Hello, we are Emily and Drake! We are eager to care for your pet(s) right alongside our own while they enjoy their stay here at Critter Camp. Looking after your pet(s) is more than just a side gig for us, it is a part of our daily life. Not only do we find it enjoyable to connect with local community members and enable them to pursue their pet-free trips and plans, but we absolutely LOVE being the bridge between you and your pet(s) while you’re away! It warms our hearts to put your worries at ease and make your pet(s) comfortable and happy, just as we would want when we are traveling away from our critters. We truly love this work! Critter Camp is our beautiful 20 acre property tucked away in the remote hills outside of Eugene, OR. The full-time residents of Critter Camp include our ready-to-play Aussie, Stance, as well as our friendly (and dog savvy) cat, Blankenstein. There are also pigs, chickens, and rabbits here year-round, but they are kept in their own corners of the camp and are not allowed to comingle with other residents. The property encompasses orchard, forest and pasture lands, with the perimeter of the property being fully fenced and secure. There are an endless number of places for your curious critter(s) to explore safely here at Critter Camp! Between the two of us we have a long history of experience with animals, from routine care of the family cat to training and rehabilitating show horses. We've cared for our own puppies as well as our dogs on their final day. We've raised baby geese and mended elderly ducks. We've watched many pets of our friends, our family, and strangers for days or months at a time! We are familiar and comfortable with many animal care situations, including adhering to special dietary or behavioral restrictions, administering medications, or other unique care instructions. We understand the patience and attention that can be required to build trust with animals and we enjoy the nuance of building a relationship with each individual critter!
