Dog Walking Vanport

“This was first time asking someone we didn’t know to watch our pups, and Robert eased my mind beyond expectation. He’s fantastic. If there was an option for 10 stars, I’d give him 12!!”

“Emily was kind and patient with Ollie! He's not an easy dog to walk, but she did a great job.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for years through volunteer work and as a trusted sitter for families. I volunteered at my local Humane Society for about 5 years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those that needed extra patience, structure, or medical attention. Many families have relied on me to care for their dogs during vacations or extended periods away. I’ve given all kinds of medications, worked with special needs dogs, and cared for both energetic pups and senior dogs. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved when they’re with me. I treat every pet like family and take pride in being dependable, attentive, and full of love for the animals I care for. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, your pet is in good hands with me! I’m available every weekday afternoon to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat care. Unfortunately, at this time I’m only available on some weekends I keep updated on my calendar! If you need care during the week, I’d love to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. During drop-in visits at your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine exactly—feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any medication needs—while keeping their environment calm and secure. I’m careful to respect their space and watch for any signs of stress or discomfort. For dog walking, I always use secure, well-fitted collars or harnesses and sturdy leashes. I stick to safe routes and avoid any hazards like busy roads or aggressive dogs. I keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior to ensure they’re comfortable and happy throughout the walk. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your dog for a walk, I’m fully committed to creating a positive, trusting experience for your pet. I’m happy to communicate regularly with you to share updates and make sure you feel confident and comfortable with the care your pet is receiving.

About: I have had cats and dogs of every kind since I was a baby. I started volunteering at a humane society and loved working with animals. Since graduating college, I have been working in the animal field for over a year now. I dog sit a friends house that has multiple animals that take different medications and specialized diets. My friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs during their days at work. I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. I take my dogs to parks or in open fields in the woods and let them run freely while playing with them. I take other dogs on long walks and play with them in the yard. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack!

About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.

“A great experience all the way around! Diesel and Dozer both love her. She is great with around 200 lbs of good boys on the end of 2 leashes. My boys kinda listen. Couldn't ask for more.”

“Courtney was so caring and loving to our mini australian shepherd. Our dog is just a year old and this is the first time that we’ve had to go on an overnight trip without her. We were gone 4 days and our dog was very anxious. Courtney was a calming, loving and caring presence for her. She did an excellent job. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her.”

“I've booked with Drew several times since 2022 and I have always felt my 2 dogs were in excellent hands. She is excellent communicating with me, on time and I know my dogs are in good hands. It was a relief when I had unexpectedly needed someone to walk Caddo and Tasha and found Drew was available. She's my go-to sitter!”

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

About: I have taken care of two large breed dogs for over a year. I brought them into my home when they were puppies, and cared for them as they grew into adult dogs. For dog walking, I am able to walk one or two dogs at one time. When walking my own dogs, sometimes I would like to go for a little run just to make sure the pups get the exercise they need. For dog sitting, I like to let the pup(s) out for plenty of bathroom breaks. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet is well-taken care of. I will be sure to provide a good amount of playtime for your pet to make sure he or she is having a good time! I'm currently working a shift evening schedule on Thursday-Saturday, so I have plenty of time during the traditional work week to look after your pets! I have a fenced yard and would love to spend time with your dog or cat! I would love to play games with your pet, take them on walks, and will be incredibly watchful over them to make sure they don't get into trouble.
