Dog Walking Sunnyside

“We have been working with Ricky the last two years and he has been so wonderful with our two dogs. He has never missed a walk and will tell me weeks in advance if he has a conflict (which happens rarely). Our dogs love Ricky and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and friendly dog walker!”

“Melody was great! Today was my first time using her. she took my Husky for an hour walk. She is very nice and calm, which is great. Especially the first time meeting a new dog. She sent pictures of them on their walk and I can tell that my girl had a great time. She was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be asking her to walk Xena again and possibly even come housesit during one of my trips. Thank you thank you Melody! You saved the day!”

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.

“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’ve grown up with animals my whole life small and large breeds. My love for animals is constantly growing and I even plan on getting into the medical field. I have worked in vet medicine for a little over 3 years and love my job more than anything. I have 2 cats of my own and have grown up with dogs as well! I’m currently going into my junior year of college and just moved up here to Salem. I am a student athlete and have flexible time in my schedule. I have worked with animals in multiple different environments and can help them with what they need. I know a lot of animals signs that can help with making them comfortable.

About: I specialize in taking care of cats, dogs, fish chickens and more. I love the outdoors and being around all animals. I grew up on a farm in a little village in Ireland and I was surrounded by all kinds of animals. I spent some time as a nanny in Portugal and now I'm a professional pet nanny. As a lifelong animal owner I have also been pet and animal sitting for friends, family and clients for over 35 years. Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Pigs, Fish, Frogs, Goats, Donkeys, Ponies and Horses… I have fed, medicated and cared for them all. I am trustworthy, dependable and I will treat your fur family member just like my own. I'm not afraid of a little hard work or a nervous fur baby. I am a Level 2 Reiki provider I know how to connect with animals on a spiritual energy level in a calm manner which in turns gains their trust and can help relax them if they are anxious or have separation anxiety. I am happy to administer medications. All of my cats can do tricks for treats such as sit, high five, spin around, give the paw and meow on command. Cats are smart! I would love to be considered for all your pet and housesitting needs. I have never met an animal I didn't love. Working from home affords me a very flexible schedule. I am looking for pet owners in my local area that need a reliable caring drop in or full time care home & pet sittings. I will clean up after the pets and myself, collect mail and take out trash and water up to 10 plants if needed free of charge. If you have more than 10 plants or need a garden watered I am happy to help please request additional plant care at time of request/Meet & Greet. I can provide services in your home where your pet is most comfortable. Please note that per Rover guidelines each overnight stay is for a period of 24 hours per night charge. If additional time is needed after an initial overnight there will be an additional "half daycare" or "full daycare" charge, the amount can be discussed at the meet and greet and will depend on the amount of hours/ pets and extras such as medications or special needs. Please note that Extended stay rates listed are charged per day for the entire stay per night once the stay is 7 days or more. Drop In Only: Please note...my daily drop rate to hourly charges applies when a Drop in Only is requested with no overnight prior, rates are listed in my service rates. Just click on Services. Exotic or farm animal care prices will vary depending on the animals. Please contact for pricing and please be transparent about all the animals needing care and medications upfront. PLEASE NOTE: Rover terms of service require all animals in the household to be added to the booking for transparency and for their Rover Guarantee to be valid. This applies regardless of auto feeding, auto water bowls or auto litter boxes which can fail, be knocked over, spill or shut off in a power outage. Cats are considered companion animals and need care and attention and someone to monitor their health and emotional wellness. I am not currently providing boarding services at this time. I am happy to follow any masking, hand washing and sanitizing practices during Meet & Greet and visits if needed, please request prior so I can be prepared in advance. Thank you so much for your consideration, I would love to meet your pets/animals and see if it's a good fit for everyone. Please send me a message if you would like a 100% FREE 30 minute meet and greet. Thanks so much for looking and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! :) Aoife (EEEEEFAAH) I work from home as an artist so my schedule is very flexible. I have 4 indoor cats that are taken care of by my family while I am on overnights. I love to spend quality time with the animals I care for and I make sure that I interact with them frequently such as playtime, treat time, feeding time, puzzles, relaxing time and walks if needed. During the meet and greet I try to get an idea of what the animals routine is from their owner so that I can make the transition as smooth as possible causing less anxiety and stress for the animals while they are in my care.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout my life and have personally adopted 6 dogs, 5 rats, 1 cat, and even a chinchilla—each one bringing joy and unforgettable memories. Currently, I share my home with my sweet pup, Xena. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have strong knowledge of dog training, behavior, and wellness, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs or special quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or structured care, your dog will be in loving, capable hands with me. I currently work full time but I live very close to my work so I am home at lunch time to check on things and give a potty break. I have no long commute or traffic to worry about. On the weekends, I stay in the area or take pups out for hikes! Boarding: To introduce, your pup will have an entire room gated off with a baby gate to acclimate to the new environment. Then, your pup will be welcomed to explore the home.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was small! My family fostered two pups before adopting two of our own, so I’ve been in a pretty busy household. We taught them basic training and gave them all the love in the world! I love dogs of all ages and sizes and I am extremely patient with any of their needs! I pride myself in being an animal person, meaning not only do I love animals but they love me! I’m looking forward to taking care of your beloved pet(s)! I’m currently in between jobs so I have all the free time in the world! Even though I am still looking for a part time job, my favorite part of my day would be visiting, walking, or taking care of sweet creatures! With your instructions and preferences, I am extremely confident I can provide a safe and warm loving environment for your pets while you are away!

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!

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: All my pets and your pets will receive individualized care, training (if needed), and lots and lots of love! Walks, spontaneous hikes, runs, swims, movie nights, cuddles, play time, and anything else your pet expects and enjoys will be apart of their care! House Sitting will only be an accentuated version of this with your pet family! If you request DOG WALKING: I only provide services to clients who would like walks outside of their immediate neighborhood. Think hiking and dog park trips. That is an hourly activity with a mileage rate and my availability for this is extremely limited. Please contact me as this is a special request. This is good for very active dogs who enjoy trail running and long chunks of time outdoors. DROP INS: I have very limited availability on this. It depends on my House Sitting clients and their needs. Since I give individualised care, I’m only able to do one drop in client. This is on a job to job basis and does change depending on overnight bookings. Please contact me as my calendar doesn’t reflect availability well. I’m currently taking on house sitting during the school year while I’m in Salem with Nashville clients in Dec/Jan and the summer months (only two weeks in June/July). I make all my furry clients a priority and try to take them with me to the park or on errands during the day if I’m busier than usual. However a normal day looks like long walks, lots of attention, cuddles, and activities. NEW: FLY IN clients! I have recently started doing high priority fly in client bookings. Bookings have been in New York and Nashville. If you, family, or friends need a sitter for weddings, long over seas trips, or care in another state, please reach out! When I’m in a clients home I pay special attention to each pet’s routine and try and match that as best I can. I ask for detailed notes, a thorough run through of each pets schedule, and any additional information on things that keep my clients pets comfortable.

About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

About: i’ve been caring for animals from a very young age. I love all of them from puppies with loads of energy to senior dogs who just like a short walk! I am a senior in high school so i can be there in the morning and especially during late afternoon and evening. I get out of school at 1:00 so i have most of the day after that and all day on weekends. I’m not able to take animals at my house but i’m more than happy staying at the pets house to accompany them during the night

About: I enjoy spending time with animals. I'm really passionate about it and will care for any animal as if it were my own child. I'm an extroverted person who enjoys being helpful and kind to animals thus, I'm genuinely happiest when I get to take care of a pet. I can take care of your pet at any time of day because my other employment allows me to have a flexible schedule. All I ask is a 24-hour heads-up. I take care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, walking them, and providing for their needs. If necessary, I can even give them a bath. I also offer all animals my time, attention, and compassion.

“10/10 Daniel is awesome! It’s obvious that he genuinely cares for animals and wants to make them happy and feel comfortable. It was really nice knowing our dog Teton was in good hands while we were at work.”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 10, varying from my own and other peoples cutie animals, walking, feeding, playing obviously! And just making sure they're all comfy and happy. I'm currently part time so anytime in the afternoon or evenings, I'm pretty flexible at the moment! Not looking to do any overnight sitting though I'm not using my own house to watch pets but whatever the owners have will work. Just paying attention to what they're doing and making sure to clean up and keep everyone happy!

“After a long stay with Skye, we were able to work with McKenzie again the weekend after for a few walks while we were at a festival. She was so amazing, taking Skye out on long walks and feeding her. We’re so happy we found her and can’t wait to work with her again!”

“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 😊”
