“Crystal and her family took extra special care of our two beagles for a week, and we are so grateful! Excellent communication, and professionalism, I would recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter for their pups! Thanks so much to you all!”
“Our pups did well with Claire on their first stay! Claire was very communicative and sent photos too. She was very patient and understanding of letting our girls adjust to a new environment. Claire is very knowledgeable and gave us a few helpful recommendations as well.”
“Luna had a great stay with Katelyn. Communication was excellent from the start. It was nice having a little peace of mind knowing that Luna would either be playing in the backyard with her new doggy friend or chilling in the house with Katelyn and her fam. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Madison is great! She's watched my dog Winston a few times now and I always feel good leaving my baby behind with her. She takes him for walks, cuddles with him, and keeps me updated. I definitely recommend!”
“Cooper was living his best life with Teresa. He was well loved and went on all kinds of adventures, and we got picture updates every day. Teresa is amazing and definitely our go-to person for taking care of our favorite family member.”
“Brittany was an excellent sitter. My dog Nova immediately liked her for her calm and warm energy and she enjoyed a very peaceful two days. Brittany was excellent with communication throughout the stay and was understanding of my last minute booking. As a fellow Rover sitter, I would highly recommend!”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Joshua is as great as he was when he cared for Baloo 2 years ago. The dogs were so comfortable there and so happy. I will and have recommended him to many friends.”
“Susana was fabulous with Daisy! I received daily updates with a sweet photo of how she was doing including lots of walks and cuddling. Susana is well versed in dog behavior so she was able to comfortably have Daisy along with a couple of other dogs and monitor their behavior closely during her stay. Daisy was well cared for and seemed very happy during her stay. I would absolutely book Susana again!”
“Angeline was amazing! She sent pictures and kept us updated with how our dog Bambi was doing. She cleaned all our stuff we packed for her too: blankets, bowls, etc. She has a really nice space and backyard, and Bambi had so much fun!”
“Our dog Bluey has stayed with Wilna about a handful of times and we always know he is in the BEST care. They are very communicative and send us regular updates, videos and pictures. Bluey now knows when we are going to Wilna’s and can’t hop in the car fast enough! He comes home content and peaceful and I can tell he was loved, taken care of and that he got his energy out. Thank you for everything Wilna!”
“Jennifer and Josh at Crest Doggie Camp are incredible individuals! They are exactly why I looked at Rover to begin with, because I wanted personified care in a home, not a kennel. My dachshund is, well, a dachsund! Need I say more? The individual care and attention he received and the genuine concern they give all the pets, is just so healthy. It’s what I fear would be missing if I were to use a traditional kennel. They were great to keep me informed with texts and pictures. I’m grateful for Josh and Jen and definitely recommend them highly. I will certainly go back when the need arises.”
“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!”
“Valerie took such great care of my two kitty boys! She was truly amazing with them and also with me - sending photos frequently along with updates. She answered my questions and special requests to make sure Izzy was peeing first day. I was able to go visit them as well. Her home is clean and neat. When we arrived to her special room for kitties for drop-off day, it was so welcoming and all set up for two cats. I felt so welcomed. I will have to replicate some of the beds and carpet she has for them, they loved them so much. There is a big, secure catio with kitty door for those cats with indoor-outdoor preferences; it has a whole wooden structure in it for them to climb or be up high or down on the ground. Valerie gave my boys lots of loves and playtime/laptime. Milo "helped" her with paperwork (ahem). She is calm and warm and loving. When I visited, they were so calm. Izzy was hesitant at first, hiding under the bed, but by day 2 he was ready to get rubs and playtime. She even plays soothing kitty t.v./music for them. I 100% recommend Valerie and her set-up. She also invited me for a meet and greet before booking. I am so grateful for Valerie taking care of my cats while I traveled and looked for a rental.”

About: I am an animal lover, I only have 2 pets in my home right now, but I would have a cat rescue if I was able. Experience with all ages of pets. My schedule is flexible as I work from home. I prefer to walk in the morning or evening, to avoid heat stress, but I am able to work around your schedule I have an 8yr old St. Benard who is a gental giant and a 8ish year old cat that's my baby.

“Journey is the perfect sitter for our reactive baby. I could immediately tell she has lots of experience and is comfortable with even fearful dogs like ours. The thing about Journey that I am most appreciative of is that she has Fear Free certification. She showed in all her communication with me that she understood Guinness’s needs through his body language and was respectful of his boundaries (however long they lasted, apparently he got pretty cuddly!). I will definitely be bringing Guinness back for boarding, daycare, and probably grooming too. I can’t express how grateful I am to imagine being able to board Guinness and therefore travel again! Thank you, Journey!”
“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”
“Traveling in from Colorado I was delighted to find such good care for my 5 month old puppy during an Oregon football game. Not only did my puppy receive great care, but I received an update on her zoomies around the yard mid-game. Very happy my pup was so well looked after.”
About: Former dog owner (Luna & Scout) — long daily walks, parks, overnight boarding, feeding routines. Reliable, responsive, I'll treat your dog like my own in Springfield. Flexible and reliable, I always make pet care a priority in my routine. Whether it's daily walks, check-ins, or playtime, your pet’s needs come first. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a pet-friendly environment. I follow routines, use positive reinforcement, and ensure pets feel secure and loved at all times.
“Jessi was an absolute life saver! We were in town from MN and had to find quick arrangements for our pups, she was quick to respond to our request and was incredibly kind and accommodating. It’s always a little nerve wrecking using someone new but as soon as we met Jessi we knew our pups would be cared for. Little did we know she’d go above and beyond, letting them play with her pup Casper and tuckering them out thoroughly from a long walk on top of all that. I would recommend Jessi in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a place for their pup to be watched but also invited into her family and cared for like her own. Cannot thank Jessi enough!”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am passionate about their well-being. In addition to caring for my own dog, Archie for the past three years, I also foster dogs through two local rescue organizations, including medical-case dogs that require extra patience, attention, and care. I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 and earned my master’s degree from USC in 2025. I work fully remote from my home in Eugene, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, house sitting, or boarding, I want to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My dog is incredibly friendly and enjoys meeting new furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own! I work remote full time 8-4. I usually have only 1-2 meetings a day and am available to play/walk at lunch and take breaks for meal times! Your pet would be supervised all day! I have a fully fenced back yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company! I can also crate your pup at whatever times you like to keep a routine! If I’m caring for pets in your home I’ll follow your exact routine, be with your pet all day, and keep your house clean!
About: I've been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, that is 50+ years of wagging tails. I know how important consistency is for keeping dogs calm, especially when they're staying somewhere new. My goal is to make their time with me feel as close to "home" as possible. Whether your dog (aka family member) wants snuggles, a cozy nap spot, playtime with my dog, or a little quiet space to themselves, I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I’m home full‑time and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day/night. My home is relaxed, warm, and set up for dogs to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep things safe, clean, and low‑stress, and I follow each dog’s natural rhythm — whether that’s playtime, naps, snuggles, or simply hanging out nearby. I share my home with my young male mix‑breed dog (born 12/6/24), a poodle/wire‑haired terrier mix who’s neutered, well‑behaved, and absolutely loves meeting new dog friends. He’s gentle, social, and always happy to have a buddy around, but I also make sure every visiting dog has space and downtime whenever they want it.

No problem we'll arrange for my wife to present instead. We work together for you! After the passing of our dog we wanted to start Rover in memory of our Chewy we have 2 Cats and 1 small Senior Dog that would be isolated in our master bedroom to give your family member the space and attention they deserve! We can work all hours. My wife and I have very open availability to make any schedule work! Let us know what you would like! We have an apartment, with spare bedrooms, experience with puppies, kittens, sick animals, and special needs animals. (: If you want someone that knows what they're doing we're here for you!
About: I've had both dogs and cats as family pets most of my life. I love having them around and taking care of them. Enjoy taking them outside and for walks as needed. I have been dog-sitting for friends for years and I have 3 kids who love animals as well. We have a full fenced yard for safe outdoor play. I am happy to personalize care for your pups individual needs and routine. Your pup's safety and care is my top priority. I am currently a Stay at home Parent so my schedule is very flexible. I'll be able to meet your animals schedule needs and will be present with them often during the day. I have a fenced yard and no other animals at home so your pet will be our main focus and will have a safe area to be inside or outside.
About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“Shelby is great! Loki enjoyed spending time with her and her sweet furbaby Winston. Shelby's an excellent communicator and matched Loki's energy level perfectly. She sent him home with a little note and goody bag, which was just so thoughtful! We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much, Shelby!”
“Lexi took wonderful care of Winston! She has a calming presence! My typically high-anxiety dog didn't cry when I left and seemed quite content when I returned. Lexi's communication is prompt and her flexibility is greatly appreciated! I highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve never known life without a dog in it, and I’d like to keep it that way! My family has had Labrador Retrievers since before I was born, and I’ve taken an active role in caring for them since I can remember. I have also had experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pups, ranging from beagle mixes to doodles to boxers. Given this, I am very comfortable walking, playing with, and loving on dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I am currently a PhD student at UO, so I have a very flexible schedule outside of my classes. I love to break up my work during the day by getting outside, and would love for your pet to be apart of that! I will treat your home as if it is my own! I am very tidy and will remove my shoes to ensure I do not track dirt inside. I will be respectful of your space while ensuring your pet is feeling loved and cared for.
About: My experience started with our family dog, I learned to care for Maggie with love compassion and an attention to detail for her unique needs. I moved on to pet sitting my friends dogs making sure to play, brush, and walk them regularly. I have experience administering oral medication, training, and clear dog communication (approach from the side, start with a pet on the chest, show an open hand etc.) I've volunteered with the humane society for 2 years and have experience dealing with dogs that are traumatized and timid. I have a special bond with dogs and always have their best interests at heart. I'm available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on my clients needs. I am able to work around your schedule to make your pet care needs easier than ever I don’t have space to host but I am able to provide in-home care for your furry friends at your location if convenient for you.
“I can't recommend Jessica enough! My pup came home tired - which is AMAZING! Jessica was quick to respond (which was very helpful because I was in a time crunch!) and took him for two walks.”
“I was in town to visit Silver Falls SP and Sandy was the perfect sitter for Charlie. If I didn’t know better, he was sad to leave. She has a warm home and loves animals. She treated Charlie like her own and he was so happy to spend time with her. Thank you Sandy!”

About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
About: I've taken care of animals for 15+ years. Weather it was my own animal or a friend or families I was always there to give potty breaks and train them on proper care. I also train dogs and have many years of experience training dogs to do various commands such as sit, down, roll over, and crate training. This will be my full time job so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend. I do have a dog and cat of my own but they are great around other dogs. I live in an apartment in the middle of campus. There is unfortunately no backyard but I ensure that your dog will get many walks and potty breaks and playtime.
