“Karina was great with my dog! Her communication was always quick and she was willing to cater to all my dogs needs over the weekend. Super professional and responsible! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Sherry deserves the utmost praise for the exceptional care she provided for our much loved Luna during our travels. Luna is inseparable from me, and our bond is unbreakable. When financial constraints made it difficult for us to bring her along to England, we were determined to find someone who would be incredibly understanding and patient with her as she struggled with our absence. Sherry proved to be an exceptional communicator, sending us pictures and updates on Luna’s well-being throughout the entire stay. Her thoughtfulness extended beyond her care for Luna; she also helped Luna adjust to her new environment after a few days, which significantly eased our concerns. Upon our return home, we were greeted by a beautifully maintained house and a joyful Luna. We are overjoyed to have found a reliable and compassionate caretaker in Sherry. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Halley was wonderful. She house/dog sit for me and was great with communication -asking needs, preferences, and confirming considerations. I greatly appreciated it. She met Wally, she met me, took a walk through and I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be prompt and available. I would love to have her care take again and use her services 😊 I recommend for others easily”
“Madison stayed overnight and watched our dog Panda and cat Comet. She did a fabulous job! Great communicator and sent photos to let us know how things were going. Our pets were clearly well-loved and in good hands. I would definitely hire Madison again to take care of our fur-babies.”
“Jazmin was awesome! She stayed overnight with our two small dogs and kept them happy with some much needed affection. She was a great communicator and even sent us pics of the dogs so we could see how good of a time they were all having without us 😅 Would definitely love to have her back.”
About: I have always been a lover of animals. From caring for childhood dogs and cats, to pet sitting for friends and clients. When you’re away, your pets deserve to be well taken care of and loved. I am responsible, caring, mindful, and make sure your pets stay in their routine; from walks, outdoor time, and feeding. I am comfortable sitting for animals that need daily medication or special care. I'm currently have a flexible schedule, so I am available to fit the needs and schedule of your pets. I currently offer home stays (cats and dogs), check-ins (cats only), and scheduled dog walks if you are looking for someone that can help out with your busy schedule. Your pets are safe in my care. If a fenced yard is not provided at your home we will always take leashed walks and potty breaks. I love to take dogs out on hikes, so please let me know your preferences on leash/off-leash and dogs physical ability.
About: Hi, I'm new to rover but have about 10 years of experience caring for various pets when my friends are out of town. I truly love all dogs and wish I could take in every dog that isn't in a a loving home, and I have been told that I have a very calming presence, even to the ones like yours who are in a loving home. I currently work part time, (about 30 -35 hours a week) and am looking to pet sit while I figure out long term plans and prepare to go back to college in the fall, but I have a fairly flexible schedule if given reasonable advance. Unfortunately my current living situation would likely be too stressful for your pets, (I live with a dog and a cat), but I am willing to either stay in your home or commute, and update you frequently if desired, as I understand the anxieties around leaving your pet with a relative stranger. I'm more than willing to meet ahead of time in order to develop trust and discuss any important details.
“We are so glad we had Lea watch our little dog Otis. We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean house(wow-what a bonus). This was our first experience with using a dog sitter and I would highly recommend using Lea B. for your next pet sitting. Since we are new dog owner's she gave us lots of great tips!! Thanks Lea!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly dogs and from poodles to german shepherds I love all kinds of pups! I am enjoy walking dogs and playing with dogs as well!

I feed dogs usually twice a day and let them out as needed. As well as walk and play with daily.For cats I feed twice a day as well and clean litter every other day.
“Janis took excellent care of our two terriers while we were away for a long weekend. She was amazing! She sent photos and kept us updated all weekend long. Our home was very well taken care of. Janis is a wonderful and gentle soul. We could tell immediately she’s a good person by our dogs’ reaction to her. They love Janis! They keep going to the door looking for her. I don’t think they missed us much! THANK YOU JANIS!!”
“Alexandria took very good care of our dog Steve. It was our first time hiring someone to take care of him so I was a little hesitant, but she was so nice and sweet with him during our initial visit and I know Steve was in good care with her. She immediately sent a picture showing Steve snuggling which made me very happy knowing he was in good hands.”
About: Hi! We’re Drew and Torri, a work-from-home couple providing fully supervised, in-home dog care just south of Bend in the Three Rivers area (about 18 miles from downtown). Our care is best suited for dogs who do well in a real home environment and benefit from consistency, structure, and attentive supervision. We do not operate a kennel or high-volume setup, dogs stay indoors as part of our household and are cared for throughout the day/night. We share our home with our Labrador, Knox, who is friendly, well-socialized, and used to having visiting dogs around. Care Style & Sleeping Arrangements We focus on individualized care and maintaining each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Dogs may: Free-roam indoors Sleep in a private bedroom or wherever they sleep at home Use a crate if that’s their preference or requirement We do have crates available. Crates are used intentionally for puppies, dogs with destructive behaviors, or dogs who prefer or require a crate for rest. Owners should let us know their dog’s typical sleeping setup in advance. We share our home with our Labrador, Knox, who is friendly, well-socialized, and used to having visiting dogs around. Our home is open and comfortable, with plenty of space for dogs to relax, settle, and feel at ease. We’re a great match for dogs who: Thrive in a home environment Do best with attentive supervision Benefit from routine and consistency Are staying for short trips or extended travel For dogs who prefer minimal social interaction or do best without other visiting dogs, we may be able to offer solo or highly personalized care at an adjusted rate, depending on dates and needs. Meet & Greets For most new clients, we require a meet-and-greet prior to booking. This allows everyone, dogs and humans, to make sure it’s a comfortable fit and gives owners a chance to see where their dog will be staying. We’ve found this step is key to maintaining a calm, safe environment and ensuring successful stays. House Sitting & Multi-Pet Care In addition to in-home boarding, we also offer house sitting for dogs who are most comfortable staying in their own environment. We have experience caring for: Dogs and cats Chickens, ducks, and pigs Horses and other farm animals (basic daily care) House sitting is ideal for dogs who do not do well with other dogs or whose households include multiple species. Both of us work from home full-time, so dogs are rarely left alone beyond short errands or the occasional dinner out. Outdoor time is always supervised, and dogs are separated during feeding to ensure safety and comfort. We maintain a calm, predictable daily routine that helps dogs settle in quickly, especially during longer stays. We live on a 2.5-acre property with a designated, fully fenced area for dogs in our care. Our fencing is ranch-style with additional reinforcement, which works well for most dogs but may not be suitable for dogs who routinely escape fencing or jump barriers. Dogs in our care: Stay indoors in our home (no outdoor kennels) Are supervised while outside Are cared for in a low-stress, structured environment We are always happy to leash dogs for potty breaks if that’s what they’re accustomed to or need.Our home is open and comfortable, with plenty of space for dogs to relax, settle, and feel at ease. We’re intentional about the dogs we accept into our home so we can maintain supervision, follow routines accurately, and respond quickly if a dog needs attention. Our home is set up for indoor, home based care rather than kennel-style boarding, and we prioritize clear communication and consistency to ensure safe, successful stays.

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 Sunriver 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 Sunriver 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 Sunriver 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
