It was a pleasure to have Cindy care for my cat Stella while I was away on an unexpected last-minute trip. Cindy sent frequent updates and photos, which provided a great comfort to me since I had only been home from a long trip 3 days before suddenly having to leave again. Stella seemed quite comfortable with Cindy's company! I returned home to a relaxed kitty and tidy apartment. Thank you, Cindy!

Shauna was a wonderful house and pet sitter. I got occasional photos of Buzzi (the cat) -- enough for me to see that Buzzi was very happy. Periodic updates from Shauna revealed no problems. The house looks great; now I just have to keep it that neat and clean.

Quiet, reliable and responsible cat (and small dog) lady
This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!

Flexible, reliable, & adventurous married couple. Animal loving + Travel ready!
Jordan and Alexander were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters during our 3.5 weeks away. Jordan kept in contact with us with pictures and updates about our dog, and it was clear both she and Alexander are real animal lovers. They took wonderful care of our home, plants and garden as well, and we came back to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. If they had any questions, they would just ask, and they took care of everything that was needed while we were traveling. We highly recommend them for any house and pet sit opportunity, and hope they will come back to our home again next time we go away. Thank you, Jordan and Alexander!

Dependable animal lover excited to care for your fur babies and your home.
Terry was great to work with and great at communicating every step of the way. He has the experience to know what questions to ask, and went the extra mile to work with our travel schedule when we were dialing in dates and times. I could tell he was a pro at making our two dogs feel comfortable and well taken-care of. We returned to find two happy dogs and our place just the way we left it - only maybe even a bit cleaner!

Solo sitter with the need to please loving animals while their owners are away.
This was the 2nd time Brandi housesat for us. She did an amazing job again and when I got home, I couldn't even tell that she has even stayed in our guest room because she is so neat! She kept me posted about all of our pets and sent photos. I would definitely trust Brandi to take care of our pets and home again!

Complete Peace of Mind While You Travel: Loving Care for Your Pets and Home
Maeve was very communicative and kept us updated on our pups and house during her stay. Prior to her visit, she was very organized with a list of questions so she was well informed before she arrived. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for while we were gone. Recommend her to others.

Olive can be a bit shy with some new people but April quickly won her love. Can’t thank April enough for her care of Olive and our home. Great communication, left our place clean and tidy with a very happy pup. Would love to have her again anytime. Thank you, April!

Reliable and trustworthy pet lovers
Abby and Matt were so easy to work with and we immediately felt comfortable with them in our home and with our beloved fur babies. They were communicative and clear leading up to the visit. They stopped by our place the evening before the sit started to meet our pets and get the lay of the land. During the visit, they sent just the right amount of updates and photos to give us peace of mind. We returned to a clean home and happy pets and plants. Abby even agreed to change my hummingbird food a couple of times to keep our feathered friends happy and safe. I’d recommend them for anyone looking for friendly, responsible pet sitters.
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!

Only good things to say about Rhiannon! Her rates are affordable and her level of service and care is top notch. My cat took to her immediately and loved snuggling with her in my absence! I got daily updates and photos, giving me peace of mind and assurance that my cat was well cared for and loved. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. 10/10 recommend!
Finding Rhiannon has been a true blessing for us and our fur family! Her kindness, professionalism, and thorough communication bring us so much peace of mind while we are away. Each of our 4 cats has some kind of bizarre special need, requirement or preference. All of our requests (and some were embarrassing to ask, lol) were met with a carefree "No problem!" response from Rhiannon. Needing the most care is our 18-year-old senior, Iommi, who has inflammatory bowel disease. When we are away, it is extremely stressful on her sensitive system. Rhiannon understands this completely and showers her with loving energy during every visit, and is able to pill her with ease. How comforting it is to receive photos and updates that all is well with Iommi and her partners in crime! In addition to fulfilling all of the quirky requests and needs of our motley crew, Rhiannon goes above and beyond the normal call of duty to make sure everything is in order when we return. When we walk in the door, everyone is so content that it seems like we never left! We trust Rhiannon like family, and really couldn't ask for more in a pet sitter. If you are looking for truly exceptional, loving care for your furry companions, we highly recommend Misty Mountain Pet Sitting!
We were referred to Rhiannon by a friend and couldn't be happier we crossed paths with her and Misty Mountain Pet Sitting! We have two CRAZY huskies but Rhiannon was so great with them. She set aside all my worries with her knowledge, kindness and professionalism. She checked in with us every day and truly cared for our pups. Look no further for a sitter. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
I can’t say enough good things about Rhiannon and the quality service she provides to our pets when we’re away. We’ve been using Misty Mountain for years now (multiple time a year and for varying amounts of time) and there’s no one I trust more to care for our three kitties. She’s reliable, caring, communicative and - better yet - our crew loves her. We’re always able to enjoy our time away knowing our furry family members are in good hands!
Rhiannon is a very caring dog sitter and trainer! She comes to your house to meet your pet and has lots of knowledge from years of experience.
Rhiannon is patient, kind, and goes above and beyond with customer service. Highly recommend Misty Mountain Pet Sitting !
Love the setting
Jeff and John are good fellas👍 We trust them with our entire pack when we go away vacations. We filled this entire quadrant with our livestock guardian dogs. They have 4 sections this size. And they aren't afraid to handle dogs that others might call dangerous either... That's an extra bonus! 👌 We'll never have a reason to go elsewhere. If you're looking for "pet spa" type of place you might want to look closer to the city. If you need a reliable and dependable place to house your real dog... You've found your place! 👍😉👍
We have used Willow Run Kennels a few times now and they dona fantastic job watching our doggo. The accomodations are very basic, but they are very nice and friendly there. They are our go to place when we need boarding.
My parents introduced me to Willow Run Kennel and I'm grateful they did. They used to bring their Shepherd here and I've begun bringing my own dogs. Picked up Pups today, they smelled fine, were well taken care of and John was able to give me a nice report of how they behaved at the kennel. I gave Jeff a list of my pup's medicine at drop off and they were able to keep up her steroid treatment. 👍🏻
I have been boarding my pets here for years. Very trustful and kind owners. My pet is always in great hands when left here. Zero behavioral issues when I pick them up. I will continue to use them for their services for years to come. I would 100% recommend them for kennel services to anyone. Thanks for your services!
Agree with CB on the prior review. Jeff and John are salt of the earth kind of people. They provide a clean, safe environment for your pet(s). We've been going there for years and trust them like family. Now if you're the kind of folks who like your pets to have access to TV and fine art on the wall during their stay along with pedicures and manicures, this place is not for you. But if your pets like fresh air and a safe, peaceful environment you will be pleased.
Great great people! Great with my dogs! Their kennels r always clean, you couldn't ask for a better safe place for your pets! I love this place and my dogs do too!!
WARNING!!! DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE!!! If I could give Willow Run Kennels zero stars, I would - for negligence and mistreatment. We entrusted our two dogs to Jeff and John at Willow Run Kennel. When we dropped them off they both had a clean bill of health and were in great condition. We left multiple contact numbers with Jeff/John for them to let us know should the dogs need anything or should Willow Run need to contact us for any reason. Further, during our trip, we called to check up on the dogs and were told by John that they both were great and that everything was fine. However, when we picked them up - “great” and “fine” were the furthest from the truth. Both dogs were unrecognizable - they had lesions all over their bodies, and faces. We scheduled an emergency visit to the vet where the vet declared they were severely dehydrated, had bacterial infections, and mange. When we spoke to Jeff to ask how this could have happened, he brushed it off with excuses and blamed the situation on “misjudgment”. We trusted Willow Run Kennels with our precious dogs - two lives - and the neglect and abuse that our dogs experienced at the Kennel is incomprehensible and unforgivable. We truly have no words and are heartbroken by the way our dogs were mistreated. In addition to other actions we are taking we private regarding this matter, we want to tell others what happened so that you do not make the same mistake that we did. We would STRONGLY advise everyone to please STAY AWAY - for the sake of your animals. Do NOT board your pets here. Do NOT trust this place or these people.
Great place. Our lab mix has spend ~45 days there over the past few years. You can't beat the value. Now, if you're snoody, and expecting "fancy" then maybe you'd prefer the places that cost 4x a day. For us and our dog, this place is a God send! Jeff and family are great people, and the dogs are all fine and happy there.
Place is filthy and dogs don’t have food or water. Very tiny place for any exercise and dogs not happy. Possible animal abuse. Will never return. Father and son put on a good face, but dogs mistreated.
I trust Willow Run with our fur babies every time we leave town and I have for the last five years. Our pups actually get excited every time we hit the gravel road to the kennel!! They are reliable, consistent, and give the best care to animals.
