About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.

About: I have always had animals as pets in my life. I care for your babies as if they were mine. I am gentle and very caring person. I take pride in my work and would love to meet your pets.

I look forward to meeting potential clients and I have many personal references from pet sitting clients

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, fish, houseplants, and homes for over 35 years. I am responsible, dependable, and experienced with pet care. I am retired and have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can work with you to find the best days, weeks, and time to care for your pets. I have a dog and cat and have a fenced yard. I am flexible on where to care for your pet, and in most cases it would be your home or nearby for walks.

About: As a little girl my family and I believed I would become a veterinarian. Before I could walk there are pictures of me snuggling up with my first cat, Shiva. I remember by three, I had fully transitioned her from an outdoor (borderline feral) cat to my best friend. At seven, we got my very first dog. Maggie, a black, white, brown and very spoiled Welsh Corgi. My passion and admiration of animals never went away, it only developed into a curiosity. How can I be the best leader to my animals? Nowadays, I have a year old, beautiful (high energy) female Australian Shepherd who I absolutely adore. We are often found on the Hammond Trails by our house, College Cove, or hiking in the old growth forests. I have partially owned (family dogs) almost 10 dogs throughout my life, from Corgis to Bourbel, South African Mastiffs. Also so far, I have tamed 4 feral cats who enjoyed very nice lives. Overall, making animals safe, comfortable and happy is definitely part of what I am living for! :) I’m currently in college pursuing Health Sciences, majoring in Nursing. I still have a ton of free time. I am always able to make time to exercise my dog and I for a few hours daily. However, I do not take my dog with me while pet sitting or dog walking clients pets. My dog gets long walks 6-7 days a week, ranging from an hour to four hours per day. On rainy days, we play scent games indoors and do extra training. She is brushed weekly and groomed monthly. She has plenty of toys and gets healthy treats. I am very flexible, what you say goes. I am partial to more high energy dogs and clingy cats. However, I love short walks and snuggling up on the couch to watch movies too!

About: As a pet owner myself, I provide safe, patient, and personalized care—treating every pet like my own and keeping you updated every step of the way. Flexible, reliable pet sitter offering safe, calm care in my home or yours, with consistent routines, secure environments, and attentive, loving supervision for every pet.

About: Grew up with family dogs, and strategically made friends with cats so I could pretend they were mine. Currently I have a 7 year old goldendoodle who has taught me a TON about training dogs in the 6 years I've had him. Your good boy will enjoy every smell on our walk and get some (owner approved) treats along the way, and I'm happy to continue your work on any behaviors you're encouraging! My schedule is pretty much wide open for north county visits (McKinleyville and up) - feel free to reach out with same day requests! Further afield than that I may need some notice, but am happy to work something out! Just send me a message. I'm a pretty "safety first," cautious dog owner. I'll follow your instructions to the letter, and will err on the side of caution. I like to take the time to get to know your critters, and let them get to know me so that it's always exciting when I show up! For interested dog owners, I can facilitate a meet with my own dog for a double walk or a dog park playmate - after a meet and greet to make sure they get along.

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.

About: I used to have my own dog walking/pet sitting business before moving for college for about 8 years. I love caring for pets and look forward to helping whoever out! I go to Cal Poly Humboldt State but only live 5 minutes away from school so besides my classes my schedule is pretty much completely free. I have a fenced in yard as well as a great roommate for more company for your pet. If you feel comfortable with your dog off leashed I also live right next to a large field for fetch:). Whatever your dog needs feel free to reach out and let me know!

About: I am graduating college in May and I love animals and I have house sat a variety of dogs and cats before, and have also taken care of a couple guinea pigs, a bearded dragon, and a pig before. I love to getting to know and taking care of pets! I have loved dogs all my life, my first word was dog! I have owned a dog my whole life and I currently have a dog named Buster who is a 10 year old Jack Russell chihuahua mix who likes to make me carry him while out on a walk. I would love to get the chance to hang out and play with some dogs! I became a first time cat owner in November of 2020 when a cat showed up in my yard. He showed up in a bit of a sorry state but with some visits to the vet, time, and care he has become a happy and playful member of my family. His name is Goosetofur Toast Man, or Goose for short, and I have enjoyed being a cat owner more than I could have imagined! I have been pet sitting since I was in high school and I have watched over 40 different pets. My availability is very open and flexible, I will be available for the majority of the day on most days this summer. I would need to potentially be out for a few hours at a time for things like meetings for a local camp I volunteer at or to run errands. I will enjoy spending time with your pet if they are active and want to go out on long walks or hikes, or if they are a bit of a couch potato I will have a great time curling up with them on the couch. I am observant and care deeply about the wellbeing of the pets I watch and make sure to notify and come up with a plan with owners if I notice any issues with a pet.

“Casee has been so great to work with. She has cared for my sweet yet challenging at times 10-month-old rough collie. Casee has been beyond exceptional at communicating with me about any concerns as well as reporting what happened during their walk together. Casee is prompt and responsible about keeping our scheduled walks and makes every minute count with my dog by giving her a quick neighborhood walk and then a frisbee or ball session at the nearby park. She also has a warm demeanor that makes it so easy to talk to, as if you have known her for years! I really lucked out with finding her and I highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”
