Pet Sitting in Potlatch

About: I've been a dog mom for 18 years. My dogs have provided me with companionship, loyalty, joy, structure, and unconditional love over the years. My first dog, Angel, was a Beauceron mix with a blue tongue. She was my best friend, my protector, my shadow. I loved her fiercely. She went over the rainbow bridge three years ago at the age of 14. About a year before she passed, our Kai Ken/Mudi mix, Cody Coyote, joined the family as her companion. This past summer, Corgi pup, Michael, moved in. My son's first official dog. We take regular walks together and they are always making us smile and laugh. I know how special pup companions are and I would love to help you care for yours. Daily walks with my pups are very important for me and for them. I need the movement, and they need to smell. On the weekend, I have more time to walk more pups, check on them, give potty breaks, or feed them. My pups have a fenced in yard and are able to take regular potty breaks every two to four hours. We take walks after I get off work. My pups eat breakfast before I work and eat dinner when my family does. I am available on weekends to give your pup/s potty breaks every two to four hours, up to three walks a day, and feeding in your home.

“Grace and her mom checked on our cats while we were gone for two weeks. Felt very comfortable with them, and they had great communication. Would recommend them and will hopefully be rebooking with them in the future.”

“Chelsea was so great! She sent lots of little updates on how the cats were doing, even though the cats themselves decided to hide every time she came back over. I could tell they had both been really well cared for, and they were happy and right back to themselves when I got home, so I know they weren't stressed about me being gone with her coming by to check on them. Thank you!!”

“Tammie did an amazing job caring for Toby and Prince while we were on vacation. We were sent lots of videos and pictures during the in home visits, directions were followed perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for more!”

About: With over 15 years of extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs, fish, and various other animals—I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after both family and friends' pets, as well as my own, and I fully understand how important your pets are to you. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family. I recognize that leaving your pet behind can be stressful, so I provide consistent updates and photos to ensure you feel confident and reassured while you're away. I have a personal dog, Arya, that accompanies me on all my pet care visits—she’s friendly, gentle, and always excited to meet a new buddy! Your pup will have a built-in playmate and never feel lonely while you're away. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet before to ensure all dogs and humans are a good fit! Additionally, I offer personalized enrichment activities designed to keep your pet mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting both their well-being and comfort. Whether it’s through interactive toys or custom-tailored playtime, I’m here to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for your pet. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can best accommodate your specific requirements. Rest assured, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet’s care is professional, compassionate, and stress-free. Let me provide you with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and energy to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I'm happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks at almost any time of day—just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I understand that every pet and every schedule is unique, and I’m committed to providing personalized, reliable care you can count on. Bend is full of beautiful outdoor spaces that are perfect for dogs to explore and enjoy. I regularly take pups on enriching sniff walks through scenic areas like Drake Park, Pilot Butte, and along the Deschutes River Trail—each offering a variety of sights, smells, and safe walking paths to keep your dog engaged and happy. If your pup enjoys more freedom and social time, I also frequent secure, fenced-in areas such as the Bob Wenger Memorial Off-Leash Area at Pine Nursery Park and the Big Sky Dog Park. These spots are great for off-leash play, running, and making new furry friends in a controlled environment. Whether your dog prefers a calm stroll through the neighborhood, a nature walk, or active play at the park, I’ll tailor each outing to fit their energy level, temperament, and routine. I offer flexible services including: Private or group walks Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) Off-leash park trips (with your permission) Puppy socialization outings Customized enrichment activities Just let me know what suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle best—I'm happy to work around your schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible!

“Very responsive and took good care of my animals”

About: I’ve almost always had a dog and/or cat(s) in my home. I’ve been the primary caregiver for my current dog for over 8 years now. She is a highly anxious dog who has to have pills medication twice daily for years now. So I’m very comfortable with administering pills to dogs. I’m most familiar with anxious dogs and they almost always calm down relatively quickly to my gentle grounded nature. I enjoy seeing how happy a simple walk or hike can give a dog and love to give them many opportunities to do so. I have several years experience with pet/house sitting for neighbors and friends. My discipline style = positive reinforcement and gentle but firm reminders. Redirecting their attention typically works wonders. My schedule is currently open to new clients. Let’s chat and see if what you need aligns with what I have to offer at the current moment. Safety is my first priority so I take instructions from you very seriously. You let me know what the rules and constraints are for your home and fur-baby, I will follow them carefully. Tell me what your fur-baby needs and I’ll make sure it gets done.

“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

My partner loves all animals and we spend a lot of time with all of our animals.
