About: I have trained puppies to be mobility service dogs from when they were eight weeks old to two years old. I have also lived with dogs for the past 17 years. I am highly proficient in training basic skills (sit, down, stay, heel) and well-versed in positive reinforcement and praise-based training methods. I also have experience with exercising dogs both physically and through mental enrichment. I am currently working a Wednesday to Sunday schedule and am generally available after 5 pm on those days. I have much more daytime availability Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to find appropriate walks for your pets of all ages and abilities in the area. I will make sure to meet your pet's physical and mental needs and communicate clearly and effectively.

About: I have a big heart for animals (especially cats and dogs). I am very passionate and driven, i’ll make sure your pets have their needs (and wants) full filled! I work Monday-Thursday from 7-3ish normally. This being said I have most of my afternoons open and weekends and nights available to stay overnight or just walk your pets! I am very gentle and caring with animals, but I can be stern if needed. I don’t accept overnights in my own home due to allergies etc. But I will make sure your dog/cat has everything they need and gets love and attention in their home. I know how to handle big and small dogs, and most of the time I can keep them contained on a lead too.


“I came home to a better trained pup thanks to Haley! I’m so thankful she was willing to stay with my pup with just a few days notice after my previous arrangements fell through. She is definitely a dog lover and has lots of knowledge about them.”


“Oh gosh - where do I even start?! Tyler is incredible, to say the least. Kind, caring, trustworthy and understands dogs, and their quirks, on a deep level. We are beyond happy that our boy Marvin has a friend in Tyler!”


About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.

About: Trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated to providing top-notch pet care. Hello there, thanks for stopping in! My name is Katlyn I’m 25 years old and am currently working on call as a Nursing Assistant at a local Care Center and do housekeeping during the week. I have always had an abundance of pets growing up and am pleased to say my love for them has traveled into my adulthood! I consistently have sat for families around my area and am hoping to use rover as a platform to broaden my clientele and provide worry free care to many more families! I have a three year old dog named ‘Luka’. He is extremely gentle and lazy for a young boy, and has never shown any signs of aggression. The perfect pal for your dog while it’s away from home. In addition to Luka I have two cats, they are indoor / outdoor and very low maintenance / keeps to themselves. I ensure all animals are comfortable and safe when boarded at my home. I have lots of toys available and a decent sized fenced yard for bathroom breaks. I live a block away from a large park where I take the dogs daily to run and burn some energy. I have medium and large kennels available at my house as well if that is something your are working on! Making their stay with me as close to their normal home routine with you, helps ensure a stress free stay for your pal. I very much believe in giving all the loves and snuggles while watching your furry friends & always treat them as I would my babies! Morning walks, & evening park trips. Your furry friend will be sure to enjoy their stay with me!

I also really appreciated that she came to meet me and Luke ahead of time so he was really comfortable with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Katlyn to look after your previous pets!”
