House Sitting Alfalfa

“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”

About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds and ages. As a licensed pharmacist, I have extensive experience safely administering medications — both to pets and humans — and I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your furry family members get exactly the care they need. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wonderful German Shepherd and two rescue cats. Though my current housing situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own right now, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with other people’s pets. I especially love active dogs — bonus points if yours is a frisbee enthusiast! You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care in a calm and structured environment while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide lots of attentive, one-on-one time with your pets throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, runs, or trips to the park, so I’m a great match for energetic dogs. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best when you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits that fall on my parenting time. I’ve been trusted by many clients — including friends and strangers alike — to care for their beloved pets and homes. I provide daily updates and photos throughout each booking so you can stay connected and feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“She took such great care of my baby girl. Loved getting the daily updates and Eden was so good at communicating. Chaya was so happy and I could tell she had a great time.”

Taylor H.

“Shay was great with Isabella! Very attentive to her needs and personality, had a wonderful experience. Will definitely book with him again next time we need a sitter!”

Natalie W.

“Kaili did a great job with our house and two pups over a few days! She gave regular photo updates but was self sufficient, and took them out on lots of fun hikes. We came back to a clean house and tired dogs and would have her back anytime!”

Jessica B.

“Cassandra did an outstanding job with our dog while we were on vacation. She provided pictures showing how comfortable and cared for our dog was while we were gone. Both my husband and I also noticed that our dog was calm and happy when we returned. We also agreed that our dog’s behavior had changed for the better! I definitely recommend Cassandra and we’ll use her again!”

Gina C.

“Karina was great. Very communicative, offered a meet-and-greet before booking the stay, and sent lot's of images and videos throughout the stay. She went above and beyond in sending overviews of her walks and extra videos. Came home to a happy and healthy pup, clean house, and would definitely use her again.”

About: • Caring for pets and homes since I was 15 (friends, family, and repeat clients) • Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities • Comfortable caring for senior pets and administering medications • Patient with shy, anxious, or nervous pets—I let them warm up at their own pace, and somehow the shy cats usually decide we're friends. • Happy to provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, depending on what your pet enjoys • Proud cat parent to three cats, so I fully understand that we exist to serve Their Royal Highnesses • No breed restrictions—every dog deserves love, belly rubs, and good care • Respectful, clean, and reliable while staying in your home; happy to bring in mail, water plants, and help keep everything just as you left it • I know routines matter, so I do my best to keep your pets comfortable by sticking to their normal schedule as closely as possible I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. My goal is simple: for you to come home to happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. That flexibility allows me to be present throughout the day and plan my schedule around your pet's needs instead of the other way around. I'm available for overnight stays and genuinely enjoy spending time with the pets I'm caring for. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon play sessions, sticking to medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I love making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Because I already spend much of my day at home, I don't like leaving pets alone for long periods whenever I can avoid it. My goal is to give them plenty of attention, keep their routine consistent, and make your time away as stress-free as possible for both of you. I believe every pet deserves individualized care because no two animals are exactly alike. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, medical needs, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced caring for puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and administering medications. I'm also happy to care for cats, dogs, fish, chickens, and other small livestock or farm animals, including feeding horses and goats. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pets on their normal routine, double-check doors and gates, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet wants to play nonstop, explore on a walk, nap on the couch, or quietly observe me from across the room, I'm happy to meet them where they are and earn their trust at their own pace.

“Junna was very good at communication, keeping me up to date over the time she took care of my dogs. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

Thomas H.

“Sherry was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing our dogs happy and relaxed made it much easier to be gone. Our home was well cared for, and the dogs were clearly comfortable and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend Sherry to others and would be happy to book with her again in the future.”

Michael C.

“I would highly recommend Lauren! She was excellent with communication, sent multiple pictures throughout everyday of my trip. The house was clean and tidy when we returned and the dogs were so happy. From the pictures she sent, I could tell my dogs were super comfortable with her. She took them on daily walks and gave medicine as instructed. Lauren was super professional and made sure my dogs needs were met. 10/10!”

Athena H.

“Really happy with my experience with Caroline. She was very professional, responsible and personable. During our meet/greet she asked good questions to make sure she accommodated Daisy's routine. Daisy is a dog who has higher energy levels and needs to be outside playing often and I think Caroline did a great job filling that need. She looked after Daisy during a heat wave which makes things more challenging but they had a great time at the lake or creek to stay cool. She regularly sent picture updates of Daisy which I really appreciate and left the house very clean. Would book again.”

Kylie O.

“Ian was marvelous taking care of our big baby! We were able to relax on our trip knowing Walter was safe at home being well take care of! Ian is professional, punctual, caring, clean, and kind!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, and keeping pets active through walks and playtime. I'm reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they're my own. I'll always make sure you receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I am currently working part time at a brewery here in bend! So my schedule is very flexible and lots of time to hangout with your animals! I always strive to keep your pet's routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I'll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care, while also following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

“Kasey was very communicative and took amazing care of our two Aussies, our cat, and all my plants! I would definitely use her again :)”

Melissa G.

“Selfishly hate to leave a good review in case Brian isn’t available for us next time, but he went above and beyond. Our pets were so well cared for, he sent updates and pictures of them out and about, and was proactive with issues that came up on our property. We’re grateful we found the perfect person”

Pam C.

“Kiana watched our dog Oscar for a week. She took great care of him and our home. We will definitely ask her to watch him again next time!”

Brigitta G.

“Joann helped me out last minute after another sitter bailed. She was great! Easy to communicate with, regular updates. I came home to a happy and healthy pup”

About: I raised my own dog from puppy until she passed away 2 years ago. I have also worked to take care of and train the therapy dogs in the woods at Deschutes Wilderness Therapy. I have been house and pet sitting in Bend or about a year, but have previous experience caring for the pets of friends and loved ones. I work in the evenings as a piano instructor Monday-Thursday. My mornings, early afternoons, and evenings are totally free to give your pets love and attention. I am not able to board your pet in my home. I am happy to came stay in your home overnight, or drop in throughout the day to care for your cats and dogs.

“Liza did such a great job with my dog and cat. We used Liza two times with both being over night stays. I will continue to use her every time I need a sitter. Liza left my home just like we left it and Taylor and Rusty were happy and content. Liza is easy going and very kind and is passionate with the pets she sits for. I highly recommend Liza.”
