“Tessa and Tyler did amazing with our very high energy puppy! This was his first time being away from us! We loved getting regular updates and they even sent him home with a little goodie bag! Bronco came home a very happy boy!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was our second time using Ying and it was fantastic! He has really bonded with our dog and made him very comfortable. Ying gives him lots of attention and exercise and the two of them have quickly become good friends. We are so happy to have found Ying!”
“Hamilton loved staying with Cecilia and her family over the holidays! I received updates and photos throughout his stay and Cecilia was very flexible with scheduling. Thank you so much for taking great care of him!”
“I would highly recommend Caleb to everyone! At our meet and greet, he asked a ton of questions about my pup, Atticus, and took notes of his needs and habits. Atticus is a very itchy boy and the fact that he came home without any hotspots is a testament to Caleb's attentiveness to care. Given the opportunity, I would not hestitate to book with Caleb again. He's also a great dog photographer, to say the least!”
About: I have experience with small Chihuahua breeds, and have grown up alongside Labs, Pitties and Rottweilers. I personally have trained our rottie on leash manners along with the many other dogs we’ve had growing up. I am an animal person through and through and through. I treat every animal to their specific needs for space, playtime, and rest time. I am currently working full time, but have evening availability 6 days per week. I have open availability two days per week and am open to last minute bookings. I am a responsible and detail oriented person who puts your pets needs first! We have a current puppy in training so I’m open to dogs of all ages. We have a fenced in yard, a nearby park and plenty of walking trails so there is the option to take your pups on walks if they are high energy. I have experience with small Chihuahua breeds, and have grown up alongside Labs, Pitties and Rottweilers. We love all shapes and sizes here!
“Rosie was well taken care of and Nova, Jonathan’s dog, was a great friend for her to hang out with. We were kept well informed and received pictures of Rosie throughout her stay. We will definitely use Jonathan again if we come back to Eugene and need a dog sitter!”
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.
“This was our first time using rover! Sabrina was super accommodating with my schedule/change of plans and our dog was such a happy girl when we came to pick her up. I loved getting the photo updates as well. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone in need of a pet sitter. :)”
About: New to pet sitting. But not new to relationships with dogs. Recently retired and wanting to do something I love. As a proud parent of 2 doggies, (Little Nellie our Mini Dachshund lies in bed next to me as a write this) I know what it is like to leave your dogs in the care of another. It can be stressfull worrying about them. My aim is make it as stress-free as possible. I will treat your dogs as family. Because they are. I have had many dogs over the years, from Great Danes to German Shepherds, and to my Irish Doodle Charlie. There is nothing like the bond between man and beast! (Cheap reference to Brad Pitt movie "Heart of the Beast") And while I'm no Brad Pitt, but we are the same age. (Maybe that makes me just like him?) I treasure that bond. I recently lost Kaisey my 11 year old frisbee partner in crime German Shepherd. My plan is to honor her legacy by providing loving and trusting care to your dogs. Sincerely Bobby, Nellie, Charlie, and of course Kaisey who is forever in my heart! My whole life resolves around the safety and well being of my dogs, we are frequent dog parkers, and whenever planning to go somewhere, my first question is can the dogs go? I have a large fenced yard and have taken extra procautions on not having escapees. My 2 doggies are very friendly and enjoy making new friends. Our dogs are rarely without human company.
“Brittany & her husband Eric are phenomenal dog people. Brittany sent me photos and videos every day for 2 full weeks. They have a loving home of dogs. My dog Lila started going blind a year and a half ago. Brittany & Eric made sure she got down the porch steps to their magnificent one acre fenced yard where Lila galloped and played her heart out with several dogs. It was a harmonious excursion. It’s hard to be separated from your animal. And bearable when literally see how much fun your dog is doing. I hope they will take care of Lila every time I go on a trip. I loved that their living room was full of neat dog beds & baskets of toys. This remarkable couple, Eric & Brittany, clear understand dog behavior & know how to alleviate potential problems. I highly recommend them to dog owners seeking a secure place with lots of roaming space for their dogs to have abundant fun. Mara Thygeson”
“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.”
About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.
“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.”
“Hannah was wonderful with our pup, Scout! Hannah asked great questions and shared lots of updates & photos. Scout is normally fairly anxious, but she settled in with Hannah quickly. We were able to enjoy our time out of town worry-free. We would definitely book with Hannah again.”
“Angie was exceptionally at taking care of my Gambit. She made sure to let me know that Gambit was been taking care of and having fun with her doggies by pictures and videos. She even accommodated us with more days due of my flight cancelation so I was very thankful and grateful with her. I would 100 percent recommend her.”
“Ellie was great with Bean. She was very communicative and asked questions upfront to make sure that Bean would be well cared for. Ellie provided multiple pictures and I could tell that my pup was having a blast with her. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Walker is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $52 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Walker can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walker home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Walker.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walker. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Walker sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
