“Lisa was able to accommodate us on very short notice and took wonderful care of our pups. We could tell during the meet and greet that she truly loves dogs. She was able to be patient and gentle with Harmony who is nervous about getting her harness on. They were totally calm when we returned, we would recommended Lisa and use her services again!”

About: I provide reliable, structured, and genuinely attentive care — not just “watching” your dog, but actively engaging with them to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds and high-energy pups, and I tailor care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether that means long walks, structured play, mental stimulation, or just a calm presence for anxious dogs, I adjust to what helps them feel safest. I have experience reinforcing basic training (sit, stay, and cool tricks), and maintaining routines. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. What sets me apart is communication and consistency — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. If you want picture or messaged every 5 minutes I can do that! I treat every dog like they’re my own, with safety, structure, and affection as my top priorities. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, anytime. My job is also very flexible so I can always give your pet the attention they need at any time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, organized, and pet-safe environment free of hazards, and I closely supervise all pets. I never leave dogs unattended in situations that could put them at risk, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed, use leashes on walks at all times, and remain alert to surroundings for safety. Communication is key — I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, positive experience every time.
“Elene was amazing! She was communicative with any questions she had for us and sent regular updates with pictures of our pets. She took great care of our pets which gave us that peace of mind knowing our pets would be well taken care of. I would absolutely request Elene's services again.”


“Amy was a caring and fun cat sitter for Cal and Cookie. She played with them and sent pictures and messages while we were away. She also left the home clean and ready for our return. Thanks Amy!”

“This was our second time having Tina watch our two dogs in our home for over a week. Tina is an excellent sitter! Our dogs have a pretty strict schedule and multiple medications and she handles it all with ease. Our dogs love spending time with her. Our house is spotless when we return. She even handled our fridge going out while she was gone. We would highly recommend Tina!”

About: I grew up caring for my own dogs and cats leading to have simply fallen in love for taking care of and hanging out with pets! I treat my friends' pets as if they are my own and my previous clients have greatly appreciated the time I spend with and the effort I put into their pets. When I commit to caring for your animals I put my whole heart into it to ensure that you and your pet feel comfortable! I currently live with two dogs and three cats so I am very familiar with the daily routine of caring for pets. Pet care fits very smoothly into my daily and weekly routine as I do not have any big commitments to worry about. I am very flexible with how and when to care for your animals and would love to ensure your pets are well taken care of by providing them thorough exercise and love! I really do treat my clients' pets as though they are my own so when going to a clients' home I make sure to respect their space but also to prioritize their pet. I will happily take them on long walks to ensure they get proper exercise and play with them in the backyard if applicable. I love to spend time hanging out and cuddling with them inside as well. As for cats I will gladly do the same and give them much attention and love!
About: I form deep connections with each animal I care for. I have had 3 senior dogs, including my current fur baby who is 17. I was raised in a vegan family, passionate about animal care and ethics. We have been involved in many dog & cat rescues. I am currently working part-time and a part-time student. I have flexibility around my work schedule to suit your needs. Plenty of morning and evening time to spend quality time with your fur babies. I leave every home the same way I found it, or cleaner! I am also passionate about health, wellness and fitness. Your animals’ wellbeing is in good hands with a stable and reliable care taker.
“Ada was great with our two bassett hounds! She was flexible with timing and was very easy to get a hold of! Our younger hound did great with her even though she has high anxiety.”

“Maggie is an excellent pet sitter who genuinely cares for animals! Our pets loved her and she made us feel comfortable by sending updates and pics while we were away. Maggie communicates well and with clarity. She is reliable and professional. It is a gift to be able to go away and know that your fur babies are in great hands. We will definitely call on Maggie again!”

“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”

“Olivia took excellent care of our 4 cats, chickens and the rest of the house while we were gone. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that the herd was well tended. Appreciated the pics and updates, tidy house and happy animals. Highly recommend!”

“Margrit really knows a lot about dogs and took great care of my dog Eddie. He seemed really happy and loved when I saw him again. Margrit was also super flexible with me and I’m super grateful for her last-minute flexibility.”

About: Physical therapy grad student who loves to stay active and hike, run, or walk with dogs. Lifelong animal lover with 25+ years experience in caring for furry friends. Experienced in positive reinforcement training for dogs and in providing care for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I currently work weekdays and would love to provide love and attention to furry friends in the evenings and weekends when I'm free. I'm happy to provide care in your home environment to assure your pets comfort. I have some availability to host pets in my home in Eugene which is located near two dog parks. I care for pets in client's homes with both drop-in services and over-nights. I offer potty-breaks every 6 hours and dog-walking every morning. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats, and additional animals upon discussion.
