“Teresa provided absolutely wonderful care for our two cats! She gave our girl lots of pets and playtime and found our scaredy boy under beds so we knew he was ok. Water, food and boxes were perfect. She even cleaned up kitty litter tracked outside of the boxes. Excited to use Teresa’s services again in the future! Thank you so much for everything. We truly appreciate it.”

“Heather has done drop-ins for our dog Hachi (180 lb Great Dane), and has always been great. We feel comfortable with her coming by our apartment and making sure he gets a potty break and has food/water available. Heather has also been flexible with last minute changes and requests, which is something that’s extremely helpful when things don’t always go according to plan. I am leaving this review after our second booking, but I know we’ll be reaching out again for future drop-ins. We’re very pleased with her services and recommend her! Thank you Heather.”

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I only accept dogs that stand 17 inches or less at the shoulder and weigh 30lbs or less. I do occasionally make exceptions to this rule for senior dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with small dogs, calm, low energy and slow moving. I also have a maximum of 5 dogs staying with me at a time (which is a group of 8 if you include my own 3 dogs) and this keeps the overall energy more calm and less chaotic. I don’t accept Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pitbull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Huskys, German Shepherds and Chow Chows or their mixes due to these breeds not being a good fit for my small dog environment (a small percentage of 15% or less is okay if it came up in your dog’s mixed breed DNA test though). Please keep in mind I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament and your dog needs to be friendly and well accepted by my pack during a daycare trial or meet and greet in order to be approved for boarding. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. I have a house with a dog door and securely fenced yard. Your dog will have frequent potty breaks and full access to the house and yard. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available, in a soft sided crate on our bed (or on the floor next to the bed), or in an exercise pen. If your dog is small enough, comfortable and tolerant of other dogs around them, and sleeps peacefully then they will be allowed to sleep in the bed with us, but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crate trained, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed any other way. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I use tall pet gates to ensure all entrances are secure when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escapes. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences an illness or injury during their stay I will contact your dog’s usual veterinarian. In case of an emergency after hours I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has an stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, and my blue tongue skink (he's 16)! I love learning each individuals pets quirks and needs to help them feel safe and comfy. I do have more cat experience than dog experience but I am always happy to learn more. I am available for morning and evening drops ins and walks! Weekends are more flexible for afternoon drop ins and walks. Early morning or late evenings can be arranged! I make sure to learn each pets routine, personality and preference so that they feel safe and secure. Pets have their own likes and dislikes!

About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.

About: I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. As a teacher, patience, reliability, and attention to detail are part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m happy to tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, dependable hands. As a full-time special education teacher, providing a safe, supportive, and dependable environment is at the heart of what I do every day. My schedule allows me to offer pet care before and after work, on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love spending my free time going on walks, playing, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting your home by keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I spent years caring for my own dog and know how hard it was to trust others with him when I had to be away. I'm an avid hiker and find joy in walking dog and just being with animals. I know all of the great walks being a native to Eugene! In addition, I pay attention to details and understand the importance of accommodating the reassuring parts of a dog's daily life and routine. I truly would love to know your animal and welcome them into my heart. I'm happy to provide safe and reliable drop-in care for dogs who need a friendly attentive human, a potty break, walk feeding, and maybe a little baby talk.... Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I currently work for myself so I have plenty of flexibility during the workweek. I can stop in from 7 am - 4 pm most weekdays and would like some reliable weekly stops. I provide care in your home where your dog can feel safe and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions carefully and stay attentive to your dog's needs. I care about doors being locked, gates being latched, and dogs being where they need to be when I leave. I'd love to meet you before the first visit to make sure you feel at ease with having me help.

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Coburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coburg is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,241 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coburg. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
