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.
“Karina did a great job walking Pongo. She's a natural with dogs. You could tell by how excited Pongo was when she arrived. Karina asked great questions in our initial interview. I was impressed by her thorough preparation and queries as to Pongo's habits and preferences. She'll be great with your pet too!”

“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!”

“My pup adores Teresa! He's calmer and better behaved since she started walking him. I always look forward to the notification that she's picked him up cause I know he's safe and happy!”

“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”

“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 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.
About: I’m Kierstin, an animal lover and a dedicated pet care provider with over 15 years of experience. As a proud pet parent myself, I understand that your furry friends are part of the family. It is my mission to provide a loving environment for your pets, with a focus on personalized care and safety, along with regular updates. I currently work remotely at home, so your pets will never feel alone and their set schedules and sense of normalcy can remain in place. I have a fenced yard to allow for outside playtime and a friendly dog of my own who loves to make friends! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to keep your pet safe and happy.
About: I am familiar with dogs of all breeds. I am very intuitive to dogs. I have walked up to three dogs at once. I would be interested in taking your dog or dogs to dog parks and etc. My schedule is pretty open. My dog is getting older and can't do so much any more. I am looking for personal exercise and income. I I live in an apartment. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day on a normal day plus I try to take him to the park twice a week.
About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.
“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!”

I provide care for healthy and medically treated fur babies, with a confident and caring hand. I have a flexible schedule and open to providing detailed needs upon clear communication.

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.
