Dog Walking Riverview

About: Gigi loves all the babies! I’m a cat & dog mom and Gigi to 3 grandkitties who live right next door. Would love to spend time with your little (or big) sweetheart too. Confident with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs, meds administration for dogs and cats, and am available for overnight care. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours so can easily work around your schedule. I’m available for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight care. I have a calm energy most animals welcome and I’m usually able to gain their trust early. Having raised 2 dogs and several cats through medical conditions and several moves, I’ve become very attuned to their body language which helps me to understand their needs and wants.

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule for those in the 98664/98683/98684 area. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

“Cora was great and gave my little guy plenty of love and company on a a little walk!!! Would happily use again!!!”

“Stella and I feel so fortunate that we have Jung as her dog walker! Finding a dog walker you can truly trust is so hard, but Jung made us feel completely at ease from the moment she stepped foot past the gate.Her vast experience and volunteer work with dogs is obvious in the way she handles Stella, paying close attention to every safety detail on their walks. Her communication is also top-notch—I always get wonderful photo updates and detailed summaries right after the walk. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring walker. Highly recommend Jung to any pet parent!”

About: I've always loved animals and knew I wanted to work with them in some capacity. Since I was a kid I've been pet sitting for neighbors, or friends/family and then I started walking dogs in college to make extra money. Now, I have 4 years expirence working with dogs and cats and the occasional ferret and sugar glider as a Veterinary Technician. Your fur baby(babies) will be in safe hands with me and I will love and care for them as my own. My availability is very open right now to walk, play with or stay with your pets, feel free to message me to set something up <3 I make sure everyone gets fed, has fresh clean water, I can medicate if needed, I love engaging in interactive play and taking doggos for walks! I have experience reading animal body language too so I know when to take it slower or let them come to me if they seem anxious.

“Marissa went above and beyond for my pup and my roommate's furbabies. Great communicator and extremely compassionate. Highly recommend and we will definitely be requesting marissa again!”

I treat every pet as if they were my own and take their care very seriously. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I also understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to give both the pet and their owner peace of mind! I’m a stay at home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your furry family members! I’m able to provide lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention throughout the day.

“Cassie, is amazing! Our dog gets soooo excited to see her when she comes. She has been so flexible and adaptive to our dogs needs. I know she is in good hands when we are away!!!”

“Michelle did an awesome job caring for Gambit! We had a medical scare the day we planned to drop our dog off with Michelle. Gambit had to have a quick surgery which resulted in him being drowsy, being prescribed medication and a patient after care routine. Although this wasn’t initially expected for Michelle to have to deal with when originally booked, she accepted the additional responsibility without question and was able to carry out the needed extra care without issue. This really helped reduce our stress and anxiety of our dog’s well being while we were out of town. If it was any other rover, we probably would have canceled our trip! Michelle is extremely responsive, punctual, nice and a joy to interact with. Would highly recommend!”

“Great dog walker and even better person. She made sure our pup got all the walking she needed and was able to schedule on short notice. Definitely a life saver in a pinch!”

About: I have taken care of elderly cats, sticking to a routine and administering saline treatment. I am energetic and fun for pets to be around. I'd love to take care of your pet while you're away and understand the importance of pictures and updates to know your best friend is safe and well cared for. I'm currently working full time as a sitter, dog walker and pet boarder. Focused on one pet boarding at a time. I only accept one pet/pet family at a time. I will take multiple pets but only from the same home. I have a fenced yard with space to run and play. I have one athletic and friendly dog, she is a 35 lb mixed breed who loves to chase balls, sticks and frisbees. She is friendly with other dogs, though cautious around large breeds, she warms up quickly. The backyard has easy access inside for all dogs, and water always available for pets.

“Good experience, and friendly communication”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I love animals so much, each is so unique! I have also done extensive dog training with my corgi for 3 years, she has anxiety and reactivity issues. So I’m well versed in those behaviors in animals! I am a pediatric nurse at Randalls in Portland. Rover is something I do on the side for fun because I enjoy it! I also just bought my first home so the extra income is very helpful. I am currently moving into my new home which is very spacious. I personally crate my dog at night, but let her roam inside during the day. I can follow whatever directions you need for your fur baby!

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

About: I have been been dog sitting since I was in high school and love it. I first started by watching some of my friend's family dogs and am now looking to expand to others! I have been trusted to walk dogs, feed, and I have even given medications and shots to dog so am familiar with caring for elderly/sick dogs. I have taken some of my own family's dogs to training programs so am familiar with standard dog training practices. I’m currently unemployed so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am free weekdays and weekends both day and night! Since I am not working at the moment, my schedule is very open and flexible. I live in an apartment building so don’t have a yard. I take my own dog on many walks a day and take him outside when needed. My own dog is not crate trained and is used to being out and roaming the house while we are at work. But he can also be closed in our bedroom to keep your dog comfortable, if needed.

About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have basic knowledge of training dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how important it is for dogs to have mental stimulation and no dog is too big or small. I work full time, but have lots of weekend availability that I'd love to spend with your pet! I do volunteering on the weekend, but can definitely do work arounds to make sure your loved one is cared for. I understand how sacred fur babies are to us and putting trust in a stranger can be scary. Its very important to me for dogs wear collars when going outside, even if just the back yard. I love routines will follow your pets normal routine in their environment. I will respect your home and property, strictly following any instructions provided.

About: Hi! I’m Cristie, a lifelong dog lover who genuinely believes dogs make just about everything better. I’m taking some time away from the corporate world and thought, what better way to spend part of my day than getting outside and hanging out with sweet dogs? I’d love to help busy pet parents by giving their pups the exercise, attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. I’m dependable, responsible, active, and very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk and lots of sniffing adventures or prefers a slower stroll with plenty of encouragement and belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own two, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates along the way. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3 pm and would love to shower your dog(s) with affection and a great outdoor adventure walk! Having 2 dogs myself, safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, including any preferences around walking, feeding, treats, medications, other dogs, or areas to avoid. When caring for a pet in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’m attentive about securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed, and watching their behavior and surroundings while we’re out. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've had a lot of experiences taking care of dogs and cats the maximum number I've taken care of is 3 dogs and 2 cats at one time! I enjoy going for walks and hikes and sometimes runs. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Im used to walking my chocolate lab and German Shepard, pitbull mix together. My German Shepard mix has a lot of anxiety and we have been working with a dog trainer and a behavioralist to work with his reactivity as well as his anxiety. I’m very comfortable with dogs with reactivity and anxiety as well as dogs that are big jumpers. I’ve dog sat for dogs such as chihuahuas, labs, border collies, beagles, pugs, springer spaniels, German Shepard’s and mutts. I have a lot of patience for dogs that are shy and take some time to warm up. I have experience using prong collars, gentle leads, and harnesses. I also have worked with many puppies in training and would be happy to implement any training methods you are using. I also love cats and have a lot of experience with shy and timid cats as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule and have plenty of times available for walks and drop in visits. I have 3 pets of my own though and can’t stay overnight or do boarding at my house. If your dog enjoys playing with other dogs I’m happy to bring my lab over she is great with other dogs. I am happy to accommodate any routine your pet may have to make them more comfortable on walks and drop in visits. I’m very used to shy dogs and cats that may need a little more space as well as super energetic ones.
