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.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s taking energetic pups on long walks, giving belly rubs and playtime, or providing extra TLC to senior pets, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to special routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a passion, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. My little dog, Cranberry, is also one of friendliest small dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of being mom to and I bet ya, your dog will love her as much as I do ✨ I love to go above and beyond for my clients. For any home visits/stays, I shall respect your space, your rules, and wishes. I want everyone to feel safe, heard, and seen ✨ also if you ever need anything above the pet care, we can chat about extra details and the such. (Ie: cleaning, watering plants, pulling weeds, etc) Xox Thank you for reading, hope to meet your sweet animal soon 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰 I am currently looking for go back to school part time, so depending on classes, I will be able to fit pet care in on those off times. Safety and trust is of the utmost importance. Let’s create a clear conversational pathway we’re there is direct honesty of what is needed and expected and everyone will be happy ✨ I can provide picture updates whilst with your pet.

“Zalie is amazing!! She is my go to sitter. I have a very anxious dog which makes me anxious but when she watches them all my anxiety goes away just knowing she is there and takes such amazing care of them.”


“Claire did a great job with our dog Bridge. He was a bit panicky with the storms going on. She survived his pacing and panting through a couple of nights, and kept in good contact with us for any helpful hints we could give her. We sure appreciated all that she did to take such good care of him!”


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.


“We booked Maria for a few nigbt and Maria was wonderful with our two dogs!! Her nightly check ins were a wonderful touch, especially since we were nervous leaving them with someone new. We have her booked in a few weeks and I am at ease knowing they will be well taken care of for a longer period of time.”


About: Some previous work experience (6 months) with the Sequoia Humane Society where I worked hands on with cats and dogs with various personalities and temperaments. Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.

“Kylie sat for my cat while I was out of town for a month. That's a long pet sit when many things could go wrong. But they didn't, for the most part. Kylie took good care of my cat and was very respectful of my home. I will use Kylie again.”


“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. It was nice knowing my dogs were at home in their normal routine, and they definitely really liked her. I think they were looking around outside for her when we got back after 8 days haha! I would definitely recommend Deanna”


“Michael was a wonderful house sitter for my pets (dog and cat) while I was out of town. He sent pictures of them daily and took my dog Juno for daily walks as well. I would definitely use him again next time I go on a trip!”


“Channing was great! She provided updates on the dogs throughout the weekend and was a very good house guest. You can tell she loves animals! We’ll definitely be booking her again when we’re out of town!”


“Annalee was absolutely amazing with our babies! They adore her and it was so comforting for us to know that we were leaving them in great hands!! She is a one in a million!”


“Mackenzie was extremely communicative, conscientious, and respectful when she came to look after Stella for a weekend. She clearly really cared about taking care of her as well as being respectful of our home. Couldn’t recommend enough!”


About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.

About: I have had experience in pet care for about 10 years, I was a volunteer at Miranda’s Rescue for a while and gained tons of knowledge from that! But growing up with all the pets me and my family have and had helped me learn the most. I learned a variety of skills that make me a great pet caregiver. I have been a pet sitter and walker for my friends and family but hope to expand to more clientele. I have such an enthusiastic passion for animals and my goal is to someday have a great career that includes all sorts of animals. I just graduated high school last month and am on a gap year before attending college, I have lots of free time and hope to use it for all those who are in need of my services! I have worked with many dogs and cats that are nervous around new people and I am always sure to acknowledge that the animals know that I am just a guest in their home and do everything in my power to make them feel the most comfortable around me.

About: I have had cats and dogs for my whole life, and currently have three cats, and a giant breed dog who I have trained since he was a puppy. I care very strongly about the welfare and happiness of pets, and want to take the best care of them possible. I am good at following instructions and I take my responsibilities seriously. I above all want to make sure that people are happy with my services. I have been accepted to a foreign exchange program that has now been deferred to January, as they were unable to find a host family in the country. So until then my schedule is completely free and flexible. I have a great pyrenees akita mix who weighs about 110 pounds, who I trained from a puppy. I also have three cats, plus a family of friendly strays who live in the back yard. I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life and will do a great job of pet sitting and dog walking. I will do all I can to make sure your pets are very happy and follow any special instructions that you may have regarding their care.

“Ember has a gift with animals and it truly shows in the way they respond to her.

All dogs are treated as family, one of the pack. Ember is trustworthy, reliable, and empathetic to your dogs needs. You will not be disappointed when you choose Ember to care for your beloved pet!”
