About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.
“Melanie provided exceptional care for my senior dog while I was away over the weekend. He has special needs due to his age, including medication, and she handled everything perfectly. I felt at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She sent me regular text message updates with pictures of my sweet boy, providing me peace of mind. Her attentiveness and compassion stood out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter then Zalie. I can't say enough good things, she took great care of our senior Border Collie. When we returned home after 4 nights, the place was exactly as we had left it. We highly recommend Zalie, she is truly a professional and tops in her field. Both my wife and I look forward to having her back the next time we leave town.”
“Celia was thoughtful, asked thorough questions in preparation, was mindful of the space, and very caring and conscientious for my dog and home while I was away. She went above and beyond! Both Velma and I would be delighted to work with her again.”

About: I have experience working at a vet office, and worked dogsitting overnights and drop ins throughout my college career. I've had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and even horses, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and have one of my own who is one of the loves of my life! I'm happy to drop in multiple times per day around my work schedule (I work from home 9am-5pm) and I have an hour lunch which I use to visit dogs (or really any other animals) on my lunchtime rounds. If your dog needs help learning to socialize, my dog may be the perfect match, he is very easygoing and always eager to make a new friend. We go to the dog park frequently and he is used to playing with small dogs as well as some bigger breeds. I have experience with animals large and small, and I have a horse so giant breeds are still a breeze. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I have an open schedule for drop in visits and walks, and am available most weekends. Whether you are looking for a daily dog walker or a vacation sitter, I can help. I believe each pet requires an individual approach so that they are comfortable and happy during our visits. I strive to figure out what the pet needs to feel comfortable early on during our meet and greets so that I can keep them healthy and happy while you’re gone.
“Heather is just the best. We were stuck in Vegas due to cancelled flight and she stayed an extra day with the dogs. I am so grateful for her. She is so good with my boys, they are so excited to see her when she comes over. Heather is communicative, caring and takes so many cute photos. This was her second time staying with Koji and Junior while we were on vacation. I will definitely book her again ☺️”
“Halley did a fine job taking care of our animals. I have not spent any time away from my dog in the 12-ish years I've had her so I was pretty stressed about that. We also have a cat of advanced age, we were worried about her and finally 2 cats who are sneaky and will dart out if you're not paying attention. Happily all 4 animals are happy and unstressed. They were happy to see us of course but overall, they didn't have too much stress. Finally, our home was still neat and clean when we got home. Halley was very conscientious, she left our home as neat as she found it. There was a snafu but Halley managed to deal with it and get on with things. I would be happy to recommend her to others and if we ever need to go out of town again, Halley is who I would ask to care for my home and my animals.”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter, as she can be reactive and anxious around new people. However, the Bailey was amazing and quickly put her at ease. She followed all instructions carefully, including feeding and medications at the specified times, and kept me regularly updated with messages and photos. It was clear my dog was comfortable and well cared for, which gave me real peace of mind and allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation instead of stressing the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Bailey and will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I have been a sitter for 4 years for friends and neighbors. My care has included walking, potty breaks, overnight care, and more! I’ve lived with Dobermans my whole life and am capable of care for any dog of any size! I am a full time student at Cal Poly humboldt, my classes are in the morning and I am completely open in afternoons, weekends and holidays! I am active and love to play with animals!! My dogs at home are escape artists so I know how to avoid an escape due to fences. I have kennel trained multiple of my dogs and prefer to use kennels for bigger dogs.
“I came back to a happy and serene cat and spotless home. My cat isn’t the friendliest, but she quickly let Ashley pet her and was comfortable with her, ultimately sharing the bed at night. Ashley figured out a better way to give my cat her meds! Topo and I look forward to having her back.”
“Lela was really great with Esther!! She sent photos of her throughout the weekend and took great care of my place and my sweet girl. I would definitely recommend her to watch your special pet!”
“Axel was great! They went above and beyond, sending multiple photos of our sweet boy a day. I truly appreciated the care to detail and kindness Axel showed our kitty. It made our trip more enjoyable knowing we could we had someone we could trust spending time with Adrian. Would definitely book Axel again!”
“Bailey dog sat my special girl who has separation anxiety during a chaotic time in our lives, as we were relocating homes. She gave my dog the company and comfort she needed while I moved our belongings. I would recommend Bailey to care for your pooch!”
About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

Andrew N.
“I’ve known Andrew for over 13 years, and he’s always had a natural connection with animals. He’s patient, caring, and animals seem to instantly trust him. Andrew has rescued numerous stray animals over the years, always going out of his way to make sure they’re safe and cared for. He also trained his own puppy from scratch and is currently diving into agility training, which speaks to both his dedication and desire to keep learning and growing as a pet caregiver. He’s also an avid hiker and absolutely loves taking dogs along on outdoor adventures—making sure they’re not only exercised, but also having fun and feeling included. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Andrew, and any pet parent can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in the best hands.”

Not only did he feed my kitties exactly according to my schedule but he spent a lot of time with them, playing with them and showing them love so that they wouldn't feel lonely. He even took my dog on long walks multiple times a day! Patrick really shows that he cares! His love of animals is simply insurmountable. Now, every time I go away, he is the first person I call! Hire him today! You will not be disappointed!!”
Ember G.
“Our dogger Cliffy had been in a fight with our other dogger and had multiple defensive wounds with stitches. We had to leave town to move our college age daughter about 5 days after the attack. Ember took Cliffy into her home for the weekend, tended his wounds, gave him his meds and kept an eye on him. Mid-day Saturday, she noticed one of the wounds seemed to be infected and called us. We were able to set up with our awesome vet a quick visit and payment over the phone and Ember ran him over and got the wound drained and cleaned and a new cone of shame. I would not have trusted our Cliffy to anyone else. I have known Ember since she was in about 6th grade and she has grown from a lovely child into a caring, responsible, relaiable adult. I couldn't trust anyone with my pets more than I trust Ember.”

Skylar M.
“Skylar was the best ever! I often went away for days at a time, and my elderly chiweenie needs attention throughout the day for eating, walking and bathroom breaks. Skylar followed my instructions accurately and efficiently. She kept in contact with me and sent photos of my dog enjoying her best life. Skylar made sure to comfort my dog and spend quality time with her. She was always courteous and on time. She was respectful of my home and possessions. I would recommend her wholeheartedly!”

Graciela P.
“Graciela is the BEST pet sitter and dog walker I could ever ask for. She took care of my old guy Duke every August when I went to Sturgis for 7 days, she stayed at my home and handled his need, which in later years, was extensive medication needs twice a day, plus all the love of family. She also cared for him other times, at least 3 a year when I traveled out of state for a week. He was always cared for very well and I could vacation in peace knowing she was there with him. She cared for our other dog, Youk, as well, until we lost him. She now helps walk our new puppy and look in on him while we are at work. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that Graciela is there. You can't go wrong trusting her with your pets!”

Deanna really did a great job with my 2 big dogs! She handled everything professionally and friendly, she took awesome pictures of my dogs and sent updates daily.

I would definitely recommend Deanna
