“Stella takes such good care of both of my dogs! I never have to worry about them when I know she’s coming. I love the pictures - Lola and Livy look so happy. I’m so glad we tried Rover.”

“Vera is reliable and trustworthy. We love that we can depend on her to take care of our cats while we’re traveling. She communicates well and is easy to text with while away. We recommend her highly!”

“Dani demonstrated her cat-smarts (with our sometimes fickle, finicky & bad-ass feline!); Dani proved to be super reliable and communicative, helping us to completely relax and enjoy our week away, knowing our cat was in good hands! Thank you, Dani!”

“Michael B. did an excellent job pet-sitting for Jewel and keeping us informed about how the visits were going. He was very conscientious and helped Jewel feel comfortable with him there. We highly recommend Michael for your pet-sitting needs!!”

About: I've spent years living with and caring for pets—mostly cats, but I’ve also helped friends and family with dogs of all ages. I had a family cat for several years (she now lives with my sister at college!) and currently live with a roommate who has a cat, so I’m always surrounded by animals and understand how to meet their needs with patience and care. I am a masters student at Cal Poly Humboldt this year. During the school year my availability is generally after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine—feeding times, play sessions, litter box care, and any medications or special instructions you provide. I know how sensitive cats can be to change, so I aim to keep their day-to-day life as consistent and comforting as possible.

“Vanessa was quick to respond, friendly and professional. She took good care of my senior cat with drop-in visits while I was out of town. I recommend her highly.”

“Bailey is the best! She stopped by twice this week on short notice and spent a lovely sunny day with my pets. She sent me the cutest photos—everyone looked so happy and relaxed! It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands when I can’t be there. I’m so grateful for her flexibility, care, and kindness. 💕”

About: I've owned and cared for pets for my whole life. As a sitter I emphasize communication with you and cater and adjust my care for each individual pet! I love getting to know your pets so they can get the type of care that they deserve! I'm currently working this fall as a substitute teacher, I'll likely be free most weekdays and can work some weekends if given sufficient notice. Irregular schedule but happy to work with you to find times that work! I believe that the right environment plays a huge role in the happiness and well being of any pet, I strive to maintain a calm, fun, and safe environment for all the pets I care for and will work with each individual person/pet to ensure that is the case!

“Miranda was great to work with. She and Bella hit it off, and I plan to have her back again.”

Steve H.

“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time. I have had my own pets since I was young and have been taking care of other peoples’ pets for around five years. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and fish. I have a fairly open schedule and can make sure your pet is getting the care and attention that they need to be happy and healthy. I will make sure your pet is thoroughly cared for by following your pets’ routines and by providing food, water, and activity. I will also provide constant communication with you about your pet.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s taking energetic pups on long walks, giving belly rubs and playtime, or providing extra TLC to senior pets, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to special routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a passion, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. My little dog, Cranberry, is also one of friendliest small dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of being mom to and I bet ya, your dog will love her as much as I do ✨ I love to go above and beyond for my clients. For any home visits/stays, I shall respect your space, your rules, and wishes. I want everyone to feel safe, heard, and seen ✨ also if you ever need anything above the pet care, we can chat about extra details and the such. (Ie: cleaning, watering plants, pulling weeds, etc) Xox Thank you for reading, hope to meet your sweet animal soon 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰 I am currently looking for go back to school part time, so depending on classes, I will be able to fit pet care in on those off times. Safety and trust is of the utmost importance. Let’s create a clear conversational pathway we’re there is direct honesty of what is needed and expected and everyone will be happy ✨ I can provide picture updates whilst with your pet.

“Best pet sitter ever! Zoe is so sweet that even my super shy mama’s girl (just seriously spoiled) pup warmed up to her upon their first meeting. Zoe was willing to customize her visits to exactly what my pups needed. Such a great experience for my dogs so that they don’t have to go to a kennel. Zoe was very trustworthy so that we could enjoy our vacation. Loved the daily pics! Already booking Zoe for our next vacation.”

“Jolie was very attentive and communicative while we were out of town. Jolie sent photos of our cat's daily activities (even though our little guy likes to hide around people). Highly recommend Jolie as she communicative, punctual, and easy going.”

About: I've been raising service dogs for Canine Companions since 2016! I have experience with puppies aged 2 months and up. I've been best friends with a GSD for the past almost 5 years! I'm very patient and understanding with anxious and stressed dogs due to my experience with my pup. I'm currently full availble for the summer, but will be a full time student starting in early August. I've got classes all day Mondays and Wednesdays, and I host studio hours on Saturdays. I'm very comfortable with crating dogs and walking high energy dogs. My dog is a runner and tries to escape, so I'm very familiar with keeping a close eye on dogs that are a little too excited!

About: I have been a sitter for 4 years for friends and neighbors. My care has included walking, potty breaks, overnight care, and more! I’ve lived with Dobermans my whole life and am capable of care for any dog of any size! I am a full time student at Cal Poly humboldt, my classes are in the morning and I am completely open in afternoons, weekends and holidays! I am active and love to play with animals!! My dogs at home are escape artists so I know how to avoid an escape due to fences. I have kennel trained multiple of my dogs and prefer to use kennels for bigger dogs.
