Dog Walkers in Sunriver, OR

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: 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.

About: I have over 20 years of both dog & cat experience in many different settings, from professional boarding facilities to stay-in-your-home pet care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and temperaments and have worked on behavioral modification within home and walking environments. I’m a huge animal lover of any kind, with experience caring for bearded dragons, chinchillas, bunnies & rabbits, chickens, and fish. I’m a dedicated caregiver who has ample experience needed to take care of your pets! I have a dog already, so we’ve got quite an active lifestyle! He’s requires a lot of exercise, but the activity level and type can be adjusted according to your dog’s energy level! I am currently staying with my dad in order to complete medical school, so I am only available for boarding requests in your home. I am extremely respectful of your home and treat it like my own. I like to leave your home cleaner than I left it if possible!!

“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.”

“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.”

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. 😂

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

“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!”

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.

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.

“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 have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.

“Olivia has been a godsend. She’s able to help me out with my dog last minute, and she’s very conscientious about my dog’s Comfort and getting him out on good walks. Truly appreciate her.”

About: The first time I left my fur baby with a sitter, I was a nervous wreck. So I get it! I know that your dog (or cat, or bunny, or hamster - I’ve taken care of them all!) is an important member of the family, and I want to make sure they’re safe and happy, and that you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, and have done it all - cleaned up messes, administered medication, and clipped nails. I’m self employed and work from home, so I can be with your fur baby 24/7! Needless to say, I love animals, and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m self employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule, and can be with your fur baby 24/7! I’ll work around your dog’s schedule. Many pets are more comfortable being in their own home, so I offer house sitting. I make sure to take care of your home like I would my own! I’m also happy to water any plants, put out garbage cans, and anything else you might need.

About: I have had a dog my entire life and have house sit and cared for others pets since I was 16. My life is dedicated to adventuring and cuddling my dog and ensuring he is the happiest boy. We go to the river trail or good dog almost every day and I'm happy to take your dog to whatever park/place is their favorite to explore, play, and walk. I currently have my one dog in the home and no other pets. He is extremely friendly and loves playing with dogs of all sizes so he would be more than happy to share his bed (my queen-size bed) for a couple of nights. We're happy to do whatever makes your doggy happy! The days I work change based on the week but at the moment I'm working very short shifts about two days a week in the evening, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for dogs. I have one extremely friendly dog who loves doggies of all kinds. We have a good-sized house with a big fenced back yard. My dog curls up on the couch and bed. My neighborhood is really quiet and calm and the river trail is a two min walk away from my front door, so we go to the river trail or good dog daily.

About: I have cared for many animals. I have 3 children and we always had a family pet. They are now grown and have pets of their own. I have been in a bind before and had to use Rover for my own animal, and it was a lifesaver. I am hoping I can help you out too! I am currently a housewife with open availability! Its just me and my little shih tzu. Plenty of time for walks and play while your away! We live in a gated community near Mountain View, which is perfect for walks as well as having a fenced yard for play time. I do allow my dog on my bed, and try and keep him off the couch, but doesn't always work. Lol

About: I currently walk dogs at the humane society and have been trained in how to handle many different kinds of dogs. I am well versed in handling hard doggy behaviors! I work mostly weekends so I have a lot of time during the week for your pets! I have reliable transportation and live near some great trails as well as a Pet Hospital! I have plenty of pet beds and treats available, as well as a toy bin from my two boys. My roommate and I are home most days for 24/7 care.
