Dog Boarding in Ferndale, CA

“Jessica was amazing! Her place is literally a dogs paradise and Julius had the best time. When we arrived, Jessica gave us a lay of the land and asked great questions to get a feel for Julius’s personality as there were other dogs there as well. Julius and her Corgi are new besties and I’ll definitely be rebooking with Jessica next time I’m in town!”

“My experience with Miranda was great! She’s a sweet person and did great with my doggie. She was quick to respond to my messages and kept me informed about my dog during her stay. I will definitely ask her first the next time I need a sitter.”

About: I have always been an animal lover since childhood and have taken care of a variety of pets of all sizes! I've helped raise puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped train good walking, bathing, and bathroom habits. Most animals respond very well to me. Also being a bigger person I have no trouble dealing with larger dogs. Very experienced in all areas of pet care. I am at home this summer until my college classes start in the fall to continue my degree in early childhood education. Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. Drop by mid-day walks anytime I'm available! I have a lot of availability and would love to spend my time with animals giving them quality care and attention. I am more than happy to watch your pets while you are away on vacation or gone for the day. I Can do drop bys or overnights depending on your preference and your animals needs. I have a large fenced yard that is great for animals if you need boarding. I have reliable transportation to get to and from. I can take them on walks in your neighborhood or go to a local dog park if you prefer. Very open to working with what is best for your animal. I have my own dogs at home but will leave them there while caring for your animal(s) unless you would like the socializing. We have two friendly larger male dogs that love to meet new dogs if you are interested in doggy day care or boarding. Our home has a large size dog door for pets to access the house at their convenience.

“It seems my nervous dog was very comfortable (and even playful!) with Neil, Mariah, and their dog posse. In fact, he couldn’t wait to greet Neil at the door this last trip. I’m very happy to have found them, and it will be a relief to know Linny is in loving hands during future trips.”

About: I am a pharmacist, graduate of UCSF where I got my doctorate and UCLA.

“Amy did a very great job taking care of Kilo for the 6 days 5 nights. I was away for work & she stepped in last minute to dog sit him in such short notice. She was able to accommodated exactly everything for Kilo :)”

“No doubt, I would come to Serjio again for all my pet sitting needs! My dog usually doesn’t like strangers but they clicked instantly. I was amazed at how well my dog was doing in his care! I fully expected behavioral issues due to my dog’s anxiety but Serjio said he did great and I think that’s all because of how well Serjio handles pets. He updated me with pictures of them playing and assured that my pup was doing just fine while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of my Ralphie!”

“Cora was very easy and pleas t to deal with. Her property was very nice for our dog Woody, who seemed to have a very good time with Cora and her dogs.”

“Melissa and Alan made Kiwi feel right at home during her first overnight stay. She even got cuddly with them and with a new dog friend she met during her visit, which is very high praise from Kiwi. We're so happy that Kiwi is finding a comfortable place she can regularly go to when she can't come along with her humans. She'll be back for our next out of town trip!”

About: Traveling to Arcata for 10 weeks and happy to cat sit! There's something about cats and small dogs that just resonate. I have lived with cats, pigeons, parakeets, a pittie mix, and 2 small dogs in my home, and immediately adopted my own cat once I moved out. That being said, I vibe the strongest with cat energy (chihuahuas and other small dogs are also cats, believe me). I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms since I was 15 (now 31). If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, I'm their gal :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have have plenty of time to bond. I will make sure they feel like someone loving and safe is still around while you are on your trip away. Excepting the other Rover sits, I work on a contract and freelance schedule, so my schedule is relatively flexible. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work. Even if I'm fully booked, go ahead and reach out and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their lead and it works!

“Francisca did a great job of caring for our older lab. He enjoyed daily walks and playing with her dog. We got lots of pics and videos. We would recommend her.”

“Sonja provides a wonderful environment for dogs and is a thoughtful, knowledgeable sitter. Although our puppy’s boarding experience didn’t work out due to his separation anxiety, I still want to leave a positive review to support her business. It’s clear she genuinely cares about dogs and considers their long-term development. When our pup grows into a confident gentleman someday, we’ll definitely look forward to coming back.”

“Our dog had a great stay at Will's house. He enjoyed the outdoors and playing with Will's dog. Will was flexible about our return time since we had a long drive. We will use Will again!”

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.

Whether I am watching your pet at your home or mine your pets will be loved and pampered!

“Halley was so nice & communicative throughout Micah's stay (~5 days). They spent plenty of time outside and even went to an event at the beach. When Micah came home he was tired & content. I definitely recommend Halley if you're looking for someone to care for your pet.”
