House Sitting Crescent

“Melissa has been great with our cat. He’s always happy when we get home after she stays with him. She understands cat body language, follows instructions, and sends lots of updates and pictures. We definitely recommend her!”

About: I raised my 2 dogs from puppies to adults. Very familiar with potty and obedience training. Familiar with dogs that are reactive and need some extra attention. Work from home so I will almost always be around to watch them and provide attention if I am boarding your dog. Already give my dogs 2-3 walks through the day. I have a fully fenced yard and doggy doors through the garage and to the backyard. One of my dogs, Lucy, is very friendly with others and the other, Javi, prefers his space, but generally just ignores others.

“Chris stayed at our house watching our three large dogs while we were in Thailand. Chris bonded with our pups almost immediately. Took them on walks 2x per day. He sent regular daily updates, photos and videos. We plan on using again in the future.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.

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 or playful cats. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best if you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits if your booking falls on my parenting time (please ask if it’s an issue). 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.

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

About: Hi! We’re Drew and Torri, a work-from-home couple providing fully supervised, in-home dog care just south of Bend in the Three Rivers area (about 18 miles from downtown). Our care is best suited for dogs who do well in a real home environment and benefit from consistency, structure, and attentive supervision. We do not operate a kennel or high-volume setup, dogs stay indoors as part of our household and are cared for throughout the day/night. We share our home with our Labrador, Knox, who is friendly, well-socialized, and used to having visiting dogs around. Care Style & Sleeping Arrangements We focus on individualized care and maintaining each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Dogs may: Free-roam indoors Sleep in a private bedroom or wherever they sleep at home Use a crate if that’s their preference or requirement We do have crates available. Crates are used intentionally for puppies, dogs with destructive behaviors, or dogs who prefer or require a crate for rest. Owners should let us know their dog’s typical sleeping setup in advance. We share our home with our Labrador, Knox, who is friendly, well-socialized, and used to having visiting dogs around. Our home is open and comfortable, with plenty of space for dogs to relax, settle, and feel at ease. We’re a great match for dogs who: Thrive in a home environment Do best with attentive supervision Benefit from routine and consistency Are staying for short trips or extended travel For dogs who prefer minimal social interaction or do best without other visiting dogs, we may be able to offer solo or highly personalized care at an adjusted rate, depending on dates and needs. Meet & Greets For most new clients, we require a meet-and-greet prior to booking. This allows everyone, dogs and humans, to make sure it’s a comfortable fit and gives owners a chance to see where their dog will be staying. We’ve found this step is key to maintaining a calm, safe environment and ensuring successful stays. House Sitting & Multi-Pet Care In addition to in-home boarding, we also offer house sitting for dogs who are most comfortable staying in their own environment. We have experience caring for: Dogs and cats Chickens, ducks, and pigs Horses and other farm animals (basic daily care) House sitting is ideal for dogs who do not do well with other dogs or whose households include multiple species. Both of us work from home full-time, so dogs are rarely left alone beyond short errands or the occasional dinner out. Outdoor time is always supervised, and dogs are separated during feeding to ensure safety and comfort. We maintain a calm, predictable daily routine that helps dogs settle in quickly, especially during longer stays. We live on a 2.5-acre property with a designated, fully fenced area for dogs in our care. Our fencing is ranch-style with additional reinforcement, which works well for most dogs but may not be suitable for dogs who routinely escape fencing or jump barriers. Dogs in our care: Stay indoors in our home (no outdoor kennels) Are supervised while outside Are cared for in a low-stress, structured environment We are always happy to leash dogs for potty breaks if that’s what they’re accustomed to or need.Our home is open and comfortable, with plenty of space for dogs to relax, settle, and feel at ease. We’re intentional about the dogs we accept into our home so we can maintain supervision, follow routines accurately, and respond quickly if a dog needs attention. Our home is set up for indoor, home based care rather than kennel-style boarding, and we prioritize clear communication and consistency to ensure safe, successful stays.

“Emily was the best sitter we could have asked for! She constantly took Otto to the park and for bike rides and her pups Eve and Luna became Otto’s best friends. We loved knowing Otto was in his own home on our trip. We could tell he was so happy when we came back, and she left our house in even better shape than when we left! Otto is already looking forward to her next stay.”

About: I have been pet sitting mostly dogs and cats on Trusted House Sitters website for several years now with over 50 five star reviews. I've taken care of reactive dogs, pets with separation anxiety, large breed dogs, senior pets, kittens/puppies, and animals needing daily medication. I'm comfortable sitting animals with all types of behaviors, special needs and special diets. I'm available and able to give your pets as much attention, exercise, grooming, and love as they need. I'm also happy to send status updates as frequently as you wish. I'm here to give your pets as much normalcy in their day-to-day schedule as I can while you're away. I will comfort them the best i can because i know how taxing it can be on the pets and their loved ones while they're apart.

“I couldn't have been happier with Alycia's pet care. My dogs warmed up to her right away, and she kept me updated via texts and with pictures. She also was available on short notice, which really helped us out! She is a lovely young lady and really has a way with pups!”
