Dog Walking In Wilkes

“Makenzie walked my two dogs for 16 days straight while I was away on a trip. She was both dependable and professional. I would heartily recommend her.”

“Anna has been wonderful with my Australian shepherd puppy! Penelope required a lot of attention and likes to pull and get distracted on walks but Anna has been patient with her, worked with her, played with her, and overall taken great care of my dog. Highly recommend her for any pet care services!”

About: I have always had animals my whole life. The love of my life was an orange tabby named Pumpkin that I had for 17 years. I have always had dogs all shapes and sizes, as well as ferrets, rats and a snake! I am experienced with medication administration for both cats and dogs, injection medications for cats, dietary restrictions, grooming and wound care for animals. I am especially great with senior animals. Let me know what your critters favorite treats are and I will be sure to provide! I am working part-time and available anytime after 10am most weekdays, meaning I can check on your critters or walk your pups during the day. I am very aware of pet behavior. When visiting your home, I will be sure to make sure things are safe and secure for your loved one.

“Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole did a great job taking my dog for walks/play at the park. I came home to a happy tired pup. She’s a good communicator, quickly responds to any questions, and reliably showed up when agreed upon. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: My love for dogs goes way beyond just having one of my own. I’ve been a proud dog mom to Izzy, my sweet 65 lb companion, for nearly 7 years. Most recently, Over the years I’ve also cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes for friends and family, from tiny lap dogs to large breeds, so your pup is in experienced, loving hands no matter their size. I also have experience with reactive dogs. I treat every dog like my own because that’s genuinely just how I’m wired. Pet care fits naturally and genuinely into my everyday life. My schedule is built around flexibility and routine - which is great news for your dog! I’m available early mornings, midday, and can accommodate late evening needs after 7:30 PM so whether you need a morning walk before work or a midday check-in, I’ve got you covered. Dogs thrive on consistency and presence, and that’s exactly what I can offer. Your pup won’t just be a booking on my calendar they’ll be a welcome part of our day. Before any walk, I take a few minutes to connect with your pup and let them get comfortable with me no rushing, no stress. I believe a relaxed dog makes for a better and safer walk for everyone. I stick to dog-friendly routes through our neighborhood and nearby parks, always keeping your dog leashed and under close supervision. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know that every dog walks a little differently, some need a leisurely stroll, others need to burn some serious energy, and I’m happy to match whatever your dog needs that day. During every walk you can expect: • A safe, attentive walker who treats your dog like my own • Updates and photos so you know how the walk went • Plenty of sniff breaks because that’s half the fun for them! I genuinely love dogs and it shows. Your pup will come home happy, tired, and well cared for.

“Emily did a great job walking and dropping in to play with our sweet but hyperactive dog. She was very communicative, helpful, and clearly cared about our dog.”

Andrea C.

“Both our dogs accepted Jade from the start and have enjoyed their walks with Jade.”

Beth B.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: Hello! I go by Shiloh. My pronouns are they and them. I'm currently studying veterinary technology at Ashworth College. I've always had animals at home, including cats, dogs, and small animals! I also used to volunteer to socialize animals and walk dogs at SPCA of Anne Arundel County for 3 years. This included giving affection to cats, dogs, and small animals while helping to connect individuals with potential adopters as well as walking dogs. I used to walk dogs outside of volunteer work too, but I was only doing it for volunteering for a bit due to being busy. I have hands on experience fostering puppies in the past, as well as having experience fostering an adult dog. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19. My first priority is to make sure that your animals have their basic needs, like food, water and exercise. But another major priority of mine is to be flexible in providing anything they may seem to want enrichment from in the moment, such as play or cuddles. My schedule is very flexible because my classes are fully online. I am seeking more regular walks, drop-in visits, and sitting work. My school can be adjusted to fit working needs. I work with whatever is comfortable with every individual, and I always ask questions if anything comes up! I like to provide extra enrichment for animals, like CatTV, with approval of the fur babies' parents.

“Kristopher has great energy and you can see his love for animals. He was kind and loving to my new dog that I just adopted 3 months ago. He communicates well and keeps you informed. I'm looking forward to his next visit with my puppers.”

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.

“Margaret was wonderful. I had to change my arrangements with her several times and she was very accommodating and understanding. She sent very sweet updates about my pups, even working with the intense heat to find them a shady route and making sure they stayed hydrated. Loved the pics I received too—it was perfect because I really missed my doggies while I was away!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. I know there are a lot of people on this site, who fluff their profiles and just do this for extra money. But, my life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a deep understanding of dog psychology and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining calm and assertive when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the east Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates and dog run fencing in our fenced backyard. Open to small dogs for boarding and daycare.
