Dog Walking Eugene

About: I have always had an affinity for animals, and have always had them in my life. My first dog was a keeshound mix named Katrinka, since then I have had a wide variety of animal friends, from ferrets to horses. As an adult I worked as a vet tech and organic dog treat baker These days I am a working artist and have fewer animals, in the interest of being able to travel and create. Pet sitting allows me to enjoy the company of a wide variety of animals, without the long term commitment. In addition to pet sitting in your home, I am available for daily drop-in visits to get your pup out for a run, change litter boxes + water, or just give them some company while you are at work. I am currently available for pet sitting in your home, as well as dog walking, chicken tending, and related animal services.

About: I have a dog of my own, a Yorkie, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Having my own dog has given me personal experience with the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet and making sure their needs are met. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I would love to get to know your pet and provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and help make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! As a student at the University of Oregon, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate visits, walks, and feeding times around my classes and other commitments. I am dependable and organized, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s usual routine. I will communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, care, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring every step of the way.

“Adam was great with Luna. She always looked forward to their walks by waiting excitedly and happily. He was accommodating to her needs, her energy level, specific training, and commands. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone in need of someone to watch or walk their dog.”

“Erin did a great job on 4 weekly walks with Cody! She was very thorough with reports and photos, which makes us feel comfortable. She clearly is a dog-lover and shows the same care that we woud with our dog. Highly recommend.”

“Teresa was wonderful!! She was great at communicating (even when it was late) and went out of her way to make sure my pup had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook next time we need help ☺️🤗”

About: Having lived with dogs for most of my life, I have experienced all age ranges – from rambunctious puppies to senior citizens. This has taught me a lot about day-to-day pet care, including walks, noticing body language, food, medication, and more. Additionally, I work part-time at a pet-friendly condo building. There, I meet dogs of all shapes and sizes. From shy and timid, to bold and outspoken, it’s a highlight of my shift to say hi to all my doggie friends. I also have experience pet-sitting cats and dogs. Please send me a message if you need help with your pet or have any questions! My current work/school schedule is gig based - so shoot me a message and I will promptly let you know if the time slot works! While I visit your pet, I will be empathetic, respect their boundaries, and let our friendship naturally grow over time. I love going on walks, so hopefully we will spend lots of time outside! Nevertheless, if your pet prefers indoors, that is fine with me. If I visit your property, I will treat it with utmost respect and care, as if it were my own. I always make sure to leave the property just as I found it. While at university, I am overjoyed to still be spending time with pets. I can't wait to meet yours!

About: I am down for big walks or shorter ones depending on what is best for your pet! I love walking and I love cats and dogs, which is why I do this! I am a student, and have a part time job, but I love the experience of hanging out with animals! I find it very fulfilling and I just love meeting new furry friends. I care so much about every pet I meet and treat them like they’re my own. I love my own dog, and it’s so nice to get to meet other pets too!

“Was communicative and provided a detailed summary! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and I’m excited to meet yours! I am very experienced with reactive and senior dogs and understand that each dog is different and has individual needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions for care to ensure they are getting exactly what they need. I have worked with many rescues and currently work with NW Dog Project, so I’m well versed in all things dog. :) I take your trust in me seriously as I know how important our dogs are to us and I look forward to helping with their care. I am a self employed Massage Therapist so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I have mostly open availability on weekends and am available in the morning and evening on week days. It is possible I am available throughout the day if given enough notice. I will follow your lead on rules regarding walking your dog or drop-in visits- and will always respect your home and keep your dog safe and protected on walks!

“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”

About: Having pets is more then having a little creature live in your home, it’s having a family member and loved one. Growing up, pets were always considered family and deserving of the upmost love, attention and care. I carry that with me when taking care of others babies! My number one priority will always be your pets safety and happiness! I love to find new games and new smells with the pets in my care, because it’s so important for their brains to be stimulated. My cat, Mr. Stinks and I love to play hide and seek! P.S I love to capture your pets sweet and silly moments, so you will receive some great photos! I am currently a student working part-time and my schedule can be pretty flexible! I am available most nights, afternoons and early mornings to check your pets, take them on walks or even just provide some extra cuddles. My availability for house sitting varies weekly because of my work schedule, however I can be pretty flexible! If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! My biggest concern will always be your pets safety and happiness. Whether that means double checking to make sure the leash is secure, cleaning up to ensure they have a clean environment or just loving them the way you would until you are back.

About: I’ve had dogs since young and I’ve loved to train them and work with them. I also really enjoy talking dogs for walks because it is super peaceful and fun. I am currently a college student who is already active. I go for runs at least 3 times a week and can incorporate more walks into my routine. I will abide by the clients rules and how they walk their animal. I also will try to create a bond with the pet so they want to go with me or allow me in their home.

“This is my first time using Rover and Emilio was great. She was responsive and timely and my pup had a great walk. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Living vicariously through pet sitting so that I don't have 20 dogs of my own. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! With three dogs of my own, I understand that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your dog is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, or a high-energy ball of chaos, I'm here for it! I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own, with plenty of love, patience, playtime, and maybe a little extra spoiling! 🐾❤️ I'm a full time real estate agent looking to fill my downtime with what I love the most, animals! Flexible to fit your pets needs. I have a fully fenced back yard and a home with great division if needed. We have one dog (male fixed black lab) full time and 3 total part time. Wether your pet is best at their own home or love exploring new places, I can accommodate.

“Linda was prompt, responsive and very friendly. My dog loved her after one walk. I will definitely book again!”

“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 ! :)”

“It was great! Dana did an excellent job, great communicating, and happy dog when I got home!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.
