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.
“Kyra was so good with our two dogs! We have a boisterous pit mix and little border collie and she played ball with them when she visited and gave them tons of love. 11/10 would book again.”
“Kristina took great care of my two cats during check-ins. They got playtime and cuddles. I really appreciated getting videos and rover cards with notes on how they were doing while I was gone.”
“Victoria is an exceptional cat sitter. I just returned home to 2 content cats and absolutely no litter box smell. She even alerted us to the reappearance of kitchen counter ants and helped us deal with them! Victoria communicates well and is very reliable. I recommend her highly.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and grew up with multiple cats and dogs around me at all times. I've always loved animals and found joy in caring for them, including walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. I have experience caring for dogs and cats from ages 0-17, including providing special routines and administering medicine. I'm currently working part-time in the area, so I will have plenty of time to meet new animals. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, so I am available most days. For me, a pet's health and happiness take precedence, so I always treat a pet as if they were my own, giving them all the attention they deserve. Some pets can be shy, so I always try and meet them where they are comfortable.

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”
About: Hello! I’m Tamara and I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your pet’s life. My goal is to build a lasting bond with your fur baby, providing you with peace of mind knowing that they are receiving the best possible care from someone they trust. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands on experience with a variety of animals. I completed a canine training program through the SPCA and have had the privilege of working with a county animal shelter, where I fostered and helped rehome dogs in need of special care. Over decades, I’ve fostered many dogs with a range of behaviors and needs. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry companion, ensuring a safe enjoyable and enriching experience. I have the privilege of working from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate ample time to meet your pet’s needs. Pet care is not a side gig for me, but a long term passion that I take great pride in. Understanding that your pets have distinct needs, I prioritize creating a customized care plan tailored to both you and your pet. With experience working with dogs with various behavioral needs, my focus is on establishing trust and providing a positive, secure environment. Whether caring for your pet in the comfort of your home or on an engaging outdoor adventure, my commitment is to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding experience every step of the way.
“Makaia is awesome! She took amazing care of my little fur baby! I was stuck working a long shift at work, and was worried my puppy wouldn’t get enough exercise for the day, so she offered to bring over her pug to play! Makaia sent me pictures, so I could see how much fun my puppy was having, and is always very quick to respond! I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for most my life. Pets have become my passion. I can administer medicine, give as many potty breaks as needed and give them all my attention and love. I do work full time at a pet store so if your booking is for the weekend I will either be able to check in frequently or even bring them with me to work. Whatever you prefer. I’ll have Sunday and Monday off and will be at your pets side 100% of those days. I have a unique set up for my home. I have no yard but the world will be your pets oyster. I can walk them or sit at a secluded park or take them to the beach. If they are not so active I can slow it down for them and whatever they need.
About: I started a self made rehabilitation center in my parents back yard (age 14) specializing in rehabilitating and rehoming exotic birds. As most kids I’ve taken care of chickens, rodents, and of course I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. A few years ago I started pet sitting for family and friends. I’m from the Sierra Nevada foothills, currently in Humboldt. I have very open availability. I have no problem spending nights, or doing drop in visits. Feel free to ask me questions or concerns you may have and I’ll do my best to answer them for you. Here are a few details to describe the care I give my animals and the care I can provide for yours. I offer dog walking for 30 minutes or an hour every day of the week for Eureka residents. Along with drop in visits as well. I also offer over night service in your home for the comfort of your pet/pets. I usually travel no farther than Fortuna to McKinleyville, but will consider traveling further for a small price raise in services. I live a very active lifestyle. My day usually starts about 5 AM and goes till about 11 PM. So I will be able to give your pet/pets my absolute attention and care. I currently work 10 to 8 five days a week. With working out of town I will be gone between those hours.
“Melissa was great! She followed through and communicated very well upon each visit with comments and photos. My cat runs away from strangers, and upon meeting him, she immediately sat down to appear less threatening. He stopped and watched her. She is adaptable and intuitively knows how to be with animals.”

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.”

“I've known Tamara for over 25 years and for those years I've seen her care for countless animals. Tamara has started and run a Pit Bull rescue and never turned away a dog in need. Tamara was the person I turned to when I got my first dog. She helped guide me through the process and she was there every time I needed help in the first months of having my new (rescue) dog. She helped me train him and helped me learn how to be a responsible dog owner as well. She also (of course) takes care of my dog, cat and house whenever I have to travel for work.”

Paige looked in our kittehs for 3 days and was absolutely great. She was kind and personable when she visited ahead of them to meet them, and the girls received excellent care and lots of attention. She shared really cute photos of each visit. We will definitely rebook with her in the future! 🙂
