“Melissa and Alan were so great with our pup. He instantly felt comfortable in this new space, and even though our pup was smaller than their other dogs he didn’t get too overwhelmed by the large dogs. Next time we come through Eureka we definitely will be leaving our pup with them.”

“this truly was like Dog Paradise. Wonderful people, and a beautiful environment. We came from out of town, and when we picked up Archer, he was smiling from ear to ear. Sunny sent lots of videos and pictures, and was so welcoming and amazing. I would love to bring my boy back next year too.”

“Stella could not have been kinder! We are traveling from Ohio and needed Doggy daycare so we could go to the zoo. We arrived in town a day earlier and she agreed to meet us and our babies! Stella was welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs. She listened carefully to my instructions regarding our older dog. Both dogs were happy and clean (she gave them a bath at our request)! If I ever pass through again I will DEFINITELY hire Stella again!”

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.

“Janice is a lifesaver!!! We were on our way to the redwood national park and realized that dogs are not allowed on most trails. So we had to find a sitter super last minute and she helped us out! Our dog has separation anxiety and this was the first time he didn’t miss us at all! He had so much fun playing with her dog and the other little dog she was caring for. She is very accommodating and super responsive. She also would send us pictures of our dog throughout the day! I would definitely hire her again and totally recommend her to everyone! She is an angel!”

I have a 1 year old female German Shepherd (Sabine) who is very well trained and LOVES to play with other dogs. I’ve been working with animals my entire life but started officially dog sitting and walking about 10 years ago! I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and feel comfortable and confident in my care abilities. Locally I have done in home care both long term and short term. Now that I have this large property I would like to do more of a doggy day care! I am capable of providing training, grooming, as well as daily exercise and enrichment activities!

I offer care from my home where I have a very large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. As well as a large dog friendly home for those rainy days. All plants and trees on the property are dog safe! I also have a private trail that is connected to the community forest trails where I take Sabine (my dog) for daily walks. Sabine also loves the beach so we do take weekly trips out to the dunes in Samoa! I’m a dog lover and feel that I am very attuned to understanding the way they communicate. Your dog will look forward to playing around the property and spending time in the forest with Sabine and I!

About: I've had animals all of my life. My parents kept getting me more animals because they said as long I was taking good care of them, then I could get more. I would keep journals about their well being( Funny, I know) The point is, I love animals. I have had dogs,puppies, cats, lizards, hamsters, chickens, horses, ferrets, and chameleons, I have 2 dogs of my own and they are my children. It's of the utmost importance to me that any animal under my care feels very loved, and taken care of. I know it can be traumatic being away from your animal, and it can create anxiety. I will do my best to make sure your baby is feeling good and happy! I currently make my own schedule and own my own massage therapy business. The further in advance I know about the sitting job, the more of a chance I will have of being able to clear my schedule for it. My schedule is pretty flexible! I will follow the directions you give me to a T. I know our animals get used to routine, so I will do my best not to disrupt that routine. I am hands on, and want to make sure any animal I care for feels loved and paid attention to.
