Dog Walking Sunriver

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.

“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.”

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

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. 😂

“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.”

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

“Timely and great communication!”

Lucia H.

“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 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.

“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.”

“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!”

About: Grew up around a few different types of dogs, cared for senior dogs and now I have one goofy labradoodle. She's 6 years old, fixed, and gets along with everyone. I'm also open to checking on or feeding any other animals you have, I've been around goats quite a bit, and I own a few ducks and geese myself. We now have over an acre of fully fenced yard for your dog to play on, we even have a kiddie pool for extra hot days. Very open schedule, work from home and make my own hours, so just looking for a side hustle... and I love dogs, so what better way to make an extra few dollars. Fenced yard, kiddie pool for the hot days, and plenty of room in the yard to walk around. I have a whole acre of fenced yard to roam and sniff around.
