Dog Walking Cottage Grove

“Morgana goes above and beyond expectations. This visit was short notice due to a family emergency. She was able to accommodate and waited out some rain storms to make sure our dog got his walk in. Best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Thanks Morgana!”

About: Hi! I’m Abby 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a good walk and playtime to laid-back dogs and cats who just want some company and cuddles. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to send plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, some playtime, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need care! 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine! I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, stopping by for a visit, playing with a kitty, or giving a pet some extra attention and cuddles. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m dependable and flexible, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other instructions you provide. I know pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I give them plenty of attention and companionship while allowing them to stay in the space they know and love. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for! 🐾❤️

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.

About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my entire life. We offer a loving home near walking paths and parks. Also have neighbors with very friendly dogs if you allow play time I recently retired, and have an open schedule. My wife is allergic to cats and dogs, so any overnight stays, we recommend your dog is non-allergic and non-shedding If non overnight stays, and walks, a shedding dog is welcome. Our previous dog was a golden doodle, which we were fortunate to spend 12 glorious years Looking forward to spending time with your pet. We have a nice big fenced in yard for run around playtime’s, We know your pet is an extension of your family, and we will treat with utmost respect and care, fenced in yard offers a lot of exercise if your dog needs it. There is walking trails and 2 doggie parks if that is something your dog likes to do.

About: A Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I love animals of all sizes and personalities—from big dogs to tiny pups, and from energetic adventurers to professional couch potatoes! I have years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs, along with training experience through courses such as Puppy Training 101 and training for fearful/reactive dogs. I’m also an experienced foster provider for two local animal rescues. Fostering requires additional vetting, training, and an in-home visit, and I’m proud to help rescue dogs on their journey to finding their forever homes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m happy to care for cats, too. For boarding, I’m unable to accept dogs who are aggressive toward people or other animals so that I can keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also telework multiple days per week, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup wants walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their stay to what they enjoy most! 🐶💕 On weekends, I’m home most of the time. I also work from home multiple days per week, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I may occasionally be out for a short time for work, errands, or shopping, but I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. In my home, your pet can enjoy a mix of playtime, walks, relaxation, and social time with our resident pup, depending on their personality and comfort level. For care in your home, I’m available for drop-in visits and sitting, including check-ins, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual routine and needs. For boarding I will require proof of vaccination/current flea prevention. I will not accept behaviors or aggressive dogs in my home unfortunately.

About: We have grown up around dogs all our lives. We treat every dog as if they were our own, making sure they are cared for and loved while you're away. We have two children who adore all dogs and would love to snuggle your fur babies. Family and friends have trusted us for years caring for their pets. After losing our yellow Lab in 2022 at a young age due to health complications, our home felt much quieter. While we weren’t ready to welcome another dog into our family, we knew we still had so much love and care to give. That’s what inspired us to join Rover. I currently work full time Mon - Fri until 1:30/2 pm. close to home. But, I do have a flexible schedule to check in on breaks, accommodate and care for your pet. My wife also works part time/ schedule varies. We coordinate our schedules to make sure needs are met. We have a large, privacy- fenced in backyard with plenty of room to roam and play! We have a 3 year old black lab who loves to make new friends and play. If they prefer their own space, we are mindful of each dog’s comfort level. We can easily crate your dog if needed for sleep and when need to leave the house for a bit.

About: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends because they know their pets will be loved and well cared for. I have experience with both small and large dogs and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to feeding schedules, I provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can work my days around visiting and care sessions! September through May, I am able to provide care in the morning (before 7:00) and after 3:30. I keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and care. I provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise while respecting each pet’s unique personality. In your home, I treat your space with care and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've lived with dogs most my life. I took my childhood dog to puppy classes in petsmart and have used that knowledge to help my friends with their dogs. I'm able to read body language and anticipate needs. I love walking and playing outside. Lost dogs have been able to trust me to help them find their way home since I was a kid. Animals love me as much as I love them 💕 I'm available to take care of your pets when needed, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do so. I love animals and hope to help others take care of their animals. Having a calm and quiet personality has always allowed animals to feel safe and secure around me. I'm able to care for them by showing genuine affection towards them. My current living situation does not all for me to have pets and I'm looking forward to loving and taking care of yours as I would my own.

“Jacqueline was great! She was always precisely on time, handled our very high energy pup with no problems, and brought him back happy & tired out from the walk 🐕 Highly recommend her, and we will be booking her help again in the future.”

“Sarah & Jessica were very communicative and provided detailed daily updates during check-ins with our golden retriever, including photos, and took excellent care of her. They were prompt in responding, completed a timely pre-booking meet-and-greet with us, and consistently showed up for full, on-time walks with regular photo updates. Overall, the experience was stress-free and reliable, and we would highly recommend using their services!”

About: I had dogs growing up and I currently have my own dog. Iv taken care of two litters of puppies. Our family pug had puppies and so did our springer spaniel. We also had a chocolate lab. My current dog is a 1 year old Rottweiler. He is so much fun! Iv been walking dogs for about a year using Wag. I have a full time job and I take care of pets part time. Im usually available after 3pm everyday. I try to walk at least 3 dogs a week. I truly love dogs, all dogs. I will give your dog my full attention while we walk together, meaning I give eye contact, call their name in a playful way, and give them treats (with owner’s permission) and water if they listen to my commands. They will see me as their source of entertainment while getting a great exercise. I will walk or run depending on what your dog wants. Your dog will be very safe with me, I’m strong enough to handle any dog and I double check the harness is secure and double wrap the lease around my wrist.
