About: Hi I’m Payten! Ive been a dog owner since the day I was born, so I understand the dedication and commitment it takes to look after your beautiful pets and I’d love to help out! I’ve been a humane society volunteer and I started dog sitting unofficially in middle school for friends, family, and neighbors and I’ve decided to expand my services simply because I love and enjoy the company of dogs. I currently have two sweet puppers of my own and have had experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities over my life, so I can adapt to your pets needs. I promise to provide great service for you and your pet, just as I do my own two hooligans who practically run my household. I am an online college student and substitute teach on weekdays, which isn’t always guaranteed, so I can be flexible. I am fully available during the weekends! I will follow your care instructions perfectly as provided. I have had pets of my own for years, so I’m not stranger to different care needs.

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.

“Isabella was great! Our dogs are special needs and she took the time to practice and prepare before her actual booking. She's an animal lover through and through. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’m a current foster home for the Troutdale shelter. I’ve taken legal cases and regular foster cases until they are adopted. I love all animals and just want to help those in need. I currently work from home so I’m able to care for your pet all day. I’m able to play, love on them and walk them. I don’t have a fenced yard but I’m able to walk your furry friend or crate them. However you want them to be taken care of.

About: I got my first dog sitting job when I was 5, it was my neighbors dog and I've loved doing it since. I have since home sat, many dogs of all different breeds, ages, and size. I have a 3 year old English mastiff, and grew up with two big dogs as a kid. I'm good with training and working with puppies and older dogs who need medicine and extra care. I am a stay at home mom and nanny to my sister, I also am a home health aid for my elderly grandpa. So I have plenty of time to love your fur babies and give them all of my attention! I am available for boarding 24/7. I have a very large yard with a tall fence, I have a 3 year old English mastiff and a 7 year old daughter to keep your fur baby plenty occupied! I can crate your dog if you would like, but i do not crate unless told by the owner they can crate or have to be crated. We free feed our animals, but we can schedule feed if that is what you do! None of the dogs eat together to reduce the risk of an incident. I am very open to making accommodations and changes to make your fur baby feel safe and happy. I am one of the few sitters that take reactive dogs, I have the space to accommodate them and still have them get the love and attention they need! I am a stay at home mom to a 7 year old, so I am home all the time to take care of your babies. We play out side, and we snuggle. I treat your babies like they are my own. I have two very hyper, loving dogs who love to play in their giant yard! I can crate your baby if you prefer, but they all get to roam the house, and sleep in beds with humans!

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.

“Michelle did a great job with her first drop-in visit for our two cats! Communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We could tell she was attentive and caring, and our cats seemed comfortable with her. Would definitely book her again!”

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.

“As always Elizabeth is wonderful with my dogs and is available for last minute requests in addition to her daily dog walks. I would recommend her without hesitation. She treats my pups like her own.”
