Meet the owners
Hello! I’m Alixandria (Alix ) the owner of DogStar Walkers and this is my beautiful little family! My husband (Skyler) and I are originally from Colorado and re located to Portland in 2019 . Upon arriving we instantly fell in love with Oregon’s beauty, food, people, and of course the dog friendliness of the city! We are so glad to call the pacific north west our home! I am a trained and certified Veterinary Technician/ Assistant and have worked in the animal care field for 5+ years now. So, my love for animals and the outdoors made it any easy choice to transition out of a hospital setting and start caring for your pets- I love the fresh air and pet hair! We are seriously so fulfilled by what we do and couldn’t imagine it any other way!
ABOUT OUR TEAM
Our team is what makes Dog Star so incredible! All of our walkers/ pet sitters are professionals with experience in the animal care field and have worked with us for years. They have all undergone an in-depth on- boarding process before becoming apart of the pack including interviews, background checks, and introductions to the dogs. We believe in creating a safe, respectful, and fulfilling relationship between all our pack members. Our team has a real passion for all animals and provides the care that they would want for their own fur babies! Dog Star matches clients to our tight nit team so that your walker is the same day in, day out. We know all our pups favorite scratching spots, favorite sniffs in the neighborhood, and their routine because Dog Star doesn’t switch walkers out daily - if your walker needs time off we make sure that their walks are covered by another walker they already know and are comfortable with- often the owners of the company!
We would like to take a moment to remember all our past furry family who made such a big impact on our lives. It is one of the greatest honors that we get to have these short years with them- never forgotten. We’ll see you again, over the rainbow bridge.
