Dog Walking Van Mall

“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”

“Jessica did a great job with Toby! We really appreciated her taking the time to come meet him first and make sure he was comfortable. The walk went great and we appreciate the cute pictures!”

Regina & James T.

“Great, energetic young man who is just tremendous. Judson T has been walking our large Bernese Mtn dog for several weeks ( and into the next weeks.) as well as Doggy day care in our home. Can’t say enough about this lovely fellow. A privilege to meet his dogs Strider & Winnie May at our request Thanks Judson!”

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

“Alexis was prompt and communicative. I sent her to the wrong address first day and she was super flexible and willing to work with me. Appreciated all her help and will be using her services in the future.”

About: My family had a couple dogs growing up. I don’t remember a lot about the first but I would walk the second dog whenever I could. There wasn’t a time where I didn’t enjoy walking with her. The next thing I know, my aunt left behind a cat for us. I fed him each morning and night. He was a shy cat but happened to warm up to me quickly. Whenever he got a chance, he’d lay down on my lap. My family ended up with a Rover account. I walked those dogs and fed them whenever one of my family members couldn’t. Recently, we got a couple of cats. I feed these babies each morning and night. Typically I would do their litter too, yet, my family has the blessing of a cat genie. With every animal I’ve met, I make sure they get the attention they deserve, need, and want! Petting and playing around with cats and dogs is one of my favorite things to do. Or I could do the opposite if your animal doesn’t like to be pet! My schedule is really flexible, as I am currently unemployed but hoping I can find something. I am available for any kind of sit or drop in, whether it’s for just one day or for a long while. I like to go climbing and bowling with my boyfriend and friends but I’m stunted with a minor foot problem for the time being. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch any clients’ pets at my house. In my home, I put my best effort towards my pets to make sure they feel safe in our home. I play with them and let them rest where they find it comfortable. In any of my clients homes, I respect their wants and needs for how their animal should be taken care of. I ask that someone tell me if their dog is potty trained, if they are allowed on couches/furniture, and how often they need to be taken on a walk. I’ll give a lot of play time, pets and belly rubs to the dogs and cats!

About: I have taken care of elderly cats, sticking to a routine and administering saline treatment. I am energetic and fun for pets to be around. I'd love to take care of your pet while you're away and understand the importance of pictures and updates to know your best friend is safe and well cared for. I'm currently working full time as a sitter, dog walker and pet boarder. Focused on one pet boarding at a time. I only accept one pet/pet family at a time. I will take multiple pets but only from the same home. I have a fenced yard with space to run and play. I have one athletic and friendly dog, she is a 35 lb mixed breed who loves to chase balls, sticks and frisbees. She is friendly with other dogs, though cautious around large breeds, she warms up quickly. The backyard has easy access inside for all dogs, and water always available for pets.

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I love animals so much, each is so unique! I have also done extensive dog training with my corgi for 3 years, she has anxiety and reactivity issues. So I’m well versed in those behaviors in animals! I am a pediatric nurse at Randalls in Portland. Rover is something I do on the side for fun because I enjoy it! I also just bought my first home so the extra income is very helpful. I am currently moving into my new home which is very spacious. I personally crate my dog at night, but let her roam inside during the day. I can follow whatever directions you need for your fur baby!

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so from a young age, I was taught the importance of giving animals the specific care they need to thrive. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and never pass up the opportunity to make a new furry friend. I’m a work-from-home educator and cat parent just trying to make some extra income, so I will have plenty of free time for snuggles, treats, and chin scratches! I’m also a runner who would love to give your energetic pup the exercise they crave. Please reach out if I sound like a good fit, and I’d love to meet your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m a teacher with a pretty flexible schedule during the summer, so I will be free every day with the exception of a few weekend trips. I am also a high school distance running coach, so I will occasionally have summer runs with the kids to work around. I live in a small ADU with two cats of my own, so I can only offer pet care in your home. I also find this is the best way to limit stress for your pet and offer you the additional peace of mind of a house sitter if desired. I’m available for drop-in’s for pets who need their space or for overnight visits for those who need more company.

“Good experience, and friendly communication”

About: I've been around pets my entire life! I've had puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats ( our dog prefers the term golden girl vs senior.) I'm the kind of person that says hello to a dog on a walk before the human. Essentially animals bring me joy whenever I see them. Our current children include our 15 year dog named Demeter and a 10 year old cat named Zephyr. Do they run the show and our lives? Absolutely!! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets soon! I recently left my 13 year career in sales to go back to school and flip my career. That being said I have ample amounts of spare time (when I'm not in class) to meet your pets and treat them like my own. I can take any type of special requests and make sure your fur baby is happy and taken care of. Special needs? Done. Special diet? Done. Extra walks and cuddles? Done.
