“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!”
“Hayden was amazing with our dogs. One is a very big and crazy 1 yr old that can sometimes be a lot to handle and she did it with ease. We will definitely be using Hayden again!”
“We are sooooooooo happy we found Sarah! She loves our London like she’s her own. I totally trust her and appreciate all her help. Plus, Sarah takes extremely nice photos of my animals.”
About: Your pet will be SO loved. Im very in tune with meeting animals where they are at energetically and socially and have so much fun getting to know their unique personalities. I work mostly from home Monday thru Friday. I usually need to go in person an average of about 3 to 4 hours daily between the hours of 12pm-5pm but can still pop in for additional checks and care during that time. I love going for walks, hikes, and the dog park and your bestie can ride in my car. And besides that my nights and weekend are completely free! I have a cozy 1 bedroom apartment and no pets. My space works best for small to medium dogs, but I can (and would LOVE) to host larger dogs if they’re more compact in size (like bulldogs). I am home a lot with remote work or can work from your home! There are 2 dog parks near me- one is 5 minute and the other is 3 minute drive or about a 10 minute walk uphill. I would definitely be available in person to give your pets company and love for most of the day and all night.
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.
“Cole is awesome with our dog—whether in our neighborhood or out on the trails. He understands dogs really well, is responsible and prompt, and sends good updates. Would highly recommend him for walking and taking great care of your dog.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how much your pet means to you, and I treat every animal I sit for like one of my own. I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities — whether they're energetic and need a lot of playtime or shy and just want some quiet company. I love getting on the floor and actually playing with them, not just watching from across the room. What sets me apart is that I bring the same attentiveness and warmth to pet care that I do to working with kids. I'm active, outdoorsy, and happy to take dogs on long walks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I work a part-time remote internship, which means I'm home a lot and have genuine flexibility throughout the day, no rushing in and out between a packed schedule. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a dog walk, or an overnight stay, I can give pets the time and attention they actually deserve rather than squeezing them in as an afterthought. Being active myself means dog walks are something I look forward to, not just check off a list. Pet care isn't a side hustle I picked up randomly, it’s something I've been doing since I was a kid sitting for neighbors' cats, and it fits who I am. I love for animals to be a part of my daily routine whether I'm working or not. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or yours, my approach is the same: calm, attentive, and consistent. In your home, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible. I know that familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats or anxious pets, so I keep things predictable and low-stress. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels secure and settled the whole time. In my home, pets get a quiet, relaxed environment with some great perks, I have a front lawn and live right next to a park, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time and a great spot for a game of fetch. I work remotely, so I'm present throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I'm careful about introductions and always make sure any pet in my care has their own space to decompress if they need it. In both settings, I stay in close communication with owners, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I take emergencies seriously, and will never hesitate to reach out if something feels off. Your pet's safety and comfort is always the priority.
About: For ten years, my friends or family have trusted me to take care of their furry (or scaly) friends when they're away. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including elderly, disabled, shy, high energy, and/or rescue dogs and cats. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! This term (Spring 2026), the longest stretch I would have to be away is four hours (on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I am highly flexible with addressing your pet's unique social and exercise needs. I am open to taking them to a dog park, taking them on a hike, or whatever activity they enjoy. No worries if your pup is sensitive to other dogs/ children/ cats- I want them to be as comfortable as possible!
About: Being raised fostering all kinds of dogs and cats, I have 20 years of experience with caring for dogs of all sizes and needs. I also have volunteered at my local shelters since middle school and have helped my family train dogs as well (I am a big enthusiast of positive reinforcement)! Beyond this, I have independent experience sitting for senior dogs who have special medical needs as well. I am currently on break from my college in NY, and would be so grateful to have the opportunity to care for your pets! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking to care for your pets mainly Monday through Friday, with open availability each day (but preferably mornings and evenings). We can work together to make sure your needs are being met! When sitting at your home, I will take great care to ensure all of your requests are met in terms of how your pet is taken care of. If you have any specific asks I am extremely attentive and want to meet all your needs to keep your pet safe and happy!
“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”
“Kristine is a lifesaver and came through practically the day before we even knew we needed her service. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody and will be using her again probably in the near future.”
“AJ is amazing, I really trust her with my home and my dog Milo. She’s always very flexible and knows what she’s doing. I truly feel like my dog is taken care of when he’s with her. 10/10 recommend and will also be using her consistently”
“Maddie was super flexible and took my dog, sage on a very long walk. I could tell sage was comfortable with Maddie and she got a lot of energy out on their walk. Maddie arrived on time and was prepared, would book again in the future!”
About: Throughout my life, I have lovingly cared for cats, dogs, and even birds. I deeply appreciate the significance of open communication and empathy between the caregiver, pet parent, and their beloved four-legged companions. I’m currently a professional ballet dancer with Ballet Fantastique and also teach Lagree, both of which allow my schedule to be very flexible. This gives me the availability to be reliable and attentive when caring for your pets. I’m active, detail-oriented, and used to maintaining routines, so I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of care, consistency, and love while you’re away. I'm sorry, but I don't offer services within my home. Instead, I'll make sure to take care of your pets in the familiarity of their own home, ensuring they have everything they need, including food, water, any necessary medication, walks, and plenty of love and attention.
About: I have been taking care of family and friends furry animals since I was about 14 years old. I enjoy nature and going on hike and walks so I would be perfect for taking your energetic fur babies out for walks and just to get some nice fresh air. Im currently a student at the University of Oregon and pet care would fit perfectly into my daily routine because I don't take early morning classes, have long enough breaks to take your pets on walks during the day and don't take classes at night so I would be able to take your pet out for walks at night before or while it gets dark. I have a dog at my home in California and when I am home I enjoy taking her out for walks around our neighborhood and to our local park, I let her outside in our fenced off backyard every 2-3 hours and give her lots of treats.
“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”
South University dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jules did a great job of communicating throughout the process. I was really happy with their ability to understand the needs of a more nervous dog - very good at reading dog body language and adapting as needed. Daphne got a fantastic walk and I came home to a happy and calm pup. I hope our schedules align and we can book again!
Karina (remember that song?), well Karina is a.wonderful walker and really cares for my getting old, Aggie. Calm, confident, responsible…most of all Aggie truly loves her. Karina made a daisy chain wreath for my seeet Aggie’s head. Aggie rides in a wagon and gets out to lay on the grass and smell the flowers. I live in Whittaker.
Morgan has been a fantastic, reliable dog walker. I liked that she asked thoughtful, relevant questions which helped me feel confident in her ability to care for Daphne. She did a great job following instructions and kept me up to date on any schedule changes within a reasonable timeframe (we did recurring weekly walks).
Finding Nathan to walk Angus while I recuperate from ankle surgery has been an absolute pleasure! Angus adores Nathan—looks forward to his arrivals—and comes home absolutely delighted and well exercised after every adventure. Nathan doesn't just walk my dog—he educates him (well me really)! As a naturalist he takes him on sensory-rich adventures, noting the local wildlife and flora. And when I was non-weight bearing recuperating after surgery Nathan reported back to me their findings so that I could experience their outings vicariously. Nathan is clearly a dog lover and experienced handler you can trust.
