Cottage Grove, Oregon

Pet care in Cottage Grove and the south county.

Cottage Grove tends to be underserved by pet sitters who stick to Eugene. I drive — about 45 minutes from Veneta — and I'm there for house sits and longer-format care.

Cottage Grove is where Lane County starts to feel like the country. Big yards, the Row River Trail, the covered bridges, downtown Main Street, the lake. I love getting down here.

Where I serve in Cottage Grove

  • Downtown Cottage Grove and the historic streets
  • Properties along Row River Road and toward Dorena Lake
  • The Bohemia area
  • Saginaw, Walker, and the rural pockets in between Eugene and CG
  • London and farther into the foothills, by appointment

What works best for Cottage Grove clients

Because of the drive (about 45 minutes each way from Veneta), my best fit for Cottage Grove tends to be:

  • House sitting — I stay there. No commute eating into your pet's care.
  • Long sits (multi-week) — perfect for retirees who travel for chunks at a time.
  • Twice-daily drop-ins — clustered at fixed times, easier on my schedule and your wallet.

Single drop-ins or one-off walks are doable but generally not the most efficient — if that's what you need, I'll be honest about it on the phone and we'll figure out the right cadence.

Walking spots

  • Row River Trail — the signature spot, paved, gorgeous
  • Dorena Lake trails (when accessible)
  • Quiet residential streets in the historic district

Property owners with chickens, goats, horses — yes, I do farm sits. Tell me what's on the land and we'll figure it out.
