“Showed up on time. Followed directions. Sent us updates on the babies and they were happy as clams when we came home which always indicates to me they were well cared for. Thank you! Will definitely book again.”
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible
“Once again, Regina was awesome! She dog sat our dog over the holidays and took very good care of Alchemy. She left our place super tidy, clean and even left some fresh baked cookies on the counter. Amazing! Thank you Regina.”

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.
“Kimberleigh was our guardian angel for a last minute booking. Our tiny puppy loved her and she was so patient with his teething and menacing behavior. Thank you, Kimberleigh, I hope you can watch Rambo again for us in the future.”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
About: Hi! I’m Susan! I’m a native Manteca girl. I have loved animals all my life but especially dogs!! When I’m with dogs that aren’t mine, they can sense my calm and rarely has there been a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m a calm person and always expect the best from my pets and they act that way. I believe that a calm owner or person in charge of any dog, creates a calm atmosphere which also makes it fun. I would love to meet your fur baby and love them just like you would. You can be assured while you are away that your four legged family member will be happy and well loved in your absence. I look forward to meeting you soon. I have my own part-time businesses, including Pet Sitting, so I consider myself available, almost always and very professional. Thank you for considering my services. Currently, I am unable to have my own pets, that’s why I love to pet sit for others. It gets my doggie fix in. I do have a cat, but he is partial to my mom, though he lets me love on him.
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away
“Gloria was truly great with our rescue boxer Shelby. Shelby has been neglected and mistreated in her past life before we adopted her and Gloria had made her feel at ease and loved, sent many pictures and video and responded right away every time when contacted. I will absolutely use Gloria again as i can trust her with our home and our fur baby.”
“Errol helped us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute Dog sitter for our two pups. He brought a calm energy that the dogs loved, and I felt completely comfortable, leaving them in his care. The house was in the same condition that we left it, which has not always been the case with previous sitters. He sent pictures of the dogs throughout the day which I loved and checked in periodically to let us know how things were going. I would absolutely use his services again, great sitter.”
About: I have years of pet experience having 2 dogs of my own my entire life! As well as dog sitting for family and friends! Feel free to reach out! This fits into my routine, I’m currently a college student looking for a hobby as well as a side job! I’m free almost all week. I care for pets like taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them treats as well making sure they’re fed and feeling well! Overall just watching them
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
“April was absolutely great! I received picture updates daily and she took care of my diabetic dog that receives insulin injections twice a day with no issues. Will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up in a pet loving home! I’ve had pets since I was a little, they’ve always been a part of the family. I currently have 2 indoor dogs who are very friendly. We also have a doggy door that leads to the backyard for them to sunbathe at their leisure. We live in a very friendly quiet neighborhood near a park. Send me a message! I’d be happy to watch your fur baby if needed I currently work Monday-Friday and I’m home after 3pm. I’m off weekends so I have more free time if you are away for the weekend. I live with my mom and she doesn’t work, so your fur baby will always have company. My backyard is fenced in and we also have a doggy door that allows your pet to come in and out of the house freely.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 475 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eugene. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Eugene walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Eugene maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eugene choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
