“I recently boarded my dog with Tessa for a few days and it was a wonderful experience! Her property is not only beautiful and spacious but she also sent me tons of updates and photos while my dog was in her care. Definitely will be a repeat client. Thank you so much! 🐾”


“My two did loved it there! Alicia is absolutely fabulous, was very responsive to our reservation request, and kept us in the loop throughout their stay. We'll definitely bring them back again!”

“Leaving our dog with Keith and family was a great experience. We received daily updates with pictures and knew that he was being loved on the whole time. It was like a vacation for him, while we were off vacationing. I can’t recommend Keith and family enough.”

“I’m so happy with Danielle! My dog did well with her (it takes her a bit to settle and trust) and I felt comfortable with her in Danielle’s home. She also sent me several photos and updates during Fey’s stay - I appreciated being updated.”

“Shannon did an amazing job! She is so kind, easy to work with, and truly cared for Marshmallow! She sent me photos of them on hikes & snuggling, which gave me a lot of peace while out of the state. I absolutely recommend working with Shannon!”

About: Growing up with pets, I learned at a very young age, that our family dog did not like being ridden like a horse! While I've been around dogs all my life, most of my experience has been acquired during my adult years. I (Laura) am a freelancing Designer, and my husband (Lawrence) is a retired Registered Nurse. Together we have many years of experience raising our own family dogs: First we had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, then two Yorkshire Terrier's, and currently a Pomeranian mix... ...We also raised a couple of boys, and their motley-menagerie of creatures. I think my heart doubled in size, when I realized I could combine two of my favorite passion's; hanging out with furry little Lapdogs, and creating miniature fashion's for Sport! I also really enjoy doing 'Street' photography of doggies and their humans. Dogs bring us so much joy, we just love making a fuss over them! We live near Downtown Cottage Grove, in one of it's walkable historic neighborhoods. Ours is a child-free home, offering 'Boarding' and 'Daycare' services--hosting only small lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. Additionally, we also do 'Drop-in' visits in 'your' home for small and medium size dogs. Our fully-fenced backyard features a variety of tree's and flower gardens, with lots of room to romp and play. It's complete with a covered patio that provides protection from rain or sun year around. Most importantly, we want you to feel worry-free, while we keep your doggie safe and happy! We are available full-time to provide pet care. Occasionally, I freelance from home--where I make and sell custom-fit dog wear, including alterations on existing doggie wearables. My husband is retired, so we have very flexible schedules to accommodate and host our Lapdog friends. We can host up to three Lapdogs per day/night. We also can do 'drop-in' visits to your home, for both small and medium size dogs. Well, around here, it's safety first! We host only Lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. (Also, we only take small breed puppies.) Ours is a child-free home, with a fully-fenced backyard. We can host up to three dogs per day/night. I always sleep in the same room with our visiting doggies--either on our comfy sofas, or our king sized bed. My husband is a retired Registered Nurse. Please be mindful that visiting dogs need to be current with vaccines, flea & tick prevention, and an identity tag. We also have zoned heating and air conditioning throughout our house. There's several doggie-beds, toys, and crate (if requested) or feel free to provide your own. Also, we want to know about anything you think would be helpful in making your Doggie's visit a successful stay. We offer lots of love, cuddles, and belly rubs!
“Hannah was so accommodating and above and beyond with her communication! Teddy enjoyed his time there and found that Toose was bigger than him and a great playmate! Would use again!”

“Morgan took such great care of Sophie! She gave us regular updates and was so quick to communicate! We would definitely recommend Morgan and will definitely reach out in the future when we need care of Sophie!”

“Dominique and Josiah were amazing, they took such great care of my dog and 2 bunnies for more days then planned due to unforeseen circumstances, alleviating my stress about getting home asap. I will happily ask them again in the future, and hope they will take us, they really went above and beyond, Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!”

About: Ive taken care of all my own dogs since I was 15, we can bathe, give pills, walks, runs, park trips, rides in the car, hikes. I have a Scottish terrier who has a lot of skin and allergy issues so I know how to deal with all that. I work from home right now as does my fiancé, so someone is always here to watch your pups, and play with them, walk them etc. We have a fenced yard here, a large crate if needed, we have one 10 yr old fixed male Scottish terrier who is good with most all dogs just not aggressive ones, he sleeps mostly all day but he will play when the mood arises.

“Heather was great with Louie. She gave me daily pictures and updates, played with him, and took care of the daily things needed for his care. Can’t say enough good things about Heather.”

“We love having Kelsee watch our three pups! We have an older dog that requires medicine daily, a 100lbs dog, and one other younger medium size dog. All three of our dogs love Kelsee! She snuggles and plays with them and sends us pictures. She is detail oriented and all of requests were followed. We appreciate knowing we can take a family trip and know our fur babies are well taken care of!”


“Sam did a great job taking care of our kitties for three days. They were fed and the cat box cleaned up as needed, so we didn't need to worry about them. I'm not sure she ever got to interface with one kitty that hid whenever she came over, but she sent a picture of our other kitty who looked quite content with with her presence. We will use her again in the future I'm sure.”

About: I can care for a wide variety of animals. Care will include lots of physical and mental stimulation, as well as anything else you’d like! Let me know if your animal(s) needs any additional care such as medication administration or needs to be kept separate from other animals, and I will be more than happy to accommodate your animal’s needs. There will also be an opportunity to become a private client to avoid the insane Rover fees, so you can save money and I get the full amount that you pay! (Currently, Rover takes 20% of my pay AND charges you even extra!) I do have full time school 3 days a week, so will be gone a good part of the day during those days. Dogs are required to be crated while I’m away. I will do my best to be flexible and use effective communication with all my clients. I have 2 dogs, a cattle dog and a golden retriever. I also have 2 cats at home as well. Let me know in advance if your animal(s) are reactive or aggressive to people or dogs. All dogs will have plenty of physical and mental exercise, and anything else that they need during the day. Bring toys, food, leashes, crates, and whatever else is needed at drop off.

About: Our pets miss us when we’re gone. Keeping your pet’s routine helps reduce stress. My pet services include spending time with your pet to give them love and affection! I will feed, refresh water and administer medication as directed. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including livestock.

About: Young and old, disabled and moody, I've cared for them all, and have never been without several cats in my life. My Mother used to rescue/trap, spay/neuter, nurse/tame. We have even tamed adult wild cats. It takes lots of time and patience. I've pet sit for many kitties, even for a cat rescue other than ours with over 50 cats. That was incredible! I look forward to meeting your fur baby.

About: I once had 4 cats in my house. I know how to care for them and make them comfortable as well as entertained. Cats are a special kind of pet and with my years of experience I’m beyond confident I can give them the environment needed to stay safe and healthy, and of course happy.
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds in my family since I was born. I’ve taken care of animals and helped watch and care for loved ones pets over the years. I’m currently a SAHM and looking for extra ways of generating income while doing things I love and things that are fulfilling! Very flexible and eager to help. Ready to help where is needed. I have many good references. I am trustworthy, kind, careful, communicative, and an all around animal lover! I can’t wait to meet yours.
About: I absolutely love dogs ! They truly are man’s best friend till the end. I have two dogs of my own , whom I love very much ! I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog walking and I am passionate about providing good care and excited to meet new pups! I fit pet care into my day/week routine because I have two dogs of my own. One is a pit bull and another is a boarder collie so to say they need care is an understatement. They have the upmost energy. I will play with them and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep. With that being said we walk, hike, run, go to the beach, play fetch , etc. as much as we can. I treat my puppies very kindly , if not they’re quite spoiled. 😉 I care very deeply about animals and I aim to help when I can !

“This was our first time using a sitter that was not a family member so we were a little nervous about the situation. But chatting with Hannah and relaying our concerns to her before the stay really eased our mind . During Rosie’s stay Hannah kept me posted on her activities and also provided several pictures. I could see that she was being well cared for . Her service provided us the opportunity to attend our grandsons wedding and we are extremely thankful. Rosie appeared to have enjoyed her adventure and meeting new friends . We would book with her again and highly recommended Hannah if you’re looking for a caring, kind and reliable sitter. Thank you Hannah -”

“We had a last minute change in our typical dog care. We came across Tessa and she is absolutely wonderful. They have a great large fenced property and right away I knew my doggos would be in a good space. She is great about sending updates and pictures, which was comforting in knowing they are well taken care of. Picked them up today and they are exhausted, which tells me they enjoyed their time. Will use them again.”

“Laura, Lawrence & Lilah took wonderful care of Bella. She had never stayed or been around other dogs. Bella and Lilah were friends right off. They sent me many pictures which made my vacation less stressful. Bella was very comfortable there, it showed in their pictures. I would give them a 5 plus 🌟”

About: Super experienced with pitbulls and puppies. Dogs are special friends who add a high level of joy to my heart ❤️ I say hi to all the dogs I pass on the street ☺️ I am a single parent with 50% custody and work part time so I have extra time for full time love for your dog family members ❤️ I live 2 minutes from a sweet dog walking area around a lake and I prioritize making sure the dog’s needs before leaving for the day!

“Alicia has been really great with Pinto. She's super friendly and very flexible with scheduling. Our pup can be a little timid with new people and she has been great with him gaining trust with her. He loves going on his walks and playing with Maggie. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!”

“I visited Eugene and needed some day care for my pups. Morgan is the first sitter I’ve felt totally comfortable leaving my dogs with in a long time. They both have their own unique personalities that require a watchful eye; Morgan was able to assure me they would be safe and upon meeting her I instantly knew they would be. She even went out of her way to help transport them at the end of day. Highly recommend Morgan (shoutout to her adorable dog Clover)!”

About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: I have been an animal lover since I was born! I grew up on a farm that included all farm animals; mainly horses, dogs, and cats. I’ve had many years of experience with training, and proper pet care! I currently work from home and I have plenty of time throughout the day for pet sitting! I’m available 24/7 I enjoy walks, and nature so I spend a lot of time outside. I have a large fenced yard, fit for animals. We have a loving friendly 7 year old hound dog named Copper. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood close to trails and parks.
About: I have had pets my whole life and have been caring for them at an early age. One of my first jobs was at a dog daycare facility that included boarding, house sitting and dog walking in our services. I have 5+ years experience in the veterinary field. I am familiar with all types of dog breeds and behaviors. I am a full time mom and a part time barista, but have fairly open days to add some walks or drop ins to my schedule. I have experience housesitting pets and following instructions that each pet parent leaves. I am comfortable feeding, handling, giving medication, picking up poop, basically anything that needs to be done to keep pet parents and pets happy!
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.
About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs in my house and I had pet frogs! I previously was a pet sitter for dogs, cats, and sometimes other critters. Afternoon/evening/overnights during the week, or weekends work best for me as I do work. My job is flexible with me being in and out of the office, so with a day notice I could potentially do mornings and mid days. I am very open to respecting what the pet owner ask of me. I will happily send cute pictures throughout the visit! I am comfortable asking clarifying questions.

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
