Dog Walking Southwest Hills

About: Seeking New Furry Best Friends! Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion while you're away, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. Expert level with playful puppies to sweet senior dogs with a soft spot for seniors. I recently put my sweet old man down due to medical condition at the young age of 13, so if you have a special senior, I'm your girl! I volunteer at a local shelter once a week, so I'm exposed to all types of dogs with various temperament levels. Dogs are my favorite and I'll care for them just like my own- spoiled rotten! I do have a job however I have a different work schedule compared to a basic 9-5pm. I'm confident we can make something work! Drop me a message anytime. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. Plenty of time for mini adventures, games, cuddles, and treats!

“Emma was fantastic with my dog! He took to her so quickly and he’s usually more shy/timid around strangers. She followed all instructions to a T and took a bunch of photos which I appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Emma to watch your fur babies!”

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

About: Having grown up on a farm I have been around animals my entire life. My favorite have always been dogs and cats. I have taken animal care and vet sciences in 4H and volunteered in an animal shelter. I can't imagine life without animals, they add so much joy to life. I currently work part time as a caregiver for seniors. Most of my days are 4 to 6 hours long with weekends off. I have a flexible schedule . Since my schedule is flexible I can adjust to you pets needs well so they are being fed and walked at their regular times to help reduce stress.

“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! I grew up with several dogs, including a Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Husky, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around larger, energetic breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I currently have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I’d treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer stays as needed. Having two pets of my own also means caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care, so I always treat both with respect. I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable and keep their routine as familiar as possible while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child. My partner has also shared with me the many things they have learned from working in their mother's dog breeding business and at a company as a groomer. I have plenty of knowledge and experience and am ready to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own!! I'm currently not working at any other job than this one. This is my only source of income, so I am available all the time! I will take care of your home and pets, and bring my own needs and I will maintain the cleanliness of your home, and do as asked if there are instructions given.

“Aaron was kind enough to walk my dog even though we are outside his preferred neighborhood. He was easy to communicate with, sent pics and stayed in touch. Thanks, Aaron!”

“I had a very positive experience with having Yana walk my two dogs. It has been a pleasure working with her. She truly seems like an empathetic animal lover. She walked my two large dogs over the weekend and I was impressed with how their walks with her noticeably improved their demeanor.”

About: I grew up in rural Oregon and have owned and rehabilitated all sorts of animals! I put myself through college by becoming a dog groomer. I worked as a dog groomer for five years :) I work full time hybrid. I go in person to cover a four hour shift once a week, otherwise I work a statistics job from home. Plenty of opportunities for potty breaks for your pets :) I have worked with and owned all animals my entire life even spiders and reptiles. Anything your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable in my presence- it is my pleasure.

About: Hi! My name is Anika H. and currently I'm a student. Something about me that many other people may know is that I've always had a deep love for animals. My passion and knowledge for this job first started when I first met a service dog in training at girl scouts, ever since then I had the need to constantly be around dogs. The jobs on this site include everything that I absolutely love! Helping others, seeing dogs and earning experience for my future dream job. If you hire me I swear I will not let you down. I cannot wait to meet you, and I cannot wait to meet your lovely dog! I only work part time currently and my favorite thing to do to get out of the house is take my dog for a long walk, he has someone else to take care of him at home, which frees me up for your pet! I take great care to learn your pet's personal schedule and needs, I will always fill any water/food bowls, clean any litter boxes (if applicable), and make sure your pet is secure and safe.

“Joseph was great with my pup. He was on time and responded to messages quickly. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of a good walker.”

About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
