“Kaili was amazing! Super attentive, responsive, and punctual! She took great care of my dogs & kept me updated throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. She also took wonderful care of the house & I returned to clean sheets and bedding! Cannot recommend Kaili enough.”
About: I have always had pets (cats and dogs) until I left Europe to travel 4 years ago. Since then, I have regularly pet and house sat for friends and through word-of-mouth. As I just moved to Bend to work for Heart of Oregon, I am looking for opportunities to pet-sit here. I'm easy-going and love playing, cuddling, and going on walks. I am currently working 8am to 4pm, but I can come back on my lunch break to check on them and let them out. I am very adaptable - whatever their need is, I can catter to it. I work 8 to 4:30 everyday, but could come by on my lunch break and am happy to play longer hours before and after work. I live in my van so I can easily move to a new place without impeding on space. I'm really organized and respectuous, and can easily comply to special needs.
“Shelby is great! She watched my dog for a day while I was away. She took him on multiple walks, followed my instructions and sent me a lot of updates throughout the day. I felt that my dog was safe and in a good hands. Highly recommend Shelby!”
“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.”
“Liz was so attentive and sweet! Our pup has some stranger danger but very quickly Liz won her over and they had a great weekend. Would highly recommend Liz for all your furry friends!”

“Lindsey did an excellent job watching our five year old Frenchie, Maisey. Our pup immediately took to her on our meet and greet and was super happy to see Lindsey when she came to watch her. We will definitely be using Lindsey again for future sitting needs.”
“Leslie is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our two Giant Breed dogs. I really appreciated how she kept us up to date with photos and notes. The dogs loved her and we look forward to having her sit again!”
“Lauren is fantastic! She is prompt with communication and checked in the day before her arrival to make sure her check-in time was still going to be ok. She sent pictures and notes to reassure us that the 3 dogs were being well cared for and enjoying time with Lauren. She double checked with us, as well, on her day of departure to make certain her leave time was going to be ok. She is very professional and great what she does. We will definitely reach out to her again for any future pet sitting adventures.”

Highly reccomend Caroline!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deschutes River Woods
Indy is indeed grounded, calm and kind. Upon meeting my still active 16 yo dog, she immediately focused on connecting with him one on one. He loved her peaceful nature, and I felt assured, leaving him in her capable hands for 2 days and overnight. Looking forward to future stays!
Jenny took wonderful care of our two Britneys! She needed endless patience with our 10 months old pup, he has a lot of energy! Thank you for taking such good care of both of our dogs and the house looked amazing when we walked through our door! I recommend Jenny and would use her again for pet/housesitting.
My pup is very attached so leaving him for a week was hard! He was so happy when we got home and seemed to have had a great time with Tammara. She sent us photos of their time together and let us know how he was doing regularly which eased my overprotective mind. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup too.
Libby was AMAZING! She was so caring and treated my pups so great as if they were her own. This was literally the first time ever leaving my dogs with a dog sitter and not being constantly worried about my babies. I was able to travel completely anxiety free and she had great communication and sent pics everyday!
Savannah is a good dog sitter. She got Sunny to the neighborhood park on a leash (he's not the easiest fellow to lead) and let him do his favorite thing: long distance fetching. She welcomed him onto her bed at night. She tolerated his eneergy level. She gave him medication as prescribed. And I came home to a happy dog!
Kenzie helped us watch our dog while we were out of town. This was our first time using rover and an in house sitter and it went very smoothly! I was able to relax and know my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kenzie and will hopefully be rebooking her for future trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Deschutes River Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deschutes River Woods on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deschutes River Woods. 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 Deschutes River Woods 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 River Woods 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 River Woods 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.

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.
