Dog Walking Union

About: I’ve had & been around dogs of all sizes, breeds, & ages all my life & love all dogs ! I grew up with a Maltese Shih Tzu, Rottweilers, & a Yorkie & was involved in all of their training as well. I was always the go-to kid in my neighborhoods for dog walking & pet sitting when neighbors went out of town. From Huskies & German Shepherds to Pugs & Staffy’s, I’ve been around them all & am excited to start caring for your furry friend just like my own :) Currently completely open !! Can do early morning walks, midday play dates, evening feedings, & everything else in between to help ease your load !! I’m great with lists & open communication !! Want to make sure that your dog’s needs are met wether that be getting in their daily walk or running around the backyard & being fed while you’re at work or keeping them company & on their schedule while you get in your vacay !!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and rabbits through 4-H, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I also volunteered at the Napa Animal Shelter, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassion. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I’ve also fostered kittens, which gave me experience caring for young animals and paying close attention to their individual needs. I currently have two dogs and four cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away !!! Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy, it's what I’ve chosen to dedicate my time to. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities, I understand that trust is everything. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I’ll provide calm, compassionate care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit !!

“Michelle was great! Her communication is excellent and she really put my pup at ease. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for a wide variety of species. Throughout my life, my family has almost always had at least one dog, and I grew up caring for rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I want to provide the best care to a small number of pets at any given time. I am also independently insured with pet sitter insurance. In addition to hands-on animal care, I have extensive professional experience assisting with veterinary procedures and am confident administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and other routine treatments as directed. I also have significant experience using positive reinforcement training methods to help animals learn appropriate behaviors while building trust, confidence, and a positive relationship. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each dog's personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, sniff, play, and exercise. I strive to create a calm, safe, and enriching environment where pets feel comfortable and at home while you're away. I always prefer to do a meet and greet whenever possible to make sure my home is the right fit for your animal. Whether your pet needs daily care, medication administration, exercise, or simply companionship, I will treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being well cared for. I look forward to getting to know you and your animals! I am generally at home though I do leave at times for errands or volunteer work. During the afternoons I'm often taking my kids to various activities. I have a fenced in yard with dog door access to the house. We have one very friendly wheaten terrier who is 2 years old and loves to play with other dogs. He is also calm with older dogs who are not as active and playful. Additionally my house is set up in a way that I can easily separate dogs of different energy levels as needed.

About: I have pets of my own. I have cared for cats and dogs, bunnies, and chickens. I am available to clean up, feed, walk, whatever is needed. I am currently available most days for a few hours. I am able to check on your pets, stay with them for a little play/cuddle time, clean up and even walk them if needed. I am willing to come to your home and take care of your pets. Following your instructions, I will help your pets to be well cared for while you are away.

About: I have trained my personal dogs with basic commands and helpful safety training so the dog and human are safe. Can assist with puppy training and leash walking as well. I adore all cats and the strong willed personalities. Birds including chickens are also in my wheel house. My flexible schedule gives me the opportunity to care for your pet through the day in a mellow and calm environment. Multiple neighborhood walks and fetch are on the daily itinerary. I am comfortable with crate training dogs, and or free roaming pups. If your dog pulls on walks, I am delighted to have the patience to work on stopping this trait to make walking a breeze for you in the future.

“Aimee is amazing! My dog is a senior with neurological issues, and tends to be hesitant around strangers. Aimee’s calm, loving demeanor put him at ease immediately and they were best pals from the start. It was 90 degrees outside and Aimee had the experience and good judgement to find an alternative exercise, playing ball in the backyard to keep his feet and body cool. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby! I’ll definitely use Aimee again! <3”

About: I love animals more than people! Been petsitting all my life. First to offer my friends and neighbors to be Auntie to their little muffins. I owned a petsitting and dog training business in Portland for many years... had to move and change jobs but I still love having as many furfriends as possible! I consider myself very intuitive and always respect a pets boundaries. Listening is key and watching for body language. I will take the very best care of your home and pet!! Just like they were my own. I work for myself and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around what works best for you. Great at time management and super reliable. I prefer sitting at my clients homes and have extensive experience with housesitting alone. I have managed luxury homes and can offer extra things like plant watering, mail pickup, coordinating with staff, etc.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner my entire life. I have experience with all types of dogs (big to small, puppies to seniors). All have their unique challenges and I am more than happy to meet your pet’s specific needs. I am a recently retired from my previous career, which means I have even more time to spend with your pup. I am available most days to meet both you and your dog’s schedule. I know every dog has very unique needs to make them feel safe and trust others. I prefer to arrange a quick meet and greet if possible before scheduled services to make sure your dog is comfortable when I come to visit.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, through every stage of their lives. Growing up with dogs, they have always been like family to me. I’ve had experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats and have also worked at a doggy daycare / boarding center. Spending time with furry friends never feels like work to me. I am fortunate to live at home where I know my own dog is always cared for when I am away, so I can confidently care for yours too! I always enjoy being able to go for walks and make visits during the day in between managing my other responsibilities. As a student, I typically have more availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am happy to visit and walk with your pups during the day, providing them each the individual care that they deserve. I am open to doing group walks as well, depending on your pet’s preferences. I am also able to pet sit, where I can care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home!

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Weekly, I ensure pets get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and any special care they may require, like administering medication or grooming. Pet care is a rewarding part of my schedule, and I make sure to provide a structured and loving environment for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. Pets receive regular meals, daily walks, and engaging activities to keep them happy and healthy. I also provide lots of attention and affection, treating them like family members. Whether it's grooming, training, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure during their stay.

About: I am not your typical sitter; working with animals is just a way of life. There isn't a single animal I wouldn't love to work with! Whether it's your common household pet, your barnyard companions, or even the more unusual exotic creatures, I possess the expertise to care for them all! Rest assured, your pet will be in excellent hands when you choose to book with me. If your pet has any special requirements, I am more than willing to accommodate them. I also have experience in administering medication to all types of animals. Caring is simply my nature; I spend my days working full-time with animals while pursuing a degree in biology. Additionally, I am a mom. I constantly stay busy and engaged with both my children and pets. Your pets will receive the same treatment and respect as my own. They will be showered with all the love possible! While you are away, your pets will enjoy my full attention and care.
