Dog Walking in Tualatin

“Taryn took great care of my anxious pup and was flexible and patient with him. I highly recommend her!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

“Everyone reported that Alyssa was really good with my brats. My SIL was really impressed with Alyssa's attire, where she had leashes, treats, doggie bags. My neighbors were quite impressed by the way she handled my dogs, and talked to them. My dogs seemed happy. Hopefully Alyssa would not mind coming back and caring for our dogs in the future. While I never really had the pleasure of meeting Alyssa, based on these reports I would love to hire her in the fall term 2-3 days a week.”

“Helped me out in a last minute request! My pup was so settled after his walks, I knew they had a good time and quality exercise. Also got to meet her dog, very gentle and sweet. 10/10”

About: Dogs are such a special part of our families. They speak so much love to us without saying a word. They truly teach us how to live in the moment, how to find joy in the little things and how to Love unconditionally. My life has been so richly blessed by having cared for these sweet Babies for most of my life. I have enjoyed raising a big variety of dog breeds....from the Gentle Giants down to the little toy breeds. I have also fostered and been a sitter for dogs as well. I have a special place in my heart for every single furry baby I have cared for. I will love any dog that I have the opportunity to meet/work with. I appreciate your trust in me with your sweet Baby. I am a stay at home mom of two teen girls and have two Golden Retrievers as well. I can be flexible. If you have a time that is not listed on my profile, please feel free to message me. There is a good chance I can work it out. :) I pay attention to the details you give me when watching your pets in your home, checking in on them, walking them. Safety for your baby is very important to me.

“Jeannine was great with my dog, who can sometimes be reactive around other dogs. I immediately felt very comfortable and my dog was a happy girl after her walk. Looking forward to using her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors. I also have volunteered at a local dog rescue, and I would walk dogs. I also volunteered for a cat shelter where I would clean and assist in enrichment activities for the cats. I am currently working a remote part time job. I have plenty of flexibility and am also an early riser. My job is flexible, and I am able to flex my hours. I always ensure that I sick to mealtime schedules and enrichment times. I will also support crate training and potty training, if needed. Making sure that your pet is supported based on their individual needs is important to me.

“Liz is great with my 🐶, even with short notice she was able to accommodate a walk for poppie, she always updates me on how my 🐕‍🦺 is doing and sends pictures of my 🐕‍🦺on their walk. Thank you Liz😀”

About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them, but I also have plenty of experience caring for cats. I’ve pet and house sat overnight multiple times for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with daily care, walks, feeding, and keeping pets company while you’re away. I also enjoy hiking and being outdoors, so if your dog loves walks and adventures, I know some great spots for dog walking and exercise. I’m currently a student at Hillsboro Aero Academy working toward becoming a pilot. I have flight lessons 3–5 days a week, but I’m usually only at school for about 2–3 hours at a time. Outside of flight training, I’m very flexible and available for pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions they provide. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on keeping pets active, safe, and happy while also giving updates to owners when needed. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays clean and secure while giving pets consistent care and company throughout the stay.

About: I grew up with dogs and cared for family/friends fur babies. I previously had 3 dogs at one point but now have 1 dog. I love getting to know the variety of personalities all animals share and express. Animals bring such joy and unconditional love to us that I pride myself in giving the best quality care and love to them as our own babies. I work a flexible remote job M-F which allows me to care for you pet all week including weekends. I enjoy playing or taking dogs on walks. I’m only available to care for pets in the owners home. I also like to send pictures/videos to pet owners to ensure their fur baby is happy and cared for. I appreciate the importance of a clean living space which is why I always leave the house as clean as I found it.

About: We can offer discounts on stays longer than 4 days. We do not offer them on holiday stays. Your dog will be loved and cared for as if it were my own dog Elijah! They will have all of the ear scratches and belly rubs it could ever want. Ours is an all girl home so if your dog has a fear of men then the fur baby would be content here. We do have cats so your dog being cat savvy is a must. Our animals are welcome to sleep with us in our beds and yours would be too if that is something they are used to. We are also not fans of kennels and do not use them with our own animals, but can if you prefer your dog to be in one. We are willing to go above and beyond for your fur baby to make them feel right at home while you are away. Also know that the prices are not fixed. If your dog is under a year and is house trained it gets the adult price. About this sitter: I am willing to watch your dog in your home to make your time away from your animal easier on him/ her. Keeping your dog in it's natural environment can ease the strain on your dog(s) and prevent stress caused by separation. I hope to help your dog(s) feel comfortable and happy while you are away. They will be loved like they were my own fur babies. I am also completely open to having my dog come to play with your dog if you would like. We could even arrange play dates if they get along swimmingly. I am more than willing to do anything to make your animals happy. Also know that your dog will be walked once for free each day I watch it. Dog walking prices are for overly active dogs and for people who JUST want their dog walked not dog-sat. I have been pet sitting for 8+ years Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a golden retriever, a black lab, and a mutt for 8 years. Then I spent 3 years of my life with a Pomeranian named Molly who is my god father's dog. I currently have one wonderful dog named Teramisu who I rescued from the shelter and have had since she was 9 months old. I love her very much. I have spent a lot of time dog sitting both full grown dogs and puppies as well. Meet my pets 6 cats About my yard I sadly do not have one right now. Or rather I have no personal yard. I live in a complex with a lot of green space and walking trials. I also live down the street from a really nice dog park as well. I do most of the sitting myself. I do on occasion have help from my older sister Misty. She and I have been pet sitting together for over 10 years. She steps in when an emergency keeps me away or a timing conflict with my day job or other sittings occur just to keep things running smooth and your pets well cared for. I work mornings and early afternoon. I am off around 3:30pm or earlier during the week currently and I am usually off on Fridays and Saturdays. I can work it around that otherwise. I am happy to offer dog walking, pop in visits, or daycare in your home. I live in an apartment and already have pets so I am unable to host pets in my home per my lease.

“Shelby was responsive to all communication and it was easy to work with her. She is flexible, which is great for me since I don't need someone daily, but intermittently. Barkley was happy to see me when I got home after a 12 hour day but he was not frantic like he is when I am gone 7! He was happy, fed, and quickly settled in for a quiet evening.”

“Mackenzie has been reliable and is super kind. My dog is always in such good spirits after a walk with her. Highly recommend.”
