House Sitting Brainard

“Jomhel and Junny are the best! Communicative, punctual, and most of all, real dog people! I could tell they truly loved watching Luna 😊 and as an added bonus, they took stunning photographs of Luna that I will cherish forever!”

“Tatianya was a fantastic sitter for our dog Burley and we would book her again in the future. She is kind, caring, and a great communicator. She provided plenty of updates and we felt confident that burley was happy with her. She was responsible in taking care of our home and left it clean for our return. Thank you, Tatianya!”

“Stella was amazing! She truly went above and beyond, ensuring my dog got plenty of exercise, provided peace of mind with daily updates, and she totally respected the house. When our flight got delayed, she even stayed a little longer to make sure our dog got a later potty break Highly recommend!”

“After Ember came to meet my doggie Stella and I we had complete confidence that Ember would take good care of my doggie and my home. She did not disappoint. Communication was great and she sent fotos which were worlds better than any I have ever been able to take whilst holding her on leash. Stella is a rescue who can be anxious, but she really liked Ember and was comfy with her. I will certainly seek Ember out next time I go out of town. Thanks, Ember!”

About: Animal care and welfare are values and skills that I was raised with. My family has a long history of adopting strays as well as keeping watch over the furred companions of others. I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in making sure the animal members of a family are cared for with compassion, honesty and fun. I'm very adaptable in terms of regiment, having served a wide arrange of clients for cats and dogs alike. I've done overnight work as well as sitting gigs that were requested as drop-in, drop-out. My focus is to understand the individual needs of each pet and make sure I can give them the best experience they can have while their families are away. My weekly schedule is very open so I can easily make sure your animal companions are safe and well cared for. I've grown up with dogs and cats, and have an understanding each individual animal has their own needs. My experience usually involves going to a pets home to make sure they are cared for in their familiar environment. I always check with clients ahead of time as to what their companions need. Even if it is a simple drop in, drop out feeding, I always make sure to spend a little extra time to make sure they know they are cared for. Sometimes a cat wants to play after eating. I can care for animals with a variety of needs, ranging from older dogs who would rather just have belly rubs, younger dogs who need lots of play time, or even cats who need different environments; indoor or outdoor. I have feed many pets who have a lot of different dietary needs and can easily adapt to make sure they are all fed well.

“Rebekah did an excellent job caring for my dog at my house while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures every evening. There was good communication thru the whole process. I have already booked her again for an upcoming house sitting. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve have pets my whole life, I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I have experience with medication administration, reactive pets, and anxious pets. I am comfortable managing large breeds and love to walk. I am a student at Cal Poly Humboldt and my schedule is fairly flexible. I drive so I can easily do check ins throughout the day. I keep a close eye on the pets | watch and follow instructions very closely. I take pet care seriously and will make sure your pet gets the best care possible.

About: I have been a pet and house sitter for the majority of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with your animals and making sure they are happy and healthy while you are away. This can include anything from daily snuggles on the couch, to walks around the neighborhood, play time in the back yard, or chasing lasers around inside. I have sat for a variety of animals, but prefer to stick with dogs and cats, but if you have other types of pets we can negotiate. I do not do well with giving shots but can handle a medication schedule if needed for senior or special needs animals. I am currently a remote student working on a bachelor's degree. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be gone from my home so I can come care for yours and your pets. I am trustworthy, quiet, dependable, reliable, and love animals. As I already have pets at home, I do not offer my own in-home care. So, it would be best for me to come to you.

“I came home to happy, calm dogs! They had so much fun with Riley.He sent pictures every day of them playing in the yard. I would definitely recommend his pet sitting services.”

“Melissa took excellent care of our kittens during the holidays with drop-ins during the day and overnight stays. She gave us updates with pictures frequently. It was our first time leaving the kittens at home for more than a weekend and she made us feel comfortable. We highly recommend her for taking care of cats!”

Rebeca B.

“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.

“Leigh was absolutely wonderful and I am very confident in recommending her to take care of your furry family members. I recently moved to the area and was very stressed out about finding a new dog sitter. It’s quite a leap of faith to invite someone you don’t know to stay in your home with your pets for the first time. Leigh was very attentive to both of my pups and kept me updated on how they were doing. She also very last minute stayed over an extra night when my flight home got cancelled and still checked in on them the next afternoon when flight delays continuously kept me from getting home. I am very grateful that I found Leigh!”

Lynn M.

“Our shy Nala took to Jessica immediately! Jessica truly loves dogs and they love her. She not only gave Nala the attention and hugs Nala needed for our first separation, but even did a little training to help break her of her jumping habit. We are very happy we have found her.”

Kate M.

“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.”

“Bailey watched our border collie/heeler mix Huck for 10 days and we were very happy with our experience with her. She provided updates on their activities, followed our written instructions, and we came home to a healthy and happy pup and a clean house! We definitely recommend Bailey as a sitter.”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of breads of dogs for friends and family. I have experience with husky breeds and large dogs. I currently own a female senior cinnamon husky and have experience with what older dogs need on a daily basis. I love going on long walks and playing with any pup. I'm also fond of cats and have cared for and watched multiple. I currently work a full time job thats 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

“Stari did a great job with our dogs Frida and buddy and took good care of our home and garden. She also kept in touch with many pictures of the doggies and was quick to respond to messages during our trip!”

About: I got my first pet bird when I was seven and have been helping take care of many animal friends ever since! I have decades of experience in dog-sitting and I was a long-time cat owner. I am currently a student with mostly online classes, so my schedule is generally fluid and I’m willing and able to incorporate pet-sitting into my routine just about whenever. I will not be able to host animals at my apartment so I will follow whatever rules you set out! I understand the first rule of animal care is love and patience and it will be my job to make them feel at ease when their person is absent.

About: Animals have always brought me a lot of joy. I grew up with and have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, horses, reptiles, and amphibians, so I am well acquainted with many types of creatures! I have cared for newborn kittens, as well as senior dogs and cats. Due to my background as a veterinary technician and wildlife caretaker, I am very comfortable with animals who require medical care or have higher needs in general. I am familiar with giving medications, shots, cleaning and grooming, and overall behavior indicators of well-being. I also assisted in surgeries, where I prepped the supplies, took vitals, and monitored the pet's health while under anesthesia. While I hope no family has to endure the challenges that comes with an ill or elderly pet, it does happen. Whether you are planning a trip away or just need some assistance, I would be happy to care for your fur baby and hope to meet them soon. I currently have a cat and three chickens who I love a lot. So unfortunately, I cannot board any pets at my home. I have a remote job, so am flexible with home stays, walks, feeding schedules, and anything else to keep your friend happy. I always first consider the pets' and my safety. In my own home, I have spent the last 4 years helping my cat overcome her traumatic past through patience and routine. I give her lots of treats and mental stimulation, such as finding new items for her to bat around and sit on. We also have chickens, which have a fully fenced backyard so they can roam. I also love spoiling them with watermelon, apples, and mealworms!
