Dog Walkers in Takilma, OR

“I last minute needed a new dog walker for my two pups, and Jordan was able to jump right in and become that awesome, trusted, & reliable person we needed. He is great with my two high energy dogs, and we appreciate all his care, help, & time.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — and honestly, my favorite part. Whether it’s at a party or just out and about, you’ll usually find me hanging out with the cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of working with animals in many different settings over the years. I spent 7 years volunteering with a wildlife rescue organization, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I currently volunteer at Friends of the Animals Shelter, where I help care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, cuddly lap cats to independent and finicky felines — I’ve cared for them all. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their preferences, quirks, and routines to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My schedule is designed with your pet’s needs in mind! Outside of a few early morning hours at the bakery and a couple of flexible shifts volunteering at the shelter each week, my schedule is open to help keep you pet on their scheduled routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in to burn off some afternoon wiggles or providing a calm, loving presence for a senior companion, I’m happy to accommodate whatever care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, a play session to burn off some energy, or providing full in-house care, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home and totally pampered. If it's just a walk or playtime, you can count on me to keep things exciting and safe! I’ll tailor each outing to your pet’s vibe—whether they're a high-energy explorer who loves to run or a more relaxed companion who enjoys a leisurely stroll. Either way, we’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. For in-home care, I’m all about keeping things comfortable and familiar. I follow your pet’s routine to make them feel right at ease while you're away. Whether it’s feeding time, administering meds, or just giving them a cuddle session, I treat your home and your pet with the care they deserve. I’m all about making sure your pet gets the love and attention they need — whether that’s zoomies in the yard or just a cozy cuddle session on the couch. You can relax knowing they’ll have a blast, feel safe, and be spoiled rotten while you’re away!

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals for years—whether it’s my own cats, friends’ pets, or family’s furry, scaly, or feathery companions. I’ve got hands-on experience with everything from feeding and playtime to administering medication and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m expanding my pet care experience because, let’s face it, I just can't get enough of animals and need more to care for. Whether your pet is a dog, cat, bunny, or even a reptile, I treat them like my own—safe, loved, and happy. As a teacher, my weekdays are pretty packed, but I’m available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I know how important your pets are, so I’m happy to fit visits, walks, or cuddles into my schedule whenever I can. Once summer rolls around, I’ll have a lot more flexibility and will be available most days, as I’ll be staying in the valley for the season. Your pets will get the love and attention they deserve, whether it’s a quick visit or a long weekend stay! I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, where your pets feel most secure and at ease. I’ll stick to your pet’s usual routine, from feeding and playtime to any special care needs like medication or extra cuddles. Since I have two cats at home, I’ll make sure to give your pets my full attention while I’m with them, and I don't bring my cats along—this is all about your fur babies. I treat your home like my own, making sure everything stays neat and your pets feel loved and safe in their own environment.

“Athena was great to work with. She responded right away to our dog-walking request and even rearranged her schedule a little bit to make sure she got to meet our two dogs (they liked her immediately). She is great about communicating. She sent photos and updates after each walk, which made me feel reassured that they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to use Athena's services again!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs. I have trained puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. Very well versed in all things dog related. I currently own my own business and work for myself. So my schedule can be open anytime to fit the needs of my clients schedule. I have a fenced yard on 7.5 acres. I have one very friendly bordoodle and two cats. I am also very aware of dogs needs and keep a good eye on them.

About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

“Allyse and my young Golden hit it off instantly, one reason being that Allyse takes her to new and wonderful places and returns her happily exhausted. My own experience of Allyse is that she's easy to work with, can be flexible when her schedule allows, and is highly reliable.”

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawaked." - Anatole France I have grown up with dogs for almost my entire life. I have also have pet sat before and can provide references. I have a 5 year old male pug named Tyson. He is an only child and is very friendly and loves having buddies to play with (with that being said in order for me to watch your dog they must be okay with other dogs.) I would prefer to meet your dog ahead of time before any overnight visits if possible. As a dog owner I know what an important role they play in our lives. They are family. I know how vital it is to have someone responsible that you can trust to make sure they are kept safe and happy while you are away. And if I watch your dog I will make sure that happens and treat them just as I treat my own. My schedule can be pretty flexible, especially with enough notice. The more notice the better of course. I prefer to take dogs that can be left at least for a couple hours if I have them for multiple nights. I live in an apartment and have a little pug that gets along with everyone. He comes with me on house sits. When dogs stay at my place I take them out on leash to potty and walk them.

About: I have always loved and had pets. I love them even more now that Im an adult. I have worked in the pet industry for many years and think I have a greater knowledge of care. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish (fresh and salt), birds, reptiles, anphibians, hamsters, and even chickens. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats right now. I have been involved with a local animal rescue. We have help rescue several young dogs as well as a litter of puppies. I have family and friends that I sit for on a regular. Sometime I end up watering the yard and gardens. Fur babies are a huge part of my life everyday. I feel like my pets are important family members. I probably spoil my dogs terribly. I make them there own bday cakes. I also make homemade ice cream. I add veggies to there food. I make sure they have good toys for interacting. I spend a good amount of time interacting scratching, and talking to my regular fur babies. When in someones home I mind my own business. I try to leave no trace I was there. Cleaning up what ever I use. Respect is very important.
