House Sitting in Blue Lake

“Tyler is a gem! Super respectful of the house and our care instructions. He's also a really kind person who I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby alone with for a 4-day trip.”

“Vanessa was great! Our dog loved her and she took very good care of him. She sent pictures everyday, and they seemed to have a great time together. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

Shaun F.

“Chandi was a great communicator! We have a pretty dynamic pack and she was great with all of them and kept us updated.”

Mikaela A.

“Jolie is excellent, as a person and in her care of animals. She is attentive and sends lots of pictures! She went the extra mile in trying her own kitty carrier by wearing it with my kitten to see if she liked it, and reported back to me, and in the love and thoughtfulness for how my older kitty interacted with my new kitten. I highly recommend her!!”

“Kade took great care of my cat and my house while I was traveling. Everything looked great and my cat didn’t seemed phased by my absence. Great communicator as well!”

Genevieve M.

“Anna was FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover and we were late to the game coming up to the holidays. Anna stepped up, took great care of our pets and house. Our dog and cats were completely happy and hardly even acknowledged us when we got home because they were so well cared for. I could not recommend her enough!!”

About: I am a 26 year old graduate student attending Cal Poly Humboldt. I have always loved animals from a very young age and have owned a variety of animals since I was a child that include; mice, snakes, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I also have experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for extended periods of time. I love animals and am excited to meet your furry/non-furry family members. I have classes throughout the week but have a good amount of time in between them so I am able to pet-sit and dog walk with a pretty flexible schedule! I have pet-sat for many families within the setting of their homes. I make sure to be as respectful as possible of their homes and give their pet's the best and most comfortable experience while their owners are away.

“Zalie is the BEST! She is so sweet and so professional. We have other animals other than dogs (turkeys, chicken, etc.) and she did a great job of caring for everyone! She sent us pictures regularly of everyone having a great time and let us know right away if there were any issues. 10/10 recommend and would love to use her for future bookings!!”

About: Calm, professional pet care rooted in trust, structure, and reliability. I’m the owner and founder of Humboldt Helper, a local LLC providing dependable support for homes and pets throughout Humboldt County. I offer thoughtful walks and sitting that go beyond a standard visit. Because I don’t have pets of my own, your dog receives my full focus in a predictable, low-stress environment. Expect attentive care, clear communication, and a relaxed, happy pup. With Humboldt Helper LLC as my primary focus, I’m able to offer a flexible schedule and prioritize pet sitting clients. Care is designed to support consistency while adapting to your needs, fitting naturally into your daily or weekly rhythm. Walks and visits can be scheduled on a regular basis or arranged as needed, depending on what works best for you and your dog. Care is provided with a calm, thoughtful approach, taking time to understand each dog’s routines, preferences, and signals. The goal is for visits to feel familiar, low-stress, and supportive, blending seamlessly into your routine while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Every dog has different needs, and I tailor each visit to match their energy level, temperament, and routine. Whether that means a gentle neighborhood walk, time on local trails, or calm in-home care while you’re away, my focus is always on safety, predictability, and your dog’s overall well-being. I prioritize: • Safe, attentive handling • Time to sniff, explore, and decompress • Clear, consistent communication • Fulfillment over exhaustion

About: I have taken care of many dogs professionally. I have 3 dogs and know how to take care of chaotic dogs. I have bathed and fed my dogs for 12 years. My dogs like to escape and they bark at other dogs. I know how to solve these situations. Im going to school but I have classes in the morning so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can also stay over night if you need an overnight stayer! I entertain the pets and make sure they are always occupied if need be. If they look sad I make sure to pet and give them a lot of belly rubs.

“I felt like my beloved Yorkies were in good hands!”

Ashley B.

“Sadie really went above and beyond! Our dog unfortunately lost the ability to walk while we were out of town. Sadie was so kind to him and helped him move around and get outside. She really cared for him and made him comfortable. Thank you again Sadie. We are so grateful.”

About: Since a young kid I have always loved being around animals, and would dog sit as my first job at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for countless animals for friends and family, as well as helped train puppies. I work from home and am self employed, so my schedule is flexible and open. I also care for a family member’s dog on a regular basis. I not only cater to my own dogs physical needs, but also to their emotional needs. So on top of making sure your pet is well fed and taken care of, I will always give your pet the deserved attention.

“Another great stay with Zach! Pups and house were well taken care of while we were away. Always have peace of mind knowing he’s taking care of things so we can enjoy our time away.”

About: Do you have a pet with special medical needs? I am a veterinary technician that does pet sitting for animals that require more in-depth medical care. I am dependable, knowledgeable, and professional with 25 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I went to school and became a Veterinary Technician at Cosumnes River College. I have worked in hospitals in both Alaska and California. I have also worked in animal shelter, boarding kennels, and pet stores. . I have raised orphaned litters of wild babies such as opossums, and racoons for wildlife rescue centers to be released back into the wild. I have also bottle-raised orphaned litters of puppies and kittens and found them homes for animal rescues. I have 40 years of experience owning many different species including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (especially bearded dragons, tortoises, turtles and snakes), rats, guinea pigs, mice, ferrets, hermit crabs, fish, tarantulas, horses, goats, chickens and lots of different exotic pets. I will also take care of babies being bottle-fed. I have owned horses for 35 years and can bring experienced, knowledgeable care to your barn while you are away. This includes feeding, exercising, cleaning, and medical care. I work entirely out of my home now, so I am able to devote the full-time care your pet deserves and may medically require. I strive to provide you with the peace of mind that your pet is receiving diligent care and loving attention. I have a cozy, quiet home for a safe, fun, stress-free environment for your pet where they will be treated like one of the family. While staying with me your dog will enjoy daily trips to the beach and for some dogs, the stables. I can also drop by your house and care for your pets and take them on fieldtrips. I provide meticulous attention to diet, medical treatments, exercise, playtime, and your pets comfort, and cleanliness. It is also important to me to spend time together with your pet earning their trust and friendship. I provide you with detailed updates and pictures while you’re away. Whether I am watching your pet at your home or mine your pets will be loved and pampered!

About: I grew up caring for large groups of cats of all ages and temperaments, understanding their behaviors. I also rescued many stray dogs and found them homes. I work in Arcata, and I'm a big fan of walks on the beaches of Trinidad and Samoa, as well as river walks. I carefully observe the flora and fauna, as I enjoy classifying plants. So the company of a dog is the perfect companion for these adventures I have dog leashes, tricks, and a spacious carrier (Ford Econoline van). I also have towels to clean them if they get dirty. Everything that need for a safe and peaceful walk
