Devoted to Dogs
Pet care experience
I have been a dog lover my whole life. My first dog was my best friend growing up, and I've always been happiest surrounded by furry friends. I love both working out their energy and chilling with them when they're tired. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs, and am comfortable with them all. Since moving to Eugene, I've missed having animals in my life, so this seems like a perfect way to make both myself and your pet happy. I am a grad student, but have time to check in on pets mid-afternoon and in the evenings during the week, or available all weekend long! I'd love to check in on your pet, go for a walk with them, or be with them overnight while you are away.
Reviews
Catherine stayed at our place for more than 2 weeks to take care of our cat Oliver, and did a fantastic job!!! She made sure Oliver had his medicines every morning and evening, kept his daily routine, and had plenty of love throughout the day and a comforting presence at night. Oliver has separation anxiety yet we came back to a happy cat! And our place was in perfect shape! Plus our older neighbour loved her! Thank you so much, Catherine! We really appreciate your help and we will not hesitate to contact you for our next trip! Thank you!!!
Always showed up and on schedule. Dogs were well taken care of. Would use again! Thanks!
Catherine has always been reliable, and is a comforting presence around even the most temperamental dogs. She is responsible, on time, and trustworthy. Plus my dogs love her, so that's all I really need to know. Catherine's the greatest!
My dog is usually very aggressive with strangers, but when Catherine Donnelly came to meet him Rocky loved her immediately. She was pleasant, followed our specific feeding instructions for our dogs digestive sensitivity, and you could tell my dog was comfortable with her the whole time. Catherine is overall: responsible, caring, animal oriented, and easy to work with!
