Dog Walking in Wilkes, Portland, OR

About: I have spent lots of time taking care of and being with dogs since having my own dog in 3rd grade, as well as countless cats my family had grownup. I have had my own dog Bruce for the last 3 and a half years and am thrilled to use my extra time helping watch dogs who need it. I have been pet sitting for family and friends over the last few years and would love the chance to take care of your furry family. I work in the public school system, so I have lots of availability over the Summer. Let me know what you need and we can find something that works! I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to play and behind my yard is a large park in which to walk and play. I love going for walks, playing fetch, taking jogs together, and giving lots of pets! My schedule is variable, but currently have lots of time as I work as an educator and am off for the summer! Please share times that are best for you and we can make it work. I have a large, fully fenced, back yard which borders a park. My own doggo loves to play outside, lay in the sun, chase the squirrels on the fence, and talk with dogs that walk through the park.

About: If you're looking for a petsitter that is communicative, responsive, patient, consistent, and experienced, you're at the right place! I have taken care of cats and dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and ages! I care about your pets and ensure that I offer the best service that I can. Before and after walks, I always make sure that your pets are hydrated. In my Rover cards, I provide detailed descriptions of my visit/stay with your pets! If you're working on training your pets, I'll update you on improvements and behavior. Rest assured, I've got you covered. I'm currently working part-time as I am also a remote designer. I aim to conduct visits/walks during the day with preference of weekdays - however, I can be flexible when need be! I always have a checklist for my visits to ensure that I've got all grounds covered especially if I am working with multiple pets in a visit. For multiple occasions, I've had to take care of 3 dogs/cats for a visit with different dietary plans and needs.

“Great service, arrived between the hours I wanted & I am sure Nova loved her walk! Thank you Jade! (:”

“This is the first time I’ve used a dog walking service as I have always been hesitant to put my pup’s care in a strangers hands but Emily put my worries to rest. 10/10 I would highly recommend.”

“Jiwan is fantastic! She’s reliable, takes great care of our dog and cats, and gives really nice updates. She’s done drop ins for our cats as well as daily dog walks for our dog. I’m pretty sure she’s our dog’s BFF now and our cats were so healthy and happy after her visits. Highly recommended!”

Wendy L.

“Thank you for your helping our family as always”

“Anna has taken great care of my adolescent dog. Penny is still figuring out the transition from puppy to dog and can still be pretty nervous at times, but Anna has taken great care of her whether it is walks or play in the dog park or at home. I definitely recommend Anna! Penny is an angel too 🐶”

About: I’ve had all types of animals for most of my life. I currently have three dogs, two cats and two fish tanks between my partner and I. I love animals and have always had a special sense with them. My schedule is kind of odd. I work on Monday afternoons and I am a mobile bartender and my schedule for that is always changing. I am a great communicator though! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are extremely socialized. I have worked hard to keep them friendly and happy fur babies.i am competent and can keep multiple dogs under control on the leash or safely pass other dogs without reaction. I also have references if requested. I love everyone’s animal with the respect that they deserve.

About: One of my passions in life is pets and caring for them. As a graduate from Carrington College in veterinary assisting I learned valuable skills such as understanding animal behavior, CPR, nail trims and administering medications. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, lizards, fish, frogs and feel comfortable with nearly any type of pet. What I bring to pet care is a strong connection to animals, I feel a sense of responsibility and need to care for them and be their new best friend. I will always talk to pets & their owners when I see them on a bus, walking down the street, or in an outside restaurant. I am vegan, as I feel that all animals should be treated well. I do not impose my views on anyone but am happy to talk about it and offer advice if asked. OUTSIDE REVIEWS Heather took care of my young and active miniature Australian Labradoodle Maggie for 3 nights. She stayed at my home and did an amazing job. I came home to a calm and happy dog and my house was just as I left it . Maggie loved her and she loved Maggie. I felt 100 % confident that she was in good hands. She has experience with animals, loves them and has even had vet tech training in the past. Previously, when I left Maggie with a sitter for 3 days she didn’t eat and lost a pound, but with Heather she was just as I left her. I was delighted. Heather gets 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 I am free just about any time and duration, and can go anywhere that Tri-Met can take me if it's an hour or less travel time. I will take your dog to a park if it's within walking distance, or walk around the neighborhood, or play/run around in the yard or house as well.

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and neighbors including walking, feeding, and making sure they’re comfortable while their people are away. I’ve taken a couple of family dogs through obedience training and currently live with my own young Border Collie Whippet mix, Franky. He’s high-energy, sensitive, and incredibly smart so I know firsthand how important it is to balance structure, mental stimulation, and patience, especially with working breeds. I approach every pet with attentiveness and respect for their individual needs, and I’m now expanding my services beyond friends and family. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility to offer weekday and weekend dog walks. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s specific needs. I focus on dog walking, not in home boarding or sitting. I prioritize safety on walks by avoiding risky situations and respecting your dog’s needs and temperament.

“Claire is an absolute gem! She is very easy going, communicative and punctual. Our dog totally adores her and gets so excited when she sees Claire. We had a really wonderful experience and now feel inclined to integrate her into our routine on a weekly basis! She is truly awesome and would recommend her for your fur baby!”

About: Dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, rodents, farm animals. Experienced taking care of a large number of animals. Ran a homestead for three years with small livestock and have assisted other farms with their animals. I started my pet care with fish when I was ten. I adopted my first couple of cat companions fifteen years ago. My grandmother's old dog joined our family after she passed away until she joined her a few years later. I have a lot of experience training cats although I've haven't yet paid for a certification. My cats learn to play hunt before meals, high five, sit, come when called, etc. Our family currently includes two older male cats. Phobos is our most recent addition. An approximately eight year old stray at deaths door step. Fleas, eye infection, malnutrition, teeth rotting (only two didn't have to be pulled), and hiding in a corner in his own pee. Within a few short months he became a healthy, vibrant, well trained partner always looking for loves. I'm a school bus driver which leaves me with some open time in the middle of the day on school days and addition time on non-school days. With time in the middle of the day when I work I can often service two separate areas. North Portland and out near Gresham. I look forward to giving your furry family lots of attention and care. I'll pay close attention to your care requirements as every animal has different needs and desires. You can count on pictures to set your mind at ease.

“Rachel was awesome and extremely accommodating. I have a four-year-old golden retriever who has hip problems and she was accommodating to his needs and asked me questions about any thoughts and concerns that she had about my dog. I got updates and pictures throughout their walk and I will rebook in the future!!”

“First time with Brigit. Cooper was immediately comfortable with her. I appreciate that she asked lots of questions to ensure she knew his habits and likes, and my expectations. I look forward to Brigit taking care of Cooper again.”
