Dog Walking Willamina

“Awesome! Takes great walks and is very reliable. Since she has been walking our puppy I have noticed such an improvement in her socially and how she behaves while out.”

About: I've owned dogs since I was 8. Almost 20 years. I've done all my own training. I've trained puppies, administered shots and medication to senior dogs and cats, and everything between. 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.

About: I was raised in a multi-animal house with multiple dogs and cats. Both of the dogs me and my family have taken care of are extremely high energy breeds with both a cattle dog and cattle dog / husky mix. I have house sat for multiple friends and family members and have had extended stays on my Grandfathers farm taking care of chickens, alpacas, and horses. I will be prepared for anything your cat or dog may throw my way! I am currently home from college for the summer. I have almost complete open availability and am willing to work some overnight hours (minus a few weekend nights here and there). I understand that taking care of dogs is a full time job that requires a lot of structure and timing. I have a firm knowledge on feeding schedules and the needs of animals as well as a desire to keep them both physically and mentally happy. I am physically fit myself and am willing to exercise dogs that may need the additional physical activity.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from Mini Alaskan Eskimos to German Shepherds. I grew up around Golden Retrievers. I also have a lot of experience with cats. My other role is as a delivery driver, which allows me to have a flexible availability to care for your animals. I do what it takes to be fully committed to my agreements and responsibilities. I am adaptable and happy to follow the routine your pet is used to. I am a quick learner who aims to keep your pet(s) as happy and comfortable as possible. I have dog walking experience and can do drop ins or overnights.

“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: As a former vet assistant turned professional dog walker, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge and hands-on experience to every walk. My background sets me apart in several ways: 1. Dog behavior expertise: Having taken dog training classes and reading many books, I understand canine body language and can reinforce positive behaviors during walks. 2. Age-specific care: Whether it's an energetic puppy or a senior dog needing a gentle stroll, I tailor each walk to your dog's specific needs and energy level. 3. Health-conscious approach: My vet assistant experience means I'm alert to any health concerns that might arise during walks. 4. Diverse pet knowledge: While I specialize in dogs, my experience with cats and guinea pigs means I'm comfortable with a variety of pets if you ever need additional services. Animals are at the core of my being - my love for them shapes who I am. This deep-rooted passion ensures that every pet I encounter receives attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care. Your furry friend will return home happy, exercised, and eager for their next adventure with me. Pet care is a core part of my weekly routine. I'm consistently available for dog walking: - Wednesdays and Thursdays: 10 AM to 2 PM - Occasional Mondays and Friday's These set hours allow me to provide reliable, focused care for your pets. I'm committed to maintaining a consistent schedule, which is especially beneficial for dogs needing regular exercise. While these are my primary hours, I'm open to discussing adjustments for long-term clients or special needs. I believe in keeping pets active, engaged, and happy during their time with me. For dogs, I love to: Explore local neighborhoods, parks, and nearby hiking trails, tailoring the walk length and intensity to each dog's energy level and physical condition. I'm equipped to provide safe and comfortable pet care in both my home and clients' homes. In my home, I offer: - A secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time - Kennels for rest and safety when needed - Leashes for controlled walks - Baby gates to manage space and ensure pet safety When visiting clients' homes, I adhere to their established routines and use their preferred equipment. In both settings, I prioritize: - Regular exercise through walks or playtime - Maintaining feeding and medication schedules - Providing plenty of attention and companionship - Ensuring a clean, safe environment My background as a former vet assistant allows me to recognize and address any health concerns promptly.

About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.

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: 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.

I have a Big yard and up to two professional dog caretakers at a time 😊 Let’s talk!… 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!

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: 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.😊

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.

“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”
