“Roxanne and Jeff were wonderful with our pup, Doug! We were in contact almost daily with text and photos. We were very comfortable with our meet and greet before we left our baby in their care. They are warm and caring.”
“Ashleigh was amazing. She helped us out last minute and took great care of our dog. He is an older dog with meds and she was so good to him. We got updates and photos daily. She was so easy to communicate with and really loved on my dog while I was away! I would highly recommend Ashleigh!”
“I only left Eddie overnight, but Michelle sent me tons of photos throughout that I really enjoyed. Her children were so sweet with Eddie. I could tell immediately when I picked him up that he had had a good time and was well taken care of.”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“Lisa and her family took such wonderful care of our elderly pup, Gary. Since Gary has gotten up in age and developed a degenerative condition (GOLPP), we have been anxious about leaving him because he requires a lot of additional TLC and maintenance. Lisa was beyond gracious, accommodating and treated Gary like he was one of her own🥰. Not only did she sleep downstairs with him on the couch for a few nights until he was comfortable in her home 🫶🏻 (bedrooms are upstairs and he can’t use stairs anymore as he weighs 90lbs), she sent long nightly updates with pics, and administered 2x daily medications. Another huge bonus that made Lisa invaluable was her veterinary experience. Gary has gained a lot of weight, as he has become increasingly immobile, but I haven’t adjusted his food intake or taken his treats into account. She helped me better understand what Gary’s daily calorie intake should look like. I really appreciate the compassion, kindness and overall canine knowledge Lisa and her family extended to Gary and our family. Would 💯 book again!!!!”
“Alex was easy to communicate with and took great care of our 2-year-old labradoodle. Huck loved spending the weekend with his new buddy Bruce in the huge backyard! We'll definitely be repeat clients!”
“Colin and his daughters were incredibly kind and helpful watching our dogs over the holiday weekend — especially with only 30 minutes notice! They sent photo updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and we never had to worry about our pups at all. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. We’re so grateful for their flexibility and care, and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Nicole and her family were great with Cooper. Sent pictures of the playtime they were having & kept me informed on how he was doing. When I arrived you could tell he had a full fun day of puppy ? playtime. Thank you so much.”
About: I have had the opportunity to raise all sorts of animals from chickens, goats, iguanas, to even an African Grey Parrot. As well as many pups. I've gained a lot of knowledge and practice in crate and potty training, teaching tricks and obedience, and even breaking some bad habits. Although if you have any pointers on the bob barkers, I'm all ears!!! I currently work 1 day out of the house, and the rest of the week I work from home, so I am able to be around most of the day with my own pups at my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly well behaved pups who would keep your pet company at all times. I also have my own large crate from when my last pup was still in training, in case it's needed. My significant other and I are very outdoorsy and love keeping the dogs burning energy any chance we get, playing fetch outside and teaching tricks for treats!
“Jamie was wonderful with my dog Oreo! My almost 13 year old chihuahua mix stayed with Jamie for a long weekend this summer. It was obvious Oreo had a wonderful weekend and was treated to plenty of walks, sun bathing on the couch, and cuddles. I loved the updates and pictures while I was away, they helped me know Oreo was safe and cared for deeply! Jamie was wonderful at listening to Oreo's needs for her older age, now needing soft food, no stairs, and shorter walks. All around I had a wonderful experience with Jamie and I'm sure Oreo did too!”
“Julie and Colin were AMAZING with my sweet puppy. They were super communicative, understood all of his needs, and gave him so much love during his stay. Would highly recommend to anyone in Bend!!!!”
About: Hi! I'm Naomi, a lifelong animal lover based in Bend, Oregon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were family. I share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or prefers a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dependable, attentive care with regular photo updates, so you'll always know how your pets are doing while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, and giving pets the patience and affection they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own, providing plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. * Experienced caring for both dogs and cats * Comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and multiple-pet households * Reliable, responsible, and communicative * Flexible scheduling * Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment * Regular photo and message updates * Calm, patient approach that helps pets feel at home I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it's the perfect fit! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying overnight, stopping by for a visit, or joining me for a walk, they'll receive consistent care, exercise, and lots of affection. I plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they have regular potty breaks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, walks, and time to relax. I believe keeping pets on their usual routine helps them feel comfortable and reduces stress while you're away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn each pet's routine—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any medications or special instructions. Keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them settle in and feel at home. My home features a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a secure place to run, play, sniff, and enjoy the outdoors under my supervision. In addition to backyard playtime, each day includes walks, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Safety is always my top priority. Pets are never left outside unattended, I closely supervise all interactions, and I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home where they can relax and feel at ease.
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience and a true love for dogs. I grew up in a home with two dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. For the past ten years, I had the privilege of raising and loving my dog, Finn, who recently passed away from old age. Through that journey, I gained not only the joy of companionship but also valuable skills in senior dog care, managing changing needs with patience, gentleness, and consistency. Because of this background, I’m comfortable supporting dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to older companions who require extra care and attention. And as a bonus, you’re actually getting two experienced dog lovers for the price of one! My husband has been caring for dogs since high school and was my partner in raising and loving Finn for the past ten years. Between the two of us, we bring decades of combined experience, plenty of extra hands for walks, playtime, and cuddles, and a shared commitment to making every dog feel right at home. Our home is very family-oriented. My husband and I share responsibilities, and our toddler absolutely loves dogs! We understand how important it is to create a safe, welcoming, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and included as part of the family. What truly sets us apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. Having been dog parents ourselves, we know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. We approach every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. Having spent over ten years caring for my dog Finn, and growing up with two family dogs, I’m used to building my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. We have a yard, and daily walks are a must. Walks are paired with play, training, and downtime so pets feel both stimulated and secure. Because I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting routines for extra energy or extra patience. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. My husband and I, along with our toddler, create a warm and social environment where dogs receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to routines, so feeding schedules, medications, and training practices are followed closely to keep pets comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in our home, I focus on maintaining the same consistency and comfort they’re used to. I respect each pet’s established routine, whether that means sticking to specific walk times, reinforcing training cues, or providing extra patience for senior dogs. My background includes raising my own dog, Finn, for ten years until he passed from old age, so I’m experienced with both puppy training and senior care. No matter the setting, my goal is always the same: to provide safe, reliable, and loving care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
“Sarah was awesome! She helped Jasper settle in the first night when he was feeling anxious. She took him for walks and to the park, sent updates and pics. He quickly relaxed and enjoyed his staycation. I will definitely use Sarah and again and would recommend her to friends.”
“So pleased after having met Jenna. She took great care of our girl. I'm sure my doggy appreciated the doggy door to the safe fenced yard. Jenna sent lots of pictures. Would absolutely use them again :)”

Or stay home and enjoy the yard. Whatever your pup needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thanks Carrie I work from home and my schedule is flexible. Leaving lots of time for long walks, dog park runs, or extra snuggles on the couch. What ever you dog needs, just let us know! Our house has a large fenced yard with grass to lounge or run in. Inside, there is plenty of space for dog beds or spots on the couch. The yard is fully fenced with direct access from house.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Deschutes is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deschutes
This was our first experience using Rover so we were a bit nervous because our pup needs daily, long exercise and we were afraid it would be difficult to find someone who would be able to tire him out. Claudia was perfect. Not only does she have 2 amazing dogs which Archie tirelessly played with, she made sure he was hiked or ran ea day. She also sent plenty of daily photos/ videos of his happy self. To put it simply, when we returned our pup was happy to see us but not truly ready to end his time with Claudia and her pack. Perfect. Needless to say, we will be using Claudia's service again and again and again. Thank you Claudia.
It is extremely hard to find a pet sitter that can handle my crew of furbabies is an understatement—and then I met Irene. I have three very special (and very challenging) dogs. My biggest girl is an Italian Mastiff—an absolute sweetheart, but incredibly strong on leash and sometimes a bit pushy with her sister. My middle girl is a 60 lb mix who adores people but is highly reactive to other dogs and motorcycles, especially on leash. And my littlest 40 lb mix is currently battling a very aggressive cancer, with complex medical needs that include daily bloody noses, reactivity to bikes and scooters, and no recall. Finding someone with the right environment—a fenced yard, no other pets, and the skill and patience to handle all of this—felt nearly impossible. Irene checked all the boxes on paper, but I was still so nervous about whether anyone could truly manage their needs. I was blown away from day one. I told Irene that if walks were too difficult, the dogs could just play in the yard. So imagine my surprise when I received my first update: all three dogs had been walked separately and did great. Not only that, she continued walking them daily in a neighborhood setting—something I don’t even feel comfortable attempting myself. She carefully planned each walk around timing and routes to avoid triggers, and somehow managed situations like other dogs passing by with my reactive girl. What meant the most to me was her mindset. Instead of judging or focusing on the challenges, she encouraged me. She highlighted the positives, recognized my dog’s anxiety for what it is, and shared how she helped calm her. She truly understood that my dog isn’t “difficult”—she’s just nervous because of her past. Irene even taught me new techniques for walking her that have made a noticeable difference. Beyond the walks, Irene handled their care flawlessly. My dogs have complex meals—five different components plus supplements and medications—and she managed everything perfectly. When my cancer-fighting pup stopped eating, she worked with me to find something he would eat. When he later developed loose stool, she proactively asked if she could give him pumpkin she had on hand. She even kept an eye on his tumor, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her home is absolutely perfect for dogs—comfortable, calm, and equipped with a secure, tall fenced yard. From the moment I walked in, I knew my pups would feel safe there. I was especially worried about my sick pup having bloody noses and potentially staining things, but Irene reassured me not to worry at all—and I could tell she truly meant it. The daily updates were incredible—detailed, thoughtful, and full of the cutest photos. When I picked my dogs up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. All of my belongings were clean, organized, and ready to go. I’ll be honest—I’m what most people would call a “crazy dog mom,” and in six years, Irene is only the second person I’ve ever trusted to care for my dogs. That alone should say everything. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own—with patience, skill, compassion, and genuine love—book Irene. She is truly amazing
Jessica & her family made our rescue dog Gracie SO comfortable and loved! She was not nervous when we dropped her off and exhausted from playing when we picked her up. Jessica is also flexible as our pick up time changed. We were only visiting Bend, but so happy we know where we can always take our grand dog for her own little vacation. Would absolutely recommend Jessica.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Deschutes can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Deschutes home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Deschutes.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deschutes. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
You and your Deschutes sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
