Pet care experience

Bend in-house availability!

In my personal life, I’m an active foster for several local rescue organizations—giving me firsthand experience managing dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and training levels. Over the years, I’ve supported everything from high-energy puppies to seniors needing meds and mobility help. At home, my partner and I care for our two dogs: a 16-year-old Corgi and a sharp, independent Australian Cattle Dog. Sitting through Rover gives me the chance to keep my training and dog-savvy skills sharp, meet new dogs one-on-one, and help neighbors in the Bend community travel or manage life events knowing their pets are in experienced hands. What I Offer - In-home pet sitting in a calm, pet-focused environment - Experience with senior care, crate routines, medication, and training basics - Holiday availability + flexible scheduling - Open to trial stays ahead of longer bookings

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely, whether related to feeding, crate use, medication, or training cues, and I maintain secure indoor and outdoor areas to ensure your dog’s safety at all times. Because I foster dogs regularly through rescue organizations, I’m experienced in safely introducing new pets to a "new normal" in the home and care giver situation, watching for signs of stress, and calming behavior without escalating situations. I also provide regular updates and am always reachable during a sit, so you can feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for while you're away.

Christoper was great. He arrived on time. Moses was very comfortable with him. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup while we were gone!

Christopher did a great job watching Riley. He was attentive to her needs and gave her all the love and affection she needed by the looks of the sweet photos I received. Would definitely recommend him to anyone without a second thought. He shows care and concern as if caring for his own and was respectful of the house and home. I will be a repeat!

Schedule

Pet care is built into my daily routine, thanks to a flexible work schedule that includes occasionally work-from-home days and control over my hours. This lets me accommodate frequent walks, potty breaks, medication schedules, and whatever daily rhythm your dog is used to. I’ve worked closely with our heeler from adoption through advanced agility training, and I manage the full-time care of our senior corgi—including everything from structured supplement routines to unpredictable middle-of-the-night needs. I’m used to adjusting my day around the dogs in my care to keep things consistent, calm, and comfortable for them.

I’d love to hear about your dog’s typical daily routine, what they’re used to, and any specific needs or behaviors you'd like me to support. If you’re working on reinforcing certain training goals—or trying to curb particular habits—please let me know so I can stay consistent with your approach while you're away. A quick note on training: I use and strongly prefer positive reinforcement methods. If you're using tools like e-collars or prong collars, I'm happy to discuss your approach, but I ask that you share those details in advance so we can determine if it’s a good fit.
