About: I have decades of experience caring for my own dogs, cats, and other critters. I offer walks, hikes, fetch, and cuddles for pets who are into that sort of thing. For shy kitties, I’ll handle meals and litter-box duty without making things awkward. Can't wait to meet your fur baby! I am a part-time WFH entrepreneur who enjoys the scheduling flexibility of the gig lifestyle. The kids are grown and there no grandbabies on the horizon so I either need to start loving on other people's pets or start a petting zoo! Your piece of mind is my priority. When caring for your fur baby in your home or out for some exercise, I will follow your guidelines and standards. I am happy to send text/picture updates as often as you like.
“Would not hesitate to use Scott again for the care of my dog. Excellent communication regarding his drop in visits with a super energetic and enthusiastic demeanor when interacting with my dog. Highly recommend. Super reliable, even when traveling in a snow storm, to care for my pet.”

“Adriana was great! We booked her last minute to watch our 16 week old black lab pup for us while we were at work one weekend and she did an awesome job. She sent lots of photos, took him on a walk, and played lots of tug of war. We will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”

“Thank you, Simone! From beginning to end, Simone left me at ease. She was flexible in finding a time to come over and meet my dog. Lumpy can be a bit hesitant with new people and she approached him slowly and kindly. He warmed up to her real fast! She is communicative and flexible and couldn’t recommend enough!! Thank you again x”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born a truly love all animals. I see them as our companions who deserve the best all the time!

I work from home so I have total availability to be there for your pet whenever and for however long you need! I work from home and love animals; so I can make any schedule work. Need me for 1 hour every day? Done. Need me all day for a week? Done. I have a fairly flexible schedule meaning walks can be sprinkled in throughout the day.

I believe all animals should be treated with trust and respect; nobody knows your animal better than you. So please give me any guidance and advice as to how to make their time apart from you as safe, and comfortable as possible.

About: I am an absolute dog lover! I grew up my entire childhood with dogs since as young as I can rememeber. When I was little I thought families who didnt have dogs were weird lol. I just didn't understand how people grew up without a dog?! When I was younger I wanted to grow up to be a vet because I just wanted to take care of animals. Until I was 12 and learned I was allergic to cats! What a horrible experience. But I am a huge dog lover and cherish my sweet Border Collie Murphy and mixed husky Lolo. I love anything outdoors, especially hiking! And of course anything animal friendly! Cuddles are my favorite and the couch and bed are a free for all in my house! ❤ I’m currently away from work for my mental health, so walking dogs helps me stay active and happy! The more steps the better ahead! I have a lot of free time to walk and watch pups! I can walk pups on leash or cater to whatever needs they have.

I have been house/pet sitting in the Bend area for four years. I absolutely love it. I am originally from Montana and Alaska. I have 2 adult children and 7 grand babes. I moved to Bend to be near them. While you are away I can collect your mail, water houseplants, take out trash, water lawn/flowers or whatever you may need. I promise to keep your home better than you left it and give your pets the very best love and attention.

“Stacey did a great job. She was punctual, did everything we asked her to to do, including administering a medication to one of my dogs. Dogs were relaxed and happy when we came home. She walked them and fed them with no issues.”
About: Hello! I love taking care of dogs and cats. I work in Bend full time at a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Growing up my parents bred black labs, so I have been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. We’ve always had 2-5 very energetic hunting dogs around, so I assure you I can keep up! I would love to connect with you to discuss the best care for your pet. My current work schedule is Monday-Friday, working 6am-3pm, with a break around lunch time. I usually let the dogs out early and feed them before I leave, come back during my lunch breaks, and back over after to work to spend the night with the dogs. When possible, I spend the night at the owners home. I think this helps make the dog more comfortable. I usually will go for a walk at lunch time or in the evenings (or both).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bend
Kevin was great with my three dogs. They have different needs due to their varying ages, and Kevin did so well managing their walks. He has great communication and I felt comfortable and confident that they would be taken care of while I was out. We will be booking Kevin again for our dog walking needs.

Hope was amazing with my high-energy pup. She went above and beyond a typical drop in visit, taking her out on the bike twice a day, plus trips to the river and the park. My dog was loving every minute with her, from the videos she sent. It's such a relief to find someone who understands what an active dog actually needs and treats her like her own. I'll definitely be booking Hope again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! Thank you Hope!

Christofer was great dropping in on our 2 frenchies . Excellent communication, and got in 2 walks on his short drop in visits. He even went above and beyond and cleaned up the back yard. I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to care for your fur babies.

We love Caitlin! She is thorough, thoughtful and a true caregiver for our dog while we are gone. She goes above and beyond our expectations every time and is an excellent communicator. There is no doubt that we will try to rebook Caitlin next time we need someone!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bend is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $34 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bend. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bend choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bend with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
