Dog Walkers in Willamina, OR

About: I am a huge dog person and have had a dog since the day I was born. When I was younger I was always volunteering at animal shelters and vet offices. I enjoy spending as much time with my own dog as possible and would love to have yours along for the ride. We like to hop in the car and go on adventures to all sorts of different parks and places. I also live on a 10 acre property with plenty of room to run around and beds to snuggle on. I love taking dogs on walks, even in the rain. I am a responsible, caring person and will treat your dog or cat like my own. My dog is very friendly and gets along with all other animals.

“My husband and I met Alisha in October for a meet and greet with Milo, our mixed yellow lab and golden retriever. The meeting was for an upcoming trip during the Christmas holidays. We instantly liked her, she was on time when she came, she was professional, she bonded right away with Milo. Soon after I booked a three day walk in November just to reconnect again with her. It was for a 30 minute walk and again she was on time and I love the fact that I get a text and a pic of the walk. Tomorrow will be the start of a 13 day house sitting and we feel confident about the whole thing knowing that Milo will not be neglected. We’re glad we came across her at Rover. I highly recommend her.”

About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place.

About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.

About: I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. Recently graduated with a bachelors degree as well as running a creative art business from home, I create lots of time in my days to be on call for you and your pet(s)! Home for me is located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland, so I can provide more care across cities. For me, pet care is fulfilling and provides normalcy to my days. Whether it is my roommates 2 tuxedo cats with opposite personalities, my best friends cats, family, friends' dogs, neighbors, or somebody I just met in need of pet care, I am there! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Your fur baby's safety and well-being is my top priority. I strive to ensure clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their loved ones in my hands. Please make sure you inform me of any bad/unwanted (or good!) habits your pet may have so I can provide the best care I can. I enjoy sending pictures and video updates of pets to owners throughout the day- feel free to ask for more (or less!) I do not offer my home for boarding. While in your home, whether it be drop-ins or stay-ins, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness and privacy of your space and neighbors. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly.

I also have knowledge with rodents, cats, horses and other farm animals. I work 3 12 hour shifts Friday through Sunday. I get home around 6:30 those days but drive in the Yamhill/McMinnville area so stopping in for a quick walk or dinner wouldn't be a problem at all. My schedule Monday through Thursday is completely wide open for walking, drop ins, or pet sitting, however I will not be able to pet sit Thursday night through Sunday. I have 5 dogs who are get along very well with other dogs once properly introduced. They range from 25 to 65 pounds, most of them are very active. I have extra kennels but I also have a designated dog room with a comfy couch that two of my five sleep on at night. I live on quarter of an acre with a fully fenced in yard.

“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”

“My two dogs, Basil and Zeus had a great time with Leanna! Leanna came to my house two days in a row on short notice to walk my boys when I couldn't get home in time.

About: I have been a pet caregiver since I was a very small girl. I have helped Mama's deliver babies when needed. I have even done mouth to mouth and chest compressions on new horns a few times when needed. I have a huge heart for pets and animals of all kinds. My family of pets are trained either to alert me to go potty, use a box or crate themselves. I am able to give medication as needed and bathe if needed. My children are PET TRAINED. I have very strict rules in place about all animals big or small. I really hope you consider us in your upcoming needs. Happy New Year! I am always home except for appointments which we can discuss and decide if on those days I can meet your pets needs or if another sitter is better. I do not smoke in my home. I have 4 children, all pet trained and pet friendly. I do not have a large or fenced yard BUT I have an absolutely amazing park that abuts to my house so there is plenty of opportunity to run and play. I am at home all day for the entire week so I am able to keep a good schedule for my fury clients. I don’t have a problem with med or potty schedules. I listen to their needs. I watch for cues to hunger or need to potty. I feed and walk my pets or clients pets. When they need bathed I handle that as well. Medications in my house are no problem at all as over the years I’ve learned a lot about injectable and oral medications. I’m not the master for certain but I try my best to be your pets next best friend while I am with them.

About: Well I’ve had cats all my life but I do love dogs! I have done over night(s)! I love taking dogs for walks & to parks to run around and possibly play with other dogs I’ve helped with a friend of mine dogs while his other family members were off on a camping trip so I took them out for potty a few times a day, fed them, & played with them. I’m definitely an animal lover who loves being outdoors and helping out if and when needed I’ve been told multiple times that I’m a cat/dog whisperer if you know what I mean by that. If there is anything in particular you wanna know feel free to ask. I currently am a homemaker and do have my own vehicle. I currently have a very open schedule but I do not drive. My partner drives me (or animals!) wherever I need to go. First things first I like to have a conversation with the clients about their pet specific needs and schedules. If a, “In-home” pet sitting is needed, I also like to go over any house or home rules. This can vary depending on the animal.

About: For over 3 years now I have had the wonderful opportunity to be a full time sitter for all sorts of wonderful animals with beautiful personalities. I have met dozens of dogs, sat bunnies, cats, birds, and reptiles. Before that I spent my entire life loving and caring for animals😊 My schedule is extremely flexible, so my availability really depends on the needs of the animals. Any time of day I am happy to hang out with some awesome pets!😊 I am happy to hang out with your animals in whatever environment they prefer. For example, if a dog loves to be outside, you bet I will be out there all day with it😊 I always do my best to follow rules and instructions given to me by the client; The pets happiness and safety are my #1 priority. My time is completely oriented around the needs of the pet I am sitting. So if they are up and about all night then I can be up and about all night. If they are lazy, I can be too. All that matters is that their needs are being met above all else😊 Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pet sitting. Beyond that I also prioritize the special instructions, needs, and concerns of my clients. For example, if your fur baby needs medication and to be supervised while they go outside, I will make it my mission to do so to the client's specifications.😊
