Pet Sitting West University

“I needed someone to watch my dog while she recovered from an injury and Natasha was a great help. She made sure Melon was leaving her stitches alone while giving her lots of love and attention. I would recommend Natasha to anyone who needs pet care and will definitely ask for her help if we need it again.”

“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”

“Amy was very thorough and reliable, and I felt like our cat was in good hands while I was away for the day! The 'meet and greet' a few days before was very nice as well. Thank you Amy!”

“Rosa is a wonderful and caring person. She is very intuitive and instantly gained trust from my cats. She successfully delivered fluids to my kitty with kidney disease and provided me with updates. I would definitely rebook with Rosa.”

“Rachel was communicative and timely! Followed all the instructions that were left and my babies were happy!”

About: I have always had an affinity for animals, and have always had them in my life. My first dog was a keeshound mix named Katrinka, since then I have had a wide variety of animal friends, from ferrets to horses. As an adult I worked as a vet tech and organic dog treat baker These days I am a working artist and have fewer animals, in the interest of being able to travel and create. Pet sitting allows me to enjoy the company of a wide variety of animals, without the long term commitment. In addition to pet sitting in your home, I am available for daily drop-in visits to get your pup out for a run, change litter boxes + water, or just give them some company while you are at work.

“Skyla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days while I was away. She was reliable, always responded quickly to my texts and check-ins, and handled everything professionally. It was nice knowing my cat was in good hands. I loved the photos she sent. I'd absolutely hire her again!”

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.

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

About: I've grown up around and cared for all sorts of animals all my life, especially dogs and cats. I've been dog sitting specifically for around 2 years, including caring for elderly dogs with strict needs/ medical issues, and anxious dogs. Despite mostly sitting for dogs at this point I'm also well versed with cats (having one of my own). I am a full-time college student, so while that takes up some time I am free Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's anytime after 2 and fully on the weekends. I make sure to follow their needs closely, keeping them on schedule with feeding, medications if necessary, etc. If an animal needs lots of interaction I make sure to give them as much attention as they want and if they don't then I make sure they're given the space they need. The individual animals care it of utmost importance and I make sure to individualize my care based on what each specific animal needs :)

About: I've cared for animals since childhood, looking after pets for both friends and family. I grew up with dogs and have lived with roommates who owned both cats and dogs, often caring for their pets while they were away. Additionally, I've provided regular care for large-breed dogs, including a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Newfoundland. These experiences have prepared me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, so I am able to work in dog walks and/or other pet care into my schedule every day of the week. I will always take the upmost care with every pet entrusted to me. I follow instructions precisely and always prioritize each animal's safety. My goal is to make every animal feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

About: Twenty plus years of fun taking care of cats, dogs of different breeds, temperaments, ages, and sizes, and even some chickens, a rabbit, hamster, rat, and fish. Completed Rover's safety dog video. Grew up with dogs. My energy level is low-key and calm. Regular text updates and photos sent. Experience in playing tug of war, throwing the ball, and taking Fido for walks. FYI- Listed cost for overnight dog care (pet sitters get a little less that what you see listed). My availability is wide open except for Sunday morning commitments, taking some time at my place each day, and looking for a regular job with benefits. I care for your pets in your home, giving them attention and love. I give them the time to get used to me & make sure they are content. Making sure they are safe and having fun is important to me.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and I’m excited to meet yours! I am very experienced with reactive and senior dogs and understand that each dog is different and has individual needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions for care to ensure they are getting exactly what they need. I have worked with many rescues and currently work with NW Dog Project, so I’m well versed in all things dog. :) I take your trust in me seriously as I know how important our dogs are to us and I look forward to helping with their care. I am a self employed Massage Therapist so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I have mostly open availability on weekends and am available in the morning and evening on week days. It is possible I am available throughout the day if given enough notice. I will follow your lead on rules regarding walking your dog or drop-in visits- and will always respect your home and keep your dog safe and protected on walks!

About: Hello I’m Griffin, I moved to Eugene last September to accept a job with a local nonprofit. I absolutely love dogs, to the point where my entire social media algorithm just presents me with puppy videos (all dogs are puppies to me.) I grew up with dogs, specifically Labradors, Cairn terriers and a Yorkie. When I was in Peace Corps in Ukraine, I had adopted a street dog and named him Dantinos. Sadly due to pandemic I was unable to bring my buddy back. There’s a big dog shaped hole in my heart. So, I decided to give this a try. My nonprofit job, while rewarding and interesting, isn’t cutting it for the cost of living today. I work full time but have remote work flexibility and live within a few minutes walking distance from my place of work- so whether it’s boarding or drop-ins, or walks, there’s a great opportunity to make it work. I would love to meet and pet and give your puppy some scratches if you’ll have me. I’ve got 35 years experience because I’ve grown with dogs all my life; and while I am not able to care for my own right now, taking a stroll with your puppy might be a win win win situation. I work full time, but have remote work flexibility and given a day or two in advance could likely block off some time to visit or walk a pet. Especially after lunch, when scheduled meetings are less frequent. When it comes to boarding- my work is literally a 5-8 min walk from my apartment- so even if I need to be in the office, coming back for potty breaks are not a problem. Fridays are generally half days, giving a little more flexibility I care for dogs by giving them love and affection when they want it. I’ve got a weakness for giving a dog treats with those pleading eyes, but I promise that I would never feed another persons dog anything not allowed, and certainly know to avoid over feeding. Eugene is a beautiful place and I think it would be a pleasure to take a stroll with your dog.

“Amy was amazing with our senior dog! She was so gentle, patient, and understanding. As a professional, Amy excels as well. She stayed in communication with us, took pictures or video, and was always on time. Our dog has some special needs and medications, and Amy made sure that everything was done just right. Amy is a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Heather has done drop-ins for our dog Hachi (180 lb Great Dane), and has always been great. We feel comfortable with her coming by our apartment and making sure he gets a potty break and has food/water available. Heather has also been flexible with last minute changes and requests, which is something that’s extremely helpful when things don’t always go according to plan. I am leaving this review after our second booking, but I know we’ll be reaching out again for future drop-ins. We’re very pleased with her services and recommend her! Thank you Heather.”

About: I have experience with all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to seniors with higher needs. I’ll always make sure every dog receives all the puppy love they deserve, whether that’s trail-running, daily walks, or a little extra playtime! With me being a student at OSU-Cascades, I have more free time than most, ensuring your pup gets all the care while you’re away 😊 Im a full-time Environmental Science student at OSU-Cascades with plenty of gaps to fill my schedule. This means flexible work and lots of available hours! I’m free pretty much any time, any day :) While my current living space is not suited for dogs, I will always acknowledge that your house is YOUR space and will do my absolute best to keep it better than how I found it. I have dog-sat throughout many places in Central Oregon and should you need a reference, I got you covered. I’m here for the pup and the pup only 😊

“Whitney was awesome and followed directions perfectly, even after I had to change it up because the cats were fighting the night before I left. Her communication was great and she asked thoughtful questions. The cats were happy and healthy when I returned.”

Heidi H.

“Me and my poodle had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She was super adaptable, met with us beforehand which gave me peace of mind, and kept me updated at every check in. She made being out of town less stressful and I felt confident my little son🐩 was well cared for 😊 thank you!”

“We are soo glad we chose Katelyn to take care of our 4 cats while my husband and I traveled for a wedding! She was incredibly easy to get ahold of and always sent pictures and updates. She always came by promptly and made sure one of our cats took her medicine”
