Cat Sitting La Pine

“Melissa has been great with our cat. He’s always happy when we get home after she stays with him. She understands cat body language, follows instructions, and sends lots of updates and pictures. We definitely recommend her!”

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Secondly, I charge the rates I do as I do this professionally and take my job very seriously. I’m caring for your animals 24 hours a day and provide top rate above and beyond service to your animal. As such, I charge the rates I do as it’s a reflection of the quality of care I provide & allows me to still barely make a livable wage. When you do the hard math, I’m still making less than $20 an hr, it’s the passion not the the $$ driving this train!!!! - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 10 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), 3 year old Basset named Boone (best ‘Bass Hole’ round!), & 11 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs & cat are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.

About: I have always loved taking care of pets. I had a German Shepard/Collie growing up and recently had a blind Boston terrier that recently passed. I can easily adapt to any schedule. I freelance online so my schedule is flexible. I can also travel and stay with your pet if needed. I am open to working with your needs and catering the care to what is in the best interest of your fur baby. Giving you peace of mind is my top priority.

“Leah is wonderful with our fur babies. She is reliable, personable and her updates are amusing! We’ll definitely be using her services again.”

“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.”

“I would recommend Christina to anyone. Her communication is excellent and she is very reliable. My wife and I were in a pinch and Christina went above and beyond to help us. We appreciate Christina very much!!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.

“Sharon has a special way with cats. Our timid cats came right up to her!”

Carrie C.

“Jake is an older dog and as such is slowing down. When Allyson realized that Jake was in pain fetching, which he would do until he dropped, she changed the activity to be a little easier on him. She was in communication with me all the time and handled everything well.”

Kathy W.

“Beatriz was amazing with my shy, older dog. It was clear from the first drop in that she took the time to let my dog acclimate, and by visit 2 they were playing fetch in the yard. Also very professional with communication and punctual. Definitely would recommend!”

Payton S.

“Cassandra was a delight to have stay at our home and care for our kitties. All of our instructions were followed and she left house near and tidy. Daily pictures of kitties were much appreciated.”

About: Twenty-five years of hand on pet experience means I’ve cared for just about every kind of animal personality there is! Shy, wild, senior, high-energy, you name it. I’m kind and attentive, but also quirky and genuinely fun that shows up with real enthusiasm. As a full-time adventurer (hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, overlanding) and proud adventure cat parent, I bring high energy when your pet wants to play and calm, patient attention when they don’t. Your pet gets a sitter who actually gets them. My schedule is built around your pet’s needs! I’m available for evening walks starting at 8pm, three days a week plus 4 free days with fairly open availability! Plus full weekend availability — giving your dog a consistent, reliable routine without sacrificing quality time. With four days off during the week, I stay energized and genuinely excited for every walk, never running on empty. Whether it’s a nightly stroll or weekend adventure, I show up ready. I care for pets exclusively in their own home — their familiar space, their comfort zone. Staying in a pet’s own environment keeps stress and anxiety low, especially for pets who don’t do well with new surroundings or other animals. I respect your home, follow your routines closely, and prioritize keeping your pet calm, safe, and secure in the space they already know and love.

About: I grew up in a loving, multi-pet household that included dogs, cats, ducks, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish—so animal care has always been a big part of my life. I also have hands-on experience caring for chickens. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply spending quality time with animals, I’m comfortable and confident with a wide range of species and personalities. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has unique needs and quirks. I’m currently building my own business as a licensed esthetician and also work part-time, but with summer around the corner, I’m looking for a fun and fulfilling side job—and what better way than spending time with pets! I work 8 hour shifts Wednesday-Friday and then Sunday-Tuesday I may have a couple clients here and there but it wouldn’t be more than a few hours I am gone. In my home, pets are treated like family. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where animals feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they’re happy and relaxed. Trust and respect are at the heart of how I care for every animal—I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a dog of my own that I trained myself, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special needs, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys having a playmate, mine would love to join them for walks or playtime (with your approval, of course!). I’m a flight attendant, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend my time when I’m home. I’m typically home about half of each month, and during those days I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and work around their normal routine. I have experience caring for pets both in my home and in their own, although I generally prefer caring for them in their familiar environment whenever possible. I can administer basic care, crate pets if needed, provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and even trips to the park if that’s something they enjoy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a flight attendant so this is a great job for when I am not flying which is normally about half the month. When I am home I have practically uninterrupted time so I can work around what kind of care you are needing. I am very familiar with watching dogs in their own home and my own but would prefer it be in their own home. I can crate them if needed, walk, play, and or take them to the park if they enjoy that.

About: With 25 years of experience working with animals, including 20 years dedicated to animal welfare, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to caring for your pets. I have extensive experience working with fearful and anxious animals and am certified as a Fear Free Handler. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and birds, and understand that these animals often have very specific routines and care requirements. I’m highly experienced in administering medications, including injectable, oral, ear, and eye medications. You can feel confident knowing that your pet’s routine and medical needs will be handled with the same care and attention you would provide yourself. I also understand that taking care of your home while you’re away can be just as important as caring for your pets. Houseplant care is available, so you can come home to happy, healthy plants along with happy, well-cared-for pets. Most importantly, I know how much your pets mean to you—because my pets are my world, too. Nothing means more to me than giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and in loving hands. I do work full-time for an animal welfare organization, but caring for animals is more than just my job—it’s what I love. Your pets will always be a priority when they’re in my care. I’m able to schedule drop-in visits before and after my workday, as well as on my days off. I’m committed to working with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. The safety and well-being of your pets is always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for an animal in my home or visiting your home, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels so they feel safe and cared for. Caring for animals is something I’m deeply passionate about. I truly love every interaction I have with an animal—even if that interaction is simply sitting nearby and talking to them. I believe those little moments matter. Nothing brings me more joy than being surrounded by animals and having the opportunity to care for them. When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure, while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets. I spent many years going to dog shows and caring for animals including horses, cats, hamsters, doves, turtles, fish, and of course dogs. I currently have three dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal like family and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am currently a stay at home parent with a flexible schedule. My work background is in social services. I’m happy to find what works best for your schedule. I have a fenced yard and we use a crate if necessary at night. Not currently boarding pets in my home but happy to serve pets in your home.

“Carlie did a great job!”

About: I have been pet sitting mostly dogs and cats on Trusted House Sitters website for several years now with over 50 five star reviews. I've taken care of reactive dogs, pets with separation anxiety, large breed dogs, senior pets, kittens/puppies, and animals needing daily medication. I'm comfortable sitting animals with all types of behaviors, special needs and special diets. I'm available and able to give your pets as much attention, exercise, grooming, and love as they need. I'm also happy to send status updates as frequently as you wish. I'm here to give your pets as much normalcy in their day-to-day schedule as I can while you're away. I will comfort them the best i can because i know how taxing it can be on the pets and their loved ones while they're apart.

About: My name Sally, and I have two huskies named Wiley and Disco. I grew up with dogs, cats and exotics and have cared for a wide variety of dogs, cats, sugar gliders, turtles, snakes, birds, rats, and more. I even have experience working with wildlife due to my job! Being a dog owner myself who also loves to travel, I know that one of the most stressful parts of traveling or taking a vacation is knowing that your loved one is in the best hands. I am extremely communicative and am available by text/phone at all times. I'm also happy to send pics/updates. I will take great care of your pet and make sure that he/she is happy and comfortable. Whether it's taking for walks, playing fetch, jogging, cuddling, or even training, I will ensure that you don't have to worry about your pup (and he/she will probably be tired when we're done)! I work from home with a fenced back yard so can make sure that your pet gets all the specialized attention that they need on any schedule. I have a fenced in backyard but make sure to always monitor them when they are back there. My dog is an escape artist so I’m used to making sure that everyone is safe and secure at all times.
