Pet Sitting in Metolius

About: I raised a stray German Shepherd/Akita pup from 3 months to 13 years. She taught me many lessons in behavior, training, food restrictions, special food regimines, medicinal application, and specific routines. I also understand giving someone mulitple pages of instructions when leaving my animal in someone's care. I aim to create a connection with the animal and make it as if they are home with their loved ones. I work in the schools on a hybrid schedule so I am out of town one week every month. I am also starting at a new district this year so am still learning what my day to day schedule looks like. Whether it be in my own home with a fenced in backyard or at your house, I will be sure to care for your pet in the way that you desire.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, always having pets of my own and caring for them as cherished family members. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they need someone trustworthy to care for their pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight stays, or giving a little extra love to nervous or high-energy animals, I’ve earned their trust through consistency, kindness, and a understanding of animal behavior. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule as my kiddo is in school. I am available during the morning after drop off to late afternoon. I have a fenced in yard for my elder dog Lua. She loves to play fetch and go for walks. I follow direction well and will listen to your needs for your furry family member. Animals are like us. Not all are alike and may need special care. Being a mother of a kiddo and an animal has taught me to be aware of this and how to maneuver challenges.

“Ally was completely fantastic. Took great care of our anxious, high-energy Blue Heeler while we were in Bend for vacation. Ally was communicative, flexible, and went above-and-beyond, dropping by the pet store to pick up dog food when we ran low and staying late when our plans ran long. I would trust Ally to handle any dog and any situation.”

“Sam is an awesome sitter. She shows up on time and takes good care of our dogs. I know they are both in good hands when Sam visits. We are very happy with our choice of Sam as our dog sitter and the pups are very happy too!”

About: I have worked at stables, vet clinics and volunteered with rescues. I'm a "human" Nurse, but my skill set transfers easily to animals. Care, patience and tons of love. I am capable of administering medications, and skilled at special needs for dogs. I work M-Th 6-4. I am available for overnight stays, primarily on weekends! Overnights on weekdays are for animals that can be home alone during my work hours. I have lots of energy to engage and play! I do need to be able to leave periodically to check on my doggo at my own home and go out to eat, so no separation anxiety pets please. I have an escape artist dog at home. My senses are keen. I am always aware and would be the same for your pet/pets at your home. A watchful eye!

About: Just moved to Sisters, OR 6 months ago. I grew up on a small farm and had animals everywhere! Newborn puppies to senior dogs were always in my life. We raised Labrador's, horses, cows and pigs and I loved every minute of it. Currently my husband and I have a 7 year black Labrador named Charlie and before him was Ellie, our chocolate Lab. With over 25 years of raising dogs and pet sitting for family and friends I am excited to continue pet sitting in central Oregon. Your fur babies will be well taken care of, lots of love, belly rubs and reassuring time spent while I care for them. I am a fitness instructor/trainer and love to take them on hikes, swims or just sit in a park to watch the sunset. I specialize in extra love for your senior pet as they can require more. Puppies are not a challenge for me as I can match the energy they need. I can't wait to meet your special baby soon! I work part time and can manage most dates to take care of your pup. My schedule stays up to date and will confirm any requests after you contact me. Your pup will be able to roam in our home and our fenced back yard. Our couch is their couch. The more the merrier at bedtime or if they sleep privately in a crate not problem. I live next to several open fields, parks and hiking trails to enjoy

“Good with animals!!! Highly recommended to anyone”

“I was so worried leaving Bear for the 1st time, but Janis was very loving and caring. This is also the 1st time I've come home where Bear seems relaxed and calm. With his age going to the kennel is getting too much for him. Janis took really good care of him while I was away.”

About: I have been caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and ages — including senior dogs with hip issues, incontinence, bowel problems, and mobility challenges. I’m comfortable administering medication and have a strong attention to detail to ensure your pet’s needs are met with care and consistency. I'm reliable, calm under pressure, and confident handling a variety of situations. Before transitioning into pet care, I worked as a wildland firefighter and studied environmental science. That background taught me how to stay adaptable, problem-solve, and show up with dependability — all of which I bring into pet and house sitting. I enjoy hiking, running, and spending time near the water, but I’m just as happy relaxing indoors with a cuddly companion. I’m also able to care for houseplants and keep your home secure and well-maintained while you're away. Whatever your routine looks like, I’m here to follow it closely and treat your space and pets like my own. I’m currently working as a seasonal conservation crew leader in Bend, leading high school students through hands-on environmental projects. This position runs for the next 9 weeks starting June 13th. During that time, I’m available Monday through Thursday in the early mornings and evenings (outside of 8 AM–5 PM), and I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for daytime walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended care. If your pet needs a consistent routine or weekend companionship, I’d love to help! I’m happy to work with your schedule wherever possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, consistent, and respectful environment. I follow your routines closely — whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or bedtime rituals — so your pet feels secure and at ease in your absence. I pay close attention to details and communicate clearly to build trust, and I always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Safety is a top priority. I’m comfortable handling everything from strong, energetic dogs to senior pets with mobility or medical needs. I keep a close eye on gates, doors, and food access, and I adapt quickly if any issues arise. With my background in wildland firefighting, I stay calm under pressure and am confident in managing unexpected situations. Whether your pets need hikes, short walks, medication, or just someone steady and comforting, I bring a thoughtful and reliable presence.

“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: I’ve volunteered with dog rescues for over 15 years, caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m experienced with senior care, administering medications, and training basic commands. Whether it’s high-energy play or gentle walks, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and a whole lot of belly rubs. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I attend school online and have a flexible schedule. I plan my days around walks, feedings, and playtime, ensuring pets always get the attention and care they deserve. Being available most of the day allows me to give our furry friends consistent companionship, love, and maintain a calm environment. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I do all sitting and walks by myself to ensure the safety of your home and your pet. In your home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space free of hazards and stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, and preferred walking routes. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and lots of love, ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable.

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!

“Willa loved Esmerelda! We really appreciate her love and attention to our Lil one! We will be calling her again for Her help”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I started fostering dogs a couple years ago for some local rescues. I live in a house with a backyard and I also work from home. I have a Chihuahua mix, hes 30 pounds and his name is Roo. I also have Gus Gus, or Uncle Gus, he’s 35 pounds. He takes every dog I have fostered and teaches them how to play and just be a dog. He is the best! They love playmates! However, if your dog likes to just lay around and not much for playing, They are pretty good at backing off. I love all animals and would love to love on and play with your beloved pup while you are gone. I also frequently have a pup or 2 that I am fostering. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup and give them plenty of love and potty breaks. I have a fenced backyard and also crates available so your fur baby will always be safe. Even if I have to run to the store.
