“Raenell did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She stayed in communication prior to the stay to prepare and remained in communication while we were away. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to accommodate the extension. We are very grateful to know our pup is in good hands.. .”

“Emily took great care of our two dogs while we were away for the day. She sent photos and updates, took them for a nice walk, and spent time playing with them. They had a great day!”

“Tay's stay with our two pups went beautifully. Happy dogs and happy us. So glad she could help us for an afternoon while we headed out for an extended adventure while we were visiting Bend.”

“Malia was great! Despite some early communication issues, she did a wonderful job and our dogs loved her. She went above and beyond in stripping the bed and washing towels before she left, and left the house in a much better state than she found it. We would definitely book with Malia again.”


“Sierra was wonderful!! Our dog Percy is very demanding of attention, and Sierra met his needs superbly! She kept us informed the whole time we were gone, and I felt completely comfortable that Percy was in good hands. I would hire her again in an instant!!!”

The kits seemed to warm to her quickly and pictures sent while I was away were very reassuring. I believe they got the attention they enjoy 🤗.”

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. I’m well seasoned with dogs and cats of all ages, as well as temperaments. I have experience in training pups, taking extra special care of older dogs and cats, and I’m also comfortable giving medical attention and have experience with it. Currently I’m working part time; 5 hours on Saturday and on Sunday. I also attend school online leaving me with lots of free time to hangout with your pup or cat! I give your pet lots of care and attention while keeping your home tidy; making sure to stick to their routines so that your pet is able to stay comfortable when you’re away. I make sure they are fed accordingly, have fresh water, and get all the exercise and play time they need! I also handle basic care like cleaning litter boxes, picking up after dogs, and giving medications if required.

“We are so grateful to have met Skye Ann! Our dogs were so happy to see her which was so nice - you know when they truly like someone! She was so communicative and responsive, which is reassuring when we went on an across country trip. Everything was great when we got home, and that’s especially nice when you come back tired! We highly recommend Skye and hope she will be able to stay with our girls again! We loved seeing updates while so far away - thank you!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life ranging from my 10 pound puggle to my 108 pound malamute! I have had quite a few dogs growing up and currently house sit/dog sit for family friends. I currently have my cat Mochi of whom I adore! I am just moving to the area so my schedule at the moment is going to be completely open until I start work in Hood River. I make sure that the animals themselves are having a good time and the space that we use looks the same or nicer than when we got there! I love building memories with the animals that will keep them in good spirits until their parents get home

Dogs and cats have always been present in my family. On M/W/F, at 8AM-2:30PM, I attend massage school in Portland. On the days I go to school, I do have periods of time, early morning and early evening, to check on your fur babies. Aside from that, my free days, Tue/Thur/Sat/Sun, are fully open for whatever frequency is needed to check on your animals. I have a fenced yard with two dogs that are social. Occasionally there is a cat present. I’m fully comfortable taking your dogs on walks, playing with them, or just sitting and keeping them company.
“We are so happy to have found Mackenzie! Her calm demeanor is perfect for our boy and she is very in tune with what he needs. It was a hot weekend and she found ways to keep him entertained inside!

Raenell did a great job at our house for a dog sitting need we had for a long weekend. She has been great to work with since we first contacted her and very responsive both before and during her stay. Our dog was in great hands and our house was taken great care of. We definitely recommend Raenell and will reach out to her again!
