CeCe was warm and welcoming, had a clean, spacious home with a backyard for plenty of zoomies. It’s an ideal set up for dog sitting. I’m also very particular about who I leave my baby with, and I had zero concerns that Angel wouldn’t be looked after as if she was one of CeCe’s own. I can highly recommend her services next time you need a sitter!

Shelby was great. She took Beau in on short notice and made him welcome in her home. She played with him endlessly, took him to the dog park, checked in on any needs he might have and was truly an awesome sitter. I would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks Shelby!

Reagan is an absolute GO TO! She was quick to respond to our last minute request and allowed us to go golf while Gus had his on mini getaway with Yeti. It was clear he was able to burn so much energy in the backyard with Reagan’s pup and loved his time there. They’ll be in our favorites for the next time we’re in Bend. Thank you, Reagan!

We booked Julie last minute to watch Daisy while we took our toddler out on a visit to Bend. I’m so glad we found her and that she was available! She did an incredible job watching our baby girl. She took Daisy on walks and sent lots of updates and pictures, which helped set my mind at ease. My only complaint is that she doesn’t live near us in Northern California because I’d love to book her again. Can’t recommend her enough!

About: I grew up on a farm, and have had a huge love of animals, particularly dogs since I can remember. I meet new animals almost daily, and most people are surprised by how quickly their animal warms up to me. I am my friends go to house/pet sitter and they fully trust me in providing great care for their fur babies. I recently transitioned from a high demand job to a primarily remote work long job. This allows me to spend quality time with your animals, and be present for walks, bathroom breaks, and extra love. I get to know the animal and what is going to best meet their needs and will cater to the animal and owner. Depending on the pet, I can hang out and snuggle or go for walks, to the dog park, or just simply engage them in your yard.

We couldn't be more grateful to have found Claudia! From the start, the genuine love she has for animals was evident in the way she interacted with Otto. The immediate bond she formed with him put our minds at ease while we were away. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos she shared with us, which helped us feel connected to Otto even though we were miles away (he had so much fun!) It was obvious she understood the importance of keeping us informed and made it a priority to keep us in the loop. I can't thank Claudia enough for her kindness and care towards Otto. She’s an absolute gem, and we feel lucky to have found her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in search of a thoughtful, caring, and experienced pet sitter. I honestly wish we could take her home! 😊

Jessica was an amazing sitter. She picked them up and dropped them off to us late and took amazing care of our pups while we went on a day of non-dog friendly adventures in Bend. She was communicative and friendly and sent lots of cute pics! They went hiking and came back to us happy and tired. Cannot recommend Jessica enough for your dog sitting needs!

I was visiting Oregon from out of state and was anxious on finding a dog sitter for Speckles. Claudia was amazing and the best sitter Speckles has ever had. He had an adventure with her and came back very happy. She was responsive, communicated frequently, and sent many pictures and videos to put all my worries at ease. I highly recommend. Thank you so much Claudia! 😊
