Muddy Paws has been awesome! Claire is great to work with, and my dog is always exhausted and happy after a walk/run with her. Whether it's dog walking, housesitting or more, I would not hesitate to recommend Muddy Paws!
Another trip out of town (December, 2018) - 5 days again. I've used Laura double-digit times now over the past couple years, and it's always a 5-star experience. Once again my Lab-Rottie mix "Coral" - this time with her new 'little sister', the 4-pound Papillon "Jazzie" - became part of Laura's home. Coral loves Laura, and went into the house eagerly. And when I returned, both were happy as clams and completely at home - and in love with Laura! As I've written before, Laura doesn't have a 9-5 job so she's home to do THIS job. And she does it like an owner would want it. Coral loves it, and I appreciate it!
Beyond pleased working with Jennifer A. She took such incredible care of our three Guinea pigs. I have very high standards when it comes to cage cleanliness and when I got back from a week long vacation, their cage was in better shape than when I’m the one cleaning it. She took exceptional note of all the little details, and on top of everything - when my flight was delayed, she confirmed that she could be there for them an extra day not 10 minutes after I messaged. I will absolutely be using muddy paws, and hopefully specifically Jennifer, for all my pet sitting needs in the future. Their app is seamless as was communication, and I got detailed updates and pictures every visit. 6/5 stars!
Laura is completely professional and trustworthy. She has taken care of my pups for years before moving to Eugene (I live in Austin) and was always 100% reliable. She sends texts and great photos and stays in constant communication. You can TOTALLY trust your beloved pet(s) with Muddy Paws/Laura Kesten. My pups were always calm and peaceful upon my return so I know they were given lots of Loving Care and Attention.
Laura and team are the Best! Working with Muddy Paws was a wonderful experience and very professional. We have a cat who is like our little baby and leaving her is usually a stressful experience for us. But Laura made it so easy for us to feel comforted with her followup with us while we were away. We were texted everyday and given a complete update. We highly recommend Muddy Paws to anyone and we will be using them from now on whenever we go out of town. Thanks again!
Well I called twice to get a time to watch my pup, i was gonna be in oregon at thend of werk and over the weekend, left a message and guess they did not want my business. So will not bother with them next time I am in the city there.
Laura and the wonderful pet sitters she works with are INCREDIBLE. She loves and values my dog, and I can see the care she has for all the pets she watches... she appreciates each of their individual personalities and preferences. She makes sure the animals that interact get along well with one another (doesn't allow aggressive or sick animals). She keeps them safe, feeds them according to their schedules, exercises them thoroughly. My dog always comes back from Muddy Paws tired and happy and safe, and I myself appreciate how responsive and helpful Laura is to me as well. I cannot recommend her and her group enough, for daycare and boarding and in-home care.
Thrilled with Laura, her excellent service, and truly every aspect of our experience with Muddy Paws! She not only took exceptional care of our beloved pets -Mau, 4 yr old tuxedo cat, and Dala, 9-month-old Chihuahua- she also provided extras like texted photos and videos of our sweet animals having fun and being loved on, came to the house for a free consultation, brought our garbage cans up from the street on garbage day, and just generally made us feel 100% comfortable that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Laura had everything covered at home.
Laura does a great job caring for our cat! I really appreciate that she sends photos of him during visits which helps us feel at ease. She's very easy to work with and reliable and has the best price to top it off.
I recently and somewhat unexpectedly adopted a puppy from a local humane society and needed someone to spend time with her while I was at work. Emma Jaramillo graciously and enthusiastically accepted the job and she was amazing! She worked with me to make sure Hazel was happy, less stressed and successfully transitioned from the humane society into my home. Emma was patient (mostly with me) and loving as she took care of Hazel. I can't say enough good things about her and Muddy Paws.
Wow! Rachel is incredible! My dogs love her as much as I do. She truly cares about taking care of animals. She takes our dogs on multiple walks while we are gone, plays with them, ensures they’re eating and drinking, and sends us photos because she knows how much we miss them when we are gone. You will not find a better pet sitter.
Rachel is a great pet sitter - reliable, honest, and really loves what she does. She's good with communication, and my two kitties love how she plays with them!
Rachel does an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! Our dogs love her. You can trust her to play with your dogs, give them lots of love and treat them like her own. She is so kind texting me photos of our happy pups while we’re away. She’s highly reliable and trustworthy. We have her stay at our home overnight when she cares for our dogs and we come home to our house in the same condition as when we left it. She’s truly amazing. We’ll use her services anytime we can’t take our babies with us.
Rachel is both my music teacher and pet sitter. Whenever I have music classes, my dogs are overjoyed to see her. When she's dog-sitting, I have complete peace of mind. She takes excellent care of my three senior dogs, adapting to their routines and ensuring they get their walks (and occasional medicine). If you're looking for a pet-sitting service with people who truly love animals, you've found it!
Rachel has been one of the best trust worthy animal loving sitters I ever known! The way she connects to all animals it’s like each one has their own connections to her! My dog aikido loves every time she comes to visit and take him for walks when I’m out of town! Any time she sends me a message with her voice in it he gets excited! Aikido said he trusts her and so I go with his word! She’s reliable, affordable and is very personable with each every type of animal she sees! Number 1 best pet sitter!
We are so relieved to have found our new pet sitter! Our two Goldens are a handful, but we know they are going to get the attention they need whenever we are away! We get photos every day, and we get updates via text as well. We highly recommend the Eugene Pet Sitter!!
Rachel is very responsible, and takes great care of the pets. Would recommend and trust her with them anytime!
Rachel watched my dog while I was out of town for the week. Super friendly and you can tell she really cares about animals!
Consistent, kind and convenient! What a relief eugene pet sitter has been!
