Dog Walking South Tabor

“The dogs get so excited when they see Desire coming up the steps. She takes great care in keeping them safe. Love the pics we get of their walk. Great communicator….I always know when she is on her way.”

About: I love spending time with pets and walking outside. I've taken care of dogs since childhood, and now I live between Laurelhurst and Mt Tabor, so there's no shortage of trails in the area. Let's go!! I'm currently taking a year-long sabbatical from a stressful job and training to hike the PCT, so I am available for your pet at almost all hours of the day! I typically hike a few times a week and may be gone for 4-8hrs, but this is flexible as your pets' schedule demands. My husband also works from home and can provide some extra attention and play. I'm a big fan of drop in and walks! I think staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet. I am happy to offer a 15% discount if you book multiple drop ins per day (please inquire!). Currently, I am only boarding cats, as I have two cats of my own and occasionally foster. All guest kitties are kept separate.

“My dog Opie loves Kira! She’s is super kind and very responsive. There was a day that my dog wasn’t feeling very good and had an accident which Kira handled! I’m very thankful to have her help!”

“Christy is a great communicator and she always has the best rover cards after walks with my dog. Highly recommend!”

About: We’ve all been there. Concert tickets in hand, no one to bail you out. The encore is gonna rip but it’s been 5 hours since your ninja has been fed. I gotchu! Enjoy the show! I’d love to help the same pets over and over again. No renegade owners or abusers Hit the town or enjoy the concert. I’m just relaxing. Your schedule is mine and mine isn’t in the way of your fun! Water, food, excrement. No particular order but all 3 are a must! Funny fish tank videos and WU-Tang instrumentals. Prolly some fetch and feats of strength.

About: I'm certified for Pet First Aid/CPR and I'm an expert ear scratcher with senior dog and cat experience, including strategies for administering medicine and hydration. The bond with an animal is as pure as anything in life and they deserve our best. It would be my honor to spend time with your pet. Your pet is my first priority. I'm winding down a career as a music producer for advertising. My schedule is light and flexible. As well as being reliable with food and exercise, I believe that time and companionship are also essential parts of pet care. I will learn your pets needs, preferences and whims and will dote on them like my own, whether it be playtime or quiet couch companionship. We treat our two cats like the royalty they are, and I dearly miss the daily walks and friendship of our last dog. I'm excited about meeting your pet.

“Acacia always does a great job of picking up my dog and taking her on walks. I always come home to a very happy pup. Acacia is very dependable and clearly loves dogs. I will certainly have her come walk my dog again in the future.”

“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”

About: Hi! I'm Ignacio, but I go by Nash. I grew up with a dog named Scotty in the Philippines, and pets have been part of my daily life ever since. I recently moved to Portland, and now I take care of my sister's five animals: three cats and two dogs. That means feeding on schedule twice a day, giving medication to Earl, our 16-year-old cat, twice a day, and plenty of yard time with our medium-sized dog Nova and Rumi, a small Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. Our cat Sebastian always tries to steal Earl's food, so feeding time takes some strategy to keep them both happy. I make it work. I'll send photos and updates so you know how your pet's day is going, and I always start with a meet and greet. It's the best way to know your pet is comfortable with me before you leave them in my care. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I'm around during the day. That's a real advantage for house sitting, since your pet gets company for most of the day instead of an empty house. I'm available for overnight stays, and I can do walks or drop-ins most days with a bit of notice. I care for pets in your home, so my focus is keeping everything exactly as your pet expects it. I follow your feeding times, walk routes, and medication schedule, and I'll ask about house rules at the meet and greet, including which rooms are off-limits and what to do if something comes up. I'm comfortable giving oral medication to cats, and I'm used to dogs of most sizes, from a 16 lb terrier mix to a 45 lb Lab. If anything seems off with your pet, I'll reach out to you right away. We'll also go over your vet's contact info and what you'd want me to do in an emergency at the meet and greet, so there's a plan in place before it's ever needed.

“Kay walked our dog twice a week for 2 months while she was in town and was very reliable and delightful to work with. And our dog loved her! Highly recommend her services.”

Nick R.

“I was apprehensive about using Rover, but I needed help during a recent work trip and hired Raphael. I'm glad I did. He was attentive, communicative, and accommodating with my schedule which included 3 walks per day, one of which was an hour. I would recommend working with Raphael to take care of your pets and for peace of mind. Thanks!”

“I am so grateful that Karly has been walking and checking in on my senior dog, Carl these past couple months. It is such a comfort to know that she is taking care of Carl while I'm away for a long work day!”

Katie I.

“Nell is so wonderful and clearly so knowledgeable about pet care. You can tell she really loves animals. My anxious rescue pup adores her! Highly, highly recommend! I am so thankful I found her!”

Erin W.

“Jen is such a big help for me! She walks my mini dachshund once a week and does amazing with him! Very communicative. My cats also love seeing her when she picks up my dog!”

Julia C.

“Last minute walk/ meet with Winnie. Braydon was very kind and asked lots of questions about Winston and what he likes to do.”

“Lauren has walked my dogs for a week and done a great job. She has followed through with all the directions (especially all of the safety concerns- key back where it’s supposed to go and the gate latched on the fence). My dogs seemed very happy with Lauren, and she is very good about communicating.”

Emily W.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

Madeline K.

“Sam was so great at communicating with me throughout her time with my pup. Mocha can be very nervous around new people and Sam worked really hard to help her feel safe and build trust!”

About: Animals have always been my first love! I grew up in a house with a minimum of 2 big dogs at all times and now have my own golden retriever and pitbull/heeler shelter mix. I’ve volunteered with dogs at the Humane Society, rescued farm animals at a variety of animal sanctuaries, and love animals enough to have gotten a degree in Animal Law. I promise to care for your pets with the same love and kindness I do my own. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so am happy to pop in and check on your pet or get them out for a walk during the work day. Safety and trust is truly the most important thing to me. I’ve used Rover before to find care for my dog and know how scary it can be to trust someone with someone as important as your pet. I’m extremely committed to listening to you and your pet’s needs, asking any follow up questions needed, and communicating with you throughout the whole process.
