Dog Boarding in Arcata

“Whitney is great. Cooper spent 10 nights with Whitney and her family and they made him a part of it right from the get go. Whitney provided frequent updates and/or photos on how Cooper was doing and what they were up to. He had some great adventures and experiences. Whitney communicated often and in a timely fashion. Highly recommend.”

“It seems my nervous dog was very comfortable (and even playful!) with Neil, Mariah, and their dog posse. In fact, he couldn’t wait to greet Neil at the door this last trip. I’m very happy to have found them, and it will be a relief to know Linny is in loving hands during future trips.”

“I can't recommend Jacquelyn enough! My senior pup was injured just prior to her stay and had to be given medication and be on restricted movement. Jacquelyn asked questions as needed and provided daily updates. The home itself is really calming, which I'm sure Gertie appreciated. Overall great experience.”

“Halley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Roxy, my Great Dane who, let’s be honestly, is an absolute handful. I’ve honestly never seen her so happy after a weekend away from home! 10/10 :)”

“I was very nervous to leave my Maltipoo with her because she’s never been with a dog sitter before and she’s very small and has separation anxiety too. But Laila was very good with her and made her feel at ease. I left my Lully with her for 5 hours and she did pretty well. She even played with Laila’s dog which she never plays with other dogs before. I will definitely take her to Laila again whenever I need a sitter.”

About: I am down to earth girl, who absolutely loves animals! Dogs and cats are my specialty, but have cared for goats , chickens and bunnies! Ive been filling my free time dog/cat walking and house sitting for the last 4 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. I connect right away with my fury customers and they are always excited to see me. I provided daily walks, plenty of play time, treats for tricks and lots of love . My schedule is usually open and I am able to overnight house sit if needed. I think your furrbaby would be overjoyed to have me as there care giver and friend! My schedule is open at the moment, and im always looking for any chance i can get to play with animals. My calendar is always up to date and my response time is within a couple hours. Animals have special kind of souls, they speak to us without words and unconditionally love us. I try to read what your animal needs and comfort them while you are away. Every animal is different and comes with their own personality, i like to nurture that part of them while helping them feel safe and loved.

“My dogs were comfortable with Jessie and I appreciated her flexibly about drop off and pick up times. Her photos and welfare updates were great especially since this was my first time leaving my girls overnight for two nights. I would want Jessie’s help again next time I plan more exploration of the great outdoors in the Humboldt county area.”

“All went well. I appreciated getting photos and messages while we were gone. Bella was easy to communicate with”

“Outstanding care, a True Dog whisperer. Sequoia Humane Society hired Mark to care for Browner an d Odie over the Thanksgiving holiday - Two large dogs! Both are known to struggle with other dogs, including each other. I was honestly preparing for this to simply be a safe, calm stay...what we got was something truly incredible. From the very beginning, Mark asked all the right questions about behavior, needs, routines and safety. It was clear he understood these were not "easy" dogs and approach their care with thoughtfulness, patience and professionalism. I encouraged him to try socializing them only if he felt right about an opportunity. To our complete surprise, Brownie and Odie became best friends almost immediately in his care. This is something we have not been able to achieve in a shelter environment and seeing that transformation was nothing short of amazing. This experience has opened new doors for both dogs and given us real hope for their future success in foster and forever homes. Both dogs had the time of their life in Mark's care. We are grateful for his kindness and opening his home to our animals during Thanksgiving and the day after. As Executive Director of Sequoia Humane Society, I can confidently say I would trust him again and without hesitation recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional caregiver for your animals...especially dogs!”

About: I trained my dog from a puppy and have loved taking care of other pets. I love to give snuggles to any animal and enjoy giving them the best life and spoil while I can! I have a spotty schedule that isn’t the same every week but I don’t tend to be gone longer than 4-6 hours. If I am I am able to work something out. I take safety into account with any animal. Puppies can learn from bigger dogs but up to an extent. They will be loved and get as many belly rubs as they need!

“Jade did a great job soothing luna's separation axiety. She was happy and content when I picked her up. The photos and updates were really great!”

“Took such amazing care of our little dog while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Took her for walks daily and sent us photo updates too! We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands!!”

“Our dog Mango absolutely loved his time with Sunny. When we arrived to pick him up after our vacation, he was so busy playing that he barely noticed when we arrived. We loved that he was never left alone and that Sunny sent us so many pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying himself. We will absolutely be using this service again!”

About: Having extensive knowledge on dog nutrition as well as domesticating feral dogs with specialized training. I am also skilled in administering all types medication. My dog Axl and I completed AKC canine good citizen certification. This has increased my skills in dog training and behavioral corrections. I work from home owning my own pet treat and food topper company allowing me to spoil your fur babies! This allows me more time to love and care for them I provide a large secure yard with green grass for plenty of playtime that no pup has escaped. I also am well versed and aware of different dog behaviors and health issues that can arise and can communicate effectively regarding your pet to ensure safety with the best health options.

“5/5 stars. Would definitely rate higher if I could. I had to leave my pup with Celeste for the weekend while I flew out of town. She was super accommodating throughout; from taking her to get a new collar (at my request) from petco to pushing back her own schedule to drop off my pup to me at the airport after I had been delayed. All around awesome and easy going, I will definitely be using again.”

About: I’ve had years of experience with all sorts of pets! My family has owned dogs, cats, chickens, and even reptiles. With this, I’ve had years of learning to care for our loving pets and their different needs. I also spend my free time volunteering at the local animal shelter. There, I walk and attend to a variety of different dogs of all ages and breeds. I’m free every day except Tuesday-Thursday 9:00 am - 10:20 am. I am available to check up on or walk pets whenever is needed/wherever is preferred. I have a secluded home in the forest with a large backyard. My family owns chickens (which are enclosed in another area), a small chihuahua mix, and an old cat.

About: Personal care that is catered to your dog’s needs with love. An extension of the love you provide your dog while you are away for walks, hikes, beach walks, sleepovers in pets home or ours. Allow yourself to work or vacation without worry. I am a virtual assistant and work from home. I work Monday through Friday and allow time in my schedule during day to walk and play every couple of hours. I have a fenced yard with one dog. We take multiple walks throughout the day. He is friendly and enjoys play dates with other dogs. I am available to go to your home if you do not want other dogs around and leave my dog home with a member of my family. Each dog is cared for as their owners desire including how they eat, when they eat, sleep, walk & play.
