Local know-how pays off in Eugene
Eugene has a mild, wet climate: rainy winters where November through January often top seven inches a month, and warm, dry summers that can push into the 80s and 90s in August. Sitters carry towels and rain gear for muddy winter walks, and on late-summer wildfire-smoke days they keep outings short and watch for labored breathing.
When demand peaks
Demand rises around the University of Oregon calendar and the track meets at Hayward Field, plus summer travel and the winter holidays. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners are away, while dog walking and drop-in visits stay steady for hospital and campus staff working long shifts.
