We have used low-energy implanted muons as a volume sensitive probe of the magnetic properties of ${\mathrm{EuO}}_{1-x}$ thin films. We find that static and homogeneous magnetic order persists up to the elevated $T_{\mathrm{C}}$ in the doped samples, and the muon signal displays the double dome feature also observed in the sample magnetization. Our results appear incompatible with either the magnetic phase separation or bound magnetic polaron descriptions previously suggested to explain the elevated $T_{\mathrm{C}}$, but are compatible with an RKKY-like interaction mediating magnetic interactions above 69 K.
