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.

“Great communication and care. Having not used Rover before, we were a bit nervous, but delighted to have met Ingrid.”

About: Traveling to Arcata for 10 weeks and happy to cat sit! There's something about cats and small dogs that just resonate. I have lived with cats, pigeons, parakeets, a pittie mix, and 2 small dogs in my home, and immediately adopted my own cat once I moved out. That being said, I vibe the strongest with cat energy (chihuahuas and other small dogs are also cats, believe me). I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms since I was 15 (now 31). If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, I'm their gal :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have have plenty of time to bond. I will make sure they feel like someone loving and safe is still around while you are on your trip away. Excepting the other Rover sits, I work on a contract and freelance schedule, so my schedule is relatively flexible. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work. Even if I'm fully booked, go ahead and reach out and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their lead and it works!

“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.”

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.

“Ashley was great. Very communicative and did a great job caring for and playing with our kitties.”

About: My dog at home, her name is Blue and we go on lots of walks and adventures together. I'll show up and me and your dog will have a great time going for a walk and I'll make sure your pet is well cared for just my dog. I used to work in a pet adoption center cleaning dog kennels and walking dogs getting them adopted to their forever homes. I'm currently I'm only available Saturday and Sunday because working as a custodian full time at Cal Poly Humboldt for the summer. I'm a student hoping to be an art teacher so when school starts up I can be available Fridays as well. I care for dogs at the clients home and I do exactly as the clients direct me to play with their dog. The same goes for taking dogs for walks.

“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.”

“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!”

Sarah A M.

“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.”

“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 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.

“Amazing. Sent multiple pics everyday and updated me about my cat. I know I left Luna in great hands.”

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: With over 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—from puppies and older dogs to cats, rodents, and even birds. I’m skilled in administering medications and providing personalized care, no matter the breed or age. Growing up with a variety of animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. My patience, knowledge, and love for all animals set me apart, ensuring your pets are not only cared for but truly comforted. Pet care is my top priority, and I’m available almost full-time to meet your needs. I’m only busy two days a week, so the rest of my time is dedicated to providing focused, attentive care for your pets. With a flexible schedule, I’m ready to ensure your pets are well-cared for whenever you need! Most of my services are provided in my clients’ homes, where pets are comfortable in their own space. I offer drop-ins and dog walks, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. While I don’t have a yard, I live in a pet-friendly community with great walking spots, and I’ll take dogs out every 1-2 hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. For boarding, I’d follow the same routine, offering regular walks and playtime. If clients have a fenced yard, I make full use of that space for outdoor activities and fun.

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!

“Awesome sitter! She originally agreed to watch our two pups, but plans changed and she was still keen to watch our kitten while we were away for the day. Flexible, easy to communicate with, and sent lots of pics. Highly recommended”
