About: “I’ve owned dogs my whole life, so I know how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, your dog is in trusted hands.” Well I’m currently in high school so it’s better for me to look after pets on the weekends. But I get good grades I’m a mature teen and I know what I’m doing when it comes to pets. I’ve watched my dogs in my home while my parents were out of town. I have lots of experience when it comes to watching dogs and I know how to keep them entertained.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs — from high-energy puppies to sweet senior companions. I'm trained in basic obedience for young dogs, experienced with medication administration, and attentive to special diets or mobility concerns. I believe communication is key, so you’ll always get photo updates and honest check-ins. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or just comforting company, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. I'm recently retired, which means I have extra time on my hands—and I can't think of a better way to spend it than caring for your pets. My days are wide open for long beach walks, fun car rides, and even the occasional pup cup stop (a fan favorite!). Whether your pet needs mid-day playtime, a quiet companion, or a full day of adventures, I’ve got the flexibility to make it happen. My schedule is open and stress-free—just like your pet’s time with me will be! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment with plenty of affection, routine, and supervision—no crowded spaces or overwhelming noise. I keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they feel relaxed and understood. In my home, pets have access to clean, pet-friendly spaces, cozy rest spots, and a fenced outdoor area (or safe leash walks, if preferred). When caring for pets in your home, I respect your routines and follow your care instructions to the letter—because no one knows your pet better than you do.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always watched dogs for all my friends and family! I love having dogs around as it’s never a dull moment in the house! I currently work remote so I am always home and and ready to care for your fur babies! I currently work remote so I am home all day. My work schedule is 8am-5:30pm and I exercise by walking the riverbed by my house so it’s perfect for me and the pups! I have a fenced yard and a twelve year old beagle mix who loves to meet new friends! When I dog sit for friends or family, I set up a spot for them in my room and my pup in a separate room so they can have their space. I’m not a huge fan of leaving pups in the garage (unless requested) so they will always have a spot with me I their own bed!

About: I have been trusted to care for the pets of neighbors and strangers alike over the years. I trained and raised my own Aussie from eight weeks old (he’s now 7!) and he is the light of my life. He is my son and I will treat yours just as if he was my own! I also have plenty of experience administering topical, oral, and injection medications. I am a current PCPA (Pacific Conservatory Theatre Company) student who has a very light summer! I am very flexible with my scheduling and can adapt to whatever you may need whether you’ll be out of town for a few days or just need someone to come by and exercise/entertain your pet. I know some pets can be nervous when a new human enters their territory and I am very conscious and adaptable to that and their needs. I am willing to spend time and give them love if they want or give them their space. I am very respectful of my clients’ space and home and try to leave things better than I found them.

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for 15 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have also fostered kittens for the animal shelter that I later adopted. I am a substitute teacher during the regular school year and am otherwise a DoorDash driver. I would work my schedule around what you need. My cats stay indoors and my 2 dogs love hanging out on our front enclosed porch or lounging inside. They all get along quite well.

I am reliable and will treat your pets in the way that you are most comfortable whether it’s while you are away on a trip or just need extra help. I work remotely and my dog Rufus is my favorite co-worker. I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to care for Rufus and your loved ones. We kennel Rufus at night in our home. We then walk him in the morning, feed him, and spend time with him. He is most lovable in the mornings. We have a dog run with shade that we use during the day if needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with over 2 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, and other furry friends, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I bring both professional knowledge and genuine love to every pet I care for. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, your cat wants some quiet cuddles, or your senior pet needs extra TLC, I’m here to help. I can’t wait to meet your beloved companion! I am available all week. I have a couple of business’s I am currently working on. I am very flexible and able to mold to your animal needs. I make sure anything poking out that your kiddo may poke themselves on. I make sure there is nothing on the floor that shouldn’t be that may get eaten. If there’s a specific routine for your animals I make sure to stick to that while you’re away.

About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I currently work on the weekends from around 9-6pm. I will be leaving for college in August, so this will be considered my part time job while I am home for the summer. What ever days are needed I am willing to do, and my schedule is pretty flexible! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!

About: Hi, my name is Landon, I'm from Salinas, California and it's my second year living in Eugene. I attended the university last year and now I'm taking a gap year to get my financials in order, in state tuition, etc. so I can finish my degree. My girlfriend and I have been together 3 years and her parents have 17 and 20 years of experience in the animal field. Her dad is one of the head animal control officers for Monterey County (where we're from) and has taught both of us so much about dogs and cats. Whether it be training methods, foods that are better than others, how to recognize certain behavioral habits, or any problem we come to him with, her dad has taught us how to truly take the best care of a dog. If I were to be accepted to take care of your pet, I would use all of my tools and knowledge and my whole heart to show your furry kid love. Currently, I'm looking for any job so my schedule is wide open! Caring for your pet will be at the top of my list as soon as I hear I can take care of them. So I unfortunately would not be able to care for pets at my house for extended periods of time, as my place doesn't allow ownership of pets, but one night wouldn't hurt at all. Any pet I encounter I treat as if it were my own, and with that comes smothering them with love, and caring to meet their needs as a pup while to a certain degree, spoiling them!

About: I have had experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs! I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years, caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs☺️. I’ve also taken care of chickens, hamsters, and even fish, so I’m confident and comfortable with all kinds of routines and needs. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, medication, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I treat every animal like they’re my own.❤️ I’m currently working on my General Education classes so I can be available for your pets whenever 🥰 (it gives me a very flexible schedule) . I love having animals around during study breaks! It keeps my energy up and makes my day better. Since I’m already used to watching my family’s and friends’ pets regularly, it’s something that naturally fits into my life and brings me joy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether it is high-energy pups who love to play to shy or older animals who need a calm and gentle approach. If I am staying at a clients home , I always respect their space, keep things clean , and send photos and updates so you can see your animal!

About: one thing that makes me unique from other dog sitters is that I was raised with dogs all my life & have so much love & care for them no matter the breed! It all started when I got my puppy a german shepherd/lab at the age of 9 I was very scared to have a dog because growing up I was always afraid of big dogs after having the experience of having a” big dog “ I got to experience my love for dogs! I’m currently a college student in college doing part time classes in the morning so I’ll have plenty of free time to play with your pups! I’m also available for boarding on the weekends! I have a big yard in front of my apartment complex which your dog can play in or potty at & at my apartment I own no dogs of my own . I have a big living room & small balcony I would take your dog on a walks & I would take care of it like of my own !

About: Hi I'm Tiffany! I used to groom for a grooming corporation for about 5 years and then on my own for a few years after that. I then took on house/dog sitting for close friends and really enjoyed it all before COVID hit. I love caring for animals and my heart is huge for dogs. I love to be active with dogs and helps me to stay healthy and fit too since all day I sit at a desk job. I have a 17 year old chihuahua dachshund mix who is my whole world, and his name is Shorty. I look forward to walking your pet or keeping your pet safe while you're away. :) Thank you very much. I currently work full time during the week so I have availability for your pup’s needs on nights and on the weekends. I can be available weekdays 6:30pm - 9:00pm and weekends available 10:00am - 9:00pm. I can dog sit at your place or check on them. I can also walk them so they get their exercise before bed and through the day on the weekends. I currently do not have a place to hold your pet for sitting so all sittings will need to be their homes.

About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, fishes, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a horse! animals require different training and attention but taking care of them throughout my childhood was the best thing ever for me! I have open availability! I’m able to take your dog for a morning walk and an afternoon walk. I can also bathe your dog after! I do require for dogs to have a leash and a collar for walks, if you have a stroller for your pet I can use that too if you’d like.

Sarah has been my go-to pet sitter for years - even before she joined the Rover team. I chose Sarah to take care of my pets due to her maturity, attention to detail, and because I knew she was a person who would do exactly what I needed her to do. This was no easy task taking care of chickens, a dog, a cat, and a bunny!! Through the years I have used Sarah when my family went on trips and my pets were happy, healthy, and clean every time we returned home. I am sad to be sharing Sarah with everyone else but am happy she’s taking her love and care of animals to the next level. She is trustworthy and will do a great job!

Rebecca was an awesome pet and house sitter! 😊 Rebecca was very professional- she sent me a questionnaire and came to my house to meet my dog before I went on my vacation. Rebecca was in daily communication and kept me updated on my dog. My house was spotless when I got home (she even vacuumed!), my garden was nicely watered and most importantly, my pup was happy! I look forward to Rebecca staying at my house again and again. 10 out of 10 stars for this Super Sitter!

I have known Dyanna for several years and can attest to her capable and compassionate character. An animal lover and pet parent, she will make your fur baby her number one priority! She gets to know your pet, its personality, likes and dislikes and conforms her time with your pet accordingly and always follows the pet parents’ rules on feeding, treats, exercise, etc. it sure gives me peace of mind when I’m away and know my furbabies are in good hands…Dyanna gives you that peace of mind and your pet unconditional love! Can’t recommend Dyanna highly enough! 💙💝🐶 🐈

I attended the university last year and now I'm taking a gap year to get my financials in order, in state tuition, etc. so I can finish my degree. My girlfriend and I have been together 3 years and her parents have 17 and 20 years of experience in the animal field. Her dad is one of the head animal control officers for Monterey County (where we're from) and has taught both of us so much about dogs and cats. Whether it be training methods, foods that are better than others, how to recognize certain behavioral habits, or any problem we come to him with, her dad has taught us how to truly take the best care of a dog. If I were to be accepted to take care of your pet, I would use all of my tools and knowledge and my whole heart to show your furry kid love. Currently, I'm looking for any job so my schedule is wide open! Caring for your pet will be at the top of my list as soon as I hear I can take care of them. So I unfortunately would not be able to care for pets at my house for extended periods of time, as my place doesn't allow ownership of pets, but one night wouldn't hurt at all. Any pet I encounter I treat as if it were my own, and with that comes smothering them with love, and caring to meet their needs as a pup while to a certain degree, spoiling them!

About: I have had experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs! I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years, caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs☺️. I’ve also taken care of chickens, hamsters, and even fish, so I’m confident and comfortable with all kinds of routines and needs. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, medication, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I treat every animal like they’re my own.❤️ I’m currently working on my General Education classes so I can be available for your pets whenever 🥰 (it gives me a very flexible schedule) . I love having animals around during study breaks! It keeps my energy up and makes my day better. Since I’m already used to watching my family’s and friends’ pets regularly, it’s something that naturally fits into my life and brings me joy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether it is high-energy pups who love to play to shy or older animals who need a calm and gentle approach. If I am staying at a clients home , I always respect their space, keep things clean , and send photos and updates so you can see your animal!

I think J would be a great pet giver. She is a loving person with humans and pets. I have a pomchi myself and J is my person to go when I’m going out of town and I have nothing to worry about with her being my dog sitter. I am very fortunate for that because you can rely on her anytime so I highly recommend J for that.

I can’t recommend Tiffany enough as a dog sitter! She recently took care of my dog, Felix and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and comfortable. Tiffany’s communication was excellent—she sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Felix warmed up to her, and I could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Tiffany followed all of my instructions perfectly. If you're looking for someone who is responsible, kind, and truly loves animals, Tiffany is the one to choose. I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Thank you, Tiffany, for being so amazing!

About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, fishes, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a horse! animals require different training and attention but taking care of them throughout my childhood was the best thing ever for me! I have open availability! I’m able to take your dog for a morning walk and an afternoon walk. I can also bathe your dog after! I do require for dogs to have a leash and a collar for walks, if you have a stroller for your pet I can use that too if you’d like.
