Dog Walking College Hill

About: I have had pets my whole life- I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas! I understand that all pets have different needs. I can be there for you when you can't, and will make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I love dogs and other pets too! I currently have 2 cats and want to make all cats my friend (even though they have their own thoughts on this!). I had a Frenchie for 10 amazing years, and grew up with Labs. I have a flexible schedule and am available most times. I can be available for pet routines or drop in visit, morning, mid day or afternoon/evening. I can come to you- in home visits, or dog walking. I am central to Eugene and have a reliable car for visits. I can visit mornings or afternoons.

“Cole is awesome with our dog—whether in our neighborhood or out on the trails. He understands dogs really well, is responsible and prompt, and sends good updates. Would highly recommend him for walking and taking great care of your dog.”

“Erin is wonderful, she goes above and beyond and I know my boys are in great hands whenever she walks them. I’m so thankful I found someone I can trust my dogs with that takes such good care of them!”

“Hayden was amazing with our dogs. One is a very big and crazy 1 yr old that can sometimes be a lot to handle and she did it with ease. We will definitely be using Hayden again!”

“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”

Noelle C.

“Maddie is great! My dog needs a little extra and she is very patient and kind with her. Annabelle is always excited to see her and she gets a great walk everyday. With my busy schedule it's been a lifesaver!”

Alex C.

“Fantastic job, always showed up on time, followed familiar routes, made our dog feel at ease and happy. Would definitely hire Emily again.”

About: For ten years, my friends or family have trusted me to take care of their furry (or scaly) friends when they're away. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including elderly, disabled, shy, high energy, and/or rescue dogs and cats. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! This term (Spring 2026), the longest stretch I would have to be away is four hours (on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I am highly flexible with addressing your pet's unique social and exercise needs. I am open to taking them to a dog park, taking them on a hike, or whatever activity they enjoy. No worries if your pup is sensitive to other dogs/ children/ cats- I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with three dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also watched and cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. What sets me apart is how genuinely much I love animals and how seriously I take caring for them. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether that means sticking to their normal routine, giving them extra attention, or just being patient and calm with them, I want them to feel as at home as possible. As a graduate student, I’m responsible, dependable, and organized, and I bring that same mindset into pet care. I understand that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone, and I want owners to feel fully confident that their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs. I’m available all weekdays and weekends! I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I know every animal is different, so I try to make the experience as stress free as possible by keeping things consistent and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the owner’s home, and I always aim to keep things tidy and follow directions closely. My goal is to make pets feel safe and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their animal is in good hands.

“Sara has been great with our dog Rio. We asked if she might be able to run him, and she came to the meet and greet ready to run. Sara communicates well, asks questions, and goes the extra mile (almost literally). Thanks Sara. We appreciate you, and Rio appreciates you.”

About: Your pet will be SO loved. Im very in tune with meeting animals where they are at energetically and socially and have so much fun getting to know their unique personalities. I work mostly from home Monday thru Friday. I usually need to go in person an average of about 3 to 4 hours daily between the hours of 12pm-5pm but can still pop in for additional checks and care during that time. I love going for walks, hikes, and the dog park and your bestie can ride in my car. And besides that my nights and weekend are completely free! I have a cozy 1 bedroom apartment and no pets. My space works best for small to medium dogs, but I can (and would LOVE) to host larger dogs if they’re more compact in size (like bulldogs). I am home a lot with remote work or can work from your home! There are 2 dog parks near me- one is 5 minute and the other is 3 minute drive or about a 10 minute walk uphill. I would definitely be available in person to give your pets company and love for most of the day and all night.

About: I am lucky enough to have lived every single day of my life with pets of some variety–dogs, cats, hamsters, and betta fish, primarily. Some were family pets, but most have been my own. I was seven years old when my parents allowed me my first pet of my very own (Fluffernutter, a brown-and-white banded Syrian hamster), and I still remember spending months poring over library books and researching everything I could about hamster care before bringing her home. Currently, I have one cat (Sushi, light of my life), but she’s only an only child because I don’t yet have the financial means to be the maniacal menagerist of my dreams. Meeting and loving and taking care of animals has always been the brightest part of my life; I genuinely cannot imagine a life without them, and I hope I never have to. Although this is my first time formally offering pet-sitting services, I’ve been caring for others’ pets for years, starting around age twelve. I’ve pet-sat for friends and neighbors, taking care of their dogs, cats, horses, and fish. My responsibilities have included everything from feeding and administering medication (when needed) to walks, cleanup, and making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. While most of my experience is with dogs, cats, horses, and fish, I love animals of all kinds and would be happy to care for most any critter. I spent approximately a year as a Pet Care Specialist at PetSmart, where my primary responsibilities included caring for the store’s fish and reptiles. It was a job I absolutely loved, and I still miss all of the little critters I looked after. I’ve also had a few hamsters over the years, and a close friend of mine had mice, rats, and snakes, all of which I spent a fair amount of time interacting with. Even when I don’t have experience with a specific animal, I always take the time to research their needs and follow all care instructions closely to ensure they’re well looked-after. When it comes to reptiles, I’m comfortable with general care, though I’m not able to provide feeder animals larger than insects. When it comes to dogs specifically, I have the most experience with medium and large pups and am comfortable caring for dogs of most sizes. However, I am not able to sit for any giant breeds. While I love them dearly (and have spent a great deal of time around Newfoundlands in particular), I want to ensure I can safely and confidently handle any situation that may arise. One of my favorite parts of pet-sitting is getting to know each animal as an individual. Every pet has their own personality, preferences, and quirks, and I make it a priority to learn those so I can care for them beyond just the basics. Whether it’s discovering their favorite toy, their ideal walking pace, their go-to nap spot, or how they like to be social (full cuddle mode or quiet companionship), I want your pet to feel understood and comfortable. I also have experience caring for shy and anxious pets. I understand that building trust can take time, patience, and consistency, and I’m more than happy to meet animals at their pace. Even confident pets can feel unsettled when their person is away, so creating a calm, safe, and reassuring environment is always a top priority for me. Above all, I treat every pet in my care the way I treat my own—with attentiveness, respect, and a lot of love. My goal is not just to meet your pet’s physical needs, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important that peace of mind is, and I’d love to provide that for you. A quick snapshot of my care style: • Experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, fish, and small pets • Patient and gentle with shy or anxious pets • Take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and preferences • Attentive, detail-oriented, and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions • Always willing to learn and provide thoughtful care for new types of pets • Not able to sit for giant dog breeds • For reptiles, comfortable with general care but unable to provide feeder animals larger than insects Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week, with the exception of Wednesdays before 10:30am, and I’m always happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and routine. Whether I’m house-sitting or just stopping by to check on your fur babies, my primary focus is keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible to help reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and ensure their environment remains clean and safe. I’m always conscious and respectful of your home, treating it with the same care and consideration I would my own, and ensuring it’s securely locked when I come and go.

“Sarah is willing to have patience and work with my dog despite him being protective of our home. I feel at ease each week knowing he is getting a walked and paid attention to during the day. She was also willing to meet up beforehand and go over all of his specific needs. I would recommend. Thank you sarah ! :)”

“Karina has done an amazing job with my dogs. She was very efficient in all of her work. She is a great communicator, making sure that she can gather all the information needed to care for Ivy and Charles. She also communicated with me and even sent photos of each time she came over to walk the dogs. She spent much time with each pet, making sure that they had all of their needs met and also giving each one love and attention. I highly recommend her to care for and walk other pets. I will definitely be booking more walks in the near future. Thank you Karina ?. - Jessica, Ivy & Charles”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, and even a chinchilla throughout my life, so I’ve truly never known life without being surrounded by animals. I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for them has always come naturally to me, whether they’re my own or belong to family and friends. I have roughly 10+ years of non-professional experience and 3 years of professional experience caring for pets, including pet sitting and working with animals of different personalities and needs. A lot of the photos on my profile are actually with pets I’ve cared for, pet sat, or even strays I’ve come across and helped. I also love the outdoors and hiking, so if your pet enjoys being active or going on little adventures, I’m more than happy to bring them along in a safe and fun way. At the same time, my current pets are total couch potatoes who love to relax and lounge around, so I’m just as comfortable matching that calm, low energy vibe. Whether your pet is playful or prefers to take it easy, I’m attentive and focused on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I currently live with my roommate’s 2 year old cat, so I’m used to daily care and attention. I also will be helping care for a new dog starting later this year, which I’m really excited about. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, whether that’s daily visits, walks, or spending extended time with your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment and keep a clean, calm, and pet safe space. That being said, I’ll be moving into a townhome with more space at the end of August. No matter the space, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a secure and loving environment for every pet I care for.

About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 (21 now) however not all the families had pets but, it always made my night when I also got the opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I started focusing on animal care / house sitting more as I got older. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and have a heck of a lot of free time on my schedule! I can make most any times of the day work. Unfortunately I cannot offer care in my home however I am happy to drive to your home most any time of day when help may be needed!

“Omg! Ashlee was amazing. Very flexible and very responsible! Great communication. Moose & Rosie absolutely LOVED HER! I can’t wait to use Ashlee’s services again!”

“Congxiao (Jennifer) and her daughter (Samantha) took care of our two small dogs over a long weekend and did an amazing job! I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them for both care and dog walking.”

About: I have cared for a variety of dogs for over 6 years. From puppy to elder, tiny to huge, and sleepy to bouncing off of the walls- I love hanging with all! I have experience in multi animal households, walking (exercise in general), feeding regiments, injuries such as ear infections, etc. It is important to me to maintain normalcy as much as possible while owners are away, and make sure they feel so loved! I am a recently graduated student who is in Eugene for the summer. I work part-time doing research virtually so I have a lot of time on my hands 🙂 I truly cannot think of anything better to do than meet all of the animal neighbors around me. I value clear instructions and will always focus on meeting those expectations. Happy to reinforce rules, training, etc. in all ways! Routine is so important for our pets and I always uplift whatever the norms are.
