Dog Walking in Downtown, Eugene, OR

“Lily absolutely loves her walks with Hayden. It’s been so good for her to get these morning walks to get the zoomies out. As a work from home person, it has really changed my ability to work without distraction. Really grateful for Hayden.”

About: Besides caring for dogs, I've had 10 years of experience handling and caring for horses. Even though horses aren't dogs, they act quite similar to dogs, and that's what I've grown to love about taking care of dogs and horses. At home I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, so I'm well versed in taking care of bigger dogs, but no dog will ever be too small! I've had my dog since she was a puppy to her being nine years old, so I've had my fair share of puppy years to "teen" years to more older, senior citizen years and have loved and took care of her during all aspects. Since I'm on summer break from college, I'll have tons of free time to take care of your pet. Looking to have a part-time job as well as pet care, but will continue to prioritize and take excellent care of your pets. Will have time to do daily check-ins as well as evening routines, and if needed stay the night to keep your pup company. I'll care for pets in my clients home by respecting their home space and taking excellent care of their fur babies. From a drop in for potty breaks to overnight stays, I'll provide safe, trustworthy environments, keeping a watchful eye on your pet and making sure they won't get into trouble!

About: I have always been an animal lover. During any friend or family get together you will 100% find me visiting more with the pets than the people. Throughout my life I have owned or cared for mice, cats, dogs, rabbits, and most recently guinea pigs. For the last 5 years I have been a devoted guinea pig mommy, and aunty to many of my friends sweet dog and cat fur babies. It would bring me great joy to provide you peace of mind about your pet being safe and taken care of, whether you are away on vacation or just gone to work for the day. I have a very flexible schedule with availability any day of the week at a variety of times. I am a former Elementary Teacher of over 20 years who is looking for another passion to fill both my time and my heart. I intend to carefully follow any directions provided to give your pet and yourself a positive experience. I have excellent organizational skills and am attentive to details of the environment around me as well as the pets behavior and needs.

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide walks, drop-ins, boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I don’t accept dogs over 40 lbs and I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament. Any dog on the larger side that I accept must be calm and extremely good at interacting with the little ones. My priority is to ensure a safe environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. When I do have dogs of different sizes together I carefully supervise interactions and leash or separate larger dogs from smaller ones if needed. I provide a fenced yard, daily walks (if desired) and frequent potty breaks. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep in a crate in the bedroom with us, in a soft sided crate on our bed, in an exercise pen, or loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available. Some dogs I allow to be loose in the bed with us but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crated, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone unsupervised with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I also ensure all dogs are secured when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escape artists. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences a veterinary emergency, I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has a stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

“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.”

“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 grew up having many animals and have had cats and dogs my entire life. I love talking care of animals as well as going on walks! I am near the UO campus so that would be my preferred location. I am a college student so my schedule changes daily. I am mainly available any time besides 11am-3pm and I am open whenever on the weekends. I am not planning on housing pets in my house because I have a cat who does not get along will with other people's pets.

I also like to make them their own safe area in my home. If they are at their own home they already have their comfort area.

“Quick response. Met with us and the dogs the following day. Came in when expected. Dogs were walked and happy when we came home. We got pics and a description of their walk. Recommend 100%!”

“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 was super flexible and took my dog, sage on a very long walk. I could tell sage was comfortable with Maddie and she got a lot of energy out on their walk. Maddie arrived on time and was prepared, would book again in the future!”

“Pinch loves his walks/runs with Julia. He’s always excited to see her. Julia is always punctual and has great communication with us. She’s shared some beautiful photos of Pinch. Is accommodating when asked to increase walking time. We are grateful for her! We will continue to have Julia walk Pinch for however long it works for both of us”

“Kristine is a lifesaver and came through practically the day before we even knew we needed her service. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody and will be using her again probably in the near future.”

“Josh was Incredible! My dog, Ziggy, is a bit apprehensive meeting new people and especially welcoming people into our home. Josh listened to my requests for their first meeting and had such good vibes and body language that it was a mere matter of minutes before Ziggy was literally eating out of his hands and Ziggy had no problem with Josh following us upstairs and hanging out inside. I didn't doubt for a second that Josh could handle Ziggy's antics and his strength on the leash. Josh sent daily updates and pictures of Ziggy out on walks and snuggling with him on the couch. I had a friend checking in on my kitty but Josh noticed that she (the cat) had thrown up in the spare room and not only let me know about it, and kept an eye on her mood/behaviors but even took it upon himself to clean up the mess! I was blown away. Ziggy had a great time and I will definitely book Josh for future pet care. Thank you so much, Josh!”
