“Izabel did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our dog and cat. Our dog Oakley was happy to see us when we returned but I could also tell she was well loved while we were gone. Izabel took Oakley on daily runs/walks which Oakley is now reminding us each evening when its time to go on a walk. Izabel provided updates while we were away. Izabel also took care of some indoor and outdoor plants for us and they were all thriving when we returned. Izabel also left our house cleaner than it was when she arrived. We will definitely look to book Isabel to house sit and watch our animals again in the future.”


“This is the second time we’ve had Rikki for house sitting. We will definitely have her back. She’s considerate, sends messages and pictures every day, and makes sure to thoroughly understand the care instructions. The best part is, Louie is relaxed and happy upon our return.”



“Erica was amazing with our puppy. Erica got a tour of the house and yard area then immediately went into puppy play mode. While we were away for just a few hours, Erica made sure to send pictures and let us know how things were going. We've already rebooked Erica for 4 more puppy sits coming up.”


About: I grew up in a household with multiple dogs, cats, birds, and rodents at any given time. I have experience with poultry and livestock as well. I enjoy spending time caring for any breed/age of animal. I am familiar with and comfortable giving medication to pets on schedule. I have experience giving oral meds to canines and felines. I have just recently lost 3 of my furbabies to natural causes of old age, and I currently have 2 Scottish Fold cats. I work a full-time job M-F, currently working 10-hour shifts. I am also available for weekends and overnight work. I would love the opportunity to play a role in caring for your pet. I'm currently working a full-time (10-hour shifts) job, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to allow me to care for your pets. I work in a dog-friendly office, and depending on your dog's personality and behavior with other dogs, they can come to work with me. I don't work weekends and can dedicate that time to your pet. I do not currently offer pet care at my home. However, I will come to your home in the environment that you know and your pet is familiar with. Pets can sometimes get sad when their person leaves for an extended time. I like to ensure stability by sticking to your pet's familiar schedule & routine.

“Anna is amazing! We received so many updates with pictures throughout the days we were gone. When we returned home our house was spotless and our pup was happy and tired! We will definitely be continuing to use Anna for our sittings.”


“Alyssa made sure our dogs, and our home were well cared for. We received updates and photos a couple times a day. She was diligent about keeping our dogs' normal routines. We know they were excited for her to be here by the way they greeted her on arrival. I will be booking Alyssa again soon, so that we can relax and enjoy our time away, knowing our pets are in good hands.”


“Margrit really knows a lot about dogs and took great care of my dog Eddie. He seemed really happy and loved when I saw him again. Margrit was also super flexible with me and I’m super grateful for her last-minute flexibility.”


About: I have always felt a love and connection with animals. It is important to me to listen to an animal and their people, to understand their needs and how they are best comfortable. This ensures the greatest path to success in their safety and happiness. I am very observant and communicative and I believe this really helps with animal care. I have cared for a variety of dogs and cats (dalmatians, kittens, 5 little dogs at once), and of course enjoy life with my family's own kitty, bichon frise/beagle, and chihuahua. :) I love to go walking through nature with animals, exploring the world, or snuggling up at home, so whatever works best for you and your furry friend! Looking forward to a fun and lovely visit~*

“We are very impressed with the care Christine gave the boys. She is very knowledgeable and patient which helped with my senior dog l who is a picky eater and the young pup who is not immediately everyone's best friend. Also, I appreciate how available she was on short notice because life for us is often hard to plan so far in advance. Absolutely planning to use Christine again soon.”


“Tina was a great housesitter for our two dogs. She met with us a few times before the stay to meet the dogs and learn their routine. During the stay she sent us daily pictures updates. She followed their food and medication schedule and made us feel comfortable that our boys were in good hands. The house was very clean when we returned. We would use Tina again.”



“Amy was a caring and fun cat sitter for Cal and Cookie. She played with them and sent pictures and messages while we were away. She also left the home clean and ready for our return. Thanks Amy!”


“Excellent job! She was very responsible and communicative. Our dog and cat were very comfortable with Devon. She asked questions and confirmed details when necessary. She gave us updates with photos of happy pets. She even washed her linens and remade the bed! I would definitely hire Devon again.”


About: Hi, I’m Jon! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and those with special needs. Whether it’s syringe feeding, preparing special meals, or offering extra patience and gentleness, I treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel safe leaving your furry friend with someone you trust. That’s why I bring not just love and enthusiasm, but also calm, reliable care to every walk, visit, or overnight stay. Whether your pup needs a stroll around the block or your cat needs meds and a cozy lap, I’ve got it covered. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch with joy! I am a free lance worker. My work schedule is very fluid, I am able to work online when I am not caring for our 4 legged friends. I stay on a farm, and the dogs here are free range. We have one inside cat and two outside cats. I take the dogs on a walk into the woods every day. Two dogs get fed at night, while the cats are in the morning, and Patrick the smaller dog gets fed at noon.

About: Hi! I’m Madeline, I’m 28 & a lifelong animal lover with a calm, caring nature and a knack for making pets feel safe and loved. With years of experience in customer-focused roles, I understand how important trust and communication are, especially when it comes to your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care is woven into my daily life — I care for my own cat and rabbit every single day, so things like feeding schedules, litter boxes, playtime, and grooming are second nature to me. I build my schedule around making sure my animals feel safe, seen, and loved — whether they’re mine or yours. Fitting your pet into my routine feels like second nature, not a task. My pets are indoor only. My cat does not get along with other cats or dogs so I keep her safe and separate. The way I would keep your pets safe is listening and communicating you and your pets needs. I’ve opted to not board pets because it would not work in my homes dynamic.

About: I am an animal lover and always have been. I grew up with both dogs and cats and love both equally. My schedule is extremely flexible and I don’t mind commuting to take care of your fur baby! I have a lot of compassion for animals and take extra care to give them both physical and emotional attention. I love being outdoors and will make sure that your pup is getting plenty of exercise. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule during the week. I am available in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings for any service you may need. Weekends and Holidays available as well. When caring for your pets while you are away I will first and foremost make sure that they feel comfortable with me. I have excellent attention to detail so I will be able to follow any care instructions including special accommodations for your fur baby. I love spending time with animals, they will be getting plenty of attention to distract them from missing you!

About: I have taken care of pets, cats and dogs for over 25 years with utter joy. I lost my most sweetest dog last year to old age and I’m ready to get my dog fix and walk with them again. I have had 6 dogs in my life and 7 cats. I have lived in Bend for 25+ years and know most of the good trails to take dogs walking on. I like to take 15-60 min walks in nature or in town or neighborhoods with your pup I’m able to walk two dogs at a time. My last dog Maple was an Aussie very athletic and super friendly and lived for 17 yrs, she had a long healthy and happy life. Life is good with a pet!! My schedule is open after 2pm M-Th Fri-Sun open schedule. Routine is great for pets as they rely on you for their needs. I work from home. I am open to sit your dogs at your place or mine. I have a fenced backyard to wander safely and to play catch with.
