Cat Sitting River Road

“Erin provided excellent care to my senior cats. She gracefully navigated complications presented by my partially-socialized feral cat, who fears most humans. Erin provided descriptive visit summaries and arrived at consistent times every day. I will ask her to care for them in the future.”

“Mia took great care of our three cats on short notice! They are relatively high maintenance and needed multiple medications. We got many pictures of our very happy babies and we would definitely book with Mia again in the future!”

Nic P.

“Took care of my cats very well, kept me updated daily and always did daily tasks (filling up water, giving food, scooping box). Very easy to work and communicate with.”

Grace W.

“Absolutely amazing. We had Skyla come in twice a day to check on, feed, and give some lovin to our cat. She gave us wonderful updates every time with good detail and amazing pictures. She took great care of our baby and we would happily rebook next time we go out.”

Noa R.

“Julia is responsive, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond! She sent photos and updates daily which were greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“I am very thankful we found Bev to care for our cat Cote. Cote is a tamed feral cat and a long haired domestic. She is timid and slow to warm up to newcomers and adding to the quandary Cote is a perfect Primadonna. About 2 hours after we left Bev went over to check on Cote and sent a picture of Cote's surprised expression!! We requested three 1/2-hour check-ins a day. Within a couple of feedings, Bev sent an image showing Cote eating treats out of her hand!! Cote will only eat her wet food warmed and with a bit of water added and stirred into it, and Bev had no trouble doing that. Bev also realized that Cote required her food to be located wherever she was sitting in order for her to eat. In one picture Cote was eating her warmed food in the lawn!! Bev also earned the ability to pet Cote. The pictures and comments Bev sent were fun and comical and she stayed in contact with us the whole time we were gone. Bev has an innate sense about animals and their needs, and I feel very comfortable taking vacations now that we have found Bev to look after our furry Primadonna.”

“Amy was very thorough and reliable, and I felt like our cat was in good hands while I was away for the day! The 'meet and greet' a few days before was very nice as well. Thank you Amy!”

Douglas B.

“Friendly and compassionate. Followed directions as asked”

Debra A.

“Alix was great!! Super responsive and flexible when we had a cancelled flight. Our boys were well looked after and our house too. Would absolutely book again. :)”

Sophie R.

“Siobhan took extra care care of our kitties while we were away. We couldn't believe how quickly they both warmed up to her. We will definitely book again.”

Ryan R.

“Teresa was amazing! She took such great care of my 2 kitties. She sent daily photos and videos of them and was always quick to respond to any questions or updates I had. She even stayed with them longer than expected just to make sure they were taken care of, played with them, gave them treats and cuddles and was also able to give my senior kitty his medicines. I could tell my kitties really liked her! I’m so grateful to have found someone as kind, thoughtful, and reliable as Teresa. Highly recommend!”

Pia S.

“Amazing! While usually shy and nervous, my little feline buddy immediately warmed up to Samantha. She provided excellent updates and pictures (very high-quality) consistently while we were gone. Would definitely book again!”

Connor S.

“Rosa did a wonderful job again! She has been gaining the trust of my not so trusting cat and is very respectful of her boundaries. My cat now runs up to greet Rosa and allows pets. My elderly mother who lives in the house is also very fond of Rosa and feels very comfortable having her here. Rosa sends pictures and videos during her visits which helps me feel confident that my cat is being well taken care of. I would definitely continue to book with her and encourage others to do so. She is a very kind and thoughtful caregiver.”

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I only accept dogs that stand 17 inches or less at the shoulder and weigh 30lbs or less. I do occasionally make exceptions to this rule for senior dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with small dogs, calm, low energy and slow moving. I don’t accept Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pitbull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Huskys, German Shepherds and Chow Chows or their mixes due to these breeds not being a good fit for my small dog environment (a small percentage of 15% or less is okay if it came up in your dog’s mixed breed DNA test though). Please keep in mind I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament your dog needs to be friendly with a group of dogs during a daycare trial or meet and greet in order to be approved for boarding. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. I have a house with a dog door and fenced yard and your dog will have full access to just like they are used to at home. I provide frequent potty breaks as well as not all dogs are familiar with a dog door. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep in a crate in the bedroom with us, in a soft sided crate on our bed, in an exercise pen, or loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available. Some dogs I allow to be loose in the bed with us but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crated, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I use tall pet gates to ensure all entrances are secure when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escape artists. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences an illness or injury during their stay I will contact your dog’s usual veterinarian. In case of an emergency after hours I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has a stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

“The cats love Dani and we love Dani! Great with all pets, she used to watch our dog too, and the animals feel very loved when she is in charge! Even our siamese Aiko, who is friends with no one but us, loves Dani! Very reliable and leaves our home a lot better than when we left!”

Diana E.

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing with our cat Millie! She was easy to coordinate with ahead of our travels and provided great updates while we were gone. Will definitely be using again!”

Rebecca G.

“Amelia is great! She has been kind enough to accept our offer extremely short notice, like day of. 😬 She remains in contact through out our time away.”

“We are soo glad we chose Katelyn to take care of our 4 cats while my husband and I traveled for a wedding! She was incredibly easy to get ahold of and always sent pictures and updates. She always came by promptly and made sure one of our cats took her medicine”
