Dog Boarding in Arcata

“My Heeler mixed dog stayed overnight with Jada and was treated with lots of attention and exercise. Jada was quick to respond, texted pics of adventures and was very attentive to my dog’s needs. Thank you Jada!”

“Neil and Mariah both took such great care of Goose :) they sent me pictures and videos of him to show me he was fitting in really well with their little pack of pups. Goose is high energy, so I’m always nervous to leave him, but they helped me feel at ease leaving him with them, I definitely recommend them!”

“I couldn’t have been more happy with Francisca caring for my Belgian Shepard. She administered oral medication and took Bella out on her daily walks, hikes and runs. Bella fell in love with Francisca and we feel very lucky to have found a reliable sitter. She communicated with us with pictures and text which helped us feel at ease while away from home.”

“Chris was very good to my very anxious and energetic 9 month pit bull puppy I would use chris again and again he is very good at what he does my dog does usually not do well with strangers but he went right to chris and stayed the night with him while I attended my wedding reception thanks again chris”

“For our second boarding service with Whitney, my dog Cooper was so happy to see her at drop off, wiggling and kissing her. There couldn’t be a better sign than that to know he was in great hands once again.”

“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 :)”

“Kristina was really great. We had a pretty terrible experience last time we used Rover, so we were really apprehensive about using it again. I’m glad we did, because Kristina was the best sitter we’ve had yet. Super responsive, flexible, and sent a ton of updates. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again”

“No doubt, I would come to Serjio again for all my pet sitting needs! My dog usually doesn’t like strangers but they clicked instantly. I was amazed at how well my dog was doing in his care! I fully expected behavioral issues due to my dog’s anxiety but Serjio said he did great and I think that’s all because of how well Serjio handles pets. He updated me with pictures of them playing and assured that my pup was doing just fine while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of my Ralphie!”

“Angelica and my dog became buddies instantly. She did a lot of activities with my dog and send pictures to me. It was very comforting to know my dog was in good hands. When I picked up my dog, she looked very happy. Thank you!”

“Jessica was fantastic! So caring and thoughtful and great for dogs with anxiety and leash reactivity. He has a great time with her! Thank you Jessica!”

“What a great experience! We have an 8 month old, high energy Labrador that is my husbands baby! Not so much mine, so when he has to leave her with me I panic. Trying to care for an 80 yr old frail mother and watch her is more than I can handle. Found Rover.com and Sonja and what a relief. She loved her like family, lots of room to run on the mountain. Sonja took her to the beach with her playful dog twice…wore her out! Yay! Sent lots of photos, some videos and kept in good contact. Picked Baylee up and she slept the 2 1/2 drive home! Will be coming back. Thank you Sonja!”

“Our puppy had a great time and seemed to adopt Stari over the weekend 🐾”

“Sam has a heart of gold when it comes to taking care of animals, but she definitely has a special place in her heart when it comes to dogs! She is amazing at time management and has a ton of experience! She takes the dogs on walks, bathes them and can administer medication if needed! Our dogs loved her, and she treated them like they were her own! She's always been pretty flexible with our schedules and enjoys her time taking care of our pups! Sam is a very kind person, whose caring and loving! I would highly recommend her to anyone who would need extra assistance with their pups!”

“Our dog had a great stay at Will's house. He enjoyed the outdoors and playing with Will's dog. Will was flexible about our return time since we had a long drive. We will use Will again!”

“Our puppy Kiko was only 12 weeks old when Paige helped us out so that we could attend my brother's birthday dinner at a nice restaurant. Kiko has boundless energy, and Paige kept her occupied and safe (she didn't have all of her vaccinations yet at that point) so that we could enjoy our dinner. Kiko was happy to see us afterwards, and very tired.”

“I have hired Ezra a few times and I was definitely pleased my dogs loved her and they were always happy to see her when she arrived at my home. I found her to be very responsible and respectful.”

“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!”

“Emma was amazing! My dog barely noticed me when i came to pick him up which tells me everything about how he was treated and how comfortable he was. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Erin was so wonderful to my senior dog while I was away for almost 2 weeks.. She kept her active and comfortable and sent me photos everyday and let me FaceTime with them when I missed my dog.. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind I had while on vacation and recommend her services to anyone!”

About: Most of my adult life I have lived in rural areas. This has allowed me to learn and care for a variety of different animals. I have discovered that all animals are intelligent. My neighbors nicknamed my property the Dr Doolittle ranch. That about sums it up. I'm currently retired so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do volunteer at several places in our community, but I can fit most new pets into my schedule. For the first time in 46 years, I am without a pet in my home. This means that I am free to stay in your home with your furry friends or take some animals into my home. My yard is fenced.
