“Erin was wonderful with my boys —I booked her last minute and she showed up happy, helpful, and ready to work. The dogs loved her, and I’ll definitely book again!”

About: I have had pets my whole life- I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas! I understand that all pets have different needs. I can be there for you when you can't, and will make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I love dogs and other pets too! I currently have 2 cats and want to make all cats my friend (even though they have their own thoughts on this!). I had a Frenchie for 10 amazing years, and grew up with Labs. I have a flexible schedule and am available most times. I can be available for pet routines or drop in visit, morning, mid day or afternoon/evening. I can come to you- in home visits, or dog walking. I am central to Eugene and have a reliable car for visits. I can visit mornings or afternoons.
“Julia was super kind and understanding of my complicated dogs. She seemed knowledgeable and like she cared. She listened very well to all my needs and worked hard to accommodate.”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since the day I was born. I grew up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and have loved them more every day. I started dogsitting for family friends and neighbors when I was 12, and have done so for many different people and pets since then. I’ve also worked professionally at a doggy daycare, so I can handle a lot at once! (And a lot of energy!) I’m familiar with working with both small and large dogs, as well as animals with special needs. I grew up caring for a deafblind Australian Shepherd and have fostered dogs with balance disorders, as well as working with disabled dogs during my doggy daycare time. I love animals more than anything and would love to be the person to give your pets a great day! This is my full time job! I am available whenever you need me. My only regular commitments are volunteering with rescue cats and a recurring appointment on Fridays. Otherwise, I’m able to dedicate as much time as your pets need from me. I’ve worked with clients with a variety of preferences for how their animals are cared for - just let me know! I can stay in the house as long as you need, let your dogs out as frequently as needed, and follow whatever feeding and care instructions your pet requires. I’ve petsat in anything from an apartment to a large house and I’m comfortable in everything in between. Let me know how I can tailor your pet’s care to what they need!
“It was so great to meet Jillian. Mellow can sometimes be slow to warm up to people but Jillian was very thoughtful and calm with her approach and moved at a pace that suited us, Mellow was sitting for treats and coming in close for cuddles in no time! We are looking forward to booking future visits and walks. Thanks for having compassion and an understanding of our dog reactive dog and being a part of his journey!”

“Karina has done a great job consistently walking my two very rambunctious pups. She’s very good at balancing fun play time with training and ensure they are well behaved. The dogs are always ecstatic to see her. I have never had any issues contacting her and she goes above and beyond to send great updates on how the walks have gone and if she needs anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”

About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
About: I have loved cats and dogs all my life, and have even made dog grooming my career. I have over 18 years of experience working with dogs, and caring for them outside of work. Pets are our best friends and family, and caring for them is a passion of mine. I am available seven days a week, typically, and work part time, currently. My availability is open in the later afternoons and evenings, with mornings available upon request. I have cared for my cat for over 13 years. I regularly care for my sister’s 2 dogs and cat when she is out of town. I care for my roommate’s cat and dog regularly and when she is away. Dog walking, pet feeding and loving- are regular activities for me.
“Lily absolutely loves her walks with Hayden. It’s been so good for her to get these morning walks to get the zoomies out. As a work from home person, it has really changed my ability to work without distraction. Really grateful for Hayden.”

“Maddie was super flexible and took my dog, sage on a very long walk. I could tell sage was comfortable with Maddie and she got a lot of energy out on their walk. Maddie arrived on time and was prepared, would book again in the future!”

“Amelia did such a great job. We have been out of town for a while and both our parents are too old to walk our dog. Amelia was able to let herself into our house and get our puppy ready for her walk. It was so awesome to be able to trust her to take care of our baby. Thanks so much Amelia!”

About: For ten years, my friends or family have trusted me to take care of their furry (or scaly) friends when they're away. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including elderly, disabled, shy, high energy, and/or rescue dogs and cats. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! This term (Spring 2026), the longest stretch I would have to be away is four hours (on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I am highly flexible with addressing your pet's unique social and exercise needs. I am open to taking them to a dog park, taking them on a hike, or whatever activity they enjoy. No worries if your pup is sensitive to other dogs/ children/ cats- I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

It was so great to meet Jillian.

We are looking forward to booking future visits and walks. Thanks for having compassion and an understanding of our dog reactive dog and being a part of his journey!

Nicole was absolutely perfect with Mellow today! He is dog reactive and has stranger danger so has a few complicated things to work though, but Nicole was fab and took the time to build his trust step by step. He was taking treats and leaning in for cuddles in no time. Nicole really understands his body language and need for space while out on walks as we work through his reactivity. We can't wait for our next visit:) thank you!

We are SO happy we found Christina! Her service is amazing and meets my dog's physical, mental and social needs. We've been looking for someone who does off-leash adventures and are beyond excited about continuing to book with Christina. She is clearly knowledgable, responsable, and loves dogs. My dog comes home from her adventures happy, tired, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Highly recommend you reach out to Christina!

Just finished our last walk with Charlie. We are sad to say bye. I broke my wrist so Charlie met me at the Dogpark once a week with my (2) 100 lb dobies. I couldn’t have exercised them without him through my recovery. What a lifesaver! Easy going, laid back, pleasant and easy to converse with. He was great with Hoot and Holler even though they aren’t great leash walkers. Highly recommend.
