Pet Sitting Bethel

“Amy was very thorough and reliable, and I felt like our cat was in good hands while I was away for the day! The 'meet and greet' a few days before was very nice as well. Thank you Amy!”

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I only accept dogs that stand 17 inches or less at the shoulder and weigh 30lbs or less. I do occasionally make exceptions to this rule for senior dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with small dogs, calm, low energy and slow moving. I also have a maximum of 5 dogs staying with me at a time (which is a group of 8 if you include my own 3 dogs) and this keeps the overall energy more calm and less chaotic. I don’t accept Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pitbull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Huskys, German Shepherds and Chow Chows or their mixes due to these breeds not being a good fit for my small dog environment (a small percentage of 15% or less is okay if it came up in your dog’s mixed breed DNA test though). Please keep in mind I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament and your dog needs to be friendly and well accepted by my pack during a daycare trial or meet and greet in order to be approved for boarding. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. I have a house with a dog door and securely fenced yard. Your dog will have frequent potty breaks and full access to the house and yard. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available, in a soft sided crate on our bed (or on the floor next to the bed), or in an exercise pen. If your dog is small enough, comfortable and tolerant of other dogs around them, and sleeps peacefully then they will be allowed to sleep in the bed with us, but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crate trained, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed any other way. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I use tall pet gates to ensure all entrances are secure when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escapes. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences an illness or injury during their stay I will contact your dog’s usual veterinarian. In case of an emergency after hours I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has an stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

“Rosa is a wonderful and caring person. She is very intuitive and instantly gained trust from my cats. She successfully delivered fluids to my kitty with kidney disease and provided me with updates. I would definitely rebook with Rosa.”

“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”

About: Twenty plus years of fun taking care of cats, dogs of different breeds, temperaments, ages, and sizes, and even some chickens, a rabbit, hamster, rat, and fish. Completed Rover's safety dog video. Grew up with dogs. My energy level is low-key and calm. Regular text updates and photos sent. Experience in playing tug of war, throwing the ball, and taking Fido for walks. FYI- Listed cost for overnight dog care (pet sitters get a little less that what you see listed). My availability is wide open except for Sunday morning commitments, taking some time at my place each day, and looking for a regular job with benefits. I care for your pets in your home, giving them attention and love. I give them the time to get used to me & make sure they are content. Making sure they are safe and having fun is important to me.

“On time! Very nice! Great communication! Adjusted for my dogs needs! Absolutely amazing!”

About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.

About: Hi, I'm Desiree! I live in the hills in Southwest Eugene with my family & fur babies: four dogs, a cat, and a bunny. So animals are my everyday life. I know that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I treat every pet like one of my own: lots of cuddles & attention, consistent routines, and clear updates, so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I have such a passion for doing this because when I’ve had to leave my fur babies it was really hard. I’m hoping to put you at ease knowing your fur baby is receiving love and attention while you are gone 💙💜 I currently work full time but my position is one that I get to work from home. So I am available anytime to watch the animal or walk them. My dogs and bunny would stay upstairs and there is a whole living area on the second floor. There is a gate on the stairs separating the living areas (due to my dog having bad hips). Your pet gets a fenced yard / daily walks and outdoor time, regular meals on your schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention and play. I'm comfortable giving medications and following special diets or recovery instructions, and I'll send photo or video updates during every stay. Dogs sleep inside with us. We can do a meet-and-greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me.

About: I've had pets since I was born. Cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and age. I've spent the last 14 years with my soul dog. He was a Golden/Lab/St. Bernard with a lot of anxiety and a huge love of food. In his old age he had mobility problems, incontinence, was on several medications, and needed as much attention as I could give him. I am fully prepared to give any animal I meet the same level of love and care. I've been the main care provider for my dogs for the last 14 years and always put their needs before mine. Taking them potty is the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. Furry friends rely on us for care and I want to make sure they are doing great. When I care for pets in your home I will follow your instructions to a T. Make sure they get lots of love, cuddles (if they like them), and attention.

“Adria knows animals! We were so thankful for her not only helping us with some obedience problems (big puppies who don't know their size), but showing us how to maintain the miracles she worked while with our puppies. Will 100% book her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had my own dogs for over 12 years! I also have more than 10 years of experience working in veterinary care, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all kinds and personalities. I truly love caring for dogs and treat every one of them like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to help with walks, potty breaks, feedings, medications, or just spending time keeping your pup company. I always make sure they have plenty of water, attention, and (if allowed) a few tasty treats! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages — from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra care. And if you have cats, I’d love to visit and care for them too! Please feel free to message me to check my availability — I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I recently moved to Eugene, OR and am currently looking for full-time work, so I have open flexibility to fit your busy schedule! Check my availability for more details — I’d love to help care for your pets! 🐾 Your dog will be the only in my home. Your fur baby will be around 4 cats that have been around dogs. Must enjoy cats.

“…Amelia is seriously I don’t even have words. My Lu is a rescue, I’ve had her since February of this year and I’ve been working on training her anxiety and reactivity…Amelia was kind, patient and completely respectful of Lunas boundaries, knowledgeable of what to do and not to do with my baby who can be very anxious and needs to have calm consistently. She was the first rover person I’ve given a chance with Luna as I was worried about Lunas ability to be alone with someone and she did an amazing job with my Lu. Seriously…such a gem of a person”

“Maya did such a great job making sure my cat was cared for while I was away! She also made sure to update me with how she was doing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and I was in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with her to make sure your animals are well cared for :)”

“Dana was very attentive to detail and did everything my pup needed! Would recommend and would use her again!”

About: Hello I’m Griffin, I moved to Eugene last September to accept a job with a local nonprofit. I absolutely love dogs, to the point where my entire social media algorithm just presents me with puppy videos (all dogs are puppies to me.) I grew up with dogs, specifically Labradors, Cairn terriers and a Yorkie. When I was in Peace Corps in Ukraine, I had adopted a street dog and named him Dantinos. Sadly due to pandemic I was unable to bring my buddy back. There’s a big dog shaped hole in my heart. So, I decided to give this a try. My nonprofit job, while rewarding and interesting, isn’t cutting it for the cost of living today. I work full time but have remote work flexibility and live within a few minutes walking distance from my place of work- so whether it’s boarding or drop-ins, or walks, there’s a great opportunity to make it work. I would love to meet and pet and give your puppy some scratches if you’ll have me. I’ve got 35 years experience because I’ve grown with dogs all my life; and while I am not able to care for my own right now, taking a stroll with your puppy might be a win win win situation. I work full time, but have remote work flexibility and given a day or two in advance could likely block off some time to visit or walk a pet. Especially after lunch, when scheduled meetings are less frequent. When it comes to boarding- my work is literally a 5-8 min walk from my apartment- so even if I need to be in the office, coming back for potty breaks are not a problem. Fridays are generally half days, giving a little more flexibility I care for dogs by giving them love and affection when they want it. I’ve got a weakness for giving a dog treats with those pleading eyes, but I promise that I would never feed another persons dog anything not allowed, and certainly know to avoid over feeding. Eugene is a beautiful place and I think it would be a pleasure to take a stroll with your dog.

“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”

“Jennifer has been amazing for drop ins to walk the dog as well as house sitting for a week. I can tell how much she loves my pets and they love her!”

Aime O.

“Jacqueline is the best!! I have a notoriously difficult (shy and reactive) dog that she handled and cared for very well. She graciously navigated the maze of a gate set up we have for him. She sent timely updates with pictures and is very easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who loves their pets.”

About: I have experience cat sitting for both a young kitten and adult cats, so I understand that cats of different ages have different needs and personalities! Beyond feeding, I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I know some cats are more playful while others prefer their own space, so I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I love using pets as a way to relax and decompress after a long day while eing able to care for something else that has helped me so much throughout my life. I hope to include pet care throughout my day to give pets the best life that they deserve! I care for an animal based off the owners ad the pets needs, while also considering resources available to me. I am open to adapting and adjusting to whatever environment works the best for you and your pet.

About: I grew up with and love dogs and would frequently sit for family and friends. I currently have four kitties at home so I’m happy to look after any fur babies you have :) I’m currently in between jobs before moving states so I have full availability. I’m extremely flexible and am more than happy to make time for your animals. My kitties are still getting used to each other so at time things can get tense but making sure everyone has plenty of love and attention and play time is the main goal in the house. I’m happy to do whatever it is that makes your pet most comfortable while you’re gone.
