Dog Walking Sidney

“Melody was great! Today was my first time using her. she took my Husky for an hour walk. She is very nice and calm, which is great. Especially the first time meeting a new dog. She sent pictures of them on their walk and I can tell that my girl had a great time. She was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be asking her to walk Xena again and possibly even come housesit during one of my trips. Thank you thank you Melody! You saved the day!”

“Emilien did a great job with my Girl Scout! He bonded well with my girl, and he stayed focused on my girl during the walks. I will be requesting Emilien in the future for dog walks.”

“Outstanding!! Would highly recommend Tyler. We have a big dog (110 lbs), and they became fast friends. Very caring and tentative to his needs.”

Jennifer D.

“On time. She is patient and able to redirect my reactive small dogs with treats and/or a squeaky toy. She goes above and beyond by helping me to continue to train my dogs not to react while on their walks.”

“Erin was amazing through and through.”

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 have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.

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!

“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.”

I have a fully fenced in very large yard, I can provide outside enrichment & I can provide a large kennel run if it’s needed!

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 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 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!
