Dog Walking Sunriver

About: Life-long animal lover with deep respect for the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Animals are a very important part of my life & I understand that each have their own personality, needs and routines. Whether it is energetic playtime, quiet companionship or extra patience for senior pets, I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections. Pet care isn’t just a task for me - it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I am home for much of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, strict meal time schedule and plenty of loving interaction. We have dog parks & miles of walking trails in the resort, allowing for active play or quiet downtime…adapted to each pet’s individual needs. We have a consistent pet-focused routine as we have a wonderful 1yo Golden Retriever at home. She is sweet, playful and keeps us focused on regular interaction, exercise and mental stimulation.

“Ginny has walked my senior boy weekly for several months. She is very patient with him, going at his pace and letting him sniff more than walk. Ginny is excellent communicator, always on time and genuine nice person. And best of all Saru loves her and is always happy to go on a walk with her. I can't recommend her higher and you will be lucky to have her walk you dog.”

“Taunya helped my fiancé and I in a pinch when we needed our dog walked while we skied. She was communicative, prompt and sent photos even though it was only a 30 min walk! I really appreciated knowing how our baby was doing while we were out for the day. If you need someone to care for your pup in Bend, definitely recommend Taunya!”

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Secondly, I charge the rates I do as I do this professionally and take my job very seriously. I’m caring for your animals 24 hours a day and provide top rate above and beyond service to your animal. As such, I charge the rates I do as it’s a reflection of the quality of care I provide & allows me to still barely make a livable wage. When you do the hard math, I’m still making less than $20 an hr, it’s the passion not the the $$ driving this train!!!! - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 10 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), 3 year old Basset named Boone (best ‘Bass Hole’ round!), & 11 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs & cat are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.

About: I've had a love for animals my whole life & have spent the last 5 years working as a dog groomer. During that time I've cared for dogs ranging from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience & support. I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified. I've worked with puppers who have special needs, including allergies, mobility challenges, heart murmurs, brachycephalic breeds, & other health concerns. I've been trained on critical & non critical signs of stress, so I know when things are concerning & always keep pet parents informed. I'm also comfortable handing nervous, reactive, & challenging dogs. I currently work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule & allows me to dedicate plenty of time & attention to any pet in my care. Aside from the occasional errand, I'm available to spend most of the day with your pet, keeping them company and maintaining their normal routine. I offer drop in visits overnight, stays and extended care. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and 1 on 1 time while you're away. While caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Before each stay, I'd love to learn about your pets, so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar. I'll carefully follow instructions for meals, walks, potty breaks, and any other routine your pet relies on beyond meeting their basic needs. I want their time with me to feel like a vacation. That means extra playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, cuddles, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time while you're away.
