A much needed escape into the forest. ๐๐ฒ๐ชตโจ
On , we're sharing a few important reminders on the importance of microchips - such as:
โก 1 in 3 family pets will get lost
โก Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners and microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners
And remember - while microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolenโฆa microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.

Happy Tongue Out Tuesday from Boxer ๐
Did you know dogs pant (inhale and exhale quickly) to draw cool air into their bodies and over their wet tongues?
This process, called thermoregulation, speeds up the evaporation of water from their tongues, mouths, and upper respiratory tracts; the evaporation helps to cool them down, similar to how sweat cools human skin!
Around 40,000 stray or feral cats call our area home. Throughout the county, cat rescue organizations led by dedicated, compassionate people work to remedy this issue humanely. Leslie Beekman is one such local who is passionate about animals. Inspired by her childhood dog Puggy, she has organized an...

Hello friends & followers! ๐
I apologize for the lack of posts and updates; over the last few months, I have been dealing with a lot of personal and professional-related items that sucked up my life, free time and emotional well being. However -
I am happy to say that things are finally settling down and I am able to start breathing again. ๐
Thank you to all of my clients for being patient, and I am sorry to those who have tried to book me for services and I was unable to fulfill your requests.
I am taking a week off to relax and spend some much needed time with my love and three dogs between Aug. 18-25th so we can decompress and enjoy what is left of summer. ๐ Between now and then, I will not be taking on new clients but will be again in September!
Thank you all for your continued support of my dreams. I adore you all. ๐ฅฐ
Iโm sitting in my car trying to pull myself together before going in to see Marlon for what may be the second to or last timeโฆ
The ๐ฉpiest part of being an animal lover who owns a pet-related business is the fact that all my clients become part of my familyโฆ and there comes a time you have to say goodbye no matter how unprepared you are to do so.
Marlon and his sister Maisie are my longest clients. Before I opened Central Bark I was a manager at a dispensary and Rover.com dog sitter/walker/ etc. and these two have been in my life for over five years. When I worked 12+ hour days at the day care I would take a lunch break and walk them since they lived close to me and then stop at home to grab whatever I can easily shove into my mouth while driving back. ๐คฃ
Over the past few months I have noticed he had a harder time walking up hills, overall has been moving slower and there were days where he wasnโt up for walks so heโd stay behind while I walked his sister, only to greet me and at the front door with his tail wagging because he knew a treat feast ensued.
This is the last picture I captured of him a few weeks ago when he was still in high spirits - rolled around in grass, took treats from me and was able to complete our walk without issue. This is how Iโll always remember you, Marlon.
I feel SO incredibly lucky that his family chose and trusted me to be their 5x/week dog walker for the past five years, but I am having a really hard time accepting that I have to say goodbye and no longer see your sweet face greet me at the front door after tomorrow.
Why donโt dogs live longer!?!?! ๐ญ๐ญ
Happy Wednesday from , and the Eugene Pet Services crew! ๐ ๐พ ๐ฅน
Please give a warm welcome to my newest dog walking client - Boxer!! I am absolutely in love with this sweetheart. ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ Our first hour long walk was perfect - fantastic weather, lots of sniffs, and sweet kisses.
Thank you Carla for the trust!
Fear of loud noises is stressful for dogs and can limit activities they can enjoy. Here are some ways to help your dog feel safe.
When you find a lovely, soft lawn to get belly rubs and the hooman finds your favorite spot to scratch = bliss. ๐ฅฐ๐พโค๏ธ
A shout out to the human who has brought these two wonderful dogs into my life. Without going into detail, their human has been โฆ beyond amazing and helpful with things going on in my life recently and I truly donโt know how I will repay or express how much I appreciate their help to date. ๐๐
Thank you for showing me compassion still exists in this crazy world and for giving me faith that a brighter future is ahead. ๐ฉท
Had my first walk with Kyla and Bucky this week! ๐ฅฐ I am so happy to add them to my Monday schedule, theyโre a dream to walk. Their parents and I bonded over living in Chicago, our love for Polish dill pickles ๐, and how much we adore our fur babies.
Thank you so much for trust!
Sunโs out, tongues out! Happy from miss Maddie. ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ

As a professional dog walker who has a soft spot for large breed dogs, I oftentimes get stopped when walking dogs like Kuma and asked a variety of questions. These are the top three Iโve heard the most: ๐ฆฎ Who is walking who!?! (While laughingโฆ.) ๐ฉ Can you handle that dog? (As theyโre calmly and nicely walking next to me) ๐พ He must know youโre the alpha (::cringe:: โฆ no, we have worked as a team using positive reinforcement and patience to get to this point.) If youโre the parent of a large breed dog (like me!), have you ever heard these phrases as youโre out on a walk together? Tell me below! ๐
What are your thoughts? Do you require your dog(s) to heel on walks? While I think โheelโ is a valuable skill during certain situations, I believe a dog should have the freedom to explore and sniff while on a walk! ๐พ
๐ฃ EXCITING NEWS! I am accepting new drop-in and dog walking clients in Amazon, Crest Drive, Fairmount, Whiteaker and Cal Young areas! ๐พ๐ ๐โ: Cal Young & Whiteaker residents: On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have availabilty at 11:30a -OR- around 1:00p. If you need help on other days of the week, DM or e-mail me to chat! ๐ฉ: Amazon, Crest Drive, Fairmount and Southeast residents: Availability varies daily depending on if you prefer half hour or hour visits / dog walks. As always, initial meet + greets are FREE to ensure I am a good fit for your family and to give you an opportunity to ask any questions or raise concerns about your pet's behavior (from stranger danger, reactivity, etc.) If you live in a different area of Eugene or Springfield but would like to hire me for drop-in visits or routine weekly dog walks, feel free to reach out to me so we can discuss details and if I am able to help you and your family. :-D I look forward to meeting you!
I do not discriminate! All breeds and sizes welcome. I have a lot of experience handling large breed dogs and feel very comfortable taking care of them.
Having prior dog & cat handling experience is crucial to understanding your petโs emotional state + how to properly read a pet's body language, which is important because it helps us ensure your pet is comfortable during their time with us. We also pride ourselves on being very thorough by talking to our clients and asking questions before they drop off their pet to ensure we have prior knowledge that they are taking any medications, have health issues, are trained, have a food aggression, etc.
