“Cecilia has a great house and yard that my dog enjoyed even during the meet and greet. My boy was happy when I got him back and wanted to go play some more so I'm assuming he had a great time. Thank you!”

Chex M.

“Tori was amazing! She took on my pups at the last minute due to my scheduled sitter canceling last minute. She was amazing with them and sent so many adorable pics to give me peace of mind that they were happy and content. Both my pups LOVED her pup! They were so happy to have a friend for the weekend. Will definitely rebook, with plenty of notice this time😉 Thanks again Tori!!”

“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”

Ashton R.

“Jennifer and Josh were tremendous, I cannot thank them enough! They continuously kept in touch with pictures throughout our doggy’s whole stay, giving us peace of mind while we were away. And from the pictures we could tell our furry friend was very happy and comfortable. We will stay in touch!”

Cody D.

“Took great care of our dog and puppy while we were away. Got updates and pictures every day. It was nice to know they were in good hands while we were gone.”

“Mari and Steve and family are marvelous! Our pups love visiting them, and we feel so lucky that they have a safe and loving place to be while we are gone.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them has become my lifelong passion. For the past five years, I’ve run my own professional pet-care business, building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, reliability, and genuine love for their pets. At Gentle Paws Home Care, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll enjoy gentle routines, quiet walks, soft places to rest, and plenty of affection. For dogs who need a little more activity, I also offer my signature adventure walks—hour-and-a-half off-leash excursions that let your pup explore, play, and connect with nature in a balanced, mindful way. My references reflect the consistency, compassion, and professionalism I bring to every animal I care for. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I’ve learned how to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re people with their own unique personalities, and I take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I run volunteer groups at Zumwalt park and take a lot of pride in our doggy community there. In my home, pets are truly part of the family. I’m with them the entire time, so they’re never left feeling lonely. I have plenty of cozy dog beds throughout the house, and if your pup prefers, they’re always welcome to snuggle up in my bed at night. We enjoy two large walks a day (and often a third smaller evening stroll), along with snacks, games, and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged. When I provide care in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the routine and schedule you’ve set. I know how important consistency is, so I keep things as normal and comfortable as possible while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.

“Our dog had a great stay with Julie during the World Championship track meet. He is an active, older border collie who needs a little extra attention, and Julie was very sensitive to his needs and quirks! She kept him busy and happy, and kept us updated with nice photos everyday. We could see that Julie is kind and gentle with animals, and very knowledgeable about dogs and their various personalities. We highly recommend her, and if we are back in the Eugene area, will happily have her care for our dog again. Thank you Julie!”

“Bivvy looked so happy playing with sweet Sophie the host dog. She came home from her day/overnight with Valerie and Sophie very happy and with the sweetest vibe. Thank you so much, Valerie. You’re the best!”

Zoë S.

“Griffin is gentle, soft-spoken, and was sweet and patient with our timid little dog. We really appreciated that he sent us photos during our dog’s stay, which was reassuring that she had settled in and looked plenty comfortable. Although he lives in an upstairs apartment with a balcony, he took our dog out regularly, several times a day. He was conscientious, and communicated well.”

Holley G.

“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”

Jack R.

“10 stars! Elizabeth has a great love for dogs. Mochi was in the best care with her. She took him in like he was her own. She made sure he had so much fun with so many outings, doggy play dates, and snuggles. She had great communication throughout. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

Laurel V.

“Journey was great with my Noobie boy! He seemed like he really enjoyed being there and she sent me a lot of glamour shots 😂 would definitely book again!!”

Kaylani W.

“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”

About: I've taken care of animals for 15+ years. Weather it was my own animal or a friend or families I was always there to give potty breaks and train them on proper care. I also train dogs and have many years of experience training dogs to do various commands such as sit, down, roll over, and crate training. This will be my full time job so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend. I do have a dog and cat of my own but they are great around other dogs. I live in an apartment in the middle of campus. There is unfortunately no backyard but I ensure that your dog will get many walks and potty breaks and playtime.

About: I love dogs, and can't wait to meet yours! I will closely follow your instructions to provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog. I'm willing to work with you and your schedule. I'm a firm believer in the power of clear communication and honesty. You can expect regular updates, lots of love, attention, and with permission, a moderate amount of treats. My fenced yard is sufficient for pee breaks and I'm in a great location to walk over to local parks for number twos and exercise. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your dog! I'm looking forward to spending my days off with your dog! I'm especially interested in long walks with chill dogs. Always positively reinforcing good behavior with praise, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard. I'm willing to spend lots of time with your dog, doing whatever it is they love to do. My availability is my weekends so that dogs in my care will not be left alone.

“Derrick was very kind and responsive to questions! Provided daily updates (even some fun videos included) and Nova was always shown playing with many other active doggos.”

Mary L.

“Seemed to be very caring with our dog and stayed in touch with us. Baxter came home and seemed happy and ready to crawl into his favorite space and take a long nap.”

About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.
