“Dani was very personable and pleasant to work with. Archie really enjoyed her and it was there to receive daily pictures and updates. We will employ her again.”
“Brandy is the best! She requested a meet and greet and we knew right away she'd be a perfect fit. Brandy was great with our fussy, senior dog following her routine perfectly. We came back to a spotless house and really appreciated the frequent updates while we were gone. We can recommend Brandy without hesitation and will absolutely be using her services in the future.”
“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!”
“Rhiana stepped in for us last minute after our original sitter canceled. We couldn't have been more thrilled with how it worked out. Rhiana was great! Always a prompt communicator and gave us lots of picture updates. Looking forward to having her watch our four-legged babies again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Jade. Responded quickly and was very easy going. Our animals adored her and she kept our house orderly. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Kendra got our anxious dog out to do her business and gave her lots of love. All was well--clean house, clean cat boxes--when we returned. And she brought in an unexpected item the neighbors dropped off on short notice. Much appreciated!”
“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!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with all 6 of my babies, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs and I could really tell that she was giving them the best care while we were away! She was great at communicating and asking anything she needed to know. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have been around dogs all my life and have had experience with all kinds of dogs from rottweiler's to chihuahua's and puppies to seniors. I took a small hiatus on pet sitting but had been pet sitting for about 6 years prior and have had experience as a volunteer dog walker at animal shelters and have been fear free certified. I am very patient and gentle, and a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I love all breeds of dogs, and know like people it's the inside that counts not how they look. I am able to stay at your house or just do check in visits. I have also grown up and worked with other animals such as cats, ferrets, reptiles, and fish and can help you with any of your exotic pets as well. If you are booking for house sitting please book a week in advance as I have my own pets I need to make accommodations for. I work full time at an animal shelter and have gained some knowledge of giving medications and have had personal pets who needed medication such as pills or ointment. With my dog we like to go to small quiet dog parks and do nature walks on my days off. On work days we like to cuddle on the couch and watch shows or movies especially on cold days.
“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🤍”
“Trinity was great and watched our dog over the holidays. We got daily photo updates and it was great to know he was in good hands. She was a great communicating prior to watching him and organizing a meet and greet with our dog a few days after we first communicated.”
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.
About: My early childhood was on a farm with about eight different types of animals. After the farm, we had a series of work dogs with advanced training, an Amazon parrot, and many other birds and cats over the years. I have rescued, rehabilitated and rehoused a dozen dogs, I have raised many wonderful animals over the years, but I am currently missing pet time since I lost my darling and aged cat last summer. I am a career licensed massage therapist, and have a knack for instantly connecting with animals as well and as putting them at ease. I have a lot of experience pet and housesitting. All of my clients that had me stay at their house thanked me at length for how clean, fresh smelling and tidy I left their homes. I am happy to accommodate household practices. I have experience with special needs, administering medications, and always enjoy brushing, petting and massaging. I’m usually pretty good at pilling. I love to play with animals as appropriate for their health and well-being. Very much adhere to any language, training practices, schedule, and diet requested by the owner. My goal is always to have you returning to a very happy, healthy animal. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to walk dogs or take a lot of stairs. I work part-time from home so I am always around. I have a very large fenced in backyard. I am happy to host mature dogs here and also visit or stay at your place to facilitate the best environment for your beloved pets. I work part-time right here on the property in 60-90 minute increments. I have plenty of time to spend with some beloved pets. Often the pets that are in my care follow me around the different rooms that I spend time in and lay down next to or on me. I have a cozy three bedroom two-story house with my workspace immediately behind. Owner preference dictates whether or not pets will be allowed on furniture, but there are many nice spaces to relax. I am happy to utilize crates and any other routines but do not require them. I only work part time and spend the majority of the time here on the property. I love to engage with animals, cuddle, play, brush, practice training, and unless the animal does not enjoy it, I cannot resist massaging pets as a career licensed massage therapist. I have a very large fenced in yard with a mature garden that is generally unaffected by hosting pets. I have created a very level lawn and there is a large track that dogs love to run where they can sprint without any holes or rocks to step in or on. I use a leash to go between the door and fenced yard for dogs. Things in my life have changed recently and I very much miss animal time. These days I am unable to go for walks, be dynamic with play or handle a leash if there is any tugging but I can toss a toy and inspire play/yard running. I am very much in tune with any animals in my care and I’m committed to keeping them safe, protected and in their routines that keep them feeling grounded and happy. I believe that draining mental and physical energy keeps animals happy. At your house, I am happy to follow all of your rules and routines. I adore plants and I’m happy to provide care for those as well. I am flexible and real, so I always try to be accommodating within reason.
“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!”
“Rachel is just truly the best. We went on a week vacation while our kitty was going through chemo, and Rachel took fantastic care of her, kept her happy and healthy, and was a sweet snuggle buddy for her, and kept us up to date with photos every day. Couldn't recommend Rachel more highly.”
“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!!”
“Cierra checks all the boxes on being trustworthy and caring for homes and pets! She communicates timely and effectively. She was conscientious about keeping the house in good order, and cleaned up everything as if she wasn't there. And, she was so sweet to my dog that I imagine he was disappointed to see me... I don't want to talk her up this much because I don't want her so busy that she's unavailable for my furry buddy in the future, but it’s a fair assessment of her value. I highly recommend her.”
“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. ☺️”
“Joy is amazing! She stayed with our boys for 4 days and they loved her immediately. She sent us updates throughout the trip and pictures of our pups cuddling on the couch. She left our house clean and tidy which was so nice to come home to. Our pups were happy and well cared for and we will be asking for her help again soon!”
“Ada was great with our two bassett hounds! She was flexible with timing and was very easy to get a hold of! Our younger hound did great with her even though she has high anxiety.”
River Road pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.
Kristin was so great with our two dogs and watching our roommate's cat! They seemed very active and engaged in all the photos she sent, and it sounds like they even had a great time going for a walk with someone new. There was great communication the entire time. Our car broke down on our way home from our trip and Kristin went above and beyond to come back and feed our dogs dinner one last time, even though she had left hours ago. We are so thankful that our babies were taken care of while we were stranded multiple times on the side of the road hours away. Thank you!!! We will absolutely use Kristin again for pet-sitting in our home.
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.
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!
Hannah was punctual kind and thorough! She took excellent care of my pup post-op, took him outside as many times as he asked and gave him lots of snuggles and reassurance. She provided frequent updates and photos and videos and clearly truly loves dogs. Can’t recommend enough! And the pooch approved too!
Ashley is excellent with our fur (and plant) babies! We return to a clean house and well cared-for kitties and pups. Ashley also went above and beyond when we missed our connection and had to stay overnight on our journey home. We will definitely book with Ashley again!
