“Michelle took my dog in on short notice to keep her company while I worked long hours. Her and her children were very kind to my dog and she got plenty of attention and walks! She came home tired, relaxed and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. I will be using her services again! :)”

“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!”

“Very pleased with Beth! She kept us updated with text message and pictures and Clyde seemed at home with her. Hopefully Clyde will still be with us when we return next summer so he can stay with Beth again.”

“Colleen was so kind to watch our lab on a pretty last minute basis. She was very communicative, friendly, and easy to work with. Our pup was well cared for and came home very happy. We’ll definitely try to book Colleen again and highly recommend her to others.”
“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!”
“There are endless positive things to say about Chris! She went above and beyond to care for our dog. She does sniffle mats, walks, treats and sends pictures and videos during her stay! Her dog Bristol is also the sweetest pup and she is so gentle. The care and love she has for these dogs is so special. We can’t recommend Chris enough. Your pet will be in wonderful hands staying with her! Thank you again :)”

“They were amazing with my nervous pup, Loki. I highly recommend them for any of your pups needs. They were very patient with him while he warmed up to them and gave him plenty of love and enrichment for the week they had him 😁”

“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.”

“Ann & Adam took such great care of my boy Leonard. Lots of activities and pix, and their dog Archer has a great temperament. Leonard came home happy and in a good state of mind.”


“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Aubin was wonderful. She took Denver on morning walks and he seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again.”

“Veronica was so great with Charlie, it felt like I was leaving her with family. She kept me updated frequently, took her for walks, and gave many cuddles. I will definitely bring Charlie back to Veronica.”

“Leah’s place was paradise for my pups… large grassy fenced yard, friendly dogs on site for play date, and her adorable sons embraced my fur babies and wanted them to sleep in the same room at night. I appreciated the photos sent during their stay, it made me feel super comfortable and satisfied that they were happy. Thank you Leah and family!”

“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!”

“I felt confident leaving Ollie with Roxanne and Jeff since we did a meet and greet previously. I got a daily message with a photo and general update which I really appreciate! Ollie was happy when I picked him up. I will definitely book with Roxanne and Jeff again!”

About: Hi! I'm Naomi, a lifelong animal lover based in Bend, Oregon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were family. I share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or prefers a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dependable, attentive care with regular photo updates, so you'll always know how your pets are doing while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, and giving pets the patience and affection they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own, providing plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. * Experienced caring for both dogs and cats * Comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and multiple-pet households * Reliable, responsible, and communicative * Flexible scheduling * Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment * Regular photo and message updates * Calm, patient approach that helps pets feel at home I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it's the perfect fit! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying overnight, stopping by for a visit, or joining me for a walk, they'll receive consistent care, exercise, and lots of affection. I plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they have regular potty breaks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, walks, and time to relax. I believe keeping pets on their usual routine helps them feel comfortable and reduces stress while you're away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn each pet's routine—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any medications or special instructions. Keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them settle in and feel at home. My home features a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a secure place to run, play, sniff, and enjoy the outdoors under my supervision.

“Nicole was so great! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but she & her family took great care of Joey. She was prompt in responding & sent picture updates. She was also very accommodating for drop off/pick up times. Joey was a happy boy when we picked him up, we will definitely use her again when in the Bend area.”

“I was thoroughly impressed with how well they took care of my dog Enzo. She and her husband and her kids were extremely warm and welcoming, and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I introduced myself and my dog.. They are extremely easy to work with, super accommodating, and generally just really good down to earth people. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of boarding their animal. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks so much to Kim and her family. Andrew”

“Ellyn watched my cats for 5 days and she was fantastic. My cats loved her - coming out to play and see her each day. Her recaps are hilarious and informative. One of my cats was on medication right before and she was very flexible as we waited to see if Olive would still be on meds while I was gone. We will be sure to use Ellyn again in the future!”
“Christina was so nice to the kitties! I can tell by the pictures that they really liked her and felt comfortable with her. She was dependable and cared for them exactly as we discussed before we left. I will definitely book with Christina again if she is available. Thank you Christina! :)”


“Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!”


“Marisa was fabulous with Moose!! We were *obsessed* with the photos she was sending of him while we were away. He clearly was very comfortable and happy - we would highly recommend Marisa for her exceptional communication, flexibility (we booked somewhat last-minute), and for caring for Moose like he was her own!”


“Hannah goes above and beyond the expectation! She always leaves me a detailed description of the activities that occurred by her and Kiki during the visit. It is clear that Kiki is excited to see Hannah and enjoys their time together. Hannah also lets me know if anything out of the ordinary needs attention and is willing to help out if needed. I am so happy to have Hannah as a sitter and companion for Kiki!”


“I appreciate Kevin’s thorough report cards! He is flexible and accommodating and takes great care of our cats! This is the second time I’ve booked with Kevin and I’d definitely recommend him.”

“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.”

“Christina took care of my two cats over the holidays. She was so patient with my cats who are very shy. She let them move at their own pace and won them over in the end. She took pics, kept me updated on how they were doing, and even watered my Christmas trees when she realized one of the cats was using it as her water bowl.”

“Sarah was great with our two cats! She gave them their medicines, played with them, kept them company did everything we asked perfectly! We will surely ask her to pet sit for us again!!”

“Brooke is great! She has taken good care of my two elderly kitties and is a terrific communicator. Very easy going and at the same attentive to details. We so appreciate her and recommend her highly.”


“Aaron is our go to sitter and has cared for our two cats on several occasions. Our cats love him and they are always happy and relaxed when we return. We can highly recommend Aaron for his reliability, great communication and best of all his sincere care for animals.”

“Anna was very courteous and took good care of our 15 year old Kitty while we went to visit family for the holidays. Anna stayed out our house and left it perfectly clean, even taking care of the laundry. She sent us photos of our cat Molly several times a day. She’s a great pet sitter and we would definitely recommend her services.”


About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart, and I've shared my home with them for most of my life. I'm currently the very proud staff member (let's be honest) to three wonderful cats, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. I'm comfortable caring for friendly, shy, senior, or independent cats and always let them set the pace. Some want to play, some want cuddles, and some simply appreciate a respectful human who knows their boundaries—and I'm happy to be all of the above. I'm experienced with: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box cleaning • Playtime and enrichment • Administering medications • Following special routines or diets • Sending regular updates and photos while you're away (though I can't promise your cat won't pretend they don't know me the moment you get home) Whether your cat greets me at the door or decides to observe me from across the room for two days before becoming my supervisor, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you're home again.

“Beatriz was amazing with my shy, older dog. It was clear from the first drop in that she took the time to let my dog acclimate, and by visit 2 they were playing fetch in the yard. Also very professional with communication and punctual. Definitely would recommend!”


“Madison was awesome and took great care of my two timid cats! They can take a while to warm up to new people, but they actually came out of hiding to say hello and hang out with her on the second day! I’m super grateful for her help and will definitely be requesting her help with the kitties again in the future.”

“Stacey did a great job. She was punctual, did everything we asked her to to do, including administering a medication to one of my dogs. Dogs were relaxed and happy when we came home. She walked them and fed them with no issues.”

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.

“Jamie was very communicative and was wonderful with Maggie. Her pups played so well with my dog, and I loved receiving the frequent pictures and videos. Would definitely send Maggie back to Jamie again!”

About: I have two pets of my own, a 6-year-old tabie cat named Chip and a 3-year-old Golden Doodle named Waffles. I've had them both since babies so I'm very familiar with the different stages of growth. We're an active family so I prioritize lots of potty and play breaks during the day while I work from home. We have lots of toys to stay entertained, as well as cozy couches to take naps on. I've cat/dog sat many times for friends and neighbors and have grown passionate about caring for all fur babies and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away and most importantly understand the importance of daily photo updates throughout the day. I work from home, so potty breaks for dogs are every 2 hours. As well as making sure they're comfortable throughout the day with playtime and feeding schedules. I have a pet-friendly apartment, I allow pets on furniture and have toys available to play with at all times but if your pet doesn't do well with toys lying around I would be more than happy to remove them if necessary.
“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.”

“Fantastic experience. Quick responder. Welcomed my lil pup into the family. Big dog Milo, gentle giant helped ease her into a new space. Her son was a great available, friendly lap. Easy hop to the amphitheater from their place. High recommend.”

“Christina was great to work with and super responsive from booking all the way through pick up at the end of the day. She has a lovely home and a really sweet pup. I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing doggy day care.”

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!
“Alana was awesome, we needed a last-minute sitter and she responded so quickly! Our nervous dog easily warmed up to her in and had a great afternoon. We would hire Alana again in a heartbeat.”
“We booked Julie last minute to watch Daisy while we took our toddler out on a visit to Bend. I’m so glad we found her and that she was available! She did an incredible job watching our baby girl. She took Daisy on walks and sent lots of updates and pictures, which helped set my mind at ease. My only complaint is that she doesn’t live near us in Northern California because I’d love to book her again. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“After a long stay our dog is back with Nicole and her family for doggy daycare! He LOVES being there. He is safe, well cared for, and with their yard and dogs he is well exercised! Happy doggo, happy mama 💗”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we instantly felt at ease leaving our pup with Lauren. June had a great time and came back to us tuckered out from a day of playing with Lauren's pups. Lauren sent us numerous updates throughout the day, so we were never left wondering how June was getting along. I would highly recommend Lauren as someone to feel safe leaving your pet with!”

“Tiffany is amazing! She took great care of our two puppies. They had a fun time playing with her sweet dog Barbara too. She was also a great communicator. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Stacey was awesome! She and her team of two dogs kept our little lady ? more than entertained for the day. She gave me updates throughout the day. Outstanding communication! Would definitely work with her anytime!”

“Lisa and Max were amazing! We came into Bend to camp and catch a couple concerts at the Amphitheater. Lisa and Max made accommodations for our pup to come over and hang during the concerts and she had a great time! Very communicative, responsive, and overall, just excellent dog people! Would definitely recommend them for your Rover needs!”


About: Hi, I’m Avery! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently care for my own senior dog, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I also work at the local Humane Society, where I care for dogs of all kinds with all kinds of needs, including reactive dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need help with medications or special feeding routines, and I’ve handled dogs as small as 2 pounds and as big as 150 pounds. I understand how important routines, meds, and calm handling are, especially for senior dogs or dogs with special needs. I’ve been dog sitting consistently for about five years, through high school and into college, and I truly treat every dog like my own. As a dog mom myself, I completely understand wanting lots of updates and reassurance while you’re away, so I’m very communicative and happy to send frequent photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe and doing well, and my goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate you and your pup in any needs that you might have! I am home from college all summer and my schedule is extremely open! I will be able to put my full attention on the pet or pets that I am taking care of! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in both my home and a client’s home!I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions.

“David has been an incredible dog walker for my dog Sasha. He is outgoing, fun-loving, and genuinely loves animals. What amazed me most was how quickly Sasha bonded with him — she is usually very shy around strangers, but she connected with David immediately. Now she gets excited every time she sees him! Their walks around the neighborhood are always an adventure, and it’s clear how much David enjoys exploring nature with her. He is kind, funny, dependable, and brings such positive energy to every walk. Watching Sasha so happy and comfortable with him has been wonderful. It truly feels like the perfect match.”

“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.”


“Emerson has been taking Bella on long walks while I am recovering for surgery. Bella is a very hyper , leash reactive dog. Emerson has been on time and takes her for an hour and a half which tires her out to the max. So greatful for Emerson, and her ability to handle my high maintainenance high energy pup! Note: Bella is not the best on leash, she tends to pull and Emerson is really handling it. She walks Bella three times a week.”

“Kaili does so amazing with our big boy Westley! He’s a sensitive soul and he’s so excited to see her when she arrives for walks, he very much trusts her and has a great time and comes home happy and tired.”

About: I have had animals in and around my house all of my life. I love both cats and dogs and have experience with both and many different sizes and breeds. I love animals and consider them a part of my family. I have experience administering pills, syringes, eye drops and most other common at home care for both dogs and cats. Pet care is my main focus. I run a small business from home which allows me full focus and flexibility around your pets needs! I’m very flexible and will ensure to prioritize your pet if we have a booking together. I try to leave any space better than I left it. I’m happy to follow any directions you may have for both your pet(s) or your home. I always double check locked doors, water and food levels as needed prior to leaving. I will make sure your pets are cared for, and you are kept in the loop of any and all things that take place during my time with your pet(s).
About: My love of and for taking care of animals started at a young age, being partially raised on my grandparent's farm. I grew up with dogs and cats as companions, and that early connection taught me how to listen to them: their moods, their energy, and the quiet ways they communicate what they need. Today I’m a self-employed forest therapy guide in Bend, and that same sense of presence and patience carries into how I care for pets. I love taking dogs on enriching walks where they can explore the world through scent and movement, or simply sitting with an animal and letting them feel safe and at ease. I’ve raised and cared for many different personalities, including a medically needy pug and my current highly anxious border collie rescue, who has taught me a lot about sensitivity, reassurance, and reading subtle cues. I’m especially known among friends as a bit of a “cat whisperer”; even the shy or standoffish cats tend to warm up quickly. Whether your pet is playful, nervous, curious, or independent, I meet them where they are and care for them with gentleness, attentiveness, and respect. My goal is simple: that your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I'm self-employed, working a mix of at-home and guiding outdoor sessions that keep me away for no more than 3 hours at a time. I have plenty of time and flexibility to ensure your furry family is well taken care of! I like to stick to YOUR routine and preferences to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe. I create a calm and comfortable atmosphere and keep a tidy, respectful environment when staying in your home.
About: I grew up with a Lakeland Terrier and a Yorkshire Terrier, who taught me both the fun and responsibility of pet care. While I don't currently own a dog, I do actively dog sit for clients, friends, and family. My experience allows me to provide sincere and kind pet care for your dog. I work remotely most days, so I am available to take care of your pet early in the morning, afternoons, evenings, and anytime during weekends. I’ll take care of your pet in your home based upon your guidelines—it’s your home, so I want your pet to have consistency within the practices you’ve established.
About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs, including administering oral medication, walking, bathing, feeding, snuggling and ensuring their overall happiness, comfort, and well-being. Dogs are family! I also have a Furbo camera so I can peek in & give treats when I’m away. I work from home with occasional errands and activities out of the home so your friend will have lots of attention and snuggle time. I'm available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends as well as check-ins & walks with notice. I often take our dog with us for errands and would bring yours with us as well. We go to the dog park and take frequent walks. When your dog is with us, they’re family & I’d love any and all suggestions from you to keep them as comfortable as possible. I have two large courtyards and several grassy areas for potty breaks throughout the day and for shorter walks. The area is unfenced so will be sure to leash your dog, just as we do ours. I have a small friendly dog to keep yours company & a 9-year-old daughter who is super sweet & helpful. Our dog sleeps on the bed and yours would be welcome to do the same however, I'm happy to crate at night if you'd prefer. **Please note, I have an upstairs unit incase that’s an important consideration for either yours or your pup’s mobility.
“Emma is wonderful! She takes Harper on nice long walks and always sends updates and any changes via message. Harper always looks so happy in her photos - I can tell she is enjoying her time with her new friend!”

About: Hi! I’m Brenda, a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member are in good hands. I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet receives reliable and attentive care.

I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time and always make sure pets are secure and supervised.
“I needed Lauren to come during the day and let our dogs out and walk our young one. Our dogs have a big age gap so each have their own needs. Lauren was great and flexible. It was awesome knowing she was there while I was not. My dogs loved her! She was easy to reach and very responsive! Will use again :)”

About: It's was an amazing 16 years taking care of my own dog, and 8 years ago, I was lucky enough to add a cat named Eleanor to our pack when my wife and I moved in together. I would be thrilled to take care of your animals while you are away and give them the attention they deserve. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a lot of time on my hands and I’m looking to pick up extra work while I look for my next role. I love my pets and do whatever to make them feel comfortable and cared for which included carrying my dog up and down the stairs everyday for about a year.
About: Hi there. I’m not a professional trainer I’m just someone who loves dogs, especially the ones that other people might call “difficult.” I’ve been around dogs most of my life and found that the ones who struggle a bit are often the ones who need someone the most. I offer dog walking with a focus on building trust through play. Play isn’t just about burning energy it’s a way to connect. Studies have shown that interactive play can help lower stress and build a stronger bond between dogs and people by releasing oxytocin, the same hormone tied to love and trust. I’ve seen firsthand how a simple game can help a nervous dog feel seen and safe. I’m not in this for the money. I just like helping dogs feel more confident and comfortable in the world. If your dog needs someone patient who doesn’t mind going at their pace, I’d be happy to meet them. I’m working full time job 6 to 4:30pm so my availability is open after I get out of work and we can rock and roll! When I’m caring for a dog, whether on a walk or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe and respected. I move at the dog’s pace, especially if they’re nervous or reactive, and I avoid overwhelming situations like crowded areas or off-leash encounters with unfamiliar dogs. I use calm energy, clear communication, and positive reinforcement to build trust. If a dog is unsure, I let them approach me on their terms and use play to help them relax. I’m always watching for body language cues so I can adjust to what the dog needs in the moment. My goal is to create a calm, low pressure environment where the dog feels safe and understood, whether that’s during a walk, a visit, or time spent in their home. I treat every dog like an individual and do my best to earn their trust one step at a time.
About: It is all about having peace of mind! I am hoping that by offering my services, I can give pet owners a sense of security while they are away and their dogs are left alone. I wish I could have more dogs personally myself, but I have a 2 year old Beagle who I raised from 7 weeks old. He is the love of my life and he has taught me so much more than I could have ever taught him! By offering services on Rover I am looking to help people out who have suffered the same anxiety about leaving their dog at home like I used to. I know first hand what it's like to wonder what your dog is doing while you are away! I would love to help you and your dog by checking in on them and having my dog play with them as well!

“Michelle took my dog in on short notice to keep her company while I worked long hours. Her and her children were very kind to my dog and she got plenty of attention and walks! She came home tired, relaxed and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. I will be using her services again! :)”

“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!”

“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!”
“There are endless positive things to say about Chris! She went above and beyond to care for our dog. She does sniffle mats, walks, treats and sends pictures and videos during her stay! Her dog Bristol is also the sweetest pup and she is so gentle. The care and love she has for these dogs is so special. We can’t recommend Chris enough. Your pet will be in wonderful hands staying with her! Thank you again :)”

“They were amazing with my nervous pup, Loki. I highly recommend them for any of your pups needs. They were very patient with him while he warmed up to them and gave him plenty of love and enrichment for the week they had him 😁”

“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.”

“Ann & Adam took such great care of my boy Leonard. Lots of activities and pix, and their dog Archer has a great temperament. Leonard came home happy and in a good state of mind.”


“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Aubin was wonderful. She took Denver on morning walks and he seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again.”

“Veronica was so great with Charlie, it felt like I was leaving her with family. She kept me updated frequently, took her for walks, and gave many cuddles. I will definitely bring Charlie back to Veronica.”

“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!”

“Nicole was so great! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but she & her family took great care of Joey. She was prompt in responding & sent picture updates. She was also very accommodating for drop off/pick up times. Joey was a happy boy when we picked him up, we will definitely use her again when in the Bend area.”

“I was thoroughly impressed with how well they took care of my dog Enzo. She and her husband and her kids were extremely warm and welcoming, and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I introduced myself and my dog.. They are extremely easy to work with, super accommodating, and generally just really good down to earth people. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of boarding their animal. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks so much to Kim and her family. Andrew”


“Jamie was wonderful with my dog Oreo! My almost 13 year old chihuahua mix stayed with Jamie for a long weekend this summer. It was obvious Oreo had a wonderful weekend and was treated to plenty of walks, sun bathing on the couch, and cuddles. I loved the updates and pictures while I was away, they helped me know Oreo was safe and cared for deeply! Jamie was wonderful at listening to Oreo's needs for her older age, now needing soft food, no stairs, and shorter walks. All around I had a wonderful experience with Jamie and I'm sure Oreo did too!”

“Tania was amazing! She made sure that our Sadie felt like one of the family. We got regular updates with photos of Sadie having a blast. I would "HIGHLY" recommend Tania to anyone who truly wants the best care for their pet.”

“Madeline did an absolutely stellar job taking care of our heeler during his stay with her. She was communicative about how he was doing and did a great job asking questions when she needed, and we’re excited to have her watch him again.”
