Dog Walking Rosedale

“We have been working with Ricky the last two years and he has been so wonderful with our two dogs. He has never missed a walk and will tell me weeks in advance if he has a conflict (which happens rarely). Our dogs love Ricky and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and friendly dog walker!”

About: I have had three dogs. This will be my second year of walking dogs during my " off season" from working on a small family farm on the outskirts of Salem. I have a fairly open schedule during the week. I have several places around town that allow for off leash walks away from other dogs if necessary. I would love to walk your dog or dogs. I work half the year on a small family farm, and the off season usually starts towards the end of October, leaving me with a lot of availability during the late fall and winter Having had three dogs myself, I am very comfortable with dog behavior, and potential hazards/ issues to watch out for. Can't wait to meet your dog / dogs.

“Our dogs love Megan, and she has been very accommodating, agreeing to meet several times with us present so our nervous guy Goose could get to know her. She took them for their first walk without us today and he did great with her.”

About: I have extensive experience raising dogs of all ages at various stages of life and health. I am passionate and enthusiastic about animal care, and I have a lot of time to devote to your pet. I am a full time student, but I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I’m available after 3pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday, after 2pm Tuesday/Thursday, and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will treat your pet and space with respect, dignity, and care. I am comfortable walking your pet and caring for it within your home.

About: I have provided walking and sitting services for dogs in my area for about eight years, and I owned cats and dogs for several years before that. I used to volunteer at the Willamette Humane Society as part of the Kennel Buddies program, providing companionship and socialization to dogs in their kennels. My sitting services include dog and cat care, as well as houseplant or outdoor plant care. I am also happy to provide drop-in sitting services. My schedule is currently flexible with some potential part time and gig work so I’m open to consider long and short term assignments each week. I am unfortunately unable to accommodate pets at my own home at this time, but I am happy to come to your home to watch over your furry friends!

“We just finished our first set of walks with Riley and our dog Sahdow is already in love. Knowing he’s availabile for midday walks makes me feel so much better about scheduling out of town travel.”

About: In my home, your pet’s safety and happiness are my absolute top priorities. I understand how hard it is to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I strive to provide a "home away from home" environment where they are never just another guest. ​I work from home full-time, meaning your pets will have constant companionship and supervision throughout the day. We are also incredibly lucky to have a 0.89-acre property that is entirely fenced, offering plenty of room for zoomies, sniffing, and sunbathing in a secure environment. I’m a seasoned multi-pet owner with multiple dogs and cats of my own, so I’m well-versed in managing different personalities and ensuring everyone gets along harmoniously. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into our pack! My Commitment to You: •Following your lead: I am highly respectful of the boundaries and routines you’ve established. I strictly follow all rules and guidelines you provide; whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, medication timing, or training commands. •Constant communication: You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I provide daily updates including videos and regular photos, keeping you connected to your pet’s adventures and giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. •Safety & fun: I balance active play and "zoomies" in my 0.89-acre fully fenced yard with a structured, safe environment indoors. •Full-time presence: Since I work from home full-time, I am available for constant supervision and companionship. I understand that every pet is unique, and I am committed to honoring your specific instructions to ensure their stay is seamless and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable and skilled at administering medications if needed. Very excited to meet your fluffy baby! I am a school resource connector and have summers and weekends off and would love to fill it with furry friends! I am very excited to take your dog on walks, run, hikes and even playdates with other dogs. I currently live in an apartment where dogs are not allowed so I am unable to do in-home care at my home right now. Free during most weekends and always try to keep my calendar updated here! Free for walks, hikes, playdates with my own dogs, and drop in visits during the weekend. I have had special needs animals of my own for 5+ years now and have been dog/cat sitting since the age of 12! I am experienced with animals of all temperaments!

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life small and large breeds. My love for animals is constantly growing and I even plan on getting into the medical field. I have worked in vet medicine for a little over 3 years and love my job more than anything. I have 2 cats of my own and have grown up with dogs as well! I’m currently going into my junior year of college and just moved up here to Salem. I am a student athlete and have flexible time in my schedule. I have worked with animals in multiple different environments and can help them with what they need. I know a lot of animals signs that can help with making them comfortable.

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 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!

About: I started on Rover back in 2018 boarding dogs in my home! Now I'm available to do drop in visits for dogs and cats. I have a cat of my own named Peach who is 5 now. Dogs and cats tend to like me, which is a plus! I work at a bank full time but looking to make extra money in my free time. I'm mostly available evenings after work and weekends! I work Mon-Fri but I'm available in the evenings after 5:30 pm. I have open availability on weekends at the moment. I have a lot of experience watching dogs in the past, whether it be for friends/family or clients on Rover. Recently, I've been doing drop ins for cats and I really enjoy it! When it comes to taking care of your pet in your own home, I think it best to tell me what needs to be done during the visit. Where food/supplies are, if they need to be put in a kennel before I leave, what their habits are like and what to look out for if anything. Everyone has different rules when it comes to their animals and I will be 100% respectful of your home and property.

About: I have either had or have taken care of dogs for 20 years. In the past I have had chihuahua, pug, beagle and spaniel mixes. All of my dogs have been under 30 lbs but I also love big dogs. I have helped friends and family care for their dogs as well and have had several overnight stays to assist them in caring for their dogs. I am very patient, compassionate, organized and attentive so you can be guaranteed my full attention will be on your precious dog in the time that I am with them. I am currently looking for work as an occupational therapist and will be available full time until that work is found. I don’t have a family right now so I am very open to a variety of schedules and needs. I will be readily available and present throughout the time I am with your pet. I am also willing to assist with weekend or overnight needs that you may have. I am happy to follow the structure that you would typically follow with your pet to encourage them to stay within a routine that you have for them. Your pet’s safety is the ultimate priority to me and I can guarantee I will be fully present during walks, stays, or taking out for breaks.

About: I enjoy spending time with animals. I'm really passionate about it and will care for any animal as if it were my own child. I'm an extroverted person who enjoys being helpful and kind to animals thus, I'm genuinely happiest when I get to take care of a pet. I can take care of your pet at any time of day because my other employment allows me to have a flexible schedule. All I ask is a 24-hour heads-up. I take care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, walking them, and providing for their needs. If necessary, I can even give them a bath. I also offer all animals my time, attention, and compassion.

About: I offer patient, attentive care, whether it's puppy training basics, administering medication, or providing gentle support for older pets.

I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time to your pet's needs, whether it's providing regular walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship throughout the day. I'm available every day of the week and can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate specific routines or requirements. Whether caring for pets in my apartment or a client's home, my approach is always centered on safety, comfort, and attentiveness. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions, respecting their routines and preferences. I'm experienced in adapting to different environments and ensuring the pet feels secure and loved, whether it's through playtime, walks, or simply providing a calming presence.
