Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In South Eugene High School, OR

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”

“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”

“We booked Karina to watch our cats during a ~2wk trip. She took such good care of them even though they hid under our lounger most of the time 🤭 She made sure they had all their favorite things and you can tell they were happy to be playing because their favorite toys were all used while we were gone! We came home to two happy kitties and couldn’t be happier about the peace of mind that came from Karina’s great care and daily updates!”

Dannie Lynn F.

“Erin is a cat whisperer! She provided such excellent updates and coaxed our shy cat out every time she visited and got the cutest pictures showing us they were ok while we were gone. Very thorough and once I got the first update immediately knew they were in good hands and I could relax on my vacation. Definitely recommend.”

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.

“Kendra has been very responsive from start to finish, and took good care of our cat who quickly warmed up to her. She made sure to give him plenty of play time every visit, and sent us nice updates and pictures about how he was doing and what toys he was in the mood for depending on the day :) Would definitely request her again whenever we need a sitter for Mado!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.

“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how much your pet means to you, and I treat every animal I sit for like one of my own. I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities — whether they're energetic and need a lot of playtime or shy and just want some quiet company. I love getting on the floor and actually playing with them, not just watching from across the room. What sets me apart is that I bring the same attentiveness and warmth to pet care that I do to working with kids. I'm active, outdoorsy, and happy to take dogs on long walks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I work a part-time remote internship, which means I'm home a lot and have genuine flexibility throughout the day, no rushing in and out between a packed schedule. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a dog walk, or an overnight stay, I can give pets the time and attention they actually deserve rather than squeezing them in as an afterthought. Being active myself means dog walks are something I look forward to, not just check off a list. Pet care isn't a side hustle I picked up randomly, it’s something I've been doing since I was a kid sitting for neighbors' cats, and it fits who I am. I love for animals to be a part of my daily routine whether I'm working or not. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or yours, my approach is the same: calm, attentive, and consistent. In your home, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible. I know that familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats or anxious pets, so I keep things predictable and low-stress. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels secure and settled the whole time. In my home, pets get a quiet, relaxed environment with some great perks, I have a front lawn and live right next to a park, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time and a great spot for a game of fetch. I work remotely, so I'm present throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I'm careful about introductions and always make sure any pet in my care has their own space to decompress if they need it. In both settings, I stay in close communication with owners, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I take emergencies seriously, and will never hesitate to reach out if something feels off. Your pet's safety and comfort is always the priority.

About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

“Dana was very attentive to detail and did everything my pup needed! Would recommend and would use her again!”
