Dog Sitting Eugene

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I can remember. I’ve been around young, old, small, big, and all kinds of fur babies. I’m ready to make sure your fur babies get love, cuddles, exercise, and attention they need:) Family and friends have trusted me to watch and take care of their own fur babies overnight and check ins during the day! No matter who your fur baby is I will provide care for them :) I do work 5 days a week but my schedule can be very flexible. My start of the week I work from morning to evening but the rest of the week I work early morning till the afternoon. Depending on how far from my work I’m able on my long breaks to check in for an hour or 30 minutes. I’ll always fit in your fur babies feeding schedule and enough time to go outside afterwards if needed into my work schedule. When I care for your fur babies in your home I switch my schedule to fit theirs so it doesn’t confuse or stress them out. I respect your home and clean up after myself and your fur baby so you don’t come home to a mess.

“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!”

“Brooke did a very good job following instructions and sending me lots of pictures of my cats! One morning she was 45 min late or else I would give her 5 stars. I still felt very comfortable leaving my home and my cats with Brooke and would book again!”

About: Hello I’m Griffin, I moved to Eugene last September to accept a job with a local nonprofit. I absolutely love dogs, to the point where my entire social media algorithm just presents me with puppy videos (all dogs are puppies to me.) I grew up with dogs, specifically Labradors, Cairn terriers and a Yorkie. When I was in Peace Corps in Ukraine, I had adopted a street dog and named him Dantinos. Sadly due to pandemic I was unable to bring my buddy back. There’s a big dog shaped hole in my heart. So, I decided to give this a try. My nonprofit job, while rewarding and interesting, isn’t cutting it for the cost of living today. I work full time but have remote work flexibility and live within a few minutes walking distance from my place of work- so whether it’s boarding or drop-ins, or walks, there’s a great opportunity to make it work. I would love to meet and pet and give your puppy some scratches if you’ll have me. I’ve got 35 years experience because I’ve grown with dogs all my life; and while I am not able to care for my own right now, taking a stroll with your puppy might be a win win win situation. I work full time, but have remote work flexibility and given a day or two in advance could likely block off some time to visit or walk a pet. Especially after lunch, when scheduled meetings are less frequent. When it comes to boarding- my work is literally a 5-8 min walk from my apartment- so even if I need to be in the office, coming back for potty breaks are not a problem. Fridays are generally half days, giving a little more flexibility I care for dogs by giving them love and affection when they want it. I’ve got a weakness for giving a dog treats with those pleading eyes, but I promise that I would never feed another persons dog anything not allowed, and certainly know to avoid over feeding. Eugene is a beautiful place and I think it would be a pleasure to take a stroll with your dog.

“Claire was fantastic! Really wonderful at caring for my special needs cat.”

About: I have always loved animals. Growing up I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, and even chickens as pets! I love taking care of them and learning their personalities. I also love going outside so your pet will come enjoy walks with me! I’ll help keep them clean and happy because a happy pet is a happy owner!!! I am going to be a sophomore in college so I will not be available after September 1st! I also have a job right now but my past sittings have had little to no problems with it! I am very open and can make any schedule work! When going to your house, I’ll follow all instructions that are given in a timely matter. I will also treat them with care and respect!!

“Amy was amazing with our senior dog! She was so gentle, patient, and understanding. As a professional, Amy excels as well. She stayed in communication with us, took pictures or video, and was always on time. Our dog has some special needs and medications, and Amy made sure that everything was done just right. Amy is a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: Hi, my name is Sophie. I'm new to rover but not to pet care! I've lived with dogs my whole life and offered petsitting services to my neighbors cats and dogs for years! It's always a pleasure coming over for walks, meals, play time, training, and potty breaks. I am currently unemployed, so I have totally open availability for petsitting. I will accept day-before clients and am happy to give your pets walks or do check-ins at any time! I live in a pet-free apartment currently and am not able to board animals, but I'm happy to bike to your home and promise to respectfully care for your pets!

About: I've taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was old enough to do so. Before this, I would go with my parents to help them take care of pets, too! I volunteered at a German Shepherd rescue in Los Angeles, and only recently stopped due to me moving to Eugene! I credit my deep knowledge for pets from my mom, who is a veterinary technician! I'm currently a full-time law student at the University of Oregon, which means that I have lots of time to spend with your pets while studying! Your pets are key for helping me do well on my exams :). You will never have to worry about your pet's safety with me. You can rest easy knowing I will follow all of your instructions carefully while making sure that your pet gets all the love they deserve. If they need to be crated or given medication, I can easily do this as well.

“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personal, hands-on experience with animals of all ages and personalities. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different needs, energy levels, and behaviors on a daily basis. I also have a puppy right now, which has taught me a lot about training, consistency, and keeping up with high-energy pets. In the past, I cared for a senior dog, so I understand how important patience, gentleness, and extra attention are when it comes to older pets. On top of that, I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends, so I’m used to stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently attend Univeristy of Oregon and do not have a job so I am pretty open! I get out of class at 3 Pm everyday besides Monday and Wednesday (5:30) and Thursday I don’t have class. Weekends are completely free for me too. We can always chat more to see if our schedules align and also how we can work around them! I have a puppy right now so i know how to handle high energy dogs and i’ve also had a senior dog in the past so i know they need more gentle care and attention. When we first meet I’ll introduc myself to your pet so we can build trust and form a friendship :) After that just let me know all the Do’s and Dont’s and any special instructions!! I’m so excited to start Pet sitting and dog walking it’s always been a dream of mine to make it my full time profession for the moment :-) My pets back in Portland have a big fenced yard where they can play and run around. But for now I will only be doing dog-walking and petsitting at other people’s homes because I live on campus :)

“We loved Ada. She was responsive, communicative, and managed to bond with our sometimes shy cat within a few days. We will definitely be working with her again.”

About: I am lucky enough to have lived every single day of my life with pets of some variety–dogs, cats, hamsters, and betta fish, primarily. Some were family pets, but most have been my own. I was seven years old when my parents allowed me my first pet of my very own (Fluffernutter, a brown-and-white banded Syrian hamster), and I still remember spending months poring over library books and researching everything I could about hamster care before bringing her home. Currently, I have one cat (Sushi, light of my life), but she’s only an only child because I don’t yet have the financial means to be the maniacal menagerist of my dreams. Meeting and loving and taking care of animals has always been the brightest part of my life; I genuinely cannot imagine a life without them, and I hope I never have to. Although this is my first time formally offering pet-sitting services, I’ve been caring for others’ pets for years, starting around age twelve. I’ve pet-sat for friends and neighbors, taking care of their dogs, cats, horses, and fish. My responsibilities have included everything from feeding and administering medication (when needed) to walks, cleanup, and making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. While most of my experience is with dogs, cats, horses, and fish, I love animals of all kinds and would be happy to care for most any critter. I spent approximately a year as a Pet Care Specialist at PetSmart, where my primary responsibilities included caring for the store’s fish and reptiles. It was a job I absolutely loved, and I still miss all of the little critters I looked after. I’ve also had a few hamsters over the years, and a close friend of mine had mice, rats, and snakes, all of which I spent a fair amount of time interacting with. Even when I don’t have experience with a specific animal, I always take the time to research their needs and follow all care instructions closely to ensure they’re well looked-after. When it comes to reptiles, I’m comfortable with general care, though I’m not able to provide feeder animals larger than insects. When it comes to dogs specifically, I have the most experience with medium and large pups and am comfortable caring for dogs of most sizes. However, I am not able to sit for any giant breeds. While I love them dearly (and have spent a great deal of time around Newfoundlands in particular), I want to ensure I can safely and confidently handle any situation that may arise. One of my favorite parts of pet-sitting is getting to know each animal as an individual. Every pet has their own personality, preferences, and quirks, and I make it a priority to learn those so I can care for them beyond just the basics. Whether it’s discovering their favorite toy, their ideal walking pace, their go-to nap spot, or how they like to be social (full cuddle mode or quiet companionship), I want your pet to feel understood and comfortable. I also have experience caring for shy and anxious pets. I understand that building trust can take time, patience, and consistency, and I’m more than happy to meet animals at their pace. Even confident pets can feel unsettled when their person is away, so creating a calm, safe, and reassuring environment is always a top priority for me. Above all, I treat every pet in my care the way I treat my own—with attentiveness, respect, and a lot of love. My goal is not just to meet your pet’s physical needs, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important that peace of mind is, and I’d love to provide that for you. A quick snapshot of my care style: • Experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, fish, and small pets • Patient and gentle with shy or anxious pets • Take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and preferences • Attentive, detail-oriented, and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions • Always willing to learn and provide thoughtful care for new types of pets • Not able to sit for giant dog breeds • For reptiles, comfortable with general care but unable to provide feeder animals larger than insects Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week, with the exception of Wednesdays before 10:30am, and I’m always happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and routine. Whether I’m house-sitting or just stopping by to check on your fur babies, my primary focus is keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible to help reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and ensure their environment remains clean and safe. I’m always conscious and respectful of your home, treating it with the same care and consideration I would my own, and ensuring it’s securely locked when I come and go.

“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: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since the day I was born. I grew up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and have loved them more every day. I started dogsitting for family friends and neighbors when I was 12, and have done so for many different people and pets since then. I’ve also worked professionally at a doggy daycare, so I can handle a lot at once! (And a lot of energy!) I’m familiar with working with both small and large dogs, as well as animals with special needs. I grew up caring for a deafblind Australian Shepherd and have fostered dogs with balance disorders, as well as working with disabled dogs during my doggy daycare time. I love animals more than anything and would love to be the person to give your pets a great day! This is my full time job! I am available whenever you need me. My only regular commitments are volunteering with rescue cats and a recurring appointment on Fridays. Otherwise, I’m able to dedicate as much time as your pets need from me. I’ve worked with clients with a variety of preferences for how their animals are cared for - just let me know! I can stay in the house as long as you need, let your dogs out as frequently as needed, and follow whatever feeding and care instructions your pet requires. I’ve petsat in anything from an apartment to a large house and I’m comfortable in everything in between. Let me know how I can tailor your pet’s care to what they need!
