Structured walks + local adventure!

Pet care experience

*My rate is HOURLY not per half hour.* *My schedule is updated weekly as my primary job hours vary* Hello there! I am an animal advocate and I have been rehabilitating, fostering and training animals for over 20 years. I worked extensively with 1st Avenue Shelter getting dogs healthy, happy, balanced and off to a new home. I held a year long internship with Eugene’s Dog Whisperer learning to improve my relationships with dogs and help other dog owners do the same. I worked as a veterinary assistant for a year. I believe that with calm guidance, exercise, and love, any dog can flourish. I am also flexible and can adjust my sitting style to best serve your dog’s particular preferences or training routines. I am available to house sit while you enjoy vacations, or stop in for walks or care while you’re at work on on a short holiday. I can also walk/run/bike or swim dogs. I’m a hiker and love hiking! I have two of my own friendly dogs that could join in for a walk or, you could specify that your dog prefers to be alone. I offer low-income discounts or trades to those that can show proof of food stamps or similar.

We dropped Eleanor off for the day and Oona took wonderful care of her. Eleanor was walked, fed and I think even bathed. I got text updates, including pictures, all day. It was my first day away from my pup so I was nervous I had nothing to worry about. Oona was on top of it.

I have known Oona most of her life and working with animals is her calling. She is careful and kind but beyond that Oona seems to show a natural bond with all animals. From horses and goats to dogs and cats Oona is empathetic and communicative in a way I've rarely seen between animal and human. As a person she is reliable and dedicated and never takes her responsibilities lightly. Oona has cared for farms of animals single handedly and worked to help retrain the most aggressive dogs. I could not imagine a better person to help take care of someone's best friends.

Oona is simply amazing with animals. She is very patient,kind and understands the needs of the animals. She communicates very well with you about what your animal needs, and the best way to supply those needs.
