“Coco looks forward to her walks with Hayden each week. She is always so excited to see her! We both feel secure with Hayden taking her for walks and sniff fests!”

“Alondra is amazing! One day our dog got out while we were at work, she was so level headed and helped us tremendously in getting him home. We really appreciate Alondra. She’s been wonderful.”

“Maddie is great! My dog needs a little extra and she is very patient and kind with her. Annabelle is always excited to see her and she gets a great walk everyday. With my busy schedule it's been a lifesaver!”

About: Besides caring for dogs, I've had 10 years of experience handling and caring for horses. Even though horses aren't dogs, they act quite similar to dogs, and that's what I've grown to love about taking care of dogs and horses. At home I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, so I'm well versed in taking care of bigger dogs, but no dog will ever be too small! I've had my dog since she was a puppy to her being nine years old, so I've had my fair share of puppy years to "teen" years to more older, senior citizen years and have loved and took care of her during all aspects. Since I'm on summer break from college, I'll have tons of free time to take care of your pet. Looking to have a part-time job as well as pet care, but will continue to prioritize and take excellent care of your pets. Will have time to do daily check-ins as well as evening routines, and if needed stay the night to keep your pup company. I'll care for pets in my clients home by respecting their home space and taking excellent care of their fur babies. From a drop in for potty breaks to overnight stays, I'll provide safe, trustworthy environments, keeping a watchful eye on your pet and making sure they won't get into trouble!
“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!”

“Karina has done a great job consistently walking my two very rambunctious pups. She’s very good at balancing fun play time with training and ensure they are well behaved. The dogs are always ecstatic to see her. I have never had any issues contacting her and she goes above and beyond to send great updates on how the walks have gone and if she needs anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

About: For nine 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 at a doggy daycare with a wide range of dogs (and cats), as well as experience working with elderly and disabled dogs, as well as cats who prefer their space. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! I don't start classes until September 30, so I will be around nearly 24/7 for your pets! 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!
“Quick response. Met with us and the dogs the following day. Came in when expected. Dogs were walked and happy when we came home. We got pics and a description of their walk. Recommend 100%!”
About: As an experienced pet lover and caregiver, I've had the joy of caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. With years of hands-on experience in pet care, from walking dogs and house-sitting to babysitting animals, I'm comfortable providing drop-in visits and personalized care for your furry (or scaly!) friends. I’ve also gained valuable animal research skills while earning my Master’s in Biology, ensuring your pets are in safe and knowledgeable hands. Whether it's a casual walk or specialized attention, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I’m currently taking a gap period from my biology career. During this time, I'm excited to focus on my passion for animals and give them the love and attention they deserve. Caring for pets allows me to stay connected to my interest in animal biology while offering flexible, fulfilling work. I love incorporating pet walks, check-ins, and caregiving into my week, providing dedicated time to ensure each animal is happy and healthy. This account is jointly worked by both myself and my roommate, Brandon. This allows for a wide availability both throughout the week and throughout the day. Brandon shares a passion for animals and has also received his Master's in Biology. Similarly, he currently works as a dog handler. For walks, he will be the one working with you! When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a calm, quiet environment since I live in an apartment with no other pets. There's also a yard for safe outdoor time, perfect for supervised play and relaxation. In clients' homes, I follow their specific routines and preferences to make sure their pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s administering medication, providing walks, or giving them attention, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.
About: I have always been an animal lover. During any friend or family get together you will 100% find me visiting more with the pets than the people. Throughout my life I have owned or cared for mice, cats, dogs, rabbits, and most recently guinea pigs. For the last 5 years I have been a devoted guinea pig mommy, and aunty to many of my friends sweet dog and cat fur babies. It would bring me great joy to provide you peace of mind about your pet being safe and taken care of, whether you are away on vacation or just gone to work for the day. I have a very flexible schedule with availability any day of the week at a variety of times. I am a former Elementary Teacher of over 20 years who is looking for another passion to fill both my time and my heart. I intend to carefully follow any directions provided to give your pet and yourself a positive experience. I have excellent organizational skills and am attentive to details of the environment around me as well as the pets behavior and needs.
“Sarah took my large golden doodle Finnegan for weekly walks over the last seven months. She was always professional and easy to work with. Finnegan loved his walks with her. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Sarah!”

About: As a long time pet lover, I began caring for dogs in my neighborhood and volunteering at the local animal shelter at the age of 12. I went on to work for a local petsitting company as a house sitter and dog walker while I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am a skilled dog trainer currently offering training services in the Eugene/Springfield area. My dog training career started when I completed an internship with a local dog trainer in high school and since then I have continued to expand my knowledge of dog behavior through training experience, research, interviews with trainers, and online courses. I utilize gentle training techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and promote relaxation and confidence. I never engage in harsh training methods such as prong collars, shock collars, dominance, or physical force; my techniques are based only on positive reinforcement and trust. I specialize in training dogs with separation anxiety so if your dog suffers from this, they will be in good hands and they will never be left alone for long periods. Before joining Rover, I was already providing dog boarding and daycare to my existing training clients. I have experience with a variety of senior dogs and I am able to administer any medications your dog requires. I also offer daily teeth brushing if this is part of your dog's routine. You can rest assured that whatever your pet's needs are, they will be met while they are under my care. I am also an independently insured petsitter with Pet Care Insurance which covers accidents or injuries and provides that extra peace of mind. Petsitting and dog training is my full-time job and my husband works from home, so there is usually always someone home with the dogs. I provide walks, drop-ins, boarding and daycare 7-days a week and your dog’s health and happiness is my sole responsibility allowing me to be attentive to your dog's needs throughout the day. My home is an ideal boarding or daycare situation for your small dog. I don’t accept dogs over 40 lbs and I carefully screen all dogs for proper temperament. Any dog on the larger side that I accept must be calm and extremely good at interacting with the little ones. My priority is to ensure a safe environment for small dogs, and reduce the risk of injury. When I do have dogs of different sizes together I carefully supervise interactions and leash or separate larger dogs from smaller ones if needed. I provide a fenced yard, daily walks (if desired) and frequent potty breaks. At night I offer a number of different sleeping options depending on your dog’s size and temperament. They might sleep in a crate in the bedroom with us, in a soft sided crate on our bed, in an exercise pen, or loose in the living room where they'll have comfy couches and beds available. Some dogs I allow to be loose in the bed with us but it depends on the dog. I do not by default require dogs to be crated, and if you prefer your dog not be crated they can usually have a crate-free experience at my house. In this case, I only use a crate or exercise pen as a last resort if your dog displays destructive behaviors that cannot be managed. I am very safety oriented and I will ensure your dog is never left alone unsupervised with my dogs, or dogs from other households. I also ensure all dogs are secured when doors to the outside are being opened to prevent escape artists. I always check the vaccination status (including bordatella) of all potential dogs who stay with me. If your dog experiences a veterinary emergency, I can take them to Wilvet South at 444 B Street in Springfield. I do everything I can to make sure your pet has a stress-free, comfortable stay with me.

About: Hi, my name is Piper and I am a recent UO grad! I absolutely adore animals of any kind and would love to spoil your pet. I’ve had cats since I was young, and at that time started a dog walking business of my own. At 12 years old, I was walking dogs anywhere from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers (true story!) I recently adopted my kitty, Birdie, and she is the light of my life. She has brought me so much love, laughter, and pure joy into my life and is absolutely spoiled rotten (and I wouldn’t have it any other way)! I have years of experience with all kinds of pets, between in-home stays, walks during the day, or hours of playtime. I’ve watched low-maintenance and high-maintenance animals alike, including special feeding regimens and administering medicine. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet! :) I currently work part-time as a barista and have plenty of time on my hands! I’m always game for an adventure, visits multiple times a day, or a full day of hanging out. I have experience with all kinds of care for pets, varying from just a 30 minute visit once a day, to in-home stays. I am happy to work with you and your pets needs!
About: I grew up having many animals and have had cats and dogs my entire life. I love talking care of animals as well as going on walks! I am near the UO campus so that would be my preferred location. I am a college student so my schedule changes daily. I am mainly available any time besides 11am-3pm and I am open whenever on the weekends. I am not planning on housing pets in my house because I have a cat who does not get along will with other people's pets.
“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: With over 10 years of trusted, word-of-mouth pet sitting experience in the Eugene, Oregon community, I’ve had the privilege of caring for cats, dogs, and even the occasional bunny—with love, patience, and attention to every detail. My journey into professional pet care wasn’t built through ads or apps, but through real relationships and happy pets whose humans kept coming back. I recently created a Rover account as I prepare to travel more and connect with a global community of pet lovers. While I enjoy caring for animals of all kinds, I have a special place in my heart for cats—especially those who are shy, sensitive, or slow to trust. Building a bond with them is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Whether your pet is outgoing or introverted, high-energy or mellow, I always approach each visit with calm energy, reliability, and genuine care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away—and ensure your furry companion feels safe, seen, and loved. I work remotely as well as gig work. With that, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule. I work remotely as well as gig work.

“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
Alexis is a fantastic walker and dog sitter. She has walked my dog for the last two years. I have a 50lbs deaf dog. So she needs a little more attention. Alexis has always been amazing with her, and I can tell Stormy absolutely adores her! I highly recommend Alexis!
I highly recommend Nathan for challenging pups! He has been walking my 1.5-yr-old rescue for several weeks now, and I can tell Cappy has a fantastic time with him. Cappy is a LOT to handle and can be a bit overwhelming to meet, but Evan has taken extra time with Cappy to work on heeling and calming down. Bonus: Evan also sends great pictures during every walk. We are super lucky to have him helping us out!

Yazan took the time to meet & greet our pup to be sure it was a good fit. Our pup can be a little shy & anxious about new situations and Yazan took the time to let Floki warm up to him at his own pace before putting him on lead and taking him out for the walk. Yazan is very conscientious, prompt, and great at communicating with us sending pics of the walk and a thoroughly telling us relevant care info. Looking forward to having him help us in the future.
