Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Our chihuahua-beagle mix rescue dog is a bundle of nerves. We’ve lived in Eugene for a decade and only found Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel last year. Our dog is always happy to arrive and in good spirits when we pick her up. Bonus: It’s near the airport, making trips easier.
Willamette Valley took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. It was the longest we have been away from our dogs. The staff was incredibly caring and sent photos while we were away. The pricing was also very reasonable. We would highly recommend Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel!
Great safe, trustworthy and clean place for your dog with consistently good service! We’ve been boarding our dog here for 2 to 3 years now. Our boy always comes back happy and clean. Last time we dropped our dog off, he couldn’t get in fast enough, ran straight in😆. …
Well cared for, walked and played with each day (costs a little extra - but the Nature Walk each day gave an active dog reprieve from the kennel, and much loved handling by humans). Lina and Sarah answering phone are reassuring and wonderful people to have one’s pet with. Just a great place for our dog, and we ended up leaving him longer than anticipated, which was no problem with the wonderful staff at Willamette Valley Dog and Cat Motel!! THANK YOU SO MUCH♥️
Great experience! My dog came home happy, clean and tired. We were able to set up his room and see the facility. Staff was so friendly and kind. We will definitely be back!
This place is fantastic! The staff were so helpful and patient with all our questions before the boarding, and all our changes during the boarding. Our dogs came out happy and calm after spending 6 days at the Motel. :) And they will board your cats as well!
Tug Boat is a 150+ lb. Bullmastiff who does not get excited about anything, other than his food. That is, until we boarded him at Willamette Valley Cat and Dog Motel. This is his second time being boarded, and as soon as we pulled up he immediately got excited when he realized where we were. Tug Boat now has TWO things in life that excite him: Food and being boarded at this kennel. The staff are excellent, the animals are well-loved and Tug Boat highly recommends it for your pet’s vacation destination!
First time leaving my dog here and I must say it was a pleasant experience overall. The staff is amazing and my dog was well taken care of. When I came to pick him up he didn’t seem like he wanted to leave; I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to board their pet.
Wonderful caring staff and clean facilities 👍 Military discount was a nice bonus and prices extremely reasonable. Was sent photos and updates during Lafayette's stay. They accommodated my dog's obsession with daily laser light zoomies which helped keep him happy and in good physical shape while I was over seas for a few weeks. Highly recommend!
Our experiences with Willamette Valley Motel have always gone well. I love that our dogs get to share a space and with room to move about. The facility is always clean and organized, the faculty is kind and communicative, and the prices are some of the best in town. It can be a bit stressful leaving your pets, but I have grown to have piece of mind leaving them with WVDCM when they can't come with us on our trips.
I started using West Eugene Kennels over a decade ago and always recommend them to anyone who kennels a dog. The team there has cared for 4 of our dogs in the past to include our two current fur babies. The dogs are so happy when there, they get to play with new friends and be outside to play as much as they want. The staff, especially the owner, are great and they love the girls too. While we do not use them as much as we have in the past because we are fortunate to have a close friend who will house and dog sit when available, but if she is not able too, there is no hesitation, a call goes out to West Eugene Kennel. One other side note, we have never heard no. We went through a tragic time in 2016 where we needed a kennel immediately so we could get to my father before he passed. They took the dogs with no problems and did not care how long they stayed, they were more worried about my wife and I and making sure we got to my father. This group is truly part of our family as far as our precious girls are concerned!! Thank all of you for making an awesome place for the girls!!
My 2 dogs love dog camp! They are rambunctious and can be a little crazy- but the staff here handle them with ease. I enjoy that they have various play groups and the dogs go in and out all day to play with friends or chill. I recommend this place!
Fast friendly service. Take good care of my dog. I don't worry about my dog with them. Gracie has a good time and I have a good time away from her lol and also given military discount
I am not a fan of the gentleman who just spoke with me over the phone concerning price. His tone and response made him seem almost offended when I asked if $40 per dog ($36 per dog since I have 2) per day was correct from the website. His statement regarded other kennels charging less as unprofessional. The kennel I currently use has top reviews and competitive pricing. Just amazing with my dogs, but too far away since I moved to the area. I just wanted to speak with a kennel (referred by a neighbor) closer to home to make my 10-12 overnight trips per month for work easier. Plus, look at these amazing, positive reviews. Instead, I left the conversation uneasy on the shortage of customer service/sales etiquette I received. Enough feeling about it to call for my own review. I’m sure this is a fine facility, but for 1/4 more (even double) what most other facilities charge, pushing qualified customers away with such an ugly attitude is unfortunate. As soon as he believed the price may be too high for me, he wanted off that phone call. Perhaps a chat about what makes your service “more professional” or better than others would have been a better tactic. I would have listened and considered the advice to make my decision.
We have had our dog there twice recently. I feel she was well cared for,especially with her special needs. Would recommend this kennel to anyone looking for a safe environment to board their dog.
We've left our girl here twice now, and she loves it! Plenty of outside time and playtime with other dogs, lots of chickens and ducks outside the fence to watch. The workers all knew her name and were very kind. This is what she looked like right after pick up after a 3 day stay! :D
I LOVE this place. Heidi and her crew make sure not only my dog is well cared for, but that I am kept in the loop too (anxious dog mom,here!) They send my pictures over text by request, and post photos on their facebook, too. What I love most about this place is the unpretentious attitude the staff has. No question is "too stupid" and no request "too much". I love that they have social play time with other dogs, as my dog loves to play with others! All the play areas are huge and are super secure with tall chain link fences and double lockout features. All in all, I love this place, and so does Mimsi. I find the price completely fair- as it is all inclusive instead of "a la carte" that some other kennels charge.
My dogs have stayed at this kennel several times. The owner is really flexible with drop off and pick up times. He remembers information about my dogs, as well as specific requests for them. Our dogs are always happy when we pick them up. We've been really pleased with the care the our dogs have received while being boarded.
They are an awesome place to leave your dogs if you need a loving caring place for daycare or overnight care. They take care of my boys when we go camping because they need socializing. Great prices and discounts for more than 1. Terry is the owner. Awesome guy!
The only place I trust to care for my Pepito. This place is perfect.
I have a reactive dog who doesn’t like strangers crowding him or trying to handle him and Klassic Tails did a great job with him! They gave him plenty of space and didn’t push him past his comfort level and asked a ton of great questions so they would know how to work with him safely. I was extremely nervous leaving him but they were so comforting and helpful when I would email to check in on him. The staff was so sweet and did such a good job. If you have a human selective pup I would definitely recommend trying Klassic Tails! Bonus- he smelled weirdly good when I picked him up and is now completely knocked out on the couch haha
We just want to thank everyone at Klassic Tails for taking such good care of our little boy, Winston. He absolutely loves staying with you. I strongly recommend Klassic Tails to anyone who wants the best care for their pets.
They are awesome, my dogs love it there. I moved away but will continue to drive the 2.5 hours to board my pups with Jim and crew.
We have taken our furry kids to Klassic Tales twice. I am incredibly picky since two of our other dogs had a bad experiences with sitting that left them with Addison's and a fear of large dogs. The owners and staff have been nothing short of amazing. On their most recent stay, there was an ice storm. We were on a trip and I was worried about the kennel losing power and the dogs being in freezing weather. I tried calling at 11:00 pm and no one answered, which didn't surprise me since it was so late, so I sent an e-mail message, and I believe it was Reed (hope I got his name right) who responded and assured me that all was well and they had power. That message allowed me to sleep that night! When they did lose power, Liz notified me with her personal cell phone since they couldn't call on the land lines. Maggie stayed late in order for us to pick up our dogs when we finally got back to Eugene. They are always excellent with communications. Before I decided to board the dogs here, I quizzed Jim quite a bit and he answered everything perfectly. They are proactive in everything they do, and Jim gave me a lot of information on the dog respiratory illness when I was concerned about that, and he told me how they put in air cleaners and asked dog parents to keep their dogs away from other dogs 14 days prior to boarding with them. I feel good that they are doing everything possible to keep Enzo and Gracie happy and safe.
Jim and his team are top notch!!! Our babies will not stay anywhere but here. I'm so thankful that we chose Klassic Tails for our girls vacation. They sent a video while we were away and a card when we got home and pictures of bathtime. You can assure they will keep your babies safe, as well as, your mind at ease. Thank you KTI for being the best around!!!
I am very picky when it comes to who watches my pets, and I completely trust the team at Klassic Tails! My dogs actually look forward to going here (they start freaking out when we pull into the driveway) and my cat acts like it’s her second home. I recently took my younger cat here as well, and it was his first time going anywhere besides the vet, and he did so well. He was extremely calm when I picked him up. They will also let me know if my dogs seem anxious, and offer to do a couple play sessions to reduce anxiety if it’s going to be a longer stay. Another bonus is that Veneta Veterinary Hospital is 10 minutes away, and I know that the team would take my pets to the vet if anything were to happen! I can not recommend this kennel enough, the team is amazing! I am so thankful to everyone that works here ❤️
Fantastic staff really care about our boy Cal, who can be quite a handful. Super flexible when plans change. Great communication skills!
Being retired and having two wonderful Australian Labradoodles, my wife and I rarely leave them. Sadly at our age we still have aging parent, new Grandchildren and friends we must visit! We are so attached that we searched for the BEST facility for our dogs. We found and have used Klassic Tails Inn near Elmira, Oregon. Our fur babies enjoy their time there, get 2 hour walks daily and have outdoor spaces that allows them to play with each other just like home. The Staff is friendly, efficient and security minded. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!!!!
The proprietors made Aloe feel like he was at home! He has never come home happier, thanks Klassic Tails.
Klassic Tails Inn kept our two pups for a week and there is honestly no where else we'd let them stay. We will most definitely be back. They sent us a video of them playing, we were able to call and check on them. It isn't a normal kennel where they have to stay behind a cage the entire time they are well carried for and have plenty of play time!! It is very decently priced with great service!! 10 stars!! Thanks again for taking care of our babies!!
We were so nervous to leave our pup for the first time. We were gone for five days and Rooster came back happy and healthy and in good spirits. We couldn’t be happier with the treatment he received at orchard point. They were very patient with us as we asked for a ton of photos and updates, and our pup was able to run and play and snuggle with all the trainers. Great experience. Serious peace of mind for our family! Now we feel we can go on vacation worry-free, will 💯 be boarding with them next time. Thanks guys!
We are so happy with our experience with OPK! It was our first time leaving our 4 month old high energy puppy so we were nervous but he came home happy and healthy. We loved how often they sent pictures and videos throughout his stay and it was clear they took good care of him!
This was Hoss's first time here while we went on vacation...it was so nice to know he was in good hands! The app to communicate with staff is wonderful and they also sent update photos for all of his adventures! Hoss will be back!! He loved it!
I can’t thank the team enough at Orchard point kennels. Our puppy hula is absolutely treated like royalty and you can tell everyone at the facility loves animals. For hula this is a home away from home and anytime I take her or anytime I pick her up. She’s always so happy. Thank you for always taking care of her. Highly recommend.
Orchard Point has taken such good care of our two dogs, Max and Stella each time we have left them in their care. We have boarded them for a weekend and also dropped them off for day visits. The pups really enjoy spending time there, and we appreciated the photos and updates when they were there overnight.
My pit mixes Scooby and Nilla go here for training, and Ryan our trainer is just the best. He took time during our evaluation to get to know the full dynamic of our dogs and situation. We had our first lesson yesterday for Scooby and it went so well scooby got set up on the E-collar and we are starting our journey. Scooby has worked with over 4 different trainers in Texas and one here at a different facility unrelated to Orchard point Kennel. All that to add stats behind the statement that scooby is not an easy dog to work with. Ryan is the best we have worked with. Orchard point kennels is the best we have worked with.
Just picked our boy up today after his first time staying in pet lodging and he came back in high spirits and being his goofy self! Just booked his next stay. Featuring photos they sent us!
Douglas (my dog) and I are huge fans of OPK’s Barks and Rec! I’m very protective and particular about who I’m willing to leave Douglas with and this place exceeds even my highest expectations. All of the handlers are knowledgeable, experienced, and have an apparent and sincere adoration for the dogs there. They’re intentional about the playgroups they put him in and closely monitor them, which means that he can have consistently positive experiences and I can move through my day knowing that he is safe, attended to, and having a blast (evidenced in part by the very cute pictures they send me and his determination to stay there when it’s time to go home). Perhaps one of the best qualities of OPK– in addition to the way they love Douglas deeply – is that they don’t let him get away with bad manners! We are still in our early days of training so it’s important to me that the rules they expect him to follow are consistent with the rules I expect him to follow at home and they deliver. If I could dream up a perfect daycare, this would be it. And if you’re still not convinced that OPK is a special place, just spend any amount of time talking with the people there. A+ 1000/10
I am so happy to have found Barks And Rec to take my dog to for exercise and socialization. I rescued my dog Toby four years ago at about six months of age. As we both got older, he became more and more difficult for me to handle. My family was concerned he would knock me down and that I could break a hip. I did some research and found Mandy and Ryan. They had a boot camp for dog training and also a dog rescue for unwanted dogs! Their whole family was dedicated to bettering the lives of unfortunate dogs. ❤️ So off went Toby to bootcamp at age 3. His training was a success, he came home knowing what to do and how to listen, but I was not able to give Toby the exercise and socializing he needed. He became more anxious with a nervous energy over time. The time came that Toby and I had to move so to make it easier for all concerned, Toby went to board with Mandy and Ryan. That’s when I found out that they were opening Barks and Rec and expanding their dog boarding and daycare at Orchard Pointe Kennel just outside of Eugene. Toby now goes to daycare 3 days a week. He loves it so much. Just after a couple of months he is a different dog already. He’s calmer, and doesn’t seem anxious anymore. Toby and I are so blessed to have found Mandy, Ryan and family, and those that help run Barks and Rec. When we pull into Barks and Rec and as soon as Ryan takes him out of the car, Toby is so happy. As they walk away, Toby calmly walks by Ryan’s side and looks up at Ryan with his tail up and loosely wagging and never looks back…..
Recently I took a job that requires long hours, my heart was breaking thinking about my sweet Lilith home alone, no activity or interactions. When I first started the search for puppy daycare we went to a location down town, she was not qualified for their program, they explained she did not like to go into a crate and her size was a little intimidating. She is a large breed dog, that carries a bad reputation (Rottweiler). I was afraid she would not qualify for any puppy day care program, then we found OPK. Ryan, Mandy, and Jonah have been great, answering all of my questions, putting me at ease, and letting me know that Lilith will be well taken care of. Lilith has only been going to OPK for a short time, the first time she was hesitant when I dropped her off, now she gets so excited, she is always so prancing around when Ryan takes her in the mornings. I could not ask for better care for my pup, the location is beautiful, the staff is fantastic, and I know Lilith is living her best life while she is there.
Linda is super polite and welcoming. The setup is impressive, organized, and clean. I felt really at ease leaving my kitty here. He stayed for 12 days. They have an entire room to themselves and you have the option to have an available catio for ur kitty as well. I would definitely use Linda's services again and absolutely recommend taking your fur baby here for boarding. Seriously though, you won't regret it. 🥰
Very nice. Cat did well and they have catios for the cats. Kinda is a very sweet kind lady. It’s out in the country but close to north Eugene and very peaceful for the kitties with birds to watch.
Love it that my cats can be outdoors all day if they want to. Linda takes good care of our Rockefeller and Juniper
Linda and Shawn took really good care of our cat! They were very friendly and so accommodating even though I had scheduling issues. Inn is clean and the cats have their own indoor and outdoor spaces! My worries were at ease knowing that our cat is in good hands with them. Highly recommend them!
Absolutely love Linda's. Each cat has its own cat run with different level perches outside and lots more inside. Every one has a window for bad weather days. It's the only place I take my cat when I need to board him.
Linda took wonderful care of our cats, and her love for animals shows. The facilities were spacious, with lots of safe and controlled access to the outdoors. Will gladly board our buddies here again in the future.
This place is awesome! Linda is a sweetheart and their set up is great for cats! It’s super affordable compared to other pet inns and super convenient since its close to the airport as well! Been there 4 x and will continue to !
My cats are always well take care and that gives me peace of mind
Linda is kind and really cares about the cats. Her prices are surprisingly low so tip her well.
Linda is the best and I wouldn't take my cat anywhere else
