Hi, my name is Ozzy and I would like to share with you a little about myself as well as some background information regarding how Bark PDX came to be. I was born into a family of compassionate dog breeders and have had the fortune of having pets my entire life. Like my parents, I always believed that I too would work with animals someday, but wasn't sure exactly in what capacity that belief would manifest itself.
After graduating from the University of Oregon, I worked for a number of years as a Client Services Director for a large recruitment agency providing marketing recruitment services for many Fortune 500 companies (not exactly what I had in mind to do with my life). Throughout these many years I was perpetually in search of a caretaker for both “Daisy” and “Buddy”, my two German Shorthaired Pointers.
I had a number of difficulties finding good dog walkers and pet sitters that were affordable, accountable and available. While boarding them was an option, I couldn’t shake the suspicion that they were much happier in the comfort of their own home and accustomed environment.
After some careful scrutiny, I came to a realization that a dog walking and pet care resource that addressed both a dog’s specific needs as well as its owner’s wasn't only a good idea, it was a necessity. Taking all of this in consideration, I started a dog walking and pet care company that treats your pets as if they were our own. We employ a comprehensive interview process that allows us to get to know you and your pets as well as any special needs they may have and it is our sincere pleasure to have the opportunity to do so.
We know that trust goes a long way and hope you feel assured that Bark PDX is committed to providing the best possible care for you pets. We are veterinarian recommended, licensed and fully insured to ensure your peace of mind and added safety.
Hello, I'm Bootie and yes, that’s my real name. I’d like to tell you a little about myself, and how I came to be a part of Bark PDX.
I’m a local girl from Lake Oswego and a graduate of the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!). I too was fortunate to be born into a family of caring pet lovers which subsequently contributed to my own love, respect and admiration for all animals. Personally, all of my pets have been “rescues”; currently I have 2 hairy kids in my life: “Remington” (6 year old German Shorthaired Pointer) and “Winchester” or “Junior” as we now call him (1 ½ year old Weimaraner). Both boys started out as foster dogs but the moment they wiggled their way into our home they instantly became part of the family. I always believed I would someday work with animals and I’m thrilled to have that dream realized. Time constraint from my former profession in Surgical Sales caused me to put Remington into Doggy Day Care, something I was largely uncomfortable with.
I knew I needed a change and I knew that change was pet care. I have fantastic experience assisting different organizations like the Oregon Weimaraner Rescue in a number of capacities including acting as a foster home. Working with a company that embodies all the key elements anyone could ask for in pet care is exactly what I’ve found in Bark PDX and I’m really happy to be a part of the team.
