“Alison and Tom were fantastic with our three pomeranians! They first did a meet and greet to make sure they could learn everything they needed to know about their care and personalities. We really appreciated that extra step. They visited the boys exactly when they said they would and sent us pictures while were gone along with updates. I'm so glad we found them and will definitely enlist their services again.”
“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”
“a life savior!!! she helped me out when my other dog walker bailed very last minute! she was very responsive and saved me from calling out from work!! thank you thank you so so much!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 18 years old. Cut to 10 years later, I still have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats. I have done overnight sits, countless walks, check ins, and traveling with both pets! I’m a full time student and working part time, however, both of these duties are remote. I prefer walking in the morning or afternoon. Currently, I can do every day with some Saturday’s being reserved. I can crate your dog when needed, as well as provide care in the home or the owner’s yard for supervision. Whether large or small, senior or puppy, I can ensure safety and care for your furry pals!
About: I am returning to individualized pet care after working in professional pet industries for the past 4 years. I have worked in kennels, day cares, with rescue animals, and veterinary care. I am confident working with both dogs and cats of many temperaments and sizes. If your pet is shy, outgoing, or maybe reactive - that is no problem! I have previously been fear free certified and strive to meet each pet where they are at. I am in grad school online and work a couple of days a week- so I have a flexible schedule! For walks I am available early in the morning until sunset. For boarding- I can arrange my schedule to be home full time, if I am not my partner will be there! My dog is my baby and I will treat yours the exact same! Safety is my top priority. For walks, I will walk on your suggested route, and make sure your pup is secure. For boarding in my home, we have a pet friendly home (my dog gets into everything) and I am diligent to make sure all animals are safe and comfortable. We do not leave our dogs unsupervised.
About: Husband and wife team. We lost our loving wire fox terrier recently (October 2026) due to spinal dysfunction at age of 12 and a half. We couldn’t go another day without talking to dogs. We literally think dogs are godsend with lots and lots of love. Everything is better with dogs. Here we are on Rover to play and take care of your dogs. Thank you for sharing them with us. PS we admit, we are dogs people. (Although we had an indoor cat. We lost her last year at age 20). Besides our owns, we take good care of friends and family pets since we moved to Oregon almost a couple decades ago. We are familiar with parks and people (mostly dogs and owners we met during our walks in Beaverton and west Portland). Our weekdays routine is flexible. We occasionally accept weekend requests. We can help checking on your pets upon request. We love walking around nice neighborhoods and parks. It’s always fun for us to have dogs to walk with. Safety is always in our minds but we will make sure that they have a good time! We care for their health and happiness. Feel free to give us special instructions.
About: I've spent all of my life growing up with animas like dogs and cats. They have always brought me a ton of joy, so I am really excited to be given the opportunity to take care of them for people and provide them with a loving and safe environment. While I do not have major practical experience working with animals in an environment like a shelter or clinic, I have run a neighborhood dog walking business, and have always been trusted to watch animals for friends and families. If you are looking for animals to be trained, then I wouldn't be a great option. But if you are just looking for someone to take care of your animal for a few days and to show them a lot of love and attention and to keep them safe, then I truly think I would be a great option. I currently work part time, so I can always maneuver my schedule to fit whatever needs people have for their animals so that way I am always there to be with them. I do live in an apartment, but it haas access to outside areas with parks and walking paths. I like to spend a lot of time outside, whether that's going on walks or just relaxing, so the animals with me will honesty spend a lot of time outside of the house getting to have fun. Being cooped up inside I personally don't believe in for animals, so I think they will have a great time accompanying me outdoors
“Anastasia is absolutely amazing with my girls! She takes extra care by checking in on special requirements due to thier senior status each day. She sends me pictures and leaves me a note describing how the walk went and how the girls did. I trust Anastasia ensures safety and wellbeing are the top priority while she is with my girls. I will continue to request services from her for walking and other care needs! We are 100% happy!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and love to be around them. I am comfortable walking, boarding or pet sitting for large dogs, untrained dogs and reactive dogs. I am working just part time so am available sat-mon all day and just Tues-Friday I am available after 3:00. My husband starts work at noon so it is only 3 hours without someone home. (He is also a huge dog lover and is happy to meet anyone if that is uncomfortable to you). We love to board dogs because they get to come on adventures with us, we have met Santa, hiked waterfalls and so many other fun activities for pups. Please consider me for your dog care. 🦮 I am currently working part time and am available to board all days of the week and walks anytime expect for 7-3 on Tues-Friday. :) I am able to give any care that is regular at your home, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate. If you prefer your dog gets snuggles and love I’m happy to have them sleep in bed with me. Or anything else your pup or cat may need or want. Just communicate your routine and we can do the same.
About: I have grown up with animals and I have experience doing dog walking in the area. I have walked dogs of all sizes, from a Chihuahua to Bernese Mountain dog and I love all dogs. I am also a college runner and can take your dog on a run if they are high energy! I currently am a college student living in an apartment with a cat, I am unable to board any animals but I would be happy to pet-sit or do drop in visits! I am a student-athlete, which makes me a little more busy but I have time from 6-8AM, 11-1PM, and on most days 3-10PM I can keep your pet busy with pets, play time, walks, or whatever else they may need. I love spending time with animals and I would love to be able to take care of your pet while you cannot!
About: Hi, I’m Karissa — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, reliable presence and a genuine passion for helping pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs structure, gentle reassurance, or just a fun companion for the day, I show up with patience, consistency, and a lot of heart. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort and security they feel at home, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away! I’m in school and have time throughout the week to help out. Most days are a thumbs up for me! Hey Thanks for stopping by! Animals are the principals of our world. They teach us to live our lives! There is no leash tugging from me, consistent phone use, leave poop on the ground going on here. My walks and check ins are safe, reliable and fun with all animals.
“Jaide is awesome! She bonded with Mischa almost immediately, every day she was looking for Jaide to show up. She was friendly, energetic, and she loved taking Mischa on her walks! Highly recommend her!!”
About: I pride myself on being professional, kind, and easy to work with - that’s what I’d want in a sitter and that’s what I wish to provide you! I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had various different pets. Elderly, cranky, shy, doesn’t matter, I love them all! A little about me… I’m a Portland native born and raised. I’m self employed and love having the flexibility to offer care whenever you may need. I’m able to administer subcutaneous medicine and most other meds your animal may need. I can’t wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby. I am self employed so my schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. Just send me a description of what you need and I’ll try to make it work! Every pet is special in the sense they have their own personality and needs. The secret is letting them come to you to establish trust.
“Tina is great with my 65 lb. labradoodle! He can be a handful, but Tina’s got it covered! She is reliable, always communicates when she’s arrived, what they did during the visit, and when she leaves. I know he’s in good hands!”
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dogs and love going on walks with them! I have experience with nervous dogs and higher energy dogs, I've dog-sat rescues, 1-year-olds with their bouncing off the walls, and seniors. I help my mom with in-home child care during the week from Monday to Thursday but I have free time outside of that. I usually can start the day by 7am but will start moving earlier if the dog needs it! I have a smaller fenced backyard with some dog neighbors. We have some guinea pigs in our home but they're upstairs in an elevated cage with a gate at the bottom of the stairs. The neighborhood has a variety of routes I can go on of different lengths to fit your dog's needs.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in West Slope is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Slope
I couldn't possibly write a review good enough to express my appreciation and high praise for Danielle! So I'll just say, look no further. Danielle is an incredibly kind, punctual, communicative, and thoughtful person. She was always on time, quick to respond, and when the ground was damp, she even brought her own towel to wipe down my dog after their walk! She also leaves the best report cards. I hope she publishes a book of short stories about her dog walks; I would purchase it in a heartbeat >_< Repeat customer for life!
Erica is so amazing! Our little puppy was nervous the first few days, and Erica just sat and played with her until she was ready to go for a walk. I am continually impressed by Erica's intuition and how she goes above and beyond for our dog. You can really tell she cares!

The average cost of Dog Walking in West Slope is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in West Slope. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in West Slope after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Slope. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
