During each visit I handle potty breaks, a relaxed walk or light play (as appropriate), fresh water, and a quick tidy of food and leash areas, so your pup feels cared for and your home stays in order. You’ll receive timely replies and clear updates and photos every visit. I follow your instructions closely and I always prioritize safety with secure leashing, door/gate checks, and weather-aware walk times. Services include daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting/overnights. I’m a great fit for dogs who benefit from a gentle, consistent approach. If you’d like, we can schedule a quick meet-and-greet so I can learn your dog’s cues and comforts. My goal is simple: stress-free care for your pet and total peace of mind for you. Please note that I am only able to do drop-in visits in Redmond. For housesitting, I am willing to travel most places in central oregon for stays more than 2 nights. My schedule is extremely flexible right now, So I am often able to work around whatever your needs are depending on how many other bookings I have at that time. you’ll receive timely replies and clear updates and photos every visit.

About: I’m a very active and patient person. I love dogs and understand their need to get their energy out all while receiving lots of love. I can go to dog parks, on hikes or regular walks. We can stay in and hang if that’s all they can do. I’ve been watching dogs for over 20 years and have three of my own! I carry pet first aid kits with me along with plenty of water. I have extra supplies as well including blankets, leashes, collars and food bowls. I’m currently a stay at home dog/cat/rabbit mom so I have plenty of time to hang with your furry loved ones! My schedule is very flexible. I am very careful with entering and leaving homes. I know some animals can be very excited and quick! Knowledgeable of different leashes/harnesses. My own backyard is fenced in.

About: Hi I’m Dafne! I’m originally from Seattle and new to the Bend area. I’ve been dog sitting/walking for about 15 years now. Working with dogs, cats, etc. has always been my ideal side gig, and I hope to turn it into a full time career one day. With your permission I take your pet(s) on outings to local parks, lakes, and trail systems. Having pets of my own and having had personal experience with a dog with aggression issues, I’ve learned how to get on “their level” so to speak. I have experience in dog/house sitting multiple pets, for weeks at a time. I have experience walking 4+ dogs at a time. References are available upon request, please don't hesitate to ask about anything! I currently WFH part time, which means I have fairly open availability to walk and or care for your pet(s). Walks with me are 45-60 minutes, and I am also available for daily check ins. At this time I am NOT offering boarding services in my own home. However, I am able to transport your pet for walks or even rides to where they need to be.

About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.

About: WE LOVE PET's; Even YOUR's! I'd love to hear...What would YOU (& your pet) like MOST from a Visit or our Service? What extra services would be most appreciated? Of coarse LOVE & FUN is essential, but what are some things you'd like to have taken care of while they are with us? Dog boarding & House sitting are both on a per night/24hr basis. Ex: If you need a 8am drop off time Then pick up would be at 8am the final or following day; If more time is needed then a daycare fee would incur. We will do pick up & delivery of your precious pets for $1. per mile too. Our clients have enjoyed Animal care, even insulin shots for aged diabetic pets; having served 50+ years, I enjoy caring for children, horses, cows, cats, chickens, goats, hampsters, Ferret's, fish, fowl, and canine of all kinds. We are retired, raised 3 daughters, all pet lovers... even an Animal Rescue enthusiast. We live on an acre of fenced yard/pasture. I was raised on a small farm, with a whole host of animals... each fulfilling the measure of their creation. From Babies to Birds; we're open to the JOY these cute cuddly creature's can bring into our world. I have cared for, played with and been friends with many pets. From walking & hiking with them to cleaning up their poop, barf, cuts and scrapes, removing ticks and burrs, and even given shots for diabetes. We have cuddled with and loved many pets. We will treat your pets and your home as if they were our own. In fact, when one of us stays overnight, I leave your home clean and tidy, I might even organize the frig & pantry (as a thank you for allowing me to stay in your home, care for your pets, and nosh on your items). If your home is out of town, ie, Juniper Canyon, Powell Butte, or Ococho West; please add on $5.00 for gas per day.

“Savanah was fantastic. Another walker cancelled at the last minute and she came through with complete professionalism. I would recommend Savanah to anyone.”

“I had Dee stop in and take my pup for several walks while I was out of town. She was easy to schedule and communicate with, was always on time, and kept my dog exercised and relaxed. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have been raised taking care of all sorts of animals and critters. I total my 8 years of experience based on the cats I have raised, just in my adult life. They are happy and very well taken care of, just as I have been taught in my youth. I just hope to provide the same care I give my own, to yours. I am typically free all day Wednesday through Friday and every other Saturday. During my work week, I usually get two short breaks throughout the day. My cats were raised in my home since birth. They are litter trained and have a balanced diet appropriate for each. I care for other pets the way I am asked to by the pet parent.

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.

“Christina is AMAZING”

“It was nice to meet Lauryn for dog walking and hopefully overnight dog sitting soon. She was patient with my dog who was not too cooperative at first and had good communication to let me know what was going on. I have booked her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Dinah! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past five years, my bond with my two dogs, Polly and Moose, has grown especially strong. Polly is an Akbash/Anatolian Shepherd, and Moose is an Aussiedoodle. We love going on daily adventures together and typically get out for 3–4 walks a day. They’re both friendly, easygoing, and happy to meet and play with other dogs, as long as your pup is comfortable with that. I’ve worked in healthcare for nine years and currently work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m excited to extend my passion for animals by helping care for yours: whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away or bringing your dog along on our fun, active outings. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same attention and affection I give my own! I currently work part-time as a registered nurse so I have lots of time on my hands, including weekdays and weekends, to watch and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and multiple parks around my neighborhood to take your pups on adventures. My two dogs are friendly and always excited to have a friend visit. I ensure your dogs are cared for just as I care for my fur babies!

“I love knowing Sherry is coming over to walk my dog Frank. She always checking in and takes lots of pictures. Frank is always relaxed and happy when I get home.”

Ann M.

“First off I want to say I don’t think I’ll ever find someone as dedicated to loving dogs as much as Riley! On the shortest notice I’ve ever done she was quick to jump up and walk Jack and make sure he was getting the fresh air and playtime he needed! Not only was she able to walk my boy on such short notice but made sure he had fresh water and a treat to go with it! She communicated with me through their walk and sent me plenty of pictures showing that he definitely had the best morning walk he’s had in a while! 10/10 me and Jack will be back!”

Ryan G.

“Quyanna does an excellent job, Suka gets a lot of exercise during his time with her.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for over 10 years now. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own who I love very much. I’m a runner so walking dogs and playing with them is a fun form of supplemental income and cardio. I work from home which allows me some flexibility to be off at times when most people are working, making dog walking and drop in care a great option for me. I try to follow the pets normal routine as closely as possible in order to maintain a sense of normalcy for the animal and owner as well.

About: I am a dog mom and I absolutely love animals! I have taken care of friends/families pets for over 10 Years. My pup is a 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix pup Bella Bean! She is great with other animals and people and truly loves everyone. We love to frequent the local dog park and go on walks and would be happy to bring your pup along during their stays! We overall love to spoil our dog and she is always looking for a playmate! I am currently unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays due to childcare issues. I am available most other days and times for walks and drop in visits I have the most loving fur baby to keep your dog company! She loves other dogs and is very sweet and submissive and our house is already pup proof so that’s a plus!
