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.
“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.”
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).

About: With over 15 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I’ve developed a deep understanding and connection with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities.

It was an amazing experience, and it’s stuck with me all these years. Now, my sister has taken it to the next level—she’s got over 20 dogs under her care!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and routines, including playful and high-energy dogs. I currently have two very active, social dogs of my own, so I understand how important exercise, structure, attention, and consistency are. I know dogs are happiest when they can maintain their normal routines while their people are away. My home is a comfortable, relaxed environment where dogs can get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routines, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority, and I’ll keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is well cared for. I’m currently spending more time at home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dogs with the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve throughout the day. I have two active dogs of my own, so my home is already set up for dogs to feel comfortable and part of the household. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and especially love keeping playful, active dogs entertained. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your dog more one-on-one attention than they might get with a typical boarding arrangement. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed, fun home where your dog can enjoy their stay while you’re away. My home has a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for dogs to get outside and play. Any potentially harmful substances or household items are safely stored and kept out of reach. I will follow your rules and instructions for your dog, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, boundaries, and any specific needs. I want your dog to feel comfortable and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible while they’re staying with me. Safety, supervision, and communication are important to me, and I’ll treat your dog like a member of my own household.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bend
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!!
So grateful to have found Kersie- not only is she responsible and professional, she was super communicative, flexible and patient with our rescue pup who can be a little apprehensive with new people. I would recommend Kersie 100% and look forward to working with her in the future.

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 your Bend. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
