“Claire did an amazing job with our dog. She was consistently sending updates and pictures. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and I know our dog was well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Using a new sitter on rover is always a little nerve racking, Julie came through for me last minute when I needed a sitter. I could tell when I dropped my dog off he would be well cared for. Julie was an excellent communicator I got multiple updates and pictures daily. She has a nice enclosed yard and a room dedicated for dogs. She took my dog on walks everyday. I highly recommend”
“We have a rescue dog who is nervous in new situations but Dee Dee was wonderful with her. She gave her a great atmosphere to feel calm and welcome, and then plenty of pets when our pup was ready. Dee Dee was communicative, cheerful, and sent us lots of photos, which we loved. We are definitely going to reach out to Dee Dee the next time we go out of town. She’s so delightful!”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“We had a very good experience with Katelyn. Lovely family. A few small and delightful kids. Our beagle, Lucy, got on well with their larger dog. Katelyn is our new go-to provider. Lucy will be with her again this coming weekend.”
“I had a last-minute appointment I needed to keep and Cecilia was wonderfully accommodating. My kitties came home and settled back in, after spending the day with her. I appreciated her responsiveness and will use her again should the need arise :)”
“Tessa is amazing! She took such good care of my puppy Kobe. She shared lots of updates throughout the day, video and photos. Thank you so much for such an amazing job taking care of my baby. I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone who’s looking for someone to take care of their furbabies while they’re away traveling.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Brittany took amazing care of Orion and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and lots of pictures, which meant so much to me. It was clear that Orion was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and the peace of mind she gave me. I will absolutely be booking with Brittany again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!”
“Tina and her husband were fantastic!!!! always timely at messaging me back, they have a great space for my pup to run and play inside and outside the home, Mia got a long wonderful with the other two dogs, Tina sent me updates everyday how Mia slept or how she played pictures of her with them on the bed or in the living room with the other dogs playing in the yard. Tina was kind enough to meet me partway to return some things that got left behind and Mia was so excited to see her again that made my heart really happy that mia really did enjoy her visit with them and her runs through the woods.”
“Ying has helped me taking care of Panda for more than one year. It is very cozy in Ying’s house. Ying takes Panda out for playing every day, which provides Panda with plenty of exercise and is very good for his health. He can even groom Panda by cutting its hair, giving it a bath, trimming its nails, plucking its ear hair, and expressing its anal glands. He has just moved to this platform, and this is the first order on Rover. Panda super likes to stay with Ying. Every time I tell Panda we're going to Ying's house, he gets very happy and eagerly waits for me to put on his collar.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“My dog had a great time with Cameron and her dog Bo. I was updated daily on the fun they were having. She treated my dog like part of the family. We will definitely use Cameron in the future.”
“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!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life! I love to care for them. My grandmother was a vet so I have decent knowledge in care :) I have a completely open schedule!! I have a lot of chronic pain so I’m not currently working a normal part time job. Due to my health, my availability may be closed for a couple days at a time, but I should be mostly open! I love my own three babies and would love to care for yours as well :) I don’t believe I would be able to bring your baby to my home, but I can always come to yours! I won’t bring my babies to stress anyone out, but they all might smell each other. I’m very gentle with disabled pets, as one of mine is deaf and has some back issues. I will be very patient and understanding of your fur ball’s needs! If you are going away for multiple days at a time, I can stop by as many times as needed to clean litter box(es) and food dish(es). I will also make sure your kitty has fresh/clean water, especially with the warmer months!!
“Mia did a great job with dinner and late evening visits, keeping the routine and adding nice touches. Looks like she was well appreciated while she was there. Thank you Mia!”
“Tina did drop-in visits with our 2 cats while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She did a good job keeping up with them and I appreciated her prompt communication working through an issue with the cats’ feeder that came up while we were gone. Would use her again and would recommend her service.”
“Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.”
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: We have a cat of our own! As well as a dog that gets along great with our cat. If needed we are able to separate them. Would happily house your cat or come take care/check on them.
About: I have two boy cats! One 7 year old who I have had since he was 3 months old and a one year old who I got at 5 months old. I have always lived with at least two cats in the house and at the most 4 cats. I have a ton of experience with cats and an understanding of what they need whether it’s affection, space, food, or play. I absolutely adore not only my cats but all the cats I meet. I have cat sat for multiple friends and family. The most I have cared for at one time was 4 cats and one dog.
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.”
“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.”
“Kristine is awesome! She left detailed visit reports and sent pics every visit. I really appreciated how attentive she was and you could tell my cat enjoyed every min of their visits together. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always had a soft spot for them — as a kid, I was usually the one sitting outside trying to earn the trust of every stray cat in the neighborhood. I currently have three cats of my own and have experience with kittens, adult and senior cats, oral medications, and a wide range of personalities — from social and affectionate to shy, cautious, and very particular. I’m patient about letting cats set the pace and comfortable giving them space when that’s what they need. I may live with a whole dog pack, but I’m definitely still a cat person at heart.

“Our dog was very well taken care of while she was with Joel and Crystal. We were in town for a track meet, and it was perfect to be able to drop her off and pick her up after! We would do this again with Joel and Crystal for sure!!”
“Annie had a great day with Joshua, Jennifer and company! She made friends with new humans, dogs and cats, and I managed to catch up on several things at home. Annie will go back again next week. I feel quite secure about her care there and she was happy and relaxed when I picked her up.”
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.
“Claire was patient and kind with our younger rescue dog, Quince, who can get stressed in new environments. Our senior dog, Duncan, seemed to do great. We appreciated the pictures of their day and were happy they were comfortable enough to settle in for a snooze. Their home seemed warm and inviting with plenty of comfy spaces to cuddle up. Claire had some good insight for future visits, and we hope to be able to have our boys in her care in the near future.”
“Thanks so much for a wonderful day experience for our 6th month old puppy! We received several photo updates throughout the day. Our pup had a wonderful time with excellent people. Jennifer and Josh are genuinely nice people who love dogs and make it their business to provide excellent care. Peace of mind is a big deal when it comes to a beloved pet and they deliver 110 percent. They have a beautiful property for playing and even took my dog on a walk. My dog came home happy and relaxed. They even sent us a video update! Thank you guys so much!!!”
“Destiny was quick to respond to my last minute request. She was kind and my dog Savannah was happy and exercised when I picked her up. Thank you Destiny. I would love to use your service again when we are back in Eugene!”
“Had a very nice meet and greet with Ruthie and Ollie. My pooch seem very comfortable in her home, he absolutely loved the backyard. Ruthie is very conscientious and attentive to Valdez’s needs. Highly recommend.”
“Rosa was so helpful in caring for my dog while she recovered from an injury. Melon was so happy to see her when we got to her house so I know she was given tons of love and attention. I would recommend Rosa to anyone!”
“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!”
“Denise was the best with our little yorkie while we were in town for a graduation. She took care of him during the day and he was calmer than usual and happy! Thank you again Denise!”
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds in my family since I was born. I’ve taken care of animals and helped watch and care for loved ones pets over the years. I’m currently a SAHM and looking for extra ways of generating income while doing things I love and things that are fulfilling! Very flexible and eager to help. Ready to help where is needed. I have many good references. I am trustworthy, kind, careful, communicative, and an all around animal lover! I can’t wait to meet yours.
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.
“Valerie has a great space for the dogs and really worked well with my shy mini-Aussie! Will be coming back and know that Winnie will have a great time :)”
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!
“Ying is marvelous; the dogs feel very comfortable with him and his gentle demeanor. He was extremely conscientious with our dogs and kept them safe and happy! We will certainly call on him again.”
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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for nearly 2 decades now (holy cow! I’m old enough to say that. Woof! ((No pun intended)). I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes. Cats of all attitudes. And even a few birds! I have a nearly 10 year old pitbull named Bindi, and she is a baby girl. I rescued her from a shelter when she was 8 weeks old and she has been by my side ever since. She and I did a lot of training together and I am used to working with big, powerful breeds. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so when my kiddo starts school this fall, I will have a lot of extra time to be able to help others take care of their fur babies. Before having my kiddo, I worked full time, so I understand the importance of needing a trusted person to help out sometimes. When I rescued my pitbull, Bindi, I knew there would be a lot of people out there who would judge her just because she was a pitbull. I knew I had to be extra careful not to let her get loose (even though she was trained). So I’m a huge advocate for tags on collars, collars fitting correctly, always using a leash when not in a fenced backyard. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve also house sat for many neighbors and friends over the years. I am respectful of other people’s things and spaces, and can be trusted to follow the directions that are given for each visit or walk.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals, and caring for them isn't just a job for me, it's a lifelong love. I've pet- and farm-sat for friends, family, and clients who trusted me to feed, walk, and administer medications to their furry family members. I have a lot of experience with anxious and reactive dogs, as well as special needs and chronically ill pets. My own dog is leash reactive, and has an autoimmune illness, so I'm well practiced with medication schedules, extra-gentle handling, and reading subtle cues that something's off. I also spent 15 years riding horses, so I'm comfortable and confident around animals of all kinds and temperaments. These days I’m a dog mom to Mac and Rocky. And I currently work in animal welfare, so your pet's wellbeing is my profession. You can trust that your furry friend will be in experienced, compassionate hands. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to do drops, walks and to give some extra love! I have free time during weekdays and weekends I will follow your instructions to a t. I know it can be stressful to leave your pets with a new sitter, so I will provide detailed updates including photos.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have one of my own. I have trained and raised a couple puppies and housesit and cared for many dogs. I also have veterinary care experience. My schedule is currently very open and I am looking to add caring for animals more into my life as it is something I really genuinely enjoy so I’m available for last minute or prepared ahead of time plans I have a fenced in backyard, with access to a doggie door. I have a miniature dachshund, and a domestic shorthaired cat. My animals rule the roost and are cared for exceptionally well. With access to food and water and a cool house with comfortable beds.
About: I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience with many types of dogs including larger breeds and more active breeds of dogs. I enjoy them all. I also have significant experience in equine care. I'm self employed so flexibility for your pets is not an issue. I will make sure that your pet always gets the time that they need. The safety and well-being of your pet are my highest concern. All instructions and routines will be adhered to, as well as good communication. I want you to be completely comfortable with me caring for your pet, I know how stressful it can be to leave them.
About: Ever since I was 8 years old I have been responsible for feeding, cleaning up after, walking and teaching simple tricks to our family pets. Family and friends have relied on me to not only give necessary care to their pets but make sure they are receiving all the desired attention, play time, and alone time. Since I have grown up with pets my whole life I have a great understanding of how to read cat’s and dog’s body language to know how they are feeling in different situations. I am currently living with two boy cats of my own and they are my babies! I’m currently a full time student, working a part time job looking for a way to get money to help with bills by doing something I’m passionate about, loving animals. When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, communication and a clean environment. I will carefully follow all instructions provided to me including feeding or bathroom schedules, medications or any special needs. I keep the house secure by keeping doors locked and avoiding anything that could put your fur baby at risk. I am more than happy to communicate with regular updates if desired! I will also be sure to clean up after your pet and leave your home same or better condition than I found it.
About: Im Lily, and I love dogs! •My speciality is large breed dogs! I have my own 100 pound Black Russian terrier, Thea who is my baby. •I am also very comfortable with watching and walking intact dogs. As I know the importance of a large breed staying intact until they are fully mature. I have experience caring for dogs in heat, and understand the behavior change that occurs in the dog experiencing it and the potential for it to effect male dogs around. • I am happy to help with potty breaks throughout the day, walks, bathes, basic training, and preparing specialty meals for your puppy! I am not a dog trainer but I am more than comfortable and capable of helping with basic training for dogs and puppies, such as, potty training, recall, on leash walking, and basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc) • I do love big dogs, but I would be ecstatic to help with your puppy or small dogs, since my dog has grown up, I don’t get to experience having a little pup/dog around. • Socialization is great for dogs but can be hard to trust when you don’t know a dogs temperament or vaccination status. If you are looking for your dog to have social activity with a well behaved, healthy dog Thea would be more than happy to join a walk or play date. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my availability is open. I am very flexible and more than happy to be on your schedule! I have a fenced yard and my own dog is extremely friendly with other animals including small dogs. Inside of my home I do not leave things laying around that could potentially harm my own dog or others. My kitchen is clean and I don’t leave food out so a dog getting into something they shouldn’t would be very hard.
About: I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.
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 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.

“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:)”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“Old man Guinness was safe, comfortable, and happy with basically his second mom Journey while we were away on vacation. Thank you for treating him to gourmet Lickimats, sniffaris, and AC! Guinness will see you again soon; until then, be well!”
“Using a new sitter on rover is always a little nerve racking, Julie came through for me last minute when I needed a sitter. I could tell when I dropped my dog off he would be well cared for. Julie was an excellent communicator I got multiple updates and pictures daily. She has a nice enclosed yard and a room dedicated for dogs. She took my dog on walks everyday. I highly recommend”
“My pup was well taken care of and I was given daily updates. I will use these guys again. My pup had stitches and meds. Josh did not hesitate, re: ability or willingness to care for her. Bonus points... Maybe it was operator error as I am a newbie to rover. However, I thought I had secured some place for my dog to stay for the week while I traveled out of state. I did not hear back from that particular person. So the night before I had to leave, at about 10pm, in a panic, I got back onto rover.com and these folks saved the day!”
“Jacqueline took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She gave us lots of updates and sent frequent pictures so we knew our buddy was doing well. When we picked him up, he seemed pooped, so we know he got lots of attention and exercise. We would 100% have our fur baby stay with Jacqueline again!”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“We had a very good experience with Katelyn. Lovely family. A few small and delightful kids. Our beagle, Lucy, got on well with their larger dog. Katelyn is our new go-to provider. Lucy will be with her again this coming weekend.”
“I had a last-minute appointment I needed to keep and Cecilia was wonderfully accommodating. My kitties came home and settled back in, after spending the day with her. I appreciated her responsiveness and will use her again should the need arise :)”
“Tessa is amazing! She took such good care of my puppy Kobe. She shared lots of updates throughout the day, video and photos. Thank you so much for such an amazing job taking care of my baby. I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone who’s looking for someone to take care of their furbabies while they’re away traveling.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Brittany took amazing care of Orion and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and lots of pictures, which meant so much to me. It was clear that Orion was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and the peace of mind she gave me. I will absolutely be booking with Brittany again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!”
“Tina and her husband were fantastic!!!! always timely at messaging me back, they have a great space for my pup to run and play inside and outside the home, Mia got a long wonderful with the other two dogs, Tina sent me updates everyday how Mia slept or how she played pictures of her with them on the bed or in the living room with the other dogs playing in the yard. Tina was kind enough to meet me partway to return some things that got left behind and Mia was so excited to see her again that made my heart really happy that mia really did enjoy her visit with them and her runs through the woods.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“My dog had a great time with Cameron and her dog Bo. I was updated daily on the fun they were having. She treated my dog like part of the family. We will definitely use Cameron in the future.”

“This was Cashew's his first time without me and he's two! He's a blond and white 11 pound Pomeranian So it was kind of a big deal especially for me to leave him with a new person for 2 nights and three days. Teresa set up a play date for him one day which he loved . I found Cashew happy and calm when I returned. Teresa is very calm, very attentive and loving. Also she reliable and trustworthy. Cashew stayed at her place but Ill be giving her a key to my home in the future. She supplied him with plenty of play and walks. She will be my first choice when I need a sitter. Julie V.”
