“Shelby was great! She was very attentive to Lucy and sent me photos and constant updates. My house was immaculate when she left. I definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“We love Amy! This was the second time she’s stayed in our home and watched Kodi. She is so great with her, and I love how proactive she is about communication and updates. Like last time, we loved that she took Kodi on daily outdoor adventures, and even made sure my garden seedlings stayed alive while we were gone 😁 Amy is wonderful and we will certainly book again.”
“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”
“It is SO hard for me to leave my beloved, almost 17-year-old little dog. What a relief to have found someone as caring and reliable as Lin! She was great with Buddy, conscientious about the house, and kind to me. Her thoughtful texts and photos effectively calmed my anxiety so I could enjoy my trip. Buddy and I are already looking forward to the next time!”
“This was our first time trying out Rover. Naturally we were a little bit nervous about leaving our dogs during our trip out of the country. We could not have found someone better to watch our boys. Mashawna and Brett are so kind and caring, fun and outgoing, and I couldn't recommend them more. We hope that they will continue to be available if we should leave again, because I wouldn't want anyone else to watch the boys. They took them for walks, to the dog park, and stayed at our house to watch over everything and be with the boys while we were gone for 10 days. It was such a relieving and comfortable experience working with them. We are very happy that we decided to use Rover, and very happy that we found Mashawna and Brett. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, because they deserve far more.”
“Anna did a great job taking care of my pup while I was out! Made sure to keep communicating while I was away and send pictures to make sure I knew he was alright. I would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Kelly was wonderful!! My dogs had several walks a day, which is more than they are used to (lucky kids), they were never left alone for long, and Kelly always made me feel at ease and like all was well back home while I was away.”
“Great sitter, took great care of the pets and house, was easy to communicate with, sent picture updates and left us feeling good and confident while away from the house.”
“Emma came & went through the days, took Josie on walks and seemed to enjoy her stay at our home. Josie loved her from the minute they met, so we felt comfortable with the plan. We would be more than happy to hire her again.”
“Benny is very particular with people, but he loved Lindsey! She went above and beyond. She housesat for me and took Benny for walks, washed the bedding, and sent me photos and updates! 10/10 recommend!”
“Karina was great. Very communicative, offered a meet-and-greet before booking the stay, and sent lot's of images and videos throughout the stay. She went above and beyond in sending overviews of her walks and extra videos. Came home to a happy and healthy pup, clean house, and would definitely use her again.”
“Selfishly hate to leave a good review in case Brian isn’t available for us next time, but he went above and beyond. Our pets were so well cared for, he sent updates and pictures of them out and about, and was proactive with issues that came up on our property. We’re grateful we found the perfect person”
“Ian was marvelous taking care of our big baby! We were able to relax on our trip knowing Walter was safe at home being well take care of! Ian is professional, punctual, caring, clean, and kind!”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our cat and two dogs! She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip and ensured that everyone was well taken care of. Also, she was super pleasant to communicate with! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“We have used Leslie twice for dog sitting and love her!! Our dog Scarlett is nervous around new people. Leslie came over before our first trip away to meet us and Scarlett and it was obvious she knew what she was doing. She gave Scarlett time to adjust and sure enough Scarlett was sleeping in bed with her the first night. Leslie is very easy to communicate with and sends pictures and videos to keep us updated while we’re gone. We are repeat customers for sure!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bend
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bend on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bend. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bend walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bend maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
