About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.
“Melanie provided exceptional care for my senior dog while I was away over the weekend. He has special needs due to his age, including medication, and she handled everything perfectly. I felt at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She sent me regular text message updates with pictures of my sweet boy, providing me peace of mind. Her attentiveness and compassion stood out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter then Zalie. I can't say enough good things, she took great care of our senior Border Collie. When we returned home after 4 nights, the place was exactly as we had left it. We highly recommend Zalie, she is truly a professional and tops in her field. Both my wife and I look forward to having her back the next time we leave town.”
“Celia was thoughtful, asked thorough questions in preparation, was mindful of the space, and very caring and conscientious for my dog and home while I was away. She went above and beyond! Both Velma and I would be delighted to work with her again.”

“Halley did a fine job taking care of our animals. I have not spent any time away from my dog in the 12-ish years I've had her so I was pretty stressed about that. We also have a cat of advanced age, we were worried about her and finally 2 cats who are sneaky and will dart out if you're not paying attention. Happily all 4 animals are happy and unstressed. They were happy to see us of course but overall, they didn't have too much stress. Finally, our home was still neat and clean when we got home. Halley was very conscientious, she left our home as neat as she found it. There was a snafu but Halley managed to deal with it and get on with things. I would be happy to recommend her to others and if we ever need to go out of town again, Halley is who I would ask to care for my home and my animals.”
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.
“I came back to a happy and serene cat and spotless home. My cat isn’t the friendliest, but she quickly let Ashley pet her and was comfortable with her, ultimately sharing the bed at night. Ashley figured out a better way to give my cat her meds! Topo and I look forward to having her back.”
“Lela was really great with Esther!! She sent photos of her throughout the weekend and took great care of my place and my sweet girl. I would definitely recommend her to watch your special pet!”
“Axel was great! They went above and beyond, sending multiple photos of our sweet boy a day. I truly appreciated the care to detail and kindness Axel showed our kitty. It made our trip more enjoyable knowing we could we had someone we could trust spending time with Adrian. Would definitely book Axel again!”
“Bailey dog sat my special girl who has separation anxiety during a chaotic time in our lives, as we were relocating homes. She gave my dog the company and comfort she needed while I moved our belongings. I would recommend Bailey to care for your pooch!”
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 have years of experience working with pets and have been caring for pets of all kinds from a young age. People were always outnumbered by pets in my household. I have had the pleasure of expanding my experience with animals as I have worked for the past two years as a nanny/farmhand. In that position I have worked with dogs, cats, goats, chickens and even a sassy young miniature donkey. I am lucky enough to have my best friend living locally who worked as a veterinary technician for several years and is always available for medical advice! My work days extend Mondays through Friday for 6-8 hour stretches depending on the day. My schedule allows for plenty of time to walk and play with your pets before 9am and after 4pm with additional opportunity for brief check-ins/ potty breaks on M/W/F as my work is flexible those days allowing me to be mobile and pop by if needed. For the comfort of your pets, I am more than willing to stay with them at their own home for the duration of the job. I do have a sweet 9 year old Belgian shepherd mix who she gets along wonderfully with other animals and would love to join me to provide an additional social aspect to the visit if you wish or I can come solo. Totally depending on your preference!
About: Much of my animal experience comes from not only owning but also veterinary experience, grooming, daycare and volunteer work! Loving animals is dream job 🫶🏽 Currently, I have a flexible schedule for you and your fur babies convince! (: Prefer afternoons/night activities on most days but can work with you to do mornings! I am familiar with dog/cat behavioral traits and characteristics through years of experience in order to more comfortably and safely interact with your paw-pals 🐾
About: I am an all-around animal lover and always have been. I am very sensitive to an animal's needs, and want to make sure your animal is happy. Having a large car, I would love to take your dog for long walks around the community forest, the marsh, or around the local park. I'm currently working part time, so I have high flexibility and availability for taking care of your dog or cat. Weekdays are preferred, but I am also available on weekends if needed. I have a small studio apartment that would be most appropriate for boarding a small dog or cat. I also love walks and would be willing to take your pup for a walk in the community forest nearby, the nearby park, marsh, beach, etc. Caring for your animal is my top priority.
