“Friendly & straight forward communication, sent pics of the cutie while we were away which made my family so happy to see. Could tell our family doggo was being taking care of, getting loves & enjoying her time w/Erin while we were away. Will be referring her to others & booking again if possible!”
About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.
“Whitney was awesome and followed directions perfectly, even after I had to change it up because the cats were fighting the night before I left. Her communication was great and she asked thoughtful questions. The cats were happy and healthy when I returned.”
About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I only accept dogs that stand 17 inches or less at the shoulder and weigh 30lbs or less. I do occasionally make exceptions to this rule for senior dogs up to 40lbs that are very good with small dogs, calm, low energy and slow moving. I also have a maximum of 5 dogs staying with me at a time (which is a group of 8 if you include my own 3 dogs) and this keeps the overall energy more calm and less chaotic. I don’t accept Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pitbull Terriers, Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Huskys, German Shepherds and Chow Chows or their mixes due to these breeds not being a good fit for my small dog environment (a small percentage of 15% or less is okay if it came up in your dog’s mixed breed DNA test though). Please keep in mind I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament and your dog needs to be friendly and well accepted by my pack during a daycare trial or meet and greet in order to be approved for boarding. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. I have a house with a dog door and securely fenced yard. Your dog will have frequent potty breaks and full access to the house and yard. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available, in a soft sided crate on our bed (or on the floor next to the bed), or in an exercise pen. If your dog is small enough, comfortable and tolerant of other dogs around them, and sleeps peacefully then they will be allowed to sleep in the bed with us, but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crate trained, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed any other way. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I use tall pet gates to ensure all entrances are secure when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escapes. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences an illness or injury during their stay I will contact your dog’s usual veterinarian. In case of an emergency after hours I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has an stress-free, comfortable stay with me.
“I was very nervous about having to leave my senior chaweeni for a few nights. Kelsie was so wonderful and eased my anxiety. She took very good care of Koda, sent me pictures and updates on how he was doing. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”
About: I’m a mom to a toddler, preteen and two of my own pets. I’ve had big dogs my whole life, & various other types of pets. I’d love to help take some stress off your plate by taking care of your pet just like you would! I’ve taken care of many pets throughout the years, but decided to finally join Rover recently. If you have a last minute request, I can usually accommodate. Though one day notice is preferred so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I strive to be as flexible as possible. So please don’t hesitate to chat with me if you need adjustment on pricing or availability. Feel free to ask me any questions and reach out if you need anything! My first name is Janet, but I do prefer to be called by my middle name, Ruby. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to adhere to your requested times, whether that’s early morning, mid-day, or late evening. Weekends are perfectly fine too. I strive to be open, honest, trustworthy, and respectful. I believe leaving your home just as you left it and taking care of your pet just as you would is vital to my beliefs and services.
“Lew was sooo awesome with our 2 cats! We eere able to relax and enjoy our trip as we knew the "babies" were well looked after. She even went so far as to put the garbage out for us on the street, and swept up the kitties messes! What a way to ho above and beyond!”
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!
“Jacqueline is the best!! I have a notoriously difficult (shy and reactive) dog that she handled and cared for very well. She graciously navigated the maze of a gate set up we have for him. She sent timely updates with pictures and is very easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who loves their pets.”
About: My first pet sitting job was when I was 3 years old, and I loved doing animals of all kinds! I’ve taken care of lots of cats, dogs, and volunteered for a horse therapy program. My family got a puppy when I was in middle school, and I loved doing some basic training and getting to watch him grow up! I’m currently a graduate student working remotely, so I have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets and give them lots of attention! Outside of occasional meetings, my schedule is very flexible and well suited to pet care. I know hard it can be to leave your pets, so I hope to be as communicative as possible and send as many pictures as you’d like!
“Adria knows animals! We were so thankful for her not only helping us with some obedience problems (big puppies who don't know their size), but showing us how to maintain the miracles she worked while with our puppies. Will 100% book her again!”
About: I spent years caring for my own dog and know how hard it was to trust others with him when I had to be away. I'm an avid hiker and find joy in walking dog and just being with animals. I know all of the great walks being a native to Eugene! In addition, I pay attention to details and understand the importance of accommodating the reassuring parts of a dog's daily life and routine. I truly would love to know your animal and welcome them into my heart. I'm happy to provide safe and reliable drop-in care for dogs who need a friendly attentive human, a potty break, walk feeding, and maybe a little baby talk.... Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I currently work for myself so I have plenty of flexibility during the workweek. I can stop in from 7 am - 4 pm most weekdays and would like some reliable weekly stops. I provide care in your home where your dog can feel safe and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions carefully and stay attentive to your dog's needs. I care about doors being locked, gates being latched, and dogs being where they need to be when I leave. I'd love to meet you before the first visit to make sure you feel at ease with having me help.
“Me and my poodle had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She was super adaptable, met with us beforehand which gave me peace of mind, and kept me updated at every check in. She made being out of town less stressful and I felt confident my little son🐩 was well cared for 😊 thank you!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fir Grove
Jillian did a fantastic job of taking care of our precious Gemma cat. My cat usually doesn't like other people but she warmed right up to Jillian and became friends instantly. Gemma was well loved and taken care of and I will be using Jillian's services again next time we leave town. Thanks again Jill! ❤️😽
As a first time user of Rover, it gave us a lot of confidence to meet Tyler in advance at our house and review the details of cat care. Tyler was right on time every day and sent me pictures which was so lovely. Even my moody cat warmed up to him after a few days! I think he did a great job and I plan on bringing him back for our next trip!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
