“This was the first time we used Rover. We chose Amanda to watch our cat, Moe. I can’t give high enough praise for the service we received. Each time Amanda visited we got an update and photos. It was obvious that she truly bonded with Moe! She took time to groom, pet, and let him sit on her lap- all above and beyond our expectations of feeding and giving him water. Amanda also took care of watering our garden which made our time away worry free. I highly recommend Amanda to lovingly take care of any pet and we will book any future pet sitting with her.”
“I have 4 dogs and one cat. It is such a relief to find someone to care for my pets. We had Ariana drop-in daily to check on our cat when we were away for a week. My cat is usually very shy with strangers and I warned her she may hide the first few visits. But by the daily pictures Ariana texted it was obvious that she warmed up to her immediately. During our pre-care visit, Ariana dropped by our home and met my 4 dogs. She was able to manage their boisterous greeting with the talent of a dog whisperer. As we transition to spending more time in Central Oregon it is reassuring to find someone that can manage the challenges of Nordic breeds and trust we can count on her if we need help with their care.”

About: Hello fellow pet lovers. After years of experience caring for a variety of dogs and cats, I understand how unique each one is. It generally takes a few days to get to know their personality, quirks and preferences and to bond with them. The bonding and earning their trust is something I really enjoy. Some love Belly rubs, some love being chased, some are super independent, and some want lots of cuddle time. They all appreciate vocal communication about what's happening and it seems to speed up the bonding time. I find it helpful to communicate with you about your routines and habits with your animals so I can keep them feeling as calm and cared for as possible while you're away. Please see my Trusted Housesitters profile for more reviews. Just search Bend, Oregon and you will find me under my preferred name Hamsa. My legal name is Trista. My daily routine is taking a morning and/or afternoon hike and I'd love to bring your pup along. I'm also available for drop in visits if your precious one just needs some love and attention. I work part time from home as an evolutionary astrologer. I am quite a homebody although I like to take an outing or 2 each day to go hiking and exploring. Taking care of my own body/mind and staying calm, healthy and centered is a big focus during these wild times. Animals are my angels and medicine as they bring me so much joy and fulfillment. I love this job!

I love getting to know the pups and their personalities so we get along better. I have a dog and cats of my own, and I can bring my dog along for play dates if our dogs get along! If your dog has special needs I have some experience with that.

Pet care is my full time job currently. I am pretty flexible and can work check-ins in when needed. Overnight sitting is also available along with walks. I like to stick as close to your pets normal schedule as possible when I stay in your home. When you are gone that is stressful enough for them so I just want them to feel comfortable and be happy while I am there!

Trista T.
“My cats and I want Trista to come back! She cared for my two sensitive indoor cats from 15 Jun - 24 Jun 2022. Trista was completely reliable, thoughtful, generous, and kind. Her communication was clear. She left the house very, very clean---and even the outdoor plants were well-tended. Trista is someone who values peace and serenity, which was exactly what my cats needed: they got closer to her than they have to almost anyone but me. It helped us that she has her own cute little bus to travel in, so she could arrive the day before my departure, get oriented, and then stay in her bus that night while I was up late, packing. For peace of mind when you're away from home, my household highly recommends Trista.”

“Taking care of chickens and ducks in the winter isn’t fun. Tara showed up and took care of all of them without any issues. My cat seemed happy, too!”
Alexis B.
“I can’t say enough great things about Alexis! She truly goes above and beyond to care for every pup as if they are her own. My dog absolutely adores their walks, always coming home happy and well-exercised. What sets Alexis apart is her attentiveness and ability to administer medications when needed—a huge relief for pet parents like me who have special care requirements. Whether it’s a walk, a day of boarding, or overnight care, I always know my dog is in loving and capable hands. Trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends!””
