Dog Sitting Veneta

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.

About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve been trusted with taking care of my family and friends’ pets since I was twelve. One of my cats is older than me and has been with me my entire life, so I know very well how to take care of elderly and disabled animals, especially cats. I’ve also taken care of multiple very energetic dogs and I know how to handle their behavior. I’m very open to long play sessions or walks, but if a calm presence is what your pet needs, I am very good at providing that as well. I’m very adaptable. Whatever your pet needs, I am more than willing to do my best to give it. I’m a college student who is busy every afternoon but most mornings and almost every evening and night I am fully available for your pet. I’m completely free on the weekends as well. Understanding the signals pets use to communicate is one of the most important things to me. I value your pet’s safety and to me it is very important to know what they’re trying to say in times of crisis. I also am conscious of things in homes that may be harmful to pets, such as certain herbs, scents, or foods, and I go out of my way to ensure that pets do not make contact with anything that could be dangerous to them. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I want them to be met and for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me and the environment.

About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.

“Julie did great! Max loved the walks and the ball tosses. Sasha is 16 and has trouble walking, taking her medicine and sometimes has accidents and Julie took good care of her, took her for short walks, got her to take her pills most of the time.”

“Sandra was a great fit for cat, Daisy! From our first meet and greet, to all of the daily updates, I felt comforted in leaving our pet in Sandra’s care. She spent time getting to know our cat and Daisy warmed up to her better than any sitter we’ve had before! I will definitely be asking Sandra for help in the future.”

About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️). Looking forward to taking care of your kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have availability nightly, and would love to be a help for your pets! I always ensure your pets are safe, secure, and happy when taking care of them. I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have cared for them through every stage of life. I raised both of my dogs from puppies. One lived to be 18, and the other was with me for 15 years. I also raised a cat from a kitten who lived to be 16 and adopted an adult cat who stayed with me well into her senior years. Caring for my own pets from their earliest days through their senior years gave me experience with everything from puppy and kitten care, to medications, mobility changes, and noticing the little things that can make a big difference in their comfort and quality of life. Friends and family have always counted on me to care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and medical needs. I know every pet is different, and my goal is to help yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday (8-5), but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer several services throughout the week. Dog walks: My favorite service! Available most weekdays early before work, during lunch (for nearby clients), and after work. I’m also available for walks throughout most weekends. House sitting: I have the most flexibility on weekends, but I can also be available for house sitting during the week with advance notice. If you have reliable Wi-Fi and are comfortable with it, I’m able to work remotely from your home so your pet can enjoy extra company while staying in their normal routine. Drop-in visits: Available during weekday lunch breaks for nearby clients, as well as on weekends. If you’re unsure whether your schedule will work with mine, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to see if we can make it work! I believe pets are happiest in their own home, where they can keep their normal routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’ll care for your pet and your home with the same respect and attention I’d give my own.

“First time having Alyssa drop in for my fur kids….she is fantastic!!!! Will definitely be requesting her services again!!”

About: I have had experience with animals since I was 8, I currently have a Great Dane/Pyrenees mix and a tabby kitty. I love them all! I work nights until 12 am, so if I am staying at your house or watching them, I will spend a lot of time with them! I enjoy spending time with your pup/cat and I will care for them as if they are my own pet! I have been pet sitting for a while, so I love every animal.

“Schedule was flexible, was attentive and did a good job looking after my pet.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!

“We loved Ada. She was responsive, communicative, and managed to bond with our sometimes shy cat within a few days. We will definitely be working with her again.”

About: I grew up having multiple dogs at the same time so I am very comfortable around dogs of all kinds. I have a 3 yo, 80 lb Irish wolfhound mix named Cornelius who is the light of my life, so I am experienced in taking care of big dogs that need a lot of exercise and attention. I am flexible with my schedule and my main priority is to give you and your doggo the best experience possible. I love taking care of people and animals in general, which is why I worked as a caregiver for 3 years. I feel that I am a natural caregiver and that this translates into being a great dog-sitter and dog-owner myself. I look forward to getting to know you and yours!

About: About Me Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve had dogs my entire life and quite frankly, I can’t imagine a home without them. I love them so much that if your pup is used to sleeping on the bed, I am more than happy to end up in a giant pile of dog cuddles at night! Of course, if they have strict kennel rules or sleep in their own space, I am incredibly respectful of maintaining your structure and boundaries. My Specialized Experience & Training Philosophy I don’t just watch "easy" dogs—I am deeply confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds and complex behavioral needs. My own rescue is an 80lb powerhouse who is highly reactive toward other animals, especially on walks. Navigating her world means I know exactly how to manage a strong dog under pressure, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings, and maintain absolute control to keep everyone safe. Because of my years spent training my own dog, I am highly comfortable working with a variety of training tools and structures. I am experienced with and confident utilizing prong collars and e-collars (shock collars) if your dog's current training regimen requires them. I firmly believe in consistency, so whatever rules, tools, or boundaries you have established at home are exactly what I will enforce while you're away. What I Offer Whether your dog needs a calm, highly structured environment, a patient handler who can handle a chaotic walk, or just a dedicated companion to watch scary movies with them on the couch, I’ve got you covered. Your pup’s safety, mental peace, and routine are my absolute highest priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working full time as a mental health/drug and alcohol counselor. My schedule varies - I have weekends off and am typically available all day all night Friday - Saturdays, Sundays I have some home stuff/grocery shopping to take care of but will be able to drop in for visits or even stay some Sunday nights. My job is pretty self paced and mostly remote so I am able to adjust my schedule around my clients. If you're looking for someone who is highly organized and completely unflappable, my background is a perfect fit. I was a full-time nanny for years, successfully managing three young kids alongside all the household cooking, cleaning, and laundry. That experience gave me sharp common sense, an ability to learn complex routines quickly, and a deep respect for house rules. Whether your pets have a meticulous schedule or your home requires extra care, I can seamlessly jump right in—and I’ll gladly help keep the house clean and tidy while I'm there

About: I strive to be as reliable as a person can be and trustworthy in all my life. I have experience with a local Veterinarian and I am knowledgeable about pet care. I am extremely comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats, experienced working with little tiny dogs and large dogs of all ages, and I've even working with the local K9 Unit. I love helping people and pets in a stress free environment for both Owner and Pet. Please consider me for caring for your pets. I also love caring for rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and cattle if needed. Please call or email me anytime. I am available weekdays and weekends. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my services. I own and run my own business so I have that schedule built around my dogs schedules. All my animals have a daily care refuting and I am home a lot. I follow instructions that I always request from clients. Making sure I have the information I need to have a safe booking. I also like to make them their own safe area in my home. If they are at their own home they already have their comfort area.

About: Growing up I’ve always been around multiple cats and dogs, I have always treated them as if they were my own children even though most of them weren’t. I have plenty of time to spend with your babies to make sure they feel special and safe while they are away from their parents. I have 2 cats who are very shy and most likely will hide from your babies until they get comfortable. I take my cats on a walk across the street to the park 2 times a day because they looove being outside. I will do any and everything needed to keep your babies cared for.

About: I have three beautiful cats at home that are super energetic and snuggly! My family had cats while I was in high school and I love being around all animals! Just moved to Eugene from Tennessee and currently have open availability! I’m an early riser so if you need a dog walked in the morning, I’ve got you! I have a car and am willing to walk or bus as well! Our house is plentiful of cat trees, window perches and tunnels! We give them fresh food and water every day and they all get individualized attention! I will do the exact same for your pets!

“Olivia did a great job caring for our two cats for a week . She followed our directions well and contacted us daily with photos and an update about their behavior. We would definitely hire her again, and our shy kitty LuciPurr agrees.”

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.
