Dog Walking Bend

About: I've had dogs around me my whole life, and I love working with all animals—cats, dogs, big and small! I'm super flexible and open-minded. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own as a college student, I love getting the chance to care for them whenever I can! I recently finished my summer courses, so my schedule is currently wide open! I am fully flexible to accommodate any needs your pets may have! I can provide safe, loving, and attentive care adjusted to your pet's routine. I will maintain a clean environment and respect your space, plus send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind!

About: I've had dogs all my life. I recently lost my 16 year old dog Juno after rescuing him when he was 4. I gave him the very best life possible and while I'm not ready to get another dog yet, I need to have dogs in my life. I am both volunteering and fostering dogs through Street Dog Hero which has been great. II'm happy to have your pup curl up next to me on the couch and also in bed. I'm also fine to administer medication. I'm basically retired so available to spend almost the whole day with your dog. I will occasionally have errands, go for a run, etc and happy to let your dog stay home alone if you're comfortable or perhaps go for a ride if convenient. I have my own home, fully fenced front and back yard. Your dog will get at least 2-3 walks per day and can be crated if that's your preference (you will need to provide the crate).

“David has been an incredible dog walker for my dog Sasha. He is outgoing, fun-loving, and genuinely loves animals. What amazed me most was how quickly Sasha bonded with him — she is usually very shy around strangers, but she connected with David immediately. Now she gets excited every time she sees him! Their walks around the neighborhood are always an adventure, and it’s clear how much David enjoys exploring nature with her. He is kind, funny, dependable, and brings such positive energy to every walk. Watching Sasha so happy and comfortable with him has been wonderful. It truly feels like the perfect match.”

“Emerson has been taking Bella on long walks while I am recovering for surgery. Bella is a very hyper , leash reactive dog. Emerson has been on time and takes her for an hour and a half which tires her out to the max. So greatful for Emerson, and her ability to handle my high maintainenance high energy pup! Note: Bella is not the best on leash, she tends to pull and Emerson is really handling it. She walks Bella three times a week.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and patient, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats when my you may need! I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your dogs or cats in your home anytime you need.

“Kaili does so amazing with our big boy Westley! He’s a sensitive soul and he’s so excited to see her when she arrives for walks, he very much trusts her and has a great time and comes home happy and tired.”

About: Hi! I'm Naomi, a lifelong animal lover based in Bend, Oregon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were family. I share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or prefers a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dependable, attentive care with regular photo updates, so you'll always know how your pets are doing while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, and giving pets the patience and affection they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own, providing plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. * Experienced caring for both dogs and cats * Comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and multiple-pet households * Reliable, responsible, and communicative * Flexible scheduling * Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment * Regular photo and message updates * Calm, patient approach that helps pets feel at home I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it's the perfect fit! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying overnight, stopping by for a visit, or joining me for a walk, they'll receive consistent care, exercise, and lots of affection. I plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they have regular potty breaks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, walks, and time to relax. I believe keeping pets on their usual routine helps them feel comfortable and reduces stress while you're away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn each pet's routine—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any medications or special instructions. Keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them settle in and feel at home. My home features a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a secure place to run, play, sniff, and enjoy the outdoors under my supervision. In addition to backyard playtime, each day includes walks, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Safety is always my top priority. Pets are never left outside unattended, I closely supervise all interactions, and I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home where they can relax and feel at ease.

About: Caring for your dog will be the highlight of my day! I grew up with Bernese Mountain dogs and have always loved all animals. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as the responsibility that comes with caring for them day to day. Over the years, I’ve also watched friends’ dogs ranging from small poodle mixes to large labs, each with their own personalities and needs. I’m happy to take your dog on walks or do in-home drop-in visits. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals so I'll cherish the time I get to spend with yours! I’m attentive, calm, and treat pets like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm working full time from home and have a very flexible job. I'm available to check in on your pet most days and am happy to come by whenever works best for you. I am happy to come and check in on your pet and give them whatever care is needed in your home or take them out for a walk.

“Sara walked our pup while we were on vacation and to take some stress off of my mom who was watching our toddler. My mom raved about how sweet and dependable Sara was for walks and our pup was very well cared for. Thank you so much, Sara! We hope to have you sit Harper again in the future!”

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life. Part of my chores around the house has always been taking my dog out on a walk around the neighborhood and I have the skill necessary to keep my dog safe from other dogs that might not be so friendly while also allowing him to go about his business.

“Ginny has walked my senior boy weekly for several months. She is very patient with him, going at his pace and letting him sniff more than walk. Ginny is excellent communicator, always on time and genuine nice person. And best of all Saru loves her and is always happy to go on a walk with her. I can't recommend her higher and you will be lucky to have her walk you dog.”
