Dog Walking Three Rivers

“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: 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.

“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.”

“Amanda was great walking our boy while we were in Sunriver. She followed the instructions we left and gave him long walks. We recommend Amanda!”

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 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.

“Ginny has walked my senior boy weekly for several months. She is very patient with him, going at his pace and letting him sniff more than walk. Ginny is excellent communicator, always on time and genuine nice person. And best of all Saru loves her and is always happy to go on a walk with her. I can't recommend her higher and you will be lucky to have her walk you dog.”

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 work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule & allows me to dedicate plenty of time & attention to any pet in my care. Aside from the occasional errand, I'm available to spend most of the day with your pet, keeping them company and maintaining their normal routine. I offer drop in visits overnight, stays and extended care. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and 1 on 1 time while you're away. While caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Before each stay, I'd love to learn about your pets, so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar. I'll carefully follow instructions for meals, walks, potty breaks, and any other routine your pet relies on beyond meeting their basic needs. I want their time with me to feel like a vacation. That means extra playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, cuddles, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time while you're away.

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. 😂

“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 a sister of two Pomeranians back in Brazil, so I truly understand the responsibility, love, and attention that pets need every single day. Caring for my own dogs has given me hands-on experience with small breeds, their personalities, and routines. I have also cared for my friend’s Yorkshire Terrier multiple times, including overnight stays. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, patience, affection, and full attention. I am responsible, trustworthy, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. During the week, I work full-time as a nanny, and I’m fully available for pet sitting on Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’m happy to provide dedicated, focused care during those days. I may also be available for select weekday bookings with advance notice, feel free to message me to discuss! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk routines, and any specific care instructions closely. — I’m a rule follower. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me. I keep the home tidy and ensure pets are always in a secure environment. As a dog sister to two Pomeranians, I understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Caitlin was great! She is so kind, friendly, and caring! She took great care of my dog and worked with me through all the craziness of moving places! You can tell she really loves and cares about animals! She is also a great communicator and leaves a detailed report card!”

About: I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog, which is why daily high-quality exercise is the cornerstone of my care. Every single day, I take the dogs in my care out for at least an hour of solid activity. Depending on your dog's personality, energy level, and your preferences, this could mean a steady neighborhood jog, a scenic hike, or even a fun swim session to cool off. Of course, I completely understand that every dog is unique. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a breed that prefers a slower pace, I easily customize our routine to include shorter, sniff-focused walks that keep them safe and comfortable. My main priority is connecting with pet parents like you to build a foundation of absolute trust. You can expect frequent updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is being treated exactly like family while you're away. I work short, predictable hours at night typically 5 days a week, which leaves my entire day completely wide open for pet care. Because my mornings and afternoons are free, I have an incredibly flexible daytime schedule and am fully available to exercise, walk, and companion your dog every single day. I structure my days around giving my guest dogs my undivided attention, ensuring they get their needed outdoor time, potty breaks, and companionship right when they are used to having it. In my home, pet care is built around safety, routine, and active engagement. I am a highly active person and routinely take my own dog out for a run, walk, or swim every single day. When caring for your pet, they seamlessly become a part of this active, outdoor lifestyle. For house sitting in your home, I bring a strong foundation of trust and experience, having successfully watched houses and pets for my neighbors. I treat every home with the utmost respect, maintaining your exact security protocols, keeping the space clean, and strictly following your dog’s established home rules to minimize any anxiety while you are away.

“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 been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Timely and great communication!”

About: I grew up in a loving, multi-pet household that included dogs, cats, ducks, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish—so animal care has always been a big part of my life. I also have hands-on experience caring for chickens. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply spending quality time with animals, I’m comfortable and confident with a wide range of species and personalities. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has unique needs and quirks. I’m currently building my own business as a licensed esthetician and also work part-time, but with summer around the corner, I’m looking for a fun and fulfilling side job—and what better way than spending time with pets! I work 8 hour shifts Wednesday-Friday and then Sunday-Tuesday I may have a couple clients here and there but it wouldn’t be more than a few hours I am gone. In my home, pets are treated like family. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where animals feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they’re happy and relaxed. Trust and respect are at the heart of how I care for every animal—I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection.

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.

“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.”
