I have July and August off, which allows me lots of time to become your pets' new bestie! I can care for pets in your home. If you are in need of any other cleaning or home services when I visit or stay at your home, that can be arranged. I also believe in leaving things better than I found them. You won't even know I was there!

“Thank you, Erin! Amazing job with walking my pup. Always on time. Very effective communication, with me and my dog. Made me feel very comfortable with pick ups and drop offs. Flexible if we had to use a different pick up method. My dog tested Erin and Erin did great to keep my dog focused. She played with her and used our commands. Absolutely would book again. Amazing. Thank you!!”

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!

About: I've taken care of pets, both my own fur babies and those of loved ones, my whole life! Whether it's walking your puppy during a long work day or making sure that your senior cat gets their medication on time when you're out of town, whether it's playing with your teacup Chihuahua or your giant mastiff mix, I am well versed in pet care and understand that while life may make demands on our time, that our furry friends still deserve uncompromised love and attention. I am currently not working and am currently seeking part time employment, so my schedule is fully open! I can help make sure that your pets get what they need at the times that work best for your routines. I have considerable experience working with and being around cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and care needs! Whether it's a little dog with a big personality, a gentle giant dog, a lazy cat, or an active kitten, you can rely on me to stay calm and steady to provide the best possible care for your animals and to meet them where they're at in terms of need for engagement and activity.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

“Trevor was great! Edith loved him and he did a great job getting good walks for her. She can be a difficult girl but he became her best friend by the end of their first walk and she would wait for him by the door.”

“Kayla was amazing! She walked both of our schnauzers and learned their individual personalities immediately. One of my dogs was sick when I left and Kayla was very communicative which relieved much of my stress. We will most definitely be using Kayla in the future!”

About: I’ve pet sat for over 10 years for friends & family. I’d love to care for yours. I have two tabby’s who are well trained and have been around dogs in the past. My pup unfortunately passed away last summer and I’m not ready to get on full time but would love to care for yours as I cared for her and give them the best experience while you’re away. I have the weekend free, Columbia and I tend to go on hikes and or at the park. During the week, I go home directly to let my own dog out to the bathroom. I will follow any instructions following your pet. I understand how important consistency is. We have a side yard for playing, potty breaks or sunbathing.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one—from growing up with dogs, cats, horses, and livestock to working as a dog groomer every summer for five years. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pups who need a little extra care. I’m confident with bathing, grooming, and administering medication when needed. I have a rescue dog of my own (Tina!), and we love long walks, fresh air, and new adventures. I know firsthand how stressful it can be trying to find the right person to care for your pets - that's why I go above and beyond to give my clients peace of mind! A quick note about booking requests 🐾 If I’m your 1st choice sitter, please send your request to me first! Rover may prompt you to contact 2–3 sitters at once, but this is not required. If another sitter books the request before I have a chance to respond, I’m forced to archive it — which can negatively impact my sitter metrics and where my profile appears in Rover’s search algorithm, even though I was your first choice. Please be patient & allow 24–48 hours for me to review and respond to new requests, especially for overnight stays, and note if it is a time-sensitive request. I really appreciate it! 💛 I work remotely from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day—even for last-minute bookings. Thank you! In your home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. I also keep your home tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away!

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

About: Hi! I'm Shealee, and I've always had a heart for animals. I've been around animals for most of my life, and my love for caring for them eventually led me to work as an Animal Care Attendant at an animal hospital that offered hospital care, daycare, and boarding services. In that role, I cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My responsibilities included preparing meals, taking pets on potty breaks, maintaining a clean and safe environment, supervising daycare playgroups, and caring for boarding pets while closely monitoring their health, behavior, and comfort. This experience taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and adaptability are because every pet has unique needs. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll care for them with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently working two part-time jobs, and as I transition out of one of them, my schedule will mainly be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On Mondays and Fridays, I am free any time in the morning up until 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. As a prior ACA, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I maintain clean spaces, follow detailed care instructions, and communicate consistently to ensure peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout my life and have personally adopted 6 dogs, 5 rats, 1 cat, and even a chinchilla—each one bringing joy and unforgettable memories. Currently, I share my home with my sweet pup, Xena. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have strong knowledge of dog training, behavior, and wellness, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs or special quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or structured care, your dog will be in loving, capable hands with me. I currently work full time but I live very close to my work so I am home at lunch time to check on things and give a potty break. I have no long commute or traffic to worry about. On the weekends, I stay in the area or take pups out for hikes! Boarding: To introduce, your pup will have an entire room gated off with a baby gate to acclimate to the new environment. Then, your pup will be welcomed to explore the home.

About: Hello fellow fur-parents! 🐾 My name is Alivia, but most call me Lu. 👋🏻 If you’re looking for a dedicated, experienced caregiver for your beloved pet, I’m here to help. With over 15 years of experience owning, fostering, and providing care for a wide range of pets, I bring both passion and expertise to every interaction. Most recently, I worked as a Behavioral Consultant at a local Pet Hospital for four years before transitioning to in-home care services. Thanks to support from family, I have the flexibility to offer specialized, reliable pet care services. As a PSI (Pet Sitter International) Certified provider, I’m open for bookings and offer a variety of services tailored to pets of all sizes, types, and temperaments. While I’m not currently offering boarding, I’m happy to come to you and prioritize a clean, safe, and stimulating environment for your pet. Every service is personalized to meet your pet’s specific needs, and I’ll keep you updated with a detailed report after each visit. Communication is essential, so please feel free to reach out with any questions as we plan the perfect care for your pet. I'm happy to help, and I look forward to providing you and your pet with well deserved exceptional care. Warm regards, Alivia (Lu) 🐾 I am fortunate enough to be an in-home aid for my mother, along side my two sisters, making my schedule extremely flexible. I am here to work around the Clients schedule, not my own. Each service is personalized and catered to your pets needs, wants and boundaries. Pets will be returned to the care of their owner & given a summary of services provided, behavior while being serviced & any other necessary information regarding your pets experience. It is important to me to keep owners as involved & updated as possible.

About: Have 5+ dogs? Energetic kiddos that could benefit from mental stimulation? Couch potatoes that just want love and affection? All of the above? Whatever the case may be, you can rest assured that I will give your baby(ies) the best care and attention I have to give. I worked at a sanctuary for nearly two years and had the pleasure of working with a large pack of dogs. Working and caring for 50+ dogs at a time takes a different kind of attention and patience that definitely took time to learn, but I loved every second of it. I have experience with quite the variety of different dogs. From XS to XL, newborn to senior, fearful to aggressive, anxious to energetic, I’ve seen it all. I can also give medications if necessary, do a basic groom, and basic training. I’m also very comfortable with cats. Aside from having some myself for 8 years, I love learning about a new cat and understanding its habits/personality. I truly love all animals and creatures and am very open to helping care for any other pets you may have. Currently my only job is to be a dog & cat mom so my schedule is very flexible. Aside from recurring appointments that I attend, I’m open to working with what works best for you. I can work with any form of care that you give your babies. Every pet is unique and I can definitely switch gears depending on their personality and if they have specific needs.

“We love Whitney, but, more importantly, our dog does! He's a bit skittish and slow to warm up to new people, but he looks forward to his daily walks with her (I can tell because he gets depressed on weekends when she's not there ;) ) She's reliable and quick to communicate, and we trust her with Bismarck.”

About: I've always had a love for animals and have had an animal in my life since I was a child. They truly are a joy and are so sweet, smart, and intuitive! I don't currently have my own fur baby which makes Rover such a great experience. I enjoy meeting all the different and new friends. ;) Animals aren't just pets they are a part of the family and need the same love and care. When I care for your fur babies I always hope to provide a positive and loving experience for them while you're away. I’ve been with Rover and doing Animal care professionally for a little over two years. If you’re looking for a pet nanny to give some extra love and care I’m your gal! :) My schedule is very flexible as I am self employed. So this allows me to be available for extra love and all your pet care needs :) I know it can be a little nerve wracking for your pets or you as a pet owners to leave your pets (and home) alone especially with someone new! I hope to make a calm and joyful experience for your fur babies especially if they have separation anxiety. I can give as much love, care, and play time needed to soothe these moments. All animals are different and I like to cater to that. Getting a new babysitter can be off putting for anyone… haha I feel animals are more comfortable when they get to stay in their own environment instead of having to acclimate to new spaces and energy. During the stay I will provide lots of fun photo updates so you can stay up to date on all of our adventures and cuddle moments! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!

“Thank you for providing great care for buddy and dolly!”

About: I’m a veterinary technician with experience in both small and large animal care, and I spent four years rescuing and fostering animals. In my free time I do TNR for feral cats and walk shelter dogs. I provide calm, attentive care, and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I minored in Human-Animal Relations and can read animal body language very well. I have a hugeeee focus on safety and will never put your pet in an unsafe situation. Mostly, I am just a huge animal lover. Getting to take care of your pet will be a treat for me. My favorite breed of dog is either a pitbull or a corgi. But my favorite animal is a cat :) I am a recent college graduate trying to start a business and would love to do this as a break whenever I can! I have a flexible schedule because of this. I have a large yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play. My property includes both fenced and unfenced areas, so I can safely supervise pets in a variety of settings.
