House Sitting Crooked River Ranch

About: I have taken care of Dogs for my family and friends for years and love every minute of it. I try to form the best bond possible and make sure their individual needs are met and exceeded. All Dogs deserve a loyal ally and a caring friend. I would be honored to meet yours! Available all week and throughout the Holiday Season. Drop In Visits are still available during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I will work around your schedule for Meet and Greets! Bookings can be confirmed before or after these greetings. I am The Emotional Support Human. This means first forming a bond of friendship and trust with your World's Goodest Boyo/Sweetheart. I will introduce myself with a chicken pot pie treat and unconditional love. I will always treat them with the greatest respect and kindness, and only mild authority for their safety during leashed walks. Constant reassurance and love, as well as treats for best behavior and brushes for grooming. If Boarding, we would need to successfully create this friendship and a Territory Introduction beforehand to ensure the emotional state of the animal is ideal. I can guarantee their safety, but I cannot guarantee I can help them overcome their Separation Anxiety. I rent a house with a 20' x 65' grass backyard, edged with tanbark. 6 ft. fence and lockable hatches on both sides. I am not a certified veterinarian; however, Hospice Support is a service that I want to offer free of charge and complimentary to any booking.

“You can tell Josie is a true dog lover, and I felt like she treated my dog with as much care as she would treat her own dog. Our dog is nervous with new people but she was very patient him so he warmed up quickly. She spent a lot of time with him and we got lots of updates. Josie was respectful of our house and left everything in great shape. We would recommend Josie!”

About: I have been around pets for 30 years. I am a licensed Veterinary Technician and can administer meds to sick pets. I love animals and will take very great care of any pets in my care. I am currently between jobs and have time to take care of your pets. I am available to give them the care and attention they need. I have a fenced yard and have 1 very friendly German Shepherd. I am able to stay at your home or mine what ever makes the pet most comfortable.

About: I have always been a lover of animals. From caring for childhood dogs and cats, to pet sitting for friends and clients. When you’re away, your pets deserve to be well taken care of and loved. I am responsible, caring, mindful, and make sure your pets stay in their routine; from walks, outdoor time, and feeding. I am comfortable sitting for animals that need daily medication or special care. I'm currently have a flexible schedule, so I am available to fit the needs and schedule of your pets. I currently offer home stays (cats and dogs), check-ins (cats only), and scheduled dog walks if you are looking for someone that can help out with your busy schedule. Your pets are safe in my care. If a fenced yard is not provided at your home we will always take leashed walks and potty breaks. I love to take dogs out on hikes, so please let me know your preferences on leash/off-leash and dogs physical ability.

“Amber did a great job with our terrier mix Molly. She's not the easiest dog to make friends with but Amber made it happen. She is a great communicator and was flexible and easy to work with on days, times etc. She showed up right on time for both our introductory meeting and also for our departure. We will definitely book with her again.”

About: understand dog body language well and how to react to it, have had my little chihuahua for about 3 years and I love him dearly Take walks everyday with him and he is fed daily, played with him if he so wants to, he’s a smart little doggy so training is necessary for his brain I always respect their boundaries and don’t push them over by doing things they don’t like, dog body language is key to understanding your own pet

“Thank you Crysta!”

Jayde D.

“Madison was great! She played with the cats, sent sweet photos, and left the house clean and tidy. She was a great, quick communicator and I appreciated that she came over for a meet and greet in advance of the sit. We'd have her back anytime!”

About: I’ve lived with and absolutely loved dogs my entire life! :) I have taken care of dogs for my friends and family and I am looking to expand, adore, and care for more pets with Rover. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each pup happy and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and create some new four-legged friendships along the way! 🐾❤️ I work a part-time job on weekend mornings, so I’m available throughout the weekdays for pet walking, pet sitting, and giving your furry friends plenty of love and attention! I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care they deserve. 🐾 I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your own home, where your pets can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you have to keep their routines as consistent as possible.

About: I've been taking care of animals all my life. I booked my first official pet sit at twelve and never turned back. Looking after animals and homes all over the States and across other continents for the past 12+ years. I've taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly animals, administered medications, helped deliver babies, cleaned coups and mucked stalls. Done multi-week sits, given the required(necessary) snuggles and always, ALWAYS, try and send photos of your animals to you (you might be on a trip, but you want to know what they get up to too). Just returning from commercial salmon fishing in Alaska, I have the flexibility to care for your animals on your schedule. I'm new to Bend, so my current free time is often spent connecting with the community, visiting farmers’ markets, enjoying all the different types of water I can find and exploring the area. I flip back and forth between being a homebody and loving the outdoors, so I find that the variety of needs involved in pet and home care fits that balance perfectly. I know that trusting someone with your home and animals is a big deal and can be scary. I pride myself on being respectful of your space and your pets’ routines, and I’m happy to meet each animal where they’re at, whether they’re social and playful or prefer a little more solitude. My goal is to keep your home feeling familiar and cared for, and your pets feeling comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“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: 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.
