House Sitting Powell Butte

“Heather is great! She takes amazing care of our pup, and we came home to a spotless house. Such great peace of mind having her house sit!”

“Janis took excellent care of our two terriers while we were away for a long weekend. She was amazing! She sent photos and kept us updated all weekend long. Our home was very well taken care of. Janis is a wonderful and gentle soul. We could tell immediately she’s a good person by our dogs’ reaction to her. They love Janis! They keep going to the door looking for her. I don’t think they missed us much! THANK YOU JANIS!!”

“This was Kate's first time watching Bodhi and minding our house and it all went very well. Kate handled all the dog care duties easily and on-time, and left our house cleaner than it started. Our dog, Bodhi, is an anxious guy and Kate seemed to have a calming, reassuring influence on him. Just to be clear: Kate stayed at our house overnight during this visit. Our dog needs an overnight human or he flips out.”

“Sarah took great care of our two furry boys. We came home to a clean house and wagging tails! She was great to communicate with and we would definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”

Erin H.

“Kaili did a great job with taking care of our pups and our home. She went above expectations! We will be calling her again next time we need a sitter.”

Janet F.

“Halley was wonderful. She house/dog sit for me and was great with communication -asking needs, preferences, and confirming considerations. I greatly appreciated it. She met Wally, she met me, took a walk through and I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be prompt and available. I would love to have her care take again and use her services 😊 I recommend for others easily”

Jessie B.

“Madison was great! She played with the cats, sent sweet photos, and left the house clean and tidy. She was a great, quick communicator and I appreciated that she came over for a meet and greet in advance of the sit. We'd have her back anytime!”

“Alexandria took very good care of our dog Steve. It was our first time hiring someone to take care of him so I was a little hesitant, but she was so nice and sweet with him during our initial visit and I know Steve was in good care with her. She immediately sent a picture showing Steve snuggling which made me very happy knowing he was in good hands.”

About: Hi! I provide long-term, in-home house and pet sitting across the U.S. for homeowners who want their space handled consistently—not checked on, but actually lived in and maintained. I specialize in 1+ week stays and travel intentionally for sits, so I’m not juggling multiple local clients or rushing in and out. When I’m booked, your home is my focus. I work with residential homes and household pets, chickens, rabbits only (no farms or large animals). I've done my time - hay is not my friend. Services: Long-term, in-home house sitting (2+ weeks minimum, negotiable if you're near the prior site) Overnight pet care (dogs, cats, household pets) Daily routines: feeding, medications, walks, litter Home care: mail, plants, trash, light cleaning, upkeep Full-time presence to maintain a lived-in, secure home This is not drop-in care—this is full coverage while you’re away. Experiance: I grew up on a hobby farm, so responsibility and animal care were part of everyday life early on. Now, I focus specifically on home environments and household pets, not farm or livestock care. My background in running businesses and managing operations means I’m organized, detail-aware, and dependable—especially in environments that require trust and consistency. I adapt quickly to new homes and follow established routines closely. Why should I hire you? Because I’m built for this type of arrangement. I travel specifically for longer sits—your home isn rarely one of several stops I don’t need supervision or micromanaging I communicate clearly and consistently - there might even be some pet pictures in your phone :) I handle issues calmly and practically You’re not coordinating with a sitter—you’re handing off your home to someone who can run it. Any special qualifications or training? Strong independent decision-making Comfortable managing homes solo for extended periods High attention to detail and respect for personal spaces Calm, steady, and reliable I’m also comfortable learning specific pet routines, medications, or household preferences. What’s your availability? North America availability Minimum stay: 2 weeks Open to extended and repeat sits Travel-ready and flexible with advance notice Once booked, I commit fully to that stay. Personality / Fit I’m calm, observant, and self-sufficient. Not high-drama, not flaky. Best fit: Homeowners traveling for extended periods People who want consistency without micromanaging I also work with executives who are in and out and need a temporary house guest (under 6 months) Not a fit: Less than 10 days Farms, livestock, or horse care (this can possibly be vaived with a conversation - I am very familar with animals) Your home stays in order, and your pets get real attention—not just care. I provide steady, full-time presence in your home. As a digital nomad, I work remotely, which means your pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and their routines stay consistent. I’m not rotating between clients or dropping in—I’m there, living in the space and keeping things running normally. I grew up around a wide mix of animals, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Some pets want constant attention, some want space, and some need structure—I meet them where they are and follow your routines closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walking dogs and getting animals outside is a natural part of the day, as long as that aligns with what they’re used to. It’s not forced—it’s just part of how I operate. You can expect a calm, low-drama environment. I tend to be observant and consistent, which animals respond well to. I’ll keep communication clear and reasonable—updates and photos as agreed—without overwhelming you while you’re away. Your home will be respected and maintained. I keep things clean, organized, and handled like they matter. And beyond all of that, I genuinely enjoy animals. This is how I get my “pet fix” while traveling, so I’m not just checking boxes—I actually like spending time with your pets. Your pets are the priority while you’re away. I keep a close, consistent eye on them and pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated. I maintain a calm, predictable environment and follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep things stable. I’m comfortable handling medications and will administer them exactly as instructed, whether that’s daily dosing, timed schedules, or more specific routines. If something feels off, I act quickly and communicate clearly—using your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and instructions. It's also important for you to know that I grew up in a rural (farm) envirnment. and other animals are on the table - currently watching a home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goats and 9 chickens. Haying and watering are fine, but I don't feel capable of cow milking, horse riding, etc. You can expect a steady, attentive presence focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time you’re gone.

“Amber did a great job with our terrier mix Molly. She's not the easiest dog to make friends with but Amber made it happen. She is a great communicator and was flexible and easy to work with on days, times etc. She showed up right on time for both our introductory meeting and also for our departure. We will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from my own pets to helping neighbors with theirs. Every pet is treated like family, and their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ve recently discovered a passion for dog grooming and am happy to offer basic grooming services, including bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, deshedding, and nail trims for dogs that are comfortable with them. My goal is to help your pet look and feel their best while making grooming a calm and positive experience. I’m also working with an experienced dog trainer to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior, handling, and training techniques. In addition, I’m currently pursuing certifications in pet first aid, CPR, and professional pet care so I can provide the highest level of care and peace of mind for every family I serve. Dog Walking: My dog-walking service is a special opportunity for my 16-year-old son, who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury and working hard to earn his own spending money. He has grown up around animals and genuinely loves spending time with dogs. All walks are supervised and coordinated through me, and if you prefer that I personally handle every walk, I’m always happy to do so. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, grooming, or loving care while you’re away, they’ll be treated with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own pets. Pet care has become one of my greatest passions. My primary focus is now caring for my family, completing my dual bachelor’s degrees, and providing loving, dependable care for pets. My husband works from home, so one or both of us are almost always here to provide companionship and supervision. We also have two teenagers who absolutely adore animals and love giving our furry guests extra attention, playtime, and affection. Our home is filled with love, and we understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet enjoys adventure, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet spot, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced side yard with a doggy door, allowing dogs that are comfortable using it easy access for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time throughout the day. If your dog has a different routine, I’m happy to follow your preferences. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime with me, my family, and our friendly dogs (if appropriate). We also provide two enjoyable walks each day, along with lots of affection, enrichment, and attention. Of course, treats are always given according to your instructions, dietary preferences, and any allergies or restrictions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve lived with and absolutely loved dogs my entire life! :) I have taken care of dogs for my friends and family and I am looking to expand, adore, and care for more pets with Rover. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each pup happy and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and create some new four-legged friendships along the way! 🐾❤️ I work a part-time job on weekend mornings, so I’m available throughout the weekdays for pet walking, pet sitting, and giving your furry friends plenty of love and attention! I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care they deserve. 🐾 I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your own home, where your pets can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you have to keep their routines as consistent as possible.

About: Love every kind of animal! You kind of have to when you are a personal CNA, being in people’s homes who require medical care I’ve seen all manners of pets and environments even exotic pets. That being said I love to give attention to animals and learn their personality’s, and am willing to go through the bumps and flats of taking care of animals! Working part time, always looking for more hours, my job is flexible and I can do weekdays and board weekends as needed. If it’s something specific it can always be worked out! I often would like to get to know the owners style of care, how they’d like me to care for there pets and also the environment they’d like me to create. Everyone has a different need than others! And every pet is different.

Have a calm and happy demeanor 💙 Have Thursdays through Sundays available to host your four-legged pal at my home, conveniently located parkside in the north side of town! Am also available Thursday-Sunday to spend time with your feline friend or simply take your doggo for a walk 💛 Have a lovely fenced in yard with grass for pups to play and park nearby. My pup will be at home while I am boarding yours and is happy to socialize.

About: I have caring for dogs since I was a kid. From my families dog to my neighbors, friends and other family members dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own!

About: Hi there! I grew up with numerous kinds of dogs and cats. Currently, I have a dog named Maggie and she is 5 years old. She is a lab mix and she loves playing with other dogs. I’m a very responsible pet owner, and I love taking care of Maggie. My family and I have always enjoyed being around and owning animals and I am extremely comfortable with dogs, cats, and house-sitting. Over the years I have been a trusted house sitter with various dogs/cats and I will love your dog or cat like my own and take very good care of them. I will be more than happy to text you pictures and updates during their stay! I work full time, 8:00am-5:00pm. I am able to work a hybrid schedule and I can stay home different days throughout the week. I walk Maggie twice a day, so you can expect your dog to be walked as well while I have them! :) Though I live in an apartment, I live right next to Dry Canyon Trail. I take Maggie on a morning and evening walk, so you can expect your dog to get daily exercise. I also own a XL dog crate, so if you would prefer your dog to be crated during the day, I can use that and you won't have to bring one. My dog Maggie loves other dogs so your fur baby will have plenty of company while I take care of them. I am also happy to house sit for you if you are comfortable with me bringing Maggie with me!

About: I was born on a ranch in Colorado and have been caring for animals since before I can remember. My first jobs were pet sitting neighbors dogs and cats and taking care of other animals, as well as my own puppies and kittens. Not only that but it’s always been a responsibility and a priority, not just a fun time. I put the welfare and happiness of the pets I care for above all else and enjoy giving them the love they deserve while you’re away! I’m currently working online so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available nights, weekends, and Thanksgiving. I’m busy on Thursday nights 6-8 pm but can work around that to keep your pets happy and healthy. Remote worker— your pets are my priority. Active walker, hiker, and reader: would love to get out and exercise or snuggle with your furry friends.

“Sharon did an amazing job with my older dog and slightly crazy cat! They both got the love they needed, were happy and healthy after a 10 day trip, and the house was clean and perfect to come home to.”

About: I've been taking care of animals all my life. I booked my first official pet sit at twelve and never turned back. Looking after animals and homes all over the States and across other continents for the past 12+ years. I've taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly animals, administered medications, helped deliver babies, cleaned coups and mucked stalls. Done multi-week sits, given the required(necessary) snuggles and always, ALWAYS, try and send photos of your animals to you (you might be on a trip, but you want to know what they get up to too). Just returning from commercial salmon fishing in Alaska, I have the flexibility to care for your animals on your schedule. I'm new to Bend, so my current free time is often spent connecting with the community, visiting farmers’ markets, enjoying all the different types of water I can find and exploring the area. I flip back and forth between being a homebody and loving the outdoors, so I find that the variety of needs involved in pet and home care fits that balance perfectly. I know that trusting someone with your home and animals is a big deal and can be scary. I pride myself on being respectful of your space and your pets’ routines, and I’m happy to meet each animal where they’re at, whether they’re social and playful or prefer a little more solitude. My goal is to keep your home feeling familiar and cared for, and your pets feeling comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“Joy was a great option for our young, high energy dog.”
