Team of pet-loving sitters
Pet care experience
Bend's best 2 for 1 team! We understand how hard it can be to leave behind your furry friends while on vacation, however, Matt and I are here to make the experience as easy as possible. As a team, we work together in order to always be available to love and care for your pets. (This way if one of us has to work, the other can play.) We have both grown up taking care of and training dogs. The four types of dogs Matt and I have successfully trained: labs, German shorthair pointer, Siberian husky, and a German Shepherd. We Love and hold a respect for all dogs (and animals in general.) Animals are one of many things that bring us happiness and we enjoy any moment we can get with them. Currently, we live in a house with our very sweet, friendly white shepherd, Bonobo. Bonobo loves to play and make friends with every animal and person she meets. She is part of our team, we love bringing her along to care for your pets when we can since she helps with exercise and general fun. She's great with little dogs, old dogs, cats and kids. Recently we had to put down our very sweet 16-year-old lab that was the most well-behaved dog we knew. So, any opportunity we can surround ourselves with more dogs fills our hearts with joy. As sitters, we promise to take the job seriously, respecting your home and your animals. We have experience watching multi-pet households. (The most we've watched at one time was 3 dogs and a cat plus our own dog Bonobo.) We also have experience administering injection medication and pills. We are happy to discuss anything about ourselves and background further. We are looking forward to meeting you! Grooming services upon request.
Reviews
Scarlet was happy to keep our dog at short notice. Sent multiple pics and clear communication throughout. Would book again!
Best dog sitters that we’ve had! Our pup can be anxious and timid when meeting new people but she had the best time playing with Bonobo all week and Matt + Scarlet were the best. They kept us updated with photos and videos and left our house extremely clean. Highly recommend, great communicators and they had no problem being patient with our young pup who can be stubborn. They were the perfect tag team and we definitely plan to book them again.
My impression from reading their profile was that at least one of them would be available to be at my house to watch my dogs at any given time, however, on an upcoming booking I learned that both were working all day both days of the stay and would just be checking in on my dogs every few hours. That may be fine for some pet owners, but that was not my understanding of the agreement. When I learned what was actually going to happen I canceled that and another booking I had with them.
They were the best! And Bonobo was the best playmate for my pup!
About Scarlet & Matt D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles. Seeing animals happy makes us happy and so we do our best to keep them entertained and distracted while their family is away. :) We keep the house clean and make sure to stay in consistent communication with the family of the pets to ensure their animals are being cared for.
Information Scarlet & Matt D. would like to know about your pet
Do they get along with other animals and people? Are they an escape artist/do they find ways to run away? What is their favorite outdoor activity?
A typical day
Long hikes/walks to let your dog smell all the smells, playtime at the dog park or with our own friendly dog, cuddles, treats for good behavior, and fetch if they like it. Some of our favorite places to take dogs are the good dog dog park, pine nursery, and anywhere with water.

Availability
As pet owners, animal care is a huge part of our daily routine. A tired pet is a good pet, so we always make sure to have time to get your pet outside and give them lots of love throughout the day. Matt and I balance our work schedules to make sure our own dog as well as the ones we care for are never alone for more than 4 hours. (Perks of being a team)
