About: Im 27 years old and I have a passion for animals that I’ve had my entire life. I’ve recently decided to take my passion and build a career. I love animals and feel that they are apart of our families. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your pet just the way you would you have found the person. I have had large dog breeds my whole life. Ive help run a dog kennel and also have some experience in grooming. I have been to numerous dog training classes and feel very confident in situations that others may not. I let my animals on the furniture and they sleep in bed with me if they wish to. If that’s something you are against we can also accommodate that. I’m also able to pet transport if that’s something you are someone you know may need. I’m an very flexible. I work very close to home and have a set schedule so it’s very easy to plan pet sitting around my work schedule. I believe in gaining trust with animals and making sure they’re as comfortable as possible. I allow my pets on the couch and will never reject a snuggle. I’m very firm with boundaries but go with a gentle approach. Taking my Mini Aussie out on walks and hikes is a perfect activity for your pup(s) to join!

“Kayden came through last minute for us when we needed help over a holiday weekend and was super responsive and flexible! Took great care of our pugs and would absolutely use her again if we are in the area again!!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was very young. I've raised puppies and kittens from birth, tended older dogs who need help getting around, done some high-maintenance medicine routines, intricate feeding schedules, and some significant first aid on animals. (I successfully performed CPR on a chihuahua one time, nursed another chihuahua through a slashed cornea, and have nursed one or two cats with abcesses from fighting through to good health.) I work full-time on a night shift four days out of the week, so I'm definitely a weekend Rover, with anywhere from noon through to 5am being my best available times! (If you need something very specifically between 3am and 5am on a weekday, I suppose I'm technically free during those hours??) I love dogs, and I love getting around Central Oregon, so dog walking is right up my alley! I love finding niche trails and new parks to take dogs to so they always have something new to sniff, and exploring places with your pet only builds my roster of cool dog adventure spots for all my lil fluffy guy friends! Currently trying to hard work myself into buying a house with my future husband 😷. Serving the Redmond/Bend/Sisters/Madras/Prineville areas! I'm very flexible to an animal's needs; my own dog flip-flops with me from being a 9-mile hike kind of dog to a total couch potato to needing crazy play time, so she keeps me up to date on all the dog needs! Whether your dog just needs dinner in his bowl and to stretch his legs in the yard, or a mile long walk, a ball thrown at the park for an hour, or the correct pills in the correct dosage at the correct time, I'm there to make it happen and keep him happy, healthy, and safe! I'm very proactively concerned about what animals come in contact with outside of the home, even for vaccinated animals, and I make sure that places I walk dogs are clean environments, free of broken glass or animal refuse, and as close to nature as I can get them. For a very large or strong dog, I might ask if you'd be ok with me walking them with a head halter to reduce pulling, due to the fact that I love really big dogs, but I myself am not very big! Very good at footwork and grounding though, have successfully walked a straight line with an very distracted American Akita 20lbs heavier than myself in the past. While I do my utmost to keep a perfectly safe environment, things happen sometimes, and when they do, I have personal experience with pet first aid, on a variety of animals. Everything from keeping care of abcesses on cats to setting a kitten's leg, nursing a chihuahua's cat-slashed cornea to a successful heal, doing actual cpr on that chihuahua's brother (they were quite prone to mishap) and ensuring that a distended eye on a terrier-chihuahua mix stayed wetted through to getting him to a proper vet. (The key to first aid is knowing what's worth a $5,000 vet bill, truly.) Monitoring an animal's condition after a surgery or medication change is a huge responsibility that I take very seriously and pay close attention to- your pet is is loving and concerned hands in my care.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra love and patience. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is my gentle, attentive nature and ability to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, administering medication, or providing calm companionship for older pets, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—it’s the best part of my day! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and have spent years around dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. I currently work three days a week as a CNA, which leaves me with extra time to do something that brings me joy—caring for pets! Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the same love and attention they do at home. Reliable, gentle, and communicative, I treat every pet like family. ❤️ When I’m caring for pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn your pet’s routine—feeding times, walks, favorite toys, and any special needs—so everything stays consistent while you’re away. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on any potential hazards, and never leave pets unattended outside. I’m respectful of your home, tidy up after myself (and your pets!), and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pets will feel loved, and your home will be treated with care and respect—just like I’d want for my own. ❤️

“Our kitty was very well taken care of while we were gone for 4 days. We could relax and not worry about her. I looked forward to Jordana’s daily reports plus pictures. We will be requesting her services again!”

About: Hey all! I’ve been working in vet med as a vet tech for about 10 years now. My career and education has given me experience with animals, including special needs animals, special handling, basic first aid, medication (including injections), etc. I also have experience with volunteering at animals shelters, fostering cats and dogs, and my own pets; giving me a wide variety of experience such as training, handling strong and excited dogs on leashes, administering medication, CPR, and much more. I have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and who I take on walks, hikes and jogs and they would love extra company. If your dogs are not so friendly we can discuss the options! Additionally; I offer nail trims, anal gland expressions, and ear cleanings for an additional charge upon request. These are things I do several times a day at work, so I have plenty of experience. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and am out of the house for almost 10 hours those days. I am still about to fit in a dog walk on the days or a drop in visit. I have a fully fenced back yard and two friendly dogs that will be keeping your dog company (if appropriate). I am open to almost any of your special requests as I know how stressful leaving your four legged friend can be!

I am willing to care for the animal in any way needed, from love and play to just a simple drop by and check in. I can handle specific special care needs as needed.

“Kelly and Sam were not only attentive and active with our cats, but also wonderful, thoughtful house sitters. Thankful to come home to a happy and peaceful pack of cats, landscaping and garden of green plants despite 100 degree temperatures all week, and a tidy house. They provided frequent updates, and were incredibly understanding considering high temps and the lack of air conditioning in our house. Would not hesitate to have them care for our cats and home again. Thank you so much, Kelly and Sam!”

“Felicity is a superstar dogsitter! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my puppy and my senior dog alone with someone for that long. She communicated clearly, took very good care of them, and was a pleasure to work with!”

“Christy was such a wonderful caretaker of our kitten! While we felt uncomfortable needing to board a young kitty, Christy was a tremendous relief and comfort while we were away. We received several videos a day, thorough information about how our kitty was doing and even helped us learn some new behaviors and interests our kitty was exhibiting. Sometimes I thought my wife was spending too much time messaging with Christy and not focusing on the trip (lol!), but Christy was more than generous with her time and was very patient throughout. Before our trip, Christy made herself available to meet us and our kitty at the park and it really helped ease our pre-travel anxiety! Once we returned for pickup, Christy packed all of our kitty’s things (which was a ton, sorry, Christy!) and sent her home with some toys that out kitty enjoyed playing with! Would we book Christy again? Already am later next month and you should too! Thank you again for everything, Christy!”

About: Hi I’m Jen! Have cared for cats many times as well as other furry friends and reptiles. Grew up with a variety of pets and am a cat lover- I have been called the cat whisperer as even shy, slow to warm up cats have warmed up to me. And I love dogs too! Ask about my first time special house sit rates or my cat care taking specials! I’m in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. currently though I get out to the east coast regularly too. And will be visiting Europe later this year/next year. I enjoy travel and have lived overseas for a couple years as an English teacher. Open to extended sits. I enjoy learning about the history, art and culture of new places. Let me know if you have flexible dates/are considering a trip and would be glad to work something out with you!

“Carlie did a great job!”

About: I have taken care of, trained, healed, and protected animals my entire life. I am a spiritual ninja on a journey to help heal my world and thrive with authenticity with my 11-year old baby girl with me along the way! We are currently in Bend, Oregon while I get my meal prep company off the ground and enjoying seasons for the first time in our life! I randomly fell into dog walking/house sitting and it seems to be perfectly in alignment with my journey! I have always bonded with animals better than most humans lol so it is mutually beneficial for all parties involved! 🙏🏾🌈🙌🏾 I have open availability! I have my own meal prep company and do a lot of Ubering around town so I can always move my schedule around to be accommodating for my clients! I can travel to just about anywhere in Oregon. Outside of my meal prep company and Uber Eats Deliveries I have open availability and can pop in whenever needed or stay at my clients house while they are away! My dog is also an amazing companion to help with separation anxiety while you are away from you fur babies!

“Jessica has been a fantastic pet sitter. She came everyday to care for my cat, even during a heavy snow storm. She sent multiple pictures of my can that comforted me during my long stay away from home knowing he was doing well. She was very communicative and I had full confidence that my cat was well cared for.”
