As pet owners and animal lovers ourselves, the team members at Waypoint Hotel are more than happy to welcome you and your furry family-members to beautiful Bend, Oregon. As a dog and other pet-friendly hotel, we offer accommodations and information that will make traveling with pets a breeze; for you and them.

Bend occasionally gets the nickname of “Dog City, USA,” and you’ll soon see why. From restaurants and food truck pods to our shops, parks and more, so much of this town is pet-friendly. There are even breweries that make dog-safe beer, letting your good boys and girls join in on an evening of brewery hopping.

Our location in Bend’s up-and-coming Central District means our guests have access to plenty of nearby pet-friendly parks, like Hollinshead Park. Let your four-legged friends get their zoomies out at some of the nearby off-leash areas, or try out Waypoint Hotel’s green turf area, equipped with water faucets and doggie bags; plus, water bowls are available for purchase in the gift shop. Otherwise, remember that city ordinance requires dogs to be on leashes outside of these off-leash dog parks. For a leashed walk, try out the nearby options like Orchard Park, Pioneer Park, Pilot Butte Neighborhood Park, or if you end up making your way downtown, the picturesque Drake Park.

Have an event coming up that requires you to board your pet? We ask that guests do not leave their pets unattended in their room, but don’t worry, Bend is very pet friendly. For a convenient dog-sitting option, check out Wee Tails Playcare and Training, located across the street from Waypoint Hotel, or any of these other local pet daycares. From dog-walkers to cat sitters, you’ll find plenty of options that provide quality stays and peace of mind.
