About: I’m a responsible, attentive, and patient sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Having a dog of my own has taught me how important it is to understand each pet’s personality, respect their needs, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to adapt to different energy levels, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a more relaxed day with lots of companionship. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I get off work at 3:30… sometimes even earlier! I’d love to come hangout with your pet afterwards, I am free on weekends all hours. I provide loving, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and needs. I want owners to feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away! 🐾
“Lin stayed with our kittens while we were away and I can't recommend her enough. She asked great questions during our meet and greet, was responsive, sent great updates about the cats and took great care of our house and plants too. Highly recommend.”
“Sydney did an amazing job with our pups! She kept us updated with the CUTEST pictures the entire time we were away and our dogs had the best time! I would highly recommend her!! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Victoria was a lifesaver! Our previous pet sitter canceled last-minute over a holiday weekend :-| Victoria stepped in and took excellent care of our dog and cat. She took it in stride that our pup unexpectedly needed daily ear cleaning over the weekend. She also sent us regular text and video updates. We can home to a perfectly clean house. I would absolutely ask Victoria back again!”
“Unbelievable - that is how we would describe our experience with Suzanne. A last minute trip for us, we reached out to Suzanne and had her come to our home for a meet-n-greet for us and our kids. It was a home run for both us and the kids. Suzanne's pleasant demeanor and professionalism put us right at ease. Great communication with text and pictures making us feel super happy with our choice on Suzanne services. I would absolutely be using Suzanne again for any trips we take in the future and would recommend and encourage her Awesome services to ALL.”
“Hayley was fabulous and gave us updates while we were away and she stayed at our place. She was flexible when we needed to leave a day early, sent us pictures, took our dog on adventures, and left the house clean! Will contact her to watch out dog and cat again!”
“Emily was incredible! She pet sat for my 4 fur kiddos who are not the easiest to care for and did a phenomenal job. Animals were very clearly well cared for and my house was immaculate upon returning. 11/10 cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Rebecca is amazing!!!! She’s super communicative, kind, and she saved the day for me last minute! Left my dogs happy and my house clean! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I’ve always had a pet as a member of my family. Cats and dogs. My current love is a super chill (yes, there is such a thing!) lab. Every walk is a mini training adventure. My lab Riley will get along with your pup, it’s just his nature. I provide enrichment during the day to keep boredom away. If I visit your cats, I know they might not visit me! I’ll just sit on the floor and wait for them to come out from under the bed! I’m fortunate to be able to adjust my retiree schedule every day. I’m flexible to your particular pet’s needs and schedule. It depends on the type of service, in my home or in yours. I have a completely fenced, (tall too) back yard. I don’t leave my pup unattended while he’s out. We leash walk mornings, afternoon and evenings. I have numerous sniffing loops I use as I live along the canal.
“Halley was wonderful. She house/dog sit for me and was great with communication -asking needs, preferences, and confirming considerations. I greatly appreciated it. She met Wally, she met me, took a walk through and I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be prompt and available. I would love to have her care take again and use her services 😊 I recommend for others easily”
“Kelly is the best! She and our young cat took to each other immediately and our little Guapo now has a new best friend. Kelly helped with some requested training and we came home to a very sweet and loving pet, which says a lot about her care. She’’s a clean and courteous house guest, kept plants watered, and let us know of a home need, much appreciated. I will definitely book Kelly again!”
“Leslie was phenomenal - had a plan to manage my very rambunctious dogs, was available on short notice and stayed later than needed just to be helpful, and wrote a wonderful note at the end of the weekend - 100% will be looking to her for help again in the future!”
“Yonah was incredible with our dog Bonnie! I got lots of photo updates which I love and Bonnie has never been so content and relaxed after a visit with the sitter. We can’t wait to rebook her again!”
“Leah was really easy to work with, very flexible and accomodating which was really helpful because our dog sitting window was a moving target. She sent us pictures and updates of the doggies during her stay and was very communicative and responsive. She also kept an eye on some of the plants that were getting thirsty, and made extra effort to clean bedding before leaving. Leah is great -- we would definitely book her again to watch our pups and house!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bend
Amy was the most perfect dog sitter! It was clear our pups were in good hands which made for a stress free time away from them. She exercised them multiple times a day and even took them on adventures to the park and on a hike. She communicated very well and left our home in perfect condition. We look forward to having our dogs spend more time with her in the future!
Emily did such a wonderful job with my two dogs! She has previously watched our older dog with normal brain, but this was one of the first times we had anyone sit for our newly adopted, people shy rescue. Emily was so understanding of her behaviors and focused on building positive experiences with exceptional patience. Her communication was timely and thorough. I would be very happy to book Emily again in the future!
Sherry was s fantastic sitter! Enzo was very happy, and very well taken care of. She brought her little dog, and Enzo has a new friend 🧡 Sherry sent daily updates and pictures. The house was immaculate, too! Sherry will be my first contact next time. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fleur did a great job with our sensitive rescue dog, who took her time trusting her, but Fleur was so calm and patient. In the end they were buddies! She house sat for a week and left our home immaculate and our dog happy and healthy. Definitely recommend and will use her again!
Alisia took great care of our pup! She was an excellent communicator, timely, and left our home in perfect condition. Our dog was not stressed out whatsoever when I returned home to her - Alisia kept her comfy and cared for. Will absolutely be requesting her support again in the future.
Liz did an excellent job watching our challenging pups! She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and loved. Our house was cleaner when we got back then when we left so really appreciated that! She was excellent at sending pics/video updates and always responded quickly to any communications. Will definitely use her again😀

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bend is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.

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.
