Dog Walking Alfalfa

“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.”

Molly C.

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

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets. I spent many years going to dog shows and caring for animals including horses, cats, hamsters, doves, turtles, fish, and of course dogs. I currently have three dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal like family and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am currently a stay at home parent with a flexible schedule. My work background is in social services. I’m happy to find what works best for your schedule. I have a fenced yard and we use a crate if necessary at night. Not currently boarding pets in my home but happy to serve pets in your home.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life — from Jack Russel’s, Aussies, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Maine Coones, Tuxedo cats and more. I am the designated auntie to a lot of my friends dogs and love being able to play with them and take care of them when I get the opportunity. I work remotely, my job is flexible and I’m able to dedicate the time needed to care for your animal. As someone with pets and kids, I know how important our fur babies are and the level of trust involved to take care of your pet(s). Looking forward to meeting you and your babies! I work full time but am remote and my job is extremely flexible. I’m available any day of the week for whatever you need! I would love to take them for walks on the butte or at the park and snuggle up with them while at home. I do have three children so the animals need to be good with kids :) I live on 20 acres with plenty of room for the dogs to roam! My schedule allows me to get the dog out for fresh air and exercise often. I have two cats currently who are older and very relaxed. I am big on keeping people updated and sending photos so if you’re looking for someone responsible, attentive, caring and communicative you found her!

“She walked our big “difficult” dog, and made it seem like no issue! She also came at a moments notice and and was extremely punctual. Would recommend!!”

“Thank you Jazmin! Jazmin is great! A friend actually texted me while she was on the walk asking if I was walking my dog and that he looked so happy, nope it was Jazmin!”

Emilie U.

“Joann was very nice to work with. She was patient with our large unruly puppy husky. The dogs looked forward to their walks daily. She kept a great record of their journeys and provided pictures.”

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: 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 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.

About: My name is Emily and animals are a major part of my life. I grew up in a home where my mom was a dog trainer for 40+ years. We provided doggy day care and boarding service in our home. I have lots of experience with dogs, their behaviors and personalities, and how they truly bring happiness to people's lives. I have also volunteered my time at different animal rescues and have done an abundant amount of fundraising for animal causes. I have experience working, spending time, and recognizing animal needs; large and small dog breeds. I grew up as a child showing horses on a national level. Growing up on a horse farm, I trained horses, and taught children and adults how to ride. Animals need love and compassion. I love to exercise, and be outside, hiking, swimming, long walks, mountain biking, longboarding, or snowboarding. I enjoy taking my dogs and others to different dog parks. It's easy to lose track of time when the dogs are having fun with one another. I am originally from Vermont. I lived in Colorado for two years where I finished my bachelors degree. Now I live in Oregon, where I will be attending Accupuncture school. My two dogs Luna and Eve are my entire life. I have a passion for healing ourselves, animals, and the planet together. It would be an honor to love and care for your pets. I currently taking a gap year before graduate school. I am available all day to give your animal the care they desire.

I have dog training experience for most of my life. My home has a big fenced in yard. I enjoy taking my dogs and others on hikes, walks, and swimming. I believe that our animals are happier in their home, vs, at a kennel when we are away. I am more than happy and avaible to house sit in your home so your babies are comfortable.

About: I have 4+ years of experience caring for animals of all kinds with thoughtful compassion. Big, small, round or tall, I’ve seen it all!

With my flexible work schedule and convenient in-town location, I’m available for daily walks & check-in’s, overnight stays and long term sits.

Your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home, alleviating all furry jitters, while I take the best possible care of your home! As a very clean & detail oriented person, I won’t let anything slip through the cracks.

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

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born a truly love all animals. I see them as our companions who deserve the best all the time! With me you can expect any amount of activity for your furry family member; short walks, long runs, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I work from home so I have total availability to be there for your pet whenever and for however long you need! I work from home and love animals; so I can make any schedule work. Need me for 1 hour every day? Done. Need me all day for a week? Done. I have a fairly flexible schedule meaning walks can be sprinkled in throughout the day. I usually goto the gym or on a run after work and can use this time for longer walks/runs/hikes. I believe all animals should be treated with trust and respect; nobody knows your animal better than you. So please give me any guidance and advice as to how to make their time apart from you as safe, and comfortable as possible.

“Airanna was on time, communicated well, and most importantly was great with our sweet dog who can react to other dogs and animals. We will be delighted to hire her again.”

About: I've always had a huge heart for animals and taking care of things in general. I've taken care of my own animals since I was 8 or 9 years old and did 4H for 4 years. Family and friends always had me as there pet sitter because not only was I attentive and took good care of their animals, but I absolutely loved doing it! I'm up for any challenge and any type of animal and I promise to take excellent care of them. I have a couple cats of my own and am very close with my moms dogs who live next door! I am currently in school but taking online classes so I can take my schoolwork wherever I go! I am looking for a part-time job but don’t have one at the moment so I am very flexible with my time. I live in a small house by myself. It is part of a duplex that I share with my mom. She is aware that I will be watching peoples pets on the premises and we both own our own pets, so we are very aware of the risks such as pet hair and accidents. We share a fenced back yard that is pretty large. It is about a quarter of an acre. I have one cat and she is very friendly with other animals. I used to live on a farm with her so she is used to other furry friends.
