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, chickens, rabbits 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.

“Thank you so much! We would love to keep you in mind for the future”

About: I am a former veterinary assistant with 13 years of experience caring for pets of all ages. I am experienced with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs, and I provide compassionate, reliable care with your pet's comfort and safety as my top priority. I am currently taking some time away from veterinary medicine, which gives me a flexible schedule to help pet owners who need dependable daytime care. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a drop in visit, some playtime in the yard, or extra attention while you're at work, I would love to help keep them happy, active, and cared for throughout the day. Safety is my biggest priority and something I take very seriously with my own dogs. I'm extremely detail oriented and attentive, always paying close attention to my surroundings, leash security, gates, doors, and anything that could affect your pet's safety and wellbeing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. I am a huge animal lover and would love to help you in any way you need! I would love to take your pet on a long walk or run if they would benefit from it. I am in between jobs for the next few months so I am widely available! Happy to come any time of the day to provide services. I have two kitties of my own who I love dearly. I will treat your pets like my own and love them just the same!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I understand that dogs and other animals are more than just pets, they’re family. I love to run, so feel free to ask especially if you have a high energy pup. I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, whether we’re going on a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home. I’m comfortable with active dogs and love getting outside, so I’m always happy to help your pup get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, trustworthy hands! I am a full time college student who is also a volleyball player. I have a lot of free time out of the fall season. I am open a lot of breaks and off volleyball season. I have a dog named peanut in my home who is very friendly. I would love to get her another dog to have fun with. She does great at dog parks and loves both small and large dogs. I do kennel my dog because she is very hyperactive at night but I have never kenneled my other dogs at home. If your dog is house trained and doesn’t need to be kenneled there is no need for it. We have plenty of toys and I love taking the dogs to the dog park or on walks.

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I remember! I am always willing to help when it comes to care for your special fur babies. I do work a full time job, Monday- Thursday 8-5. I am available Mornings, evenings and on weekends dog sit, walk or even just pop in and make sure everything is all good! At my home, my dog is super easy to care for! Give her all the tummy scratches and treats and a walk and she is happy! I will do whatever is needed for your animals, whether it be to crate them, or let them roam the house as they please!

“We were staying with friends in town and needed a last minute dog sitter. Spencer was wonderful to help us out while we went out on hike. She was professional and courteous. She came and checked on our Murphy, took him out and played with him. We were thankful for finding someone at the last minute.”

About: I have been dogsitting and dog walking for over 10 years, with experience from puppies, to mature senior dogs. My dog recently passed away, at the ripe old age of 12, so I am accustomed to accommodating elderly dog's needs. I love to run and hike, and having a dog come along is the best part of those activities! I am recent graduate with my MSW from Boise State and I am spending my summer in Central Oregon as I transition into a career job! I will be working part time (occasionally full time) at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp department, and would love to take your dog on outdoor adventures with me! I have my own vehicle that is well suited to transporting dogs to parks and trail networks. I can’t take dogs at my house, but would be happy to provide drop in visits and longer outings throughout the week. I will be working at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp program, usually about 20-35 hours per week, so I might have some flexibility in my schedule. Currently I cannot care for pets at my home during this summer. I have my own vehicle and can visit homes to care for dogs in the central Oregon area.

“We love Caitlin! She is thorough, thoughtful and a true caregiver for our dog while we are gone. She goes above and beyond our expectations every time and is an excellent communicator. There is no doubt that we will try to rebook Caitlin next time we need someone!”

“Brianna was amazing with our puppy, Sesame. She offered to meet the day before which was super helpful to us. She even gave us great local recommendations! She sent lots of pictures, gave a detailed report, and we came home to a very sleepy happy pup. Thank you Brianna!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 9 but have always been the reliable choice for neighbors, family, and friends when it comes to watching over others. I have two dogs of my own (which I’ve raised from two months old) with different personalities, so I’m well versed in dealing with high energy and slightly reactive dogs. I have a hybrid schedule - work from home 2 days a week and work in Bend 3 days a week. I’m always looking for an excuse to take a screen break which is the perfect time to take your pup on a walk (at least two times during my work hours 7am-4pm). I’m used to crate training and can assist with that if needed and love to spend time outside with my own dogs to let them run their energy out. My dogs receive daily supplements, so if your dog has specific needs for meals, I’m your girl.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from my own pets to helping neighbors with theirs. Every pet is treated like family, and their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ve recently discovered a passion for dog grooming and am happy to offer basic grooming services, including bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, deshedding, and nail trims for dogs that are comfortable with them. My goal is to help your pet look and feel their best while making grooming a calm and positive experience. I’m also working with an experienced dog trainer to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior, handling, and training techniques. In addition, I’m currently pursuing certifications in pet first aid, CPR, and professional pet care so I can provide the highest level of care and peace of mind for every family I serve. Dog Walking: My dog-walking service is a special opportunity for my 16-year-old son, who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury and working hard to earn his own spending money. He has grown up around animals and genuinely loves spending time with dogs. All walks are supervised and coordinated through me, and if you prefer that I personally handle every walk, I’m always happy to do so. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, grooming, or loving care while you’re away, they’ll be treated with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own pets. Pet care has become one of my greatest passions. My primary focus is now caring for my family, completing my dual bachelor’s degrees, and providing loving, dependable care for pets. My husband works from home, so one or both of us are almost always here to provide companionship and supervision. We also have two teenagers who absolutely adore animals and love giving our furry guests extra attention, playtime, and affection. Our home is filled with love, and we understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet enjoys adventure, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet spot, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced side yard with a doggy door, allowing dogs that are comfortable using it easy access for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time throughout the day. If your dog has a different routine, I’m happy to follow your preferences. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime with me, my family, and our friendly dogs (if appropriate). We also provide two enjoyable walks each day, along with lots of affection, enrichment, and attention. Of course, treats are always given according to your instructions, dietary preferences, and any allergies or restrictions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: Proud dog owner of 3 years to a corgi/shiba inu mix. I have house sat before as well for larger dogs such as German shepherds. I have also done house sitting for cats as well. I am flexible as I work for myself and tend to do remote work. Honestly, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily rhythm (currently living with a cat)—it doesn’t feel like a task, it feels like joy. I am able to structure my day around the pets I’m caring for, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. My priority is to create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and at ease. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always treat your pet like family.

“Christopher was very good with our girl, Bug. A+ for communication and picture updates ! We really appreciate your help! Thanks!”
