Dog Walking Sunnyside

“Ricky is a great dog walker and visitor! His love and enthusiasm for our dogs is appreciated. He is very communicative and reliable. Ricky is responsible for visiting and feeding our smaller Chihuahua mix dog, but also for walking our bulldog mix dog - he excels at both. After his visits, he sends the cutest videos and pictures. It is a relief to have him caring for our dogs while we are away.”

“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.”

“Our dogs love Megan, and she has been very accommodating, agreeing to meet several times with us present so our nervous guy Goose could get to know her. She took them for their first walk without us today and he did great with her.”

“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.”

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have experience with a wide range of dogs. Ranging from small dogs to large such as German Shepards and Great Danes all the way to chihuahuas. I take pride in having the patience in getting to know each animal and their needs. I have a calming caring demeanor and work hard to build trust with each animal. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, feeding, house sitting cats and dogs and am a go to for friends and family. I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule caring for your pets! After losing my lab a few years ago, I often seek opportunities to build connections with animals of all sizes and ages. Being an experienced dog sitter, I plan to show you and your pets the upmost respect. I have pet sat and walked a wide variety of dogs in a variety of homes and can insure you that your pet and your home are safe with me.

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!

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. For the last 15 years I have cared for pets for my friends, family, and friends of friends. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that I care for as well. I have experience in training dogs as well as providing medical care to pets who need it. This includes IV fluids, pill medications and more. Animals have a very special place in my heart and this shows in the way I love and care for each individual animal as if it were my own. They bring me joy and comfort and I strive to do the same for them!! I am currently a full time social worker at the hospital. My typical work day is Mon-fri 8-4:30. That being said it fluctuates and I often have some weekdays off. During the weekends I’ll be around consistently to spend quality time with your pets and to exercise them and have playtime. I prefer to care for my clients pets in their home as I have two dogs and a cat in my house and I know that providing in-home care to an animal in a new place with new animals is a lot for a pet to take on emotionally. I value structure and routine when caring for another’s pet, as it allows me to provide the best care for the pet when the owner is not around to provide their normal care and support. I believe that there needs to be a buildup of trust between the caretaker and the animal, and this starts during meet and greets where the owner is present, and can provide support and assurance to the pet if needed. I have a very caring and loving presence which allows for even the most fearful pets to feel safe around me.

About: I am very knowledgeable in pet care and I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs and cats. I have grown up all my life with animals, and I would always help out with walking the dogs, playing with the cats, feeding the fish, you name it! With each furry friend that is in my care, I vow to ensure that they will be properly taken care of with love and care. Caring for animals is a daily routine for me. My cat, Billy, is my main priority of course, but outside of being a cat mom, I currently am part-time at my job, so I have plenty of time to take care of the dogs and cats that need to have care! My care happens in your home, so your pet gets to stay comfortable in their own space. Any instructions given to me will be followed exactly and promptly. On walks, your pup will stay their leash the entire time. And before i leave your home I will triple-check to make sure your pet is safe and sound.

About: Hi Friend! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs, big and small (ie. pugs, pit bulls, Dobermans). I am also a Doberman mom. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule. However, I am more consistently available in the mornings and on the weekends. I am happy to make your pet care a part of my weekly routine. :) I provide care in my client’s home according to the guidelines they provide me with. It is imperative that I ensure that their pet feels safe and respected when I am providing care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 and I’ve had a cat and turtle for 6 years and I’ve raised them and cared for them all I am free to provide care any time of the week daily or weekly. Considering I have 4 dogs I am used to walking, playing, feeding, bathing, etc. I am also a biology major and it is my dream to work with animals of all kinds. I walk my dogs 3 times a week they are all senior dogs so they can only handle so much on their joints. I also bathe and brush my dogs weekly.

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

“Tabitha did an amazing job with our two dogs. She was able to accommodate with short notice and spent quality time with our pups. Highly recommend!”

Choose me to care for your special little critter or critters, I’ll treat them like my own Most days I wake up early in the morning and let my cat inside and feed him and give him some love before I leave for school or lift. When I get back he’s usually waiting for me outside the door so we can hangout! After we’re done hanging out I clean his litter box and make sure he has his gourmet dinner that he has everyday. I take care of my cat spooky everyday by feeding him, cleaning his litter box often, deshedding him, and giving him lots of love and cuddles, and I can do the same for your critters. I care about the safety of your critters and will always be aware cautious of my surroundings while walking and taking care of them.

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.

“Stacy is amazing!! I would recommend her to anyone. She took my puppy to the dog park for me and he warmed up to her quickly. Easy to communicate with and I will keep rebooking with her 😊”
