House 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!”

“Leah housesat our 2 dogs over holiday break and was a real trooper with a bunch of sloppy weather conditions to make sure that our pups got out for two walks a day, since they need regular exercise. We got great updates while we were gone and came home to two happy pups.”

Keith B.

“Chris stayed at our house watching our three large dogs while we were in Thailand. Chris bonded with our pups almost immediately. Took them on walks 2x per day. He sent regular daily updates, photos and videos. We plan on using again in the future.”

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.

“Joy was a great option for our young, high energy dog.”

“Sherry was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing our dogs happy and relaxed made it much easier to be gone. Our home was well cared for, and the dogs were clearly comfortable and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend Sherry to others and would be happy to book with her again in the future.”

“Janis was a true life saver. She not only worked me into her schedule at the last minute, but she took amazing care of my dog and my house. I am so thankful to have found her!”

Jill P.

“Caitlin took such great care of our little Leo! She is an excellent communicator and provided updates on how Leo was doing during her stay. She also took great care of our home. We look forward to having Caitlin back to take care of Leo again!”

Elizabeth S.

“Alexandria took very good care of our dog Steve. It was our first time hiring someone to take care of him so I was a little hesitant, but she was so nice and sweet with him during our initial visit and I know Steve was in good care with her. She immediately sent a picture showing Steve snuggling which made me very happy knowing he was in good hands.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and patient, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your dogs or cats in your home anytime you need.

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.

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

“Madison stayed overnight and watched our dog Panda and cat Comet. She did a fabulous job! Great communicator and sent photos to let us know how things were going. Our pets were clearly well-loved and in good hands. I would definitely hire Madison again to take care of our fur-babies.”

About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds and ages. As a licensed pharmacist, I have extensive experience safely administering medications — both to pets and humans — and I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your furry family members get exactly the care they need. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wonderful German Shepherd and two rescue cats. Though my current housing situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own right now, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with other people’s pets. I especially love active dogs — bonus points if yours is a frisbee enthusiast! You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care in a calm and structured environment while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide lots of attentive, one-on-one time with your pets throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, runs, or trips to the park, so I’m a great match for energetic dogs or playful cats. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best if you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits if your booking falls on my parenting time (please ask if it’s an issue). I’ve been trusted by many clients — including friends and strangers alike — to care for their beloved pets and homes. I provide daily updates and photos throughout each booking so you can stay connected and feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“Caroline was an amazing sitter for our lab. She was great with her and sent us daily updates with photos. She took our dog on walks and hikes and made sure she got plenty of exercise while we were away. Our house was super clean when we got home and we had a happy pup waiting for us. Highly reccomend Caroline!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover! Sometimes I'll admit I prefer them over people! Growing up with dogs and now being a proud parent to two pitties of my own, caring for pups is truly second nature to me. I genuinely love meeting new dogs and being there for their owners whenever they need it. I have plenty of experience with house sitting and dog walking, and I'm especially comfortable handling large, strong breeds. Your dog will get the same attentive, loving care I give my own, so don't be surprised if I seem a little obsessed! I'm flexible on rates and always happy to chat about what works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to help! Caring for dogs is already a core part of my everyday life. My mornings and evenings are built around my two pitties. Walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Adding another dog to the mix comes naturally, and I make sure every pup in my care gets that same structure and attention. When I'm staying in your home, my goal is to keep your dog's world feeling completely normal. I follow your feeding schedule, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they're getting walks, attention, and affection throughout the day. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect — you'll come back to a happy dog and a tidy house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, sitting for family members, neighbors, clients and roommates pets. Dogs of all ages, and I genuinely love being around them. As of right now, I am currently waiting to be called out on fire assignment, so I’ll have all the time to play with your pups, and keep them happy. I treat every dog like my own — consistent routines, secure surroundings, and real attention to body language so your pup always feels safe and comfortable.
