“💯 recommend Tessa and her family. They are absolutely wonderful. Ruger loves going there. I am Abel to leave him and not worry about his care. I know he is in good hands with them.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this family! When another Rover sitter canceled on us at the last minute, they graciously stepped up to help us and made us and our dogs feel so welcome within a matter of moments. We got frequent photos and updates, and we can tell that our dogs were truly loved and part of the family. Believe every five star review you read here, this is not a sitter to pass up! Thank you all again!”
“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.”
“Griffin is gentle, soft-spoken, and was sweet and patient with our timid little dog. We really appreciated that he sent us photos during our dog’s stay, which was reassuring that she had settled in and looked plenty comfortable. Although he lives in an upstairs apartment with a balcony, he took our dog out regularly, several times a day. He was conscientious, and communicated well.”
“Cecilia and family took great care of my babe over a long weekend while I was out of town. She sent pictures and updates ensuring me she was having a wonderful time sunbathing and getting lots of cuddles. She has a back yard and took Helena outdoors to keep her fit and healthy. Cecilia is responsive and allowed me to be flexible given I was flying. I would recommend Cecilia for your pup's boarding anytime!”
“Julie was so amazing with Kylo and Jackson was an added bonus. She was so attentive, communicative and made sure we receive pictures of Kylo everyday. She was also accommodating with picking up and dropping Kylo off. Kylo was so happy in the care of Julie and Jackson. We definitely recommend Julie and Jackson as your sitters. We will certainly use Julie again whenever we need to board our Kylo.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Julie during the World Championship track meet. He is an active, older border collie who needs a little extra attention, and Julie was very sensitive to his needs and quirks! She kept him busy and happy, and kept us updated with nice photos everyday. We could see that Julie is kind and gentle with animals, and very knowledgeable about dogs and their various personalities. We highly recommend her, and if we are back in the Eugene area, will happily have her care for our dog again. Thank you Julie!”
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.
“Seemed to be very caring with our dog and stayed in touch with us. Baxter came home and seemed happy and ready to crawl into his favorite space and take a long nap.”
“Alex was wonderful! The pictures that she sent me reassured me that Luke was being cared for and he had a lot of fun playing with her dogs. I highly recommend her and definitely will rebook with her on our next adventure.”
“Tina was amazing and friendly and clearly had a great time with Cosmo. Demonstrated a solid understanding of dog behavior and offered us lots of different options for Cosmos boarding experience. Would recommend!”
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.
“Brandy is loving and caring for our pooches. She is very sweet and accommodating and our dogs had a great time staying with her and playing with her own dogs in the yard. Would recommend.”
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.
“Thanks to Wilna and her husband for taking good care of my girl. I was nervous to leave her because I had adopted her just three months ago, but a family emergency made it necessary. The photos and updates I received reassured me that she was doing well. She came home happy.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
