“Riley was awesome! Communication was great and she made me feel comfortable about leaving Jack. I would definitely recommend. I appreciated the updates and photos since Jack and I are rarely apart. I plan to book her again.”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“So pleased after having met Jenna. She took great care of our girl. I'm sure my doggy appreciated the doggy door to the safe fenced yard. Jenna sent lots of pictures. Would absolutely use them again :)”

About: I am active and enjoy hiking and walks in nature with four legged friends. Your babies will be cared for like family. Sorry, but I don't accept aggressive breeds (Pit bulls, Rottweilers or any dogs over 75lbs.) I love to make animals happy and contented. I believe in positive care and love to them. Their comfort while their parents are away is my priority. My property is fully fenced large lot. I am with them the entire time outside. I have some experience training dogs. I taught commands by voice and hand signals successfully. We can do meet and greets. I am very responsible and would do everything possible to make sure your pet is safe and happy while you are away. I am retired and your pet will have all my attention. I am active and enjoy giving a dog walks in the area as well as playing games in a fenced yard. I have a fenced yard. Luna Park is close by for nice walks. My senior dog has passed, so your dog will have all my attention.
“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! :)”
“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!”
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mackenzie was SO easy to work with and I know my pup Aurora was well taken care of due to updates and photos sent my way during her stay! She seems so happy, so thankful for Mackenzie! We will be using her services again!”
“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 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”
“Amber and Savannah were absolutely phenomenal. I cannot imagine a better place to leave my pup. I will ALWAYS board Lulu with them. They took her running, to the river, off leash dog park... My dog was loved and had such a good time with them and their fur baby Nick, who is also a special dog. Thank you so much.”

I can’t wait to meet you and your pets, and I look forward to giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve!

“Kay did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. She visited once each morning and alerted us of the start of her visit.

My clients include large dogs (German Shepard, Black Lab), frogs, snakes and a bird, as well as my own four dogs back home ranging from chihuahua to black lab.

Drop In Visits and Walks are the easiest to accept but still open to discussing overnight visits and making it work. I am in a pet friendly house with a gated area for play and bathroom use. When at the dogs home I make sure to consider what the owners are comfortable, as well as the dog, to ensure a great time.

“Jeff & Roxanne took the best care of our pup! They were kind, excellent communicators & flexible as our plans evolved over the weekend. Our pup came home happy and tired. This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous to leave our pup for the first time but they are what makes Rover a wonderful resource. Don’t hesitate to book with Jeff & Roxanne- they’re the best!”
About: We love animals! We have a big yard, but we’re usually home with our pets. Our kids (5 & 9) love to play with and help care for them, while still being adaptable to less friendly dogs who want space.

We have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and a quiet neighborhood for walks. Our senior dog isn’t high energy, and easy to get along with.

“Darla is the nicest person and will care for your animals as if they are her own. I am so lucky to have found them to help out with my girls as I just get settled with work here in town. Your pets are in great hands with Darla and her family.”
“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!”

I am currently taking some time away from veterinary medicine, which gives me a flexible schedule to help pet owners who need dependable daytime care.

“First off I want to say I don’t think I’ll ever find someone as dedicated to loving dogs as much as Riley! On the shortest notice I’ve ever done she was quick to jump up and walk Jack and make sure he was getting the fresh air and playtime he needed! Not only was she able to walk my boy on such short notice but made sure he had fresh water and a treat to go with it! She communicated with me through their walk and sent me plenty of pictures showing that he definitely had the best morning walk he’s had in a while! 10/10 me and Jack will be back!”

I can also administer some medications if needed as well. At OHS, I served as a team lead, led tours, ran camps, trained new volunteers, and even taught a few classes.

“I had Dee stop in and take my pup for several walks while I was out of town. She was easy to schedule and communicate with, was always on time, and kept my dog exercised and relaxed. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Dinah! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past five years, my bond with my two dogs, Polly and Moose, has grown especially strong. Polly is an Akbash/Anatolian Shepherd, and Moose is an Aussiedoodle. We love going on daily adventures together and typically get out for 3–4 walks a day. They’re both friendly, easygoing, and happy to meet and play with other dogs, as long as your pup is comfortable with that. I’ve worked in healthcare for nine years and currently work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m excited to extend my passion for animals by helping care for yours: whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away or bringing your dog along on our fun, active outings. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same attention and affection I give my own! I currently work part-time as a registered nurse so I have lots of time on my hands, including weekdays and weekends, to watch and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and multiple parks around my neighborhood to take your pups on adventures. My two dogs are friendly and always excited to have a friend visit. I ensure your dogs are cared for just as I care for my fur babies!
About: I have been raised taking care of all sorts of animals and critters. I total my 8 years of experience based on the cats I have raised, just in my adult life. They are happy and very well taken care of, just as I have been taught in my youth. I just hope to provide the same care I give my own, to yours. I am typically free all day Wednesday through Friday and every other Saturday. During my work week, I usually get two short breaks throughout the day. My cats were raised in my home since birth. They are litter trained and have a balanced diet appropriate for each. I care for other pets the way I am asked to by the pet parent.
“Jena is AMAZING. She really likes dogs you can tell. My dog loves her. She is a very warm and confident woman. I will hire her again. I highly recommend her you will be pleased. Some dog walkers charge 25. an hour she doesn’t. She is very reasonable. I told her to raise her price ! Beale Jones”
About: Hi I’m Dafne! I’m originally from Seattle and new to the Bend area. I’ve been dog sitting/walking for about 15 years now. Working with dogs, cats, etc. has always been my ideal side gig, and I hope to turn it into a full time career one day. With your permission I take your pet(s) on outings to local parks, lakes, and trail systems. Having pets of my own and having had personal experience with a dog with aggression issues, I’ve learned how to get on “their level” so to speak. I have experience in dog/house sitting multiple pets, for weeks at a time. I have experience walking 4+ dogs at a time. References are available upon request, please don't hesitate to ask about anything! I currently WFH part time, which means I have fairly open availability to walk and or care for your pet(s). Walks with me are 45-60 minutes, and I am also available for daily check ins. At this time I am NOT offering boarding services in my own home. However, I am able to transport your pet for walks or even rides to where they need to be.
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: WE LOVE PET's; Even YOUR's! I'd love to hear...What would YOU (& your pet) like MOST from a Visit or our Service? What extra services would be most appreciated? Of coarse LOVE & FUN is essential, but what are some things you'd like to have taken care of while they are with us? Dog boarding & House sitting are both on a per night/24hr basis. Ex: If you need a 8am drop off time Then pick up would be at 8am the final or following day; If more time is needed then a daycare fee would incur. We will do pick up & delivery of your precious pets for $1. per mile too. Our clients have enjoyed Animal care, even insulin shots for aged diabetic pets; having served 50+ years, I enjoy caring for children, horses, cows, cats, chickens, goats, hampsters, Ferret's, fish, fowl, and canine of all kinds. We are retired, raised 3 daughters, all pet lovers... even an Animal Rescue enthusiast. We live on an acre of fenced yard/pasture. I was raised on a small farm, with a whole host of animals... each fulfilling the measure of their creation. From Babies to Birds; we're open to the JOY these cute cuddly creature's can bring into our world. I have cared for, played with and been friends with many pets. From walking & hiking with them to cleaning up their poop, barf, cuts and scrapes, removing ticks and burrs, and even given shots for diabetes. We have cuddled with and loved many pets. We will treat your pets and your home as if they were our own. In fact, when one of us stays overnight, I leave your home clean and tidy, I might even organize the frig & pantry (as a thank you for allowing me to stay in your home, care for your pets, and nosh on your items). If your home is out of town, ie, Juniper Canyon, Powell Butte, or Ococho West; please add on $5.00 for gas per day.
About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.

“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!”
“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.”
“Riley was awesome! Communication was great and she made me feel comfortable about leaving Jack. I would definitely recommend. I appreciated the updates and photos since Jack and I are rarely apart. I plan to book her again.”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“Samantha is AMAZING!! Our boy LOVED being at her home. So much so, he wasn’t that excited to see us when we picked him up 🤣 Her home is set up perfectly to board and she is so communicative. We will absolutely use her again!”
“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! :)”
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
“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!”
“Mackenzie was SO easy to work with and I know my pup Aurora was well taken care of due to updates and photos sent my way during her stay! She seems so happy, so thankful for Mackenzie! We will be using her services again!”
“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 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”
“Amber and Savannah were absolutely phenomenal. I cannot imagine a better place to leave my pup. I will ALWAYS board Lulu with them. They took her running, to the river, off leash dog park... My dog was loved and had such a good time with them and their fur baby Nick, who is also a special dog. Thank you so much.”
“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 😁”
“Donna was so great with Ranger. She took amazing care of her and sent lots of photos and videos so we could see how she was doing. It was so nice knowing she was getting lots of love and attention while we were out of town. Thank you Donna! Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ashleigh was amazing. She helped us out last minute and took great care of our dog. He is an older dog with meds and she was so good to him. We got updates and photos daily. She was so easy to communicate with and really loved on my dog while I was away! I would highly recommend Ashleigh!”
“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.”
“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.”
