“Valerie is so kind! So amazing! She was very attentive and sent photos throughout the day to keep me updated. As well as taking care of her just as well as I would if not better! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Annie had a great day with Joshua, Jennifer and company! She made friends with new humans, dogs and cats, and I managed to catch up on several things at home. Annie will go back again next week. I feel quite secure about her care there and she was happy and relaxed when I picked her up.”
“Denise was amazing. Coffee gets anxiety being away from me and she was able to calm him down and he even jumped up in her lap for a nap by the middle of the day.”
“Claire was patient and kind with our younger rescue dog, Quince, who can get stressed in new environments. Our senior dog, Duncan, seemed to do great. We appreciated the pictures of their day and were happy they were comfortable enough to settle in for a snooze. Their home seemed warm and inviting with plenty of comfy spaces to cuddle up. Claire had some good insight for future visits, and we hope to be able to have our boys in her care in the near future.”
“Sending Chase for the 1st time to a dog care is a little bit exciting and little worried for us thinking if how he will behave. But our experience with Joel& Crystal we can say is a great experience, Playing and meeting with new friends. Easy to communicate with them with pictures and update, feeling ease when our away.. Thanks Joel&Crystal, will surely book with you again nextime..”
“Michelly was kind, welcoming, and flexible. Lavinia had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and we will definitely be signing up with Michelly any other time we need a daycare date!”
“I couldn't ask for a better sitter for my dog Juniper. She felt right at home in Jamie's house and with her family. They gave her lots of attention throughout the day and even took her to hang out with the neighbors' dogs. Jamie sent me updates and lots of pictures throughout the day and that really helped to ease my anxiety while at work. 10/10 would recommend to everyone for dog sitting and I will definitely be bringing Juniper back to Jamie in the future!!!”
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: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“Jennifer and Josh are absolutely incredible! They are genuine, trustworthy, and truly have a deep love for dogs. We could not have asked for better people to care for our little boy, Max. From the moment we met them, we knew he was in the best hands. They treated Max like one of their own, giving him all the love, attention, and care he needed while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and truly cared for. We trust them 100% and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their dog the way they would themselves. Thank you, Jennifer and Josh — you’re amazing!”
“Had a very nice meet and greet with Ruthie and Ollie. My pooch seem very comfortable in her home, he absolutely loved the backyard. Ruthie is very conscientious and attentive to Valdez’s needs. Highly recommend.”
“Sabrina was extra thorough when I booked with her. She made sure she had all of my dogs medical information and various other things. They sent me a bunch of photos of her throughout the day and I have no doubt my dog will feel at home when I have to board her with them! She came home and was exhausted, which was a nice break for me because my dog is hig energy and a lot of work!”
“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”
“My dogs were happy and healthy every time I picked them up, which is the most important factor. Diane was communicative, friendly, flexible, and accommodating. I appreciated her going out of her way to treat me and my dogs well.”
“I’ve never been more pleased with a Rover booking! She ensured that both I and my pup, June felt comfortable and safe. Cierra even dealt with an upset tummy my pup unexpectedly had. Would recommend to anyone!!”
“Alisa was an absolute god-send; we just moved to the area and had had an absolutely hellish arrival (flat tires, extra days off work, etc) and contacted her last minute so we could have time to unpack and regroup. She was SO empathetic to our situation, and did absolutely everything in her power to make things as easy on us as possible. Luna came home happy and exhausted, and you could truly tell that she’d had an amazing day. You can also tell from the get go that she’s a genuine animal lover—10 out of 10 recommend!!”
“Maple Bacon had the most wonderful stay with Mattea and her pups! I was nervous to leave Maple somewhere new but she sent soo many updates to reassure me. Maple can't wait to stay with her again!”
About: I’m a college student at the university and am in town all summer for my part time job. It’s currently slow season so I’m not getting as many hours. I would love to be outside more and would love to take dogs on some good walks and adventures! I’m also down to just come and check in on your indoor pets and spend sometime with them while you’re away! I’ve been around cats and dogs ever since I was little. My family currently have a cat named Aero (7) that we’ve had since he was 2 weeks old, and two Great Pyrenees, one being our older girl Novi, and the other being our 2 year old puppy Major! They’re both over 100 lbs so I’m comfortable with larger dogs (and shedding!) I also have my own cat that lives with me named Ronnie (7) that I adopted a year ago! I’m currently in a couple online summer classes which is very flexible with my day, and have a part time job at Duck Store events. There’s not a lot of events going on at the university right now so my hours are very minimal at this time. I do live in an apartment but will make up for it with going on many good walks! There is a cat in the apartment however. If going to your home, my whole time there would be just to entertain and take care of the pet and would go off of your needs and wants for them!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eugene
Ruthie is fantastic. Great with people, but even better with dogs!!! Trustworthy, experienced - we were very lucky to find her on Rover and will use her again when we're in Eugene. Our pup Presto had a wonderful day - came back tired and very happy! Highest rating possible... thank you Ruthie.
Alisa watched our dogs years ago and we got on the app on a whim trip to Eugene and she was still available and watched our dogs again. She is great with them and provides me with a sense of ease. I don’t have any stress leaving them with her and she has a great yard for them to enjoy.
Denise was great at communicating and flexibility with leaving mochi . We were in town for a wedding and in a pickle . I rarely feel comfortable leaving her with a stranger but felt so comfortable with Denise after we met her . Mochi was happy and content when we picked her up !
Rosa is lovely. She communicates well, asks great questions about how to make your pet most comfortable, and has a kind, calming demeanor. My dog was able to stay at her place for daycare for two days and by the second he was excited to see her immediately after we parked. Would certainly have her pet sit my pup again.
Claire was an absolute lifesaver! We needed someone to take care of Peppa on very short notice so I could attend my niece’s graduation, and Claire stepped in without hesitation. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring. Peppa was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during her stay. Claire kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away enjoying such an important family event. It’s never easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Claire made the entire experience stress-free. I am incredibly grateful for her flexibility, reliability, and the love she showed Peppa. I would absolutely trust her with Peppa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter. Thank you, Claire!
Cassie was a wonderful host for my pup! Mahogany got along with Tilly like an old friend, and Cassie sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently throughout the day. Their house is basically across the street from one of Hog’s favorite dog parks and he got to spend a bunch of time there! He was happy and tired after a day full of adventure! Highly recommended!
An excellent place for my pup ! They are truly nice people, it’s evident that they care about their dog and the pups that come to visit them! I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with them and he settled in right away, happily sniffing the yard and racing around the big tree in back. I appreciated that Kelsey took time to do a little fun extra training with him and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. We will definitely book more!
Ava was wonderful with Moon! This was daycare in her home, and I really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was. She made sure Moon felt comfortable right away and really catered to his love of fetch, which meant a lot to me. I also loved that he received so much love and attention from her roommates, it felt like he had a whole little community caring for him. You can tell Ava genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she cares for, and she kept me at ease throughout the day. I’d absolutely trust her with Moon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Stella was wonderful with my pup! She watched Moon for daycare in her home and was incredibly patient and sweet with him. She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he had plenty of time to enjoy his favorite activity, fetch. When I dropped him off the next day, he was genuinely excited to see her again, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he felt with her. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him and the communication throughout the stay. I’ll definitely be booking Stella again when I’m in town for work!
Elaina is the best! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she took great care of him. He got lots of one on one attention, play time, and exercise outside. I don’t feel secure with just any sitter, but I felt very relaxed knowing he was in great hands with Elania. 12/10 :)
Madyson kept Penny in her home while I needed to be away all day. I liked that I was able to see the walk they went on and some photos of Penny during the day. I appreciated how communicative Madyson has been about this day of daycare and about our upcoming boarding. I feel that my shy little dog will be well cared for while I'm out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Eugene on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Eugene commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 237 sitters in Eugene, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
