“My pup adores Teresa! He's calmer and better behaved since she started walking him. I always look forward to the notification that she's picked him up cause I know he's safe and happy!”

“It was so great to meet Jillian. Mellow can sometimes be slow to warm up to people but Jillian was very thoughtful and calm with her approach and moved at a pace that suited us, Mellow was sitting for treats and coming in close for cuddles in no time! We are looking forward to booking future visits and walks. Thanks for having compassion and an understanding of our dog reactive dog and being a part of his journey!”

“Erin was wonderful with my boys —I booked her last minute and she showed up happy, helpful, and ready to work. The dogs loved her, and I’ll definitely book again!”

“Karina has done an amazing job with my dogs. She was very efficient in all of her work. She is a great communicator, making sure that she can gather all the information needed to care for Ivy and Charles. She also communicated with me and even sent photos of each time she came over to walk the dogs. She spent much time with each pet, making sure that they had all of their needs met and also giving each one love and attention. I highly recommend her to care for and walk other pets. I will definitely be booking more walks in the near future. Thank you Karina ?. - Jessica, Ivy & Charles”

“Madison did a great job with my two special-needs pups! One is in a stroller and has to be taken to the grass to potty, and the other is dog reactive. She handled them together like a pro! She showed up right on time as well. Highly recommend.”

“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. As a Greenhill dog walker for 3 years, I have experience with all varieties of dog's energy levels and leash skills. I have been a foster to puppies and socially awkward dogs, so I am fine with dogs still learning manners. I have a calming presence that puts shy dogs at ease. I have fostered many puppies and can help teach them the basics. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I have lots of availability to come play with your pups and provide enrichment throughout the day. If you pick me to take care of your fur babies, I will follow all instructions you provide and will make sure to provide them any enrichment they need. I have experience with dogs that love to shred, dogs that want to play 700 rounds of fetch, or maybe they just want to relax with a chew while supervised.
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.
About: I have had pets my whole life- I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas! I understand that all pets have different needs. I can be there for you when you can't, and will make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I love dogs and other pets too! I currently have 2 cats and want to make all cats my friend (even though they have their own thoughts on this!). I had a Frenchie for 10 amazing years, and grew up with Labs. I have a flexible schedule and am available most times. I can be available for pet routines or drop in visit, morning, mid day or afternoon/evening. I can come to you- in home visits, or dog walking. I am central to Eugene and have a reliable car for visits. I can visit mornings or afternoons.
About: Hi there! I'm Cayla—your new favorite pet sitter. While I may be new to Rover, I'm anything but new to animal care. With a background in animal husbandry and hands-on experience across both private settings and reputable institutions, I've worked with an incredible range of animals—from playful pups and cuddly cats to otters, fish, and even sharks. I’m known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to reach, with an open schedule ready to accommodate your needs. Clear communication is important to me, and I take pride in providing safe, enriching, and attentive care to every animal I meet. Whether you're heading out of town or just need an extra set of hands, I’ll treat your pets like my own—ensuring their comfort and your peace of mind. Let’s build a care plan that gives your pets the love they deserve and you the freedom to travel worry-free. Currently I work a flexible schedule delivering for DoorDash. This allows me to easily design my day:week around the needs of my clients and their animals. I am available for check ins, potty breaks, walks, visits, etc through out the day, and prioritize my clients and their pets. I live in a house with dogs who are not friendly to others so I would be unable to take care of your pets in my home but I am more than willing to do what I can at your home!
“Josh was Incredible! My dog, Ziggy, is a bit apprehensive meeting new people and especially welcoming people into our home. Josh listened to my requests for their first meeting and had such good vibes and body language that it was a mere matter of minutes before Ziggy was literally eating out of his hands and Ziggy had no problem with Josh following us upstairs and hanging out inside. I didn't doubt for a second that Josh could handle Ziggy's antics and his strength on the leash. Josh sent daily updates and pictures of Ziggy out on walks and snuggling with him on the couch. I had a friend checking in on my kitty but Josh noticed that she (the cat) had thrown up in the spare room and not only let me know about it, and kept an eye on her mood/behaviors but even took it upon himself to clean up the mess! I was blown away. Ziggy had a great time and I will definitely book Josh for future pet care. Thank you so much, Josh!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!
“Julia was super kind and understanding of my complicated dogs. She seemed knowledgeable and like she cared. She listened very well to all my needs and worked hard to accommodate.”

About: I've had many cats and dogs growing up, at one point I even lived on a ranch and took care of horses and llamas. I've had two jobs working front desk at a veterinary office and I used to volunteer every Saturday at SNAP in Palo Cedro: a second-hand store and cat adoption center. I know how to give medications, administer insulin for diabetic animals, and even administer fluids for kitties. I am also CPR certified for cats and dogs. I have one dog and one cat of my own and can give more references if needed. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I work a 9-5 but don't mind walking/checking in on your pets before or after work, even at lunch if time allows. If you need dog walking or check-in services during the week, feel free to message me. I'm also pretty open on the weekends. I am unfortunately not providing home services at this time as I have a dog who can be nervous and fearful around other dogs and needs more training before we can have other dogs in the house.
About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️). Looking forward to taking care of your kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have availability nightly, and would love to be a help for your pets! I always ensure your pets are safe, secure, and happy when taking care of them. I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.

It was so great to meet Jillian. Mellow can sometimes be slow to warm up to people but Jillian was very thoughtful and calm with her approach and moved at a pace that suited us, Mellow was sitting for treats and coming in close for cuddles in no time! We are looking forward to booking future visits and walks. Thanks for having compassion and an understanding of our dog reactive dog and being a part of his journey!

Nicole was absolutely perfect with Mellow today! He is dog reactive and has stranger danger so has a few complicated things to work though, but Nicole was fab and took the time to build his trust step by step. He was taking treats and leaning in for cuddles in no time. Nicole really understands his body language and need for space while out on walks as we work through his reactivity. We can't wait for our next visit:) thank you!

We are SO happy we found Christina! Her service is amazing and meets my dog's physical, mental and social needs. We've been looking for someone who does off-leash adventures and are beyond excited about continuing to book with Christina. She is clearly knowledgable, responsable, and loves dogs. My dog comes home from her adventures happy, tired, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Highly recommend you reach out to Christina!

Just finished our last walk with Charlie. We are sad to say bye. I broke my wrist so Charlie met me at the Dogpark once a week with my (2) 100 lb dobies. I couldn’t have exercised them without him through my recovery. What a lifesaver! Easy going, laid back, pleasant and easy to converse with. He was great with Hoot and Holler even though they aren’t great leash walkers. Highly recommend.
