“Cassandra was awesome! She arrived on time for each walk. Koda was ready to relax after his walks which is important for a husky:) I'll be asking Cassandra again when I'm not able to give Koda his daily walks.”

“Jase came for a meet and greet and was awesome! My pup instantly took to her and she asked great questions. She was kind and accommodating and even walked with us in the rain. I’m happy to have found someone for regular visits.”

“Josh was Incredible! My dog, Ziggy, is a bit apprehensive meeting new people and especially welcoming people into our home. Josh listened to my requests for their first meeting and had such good vibes and body language that it was a mere matter of minutes before Ziggy was literally eating out of his hands and Ziggy had no problem with Josh following us upstairs and hanging out inside. I didn't doubt for a second that Josh could handle Ziggy's antics and his strength on the leash. Josh sent daily updates and pictures of Ziggy out on walks and snuggling with him on the couch. I had a friend checking in on my kitty but Josh noticed that she (the cat) had thrown up in the spare room and not only let me know about it, and kept an eye on her mood/behaviors but even took it upon himself to clean up the mess! I was blown away. Ziggy had a great time and I will definitely book Josh for future pet care. Thank you so much, Josh!”

About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I have helped take care and sit dogs since I was about 14. I always make sure each pup gets the same love and attention as well as catering to any special care they may need. I will care for every dog as if it was my own. I have fostered a few dogs over the years and have experienced a wide range of different breeds! I am a full time college student as well as working. With the free time I do have I would love to spend some of it with the fur babies! I have a decent amount of leisure time throughout the week and would love nothing more than spending it helping others and taking care of their pups! I will always make sure my full attention is on your pup and make sure to take not of any special care your dog may need. I will always make sure they get lots of attention and play time depending on their needs and will check in regularly with owners to ensure their pup is in good hands!

“Kristine is a lifesaver and came through practically the day before we even knew we needed her service. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody and will be using her again probably in the near future.”

“Madison did a great job with my two special-needs pups! One is in a stroller and has to be taken to the grass to potty, and the other is dog reactive. She handled them together like a pro! She showed up right on time as well. Highly recommend.”

About: I started walking dogs when I was 15 and my family got our first dog, and leash trained my own cat shortly after! I got my first offer to walk my neighbor's Labrador when I was 16 and have been walking people's dogs ever since! :D I currently work a part-time job where I choose my own hours, so my schedule is very open! Just let me know what schedule works for you! I carry my own pop-up water bowl to ensure any dogs I'm walking stay properly hydrated, and with the hot season coming up I will also be keeping a close eye out for heat exhaustion in any dogs I'm walking, as their safety is my TOP priority! I try to make an effort to keep paws off of hot or salted sidewalks when I can as well. I will also always bring my own bags to pick up any poop a dog makes!
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.
About: I have over 10 years of experience with animals. I have helped friends, family, and neighbors with caring for their animals and making sure they are well taken care of. I have my own puppy that I am training and I understand the time and care they need to thrive! I currently work full time but work many overnight hours that allows me to be available during the day to help take care of your animals! I always want to build trust between me and your pets to ensure they feel comfortable. I am always present and make sure that your pets are getting all the love they deserve!
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 had dogs my whole life, i currently have 3 right now. 1 golden doodle and 2 toy poodles. I have been around and taken care all sorts of dogs and I love every single one of them. I walk, feed, play, etc with dogs when i am taking care of them. I am 19 years old and I currently attend the University of Oregon as a Sophomore studying business. I miss my babies back home so I decided to offer dog walking services over weekends and some weekdays while I am in Eugene. I love dogs and I love walking so this is perfect for me. I have a fenced back yard, and a 2 story house so if your dogs do not like to be around other dogs I can easily keep mine separated from yours at all times. I will walk, feed, and play with the pets to keep them as comfortable and as happy as possible.
