Dog Walking South Eugene High School

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.

“Coco looks forward to her walks with Hayden each week. She is always so excited to see her! We both feel secure with Hayden taking her for walks and sniff fests!”

“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: 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!

About: I have cared for a variety of dogs for over 6 years. From puppy to elder, tiny to huge, and sleepy to bouncing off of the walls- I love hanging with all! I have experience in multi animal households, walking (exercise in general), feeding regiments, injuries such as ear infections, etc. It is important to me to maintain normalcy as much as possible while owners are away, and make sure they feel so loved! I am a recently graduated student who is in Eugene for the summer. I work part-time doing research virtually so I have a lot of time on my hands 🙂 I truly cannot think of anything better to do than meet all of the animal neighbors around me. I value clear instructions and will always focus on meeting those expectations. Happy to reinforce rules, training, etc. in all ways! Routine is so important for our pets and I always uplift whatever the norms are.

About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 (21 now) however not all the families had pets but, it always made my night when I also got the opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I started focusing on animal care / house sitting more as I got older. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and have a heck of a lot of free time on my schedule! I can make most any times of the day work. Unfortunately I cannot offer care in my home however I am happy to drive to your home most any time of day when help may be needed!

“Very responsive and sent great pics of our dog. We will definitely work with Mia again!”

“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!”

Janet A.

“When we lost our dog sitter I was devastated and nervous we wouldn't find another great fit. However, we feel so lucky to have found Sarah! She is so carrying, understanding, and just amazing with our high energy 1 year old dog. She truly understands that dogs come with their own unique quirks and does a great job at letting our boy know whose the boss. She listens to what your training goals are and helps you achieve it through consistency. Thank you so much Sarah!!!!”

About: Your pet will be SO loved. Im very in tune with meeting animals where they are at energetically and socially and have so much fun getting to know their unique personalities. I work mostly from home Monday thru Friday. I usually need to go in person an average of about 3 to 4 hours daily between the hours of 12pm-5pm but can still pop in for additional checks and care during that time. I love going for walks, hikes, and the dog park and your bestie can ride in my car. And besides that my nights and weekend are completely free! I have a cozy 1 bedroom apartment and no pets. My space works best for small to medium dogs, but I can (and would LOVE) to host larger dogs if they’re more compact in size (like bulldogs). I am home a lot with remote work or can work from your home! There are 2 dog parks near me- one is 5 minute and the other is 3 minute drive or about a 10 minute walk uphill. I would definitely be available in person to give your pets company and love for most of the day and all night.

“Sara has been great with our dog Rio. We asked if she might be able to run him, and she came to the meet and greet ready to run. Sara communicates well, asks questions, and goes the extra mile (almost literally). Thanks Sara. We appreciate you, and Rio appreciates you.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.

About: I am lucky enough to have lived every single day of my life with pets of some variety–dogs, cats, hamsters, and betta fish, primarily. Some were family pets, but most have been my own. I was seven years old when my parents allowed me my first pet of my very own (Fluffernutter, a brown-and-white banded Syrian hamster), and I still remember spending months poring over library books and researching everything I could about hamster care before bringing her home. Currently, I have one cat (Sushi, light of my life), but she’s only an only child because I don’t yet have the financial means to be the maniacal menagerist of my dreams. Meeting and loving and taking care of animals has always been the brightest part of my life; I genuinely cannot imagine a life without them, and I hope I never have to. Although this is my first time formally offering pet-sitting services, I’ve been caring for others’ pets for years, starting around age twelve. I’ve pet-sat for friends and neighbors, taking care of their dogs, cats, horses, and fish. My responsibilities have included everything from feeding and administering medication (when needed) to walks, cleanup, and making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. While most of my experience is with dogs, cats, horses, and fish, I love animals of all kinds and would be happy to care for most any critter. I spent approximately a year as a Pet Care Specialist at PetSmart, where my primary responsibilities included caring for the store’s fish and reptiles. It was a job I absolutely loved, and I still miss all of the little critters I looked after. I’ve also had a few hamsters over the years, and a close friend of mine had mice, rats, and snakes, all of which I spent a fair amount of time interacting with. Even when I don’t have experience with a specific animal, I always take the time to research their needs and follow all care instructions closely to ensure they’re well looked-after. When it comes to reptiles, I’m comfortable with general care, though I’m not able to provide feeder animals larger than insects. When it comes to dogs specifically, I have the most experience with medium and large pups and am comfortable caring for dogs of most sizes. However, I am not able to sit for any giant breeds. While I love them dearly (and have spent a great deal of time around Newfoundlands in particular), I want to ensure I can safely and confidently handle any situation that may arise. One of my favorite parts of pet-sitting is getting to know each animal as an individual. Every pet has their own personality, preferences, and quirks, and I make it a priority to learn those so I can care for them beyond just the basics. Whether it’s discovering their favorite toy, their ideal walking pace, their go-to nap spot, or how they like to be social (full cuddle mode or quiet companionship), I want your pet to feel understood and comfortable. I also have experience caring for shy and anxious pets. I understand that building trust can take time, patience, and consistency, and I’m more than happy to meet animals at their pace. Even confident pets can feel unsettled when their person is away, so creating a calm, safe, and reassuring environment is always a top priority for me. Above all, I treat every pet in my care the way I treat my own—with attentiveness, respect, and a lot of love. My goal is not just to meet your pet’s physical needs, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important that peace of mind is, and I’d love to provide that for you. A quick snapshot of my care style: • Experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, fish, and small pets • Patient and gentle with shy or anxious pets • Take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and preferences • Attentive, detail-oriented, and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions • Always willing to learn and provide thoughtful care for new types of pets • Not able to sit for giant dog breeds • For reptiles, comfortable with general care but unable to provide feeder animals larger than insects Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week, with the exception of Wednesdays before 10:30am, and I’m always happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and routine. Whether I’m house-sitting or just stopping by to check on your fur babies, my primary focus is keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible to help reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and ensure their environment remains clean and safe. I’m always conscious and respectful of your home, treating it with the same care and consideration I would my own, and ensuring it’s securely locked when I come and go.

“Omg! Ashlee was amazing. Very flexible and very responsible! Great communication. Moose & Rosie absolutely LOVED HER! I can’t wait to use Ashlee’s services again!”

“AJ is amazing, I really trust her with my home and my dog Milo. She’s always very flexible and knows what she’s doing. I truly feel like my dog is taken care of when he’s with her. 10/10 recommend and will also be using her consistently”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, and even a chinchilla throughout my life, so I’ve truly never known life without being surrounded by animals. I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for them has always come naturally to me, whether they’re my own or belong to family and friends. I have roughly 10+ years of non-professional experience and 3 years of professional experience caring for pets, including pet sitting and working with animals of different personalities and needs. A lot of the photos on my profile are actually with pets I’ve cared for, pet sat, or even strays I’ve come across and helped. I also love the outdoors and hiking, so if your pet enjoys being active or going on little adventures, I’m more than happy to bring them along in a safe and fun way. At the same time, my current pets are total couch potatoes who love to relax and lounge around, so I’m just as comfortable matching that calm, low energy vibe. Whether your pet is playful or prefers to take it easy, I’m attentive and focused on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I currently live with my roommate’s 2 year old cat, so I’m used to daily care and attention. I also will be helping care for a new dog starting later this year, which I’m really excited about. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, whether that’s daily visits, walks, or spending extended time with your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment and keep a clean, calm, and pet safe space. That being said, I’ll be moving into a townhome with more space at the end of August. No matter the space, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a secure and loving environment for every pet I care for.
