“Karla was absolutely awesome. She has watched Poppy and Dash a couple times now and when I come home, I can tell they were so cared for, they seemed happy and worn out from their walks. Karla is very kind and response so quickly to request and of course sent plenty of lovely pictures along the adventures.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Caroline is a wonderful and conscientious caregiver. She is attentive and considerate of our slightly high maintenance pup! Will definitely check her schedule first in the future”

“Carla was awesome. I was able to book her for a few walks on short notice. I had never used a dog walker before for one of my dogs and she had a hard time adjusting but Carla took the extra time to try to get the dog used to her. By the end, my dog was comfortable with being walked by her which was a miracle and I would happily recommend Carla and book her again. Very reliable and definitely a kind dog caretaker.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bend
I cannot say enough good things about Cheri! She is walking my dog, Ollie, while I am recovering from foot surgery. Ollie is getting very attached to her, which is a big deal for this shy boy. First, all he wanted was to stay by me (cute but not good for him), but she patiently coaxed him out of the house, and now he willingly goes out and about in the world while I continue to heal at home. He comes back with a very happy face. :-) Cheri has won over both me and Ollie. She is communicative, friendly, personable, and super trustworthy. And... she has saved me from so much stress. Dog lovers will understand. Knowing your dog is happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself while you can't be there for him is priceless.
Amazing! First time I met him, and he was phenomenal. Quick response, on time, truly in it for the love of dogs and just wanting to help out. Immediately obvious a person of stellar character and integrity. And sacrificed 13 years to serve our country in the Army. Both my pup and I look forward to their next get together!
Jazmin was great. I live in Portland and was coming to Bend for a few days. I was hiking South Sister and couldn't leave Hope all day without breaks (and belly rubs). Jazmin and I connected before I came to Bend, she was very responsive and then was able to meet with me the day I arrived to do a meet and greet.and then stop by several times while I was hiking. Hope loves her!
Caitlin was great! She is so kind, friendly, and caring! She took great care of my dog and worked with me through all the craziness of moving places! You can tell she really loves and cares about animals! She is also a great communicator and leaves a detailed report card!
Sage has been walking Margot for a few years now and is AMAZING. 👏 Margot’s heel has improved so much. I used to not be able to walk her in public spaces out of fear of her pulling me or reacting to other dogs and now I’m able to walk her in some of the busiest of walkways and she stays in a heel. Sage is also a great communicator and always sends me a little blurb debriefing how the walk went that day. I highly recommend Sage if you want your pup in great hands!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bend is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bend. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Bend. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bend after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bend. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
