About: Growing up with pets, I learned at a very young age, that our family dog did not like being ridden like a horse! While I've been around dogs all my life, most of my experience has been acquired during my adult years. I (Laura) am a freelancing Designer, and my husband (Lawrence) is a retired Registered Nurse. Together we have many years of experience raising our own family dogs: First we had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, then two Yorkshire Terrier's, and currently a Pomeranian mix... ...We also raised a couple of boys, and their motley-menagerie of creatures. I think my heart doubled in size, when I realized I could combine two of my favorite passion's; hanging out with furry little Lapdogs, and creating miniature fashion's for Sport! I also really enjoy doing 'Street' photography of doggies and their humans. Dogs bring us so much joy, we just love making a fuss over them! We live near Downtown Cottage Grove, in one of it's walkable historic neighborhoods. Ours is a child-free home, offering 'Boarding' and 'Daycare' services--hosting only small lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. Additionally, we also do 'Drop-in' visits in 'your' home for small and medium size dogs. Our fully-fenced backyard features a variety of tree's and flower gardens, with lots of room to romp and play. It's complete with a covered patio that provides protection from rain or sun year around. Most importantly, we want you to feel worry-free, while we keep your doggie safe and happy! We are available full-time to provide pet care. Occasionally, I freelance from home--where I make and sell custom-fit dog wear, including alterations on existing doggie wearables. My husband is retired, so we have very flexible schedules to accommodate and host our Lapdog friends. We can host up to three Lapdogs per day/night. We also can do 'drop-in' visits to your home, for both small and medium size dogs. Well, around here, it's safety first! We host only Lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. (Also, we only take small breed puppies.) Ours is a child-free home, with a fully-fenced backyard. We can host up to three dogs per day/night. I always sleep in the same room with our visiting doggies--either on our comfy sofas, or our king sized bed. My husband is a retired Registered Nurse. Please be mindful that visiting dogs need to be current with vaccines, flea & tick prevention, and an identity tag. We also have zoned heating and air conditioning throughout our house. There's several doggie-beds, toys, and crate (if requested) or feel free to provide your own. Also, we want to know about anything you think would be helpful in making your Doggie's visit a successful stay. We offer lots of love, cuddles, and belly rubs!

“Hannah is amazing! She made my clingy and anxious chihuahua feel comfortable and right at home. ? I’m very particular about who I leave him with and she is friendly and answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I received photos and updates during his stay! So glad I found her! Thank you!”

About: Super experienced with pitbulls and puppies. Dogs are special friends who add a high level of joy to my heart ❤️ I say hi to all the dogs I pass on the street ☺️ I am a single parent with 50% custody and work part time so I have extra time for full time love for your dog family members ❤️ I live 2 minutes from a sweet dog walking area around a lake and I prioritize making sure the dog’s needs before leaving for the day!

About: I recently trained my high energy border collie mix puppy and although he’s still a teenager, he’s turned out to be a calm, caring, and gentle pup. Most of my pet sitting care has been done for cats, but I have house sat for a family with a Newfoundland, so I have experience with large breeds. I also have cared for a smaller dog that has OCD and separation anxiety. Thanks to the research and dedication that went into puppy training, I’m well aware of what their body language is signaling, and how to adapt according to what they’re feeling. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. My weekends are pretty flexible as well. Most of my plans are in the evenings (if I do have plans). I give my pets a predictable routine. The cats need a lot of attention as they’re very social. I take my pup to the dog park every couple of days, but I also tire him out through walks, herding games, and mental stimulation.

About: I am a seasoned puppy and dog owner with 10+ years experience of dog sitting for neighbors, friends and family. I am knowledgeable of the Eugene area and with caring for reactive dogs. I am a recent homesteader with a few years experience caring for goats, horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens and ducks. I love fostering an environment where dogs get to have fun and farm animals feel loved. Our two dogs are treated with respect and lots of love. Plenty of couch and bed time mixed with running around the property and playing fetch. We have a doggy pool for when our pups get too hot on those sunny PNW days. We treat client’s dogs as we treat our own. Licking and cuddling allowed!

“Alicia is wonderful; Monty had a great day with her! Alicia shows great awareness of dogs and clear communication. I appreciate working with her and look forward to having Monty stay with her whenever I have long work days. It was great to pick up Monty after an intense work day and have him happy and ready to rest in the evening.”

About: Animals are everything to me, I treat each like my own, with protection, love, and care. I take care of your animals and make sure your home is clean before you come back. I am able to stay the day, or night. I fear no animal. We play, hangout, and have memories together. You pet will be in the best care possible when I am around. When you leave your dog will never feel alone, will never be alone. By the time I leave your furry friend will miss me. I have many references, many people that have me come back when they leave. I am experienced in all care with a big range of animals. I DO HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO WILL JOIN ME. SHE IS 2 YEARS OLD.

“Jackie did wonders for my puppy, Oggie! He’s still very new to my home and I was so worried about what I would do for the first few days while I’m at work. She kept Oggie occupied and happy. He came home and just wanted to sleep 🥰. She sent plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing throughout the day. I’ll be working with her in the future! Thank you so much Jackie!”

About: I have watched many dog when my moms friends where out of town. I have stayed the weekend and made sure they where taken care of. My schedule is pretty open seeing as I make my own schedule at work. And it’s summer so that’s even more time to help out. I have a very friendly dog! He gets lots of walks and my place has a court yard so he gets lots of runs and love.

“Morgan took great care of Sam and kept me updated throughout the day.”

About: I am retired, ex professional, experienced in animal care, domestic, horses and exotic animals. I have done pet and house sitting in France and in the usa. I have excellent references on my website. I can give oral medication, puppies will go out every 2 hours. I have an adorable poodle who will love playing with your puppy, she is like a mother to puppies. I used to do dog rescue while living in France, and placed all dogs saved in very good homes, this was my main concern. I can read dogs body language, and dealt with traumatized dogs, among them my silver poodle, who was very traumatized by his past. I do like old dogs and have adopted some in the past. If a dog swallow something he should not have, I know how to make them throw up. I am retired, as a parent of 2 purbred miniature poodles, I spend most of my time at home, and take them out reguarly. When I have to go out, I am never gone long. I give a lots of attention to my dogs and dogs I sit. I will give the same care to your dogs and if I take them on a walk, will never let them approach a dog I don't know. the yard is fenced but will always go outside with the dogs and will take them on a leash when it's dark. I live outside cottage grove, I am very protective of my own dogs, will be with yours, too.

“Danita was amazing! We were on vacation and needed a last minute sitter for our 4 fubabies. We found her last minute and are so grateful we did! She was completely up for the job. She was sweet and responsive and above all flexible for our needs. Our dogs loved her and felt right at home. She also sent us photos of them throughout their stay while we were gone, which I always love and appreciate. I would highly recommend her for anyone out there looking for care for your furbabies.”

About: I'm a mature educated adult allowed by my animals to stay in their home. I've cared for dogs and cats my whole life. With a fenced yard, dog door that leads to an enclosed outdoor space (catio with small sized dog door,) and little dogs and cats living here- your safe & friendly pet will love playing all day. I work from home and keep a close eye on the pack with frequent play breaks. No kids, no distractions. I'm 3 minutes from my vet, in case of an emergency. I am comfortable and familiar with giving meds. I love animals of all ages, and senior pets are my soft spot. I have a guest room that can be used for privacy if your pet prefers their space from other animals. I'll sleep in there and make sure they are kept company. I will send you lots of photos and can provide you access to the catio cam if desired. Looking forward to welcoming your friendly pet into our pack! I work from my kid-free home and spend a large part of my life playing with animals. Treats, toys, cuddles, and creating nicknames keep me busy. I've been giving medicine to dogs and cats twice a day for 10+ years. You can trust me to follow through with medical needs. Water gets refilled daily and stainless steel bowls keep water clean. Dogs can run around in the securely fenced yard and let themselves out through the dog door to the enclosed catio at their leisure. My yard has space for dogs to play. No chemicals are used on plants or yard. Your sweet and safe animals are welcome here, and will be safe with my sweet and playful cats and little dogs.

About: I usually take myself for a walk in the morning and afternoon, let me take your precious pooch along with me! Big dogs have always been a large part of my life. I grew up with a Newfoundland Retriever mutt and my most recent dog was a lab mix. I spend my Sundays at college walking dogs at the local humane society. I am comfortable with all breeds and have experience with dogs that have health issues. I currently work from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with lots of weekend availability. I would love to take your dog for a walk in both the morning and afternoon! I am extremely gentle with every dog I encounter, but know how to assert myself as the alpha when walking them. I had to go through special training through the Humane Society to walk dogs from all types of backgrounds.
