About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 (21 now) however not all the families had pets but, it always made my night when I also got the opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I started focusing on animal care / house sitting more as I got older. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and have a heck of a lot of free time on my schedule! I can make most any times of the day work. Unfortunately I cannot offer care in my home however I am happy to drive to your home most any time of day when help may be needed!
About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.
“This was a repeat booking and Skyla did a great job again. She looked after our patio plants in addition to caring for our three cats. One of our cats is dealing with recurring pancreatitis and bowel issues, so he has detailed feeding instructions and we need to know if he's continuing to eat regularly and has regular bowel movements. Skyla handled keeping track of all of this very well, and communicates well too.”

About: Twenty plus years of fun taking care of cats, dogs of different breeds, temperaments, ages, and sizes, and even some chickens. Including Noah's ark - a rabbit, hamster, rat, and fish. I have completed Rover's safety dog video. I grew up with dogs. My energy level is low-key and calm, which enables pets to relax. I give daily text updates and send photos. I have experience in giving shots (to my cat, who had diabetes), playing tug of war, throwing the ball, and taking Fido for walks. Currently I am not working a permanent job, so my availability is wide open (other than Sunday morning commitments & taking care of my place each day). I care for your pets in your home in the way you want them cared for. I give them the time to get used to me & treat them with gentleness and love. Making sure they are safe and having fun is important to me.
About: Dogs are the best creatures. I adore them in all the shapes and colors they come in! I have been around dogs my whole life and have cared for multiple dogs at a time. I look forward to befriending your beast!🐾💖 As a college student, my hours are flexible and easy to work around. Looking after your pet is a dream job and definitely helps when I’m missing my own pets while being away from home. I would love to take this opportunity and share my love and care to your pets! I am very familiar with the routine of caring for pets in others houses. I am responsible, clean, and committed to doing the very best work I can for you and your pet.
About: I provide reliable, structured, and genuinely attentive care — not just “watching” your dog, but actively engaging with them to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds and high-energy pups, and I tailor care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether that means long walks, structured play, mental stimulation, or just a calm presence for anxious dogs, I adjust to what helps them feel safest. I have experience reinforcing basic training (sit, stay, and cool tricks), and maintaining routines. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. What sets me apart is communication and consistency — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. If you want picture or messaged every 5 minutes I can do that! I treat every dog like they’re my own, with safety, structure, and affection as my top priorities. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, anytime. My job is also very flexible so I can always give your pet the attention they need at any time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, organized, and pet-safe environment free of hazards, and I closely supervise all pets. I never leave dogs unattended in situations that could put them at risk, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed, use leashes on walks at all times, and remain alert to surroundings for safety. Communication is key — I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, positive experience every time.

“This was our first time using Kristine and she was great. She was able to help us out on short notice by adjusting her schedule. She responded quickly to our questions and communicated very well. Our normally reactive dog warmed up to her quickly thanks to her calm and secure presence. Kristine followed the details of our care request and we were very happy with the service she provided. We plan to call on her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Ali! I'm a 23-year-old college student with a lifelong passion for animals. With years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and ages, I specialize in providing personalized and loving care for both dogs and cats. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or medication, I ensure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. Trust me to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I am currently working part time retail but have a decently open schedule thanks to flexible hours! I am happy to share my work schedule upon request as my days off can switch sometimes. I also am a college student! Happy to share my schedule and answer any questions :) I am very attentive and more than happy to watch your beloved pet at your home or take them on walks so they can soak up the beautiful weather and nature surrounding us!

About: I have done many types of care giving. In addition to pet care, this includes elder care and hospice care. Attentiveness and being attuned to the emotional connection and body language is essential in sharing in care. I am working part time two or three days a week but due to an injury am looking to do less physically taxing work. With my current availability, returning to pet care sounds in alignment with my schedule and life. I think about how much love and care I would want given to my cats, and I give that much to others. Often, some pets experience some stress and duress when away from their people, and so being a safe, loving, calm and playful person is the main goal. My main values as I enter others space is the comfort of the pet, respect of the owners and their home, and being attuned to the animals needs.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 18. Ive worked at multiple doggy day cares and training. I dont have any pets myself so your animal will have my full attention. I also take care of cats. I grew up with a ton in my family home. Im currently unemployed, I have been aboard. Im taking my time to find a job that involves pets. So my attention will be fully on your pet. I can care for your pets in whatever way you possible require. I have all the free time in the world to make sure your pet is taken care of.
About: With 10 years of dog walking experience, I bring a loving and skilled approach to pet care. I'm experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs. I've spent years caring for family and neighbors' pets, so I'm confident in handling any dog's unique needs with patience, care and love. I am currently a student at the university taking online classes and working Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons so my schedule is pretty much open any other morning, day or evenings! To care for pets in a client's home, I like to have a good understanding of their routines and needs. Maintaining consistent walks and playtime as well as feeding times. I make sure to keep the home tidy and or as it looked when i walked in.
“Sarah is FANTASTIC! This was my first time using Rover and couldn’t be more satisfied with the care she had for my dog. Was willing to meet with us prior to the visits and get acquainted. Shared photos/videos of my dog, updated on walks, playtime, feeding/water, and overall care. Highly recommend and will use her again. Thanks Sarah!”

About: I've always grew up with cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, you name it and I've maybe had it! I love taking care of them and showing how important they are to us. I also have three cats of my own :) I have three cats of my own, two tabbies and one black cat - I have dedicated routines with them such as feeding them at certain times and making sure theyre getting plenty of play time and affection I'm a very gentle person and respect all boundaries when it comes to people and animals! I love knowing all about anything and love taking care of pets (:
“Yael is great! She made sure to spend time playing with our cat(even brought toys herself since we are negligent parents). We all enjoyed pictures and videos she sent throughout the visits. Looking forward to working with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, having grown up with three dogs where it was my responsibility to make sure they were fed, walked, clean, and loved! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible at the moment! I will work with owners to make sure scheduling of services works smoothly for both parties! Our home has a grass yard and a safe, quiet neighborhood with multiple parks within walking distance, perfect for the daily exercise needed for your pup!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eugene
Skyla was an absolutely wonderful canine caregiver. She adapted to our dog’s schedule, sent us regular updates and photos, and even deftly navigated through a couple of unexpected curveballs that popped up. We knew our pups were happy and being well-cared for, so that was one fewer thing we had to worry about while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to use Skyla again for future trips!

Julia was so kind, accommodating and amazing with our dogs! I have one reactive dog who is nervous around new people, and Julia was so patient with her it made drop ins very easy. Julia also took my puppy to daycare and was very flexible when my travel plans changed last minute and when my puppy needed to be picked up from daycare early. I highly recommend her to anyone with big dogs or reactive dogs or dogs in general. She’s gonna be pet sitting for us soon again and I have full confidence in leaving my dogs with her!!!

Colette was great. Since this was her vist time watching Pippa, she made time for a meet and greet the day before. Pippa warmed up to her right away. Colette arrived on time and Pippa was happy to see her again. We were sent pictures and notes during the sitting that were reassuring. Colette followed all our instructions and we will call on her again.

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with both of our pets during our week away. She handled drop-in visits to our home with total reliability and great communication. We always felt fully in the loop with timely updates and photos, and she followed every detail we shared perfectly. Our dog Summer can be a little anxious with new people, and Jennifer handled her so thoughtfully, getting her outside to play right away, reading her body language, and using treats when needed to redirect. By the end of the week, Summer clearly was comfortable with her. She kept an eye on the house, made sure doors were locked, grabbed packages for us, and genuinely went above and beyond. Coming home to pets that were relaxed, well-fed, and clearly cared for made a good difference. We’d book Jennifer again in a heartbeat!

Nicole is fantastic. She took great care of our dog and cat, kept us updated throughout our trip, and handled unexpected things (like a small accident and a water issue) with calm and kindness. She’s communicative, reliable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We always feel at ease when she’s looking after ours. Highly recommend!

Jaden is a wonderful sitter! She’s very responsive and communicative. My dog is highly anxious and hesitant around everyone, but he was surprisingly immediately happy and playful within seconds of meeting her. I was super nervous to leave him for a trip because I rarely have to, but having her as his sitter settled my worries and I will continue to rebook her!

Kendra was absolutely amazing. We are visiting our son at college and needed a quick, last minute sitter while we went to dinner. She responded immediately and told us where to meet for a quick handoff. We received pictures of Goosey getting a nice walk and cuddles. It’s nice to have someone a familiar for future visits. Five ⭐️s!

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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
