“Penny was so amazing! She went above and beyond what we asked and helped us out when we were in a real jam. Isabel loved having her and we can't wait til when we need her again.”
“Abbigail was wonderful! She was very polite, professional, and took excellent care of our three dogs. She took our older dog on multiple walks as requested and followed their feeding schedule to a tee. We really appreciated her attention to detail and how well she cared for our pups. We’ll definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Ada did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. She also brought in my mail and packages. She put my trash and recycling out on the right days too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Katelyn did an EXCELLENT job of watching our pup Chunk in our home. She was with him most of every day rather than just popping in quickly feed him and let him out. He got lots of exercise and ball time. She contacted us when she had a question about whether a new kind of treat was ok for him. And we came home to a happy dog and a clean and tidy house. We would use Katelyn again in a heartbeat!”
“Jennifer is wonderful. Communicates clearly and is gentle and soft spoken with my high energy Frenchie. I can go to work knowing he is in good hands. She sends updates and pictures during her time at the house and leaves things in order. I would recommend her.”
“Amy was a great sitter! She watched my dog and home overnight, and gave my furbaby lots of attention. She was communicative by sending me an update and picture of zordon. And the house was in perfect shape and clean when I got home.”
“Alivia sat for Sage over the Christmas holidays while we were out of town and was fantastic. She kept us updated and took great care him. We always feel a little wary leaving him but it makes it a lot easier having someone like Alivia to take care of him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your pets!”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
About: I’ve had pets all my life and have worked as a nutritionist at a holistic pet store for close to 4 years. I love animals and I love interacting with them! I currently work a part time job that only gives me 20-25 hours a week. Other than that I am completely available, as long as it fits into my current schedule. I cannot take animals into my own apartment, but I am more than happy to care for animals in their own home. I am well experienced in keeping a close eye on animals and love communicating with owners about their pets wellbeing.
About: I have always loved animals! I have taken care of many animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types!! Anything you need I can do and will do happily! I am completely available during the entire week I would just have to work around my classes which I have very large breaks in between each for! Whenever I am petsitting I always leave the house cleaner than I found it, and make sure the pets are fed and have clean water and have been taken out and used the bathroom
“Julia is a fantastic sitter! This is the second time I’ve worked with her but this was the first time she’s stayed overnight and it was a holiday! She’s so reliable, cares about your dogs and gives good updates and lots of pictures! She’s also very good at giving meds to a sometimes difficult dog and when my dog got an upset stomach, she communicated with me right away. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her!! We will definitely be working with Julia again!”
“Alix patiently, capably, and graciously handled a weeklong housesitting stint with a well-trained but not-so-easy hound. Excellent communicator too. She's first on my list for future needs!”
“Rachel was wonderful, she followed all my instructions and sent me photos everyday of my two girls, Irish Setters. She let them sleep with her which they loved. My home was spotless and all water bowls were filled. I will definitely hire Rachel again.”
“Adria has taken care of our 13-year old corgi, WallE, twice over the past couple of months. They are old friends and it is endearing to see WallE brighten up and trot as fast as his short legs could carry him when he sees Adria. They always have a great time and have the pictures to prove it. When we are on vacation, so is WallE…with Adria! We highly recommend Adria if you’re looking for a pet and house sitter you can trust. She’s well worth it!”
“Nathan was fabulous! He was very calming when meeting the dogs for the first time, and he did everything we asked just perfectly. We will definitely call him again!”
“Rachel was a fantastic house sitter. I have a dog that can be quite shy, upset when meeting new people. Rachel literally had her eating snacks out of her hand almost immediately. I knew then I could leave Ursa in good hands. My home was cleaned, she even helped me organize some belongings as I had just moved in and my house was disheveled. She had a video playing on the tv, soothing music for dogs 💕 Oh, yeah, I also have a cat. I would highly recommend Rachel and I will be having her return do another visit soon. Thanks!”

Abbigail was wonderful! She was very polite, professional, and took excellent care of our three dogs. She took our older dog on multiple walks as requested and followed their feeding schedule to a tee. We really appreciated her attention to detail and how well she cared for our pups. We’ll definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!
Scott is very reliable. This was the second time we hired him to housesit with our dog Max, and we never worried about Max once. Scott sends great updates with photos and videos that made us smile. He and Max clearly got along. He also proactively takes care of things without needing a lot of extra instructions. And when our son came to pick Max up a couple days before we got back as arranged, everything was smooth and simple. Thanks, Scott, for giving us the opportunity to have a great getaway with peace of mind!
Linda was great! She arrived on time and took excellent care of our three dogs, including our two young puppies. She paid close attention to detail and followed our specific feeding instructions, which we really appreciated. She also made sure to walk our older dog as requested and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. It was reassuring knowing our dogs were in good hands. We were so happy with her care that we've already booked Linda to come back and watch our gang again! Thank you, Linda!
We have had Jourdan here to dog sit a number of times now, both long and short stays and she’s always wonderful. Our dog adores her and is so excited when we tell him she’s coming to visit. She sends lots of photo updates that show he’s getting his meals, exercise, enrichment and lots of play and affectionate attention. We always feel 100% secure hiring Jourdan to stay in our home with our buddy. We come home to a happy dog and well-cared-for house.
Sarah spent two weeks house sitting our three charges, including an elderly terrier who is less than cooperative around new people. Everyone was in great shape when we returned and the house looked like it did when we left. We will definitely use Sara again, when needed.
Cayla was wonderful with Buddy while I was in Scottsdale! He means the world to me, and I’m so grateful she took such great care of him while I was away. Having someone I could trust with him gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cayla again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Cayla! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Eugene is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $71 per night. 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.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eugene. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
