“We love Aaron! He goes the extra mile with our cats who are always so happy and relaxed after he has cared for them. On his last visit he noticed the laser pen batteries were low so he replaced them so that the cats didn’t miss out on their play time. And Aaron always keeps us updated with how the cats are doing. He’s the best pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I have had dogs all my life and have a lot of experience caring for them. I currently work from home and take my personal dog on 2-3 walks/day and would love to either include your dog on a walk or take them separately. She is good around the majority of dogs but I can walk your dog separately with absolutely no issues! I am always highly aware on walks and carry pepper spray for humans and other dogs. I know what to do when attacked by another dog and how to keep your dog safe. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule to take your pups on a walk in the park. I live in the NW part of town. I can easily walk your dog from your home or load them up in my car for a bigger adventure to a park and more!
“Kevin is excellent and would highly recommend him. He is very comfortable and caring with animals and clearly enjoys being around them. His report cards are very thorough. Recently Kevin watched our cats and we had a last minute medical situation that involved giving one cat eyedrops. Kevin handled it smoothly and I felt good knowing that he was caring for our cats.”
“It was a pleasure having Abbey care for my senior cat over the past few days. From our first meeting, I felt very comfortable with her and my cat did, too! Her correspondence was always quick, friendly, and concise, she provided regular updates and photos, and kept the cat's areas super tidy -- making me confident that my cat was in very good hands. I will absolutely have Abbey look after my cat whenever I go out of town -- if I could give more stars, I would!”
“Best sitter ever! On time and great communication. She sent tons of picture updates. She did great with my grumpy dog and you could tell the other one loved her with the smile on her face in the updates. I will be using her every time I go out of town. She’s amazing!!”
“Helen is wonderful! She went above and beyond to take great care of my special needs kitties. She’s reliable, responsible, experienced, and prepared. Even my shy boy warmed up to her quickly. Thank you so much Helen!”
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! 🐾
“Lexus was awesome! She came in at the last minute because I had another sitter cancel on me. She was quick to respond and showed up on late notice to do the meet and greet. I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her!”
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. Growing up in Mexico, my family had a big heart for stray dogs. We started bringing them home as a teenager, nursing them back to health and helping them find forever homes. 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! It’s safe to say, the love for helping dogs runs in the family. During the winter season, my availability tends to open up quite a bit, providing ample opportunity for pet care engagements. I’m more than willing to discuss and arrange a schedule that best accommodates your pet’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I diligently follow any specific care instructions you provide, ensuring that your pet’s routine remains consistent and familiar. I am always ready to respond to any specific needs or emergency situations, equipped with the knowledge and experience to handle various scenarios confidently.
“I love having Lizzy as a pet sitter! She is super reliable, communicative, and is great with my cats - even the shy ones. I’m usually very anxious when I’m away from my cats and home, but Lizzy’s diligent care puts me at ease.”
“Katie was a big help with our senior dog who uses a wheelchair. She came to help get him set up for his walks. He wasn’t quite himself on the second day, and we wondered if it could be a uti? Vet said to bring in a urine sample so she helped with getting that and it was not easy! Even volunteered to help get him to the vet if I needed that. She spent over the allotted time helping. She’s a caring and knowledgeable person!”

“Cat was brand new to my crazy crew of THREE animals, two of them young and one still very new to me. She picked up immediately on all of their particulars and personalities, was timely, attentive, committed and flexible. So appreciated and will definitely be at the top of my list for future babysitting needs. :)”

Kevin was great with my three dogs. They have different needs due to their varying ages, and Kevin did so well managing their walks. He has great communication and I felt comfortable and confident that they would be taken care of while I was out. We will be booking Kevin again for our dog walking needs.
Hope was amazing with my high-energy pup. She went above and beyond a typical drop in visit, taking her out on the bike twice a day, plus trips to the river and the park. My dog was loving every minute with her, from the videos she sent. It's such a relief to find someone who understands what an active dog actually needs and treats her like her own. I'll definitely be booking Hope again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! Thank you Hope!
I am now a long term customer with Judy. She is a reliable and wonderful sitter. My cat is old and very attached to me, so I have a really hard time leaving her. Unfortunately, I travel quite often. Judy provided me with the reassurance I need to feel comfortable leaving my cat. Not only was Judy consistent and communicative, but she was extremely helpful to me with an unrelated maintenance issue at my house. I will be using Judy as long as she is willing to babysit. She’s great!
Christina was amazing! She sent pictures and thorough updates every visit which really eased my mind. She made sure I knew how they were eating, if they used the litter box, and she also brought up any concerns that she had. She also took in my mail and packages without me even mentioning which I really appreciated! She did an amazing job and I can really tell that she has a passion for animals. My one cat is a little temperamental but Christina took it in stride and by the end of the week I could tell my kitty was starting to look forward to her visits. It was also my first time having someone other than family watch my cats so I was a bit nervous. Christina was really great though and I will definitely be booking her again the next time I’m away. She’s really someone you can trust with your pets. Thank you so much for the great job!
Wonderful experience with Ellyn. She watched my to senior cats while I was on a work trip. She took great care of them and I never had to worry. She provided them with lots of attention and watched out for their particular health issues. She communicated well thoughout. Thankfully to have found a trustworthy sitter in Bend.
Christofer was great dropping in on our 2 frenchies . Excellent communication, and got in 2 walks on his short drop in visits. He even went above and beyond and cleaned up the back yard. I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to care for your fur babies.
Fleur was great with my kitty Boo! She was patient when he was being shy and spent a lot of time with him each day during the drop-in visits. He even ended up sitting on her lap, which is something he never does with people that are not family. I will definitely use Fleur again and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.
This was our first time leaving our cat & we could not be more grateful for the care Caroline provided. Caroline is responsible, reliable, kind, and understands felines. She took the time to meet us and learn about Yuri's preferences. (she also met Yuri's dog and he loved her too). It was a tremendous relief to know he was in such good hands. It was evident our cat was extremely well care for and cared about. This was a big deal for us and we could not be happier

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bend is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 837 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bend. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bend. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
