House Sitting Bells Bend

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I enjoy building a bond with dogs and getting to know their personalities. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm companion, I love making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I've also cared for cats for several households and understand the importance of following each pet's individual routine, from feeding schedules and litter box care to playtime and companionship. I know that every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy earning their trust at their own pace. I believe the best pet care comes from patience, reliability, and treating every pet as an individual. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you're away, knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and thoughtful care. As a freelance artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week with advance notice. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and both weekend and weekday house sitting. Because my schedule is adaptable, I'm able to plan my work around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and routine they deserve. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care needs. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I believe clear communication is important, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away.

“Thank you Dana for doing such a great job with our two dogs and cat. You house sat for us for three nights and four days. The dogs were extremely happy with the way you played ball with them and let our sweet baby Ren sleep in bed with you we went away out of state to our daughters graduation and you made the experience so comfortable by always responding and sending pictures of the babies while we were gone. I can see why you’re booked out for so long. We will definitely use you again in the future if we’re able to get into your busy calendar. But I understand why you’re so busy thank you so much.”

“Alannah is always so good with our pups, she sends pictures and updates and always leaves our apartment the way she found it! Artemis and Apollo love having her over! 💗”

“Sophie immediately put my dogs at ease. Not only did she make sure their basic needs were met, she made sure they were thriving. I was a little worried one of them was going to trade me in for her. 🤣 she was also fantastic at communicating with me through out her stay, sending a lot of pics and asking questions/sending status updates. Sophie will be my go-to pet sitter from here on out!”

“Elyssa is absolutely a fantastic sitter. She watched our golden retriever for the weekend while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving him post moving which always makes me nervous. Elyssa, though, was fantastic. At first contact, she set up a meet and greet to come meet us and Triton to make sure we were a good fit (which I appreciated a ton). It always makes me feel better meeting the person who will be taking care of my fur baby. She is great at communication and responds quickly with any updates. Triton got so much love and pets while we were gone and we were able to not worry of him while being gone. I’m really grateful for how well he was taken care of and the peace of mind we had leaving him in Elyssa’s hands!”

“Ashley was great! We had a great meet-and-greet with her to introduce her to our sweet Betty White prior to our trip and Betty took to her immediately. We arrived home after an 11 day trip to an extremely clean house and a well taken care of pup. We will definitely reach out to Ashley in the future for any additional pet/house sitting needs. Thanks, Ashley!”

“Jesse did a great job watching Cali. She played with her, took her for walks and sent me pictures and updates. And the house was perfect when I got back. I’ll definitely hire her again!”

“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”

“We could not have asked for a better experience with June. This was our very first time using Rover and also the first time leaving our 1-year-old puppy, along with our 14-year-old dog, so we were naturally very anxious. From the very beginning, June was incredibly sweet, patient, and loving with both of them. Our puppy had a hard time adjusting to us being away, which was expected, but June handled it with so much calm, understanding, and care. She reassured us that this was normal and stayed consistent and gentle with him until he settled in. True to her word, every day got better. What we appreciated most was her communication. June kept us updated daily with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very receptive to any suggestions we shared and immediately applied them, showing how committed she was to doing what was best for our dogs. It is not easy to trust someone with your home and your pets, especially for the first time, but June exceeded every expectation. We feel incredibly grateful that we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely loving pet sitter.”

“I was incredibly nervous as this was the first time I have ever used a pet sitter, but my anxiety disappeared the moment I met David. He was fantastic from start to finish. He came over a few days before the appointment to meet Gracie and for us all to get acquainted, which put both me and my pup at ease. When the actual pet sitting day arrived, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly considerate. He sent multiple photo updates throughout his visit, which absolutely made my day and let me know Gracie was in great hands. It’s safe to say Gracie has found a new BFF! This dog mom is thrilled to have found such a reliable, caring person to stay with her baby when I need to be away from the house for an extended period of time. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking him again!”

“Cydney is my favorite rover I’ve used so far. She stayed at my house for four days and watched my two dogs. I came home to a clean home with two happy, well fed doggies. She was so sweet, responsive, and followed my long list of detailed instructions. I was stress free my entire trip. I havn’t felt like that with other rovers. I will definitely be using Cyd again and referring her to my mother as well.”

Brieanna J.

“Holly went above and beyond to give our sweet pup the attention he deserves. From the first meeting our dog was smitten 🐾🖤”

Katie M.

“Sydney watched our sweet Panda & I couldn’t be more thankful!!! She even sent me pup pics along the way so that I was able to be fully present during my travel. Thank you Sydney!!”

About: Recently I have fostered a few cuties from the humane society, including a mama dog and her puppy! These experiences, along with many years of pet sitting and growing up with dogs, cats, and horses, has made me comfortable and confident with a range of pets! I am currently a grad student, so although I have class during the school year, I have a very flexible schedule that can meet your pet’s needs. I also tend to have a very flexible schedule when on summer break and other school holidays. Being a student also means always needing a study buddy (preferably the four-legged kind!) I currently live in a small studio apartment, so can only accommodate smaller animals in my space. As far as in others’ homes, I strive to create a calm environment and stick to the pet’s usual routine as much as possible!

“Jericho was great with my two pups! They were so worn out when I get home after spending a weekend with her. She was great at communicating. Will definitely use her again.”

“Brittany took excellent care of our house and pets while we were out of town. I was very impressed by her professionalism and communication while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals. She went above and beyond and we’re looking forward to having her back.”
