“Jill is truly a dog lover! Anyone that can make my hyper-obsessed (with me) Multi-Poo feel at home is a total dog whisperer. Proof in the pudding when I came to pick Oso up he of course loved all over me but then went back inside the house and barked with joy in his eyes. Would absolutely trust her with my little fur baby again and highly recommend to all dog owners. Thank you, Jill!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had such a great experience with Lisa as our sitter for our two corgis. It was their first time being somewhere new like this too and quickly adjusted under her care. She was communicative, flexible, adaptable, and provided a cozy and supportive space for our pups. She gave great feedback and I learned a few extra tips from her about my dogs nails. I'd definitely recommend Lisa again!”
“We felt incredibly relieved to know that Molly was in great care! Ashleigh took photos, sent updates, and loved on Molly. She was incredibly communicative with us, and we are so grateful for her and the service she provided Molly and us! WE highly recommend her to care for your pup! Thanks, Ashleigh!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our dogs! We got updates with pictures while they were out for walks and when we picked them up they were safe, happy, and tired from playing. We highly recommend Alex!”
“So grateful to Madeline for taking of my dog on short notice. Madeline kept me updated with text, photos, and videos. Felt like Bindu was getting excellent care and was in very good hands. I will definitely contact Madeline in the future.”
“Lucky had a great time with Kim and her family. She was well cared for, played with, and taken for walks. We look forward to having Lucky stay with Kim and her family again soon.”
“Luna Moo had an amazing time with Tania and her family! Despite the height/weight difference, Luna and the family frenchie Rosie were quick to become friends. We would absolutely rebook if we ever come back to Bend! Thank you ?”
“We could not be happier with the dog sitting Claire provided for our pooch. She is skilled and patient when it comes to handling dogs. Our dog tends to be anxious when we leave, but he apparently didn't miss us in the least under Claire's care! She sent photos of him having fun with her dogs on walks, hikes, lounging on the couch and playing in her back yard. Our dog has been asking us..."When can I go back to Claire's house!" Signed Kristin, Mark and Kona.”
“Dexter’s first overnight with Lisa and Dave was fabulous. I knew he was in a safe and attentive environment from their frequent and detailed updates. Lisa and Dave adjusted to Dexters regimented feeding schedule with ease and made sure he was comfortable. Plus, Dexter has two new friends in Fezzi and Scout, their Cavaliers. I will be booking with them again!”
“Alyssa was super helpful, flexible, and very responsive. She sent lots of updates and pics. We were worried leaving our pup since we recently adopted her, but Alyssa cared for her perfectly and we felt so comfortable being away!”
“Archer had a great time at Elisa's! She sent over many pictures of him having fun and being part of the family. He especially loved playing with her kids! We could tell Archer felt at home with them, and we rae so grateful that Elisa helped us out with a last minute request. Thank you so much for taking care of our Archer!”
“I felt SO confident that my doggos were well loved, exercised, and cared for while we were gone for nearly two weeks. They’re happy to be home but they seem like they had their own vacation and are now ready to catch up on sleep and laundry. Ok, sleep. I’ve found my go-to anytime we travel.”
“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole and her family welcomed our three dogs with short notice for memorial weekend along with two other family’s dogs resulting in a total of six dogs in their house. Upon arrival, Nicole went above and beyond unloading the dogs, crates, food, etc. out of my car as I tended to my crying 3 month old baby. It was such a relief. Our dogs had a blast playing with their new buddies and never missed a chance for lovins from Nicole’s two daughters. We received updates including pictures every day so we were at ease knowing our pups were well taken care of. When Nicole found out we had to do an abundance of driving with our 3 baby the day we were due back to pick up our dogs, she even offered to drop our dogs off at our house in Bend to ease our stress and save our evening! We could not have been more thankful! We will definitely book with her and her fam again!”

“We had a unique situation to solve with our elderly cat and found Megan to be kind, compassionate and communicative at every turn. We are already looking forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you Megan !”
“Marisa did a great job taking care of my 2 cats and plants while I was away for 9 days. She did daily drop in visits and it was clear that the cats felt comfortable around her. She was responsive and easy to communicate with and sent daily photos of the cats. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Megan is awesome! She is very attentive to details and excellent in her communication. She sent pics and thoughtful notes with each visit she made while I was traveling. Beyond that my pups loved all the attention and play time she gave them.”
About: I've been caring for cats for over 6 years and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time with their cats while they're away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each cat's routine, and I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I work in Downtown Bend and can frequently check in! I have a proven track record of being responsible and reliable for all different types of dogs. I will be available mostly weeknights after 5pm and weekends! I work in Downtown Bend so I can stop by for potty breaks and have plenty of time to play after work! I am always sure to get the dogs energy out! My apartment has a nice dog area and I can take them on long walks as well! My own dogs are not currently living with me so there will be no other dogs present at my apartment.
“Our cat Tui liked Lizzy from the start when she came over for a quick meet and greet. She took very good care of Tui when she visited and sent me two cute pics of her playing with Tui. She’s also very responsive to my questions. We’ll definitely ask her to take care of Tui again! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting!”
“Blake has been so incredibly helpful and sweet to our pup. He not only picked up our request on short notice, but even went the extra step to drive out and meet us before the drop ins. Can’t say enough positive things!”
“We were staying with friends in town and needed a last minute dog sitter. Spencer was wonderful to help us out while we went out on hike. She was professional and courteous. She came and checked on our Murphy, took him out and played with him. We were thankful for finding someone at the last minute.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a dog of my own that I trained myself, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special needs, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys having a playmate, mine would love to join them for walks or playtime (with your approval, of course!). I’m a flight attendant, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend my time when I’m home. I’m typically home about half of each month, and during those days I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and work around their normal routine. I have experience caring for pets both in my home and in their own, although I generally prefer caring for them in their familiar environment whenever possible. I can administer basic care, crate pets if needed, provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and even trips to the park if that’s something they enjoy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a flight attendant so this is a great job for when I am not flying which is normally about half the month. When I am home I have practically uninterrupted time so I can work around what kind of care you are needing. I am very familiar with watching dogs in their own home and my own but would prefer it be in their own home. I can crate them if needed, walk, play, and or take them to the park if they enjoy that.
“I knew my cat was in good hands with Joann. She was very understanding with me worrying about my cat being lonely while I was away and followed the care instructions I left including lots of play time! Joann also checked in to see if there was anything she could help with while I was away like watering plants. She is also just a pleasant person and I would happily book her again.”
“Scott took the best care of Kai. I could not have asked for the most perfect dog sitter. He communicated with me while Kai was in his care by updating me with plenty of photos and adventures. It made me feel very comfortable to leave Kai with Scott. I know that there was a lot of training during this time because Kai has been such an angel since then. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone and I will also be hiring Scott again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. As an adult I have house/dog/cat/child sat for many people. I’m known as “Auntie K” to my dog sitting families! I’ve administered medications to dogs & cats as well as specific diets and cared for multiple senior dogs and cats. Although I grew up surrounded by animals, I haven’t had my own dog since I was 19. Sadly, my crazy but lovable kitty passed a couple of years ago. As a result, I really enjoy taking care of other peoples pets until the time is right and I meet my own furry friend. I have plenty of time to hang with your pet(s). I am available weekdays, weeknights and weekends! I am generally available 4-6 hours for potty breaks if I am not off work at my other jobs. I am willing and able to follow all rules and requirements to care the very best for your fur baby(s). I prefer everything written down so I can make sure everything that is requested is done on time and the way you would like. I understand your pet(s) are like children and it’s important to care for them the way you would.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years with experience with all types of breeds, age, and specific care needs! I provide detailed updates every couple hours to ensure you can rest assured knowing your babies are having fun with you are on your vacation! I can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I work around your schedule and pet’s routine. I provide a walk in morning (and evening if you would like)! I can give feedings as much as your pup requires during the day, along with medications. I have a fenced in yard and always monitor when my pups go outside to play! I pick up poop daily to make sure their environment is clean.
About: My family has owned dogs since I was 6 and I have been actively taking care of dogs and horses for the last eleven years! I am currently working nights, so I have plenty of time to spend with pups during the day! I'm available for booking Saturday-Monday anytime, and on Wednesdays before 2 pm for walks and drop-in visits! House sitting I am only available for booking Saturday through Monday due to my day job. I have a fenced yard with a young, friendly border collie to keep your dogs company! We have a dog park and multiple nature preserves close by for walks and playtime. Willing to drive dogs to parks to play if I am coming to over walk and/or pet sit.
“I leave early morning for work and Remy doesn’t like going outside due to the cold & darkness. Today I had no choice but to leave her in her kennel until a friend could stop by and help. Unfortunately everyone was busy so quickly turned to Rover. I was extremely lucky to find Victoria, who was able to help us out very last minute. Victoria was willing to care for my pup. From the pictures I was able to tell they both had a blast! Please, if you are looking for someone to care for your baby, look no further. Victoria is awesome!!!”
About: I have worked at stables, vet clinics and volunteered with rescues. I'm a "human" Nurse, but my skill set transfers easily to animals. Care, patience and tons of love. I am capable of administering medications, and skilled at special needs for dogs. I work M-Th 6-4. I am available for overnight stays, primarily on weekends! Overnights on weekdays are for animals that can be home alone during my work hours. I have lots of energy to engage and play! I do need to be able to leave periodically to check on my doggo at my own home and go out to eat, so no separation anxiety pets please. I have an escape artist dog at home. My senses are keen. I am always aware and would be the same for your pet/pets at your home. A watchful eye!
About: I am a very responsible, intuitive and caring person! I love the outdoors and am obsessed with all animals. Early morning or evening walks are my favorite! I own my own massage business so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for ways to spend more times doing what I love, which is being outside and hanging out with more dogs/cats! 😍 Can’t wait to meet you! 🐕 🐈 I am a massage therapist and have a flexible schedule and the ability to stop in or hit the park or trails throughout the week/weekend. I’ve house and pet sat in people’s homes for years and highly respect other people’s property! Having been a nanny, a caregiver, and now massage therapist, I am used to being depended on and have proven myself to be very trustworthy.

“Colin took great care of our two dogs for the full day so we could go adventure a bit in Bend without worrying about our dogs. Appreciated the pictures sent as an update. Would definitely use again!”
“They are great to have watch Riley. I boarded her with them when I work and go on trips. They are so good with Riley and when we get to their house Riley gets excited and runs into their house. I will always use Julie and Colin when I need someone to take care of Riley.”
“Sarah and Ben were awesome sitters for our energetic boxer. We were running late for both drop off and pick up and they we understanding and more accommodating than they needed to be. Their own dogs are very friendly and made for a great play date. We will definitely be looking to use them again.”
About: 18-year dog mom in Bend, Oregon with hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors needing extra patience, mobility support, and medications. Although my own sweet pup recently passed away, caring for animals continues to mean so much to me, and I truly value being able to provide loving, attentive care through Rover. I’m patient, calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort, and unique personality, with experience creating safe, supportive environments where dogs can feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home in Bend, Oregon. I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day In my Bend home, pets enjoy a secure fenced yard, supervised playtime, and a calm environment with my gentle senior dog and cat for friendly companionship. I follow each pet’s routine closely. In clients’ homes, I maintain familiar schedules, feeding, walks, medications, and lots of attentive care.
About: I am a recent graduate of Carleton College with a double major in Biology and Chemistry. In the fall, I will be starting a PhD in Cancer Biology at UW-Madison. However, despite the scientific background, I worked as an Equine Veterinary Assistant for a year in college, and spent a summer gaining extensive exotic animal care experience from a full time Zookeeping position. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to farm animals and exotics. My diverse background enables me to provide compassionate, knowledgeable care for many different species, and I adapt quickly to new challenges and needs. With experience in the veterinary setting, I am particularly attentive to an animals’ health/behavior. I am unavailable between Thursday, July 9th and Tuesday, July 21st as I am traveling, but I am completely free otherwise for walks, doggy daycare, and drop-in visits. I have an 13 year old family dog currently living at home with my family who is friendly and curious. He is kennel trained and can be kept separated from any pets who are not comfortable with other animals.
“Blake was an absolute lifesaver! We needed a last-minute booking, and he was incredibly helpful and responsive right from the start. To make things even better, when we hit a hiccup in our day and had to adjust our pickup time, Blake was incredibly flexible and understanding. It completely took the stress out of our situation. We knew our pup was in great hands, and we couldn’t recommend Blake enough if you’re looking for a reliable, accommodating, and top-tier sitter in Bend!”
“Ollie loves his time his Jeff, Roxanne and pups! I feel good about bringing him to their place. I appreciate the care Ollie gets with Jeff and Roxanne and happily recommend them!”
“Cassie did a great job while watching my pup. She was super responsive, flexible with pick up and drop off and sent some pics throughout the day too. She thankfully was available last second as well. Would book again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kathryn. She went above and beyond for us and our pup. Not only did she accept our (very) last minute request, she also took our pup on with three other dogs at her home. I would recommend Kathryn to anyone and everyone!! THANK YOU!”
About: I’ve always had a pet as a member of my family. Cats and dogs. My current love is a super chill (yes, there is such a thing!) lab. Every walk is a mini training adventure. My lab Riley will get along with your pup, it’s just his nature. I provide enrichment during the day to keep boredom away. If I visit your cats, I know they might not visit me! I’ll just sit on the floor and wait for them to come out from under the bed! I’m fortunate to be able to adjust my retiree schedule every day. I’m flexible to your particular pet’s needs and schedule. It depends on the type of service, in my home or in yours. I have a completely fenced, (tall too) back yard. I don’t leave my pup unattended while he’s out. We leash walk mornings, afternoon and evenings. I have numerous sniffing loops I use as I live along the canal.
“Riley thank you so much for taking care of our pup. She seemed to have a wonderful time. I appreciate the info you left as well as the photo. I would definitely use Riley again in the future.”
“Our pup Pretzel had a great day at day care with Gregory while my husband and I were visiting Bend. Gregory was extremely responsive to messages and sent some photos of the visit. Pretzel also got along great with Gregory’s pup Millie— she’s a sweetheart! I would definitely recommend Gregory as a sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with almost 20 years of experience caring for dogs through walking, sitting, and boarding. I started my first dog-walking business at 14, and my love for animals has only grown since then. I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My wife and I have two dogs and two cats of our own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in a home environment and managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. We live on a half-acre property that gives dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very active and love getting dogs outside for adventures—whether that’s long walks, hikes, bike runs, or even snow outings for dogs who enjoy winter fun. I always tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort, with safety as my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I do alot of my work from home so our pets don't spend too much time alone. We exercise our dogs daily and frequent the local trails. We have a large fenced yard and two dogs that love to play. Our dogs sleep in our bed with us, so we can set up a bed, or a crate, or they can snuggle up with us!
“Visiting from out of town with our pup and needed a last minute sitter so our family could enjoy some non-pup friendly things to do around town. Stacey was prompt, great with digs and friendly to deal with. Thank you for taking good care of Luna for us!”
About: I grew up around all types of animals on my grandparent’s 100 acre farm, and I have spent recent years taking care of two very loved pups and a big family. We no longer have dogs, but I would love to be there for your fur babies to make them feel loved, safe, and doted on while you are away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three kids 👧🏻👧🏼👦🏼 (ages 4, 6, and 7), so please only reach out if your dog is good with kids. I also have a super flexible schedule to prioritize companionship, bathroom breaks, walks, play, feeding, and any concerns you might have. I always make sure I give the best care possible and spoil your pup with love! 💗 We have a fenced yard and live near parks and river hiking trails. I love giving lots of extra attention and gentle pets! Let me know what needs your pet may have, and I will do my best to achieve them! I also enjoy setting up meet and greets to make sure that I am the perfect pet parent for your dog and to begin to create that loving, safe connection. It can be difficult to leave your pup, so I will take pictures and keep you updated. I will treat and love your pup as if it were my own! I am a stay at home mom, so I am able to be there for your dog and around for walks, bathroom breaks and couch cuddles. I leave the house for a few hours here and there but not all day. I am completely flexible to work with your schedule. I have a fenced yard. I also have kids 3-7 years old who are gentle with pets. Your dog can run free in our home and can also be kenneled when we go out. We live in a neighborhood that is great for walks, and close to parks. There are lots of kids and green spaces.

“Sydney was great with our dogs! They’re definitely not the type to make friends quickly, and it took a bit for them to warm up to her. But she was so patient and actually put in the time to earn their trust, which was a huge relief for us. Now they’re totally comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough if you have dogs that are a little picky with new people.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have cared for all kinds — dogs, cats, horses, and small pets. Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their animals like my own. I’m now a college student looking for a flexible way to help others while getting to spend time with pets. I am about to begin my winter term of my first year in college. I will be attending OSU cascades then. I am studying psychology. I don’t have another job at the moment so my only other commitment is classes however my schedule is pretty light next term so it will be easy to work around:) I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. Whether I’m in your home or caring for pets in mine, I follow your instructions closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance. I want your pet to feel loved and secure the entire time you’re away.
“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: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the last 4 years and grew up with all sorts of family pets around the house (cats, dogs, fish and other animals). I travel a lot so it’s not practical to get a pet of our own currently so I’d love to extend my love of animals to your family and treat them as my own. I run a video production company in town so most of my days are spent working from home or only being gone for a few hours max. This allows plenty of time to care for your pets, take them on neighborhood walks, and keep them company. When boarding at my house, I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for walks. Your pet has plenty of space to roam around our house and yard!
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’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a dog of my own that I trained myself, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special needs, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys having a playmate, mine would love to join them for walks or playtime (with your approval, of course!).

I have experience caring for pets both in my home and in their own, although I generally prefer caring for them in their familiar environment whenever possible. I can administer basic care, crate pets if needed, provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and even trips to the park if that’s something they enjoy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a flight attendant so this is a great job for when I am not flying which is normally about half the month.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I have nearly a year of full-time experience working in a doggy daycare environment. During this time, I developed a strong ability to read canine body language and communication, manage group dynamics, and respond appropriately to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I strive to keep educating my self so I can continuously improve my skills in taking care of animals. I am able to create my own schedule. I would be able to accommodate your pet or pet’s, with routine walks, breaks and check in. I take care of any animal as if they were my own. My priority is to make all animals and humans involved comfortable. My clients homes are treated with respect and I always pick up after my self. I genuinely love being around animals and spending time with them. I strive to gain and maintain trust with my clients and their fur babies.
About: We have both been around and owned dogs since we were kids. I worked in a vet clinic from the time I was 14 all throughout high school. I also worked with a dog groomer for a few summers. I am an Animal Behavior College certified Dog Trainer as well as a wildlife biologist. Let's just say I love animals!! We are cat lovers too and would be more than happy to care for them also! We would provide the same level care for your pets as you do. We like to treat them like a member of our family and hope that they enjoy their time with us so much that they hardly know you are away. We know it is an honor and a privilege to be trusted with caring for your fury family member and we take that seriously and strive to never disappoint. I currently work from home for my main career as a Spatial Data Analyst (wildlife related). Your pet would have someone around aside from the occasional trip to the store or other errand. I will always communicate openly about my schedule during your visit so you are aware of any times I may have to be out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard and a 4-year-old Great Dane to keep your dog company! Thus, for stays in my home your dog must be dog-friendly, non-aggressive, and not afraid of large breeds. I also have four cats. I do have a doggie gate that keeps the cats separated, but one of them can jump the gate as she likes to sit on top of the kitchen cupboards and observe. Aaron and I have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They both have been around dogs their entire lives and are very used to respecting their space and letting dogs warm up to them. With that said, they are still kids. So for stays in our home, your dog will have to be good with other dogs, young kids, and cats. For stays in your home, your dog ideally will be okay with kids but my kids don't always need to come with depending on the dates of the stay.
About: I love all types of animals. Have had pets my entire life. I will care for all pets as if they are my own with the same love and affection. I enjoy going on long walks for those with high energy so the dogs will get a good exercise in. Since I’m home all day pet care is naturally in my daily routine. I have flexible availability, so I can provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m always around to ensure pets are safe happy and loved. In my home, I prioritize a safe environment with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. I ensure they have freshwater regular playtime and a calm routine. Safety is always top of mind. In Client homes I follow their routine closely, ensuring trust and comfort for both pets and owners.
“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.”
About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals growing up for farm animals to cats and dogs, even reptiles, and pets like bunnies and Guinea pigs since I was a little girl. I grew up wanting to be a Veterinarian because all animals leave a special place In my heart. I have a history with working with animals that require medicine, extra attention due to small surgeries/ injuries, as well as high energy. I currently work part-time Monday- Friday for about 6 hours and will be home majority of your fur babies stay. We do daily walks and daily play time. I have another dog here who loves everyone and everything. I am super patient and loving to all animals as if they were my own. I am constantly making sure they are well taken care whether it’s a nice walk or some ball toss. I provide all services as long as you and your fur babies are happy ❤️ • Price may be modified depending on location for drop ins / dog walking Thank you 🐱🐶
About: Hi, I’m Suzy! I recently moved to Bend from NYC and I’d love to continue pet sitting on the West coast! I recently took a sabbatical from work after 10+ years with the same company to do some self-care, spend more time outdoors and pursue a career change. I don’t have a pet, but my most recent roommate for 2+ years had a dog (pictured in my profile) and I have experience pet sitting other dogs as well for 10+ years. My roommate frequently left me with her dog when she traveled, etc. I’m happy to provide her contact information and / or connect for a video chat / meet and greet prior to accepting my application! I also have provided care for a number of other dogs (16+) through Rover and friends over the last 5 years. I love all pups! Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! I’m currently at home most of the time and don’t have any upcoming travel! I can also travel to you within Bend / stay at your place if preferred. My schedule is flexible so happy to accept last minute sits. I usually like to do a meet and greet to get familiar with my client’s home or ensure your pet feels comfortable in my home and to learn about any specific care instructions. I make sure to take notes about any guidelines and am mindful about following the specific rules and routine that someone sets in their home.
About: I’ve raised a husky, that should speak for itself.lol I have also raised and cared for other breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, dachshunds, and also am a corgi dad.

My apartment complex has a fenced in, play area. I have a two bedroom apartment. The living room and kitchen area act as their play area.

“Jill is truly a dog lover! Anyone that can make my hyper-obsessed (with me) Multi-Poo feel at home is a total dog whisperer. Proof in the pudding when I came to pick Oso up he of course loved all over me but then went back inside the house and barked with joy in his eyes. Would absolutely trust her with my little fur baby again and highly recommend to all dog owners. Thank you, Jill!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had such a great experience with Lisa as our sitter for our two corgis. It was their first time being somewhere new like this too and quickly adjusted under her care. She was communicative, flexible, adaptable, and provided a cozy and supportive space for our pups. She gave great feedback and I learned a few extra tips from her about my dogs nails. I'd definitely recommend Lisa again!”
“We felt incredibly relieved to know that Molly was in great care! Ashleigh took photos, sent updates, and loved on Molly. She was incredibly communicative with us, and we are so grateful for her and the service she provided Molly and us! WE highly recommend her to care for your pup! Thanks, Ashleigh!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our dogs! We got updates with pictures while they were out for walks and when we picked them up they were safe, happy, and tired from playing. We highly recommend Alex!”
“So grateful to Madeline for taking of my dog on short notice. Madeline kept me updated with text, photos, and videos. Felt like Bindu was getting excellent care and was in very good hands. I will definitely contact Madeline in the future.”
“Lucky had a great time with Kim and her family. She was well cared for, played with, and taken for walks. We look forward to having Lucky stay with Kim and her family again soon.”
“Luna Moo had an amazing time with Tania and her family! Despite the height/weight difference, Luna and the family frenchie Rosie were quick to become friends. We would absolutely rebook if we ever come back to Bend! Thank you ?”
“Alyssa was super helpful, flexible, and very responsive. She sent lots of updates and pics. We were worried leaving our pup since we recently adopted her, but Alyssa cared for her perfectly and we felt so comfortable being away!”
“Archer had a great time at Elisa's! She sent over many pictures of him having fun and being part of the family. He especially loved playing with her kids! We could tell Archer felt at home with them, and we rae so grateful that Elisa helped us out with a last minute request. Thank you so much for taking care of our Archer!”
“I felt SO confident that my doggos were well loved, exercised, and cared for while we were gone for nearly two weeks. They’re happy to be home but they seem like they had their own vacation and are now ready to catch up on sleep and laundry. Ok, sleep. I’ve found my go-to anytime we travel.”
“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole and her family welcomed our three dogs with short notice for memorial weekend along with two other family’s dogs resulting in a total of six dogs in their house. Upon arrival, Nicole went above and beyond unloading the dogs, crates, food, etc. out of my car as I tended to my crying 3 month old baby. It was such a relief. Our dogs had a blast playing with their new buddies and never missed a chance for lovins from Nicole’s two daughters. We received updates including pictures every day so we were at ease knowing our pups were well taken care of. When Nicole found out we had to do an abundance of driving with our 3 baby the day we were due back to pick up our dogs, she even offered to drop our dogs off at our house in Bend to ease our stress and save our evening! We could not have been more thankful! We will definitely book with her and her fam again!”
“We had a last-minute need for boarding, and our little Dachshund would not have been happy in a kennel at a facility. Despite being the little guy in a group of 3 other 50lb dogs, the lap time and personal attention she gave our boy made him feel much better at having to be separated from his family and not being thrown "to the wolves". It was definitely worth the extra money knowing he was safe and being cared for.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since elementary school taking care of two family dogs with very high energy! Now a work from home dog dad, I can provide plenty of attention to your furry friends. Including morning, lunch time, and evening walks to get the zoomies out, play tug of war, or some simple fetch. I work from home and tend to have very limited scheduled meetings. This allows me to be flexible with my week day schedule as I’m available 8am and on to take care and play with your dogs. Weekends I am typically busy with an outdoors adventure, but am always open to adding a furry friend to join my pup on outings. I have a completely fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around and get the zoomies out. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with a great 20-30 minute walking loop and quick access to the Deschutes river if your dog loves the water.
“Stacey was great for Karb! He loves walks and hanging out outside and she has a great yard and took him on lots of good walks. She was nice, very responsive, and sent plenty of cute pictures! 10/10!”
“Colin and his daughters were incredibly kind and helpful watching our dogs over the holiday weekend — especially with only 30 minutes notice! They sent photo updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and we never had to worry about our pups at all. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. We’re so grateful for their flexibility and care, and would absolutely book with them again!”
