“Sydnee did such a great job with my dog! She accommodated for his anxiety and was also super flexible for my crazy schedule. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much Sydnee!”
“Dani is amaaaaaazing. I have a super shy cat who I knew would most likely hide the whole time and a couple birds who live in my office/a separate room… and she was super flexible and helpful when I realized my cat might need more space and time to eat since she hides when new people are around without me there. Super kind, professional and a good person all around. In the middle of a move and even with boxes/my home in the stages of moving, Dani made everything so simple and seamless while I was gone. I so appreciate her and highly recommend this fabulous fur (& feathered) family professional!”
“We love Kendra. She is so practical and responsible, and our dog and two kitties really enjoy hanging out with her. I appreciate her leaving the house so tidy and the sheets washed.”
“Brandy was great. She went above and beyond what she had to do. My dog has separation anxiety and he loved her and was well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Cayla was wonderful! She sent us lots of pictures and was very patient with our anxious pup. She also made sure our house was locked tight when she left. Would definitely recommend.”
“Julia was so great with our pups and we came home to very happy and well cared for dogs. We have one who is newly adopted and we were leaving him with a sitter for the first time so were unsure how he would do and one who is just an overall anxious girl who likes to hunger strike when she is out of her routine and Julia was wonderful and patient with both of them to make sure they were comfortable and got what they needed. It felt so nice to not have to worry about the pups while we were away. Thank you Julia!!”
“This is the first time using Rover. Rhiana reached out before accepting and we did a meet and greet. Our three beagles felt comfortable with her right away. She was super responsive and communicative. We got texts everyday. She stayed longer each day than we expected. Our dogs enjoyed having her at the house. The pictures she sent proved it! I recommend her for anyone!”
“Jade took such good care of our elderly cat, and texted daily to let us know how she was doing. She also took care of the house, and it looked exactly as we had left it. I would highly recommend Jade as a housesitter.”
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.”
“Olivia was great caring for our 2 goofy girls while we were on vacation over the holidays and she even made sure they were still happy and fed when our return flight got delayed. I would not hesitate to have Olivia watch our dogs 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!”
“Ada was great with our full house of pups. Two required medicine and tried to get into trouble but Ada managed it all seamlessly and took amazing care of our dogs. Would love to have her care for our dogs again in the future.”
“Charlene took fabulous care of our dog and house while we were away. She is very professional and responsive. I would not hesitate to ask her to stay again and would heartily recommend!”
“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”
“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!”
“She did great! I was updated on my pups throughout my trip and felt very comfortable with her watching them. She left the house so close to how I left it, you couldn't even tell someone stayed there. Will book again. ☺️”
“Abbigail took excellent care of our 5 small dogs, three of which are seniors and some that had special needs and required extra care like tooth brushing and medications. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and he was happy when we returned because she ensured he wasn’t left alone too long. She sent detailed updates and picture so I felt completely comfortable knowing they were receiving everything they needed. She also smoothly handled a situation where one dog got part of his dental treat stuck in his teeth and she was able to safely remove it. I could tell all the dogs loved her too. We would enthusiastically have her sit for us again!”

Ashley was flexible and adapted to provide for Marshall’s needs. She sent pictures and even though our reception was terrible, we greatly enjoyed the photos when we received them. She left the house cleaner than when we left! I’d definitely recommend her services and we already have her booked for another upcoming vacation!
Justine was great. She watched my dog and house for a week. She took him on two good walks a day and when she sent pictures, my dog always looked so happy. She was responsive anytime I reached out. Not only that, she took great care of my house - I came home to a completely clean house. She even watered my garden daily and accepted a package requiring a signature. Highly recommend!

Darian was great. The house was in good shape when I returned from vacation the dogs were happy and healthy. One of the dogs had ear problems and they addressed that and the other needed antibiotics and they contacted the veterinarian and had the prescription refilled. I will have Darian back to sit the dogs again!
Could not ask for a better sitter than Kristin!!! She was communicative, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. It was obvious she took wonderful care of our dogs during a 2 week overnight. I feel so lucky to have found such a great sitter and would recommend her to everyone.
Kendra cared for Annie, Cooper, and Luna (golden retriever, orange tabby cat, and goldfish!) for four days. She kept them all well-fed, entertained, and happy! She was great with communication and sending sweet photos. Kendra took good care of my house, too! I look forward to using her pet-sitting services again, soon. Thank you, Kendra!
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!
April was on time when delivering care to our senior cat. She made sure he was fed exactly twice a day at his scheduled feedings and provided pictures a long the way. She was the perfect fit for us and you can tell she loves cat and is very respectful for their needs and space! April, thank you again!
We (and our cats) loved Felix! This was our first time using rover and our first time being away from our pets for a week but Felix helped ease any anxiousness. They sent us daily photo updates about our cats and provided us with updates on how they were reacting to having someone new in the house. When our toilet decided to act up Felix provided above and beyond service with patching it up until we got home. Our home was clean and our cats were cared for. Thanks again Felix!
Jourdan was a fantastic sitter for our dogs and home. She was a great communicator and went the extra mile every day to make our dogs happy and comfortable. Whether it was giving them lots of engaging play time, or calming downtime with cuddles and rest, the dogs and our home were in great hands with Jourdan. We look forward to having Jourdan help in the future (and so do our dogs!)
Cierra was very responsive when I needed to book a pet sitter. She stayed at my house and engaged with my corgi Rory. She exercised her even when my dog wasn’t willing to go on walks. She made sure my dog was comfortable without me there and was prepared for all types of issues. Cierra is also very loving and adored Rory. She is also reasonably priced for the level of attentiveness and care she provides. I would recommend her to anyone in the Eugene area.
We were so pleased with Cayla! We’ve tried a couple others through Rover but this has been the best so far. Cayla took incredible care of both the dogs and house. Her prompt communication was much appreciated. After our trip we immediately starting to plan out our summer needs with her because we would love to have her back.

FAQs for House Sitting - River Road
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in River Road on Rover is $48.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 861 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across River Road. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 River Road 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 River Road 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 River Road 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in River Road. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
