Dog Walking Walterville

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one. I grew up in a pet-loving family and later adopted two huskies of my own, whom I’ve spent the last six years training and adventuring with. As a cat, dog, and fish owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m friendly, reliable, communicative, and dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an educator with summers off, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me tending my garden, walking my two dogs, or paddle boarding. I love spending time outdoors and can provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel secure, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m experienced with solo and tandem leash walking for multiple dogs and of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. I am also comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, and accommodating special care instructions. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.

About: I have had the joy of sharing life with a wide variety of dogs in my time. I have lived with cats, small dogs and big dogs. I tend to prefer the bigger dogs myself, because I love their cuddles. I have also cohabitated with cats, and enjoy their cuddles and purr vibrations. I have trained all of my dogs with the positive reinforcement method. I understand that dogs love to have boundaries made clear, so that they can feel safe. I do not raise my voice with dogs, and focus on reinforcing the positive choices that they make. I am experienced with giving medications to animals, even grumpy senior cats. I am patient with all animals, reliable and responsible for all pet owners. I value having a trustworthy petsitter for my own pets, and want to offer that to others in return. I am currently available anytime for pet care. I have some hobbies, but can easily schedule around them. With my own dogs, I am very active. We go on walks daily and often do road trips to the beach. I care for pets with patience and respect for the animals needs as well as the owners requests and preferences. I am very clean and organized, and will leave any space I am in clean.

“She did great. Showed up on time, ready to walk with my anxious pooch. Could tell my dog really liked her and felt comfortable with her. Will definitely use her again!”

“Jase came for a meet and greet and was awesome! My pup instantly took to her and she asked great questions. She was kind and accommodating and even walked with us in the rain. I’m happy to have found someone for regular visits.”

About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m thrilled to help care for your furry family members. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I can ensure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. Let’s make some tails wag together! Im currently working on some extra schooling certifications while my husband works full time. I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your pets! I like to offer anything I can while I care for pets. Whatever they need, im there for! Extended walks, longer playtime, medication assistance, and anything in between!

“My doodles love Kathryn! She is so good with them and will either take them for walks or over to the dog park which they thoroughly enjoy. So far she has been a godsend! Very good communications and always timely (I am tipping in cash)”

“Cassandra was awesome! She arrived on time for each walk. Koda was ready to relax after his walks which is important for a husky:) I'll be asking Cassandra again when I'm not able to give Koda his daily walks.”

About: I work in healthcare as my full time job so I have knowledge of caring for humans which can be similar in some ways to caring for the furry population. I have 2 German Shepherds and a golden that I have raised since they were 8 and 9 weeks old! I am familiar with potty training and crate training. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I love them as if they were my own! I am available M-Th for walks, drop ins and sittings as I work weekends. I may be able to consider certain requests with advance notice. When I’m not busy, I love to spend time with four legged friends! I have a fenced yard and live very close to a dog park. I have experience with oral medication and am willing to help train if requested.

About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. I still have that cat today she is 16 and a 1 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)

About: It’s been rough - three rainbow bridge trips in short order. I need more time before I go down that road again, but in the meantime, I will happily love your dog (or cat, or parrot, or lizard, or...?) as if s/he were my own. I have a special fondness for seniors and special needs, but I’m game for anything. And, who doesn’t like puppies and an in-the-prime-of-lifer?? Ornery, shy, suspicious, or complicated personalities happily embraced. I am patient and sensitive to the fact that some animals need lots of closeness and reassurance while others need their space. I’m willing to work to earn their trust and set appropriate boundaries to earn yours. The pet and owner and I will work together to set the terms of our relationship, and I promise to be a most excellent guardian catering to each individual’s needs. My most consistent regular obligation is a daily trip to the barn to take care of my horse, but if needed, I have alternate coverage. I try to keep my presence low profile while I’m there. I appreciate the trust that comes with visiting in someone else’s home. When you come home, it’s nice for everyone if you can barely tell I was there.

“Very responsive and sent great pics of our dog. We will definitely work with Mia again!”

About: I've always owned a cat or dog since I was 5 years old and my father has been a vet technician for 45 years. I love going on walks and making sure animals get some exercise and all the love! I do work a full time job during the week and have my own dog but weekends I'm open and free as he goes to his grandma's for a visit. I do live in an apartment so dogs are always on leash and if I were to watch an animal at my home, my dog would go to his grandma's.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life growing up. I currently own a rescue pit mix who is my whole world and best friend. I’m an active sitter who is willing to run, walk, or play fetch with your dog. I love playing with and cuddling with cats as well. My family was big into dog training growing so I can work well with puppies. I also have experience with medicine as my family cat as been sick and my dog was adopted with heart worms. I have a huge heart for animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a part time job and a remote job that are both very flexible. I can be available at any time of the day or week. I unfortunately can not have pets in my home since it is very small. However, when I stay with clients pets in their home I always treat it with the most respect. I treat every pet as if they are my own and every house as if it is mine.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.

About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.

About: I have been a regular dog and house sitter for a family in the Eugene/Springfield area for 5 years. The family had 3 dogs. Duration of length of pet and house sit varied from one overnight to a month. I have also done feline check-ins for a a friends. Have done one-time-only pet sits for other people and regular pet sits for housemates with their own pets. I'm currently unemployed. I have ample time to prioritize care for your pet. I am seeking part time employment. If found, this will extend the hours of day that your pet is left alone in the house. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting with the two German Shepards (Satori and Jazzy) my parents had when I was born all the way up to my two cats (Lady and Tigerlily) and dog (Clyde) who bring me joy and purpose every day. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and goats, learning to care, appreciate and work with animals from a young age. I’ve been professionally pet and house sitting for 4 years now and have loved every second of it. I work part time doing data analytics remote work. I set my own schedule and I will always prioritize you, your pets and your home. I care for my own and my clients’ pets through keeping them company, making sure their physical, mental and medical needs are met and by keeping them to their routines. I lead with compassion, empathy and responsibility.

About: I’ve been a pet mom for years, love all critters and they tend to love me back. Look forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies. I work days M-F, from home most days, also available eves and weekends. Happy to board if personalities mesh with my pets; drop ins & walks are options also. I have a nicely fenced, safe and private back yard and a doggie door for dogs 45 lbs or so and under. I have a one year old Australian Labradoodle who loves to play.
