Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $19/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
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.
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.
I cannot adequately describe how happy my dog is at Laura's! She is a true animal lover and I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful person to care for my dog when I am out of town. I would give Muddy Paws more stars if possible!
We’ve left our cats here twice! They do an amazing job and always send updates with photos of the cats. One time, our kitten was fresh out of an emergency surgery and they were able to last-minute plan a space for him where he couldn’t climb and rip stitches. I was SO impressed with them!
Kitty Cat Hotel was such an amazing find for us and our cat, Sammy! They were so accommodating even when we had to make a last minute booking. They sent us pictures of our cat during her stay and were so kind in all of our communications with them. When we arrived, our furry girl was relaxed and well taken care of. Would recommend! :)
The best boarding care you can get for your cat. I boarded my cat here for 2 weeks she was treated with loving care. The unit she stayed in was large very roomy. They let her out periodically to a play area. They sent me pictures of her so I see she was doing well. They are great at communicating. I could tell she was happy and had a great time. When she came home.
Trish is top notch in kitty sitting! My kitty was well taken care of and loved while he was a visitor. Trish texted me a photo and updates when I asked, too. It’s so nice to go away knowing that my kitty guy is in such great hands! I highly recommend Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel.
I'm a first time pet mom to a one year old kitten. He and I are extremely bonded and I was incredibly nervous to leave him for the entire month of winter break. Trish was so wonderful and sent me regular updates, and he was cared for beautifully. This is now my go - to shelter when I have to leave town.
The place was great. Appeared clean and well set up. My cat had never been boarded before so I was really nervous about leaving him. I received a few pictures throughout the week and updates which appreciated. When I picked him up the process was easy and he transitioned back home better than expected. All in all a positive experience.
We were nervous about boarding our senior cat for the first time. The people here were kind enough to send a couple of text updates about how our cat was doing while we were out. Price was very reasonable and the enclosures were much nicer than the metal cages with towels that some of the other boarding places were using. If we ever need to board our cat again this will be my first stop.
Kitty Cat Hotel was a blessing to have available when my pet sitter was unavailabile at the last minute before my 2 week vacation. Trish was kind and trustworthy and put my mind at ease knowing my Nolly was is in great hands. The hotel is very clean and even my ultra sensitive nose couldn't detect cat odors in the kitty cottage. Very cute little set up with perfect accommodations. The rate was reasonable and I know that my cat was in great care while I was away. 10/10 recommend!
Trish at the Kitty Cat Hotel takes such good care of our 2 kitty's. It is such a relief to leave them with her where they have a nice room of their own with a window, and ledges to jump to, their own potty box, and food dishes. It is a great relief to know your fur babies are safe with her. A fare price as well.
This place is AMAZING! We felt really comfortable leaving our cat with her. As soon as we walked in we instantly felt at ease. The hotel is very well maintained, has great facilities and Trish is awesome and very friendly. She even sent us updates and photos while we were on our trip. 10/10 Highly recommended!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Luck Dog Daycare! My puppy has only gone for her half-day trial and her first full day, but it’s already clear how much she loves it. She gets so excited the moment we pull into the parking lot, which says a lot! The staff has been wonderful and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with them. I really appreciate how they group dogs by similar temperaments and carefully vet each dog coming into the facility. Knowing my pup is surrounded by compatible playmates gives me peace of mind. The cameras are such a great feature! It’s so fun to check in and see what my girl is up to during the day. It’s obvious she’s having a blast and getting lots of love and attention. She comes home so tired and content, which has made such a difference in her behavior. She’s calmer, happier, and so much better behaved after a day at Luck Dog. For a dog who’s very social, Luck Dog is the perfect alternative to dog parks, which I’ve found to be messy and full of unpredictable situations. This daycare provides a clean, safe, and structured environment where my pup can thrive. I’m so grateful for this amazing resource for my girl and can’t wait to continue bringing her here!
My pup and I are thankful to the Team at Lucky Dog. Hobart is happy to go and I know he is in good hands when I drop him before work. He plays with the other dogs and they feed him the meal that I plan for him. At the end of the day he takes the Limo home and I trust the staff to put him into his crate with supper until I get home. He is so happy there that we are going to start classes and look forward to him going on the nature outings.
LuckyDog is a gift to all dog owners. Since bringing our Golden Retriever puppy, Shaina, here, we have had nothing but positive experiences. All the staff we meet are enthusiastic and really care about and for the dogs. Shaina loves it there. She has made friends and had an outside playdate with another golden. She has become well socialized, loves going and comes home happy, clean & satisfied. Thank you Dee Dee and the entire staff!💚
The staff at Lucky Dog are amazing! They are extremely caring and attentive, treating each dog as an individual, getting to know all their "personalities" and needs. There is such a wonderful atmosphere at Lucky Dog--so positive and enthusiastic. And they offer a full range of services--everything you could possibly want for your dog. I've gone to other doggy day cares, which were fine, but this is truly, off the charts exceptional! The staff were so skillful at guiding my big, 90 pound German shepherd, Felix, who went to Lucky Dog for many years. He always behaved well with them and with the other dogs. And the staff have been so gentle with my small dog Heidi, a traumatized rescue dog. They helped her feel strong and confident--now she holds her own with all the big dogs, feeling safe and sassy! Heidi LOVES going to Lucky Dog--she cries all the way in the car, in anticipation, and runs right in, thrilled to be there! Dogs don't lie! If only they could write their own reviews, it would be clear how magnificent this place is!
Have been taking our pup to Lucky Dog for almost a year now. We have had a great experience with owner, staff and all the options that we have taken advantage of…in addition to daytime care he has attended enrichment training , adventure camp, and even had a bath. One of Finn’s favorite activities is hanging out in the pool! Haha! Finn is happy to get dropped off and always come home ready to take a nap. Highly recommend!
We started using Lucky Dog after we got a golden retriever mix last year. We talked to 3 different similar doggy daycare locations and Lucky Dog was hands down the most inviting and friendly group of people. We have taken Max a few times now and we are over the top happy with them, so is Max! Update: Max was so excited to go to Luckydog today that he almost removed Kendra’s arm running for the entrance. We left him for overnights twice and it was reported that he took to it like he’s been coming all along! This is so important to us as we want to be able to go out of town and know that he is safe and happy. Most recent photo is him having fun at Luckydog!
Luckydog is awesome! The staff are caring and flexible, and many enrichment activities are offered to meet the wide range of energy levels of different breeds. Knowing that my pups are getting the best of care allows me to relax when out of town. Frankly, I think the pups like Luckydog better than home. ❤️ The pups also appreciate being able to keep up on their favorite Animal Planet shows when staying overnight. 😂
Can’t say enough good things about Luckydog. Our pup has attended day care twice a week for nearly four years and it’s the only place we feel comfortable boarding him when we can’t take him with us. The building is clean, they are very careful to make certain pups are up-to-date on vaccinations, and the staff are all wonderful. Bosco loves everything about Lucky Dog including the Enrichment program and Adventure Club. We love being able to have him groomed while he’s there. Lucky Dog is the best!
Highly recommended Lucky Dog!!! Can’t say enough great things about the staff, the facilities and things they offer. The staff makes Piper feel like the most important pup in the world every time we show up. As a pet parent its so great to be able to leave your little peanut in the care of people you know truly look out for her. Cheers to DeeDee and her entire staff!!!
I love Luckydog. When I moved to this area, I was immediately drawn to them for being an all in one provider for dogs. My dog Theo had a couple puppy classes from Stacey, who is a gem. A one hour one on one and my dog was already improving. Theo also regularly gets groomed by McKenzie. I’ve always been super happy with her cuts, and we’ve had different variations, all wonderful. She’s a grooming artist! I’ve never tried day care as I work remotely but I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go to them. I believe they also do boarding.
Love it that my cats can be outdoors all day if they want to. Linda takes good care of our Rockefeller and Juniper
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. 🥰
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.
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.
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.
Very reliable & affordable. These folks are a god-send!
We love taking Ozy to Holiday Kennels. He is a rescue pup and has separation anxiety but he barely says goodbye to us now when we drop him off! The staff is friendly and we feel good about leaving him in their care.
The staff are amazing! They are kind and knowledgeable and take such great care of the animals. My standard poodle, who has some separation anxiety, loves it there!
I've taken my dog here for about 10 years. The staff is great and they always take great care of my pup! They are an absolute life saver for owners of bigger dogs which can be more difficult, or may not get along well with others. They even handle the administration of medications, or other special needs. I don't know what I'd do without them!
This is a wonderful place with people that genuinely care about animals. They are so sweet and communicative! Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone
We really love that our dog is happy to go here every time. The staff seem to like him being there too and this makes our hearts happy. We feel very confident knowing our fur baby is taken very good care of when we leave him here. We would highly recommend them!
I took my dog here for the first time before a 2.5 week vacation, which was the longest I've ever had to board him, and I was nervous about it for him. When I arrived, there happened to be another woman in the exact same boat, and she took the time to rave about her past experiences to me, detailing how great the staff was and how excited her dog was in the car to come back each time. It helped put me at ease, as my dog can be pretty anxious. It ended up being a great experience for us too, as they provided photos and updates on how he was doing. Being an anxious dog, I don't know if he will ever be jumping in the backseat in excitement to return to a boarding facility, but he seemed to do really well there and it was the best I could have hoped for.
I would highly recommend Holiday Kennels! They clearly care so much about the pets they look after. My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and really seems to do well here. The satff does amazing work and their prices can't be beat! Support this local business and trust your animals to Holiday Kennels!
My wife and I travel fairly often and are more than happy with the treatment both of our dogs receive at Holiday Kennels. By the time we are dropping them off the dogs are no longer paying attention to us and are excited to be somewhere they can socialize. They do an excellent job in grooming, they love animals, and the pricing is up front and fair. I have nothing but great things to say about this kennel and recommend to all of my friends when they ask for a place to board their animals.
I was very nervous to leave my dog at a kennel for the weekend, but it had to be done! We tried Holiday Kennels because of the excellent reviews here on Google. When I first went in I was a bit shocked because it didn't look fancy like the other kennels we had looked at online. It looked like the Humane Society - no frills, cement floors, cages. Anyway, I freaked out a little bit and the staff were incredibly understanding and patient with me. They said that they could put my dog in a special part of the kennel for nervous dogs (even though my dog wasn't nervous - it was me!). They said they understood if I wasn't comfortable leaving my dog. They were so kind that finally I calmed down and realized that these were the kind of people that I wanted to care for my dog. I also told myself to be more reasonable - dogs don't care about fancy decorations in their kennel - they care that it's dry, clean, safe and warm. Well, it is all those things. There was almost no smell. When we picked up our dog, she was happy and everything was fine. They told us about how she had done while she was there so I know they pay attention to the dogs. I wish that our dog had come home with a bit less pent-up energy but she is a high energy dog (border collie) and it's difficult to wear her out even in the best of times. I'll recommend Holiday Kennels to all my friends.
Our dogs are our kids so it is tough to ever leave them. The folks at Holiday Kennels love animals as much as we do so that's why when we have to leave our furry friends behind, we choose here! Our boys are always happy to see the friendly faces of the incredible staff. We rest easy knowing our dogs are very well taken care of. :)
We have been taking our Golden Retriever puppy for a few months now for Day care and Training. He absolutely loves it there.. it’s a wonderful safe place to leave your dogs. I never have to worry because I know he’s always being well taken care and he always has the best time playing with his friends and all the handlers. Rachel has been training our dog and after only 6 sessions he has made huge improvements as far as behavior and listening. I Highly recommend opportunity barks we couldn’t be Happier.
We have been taking our dogs to Opportunity Barks for at least 11 years. They have gone above and beyond to help us and our dogs even during evacuations. They provide a happy safe place for dogs to socialize and play and enjoy their lives. Our dogs know days they go, remind us if we miss the turn, Love going to Opportunity Barks. Thank you will all our hearts
Definitely the right place to take your barking, four legged friends. My puppy Theo just can't wait to get inside and meet and greet--after several years of weekly day care. The dog-minders are wonderful--- devoted to making every dog's day the best (whether in the dog days of summer or the frozen dark days of winter).
Our family always feels so confident leaving our pup. She LOVES it and comes home tired from all the playing! Thoughtful on integration and getting a new pup comfortable.
The absolute best place for your dog! We board our Goldens here regularly, and they go to daycare once a week, sometimes more. I never worry about my fur babies when they're at Opportunity Barks. They get lots of exercise, and even more love! ❤ You won't find a better, more caring and professional place for your pups anywhere!
I love this place! I have GS pup with some separation anxiety and the staff has been very willing to work with this. Melanie is great with my pup. I so appreciate being able to work on this issue at opportunity barks.. highly recommend!!
I love bringing my pup here for daycare. He is a little on the shy side when he is there and the staff make sure he is comfortable and gets the interactions he likes most. They are always honest with me about how his day was and I feel comfortable leaving him in their care.
Wrigley loves going to doggy daycare at OB. He gets so excited on the drive there and is always happy to see the staff that greet him at the door. Everyone we have interacted with is excellent and we know our dog is being well taken care of. We have also boarded Wrigley and that went very well. Highly recommend!!!
My wife and I were stressing about what to do with our two dogs when we went on vacation. We had a couple recommendations to checkout Opportunity Barks, so we did. All of our emails were answered efficiently, with details and pictures of our babies, while we were away. So thankful for the great staff especially Ayla. Nice clean, big facility. Thank you all for your great service! Allen
Friendly staff. Has a giant yard as well as a lot of indoor space.
Hands down the best dog daycare/sitter around. I've used Virginia and Pampered Pooch for over a decade now - and even now that I live in Portland still bring the pups down to stay with her for almost all of my work travel. The level of care and attention afforded to pups here is second to none and there is no one I'd trust more with my fur kids.
Virginia is totally in her element where dogs are concerned, and provides excellent care and attention to all the dogs she has the good fortune to be their adopted ‘mom’ to. She has known and hosted our Golden Retriever for going on 3 years now. She loves Annie and Annie loves her. Enough said!
Was looking for a somewhere to board my pup for the night and found Pampered Pooch. I was taken aback when I saw on her website that she doesn't allow "pitbulls", pit mixes or chihuahuas. I will not be taking my dog to this business because the discrimination is ridiculous. I highly doubt the business can even distinguish a "pitbull" from the may other breeds that are often mistaken for them. Pitbull isn't even a breed, so that goes to show how educated the owner is.
Ginny is wonderful -- she lover her own pup as much as she will love your pup. She is my "go to" person when my own dog can't stay at home or I need someone for him for over night! Yes, yes, yes!
I have no idea who you are. We've never been in contact.
We’ve been taking our dog to Tall Oaks for a couple months now and have been so happy with them! He comes home happy and exhausted, the staff is always so friendly and the most important thing: our dog loves Heather and Sam and loses his mind when he sees them each week. It’s nice to know we have somewhere for our high energy pup to go without stressing about whether or not it’s a good experience for him. Thanks Tall Oaks Crew!
I’ve been sending my senior pup (14 years old) to Tall Oaks for over two years now! She absolutely loves it there, and always receives the best care! The employees are extremely dog savvy and conscious of interactions, so I never need to worry about my dog having a bad time or over-exerting herself. As soon as she realizes where we are going, she starts barking in excitement in car! I cannot recommend Tall Oaks enough!!!
I don’t recommend this location due to a negative interaction with the owner. It did not work out to send both my dogs for ongoing visits to Tall Oaks due to the expense. They are totally reasonable in price, but it wouldn’t work out for me with multiple dogs. Completely my mistake. I decided to hold back on bringing my dogs in, and the owner offered to refund my credits paid for the day. Instead, she ignored me when I asked nicely many times about when she would provide the refund (emails, phone call, texts). I offered multiple ways to provide the refund (Venmo, check, PayPal, etc.). She ultimately just ignored me, or made odd comments in response. I would have brought my dogs in for the day if I’d known she was going to just rip me off for 60$. Very rude considering she offered to give the refund, and the service was never utilized.
It has been a year since my last review, but I wanted to update, since I now send TWO dogs to Tall Oaks. Daycare days are the BEST days, if you ask my pups. It may seem, at times, that there are a lot of dogs (a concern mentioned by someone else), but Sam (incredibly compassionate, skilled dog handler) and Heather (impressively knowledgeable and caring owner) are pros and know exactly how to handle the dogs so that they remain safe and are thriving in their environment. I deeply appreciate the level of care they provide to my treasured family members.
My puppy has an amazing time every time she stays with Tall Oaks. I know that she is well cared for and is having a great time running around with other dogs. She comes home tired!
Tall Oaks Dog Resort LLC is one of the few places in Eugene Or that takes perfect care of your pup. Professional care is constant, reliability is never a problem, and response is always provided. Our labs always come back breathing hard (from the enjoyable day of planned activities), and happy, after a day or night at Tall Oaks Dog Resort. Both dogs are always in a hurry to get back to the kennels. Tall Oaks Dog Resort is a wonderful place to leave your dog for the day, or a couple nights, guaranteed. Enjoy vacation (or a day off) while always knowing your dog will have the best time!
So grateful to be able to go on vacation guilt free, after moving to the Eugene area and discovering Tall Oaks! My girl comes home so happy and worn out every time I have her stay at Tall oaks, and loves all of her friends there so much! The staff is super kind. And it is lovely to get photos while on vacation of my puppy looking just has happy has I feel when I am away having fun. Which never leaves me to worry about my sweet heart! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who needs a little extra help.
Not a good first impression. AVOID THIS PLACE Everything looked good online and I talking on the phone and via email to Heather, the owner. Made an appointment to come see the place. Did my due diligence of sending all required documents and vaccine records and required antigen tests so I thought this is the place! The website looks good but you need to do an in person visit. She (Owner) very responsive online. Came out today and left with the most uneasy and unwelcoming impression by the person I met today. Started off with: Are you dropping off or what" "I didn’t know you were coming". "It would have been nice if she, Heather, would have told told me”. It didn’t get any better after that. The worker seemed disgruntled and it came off as super passive aggressive. Too many dogs for one person to handle. There are a lot of dogs for a small space. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The area is too small for the amount of dogs she boards at one time. This place has a bad vibe. Bottom Line: unwelcoming, overcrowded, not enough help, flaky owner. I would not leave my dogs at this place! The kicker: I wrote a final email to the owner letting her know of my experience. Her reply was: "call me"! Yeah-if I were an owner of a business my reply to this would not be "call me" it would be me reaching out to the potential client. That's pretty much what I need to know! FLAKY and unreliable!
Frances has been attending daycare twice a week for almost 2 months and life would be much sadder without this amazing option. She loves it so much and comes home happily exhausted. So good for both pup and her human! Heather is always responsive to any questions or concerns. You can tell she wants the best for the dogs in her care. And the shuttle service is such a blessing! Thank you, Heather and staff!
I have never written or responded to a review, but the recent negative review is so contradictory to my experiences with Tall Oaks I had to chime in. I actually wonder about the truth and motives behind the post. I have used Tall Oaks for 6 years for both daycare and boarding and have always, always experienced the highest level of care for my beloved dog. The best testament to the level of care and attention would be how excited my best friend is when he realizes the is going to Tall Oaks. I sometimes wonder who he loves more, me or Tall Oaks, Heather and the staff. This place is special.
Sakora, Josh, and the gang are absolutely wonderful! Our 2 Beagles are in the best of hands here! They love coming here! We are so grateful!!
I love this daycare so much, I was so nervous to leave my dogs for the weekend. I was able to bring my dog’s in for a 3-4 hour evaluation for them to be cleared for boarding. I have two high energy shepherds so I was really nervous they wouldn’t be cleared, however they told me they were amazing and reassured me that boarding will go smoothly. When I dropped them off, they were so welcoming to me and my dogs, they even let me shake off some nerves by asking a million questions to make sure what happens within the daycare throughout the day. While I was out of town I was able to call them and request for pictures to be sent to me of my pups for an update on how they’re doing. They were prompt and texted me a bunch of pictures of them and told me how great they were. I was so pleased, picking up and dropping them off was a breeze and I definitely plan on using this daycare whenever I need it next! I am attaching the pictures that they sent me as well. Thank you! :)
I can’t say enough good things to capture how much we love and appreciate Dog Paw Daycare. We have a VERY high energy, high anxiety 1.5 year old Siberian Husky who we got during quarantine and had turned out to be quite the handful. Despite this, Dog Paw has handled him with such grace, understanding and compassion. We moved to Eugene from Colorado and did not know anyone in the area so we relied on Dog Paw many times for out of town trips or emergency daycare needs. Although the staff was initially hesitant because our pup displayed some challenging behaviors (barrier frustration, anxious barking, etc), they quickly learned how to handle and support our dog and always welcomed him with a smiling face. Our heart was so happy to see how excited our pup was when he realized he was in the car heading to daycare! We are moving out of state but will greatly miss having Dog Paw as our go-to daycare spot. Sending a huge thank you to all the staff at dog paw for putting up with and caring for our pup Bristol. Bristol loves you guys! ❤️ Thank you!
I work a lot and take Appollo to daycare one day a week to be out of my house. He loves going and doesn’t like playing with the dogs but loves the people! Thank you guys for being so great to him, you help me socialize him and I am so thankful!
My boyfriend and I are first-time dog owners, so we've been hesitant of leaving our one-year old Australian Cattle dog, Bailey, at a daycare/overnight boarding facility. We found this Dog Paw Daycare and Boarding after doing a few hours of research (best reviews, local and availability). Turns out: they aced it all — and the reviews were not an exaggeration. The staff here are especially caring, and when we called, they gave an honest update on Bailey's medication, food and water intake and playfulness. We once questioned if our dog had separation anxiety — especially in new environments. We were once again proven wrong, and that's thanks to the staff for making Bailey so comfortable in her crate. See the picture attached of her sleeping so soundly before we picked her up during after hours. We called for updates, and the staff were professional and truthful. We requested a lot, and the staff gladly accommodated our wishes. We weren't members, but we are definitely considering it. If not, we are 100% returning. In fact, I also saw members having the ability of viewing their dog on a webcam, and that's amazing. A little free time for us, and socialization and fun for Bailey. It's a win-win scenario. If you're in the Eugene/Springfield area, enroll your pup into this daycare/overnight boarding facility.
This is a hard review to write....because I am going to make my own situation more complicated. This Doggy Daycare is beyond amazing!!! Our year old golden retriever LOVES going here. Everyone who works here seems to love Maggie just as much as I do. They go above and beyond to help us, take care of Maggie, and run an honest and ethical business! Maggie does 2 days of daycare per week and has done boarding a couple times....She is never excited to leave when we show up....she gets sad to leave behind all her friends. We have used another daycare in our area and it is not nearly as great as this one. The owners of Dog Paw should be very proud of the business they run! The reason my situation will become more complicated is because more people will learn how awesome they are and make it harder for us to get Maggie in. :) Way to go Dog Paw, YOU ARE STELLAR!!!
If I could give this business 10 stars, I would! The staff who did Rocky's evaluation were beyond amazing! They were friendly, professional and it's clear that they love dogs. The facility was so clean and super secure. I definitely feel like it's a safe place to leave my pup. They give each dog an evaluation before you can leave them for boarding. Word of mouth led me to book a stay and I'm so happy I found this wonderful company!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My dog LOVES Dog Paw Daycare.The staff is friendly, and they provide the option for a drive up drop off which is so convenient. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their dogs some extra socialization and a fun place for them to burn some energy.
Dog Paw Daycare is overflowing with loving and supportive people who go above and beyond for the dogs under their care. Our Dog Willy loves coming here, he always gets so excited to see everyone! Willy has separation anxiety so when we brought him here two years ago there was some worries that he might not enjoy his time, luckily this was not the case. I highly recommend Dog paw for all pups. Sadly we are moving and only hope we can find someplace just as special at our new home. Thank you to everyone who worked here that allowed Willy to feel so safe, comfortable, and happy.
We were beyond impressed with the experience we had at Dog Paw Daycare. I called them to see if they had any availability last minute over Thanksgiving weekend as we planned a trip down from Portland. They were very gracious to help out. Upon arrival we noticed how clean and well kept everything was. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to ensure our pup had a fun and safe stay. This would definitely be our go to spot for Daycare and boarding if we lived close by. Great job Dog Paw Daycare!
Valerie is amazing. I had her watch my two fur babies while my fiancee and I were gone for a week. I got into contact with her, left her my key, and went on my way knowing my animals were safe and sound. She even sent me pictures of them! I would recommend her to anyone! She is very loyal and trustworthy
Kerstie is a phenomenal caretaker for my two large breed dogs. I have her walk and/or feed them when im away for work or travel usually 2-3 times per week and soon we will start training. She cares for them like they are her own, and goes above and beyond to let me know how they're doing and takes initiative to give them what they need, whether it is more care and cuddles or more exercise. She is very responsive and easy to book.
