Dog Walking Cal Young

“Erin was wonderful with my boys —I booked her last minute and she showed up happy, helpful, and ready to work. The dogs loved her, and I’ll definitely book again!”

About: I have a dog of my own, a Yorkie, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Having my own dog has given me personal experience with the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet and making sure their needs are met. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I would love to get to know your pet and provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and help make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! As a student at the University of Oregon, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate visits, walks, and feeding times around my classes and other commitments. I am dependable and organized, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s usual routine. I will communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, care, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring every step of the way.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for animals in a variety of settings. In addition to pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family members, I have volunteered over 50 hours at the Arizona Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, reliability, and individualized care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a rather flexible schedule! I am a student at the University of Oregon so I do attend in-person classes about once a day, however I am always flexible to make things work with you! Whether your pet needs a midday walk, early morning care, evening check-ins, or overnight companionship, I can accommodate a variety of schedules. I understand that every pet and owner has different needs, and I am committed to providing reliable care whenever it is needed. When staying in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect and care for the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.

“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

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.

About: After growing up with family dogs and cats for many years, I moved from Japan to the United States six years ago and adopted pets of my own. My husband and I are currently active fosters for Greenhill Humane Society and CRAN. We also have a house cat of our own who is six years old who serves as the resident “foster uncle”. I promise to care for your pets with the kind of service and professionalism you expect for your pet family! I am available most days of the week from mornings until early afternoon. I am also available on weekends or if you go on vacation and need someone to walk and watch your pets. As pet foster parents, we are tasked with providing safety and comfort for pets who have short term stays with us. I can provide that same care and safety for your animals and will give you as many updates and in-progress photos as you’d like during our walks and check ins!

“We highly recommend Alix!”

About: Having pets is more then having a little creature live in your home, it’s having a family member and loved one. Growing up, pets were always considered family and deserving of the upmost love, attention and care. I carry that with me when taking care of others babies! My number one priority will always be your pets safety and happiness! I love to find new games and new smells with the pets in my care, because it’s so important for their brains to be stimulated. My cat, Mr. Stinks and I love to play hide and seek! P.S I love to capture your pets sweet and silly moments, so you will receive some great photos! I am currently a student working part-time and my schedule can be pretty flexible! I am available most nights, afternoons and early mornings to check your pets, take them on walks or even just provide some extra cuddles. My availability for house sitting varies weekly because of my work schedule, however I can be pretty flexible! If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! My biggest concern will always be your pets safety and happiness. Whether that means double checking to make sure the leash is secure, cleaning up to ensure they have a clean environment or just loving them the way you would until you are back.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have worked as a nutritionist at a holistic pet store for close to 4 years. I love animals and I love interacting with them! I currently work a part time job that only gives me 20-25 hours a week. Other than that I am completely available, as long as it fits into my current schedule. I cannot take animals into my own apartment, but I am more than happy to care for animals in their own home. I am well experienced in keeping a close eye on animals and love communicating with owners about their pets wellbeing.

“Jacqueline has been patient and wonderful with our anxious dog, who always takes time to get used to strangers unless we are dropping him off at a doggie daycare. Greatly appreciate her calm energy with our boy and look forward to continuing to work with her.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.

“Alondra is amazing! One day our dog got out while we were at work, she was so level headed and helped us tremendously in getting him home. We really appreciate Alondra. She’s been wonderful.”

“We are sooooooooo happy we found Sarah! She loves our London like she’s her own. I totally trust her and appreciate all her help. Plus, Sarah takes extremely nice photos of my animals.”

About: I have always loved animals! I have taken care of many animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types!! Anything you need I can do and will do happily! I am completely available during the entire week I would just have to work around my classes which I have very large breaks in between each for! Whenever I am petsitting I always leave the house cleaner than I found it, and make sure the pets are fed and have clean water and have been taken out and used the bathroom
