Come enjoy Eugene, Oregon, an eclectic university town, with a rich cultural scene that includes the our Weekly Farmers and Crafters Market, UNIVERSITYofOregon School of Music events, UO sports/Hayward Field, the historic U of O campus, the SHEDD institute for cultural performances,  and our wonderful HULT Center for The Performing Arts.  Plus plenty of active outdoor opportunities: biking, hiking, paddling, birding, skiing (nordic and alpine)  plus local walking/hiking (RidgeLineTrail around town) . Plus,a sixty-mile drive west of Eugene thru the coast mountain range beings you to the Oregon Coast, sand dunes, hiking trails, and charming small towns.  Or drive seventy miles east, the Santiam pass or the Willamette pass, both sitting atop of the Oregon Cascades, along lovely mountain highways. Find plenty of hiking on both the E & W side of these Oregon Cascades.   Some call Eugene "Track Town USA".  But for me, it is my home-sweet-home-town, friendly, active, respectful, colorful, inclusive

My home, two bedroom, one bathroom,  sits on a quiet street corner in the middle of the FAN, Friendly Avenue Neighborhood, one of the more established and desirable areas for residents and homeowners, full of well-cared older homes/gardens with colourful garden alleyways.  Friendly Grocery Store and the Friendly Garden for live music and food court, three blocks away, a very happening palce, almost nightly. My home is solidly built, 75 years old, with significant recent remodels adding a sophisticated touch, while still cozy with very private setting.  Heat Pump/AC, t one bathroom, two small bedrooms, one of which is my sleeping room, which is the main loft bedroom, (with short easy stairs, not steep) with my double bed. Small downstairs guest room with a single bed.  Private fenced-in backyard with an established shade garden. My home is three miles from the U of O, and one mile from downtown. You can bike, walk, bus.  Plenty of on-street parking at my home.

Cats ...Oscar 15 years old, Ziggy younger adopted sis, now 11.  Kit Luna newest addition to our feline family in 2022.

All are healthy, polite, love to play/sleep together, explore outside, gaze out windows, enjoy a warm lap. They have their own cat door, for acess inside/outside. No cat box duties!  Cat lovers only please, no smokers. Arrive one day early please, (Sept 7) for orientation/hand-off, stay in my guest room the night before my departure, if you want.  Depart the same day I get home, late on the 2/October, or you can depart one day early, or depart next day, after I return home. Your chocie.

Reference  ......"I house sat for Cathy 3or4 times and found it to be a wonderful experience (thus repeating the experience again, several times!).     Cathy’s 3 cats are very independent, able to go in and out of the house as desired, they are easy to care for.  Cathy’s house is clean with all desired amenities and she is easy to work with.  Her house is in a great neighborhood with a natural food store within walking distance and bus service nearby.  All in all, I would recommend housesitting for Cathy and her cats!!"    Mary     December 2019

And, I have several more references available, just ask...

“ What a Lovely Stay in This Friendly Neighborhood ”

Sit Dates Sep-8-24 - Oct-1-24 Sitter zentango, Member Since Jul-13-12

Although the area gets its name from a former mayor, clearly the folks in this neighborhood have earned their "friendly" moniker. Besides Cathy being generous with her home and time in detailing things, a neighbor even stopped by with a gift of late summer tomatoes. Oscar, Ziggy and Luna are charming, and we had fun hanging out while their mom was traveling. Cathy's home is a delight in all that it has to offer. The area itself offers convenient access to shopping and much of what Eugene has to offer. I look forward to housesitting again for Cathy when I can!

“ Magical home ”

We loved staying at Cathy's quaint and unique home! Good energy...location is close to everything  and 2 hrs to coast. Cathy is easy going and kind; only wish we had more time to get to know her. The cats are easy and sweet and use a cat door! A first for us! We would sit again fir her fur family!

“ Excellent Housesitting Experience ”

Sit Dates Jan-25-21 - Jan-30-21 Sitter livearchive, Member Since Sep-25-19

I housesat for Cathy for 5 days and had a wonderful time. Her home is made for unwinding and relaxation. All three cats are magical buddies, all get along well with each other. Bonding with the cats was a daily activity and they enjoyed lots of petting and conversation.

Cathy is incredibly generous with her space, making a guest feel very much at home and welcomed. The guest room is cozy and the kitchen is large. Once can prepare great meals in the space. Cathy left great detailed instructions for me in case anything needed attention. Her neighborhood is a prime location for ease and access. I look forward to visiting and helping Cathy out again!
