Profile updated September 2024 About me: Hello pet parents! I am a lifelong animal lover who had been working with dogs professionally for about ten years, and casually since I was a kid. I am currently boarding dogs at our country home in Noti, Oregon, about 30 min west of Eugene. I am usually able to pick up and drop off dogs in Eugene since I drive into town almost every evening for petsitting jobs— drop in visits and dog walks. We had a baby earlier this year so I am home during the day with the baby and usually do my petsitting jobs in the evenings. Because of the baby I am no longer housesitting. About our setup: We live on a nine acre, fully fenced in property. We run a small farm and have chickens and alpacas (all in their own fenced in areas). We take dogs for walks two or three times per day. Dogs can be off leash if they listen, but we can also leash walk dogs. We crate dogs at night in our living room. This is a requirement since we had trouble with letting dogs have free reign unsupervised. Dogs must be nonaggressive (mild reactivity is normal during introductions, but we do not work with truly aggressive dogs). Dogs must be comfortable sleeping in a crate for up to eight hours at night (since I am almost always home during the day, we don’t generally need to crate dogs during the day). We are also able to board cats, we have a dedicated spare room that we use for cat boarding, so we keep cats and dogs separated:) Thank you for considering me for the job!
