About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

About: With over 15 years of extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs, fish, and various other animals—I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after both family and friends' pets, as well as my own, and I fully understand how important your pets are to you. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family. I recognize that leaving your pet behind can be stressful, so I provide consistent updates and photos to ensure you feel confident and reassured while you're away. I have a personal dog, Arya, that accompanies me on all my pet care visits—she’s friendly, gentle, and always excited to meet a new buddy! Your pup will have a built-in playmate and never feel lonely while you're away. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet before to ensure all dogs and humans are a good fit! Additionally, I offer personalized enrichment activities designed to keep your pet mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting both their well-being and comfort. Whether it’s through interactive toys or custom-tailored playtime, I’m here to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for your pet. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can best accommodate your specific requirements. Rest assured, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet’s care is professional, compassionate, and stress-free. Let me provide you with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and energy to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I'm happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks at almost any time of day—just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I understand that every pet and every schedule is unique, and I’m committed to providing personalized, reliable care you can count on. Bend is full of beautiful outdoor spaces that are perfect for dogs to explore and enjoy. I regularly take pups on enriching sniff walks through scenic areas like Drake Park, Pilot Butte, and along the Deschutes River Trail—each offering a variety of sights, smells, and safe walking paths to keep your dog engaged and happy. If your pup enjoys more freedom and social time, I also frequent secure, fenced-in areas such as the Bob Wenger Memorial Off-Leash Area at Pine Nursery Park and the Big Sky Dog Park. These spots are great for off-leash play, running, and making new furry friends in a controlled environment. Whether your dog prefers a calm stroll through the neighborhood, a nature walk, or active play at the park, I’ll tailor each outing to fit their energy level, temperament, and routine. I offer flexible services including: Private or group walks Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) Off-leash park trips (with your permission) Puppy socialization outings Customized enrichment activities Just let me know what suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle best—I'm happy to work around your schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require medication or special attention. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and highly communicative, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind throughout every stay. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, attention, and care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Because I prioritize quality care, I make sure each pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention, exercise, and plenty of interaction rather than simply being watched. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor behavior changes, and ensure pets are never placed in situations that could compromise their safety. I also believe communication is essential, so you'll receive regular updates and photos to stay connected while you're away.

“Mack loved Abby! And bless her for coming to give me a puppy break on such a rainy, cold day. She took Mack for an extended walk and he came back good and tired. Exactly what was needed today!”

About: Iv always grown up around animals especially dogs. From a family setting to being just me and my dog in college. I’m a current service member so I have access on JBLM as well. I only have my one pup and getting her a fun friend for a few days is fun for us both. I’m currently off work all summer so I’m usually taking my dog on walks 2+ times a day and just getting out to enjoy the PNW sun. Super careful at first and then loosen up when I learn how they want to play and interact. Some dogs want go play 24/7 and some just like to be a potato. Both are great to me

About: I moved here in 2023 with my pup, Finn. My previous dog, Indie, passed away in 2022. I’ve been on Rover for over 6 years and take great care of all my clients. I recently obtained a job where I’m in an office until 5:30 PM, currently unavailable for pets that cannot be left alone for long periods. 😕 Bookings fill fast but it doesn't hurt to ask! I try to be flexible and other clients are usually understanding. Message me and let’s see if we can work together. I want your pet to feel at home in their own home! I keep an eye on them at all times but allow them their space to carry on as usual.

“Brendan is reliable and wonderful with our Siberian Husky! We really appreciate that he connects with our pup and takes him on long, brisk walks.”

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”
