Pet Sitting Hoodsport

About: I've been a dog mom for 18 years. My dogs have provided me with companionship, loyalty, joy, structure, and unconditional love over the years. My first dog, Angel, was a Beauceron mix with a blue tongue. She was my best friend, my protector, my shadow. I loved her fiercely. She went over the rainbow bridge three years ago at the age of 14. About a year before she passed, our Kai Ken/Mudi mix, Cody Coyote, joined the family as her companion. This past summer, Corgi pup, Michael, moved in. My son's first official dog. We take regular walks together and they are always making us smile and laugh. I know how special pup companions are and I would love to help you care for yours. Daily walks with my pups are very important for me and for them. I need the movement, and they need to smell. On the weekend, I have more time to walk more pups, check on them, give potty breaks, or feed them. My pups have a fenced in yard and are able to take regular potty breaks every two to four hours. We take walks after I get off work. My pups eat breakfast before I work and eat dinner when my family does. I am available on weekends to give your pup/s potty breaks every two to four hours, up to three walks a day, and feeding in your home.

“Grace and her mom checked on our cats while we were gone for two weeks. Felt very comfortable with them, and they had great communication. Would recommend them and will hopefully be rebooking with them in the future.”

About: With over 15 years of extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs, fish, and various other animals—I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after both family and friends' pets, as well as my own, and I fully understand how important your pets are to you. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family. I recognize that leaving your pet behind can be stressful, so I provide consistent updates and photos to ensure you feel confident and reassured while you're away. I have a personal dog, Arya, that accompanies me on all my pet care visits—she’s friendly, gentle, and always excited to meet a new buddy! Your pup will have a built-in playmate and never feel lonely while you're away. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet before to ensure all dogs and humans are a good fit! Additionally, I offer personalized enrichment activities designed to keep your pet mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting both their well-being and comfort. Whether it’s through interactive toys or custom-tailored playtime, I’m here to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for your pet. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can best accommodate your specific requirements. Rest assured, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet’s care is professional, compassionate, and stress-free. Let me provide you with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and energy to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I'm happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks at almost any time of day—just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I understand that every pet and every schedule is unique, and I’m committed to providing personalized, reliable care you can count on. Bend is full of beautiful outdoor spaces that are perfect for dogs to explore and enjoy. I regularly take pups on enriching sniff walks through scenic areas like Drake Park, Pilot Butte, and along the Deschutes River Trail—each offering a variety of sights, smells, and safe walking paths to keep your dog engaged and happy. If your pup enjoys more freedom and social time, I also frequent secure, fenced-in areas such as the Bob Wenger Memorial Off-Leash Area at Pine Nursery Park and the Big Sky Dog Park. These spots are great for off-leash play, running, and making new furry friends in a controlled environment. Whether your dog prefers a calm stroll through the neighborhood, a nature walk, or active play at the park, I’ll tailor each outing to fit their energy level, temperament, and routine. I offer flexible services including: Private or group walks Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) Off-leash park trips (with your permission) Puppy socialization outings Customized enrichment activities Just let me know what suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle best—I'm happy to work around your schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible!

“Tammie is awesome! I hired her to do drop-in visits for my cat Lindy while I was out of town. She was really communicative with me throughout my whole trip, even sending me daily photos and videos so I could see first hand how Lindy was doing. I felt like Lindy was being well taken care of each visit which I so appreciate.”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

“Very responsive and took good care of my animals”

“Branden took excellent care of our senior dog and our two cats. Our dog is not often left behind, so we were concerned about how she'd do now that she's older, but Branden had her relaxed and happy, and she did great. The cats always do great with him - lots of fun, lots of great photos. Thank you Branden!”

Karen E.

“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: My goal is to provide the best dog sitting service in Mason Country. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding, or talking to them, as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. I own my own pet sitting business and I'm going through here to get started in a new area for new clients. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving care and the details of dogs! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one dog owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my dogs as well as I do after a few short days.”… The most important goals for me are providing a consistently high quality of pet care service and developing lasting relationships with Mason County pet owners. Here are just a few of the ways that I can make a quality difference in your pets’ (and your) lives: Details I’m a detail-oriented business person who knows how important it is to follow through, in a meticulous way, the instructions you give me for the daily care of your dogs as well as your home. When I mull over situations with your pets and think about how important your home is to you, I always ask myself: “What would they do if they were here? How would they want me to proceed”? If there is any question in my mind, I contact you before taking action. I document all my actions for you, in my daily text or email, so that you don’t have to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pets and your home have received while you’re gone. As one client put it: “My goal in going with a professional pet sitter was…wanting the best for our two dogs while we were away. Carrie left it “camps without a trace,” returning the house to you as you left it. To list all the tasks she does to keep things ticking while we’re gone is more work than I want, so let’s just say, hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of “getting away.” High Standard I maintain Open Communication at all times. Great communication is the key to all successful relationships. I always email clients a confirmation of their pet sitting arrival and departure dates/times, so there are no missed appointments or misunderstandings. I also write detailed daily email/text describing your pets’ activities and behaviors, including any changes I notice in their eating or sleeping or other routines – in addition to all their fun and funny ‘adventures’ when you’re gone! The level of communication I provide you, before you go and while you’re away, is an important part of my pet sitting service, demonstrating the observation skills and the focus I bring as caregiver for your pets and home! It's my main career to take care of your pets on a daily basis. So I have all the time in the world to spend time with them. I will be caring for your pet (s) in their own home where they are more comfortable than being in a boarding place. Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you soon

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for animals for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, bathing, and providing daily care. I’m comfortable handling energetic or shy personalities. I’ve also cared for disabled dogs, which taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets that need extra support. I always focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in any environment. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.

“Madisyn is doing a great job of getting to know my reactive dog Roo and taking care of her when I'm away. She's been awesome at going at our speed and we just had a successful drop-in, where she was very communicative and left thorough care notes, which I really appreciate. Would definitely use her services again.”

Elizabeth H.

“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age, and I have been a professional sitter and boarder for a little over 3 years now. I recently moved to the area and am looking to rebuild my clientele. I am an animal advocate who has spent a lot of time volunteering with different agencies to help find forever homes for abandoned fur babies, and working for programs that went out and helped the homeless get the right care for their pets. I have experience with hyper pets, shy pets, large and small. I love them all the same. Let me spoil your babies while you’re away, and take comfort in knowing that they are safe and loved with me. I am currently an online student and doing a part time work from home job, so I will be home and available for them all day besides appointments or errands I have a large fenced yard that I make sure to walk the perimeter of to make sure there are no escape points. I also have a huge deck for them to lounge on and they have free roam of my home. I do have a toddler in the home, she is very shy with animals and has grown up learning the importance of being gentle and nonintrusive with them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I love walking, washing and caring for animals more than ever. It warms my heart to see them loved and happy. I am currently working a full time position but it is not an everyday job so I am hoping to fit some time in to do something I love well making some extra money on the side! With a place in my heart for animals comes with being alert to everyone and everything around when taking care of animals and pets. When walking animals I make sure to stay away from other pets or people if your pet is not comfortable with being around others. When grooming I make sure to be gentle and patient with the pet/pets. When staying in the home I make sure that they are well loved and get the attention and care they need.

“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”
