Dog Walking West Stayton

About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of experience, intuition, and calm presence I bring to every animal I care for. I’ve trained my own husky from puppyhood and lived with cats my whole life, so I understand a wide range of behaviors and needs. I don’t rush animals—I read their cues, build trust, and adjust to their comfort level. Whether it’s a long walk or quiet company, your pet will get thoughtful, grounded care that helps them feel safe and understood. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My own husky keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks, play, and feeding, so adding more pets into that flow feels natural. I plan my day around their needs—morning exercise, midday check-ins, and relaxed evening wind-downs—so your pet’s routine will fit smoothly into mine. I care for pets in their own home the same way I care for mine—with respect, consistency, and calm energy. I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine familiar and stress-free. That means keeping feeding times, walks, and play sessions on schedule, giving plenty of attention, and leaving your space as neat as I found it. My goal is for your pets to feel safe and relaxed until you’re home again.

I am a proud owner of several huskies and a Siamese cat currently. I am a teacher during the day during the school year but have evenings free and any time on the weekends. I’m available most anytime during the summer months. I am a runner and a dog sport enthusiast. I frequently engage in urban mushing with my huskies.

About: I have been caring for pets my whole life; I use a positive approach to interacting with animals and have lots of patience with stubbornness. My last foster had major knee surgery and is successfully recovered and is with her forever family! I only work part time. When I am home my animals have unlimited access to the fenced back yard and as many toys as their hearts desire. I play fetch, chase, and tug on a rainy cold day; I have interactive toys as well! On nicer days we go on long walks! I treat animals like they are my kids, they take up more of my bed and couches than I do! I'm the type of person that meets someone new, but bonds with their dog or cat faster.

About: Growing up with dogs, I cleaned up poop and washed them thoroughly. At 12 I began my pet care service within my neighborhood and served about 10 clients one with very specific medical needs. I am dedicated to creating a positive and comfortable atmosphere for your pet whether it be in your home or on a walk. Furthermore, I have experience in training and managing behaviors of dogs as I have dealt with many temperments of dogs. I am a natural when it comes to identifying and forming my service around the personality of the dog. Any direction given to me will be followed with the utmost importance and professionalism and maybe a few dog treats. My name is Laurel and I am excited to begin this joyous journey with you and your dog. I currently am in graduate school for counseling. This leaves me with a unique schedule where I am gone for 5-6 hours Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I am dedicated to making sure your animal receives the same detailed care as you give despite these restrictions. I keep an eye on the safety and environment of your pet by consistently checking surroundings. I am also aware of the dogs body language, being taught that in my own dogs training.

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

About: I have a love for ALL animals and always have. Over the last several years I have been working in the vetinary industry and absolutely love it! I have been able to be there when a family gets their newly adopted puppy up to date on shots, as well as prepare for other pups farewell journey over the rainbow bridge and all the in-between. My four-legged friends become part of my family once they are in my care. Your fur babies will be treated with the same love and compassion as my very own. In having a wide range of experiences while at th I have had lots of experiences and opportunities to see up close and personal some of the concerns that can come up with certain breeds or pups in general and ways or solutions to the challenges that arise. All of this has made me even more knowledgeable and aware of the signs that we must look for in order to keep a happy, healthy pet. This makes me an excellent sitter as you know that I am truly invested in the safety and health of all animals in my care. I give all of the love and attention to your fur babies and act as if they are my own. My goals are safety, communication and fun for your fur babies! If you want a quality, kind- hearted, knowledgeable sitter, look no further! On my days off from the clinic I enjoy walking and visiting with your fur babies. I love to walk, go on adventures and of course who doesn't like to cuddle! My home is animal central. My little’s get along with just about everyone and every pet. They have their set food schedules and serving sizes so they stay happy and healthy. They get tons of outside time and lots of cuddles, which all of them deserve!🐾

“Erin was amazing through and through.”

“We love Whitney, but, more importantly, our dog does! He's a bit skittish and slow to warm up to new people, but he looks forward to his daily walks with her (I can tell because he gets depressed on weekends when she's not there ;) ) She's reliable and quick to communicate, and we trust her with Bismarck.”
