Dog Walking Sunriver

“Leah walked our dogs over a couple of days and our dogs were happy and worn out. She was an excellent communicator and persevered through some tough weather to get them out.”

Keith B.

“Airanna was on time, communicated well, and most importantly was great with our sweet dog who can react to other dogs and animals. We will be delighted to hire her again.”

About: Life-long animal lover with deep respect for the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Animals are a very important part of my life & I understand that each have their own personality, needs and routines. Whether it is energetic playtime, quiet companionship or extra patience for senior pets, I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections. Pet care isn’t just a task for me - it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I am home for much of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, strict meal time schedule and plenty of loving interaction. We have dog parks & miles of walking trails in the resort, allowing for active play or quiet downtime…adapted to each pet’s individual needs. We have a consistent pet-focused routine as we have a wonderful 1yo Golden Retriever at home. She is sweet, playful and keeps us focused on regular interaction, exercise and mental stimulation.

“Evan was easy to work with and took good care of our pup.q I would gladly book him again and recommend him!!”

About: I am an experienced pet and house sitter. It was my first job as a kid and I continue to love it and take excellent care of your pets! I’m moving from Montana and hoping to line up some dog sitting gigs as I settle in to a new city. I travel a lot and am hoping to fill my time at home with dog sitting. I love dogs and am attentive to their needs. Whether it’s going on long walks or playing in the back yard, they will get my full attention.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, chickens, horses and we even had a turtle! Even from a young age, I had a passion for taking care of animals. I’m an active person that loves hiking and neighborhood walks with my very energetic and goofy English Setter. I also have two senior adopted cats that get daily snuggles as well. My husband and I lost our beloved blue heeler a couple of years ago who was our adventure buddy that went everywhere we did! He loved people, but tolerated other dogs and now we have a very sweet and active English Setter that would love to have some friends to play with! I have a fully fenced, half acre property and regularly go on walks with my dog. I also have experience with giving insulin to one of my diabetic senior cats, twice a day. My pets mean everything to me and I’d treat anyone else’s like my own! I currently work part time and love to get out and explore, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekend to help with pet care! I have a fully fenced in half acre yard for dogs and a very active dog that would love to have a buddy to play with! I also go on neighborhood walks, feel comfortable with puppies and senior pets.

“100% will use again! Amanda is a good communicator and took our pup for a nice walk.”

About: I've had animals my entire life, and have glady cared for my friends' pets over the years. From golden retrievers needing exercise while thier dad is at work, to a high-energy puppy needing attention and a place to hang out, a cat with special diet needs and multiple visits per day, and more, I'm looking forward to learning about and with your pet. I am home this summer from a master's degree abroad and have no set commitments and a totally flexible schedule. I'd be happy to bring your dog on walks with my pup and forest jaunts, or take them on their own adventures. In my home, I have an older border collie who loves puppies, but is also able to handle any size and can keep to herself. I also have a small, fearless cat who loves meeting new pups. I typically do one big walk in the day with my pup, with plenty of play and outside time between. If feeding is a challenge, we separate animals during mealtimes to ensure everyone gets their meals. If coming to your home, I'm happy to visit 2-3 times per day as needed, depending on the animal and service (any more frequency can be discussed). I'm also happy to spend time in your home keeping your pet company. With cats especially, respecting boundaries but being nearby can help keep them from getting lonely.

About: • Caring for pets and homes since I was 15 (friends, family, and repeat clients) • Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities • Comfortable caring for senior pets and administering medications • Patient with shy, anxious, or nervous pets—I let them warm up at their own pace, and somehow the shy cats usually decide we're friends. • Happy to provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, depending on what your pet enjoys • Proud cat parent to three cats, so I fully understand that we exist to serve Their Royal Highnesses • No breed restrictions—every dog deserves love, belly rubs, and good care • Respectful, clean, and reliable while staying in your home; happy to bring in mail, water plants, and help keep everything just as you left it • I know routines matter, so I do my best to keep your pets comfortable by sticking to their normal schedule as closely as possible I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. My goal is simple: for you to come home to happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. That flexibility allows me to be present throughout the day and plan my schedule around your pet's needs instead of the other way around. I'm available for overnight stays and genuinely enjoy spending time with the pets I'm caring for. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon play sessions, sticking to medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I love making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Because I already spend much of my day at home, I don't like leaving pets alone for long periods whenever I can avoid it. My goal is to give them plenty of attention, keep their routine consistent, and make your time away as stress-free as possible for both of you. I believe every pet deserves individualized care because no two animals are exactly alike. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, medical needs, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced caring for puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and administering medications. I'm also happy to care for cats, dogs, fish, chickens, and other small livestock or farm animals, including feeding horses and goats. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pets on their normal routine, double-check doors and gates, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet wants to play nonstop, explore on a walk, nap on the couch, or quietly observe me from across the room, I'm happy to meet them where they are and earn their trust at their own pace.

“Thanks so much Sarah. Trak’r has a blast. You are the best!”

“Thank you Jazmin! Jazmin is great! A friend actually texted me while she was on the walk asking if I was walking my dog and that he looked so happy, nope it was Jazmin!”

“Timely and great communication!”

About: Hi there!! My name is Melissa. I have cared for animals from the time I could walk. When I became an adult, I worked in veterinary medicine for 15+ years. First I was in reception, and then I had a long veterinary technician career. My genetic and progressive neurological disorder causes my hands to shake, so I’ve had to step away from technical work. I’m currently working at Sunriver Vet Clinic as a receptionist 3 days a week. I’ve done pet sitting in Illinois, and have recently moved to beautiful Sunriver. I’m comfortable with injections, medications, and I’m very familiar with dog and cat care and health problems and concerns. I myself have an 18 year old kitty in mid stage kidney failure and two greyhounds. Poop, pee, vomit, anal glands- nothing phases me. I have also done a lot of feral cat work. If you want a been there, done that pet sitter then that’s me. I’d love to meet your furry family members. I have very flexible part time commitments during the week. I make my own schedule, so I can schedule my commitments around your pet’s needs. I care for your pets exactly the way you want me to. I’m extremely cognizant of pet safety and having worked as a veterinary technician has made me very good at reading pet body language. I can tell if your pet is stressed, needing something, or up to shenanigans and adjust accordingly. 😂

About: I have experience caring for dogs by regularly watching my friends' and neighbors' pets while they're away. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I've grown up around dogs my entire life, so I'm familiar with different personalities and routines. I have full availability to watch your pups whenever needed since I'm home for the summer from the University of Arizona and am not currently working. I'm studying Human Development and Family Science with a minor in Psychology, and I'd love to spend my summer caring for dogs. It would be a fun and rewarding way to stay busy while giving your pups plenty of attention and care! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who would love to keep your pup company! I've grown up around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and gets lots of love, attention, and playtime while they're with me! 😊

About: I've had a love for animals my whole life & have spent the last 5 years working as a dog groomer. During that time I've cared for dogs ranging from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience & support. I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified. I've worked with puppers who have special needs, including allergies, mobility challenges, heart murmurs, brachycephalic breeds, & other health concerns. I've been trained on critical & non critical signs of stress, so I know when things are concerning & always keep pet parents informed. I'm also comfortable handing nervous, reactive, & challenging dogs. I currently have full availability. Let me spoil your pups by going for long hikes, playing ball in the yard & with extra cuddle time. Im happy to stay with you pup for the week, stay overnight, or just drop in! I like to make sure you're pet gets specialized care. Let me know their favorite treats & toys so. I want their routine to be intact so Im happy to follow meal routines, walks & more.

“Alex was so patient and kind with our dog Littles. This was Littles' first time going walking with a pet sitter and he tried to guard the house and scare her off. However Alex was kind enough to come again that very evening while we were home to spend some time with him so that he could get to know her better. And even though he was nervous again the next time she came, she spent time with him, giving him treats, and finally got him to warm up enough so they could take a walk. And of course Littles enjoyed the walk! I will definitely use Alex again when we are in town and need a pet sitter.”

“Taunya helped my fiancé and I in a pinch when we needed our dog walked while we skied. She was communicative, prompt and sent photos even though it was only a 30 min walk! I really appreciated knowing how our baby was doing while we were out for the day. If you need someone to care for your pup in Bend, definitely recommend Taunya!”

“Allyson was great! Good communicator, and took our dog for good walks. We like the idea of someone local walking our dog so that we can enjoy the mountain.”

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Secondly, I charge the rates I do as I do this professionally and take my job very seriously. I’m caring for your animals 24 hours a day and provide top rate above and beyond service to your animal. As such, I charge the rates I do as it’s a reflection of the quality of care I provide & allows me to still barely make a livable wage. When you do the hard math, I’m still making less than $20 an hr, it’s the passion not the the $$ driving this train!!!! - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 10 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), 3 year old Basset named Boone (best ‘Bass Hole’ round!), & 11 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs & cat are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.
