Johanna is a real pro. She saved our bacon after another sitter canceled the afternoon before I left. She was able o swing by for meet / greet same day. She was able to carry out the drop in duties and played with Mei. It was a real life-saver after the late cancellation. I highly recommend Johanna.

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: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the past 15 years and professionally taking care of animals since 2014 in the Sacramento area. I am a full time student with gaps between classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in class 9-12:30 and 2:30-4:30 in Eureka, so on those days I might be able to let your pet out during the gap if your place isn’t too far away. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I’m in class 9-1:30. I would be conducting care at your home or neighborhood if walking, since my rental does not allow animals. I can do overnights at your place, drop in visits with feedings and/or walks.

About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 5 years, but have been involved in taking care of and having pets my entire life. I am really involved and want to make sure your pets feel well taken care of and have an enriching time when they’re with me. I’m currently in school and have a lot of availability outside of being in classes. I have mornings and afternoons free, as well as breaks between classes. I want to make sure that you feel comfortable, and so I always want to make sure I get all the information from you on the routine of your pet and what they prefer.

It was a relief to know our cat was in good hands! We definitely hope to call on her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a companion for their furry friend.

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 have been watching other people’s dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a household that always had a dog, too! I have cared for dogs as big as Bernese mountain dogs and as small as chihuahuas. I have taken all sorts of dogs on walks and am diligent about making sure they get adequate potty breaks and food. I am comfortable with bathing dogs, as well. Playtime is a priority, too (: I am currently working part-time so I am able to work your pet into my schedule quite easily! My schedule does vary day by day, but that is something we can chat more about if you’d like to book me to care for your pet! Generally speaking, I am most available in the afternoons and evenings but can be somewhat flexible. I believe your pets’ safety is of the utmost importance. To maintain their safety I will keep your dog securely on a leash when we go on a walk. I will ensure that your cat or dog does not get out of the house when it is not supposed to be outside. Finally, I will build a good rapport with your beloved pets so that they will trust me, and so you can trust me, too!

About: I'm Lianna and am a lifetime dog owner. I'm a reliable walker/sitter/volunteer who adores animals and can accept jobs at the last minute. I work P/T, which allows for flexibility with your pet's needs. I'm very fit and will leave your pooch pooped and happy :) Living in Mckinleyville, it is easy to service this area and Arcata with my vehicle, even at the last minute. I work part time, so I have flexibility to play with, walk and check in on your creatures. I have accepted very last minute jobs. I have a yard that my two dogs romp around in. There are plenty of toys and walks per day, which keep them happy. Woof!

I am overjoyed to have found a pet caregiver like Marlee. They consistently demonstrate exceptional care and dedication to my pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness while I am away. I am an individual who worries a lot about my pets while I am away and Marlee has helped with that tremendously. Marlee always ensures I am updated on how my pets are doing (including picture updates), follows instructions impeccably and is always my first choice of caregivers while I am away. Marlee is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I have complete confidence in Marlee's ability to provide outstanding care and would recommend them to anyone.
