About: Dog mom here to, two adventurous rescues 5 and 7 years old! I’m passionate about helping our doggie community here in beautiful Bend! Whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, house sitting, or taking your pup on an outdoor adventure, I’m here to give them the love and exercise they deserve. I enjoy hiking, running, and mountain biking with my fur friends and always follow community dog rules to ensure everyone’s safety. Available on short notice and dedicated to providing the best care possible—your pup will be in great hands! Thanks for visiting my profile, and I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine! I work, but I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, check-ins, and house sitting—often on short notice. Of course, the more notice the better, but I’m happy to accommodate when I can! When caring for pets in their home, I stick to their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—and make sure they get plenty of attention and love. I also keep your home tidy, respect house rules, and am happy to water plants or bring in mail. You can trust your pets (and home) are in responsible, caring hands!
“Kelly is incredible. She watched my 2 golden doodles and I immediately felt comfortable with her and I know my dogs did too. I had regular text and photo updates throughout her stay and she was a great communicator. I look forward to booking her in the future!”
“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.”
“Hannah is amazing!! Completely trustworthy and took great care of our 2 high-energy dogs. They had lots of adventures with her and we got photos every day. It was so nice to not worry about them at all while we were away. We will 100% use her again :) Thanks Hannah!”
“Jessica is a very thoughtful and conscientious dog-sitter. She kept me updated throughout the time she was taking care of Oko, including photos and videos, and left the house in perfect condition. She also did a great job of coordinating and communicating with the vet clinic and me when Oko had an unexpected health issue.”
About: I have raised and taken care of a number of animals including dogs and cats, and am comfortable with puppies. I absolutely love evening walks with dogs and hanging out with cats! I have a flexible remote schedule that allows me take care of your animal and household needs and spend plenty of time with your pets. When I am caring for pets in a client's home I give particular attention to the cleanliness of the space by always cleaning up after the pet and making sure everything is how it was left.
“Yonah was great with our dogs. They settled immediately upon meeting her and we knew they were in good hands. She sent the perfect amount of updates while we were gone. We returned to happy pets!”
“Dafne was amazing with my 8 year old Great Dane! Mac can be timid and slow to warm up and her calm demeanor and patience had him warmed up in no time. They had a wonderful weekend together and I got so many picture updates. 🥰 I’d love to have Dafne stay with my guy again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Mackenzie was FANTASTIC! She took our dogs out for activities (hiking, walking) several times each week. She sent us pictures of the dogs about 3 times per week, just to update us that everything was going well. The dogs loved her and seemed to be happy and content when we got home from our trip. She also took good care of our house including washing the sheets and cleaning up prior to her departure. We would absolutely use Mackenzie again in the future. She was great!!!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Deschutes is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night.

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 Deschutes 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 Deschutes 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 Deschutes 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
