Dog Walking Skamania

“Callae walked both my dogs early morning for a week while I was out of town. One is a puppy with lots of energy. She handled both dogs professionally and they seemed very happy!”

“I wasn't personally here when Jessica was walking my dog. I was out of town, but got the notifications that she was here to pick him up right on time, and my brother who was staying here at the time said he always came back happy. Jessica was sending me photos along their walk as well, which I really appreciated!”

About: With over 15+ years working with animals, I understand how hard it is to be away from your pets — and how much they mean to you. That’s why getting to know each dog’s individual needs is the first thing I focus on, before anything else. Every dog communicates differently, has different comfort levels, and settles in their own way, and I take the time to learn that instead of assuming one routine fits all. I currently have my own fur ball - a Samoyed — daily grooming, sensitivities to food, and plenty of agility work to keep her fulfilled as a working breed. Caring for her has taught me just how much a dog’s happiness depends on meeting their specific physical and mental needs, not just the basics. Having owned dogs of all sizes over the years, from small to medium breeds, I’ve learned that a high-energy working dog needs something completely different from a laid-back senior — and I adjust my care accordingly, whether that means extra playtime, a quieter pace, or sticking closely to a special diet or routine. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog becomes part of the household, not just a guest. I love the outdoors, so there’s always room for a walk or an adventure with a furry friend by my side. Since I work from home, pet care isn’t squeezed into a rushed morning or evening — it’s woven throughout my day. I take breaks to check in, play, and go for walks, so dogs get consistent attention rather than long stretches alone. Feeding times, walks, and rest periods stay on a steady schedule, and I’m always nearby to notice if something seems off. It also means I can stick closely to a specific routine or diet your dog is used to, without any guesswork Dogs need more than just love and attention — they need real stimulation, both physical and mental. A tired body isn’t the same as a fulfilled mind, and every dog’s needs look different, so I treat that as part of their care, not an afterthought. There are no kennels here — dogs have free roam inside my home, plenty of space to relax and play, and constant updates so you always know how they’re doing

About: I provide reliable, loving, personalized care for every pup, treating your furry family members like my own with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care so every pup feels safe, happy, and at home. 🐾❤️ My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I share it with Penelope, my friendly two-year-old tabby cat. I prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated on your furry family member.

About: I've lived in many households, including farms and ranches, with animals of all sorts. I've taken care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, reptiles, and birds -- As well as having tons of experience in childcare, but that's a separate beast ;D -- I'm attentive, respectful, thoughtful, and kind. Currently I am a line cook and have a small arts business and do this to help support my dreams :) I am a full time online college student and recently got laid off from my remote technical support job so I'm very free and very in need of some gigs to keep my bills paid. I envision myself staying in or checking in with my clients homes to care for furry friends. I'll look out for the health and well being of your pets so that you don't have to worry about them while you're away. Currently, I cannot host any client pets, as I have a skittish rescue cat. My partner stays home with her, though, so I fully free to make sure the critters in your home stay happy, healthy, and cared for.

“Laura is super nice and handled my velvet well. Sent me some cute photos :) would recommend her to anyone”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.

“Brie is incredible! We feel so grateful to have found her. She provides a very high level of care to our dog and is excellent about communicating important and cute details with us. Her level of work ethic, attention to detail, and emotional intelligence are beyond impressive. Brie is a rare type of person that emits joy, care, and compassion into everything she does. We are forever grateful to her for being so good with our little dude!”

About: I just moved to Portland and I work remotely so I can definitely spend time with any pets I care for! Growing up my family always had pets and I loved taking care of them! My family currently has one dog and anytime I go back to Southern California to visit I love hanging out with her. Throughout my life I've always been the one to call for pet sitting when neighbors and friends go away on vacation. I really love taking care of their dogs and cats while they're away. Along with helping my friends and family take care of their pets I've also worked at a pet supply store where I interacted with animals daily. Before moving to Portland I lived in Bend where I had a good amount of repeat pet sitting gigs and I loved them like they were my own. Before moving to Oregon I lived in San Francisco for about 12 years. While living in San Francisco I volunteered with the SPCA which was definitely a great experience! I've always loved animals and I feel like I am just happier around them :D I currently work from home so I can spend all day everyday with the pets I care for! I love going on walks throughout the week and my work schedule is flexible so I can take your pet out anytime :) I follow all rules your pet currently has so it doesn’t disrupt their daily routine. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable while in my care.

About: Ive worked at a dog hotel for 8 plus years and have taken care of all different types of dogs. I get along with any dog I meet and I would love to help care for your baby regardless what stage in life they are at. I work at a dog hotel so I can make almost anything work. Just let me know the situation and we can work together :) I know how to do meds and have been doing them for years. I can handle elderly dogs/cats and younger. I can go on long walks or small walks depending on the dog.

“my dog Goose is very shy but warmed up to Samantha right away. She was communicative, prompt, and sent SUCH cute pics of my boy.”

About: Ive taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets since I was a young child. I’ve worked with animals in multiple different environments and I can administer medication as well as provide a bath using my pet grooming station. I’m an animal lover of all kinds even the “big scary mean ones”. I lead a very active lifestyle and would love to be able to share that with your furry friend whenever you’re not able too! I also love teaching and training. There’s no better feeling for myself than when I can connect with an animal and build a bond. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of available time to get outside and play with your furry friends. I take my own cats on walks several times a day we eat three limited ingredient meals a day and take regular baths and grooming sessions. Needless to say I never run out of time when it comes to spending time with any animals. I don’t have a yard however I have a big comfy couch and two very friendly cats that love dogs ready to play! I also live near a lot of dog parks including sellwood dog park and love going on tons of walks and runs throughout the day. I have a very clean home and a crate incase it’s needed I can also separate my cats away if needed pretty much can work around anything I’ve even got an elevator.

“Great experience and will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and a cat as a pet myself and they were all happy, social, and mannered (minus the bunnies). I engage, communicate, and train effectively and appropriately. I am not currently working at this time and am hoping I make enough on Rover to provide for my lifestyle. I really want to remain at peace as an individual and that means-loving & nurturing your animals! It’s my number one job pick which should assure you there’s mutton else I’d rather be doing. I have one dog, Carole, that I care for in my home right now. It’s pretty tidy so there’s nothing that animals can get into, I don’t have a fenced in yard however, I do live in an environment with lots of land and a grass pasture to potty in. Carole and I like to go to dog parks, but respect that not all animals have that luxury for numerous reasons. Carole gets along with other animals and people, but finds her space if she is the only one who wants to play.

“I rebooked Malissa and was not disappointed. I rebooked her for walks not a housesitting this time and I found my dog happy. She also sent me pictures and was on time for the walks. I trust her completely and already rebooked her for the end of July housesitting.”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for a variety of other animals, including cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. I’ve personally raised and cared for many different dog breeds, including Pomeranians, Maltese, Poodles, Shiba Inus, Retrievers, Shepherds, and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. When I had pets of my own, I also entrusted them to pet sitters, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone reliable, caring, and attentive. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, personalized care in a clean, comfortable apartment with no other pets. My community has convenient outdoor areas and lovely walking paths for exercise and potty breaks. I'll also send you photo updates throughout the day so you can have peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays and weekends. With advance notice, I can often adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine.
