Cat Sitting Coburg

“We were so grateful to have Teresa checking in on our cats! She spent ample time with them and provided quick responses and communication. We feel lucky to have found her!”

About: I grew up in an animal-loving environment, and I have been a cat-mom since 2016. I love to spoil my babies and I want to spoil yours too! I recognize that our pets are important members of our families, and it fills my heart to make sure that they have all the love and care that they need. I love playing with pets and discovering their individual personalities. I worked in vet-med for a short time, and I have lots of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, including kittens and puppies, as well as senior pets. I'm particularly skilled in befriending anxious cats and dogs. I have experience in giving oral medication, administering eye/ear drops, and trimming nails. I'm currently available 7 days a week and my schedule is very flexible. I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I enjoy walking daily, and I really enjoy playing with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My husband and I have two black cats at home, and we treasure them dearly. They get a lot of attention, play time, treats, and snuggles. You can expect lots of clear communication and pictures from me. It's important to me that you don't feel worried about your pet while they're with me. I'd be delighted spend time with your pet in your home, feeding them per your directions, giving any necessary medications, playing with them, and taking them out for walks/exercise. I can drive your dog to a park or dog park, if desired. I will happily give your pet snuggles and scritches if they want them, but I also respect every animal's personal boundaries. I pay close attention to behaviors and body language that tell me if they feel safe and what kind of attention they want.

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.

“Julia was lovely with our very elderly cat; she was there twice a day to handle food, water, meds, litter, and affection, and all of this seemed to be handled as well as we could have hoped. I hope she'll want to return in future!”

“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for family pets and dogs for friends and neighbors. I pay close attention to behavior changes and always make sure pets get lots of patience, affection, and care. I’m looking for a part-time job as well, so I’ll have plenty of time to check in on pets and stay the night if needed! I have lots of love to give, and I always build trust with the pet(s) first. I have no problem finding pet supplies at my client’s home if needed and can manage cleanliness and care of the home and furniture.

About: I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.

“Rachel did a fabulous job of caring for our shy, skittish cat Isa. After initially hiding, Isa responded to Rachel's skills of attraction by playing with the wand and allowing Rachel to pet her. Rachel sent pictures daily, showing Isa playing and rolling over ecstatically to be petted (a real sign of trust). I highly recommend Rachel for any pet care position. She is communicative, caring, and obviously loves her charges.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, fish, chickens and goats. I have experience caring for both young and senior dogs. I prioritize play and walks for young, active dogs. I have also administered medication to senior pets. I am a cleanly person and will clean up pet waste during the duration of my sit. I am currently employed part time. If you are ok with your pet being left alone for 5-6 hours for 3-4 days of the week please contact me! Right now, I don't work weekends so your pet would not be left alone for as long on Saturdays and Sundays. Beyond working, I do prioritize ensuring dogs are given regular bathroom breaks. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.

About: I have always had dogs in my family and grew up with a border collie and a pug mix, who I would walk and help care for. I also have experience house sitting and watching neighbors dogs while they were out of town. I currently am an artist who works from home which gives me a ton of flexibility! I can care for, play with or walk pets throughout the afternoons and evenings most days. I am a patient and gentle person who can make sure your pets feel comfortable around me. I have a lot of experience working with pets with shy personalities.

“The cats enjoyed ciarra's visits.”

About: I have three beautiful cats at home that are super energetic and snuggly! My family had cats while I was in high school and I love being around all animals! Just moved to Eugene from Tennessee and currently have open availability! I’m an early riser so if you need a dog walked in the morning, I’ve got you! I have a car and am willing to walk or bus as well! Our house is plentiful of cat trees, window perches and tunnels! We give them fresh food and water every day and they all get individualized attention! I will do the exact same for your pets!

“Megan is amazing, communicative, and clearly loves all animals so much. My two cats loved having her there and she was so lovely!”

About: I've owned, loved, and been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, and miscellaneous farm animals. Growing up in the country and having animal based chores from a young age helped me develop a love for animals, tolerance and patience, and the capability to care for a variety of animals in a variety of settings and environments. Closely raised alongside a veterinarian uncle taught me the value and importance of animals in our lives (and occasionally even provide assistance to a him in action). I'm also quite flexible with many things. While in my care, I can walk/exercise (or be absolutely lazy with your animal). Depending on what you request, as long as it's within reason, I am open to catering to your wishes and will do what you ask of me to keep you and your pet happy! :) ie. although I marked "allowed on beds/furniture", I understand this is not for everyone. I personally love having animals near me but also understand the importance of not allowing in my home, what is not allowed in your home. Also, I have access to my family's property out in the country where I can take your dog on hikes away from the public, run freely in large fields that are fenced in at the property line, and explore the great outdoors with them for an even more special experience while you're away! Experience (in general): listed 28 years as I've closely helped family members since ~at least~ 8 yrs of age. My sitting history mostly includes requests to house/dog sit for friends and family members over the years (both in their home or in mine). The "official" dog sitting experience is less, as this is my first time creating a professional sitting profile and I am excited to start work with people outside of my circle! :) I only marked the days I am off work completely as my available dates. These are the days in which I can provide the best/full attention care. I can provide care on work days, as long as you are okay with me working around my work schedule (ie. early mornings/evenings or nights). Otherwise... Consistently, I'm off every Fri, Sat, and Sunday. Weekdays: never hurts to check! I have many weekdays off, but they vary and depend on my office's hours. I know my days off in advance and can plan accordingly. My office closes for 7-19 days at a time 4x/year (Feb, May/June, Sept, Dec). Plus, any major holidays, we are closed and I may be available. I will take necessary precautions to keep your animal safe and cared for. I have a yard with no fence and would keep them on a leash while taking them out or on walks. If while in the country on family property, as long as we both feel comfortable with it and your dog's behavior, leash wearing is whatever you prefer. I will of course put them back on if I feel the need to. Although I'm easy going, I'm also a reliable and responsible person with common sense and enough experience with my own animals to properly care for your pet. I will always do what's needed in any situation to protect your pet and keep them safe. After knowing an animal longer and understanding their behavior/tendencies, sure, I can ease up some - but will always take more precautions at first while I am still getting to know them. And again, in any case, it's whatever you are comfortable with and would like. Details can be discussed and figured out along the way. For example, if your animal gets uncomfortable in unknown places - I am more than happy to come to you and care for them in your home! If they need this medicine at this time, you've got it! If they do better when you take them for a 45 min walk and then snuggle them for an hour, sure! If you need them to eat these specific things, at these specific times, and anything else you may need - just chat it out. I'm sure we can work the details out - and if not, I'll just say no and ask that you find another sitter who may suit you and your needs better. We'll figure it out.

“Super clean and took good care of the kitties!”

“Grace was AMAZING! Our cat loved having her visits and play time. If you are thinking about booking her, you won’t regret it! She was so punctual and kept the little boxes so clean and tidy. We will absolutely be booking again! One of the best sitters our little guy has ever had ☺️”

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals and have been providing pet care for many years. I have administered medication orally and have some experience with injections for cats. I work with dogs, cats, etc. of all energy levels, though I specialize in senior care and will accommodate my pace to any pet personality! I’m currently in college so I mainly have availability in the evenings but can do earlier depending on the day, and weekends all day. I follow the instructions given to me exactly as requested and I send updates of your pet through message and photos. I pay close attention to the pet’s needs and provide lots of love and comfort for them. If I am uncertain about anything, I ask for clarification to make sure I am properly caring for them.

About: Former dog owner (Luna & Scout) — long daily walks, parks, overnight boarding, feeding routines. Reliable, responsive, I'll treat your dog like my own in Springfield. Flexible and reliable, I always make pet care a priority in my routine. Whether it's daily walks, check-ins, or playtime, your pet’s needs come first. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a pet-friendly environment. I follow routines, use positive reinforcement, and ensure pets feel secure and loved at all times.

About: Whether you’re local or traveling from out of state, your fur babies will have a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! As a former Greenhill Humane Society employee, I have over a year of hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m also well-versed in medication administration and handling, as well as vaccine and injectable administration. I’m confident in providing attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care for your pups, whether in my home or yours. I live in a quiet West Eugene neighborhood with access to a large, fully fenced private backyard where your dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We’re also conveniently located near several parks, which I’d love to enjoy with your companions when appropriate and with your permission. I understand that every animal is different, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Whether your pup needs extra playtime, a little patience, a quieter environment, or lots of affection, I’ll do my best to make their stay feel just like home. Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way! I’m currently working from home, full time with a very flexible schedule. Attention and time with your pets wont be an issue. I can essentially provide around the clock care. I have a fully fenced ¾-acre backyard where your pets can safely run, play, and explore whenever they’d like. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs by keeping a close eye on them, following your care instructions, and maintaining their usual routines. Whether they prefer outdoor adventures, playtime, or relaxing inside, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
