Pet care across Eugene's neighborhoods.

Eugene is where I worked at Greenhill Humane Society, where I did my Fear Free training, where I met most of my long-time clients. I know the neighborhoods — and which ones are worth walking which dog through.

Neighborhoods I serve

• Whiteaker — small streets, big personality, lots of small dogs
• Friendly & Jefferson — quiet, leafy, great for senior pups
• South Hills — Hendricks Park, Spencer Butte trailheads, more elevation than most
• College Hill & Crest Drive — student-adjacent but mellow off the main streets
• Cal Young — wide sidewalks, family neighborhoods
• River Road & Santa Clara — north of the river, often forgotten by Eugene-only walkers
• Bethel — diverse, working, often underserved by pet care
• Downtown / Park Blocks — busy, but doable for confident dogs

Eugene parks I walk in

• Hendricks Park — shaded, hilly, gorgeous in spring (rhodies)
• Alton Baker Park & Pre's Trail — flat, long, by the river
• Amazon Park — paved loops, good for senior dogs and reactive ones (lots of space to make distance)
• Skinner Butte — short walks with a view
• Ridgeline Trail — for confident dogs, longer adventures

Note: dog parks (Amazon off-leash, Alton off-leash) aren't part of my standard walks. If you want your dog at one, I can take them — but only when we've cleared it together and your dog is genuinely comfortable in those environments.

What Eugene clients usually book

Standing weekly walks for working folks whose dogs need a midday break while they're at Sacred Heart, the U, or downtown. Drop-in cat care when people are out for a long weekend. And now dog training too — one-on-one sessions at your home.

Reactive and anxious dogs in Eugene

Eugene has a lot of dogs and a lot of triggers — bikes, longboards, off-leash dogs in places they shouldn't be off-leash. If your dog is reactive, we'll plan walks around quieter routes and lower-traffic times — and if you want to work on it, training sessions can happen right on those streets. More on reactive dog care.

Drive time from Veneta

About twenty minutes door to door, off-peak. I plan my schedule around it — Eugene visits cluster, so I'm not zigzagging around town. If you're a current client and you've referred a friend who's also in Eugene, we can sometimes back-to-back the visits.
