About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Alison and Tom have walked my dog a few times- they are excellent communicators, always send pictures- I can tell Oliver is well loved when he is in their care.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, energetic dogs—and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I help walk and spend time with dogs waiting for their forever homes. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I also love sending updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work in the clinic four days a week, but I’m available on Thursdays and weekends. During those times, I’m able to dedicate my attention to walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so caring for pets fits perfectly into my schedule and allows me to give them the attention, exercise, and care they need I live in an apartment, so I make sure pets get outside regularly for walks, bathroom breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m dedicated to keeping pets active, engaged, and comfortable while they’re in my care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions.
“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”
“Teia was great. Cocoa looked very happy in the photos Teia sent. Cocoa got a nice long walk. Teia was great with communication too. And flexible with her schedule. Thank you Teia!”
“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! I grew up with several dogs, including a Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Husky, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around larger, energetic breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I currently have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I’d treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer stays as needed. Having two pets of my own also means caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care, so I always treat both with respect. I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable and keep their routine as familiar as possible while you’re away.
“Emma took great care of our dog on her drop in visit/walk! Our dog Hoku loves her and was so happy to see her. I trust Emma with my pets and it puts my mind at ease knowing they will be in great hands when we are away from home! She is so dependable, I will definitely continue to rebook her!”
“Bethany was awesome me and my husband were going to be away on A trip our Dog Booker was staying home with our parents but they weren’t going to be able to give him the required exercise he needed so we figured we would give a dog walker a go! Bethany should up everyday to our house on time and Booker was always excited to see her! Each walk came with a picture and report which was great! Would definitely use Bethany again!”
“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”
“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”
“I had a very positive experience with having Yana walk my two dogs. It has been a pleasure working with her. She truly seems like an empathetic animal lover. She walked my two large dogs over the weekend and I was impressed with how their walks with her noticeably improved their demeanor.”
“Sarah is the BEST! Caring and considerate and just an amazing dog person. 1st time doing this and wasn’t sure how it was going to work. Sarah was super helpful and we ended adding more walks to the schedule while we were gone. I love all the pictures! She takes great photos and videos too. I feel very confident and at peace about leaving Zoey in Sarah’s care do the dog walks while we’re gone. Love her and do does Zoey!”
“Jessica is amazing! She has a special way with dogs, and our Knight took to her immediately!! You can tell she truly loves and cares about animals!!! From the treats and ball she brought on her first meet to the pictures of her visit she posted on Rover! Amazing! Will definitely use Jessica again!❤️”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and love to be around them. I am comfortable walking, boarding or pet sitting for large dogs, untrained dogs and reactive dogs. I am working just part time so am available sat-mon all day and just Tues-Friday I am available after 3:00. My husband starts work at noon so it is only 3 hours without someone home. (He is also a huge dog lover and is happy to meet anyone if that is uncomfortable to you). We love to board dogs because they get to come on adventures with us, we have met Santa, hiked waterfalls and so many other fun activities for pups. Please consider me for your dog care. 🦮 I am currently working part time and am available to board all days of the week and walks anytime expect for 7-3 on Tues-Friday. :) I am able to give any care that is regular at your home, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate. If you prefer your dog gets snuggles and love I’m happy to have them sleep in bed with me. Or anything else your pup or cat may need or want. Just communicate your routine and we can do the same.
About: I've owned and worked with animals my entire life! Anything from Mice and bugs to horses and dogs. I've worked at barns and as a dog trainer, even as far as being a grooming assistant at dog shows. I have experience caring for sick, chronically ill and senior animals as well, and am used to routine ear cleanings and pill-givings. I'm currently in school full-time and my classes vary Monday through Thursday. But don't fret! I still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies before and after classes. While I do not currently offer in-home boarding, I am fully capable of providing fun and consistent care for your furry friend in your humble abode. I've done many house visits over the years, ranging from hamsters to ponies!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh Hills
Erica is so amazing! Our little puppy was nervous the first few days, and Erica just sat and played with her until she was ready to go for a walk. I am continually impressed by Erica's intuition and how she goes above and beyond for our dog. You can really tell she cares!
Kerensa is awesome with pets and people. She gained the trust of my very anxious untrusting pitt mix so much that he was excited for her to come for his walks! She's very intuitive and makes sure your pups are safe and happy and adjusts as needed to make this so. I always know my bestie is in good hands, safe and happy with Kerensa when I have to be away.
Emma took great care of our dog on her drop in visit/walk! Our dog Hoku loves her and was so happy to see her. I trust Emma with my pets and it puts my mind at ease knowing they will be in great hands when we are away from home! She is so dependable, I will definitely continue to rebook her!
We’ve had an amazing experience with our dog walker! She is incredibly communicative, reliable, and truly goes the extra mile every time. Han and Chewie absolutely adore her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. She always sends lots of updates and pictures, which I really appreciate—it makes such a difference being able to see how happy and well cared for they are. While I was away, one of my dogs wasn’t feeling well, and she took extra care and attention to make sure he was comfortable and looked after. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely continue to use her!

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 Raleigh Hills. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Raleigh Hills. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
