About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, always having pets of my own and caring for them as cherished family members. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they need someone trustworthy to care for their pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight stays, or giving a little extra love to nervous or high-energy animals, I’ve earned their trust through consistency, kindness, and a understanding of animal behavior. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule as my kiddo is in school. I am available during the morning after drop off to late afternoon. I have a fenced in yard for my elder dog Lua. She loves to play fetch and go for walks. I follow direction well and will listen to your needs for your furry family member. Animals are like us. Not all are alike and may need special care. Being a mother of a kiddo and an animal has taught me to be aware of this and how to maneuver challenges.

About: Just moved to Sisters, OR 6 months ago. I grew up on a small farm and had animals everywhere! Newborn puppies to senior dogs were always in my life. We raised Labrador's, horses, cows and pigs and I loved every minute of it. Currently my husband and I have a 7 year black Labrador named Charlie and before him was Ellie, our chocolate Lab. With over 25 years of raising dogs and pet sitting for family and friends I am excited to continue pet sitting in central Oregon. Your fur babies will be well taken care of, lots of love, belly rubs and reassuring time spent while I care for them. I am a fitness instructor/trainer and love to take them on hikes, swims or just sit in a park to watch the sunset. I specialize in extra love for your senior pet as they can require more. Puppies are not a challenge for me as I can match the energy they need. I can't wait to meet your special baby soon! I work part time and can manage most dates to take care of your pup. My schedule stays up to date and will confirm any requests after you contact me. Your pup will be able to roam in our home and our fenced back yard. Our couch is their couch. The more the merrier at bedtime or if they sleep privately in a crate not problem. I live next to several open fields, parks and hiking trails to enjoy

Becoming a professional pilot is my long-term goal, and flight training has taught me the importance of focus, time management, and responsibility—skills I bring into everything I do, including pet care. My schedule is structured but flexible, allowing me to take on dog walking or pet sitting jobs while I continue to pursue my aviation career. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, ensure they get plenty of exercise, and give them lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the space as if it were my own. Communication is key, so I always keep clients updated with messages, photos, or videos for peace of mind.

I’m doing this as a full time job so I can spend quality time with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I also do pet photography so in my profile pictures I have selected a few of my clients favorites.🐶 I have always wanted to work with animals all day everyday!

Your pet should be with someone that is available and can spend quality time with them.🐶 I will treat your home like it was my own!

“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”


About: Over the course of my life, since early childhood, I've had 3 dogs and 4 cats. I mostly took care of training my 3rd dog who I had throughout childhood. In my adulthood, I've spent over a year I volunteered 1-3 times a week at a local animal shelter where I helped socialize the cats and dogs, and took the dogs on walks. At the animal shelter there were 3 different levels of difficulty assigned to each dog, and during my time there I worked my way up to handling & walking level 2 dogs. Additionally, I spent over a year working & living on a ranch, where I cared for horses, cows and bulls, goats, chickens, and a large variety of different bird species including an ostrich. I'm currently a college student that's currently taking a semester off. I'm doing part-time work that I set my own schedule for, so I have time to care for pets! I can work with fairly short notice as well. I'm good to work on any day except for Friday. Currently I'm not boarding any pets at my own home. I am very gentle and understanding with animals, and make sure to respect their boundaries. I'm able to crate dogs if need be, and am willing to give pets as much space as they need.

About: I’ve volunteered with dog rescues for over 15 years, caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m experienced with senior care, administering medications, and training basic commands. Whether it’s high-energy play or gentle walks, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and a whole lot of belly rubs. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I attend school online and have a flexible schedule. I plan my days around walks, feedings, and playtime, ensuring pets always get the attention and care they deserve. Being available most of the day allows me to give our furry friends consistent companionship, love, and maintain a calm environment. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I do all sitting and walks by myself to ensure the safety of your home and your pet. In your home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space free of hazards and stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, and preferred walking routes. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and lots of love, ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I have been caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and ages — including senior dogs with hip issues, incontinence, bowel problems, and mobility challenges. I’m comfortable administering medication and have a strong attention to detail to ensure your pet’s needs are met with care and consistency. I'm reliable, calm under pressure, and confident handling a variety of situations. Before transitioning into pet care, I worked as a wildland firefighter and studied environmental science. That background taught me how to stay adaptable, problem-solve, and show up with dependability — all of which I bring into pet and house sitting. I enjoy hiking, running, and spending time near the water, but I’m just as happy relaxing indoors with a cuddly companion. I’m also able to care for houseplants and keep your home secure and well-maintained while you're away. Whatever your routine looks like, I’m here to follow it closely and treat your space and pets like my own. I’m currently working as a seasonal conservation crew leader in Bend, leading high school students through hands-on environmental projects. This position runs for the next 9 weeks starting June 13th. During that time, I’m available Monday through Thursday in the early mornings and evenings (outside of 8 AM–5 PM), and I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for daytime walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended care. If your pet needs a consistent routine or weekend companionship, I’d love to help! I’m happy to work with your schedule wherever possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, consistent, and respectful environment. I follow your routines closely — whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or bedtime rituals — so your pet feels secure and at ease in your absence. I pay close attention to details and communicate clearly to build trust, and I always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Safety is a top priority. I’m comfortable handling everything from strong, energetic dogs to senior pets with mobility or medical needs. I keep a close eye on gates, doors, and food access, and I adapt quickly if any issues arise. With my background in wildland firefighting, I stay calm under pressure and am confident in managing unexpected situations. Whether your pets need hikes, short walks, medication, or just someone steady and comforting, I bring a thoughtful and reliable presence.

About: I’m eager and excited for all the zoomies and cuddles. I’ll always respect your house rules but I tend to go for a couch cuddle after a long skijoring or hiking adventure.
