“They were great, sent constant updates when asked and he had a great time we was sad to come home. They have a good group of dogs that helped correct some of his behaviors which was a big bonus. Great people and great sitting!”
“Journey was an excellent choice for my sweet Lily. Lily is a soulful pup and takes her time to warm up to strangers and seeing her thrive under Journeys care was wonderful too see!”
“Highly recommend! When I dropped my dog off with Keith and Megan, he must have immediately felt at home because he barely said goodbye to me. The whole drop off made me feel so reassured and comfortable. They also sent plenty of photo updates throughout the visit! Booking with them was a great experience. They were flexible, accommodating, and affordable. I can’t thank Keith, Megan, and their lovely kiddos enough for treating my baby like their own family (and even comforting him during a thunderstorm). No question- they would be my first choice for any future boardings.”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“Thank you Tessa and family for having Millie in your home! When I picked her up, I could tell she had a relaxing and peaceful visit by how calm she was on the way home. You have beautiful yard and a wonderful place for Millie to relax and enjoy the sunshine and we look forward to being back soon!!”

“Cecilia and her family were great. She was very accommodating on pick up/drop off times and responded very quickly to our messages. She also sent several photos of our dog during her stay. Would definitely recommend!”

“Brittany was super awesome! My puppy had a great time running around and going on adventures with her. She is a great communicator and sent plenty of photos we will definitely be back :)”
“I recently boarded my two small dogs with Ying for a long weekend. From the many pictures and videos sent to me from Ying, I could see that my dogs were well taken care of and they seemed happy. I would certainly use YING’s boarding services again.”
“I could tell Duke had a great time at Diane’s, and she was flexible when the app was acting strange. Thanks so much for taking great care of my boy! Looking forward to next time!”

“Erin was at the door waiting for our dogs to escort the dogs into her home for drop off. She also brought the dogs to the door at pick up. The dogs came home, happy and healthy and glad to see us. ✅.”
About: I have cared for many family and friends’ pets and am a dog mom myself. I have a spacious fenced backyard and a 11 lb pup for your furry friend to play with, my chiweenie Loki. I work from home and live a couple blocks away from the Amazon trails and dog park. I am very flexible to give your furry friend attention as needed throughout the day. I have a fenced yard I let Loki freely come and go from- and of course your pup would have the same care. I spend a lot of time working in the garden, house projects, and creating art, but my favorite part of the day is playing with Loki. I’m happy to provide whatever care/routine you are looking for.
“Destiny did an amazing job taking care of Nova. Nova was very happy there. Destiny included Nova in lots of fun and sent pictures during her stay. Destiny was so kind and understanding of Nova’s needs. We were lucky to find her.”
About: I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. With my own experience caring for multiple dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has different needs—and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I’m available Thursday evening through Monday evening. I’m also available for overnight boarding, giving your pets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. We have a fenced backyard, and 2 friendly dogs. Benny, 3 year old Golden Mountain Dog and Walter, 8 year old Golden Retriever. We also have 2 indoor/outdoor cats.
“Puka looked happy, shiny, and healthy when I returned home from vacation! A big thank you to Amy for sending photos every day of Puka in cozy, comfy places and for brushing her. I trusted Amy and her family to treat Puka like one of their own and would definitely book with them again! 🥰”

All in all, I love how different cats are and taking care of them is great! The wild cats in the neighborhood, my neighbors down the street or even your best friend at home will always feel secure in their cattivities!k
About: I have done dogsitting and catsitting for seven years. I've done so for four or five families. I've grown up with pets, so I'm very comfortable with them. Currently, I work part time so I have plenty of time for this work during the week. I can do daily walks, check ins, and dogsitting. I am happy to care for pets in your home however you prefer. Just let me know any routines you like to do with your pet.
About: I’ve been caring for cats of all personalities since I was young, from energetic kittens to shy or independent cats. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, clean litter boxes, check in, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient and attentive, and I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat needs playtime, routine care, or just a calm presence, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re well taken care of while you’re away
About: Animals have been a true passion of mine for my entire life. I have been in the Animal Care Industry for close to a decade now and have been a licensed Pet Stylist since 2015. Additionally, I had the luxury of growing up on a family farm, which provided me the opportunity to learn about the proper care & handling of a wide variety of different animal species. My soul dog passed away 5/21/25, so caring for your fur babies brings me lots of happiness and comfort. I love being able to care for and dote on them like I did for my boy 🧡 I am available every day of the week, including all holidays. Drop in visits I am available between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. I have certifications through Fear Free, A.K.C. SAFE & Pet CPR/First-Aid. I have experience handling & caring for pets that might need a lil' extra TLC due to their medical issues, fear/anxiety and reactivity.
“Madison was attentive, communicative when some unforeseen garden developments occurred, sent pics of my kitties, and they were so content when I got home after a long trip.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats. As a Farm kid, I have rescued a couple litters, and bottle fed and raised the kittens and rehomed them to lovely pet oriented homes. I also have a kitten of my own. As well as some veterinary care experience.
“Amy was a caring and fun cat sitter for Cal and Cookie. She played with them and sent pictures and messages while we were away. She also left the home clean and ready for our return. Thanks Amy!”
About: I've done twice a day check ins for a couple and their pair of beautiful cats. I have cared for another pair of cats on one occasion. One was outdoor. I saw them during my stay. A dog also lived in the house. I will adore your cat(s).
About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve been trusted with taking care of my family and friends’ pets since I was twelve. One of my cats is older than me and has been with me my entire life, so I know very well how to take care of elderly and disabled animals, especially cats. I’ve also taken care of multiple very energetic dogs and I know how to handle their behavior. I’m very open to long play sessions or walks, but if a calm presence is what your pet needs, I am very good at providing that as well. I’m very adaptable. Whatever your pet needs, I am more than willing to do my best to give it. I’m a college student who is busy every afternoon but most mornings and almost every evening and night I am fully available for your pet. I’m completely free on the weekends as well. Understanding the signals pets use to communicate is one of the most important things to me. I value your pet’s safety and to me it is very important to know what they’re trying to say in times of crisis. I also am conscious of things in homes that may be harmful to pets, such as certain herbs, scents, or foods, and I go out of my way to ensure that pets do not make contact with anything that could be dangerous to them. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I want them to be met and for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me and the environment.
“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”
“Me and my poodle had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She was super adaptable, met with us beforehand which gave me peace of mind, and kept me updated at every check in. She made being out of town less stressful and I felt confident my little son🐩 was well cared for 😊 thank you!”
About: People can trust me as a cat sitter because I am dependable, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s needs. I make sure cats are fed on schedule, have clean water and litter boxes, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also give them plenty of attention, patience, and care. All cats have different personalities.

“Joel & Crystal have been a saving grace with my pup! My dog struggles with reactivity towards strangers which has made it nearly impossible to find doggy daycare for her. They knew exactly how to approach & navigate her unique personality and have made her feel right at home. My dog typically takes a few weeks before she warms up to new people, but somehow they managed to get her comfortable with them on the first visit! So grateful for these guys! Will be back!”
“I visited Eugene and needed some day care for my pups. Morgan is the first sitter I’ve felt totally comfortable leaving my dogs with in a long time. They both have their own unique personalities that require a watchful eye; Morgan was able to assure me they would be safe and upon meeting her I instantly knew they would be. She even went out of her way to help transport them at the end of day. Highly recommend Morgan (shoutout to her adorable dog Clover)!”
“First time using Rover and Joshua made this experience amazing, Frankie had the best time and even left with some homemade treats! I will be a repeated customer!”
“His second visit, Guinness seemed comfortable with the space and with Journey, leaning up against her for pets. This was so reassuring to see! Journey played with him, brushed him, and gave him a delicious lickimat. We will be back again!”

“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.”
“Another great visit for Ruger with Tessa and Tyler and their family! Ruger has such a great time with them and Duke. It’s wonderful to have such caring people to leave him with. I feel so fortunate to have found them.”
“Amber and her family took great care of my pup, Bowie. Her communication was great and even sent me pictures throughout the day. Bowie was exhausted when he got home from the walk Amber took him on, and from playing with her two dogs. You can tell Amber really loves to care for the pups she’s watching.”
“Denise is so great with Biscuit. Biscuit is always excited and happy when we drop her off. I know she is well cared for. I appreciate the pictures and reports Denise sends us.”

I’m very particular about who I leave him with and she is friendly and answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I received photos and updates during his stay! So glad I found her! Thank you!”
“Eric was a great dog sitter for my two small dogs. They were there about four hours for us to celebrate a birthday. They went on a walk and I could tell had a great time with him and his dog too. Bambi was tired when I got her back from playing and walking which is always great! We will think of rebooking with Eric if we are in the area in the future. Rates were reasonable as well.”
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.
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.
“Rogue had an amazing time at his first daycare with Valerie! Her home is truly a dog’s paradise, she’s put so much care into making it fun and safe for pups. As a first-time Rover user, I was a bit anxious, but Valerie eased my worries by answering all my questions and sending thoughtful updates and pictures throughout the day. Rogue came home happy, tired, and completely at ease. It seemed like he didn’t want to leave! We fully trust Valerie and will definitely be booking with her again for daycare and overnight stays. 😊”

“Kyimani has been so great with my dogs. She has watched them 3 times this week, and every time she watches them I feel I can breathe easy when I am away. She really takes the time to get to know both of my dogs personalities, and treats them very well. I know that when I book with Kyimani that my dogs are going to be very well taken care of. After she’s finished she writes very descriptive report cards for my dogs, which always make me laugh and smile because I can tell she is getting to know each of my dogs. If you are looking for a trusting and caring sitter, I recommend Kyimani all the way. I’m already booking with her next week as well!”

Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment.

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.
About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: My wife and I have a combined experience of 14 years taking care of all kinds of animals. We see them as family. We were a former care coordinator for our local humane society before moving to Oregon and take looking after your family very seriously. Don't like a male in your home? 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 been around pets of all kinds my whole life. Even a little gator at the local pet and pet supply shop. When it comes to dogs, cats, birds, and lizards, I love them all, most of the time they love me, some tolerate until they warm up to me. I love training animals of any kind, or at least trying. :) I have part time availability, but I'm usually able to adjust my schedule to fit in with any client needs. If you pick me, your pet will always take priority and I'll do my darndest to make them comfortable and happy around me. I live in a house with a fenced back yard. No pets, though our neighbors are often come by for a planned or welcomed surprise visit. As for a clients home I've learned over the years to leave a place the same way I found it. I respect your home and belongings. I can't wait to meet your pet.
About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.

“They were great, sent constant updates when asked and he had a great time we was sad to come home. They have a good group of dogs that helped correct some of his behaviors which was a big bonus. Great people and great sitting!”
“Journey was an excellent choice for my sweet Lily. Lily is a soulful pup and takes her time to warm up to strangers and seeing her thrive under Journeys care was wonderful too see!”
“Highly recommend! When I dropped my dog off with Keith and Megan, he must have immediately felt at home because he barely said goodbye to me. The whole drop off made me feel so reassured and comfortable. They also sent plenty of photo updates throughout the visit! Booking with them was a great experience. They were flexible, accommodating, and affordable. I can’t thank Keith, Megan, and their lovely kiddos enough for treating my baby like their own family (and even comforting him during a thunderstorm). No question- they would be my first choice for any future boardings.”

About: I have cared for many family and friends’ pets and am a dog mom myself. I have a spacious fenced backyard and a 11 lb pup for your furry friend to play with, my chiweenie Loki. I work from home and live a couple blocks away from the Amazon trails and dog park. I am very flexible to give your furry friend attention as needed throughout the day. I have a fenced yard I let Loki freely come and go from- and of course your pup would have the same care. I spend a lot of time working in the garden, house projects, and creating art, but my favorite part of the day is playing with Loki. I’m happy to provide whatever care/routine you are looking for.
