Dog Walking Saint Joseph

“Arianna has been walking Lucia for over a year. She's super consistent with communication and highly dependable. I can tell when I walk her, Arianna has definitely had a positive impact on Lucias behavior.”

“Alex seems very experienced with dogs. My dog can be intimidating at first and tends to play hard to get. Rizzo is often hesitant when meeting new people, but Alex has been patient and has taken the time to build trust with her. She continues to work on strengthening that bond, and I think Rizzo will really grow to love her. It’s been great to see how understanding and dedicated Alex has been throughout the process”

About: Ever since I remember I’ve always cared of all types of dogs! I’ve worked in a boarding kennel which I have worked with many senior dogs as well as small few month old puppies! I have experienced in the care of disabled dogs that have medical handi-capabilities! I also have experience with long house stays even over holidays! I am usually always working a night shift so throughout the day, I’m always readily available for walks and long daycare days! I always make sure that my availability with work never clashes with my passions! Depending on the animal I have set play times, down times, feeding times, and walk times! The care of the animal is really important to me so I’m always open to a at home schedule or ones that I can make myself! No matter what home I am in I treat it with respect and always keep it clean.

“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for the past 9 years. From owning dogs to dog sitting. I am comfortable walking, feeding, grooming, training, playing, and staying overnight with any age of dog. I really enjoy being around puppies and have a good understanding of what senior dogs need. I am comfortable with both high and low energy dogs. Have a skidish or shy dog? I have experience with them too. I am home from college for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I'm very flexable with times and am more than happy to wake up early or stay late! I will communicate with the pet parent to understand the pets needs and figure out plans to prevent or deal with various potential shenanigans the furry friend may come up with.

“My husband and I met Alisha in October for a meet and greet with Milo, our mixed yellow lab and golden retriever. The meeting was for an upcoming trip during the Christmas holidays. We instantly liked her, she was on time when she came, she was professional, she bonded right away with Milo. Soon after I booked a three day walk in November just to reconnect again with her. It was for a 30 minute walk and again she was on time and I love the fact that I get a text and a pic of the walk. Tomorrow will be the start of a 13 day house sitting and we feel confident about the whole thing knowing that Milo will not be neglected. We’re glad we came across her at Rover. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’m Christina — a lifelong animal lover based in beautiful McMinnville wine country! Find me on insta @ GomezGetaway Myhome is full of love, fun, structure, and lots of tail wags thanks to our own pups, Mazie & Louie! I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so my goal is simple: I want your pup to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and part of the family while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, couch cuddles, sunbathing, or just a calm environment to relax in, I work hard to make their stay feel like a little getaway of their own. I provide personalized attention, frequent updates/photos, and a warm home environment with lots of supervision and care. I currently keep my bookings intentionally small so each dog gets plenty of attention and a low-stress experience. This also allows me to learn your dog’s routines, personality, and needs so they feel right at home. What you can expect: 🐾 Frequent photo updates 🐾 Safe, loving home environment 🐾 Flexible communication 🐾 Personalized care & attention 🐾 A fun but calm atmosphere Bonus: your pup may even go home with a cute photo, treat, or little surprise from their stay 😊 I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it—it’s something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday activity, or evening wind-down time, I make sure each dog’s needs and routine are followed closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. I work full time at home! My job is flexible and allows for play time, potty breaks and lunch time walks! I have a large fenced backyard where your pup is free to play, explore and potty! I have two additional fur babies who will keep your pup company! Your pup will likely spend most of the day with me inside, in my office. I give my pups space to roam the house if they want, but they generally sleep on the couch behind me. I am also able to crate your pup if that's what they're used to or comfortable with. I am flexible to your needs!

About: I’ve been an animal person since I can remember! From dreaming of being a vet to owning dogs, cats, horses! I have 2 dogs of my own and they get along great with other dogs! My schedule is very flexible! Pets are like family so caring for your pet is a top priority for me and will make sure you are in the loop too! I have a huge fenced backyard and access to large fields! I also have a air conditioned home and lots of toys to play with!

About: Lifelong dog and cat mom! I give your fur babies the same love and care i give my own pets. I have a fenced backyard where eyes will always be on your pets. A small pool for the hot days. My dog Opal is everyone’s friend! But, if he is too active for your pet they can easily be separated. I’m completely flexible and available 7 days a week—morning, afternoon, and evening! Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m here when you need me. Your pets’ routines are my top priority, and I’ll gladly adjust to their needs and your schedule. Just let me know what works best for you! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I provide a calm, loving environment where your fur baby will feel secure and cared for. I always follow your instructions closely, and I’m happy to send updates for peace of mind. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care; and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m I’m a student at Linfield University and I am currently on summer break. I have flexible availability for house sitting (overnight or daytime care), dog walking, drop-in visits, and more! Please see below for House Sitting! House Sitting Policy: Please note that my standard house sitting rate does not include constant care. During a house sitting booking, I may leave for 4–8 hours at a time to care for my own dog or complete scheduled walks and drop-in visits for other clients. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to discuss their routine before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit. Puppies and pets with medical needs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. I do not charge my constant care rate solely because a pet is a puppy or has medical needs, as puppies already have a higher rate and medical needs are often outside of an owner’s control. If your pet’s care requirements significantly limit my ability to accept other bookings or require me to remain with them for the majority of the day, we can discuss whether a constant care rate is appropriate. I also live with another experienced Rover sitter. If an unexpected scheduling conflict ever arises, they are available to let pets outside for a potty break or provide a quick check-in when appropriate. This helps ensure your pet’s routine is maintained even if I’m briefly unavailable. Any assistance would be communicated with you in advance whenever possible. If your pet requires constant or near-constant supervision, I do offer constant care at an adjusted rate. The requested dates are reserved exclusively for your pet(s), allowing me to remain with them throughout the duration of the stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully; whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs, so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it, or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

“My dogs adore Trina and are super excited when she shows up to walk them. She is very reliable, kind to the resident kitties and the dogs would trade me for her in an instant.”

About: I grew up with a dog, and have always lived with either a dog or cat as an adult. My heart just fills with joy when I am around all four legged friends. I currently work full time as a pediatric medical assistant, but would be happy to come by after work to take care of any sweet dog or cat. Currently do not take care of of animals at my current residence as I am living with family who prefers to be pet free, but I am happy to come to you!

About: If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your dog while you’re away, I’d love to help! I grew up surrounded by animals on a Japanese maple farm with over 20 horses and lots of dogs, both indoor and working dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and training backgrounds. I am a student and only have one in-person class this term, giving me lots of availability for quality time with your pup! I live in a cute, quiet neighborhood near a park and walking trail, and I usually go for walks in the mornings and a couple miles before dinner when my partner comes home from work (weather permitting). I’d happily bring your dog along for those little adventures so they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all breeds! After walks and a lot of playing, I make sure to keep track of any supplements and food schedules needed (usually by setting reminders and alarms on my phone) I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. If you have any questions or want to chat about your dog’s specific needs, feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you both!

About: I was born and raised on a ranch caring for many types of animals. I have extended my background from cows, horses and sheep to training, breeding and so much more with dogs. I am respectful, patient and have an overall love for every animal! I am currently a stay at home mom and looking for other work when I stumbled upon Rover. I love animals and am very excited at the chance to be around them more! I have a fenced yard and my own dog as well who gets along great with everyone. I have crates if needed and a park very close to run some energy out!

About: I have been an animal lover since a young age, and have been caring for dogs since 2011. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and all ages in between. I have experience in training my own dogs and in practicing commands as asked when puppy-sitting. I've even trained my cat to give high-fives! I also have experience in administering medication, both oral meds as well as eyedrops. Our 14 year old labradoodle gets eyedrops twice daily, which I administer. I bond easily with animals and love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I love getting to know animals, and have a knack for bonding with anxious, shy animals. I am also okay with brushing and bathing, etc., as asked if needed. I am typically available all day on the weekends and most Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am in grad school for the next two years in Forest Grove and classes occur around 9am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I may have time for quick home visits for potty breaks during lunch on these days, if needed. I am happy to spend quiet time with pets who are more mellow, or to spend time playing or walking with energetic, younger dogs if that suits them best. I typically observe the dog's behavior and notes from the owner when deciding what to do- are they looking tired and calm? Are they a bit riled up and could use a playtime or a walk? I will follow any instructions left by the owners, as well. If there is anything specific or special you'd like me to do for your pets, just let me know!

About: I have had animals much of my life and have always been a responsible caretaker. I enjoy the company, love and unwavering affection of animals and strive to provide that in return. I'm currently working part-time allowing me the flexibility to walk, play and hang out with your pet(s). My availability is daily for walks and some drop in visits. Let's work together to find a plan that fits everyone's needs! I treat all animals and humans with dignity and respect. I honor the clients feelings and will do my very best to show the client their pet is in good hands. All animals will be cared for as if they are my own.

About: I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs of various ages and breeds, as well as multi-dog households in a variety of settings. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my schedule is built around providing dependable, attentive care for the pets and families I work with. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide care exclusively within my clients’ homes, as I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. Throughout all services, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal schedule while providing companionship, exercise, structure, and attentive care. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own and value cleanliness, security, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind and carefully follow all care requests.

“Emily is so great with our pup! She’s very communicative, sends lots of great pics of our dog, and is always flexible with any updated instructions we leave. She did a great job with our dog after she had surgery, helping with medication and her recovery suit. Definitely recommend!”

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! Currently, I am pet & house sitting full-time as I study for taking the LSAT this winter, so as long as you have wifi, I am able to work on my laptop and take care of any animals. In short, I am an animal lover through and through, who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!
