Walking Sitters Reviews

Walking Sitters is the BEST! The owner, Tamal, came by for a first visit to get a view of the house and an in-person description of what we needed for our cats while my partner and I were away, which was great. While we were on a brief vacation, Jennifer A. came by twice a day to feed and give attention to our cats. She sent positive photos and updates, which were a pleasure to receive and never over-bearing. One of our cats was finicky and elderly, and Jennifer did a fabulous job making sure she was fed. It was reassuring to get the photos, and I never felt overwhelmed with too many details. Both kitties were well-loved while we were away. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks so much for the excellent care and peace of mind, Walking Sitters!

Thank you so much, Wendy! We're thrilled to hear our team provided such great care and peace of mind for you and your kitties. Your trust means the world, and we’d love to care for them anytime!

We had never left our boys with strangers before and now our minds are finally at ease that we can travel when we need to and they will be safe and taken care of the entire time. For anyone nervous about using a service vs friends or family, I was so impressed. They will grab your mail for you when they come in. You pick the amount of time you want them to spend with them. They take pictures and provide progress notes every single day. Everything was consistent and the very first day we got updates our minds were at ease. We will absolutely be using this service again and I highly recommend them.

They are so great! Super professional and communicative. I got photos of my cat the entire trip in a cool portal they set up. They really monitor everything and are super thorough. Plus my cat is usually sus with strangers but loved Jennifer. Really glad I have them to watch my cat for any upcoming trips.

Tamal’s team is just wonderful, I can’t recommend this company enough. If you even bring up the word “dog” in conversation with me, I’m probably already halfway through my spiel on just how amazing this service is. Jennifer and Emily are both so great with my handful of a pup, and he’s obsessed with them (he runs to the door when I even mention one of their names). I’m just as obsessed. It’s nice to know he’s had his adventure and exercise for the afternoon while I’m locked away in my office… the fact that I get a daily update with photos included is icing on the cake. 20/10 recommend!

Walking Sitters (and specifically our sitter, Jenny) was fantastic all-around! Tamar, who is wonderful, was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and set up a visit to establish my “kittos” daily regimen. He took notes and was super thorough and attentive to every little detail that I shared. I especially loved the online portal where I was able to easily add personal specifics for both of my cats and also easily pay my invoice. And most of all, I LOVED that I was able to chat with our sitter each day that she was visiting our sweet girls— she sent a detailed log plus photos, and I felt so comfortable knowing that our girls were being seen by such caring and kind individuals. We will certainly use WS again the next time we venture out of town— 10/10 and two thumbs/paws up!

Walking Sitters has been great for pet sitting our two cats when we’re out of town! Tamal has been very thorough - we get emailed updates every day with how they are doing, sometimes with pictures too! Through the website it is easy to request additional days for pet sitting if spur of the moment trips come up for us. I would highly recommend Walking Sitters for your pet sitting needs!

Tamal and Emily have been great with my 80lb Chesapeake bay retriever Rosie. I also love the convenience of scheduling and paying through the app. All around it’s been a great experience for both of us!

I started using Walking Sitters a couple weeks due to long work hours. The service has been great! They are reliable and responsive with communication. Everything has been so easy since setting up the service. The pricing is very reasonable and I love that the walkers get tips as well. My dogs are really loving the walks and the extra movement in their day which is so important for them and their muscles and joints as they get older. I’d recommend this service highly to anyone!

We have been using Walking Sitters for the past year after our previous sitter stopped doing home visits. We have been very happy!! Emily and Heather are wonderful caring for our Chihuahuas. You get an update after each visit, pictures. The portal makes it easy to send messages, pay invoice and schedule sitter. They are quick to respond. I would highly recommend.

Excellent experience! I have used Tamal and the team at Walking Sitter Pet Service in Eugene, OR to check in on my cat Tipper several times over the past year, including holidays. Excellent and responsive customer service. Available and accommodating on short notice and with schedule changes. Daily reports on food and box habits with occasional photos provided after each visit. Tipper required oral medications during one visit - not a problem for Tamal. Great to have a reliable service so close at hand!

Tamal and Emily are literally the best. We were new to the Eugene area about a year ago and were lucky to stumble upon this awesome group. They are super responsive, very flexible (been able to watch are cat on a weeks notice), and very reasonably priced. We previously had family watch our cat during our trips but found that to be unreliable and no longer possible when we moved. Emily and Tamal come everyday and provide emails confirming our cat has ate and drank (and how much!), went to the restroom, and will play with her while they are there. To add icing on the cake they send us pictures of her most days and she looks like she is having the best time! It's nice to know that our cat is the best hands and gives us peace of mind she is okay while we are away! Highly recommend!!

I've been using Walking Sitters to care for my cats when I'm on vacation for many years now. They are always quick to respond and always available, even at the last minute. I feel that my cat is well cared for when I'm away!

Walking Sitters has cared for my dog during several vacations and weekends. They have done a great job and there has never been an issue! They communicate very well and seem to always be available, even in short notice. The neatest thing is that my dog can be difficult to get to know, apprehensive and barking initially, but Tamal was understanding and took her on as a dog client anyway. Pretty cool. Thank-you!!
