PAWSITIVE STEPS PDX - Key Persons

Hello! My name is Ali, and I am a dog walker/ pet sitter for Pawsitive Steps PDX. I began my life surrounded by rescues and show dogs and continue to help all animals in need through rescue, education and any way I am able. I have had the pleasure of working as a pet nurse in a veterinary clinic and look forward to the day I am able to have my own animal sanctuary/ pet retirement home for those pets in need of a loving home including seniors as they are less likely to be adopted. I have the pleasure of being human to two rescue cats, Sol and Dexter who have stolen my heart and a majority of my bed. Due to rent restriction I am unable to have dogs, so I plan on spoiling your pets with affection and attention!

Job Titles:

• Owner / Chief Pet Snuggler

I'm Kara, Jesse's wife, as well as a dog walker / pet sitter for Pawsitive Steps PDX! I have been helping Jesse grow the business since we met in 2013, and have been officially taking care of pets and walking dogs with Pawsitive Steps PDX since 2015. I am both a crazy cat lady and a house cat myself! When I am not in class at Portland State, you can find me snuggling with Sir Furrdinand Purrington, my squishy and most handsome kitty-prince, or watching "puppies with babies" videos on YouTube. Because the desire to exercise somehow skipped my genome entirely, I really enjoy walking dogs because it gets me outside, away from my books, and moving my creaky bones! I am excited and honored to be apart of the Pawsitive Steps PDX team. Jesse is passionate about the well being of animals, and I enjoy seeing them do what they love best!

Hi! My name is Parker, and I am a dog walker / pet sitter for Pawsitive Steps PDX! I've been been lucky enough to work with animals for over a decade now, including volunteer opportunities with; the Oregon Humane Society, Fences For Fido, and as a Animal Rescue Volunteer for the Humane Society of the United States of America. My pet companion is a rescued three legged American Staffordshire Terrier named Tippy Tri-Pawd. The connection I've made with Tippy over the years has only strengthened my ability and desire to make my love become my work. And along with Pawsitive Steps, this once a dream of mine has become a reality. I look forward to meeting your companion pet.
