“Julie provided a perfect place for Harriet to stay during a weekend visit to Eugene. Great updates from Julie throughout the visit. The weekend was also very hot, but Julie was prepared keeping the AC on in the room for the pups and plenty of outside water activities for Harriet who loves water. Harriet felt very at home at Julie's!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, cows, goats, chickens, etc. I’ve pet sat for many of my friends and have references that can vouch for the care and effort I put into caring for their pets. I’m currently out of university for the summer and have a majority of my summer open to pet sit. My schedule is flexible and I can easily adapt! I live on the ground level of my apartment so I can provide a comfortable stay for senior dogs or puppies. I can obviously offer dog walks and access to the outdoors. My environment is calm and quiet so any pet can rest, stress free!
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.
“Angle took great care of my dog! I received regular updates, photos & videos & my pup. He loved playing with Tahoe & the other Rover friends. My dog came back happy, tired & content. He had such a blast on his mini vacation! Thanks Angie!”

“Jonathan took great care of our dog while we went away for 4 weeks. We received many pictures and messages. Jonathan is very reliable and dependable. He was very patient and kind with our dog. I recommend Jonathan for boarding and daycare.”

“Lindsey and her husband were excellent communicators and took great care of my fur baby ( senior dog) for 12 days. I appreciate how accommodating they were especially as my trip was at the peak of the line and flight issues at airports.”


“Jennifer and Josh were easy to work with and their love of the dogs is evident! My dog seemed to settle in really well, they managed her medication and kept me updated daily. Would use them again in a heartbeat.”
“Tessa, Tyler and their family were amazing sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my dog knowing she was in good hands. Tessa was great about sending regular updates and pictures. I love that their property has a huge fenced area for the dogs to run and play. The fact that they are home most of the day is awesome too. Will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”

“I was so blessed to have my dog in great hands well I was out of town. She took such great care of him. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel at ease knowing there fur babies are in the best hands well away. She will definitely be my go to.”

“Ruthie took great care of our little pup! She checked in frequently and sent us lots of pictures so we knew he was having a good time. She also took him on walks each day and gave him lots of snuggles. It's always a bit of a worry leaving your pup at a new place, but it felt like we had dropped him off with a family member and we'll definitely use her services again!”

“Highly recommend! Brandy sent pictures and updates and spent extra time making sure Nora was comfortable and cared for. She treated my puppy like her own. I will definitely be back whenever I need a pup sitter! Thank you!”

“Mari and her family took such great care of our 11yr old lab. Loved all the photo updates, flexibility and communication during the stay - but was especially so impressed the way they made Pepper feel right at home and a part of their family. I could tell he loved his stay and we're excited to have a great place for Pepper to stay when we travel.”

“Alexia was absolutely wonderful with Bubba! He has never spent a night away from home before, let alone almost 2 weeks! He was well loved and cared for, and I can't wait to leave him with Alexia again.”


“Valerie is great and her boarding setup is great. No complaints and I feel very lucky to have found her. Our dog came home happy and healthy after five days of fun and games.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I have so much love to give to animals, they completely fill my heart and make me happy. I have experience with older animals as well as younger. I work all days of the week. Need a vacation? Call me up and I am more than willing to come and take care of some animals. It would be the highlight of my week! I have 3 indoor dogs who go outside hourly and get fed twice a day. My dogs are friendly but must have an introduction with other dogs.
Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexia was very flexible and easy to work with throughout the weekend. The meet and greet with Coy and her dog went great and gave me the opportunity to get to know Alexia and share more about Coy and his routines. The pictures of the hike she took Coy on were greatly appreciated, as were the text updates. My wife and I will definitely keep Alexia in mind the next time we are in Eugene.

This was my first time leaving my dog with a non-family member and was a bit nervous, but Cassandra did an amazing job and truly made me feel like my dog was in good hands! She sent me lots of photos and videos of him which I enjoyed very much. She took him on walks, played a lot, and overall took great care of Frankie. I would definitely rebook with Cassandra again if I ever need more dog boarding/sitting!
