Dog Boarding in Fortuna

About: Having extensive knowledge on dog nutrition as well as domesticating feral dogs with specialized training. I am also skilled in administering all types medication. My dog Axl and I completed AKC canine good citizen certification. This has increased my skills in dog training and behavioral corrections. I work from home owning my own pet treat and food topper company allowing me to spoil your fur babies! This allows me more time to love and care for them I provide a large secure yard with green grass for plenty of playtime that no pup has escaped. I also am well versed and aware of different dog behaviors and health issues that can arise and can communicate effectively regarding your pet to ensure safety with the best health options.

“Jess cared for my hound dog for four days and treated her as if she were her own dog! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was super attentive to Luna’s needs. Jess has ducks and quails and a lovely corgis named Logan, needless to say, Luna was never bored and she was exhausted from her adventure when I picked her up😊 Jess gave us some fresh veggies and quail eggs too! Will definitely be bringing Luna back and I’m sure she can’t wait!”

“Outstanding care, a True Dog whisperer. Sequoia Humane Society hired Mark to care for Browner an d Odie over the Thanksgiving holiday - Two large dogs! Both are known to struggle with other dogs, including each other. I was honestly preparing for this to simply be a safe, calm stay...what we got was something truly incredible. From the very beginning, Mark asked all the right questions about behavior, needs, routines and safety. It was clear he understood these were not "easy" dogs and approach their care with thoughtfulness, patience and professionalism. I encouraged him to try socializing them only if he felt right about an opportunity. To our complete surprise, Brownie and Odie became best friends almost immediately in his care. This is something we have not been able to achieve in a shelter environment and seeing that transformation was nothing short of amazing. This experience has opened new doors for both dogs and given us real hope for their future success in foster and forever homes. Both dogs had the time of their life in Mark's care. We are grateful for his kindness and opening his home to our animals during Thanksgiving and the day after. As Executive Director of Sequoia Humane Society, I can confidently say I would trust him again and without hesitation recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional caregiver for your animals...especially dogs!”

“Krissi went above and beyond taking care of Peanut for me. It was my first time leaving him with someone I didn’t know but I felt very comfortable and secure leaving him in her care. I’ll definitely keep Krissi in mind for my next trip. Thank you!!!”

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 a college student at College of the redwoods pursuing my degree in early childhood education. I'm in class Monday Tuesday and Thursday evening and watch my baby nephew during the weekday hours. Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. I 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.

“Mark was great! Super responsive and sent lots of pictures. He has a great backyard for your dog to play in and Pachinka enjoyed her weekend get away :)”

“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 trained my dog from a puppy and have loved taking care of other pets. I love to give snuggles to any animal and enjoy giving them the best life and spoil while I can! I have a spotty schedule that isn’t the same every week but I don’t tend to be gone longer than 4-6 hours. If I am I am able to work something out. I take safety into account with any animal. Puppies can learn from bigger dogs but up to an extent. They will be loved and get as many belly rubs as they need!

About: I am a pharmacist, graduate of UCSF where I got my doctorate and UCLA. I recreationally board friends animals and would like to help others I work 4/7 days a week, so boarding can be worked around my schedule where I’m free afternoons and evenings and all day on days off. I need up to a 2 week notice for boarding or visits Fenced yard, outside and inside cameras, own my own home in a safe neighborhood and have neighbors and coworkers to help in a pinch anytime

“Melissa and Alan provided the perfect setting for Dazey to play and socialize with other dogs and their awesome cat! The calm, caring attention Melissa and Alan gave to Dazey was great. Regular updates reassured us that Dazey was having a great time while we were away. Dazey came home happy and ready to have more fun with Melissa and Alan soon!!”

Allow yourself to work or vacation without worry. I am a virtual assistant and work from home.

He is friendly and enjoys play dates with other dogs. I am available to go to your home if you do not want other dogs around and leave my dog home with a member of my family. Each dog is cared for as their owners desire including how they eat, when they eat, sleep, walk & play.

“Whitney is excellent at what she does and we would recommend her to anyone. Great communication and very helpful training recommendations. We will definitely look for her next time we need someone to watch our dog next time we need to leave town!”

About: Calm, professional pet care rooted in trust, structure, and reliability. I’m the owner and founder of Humboldt Helper, a local LLC providing dependable support for homes and pets throughout Humboldt County. I offer thoughtful walks and sitting that go beyond a standard visit. Because I don’t have pets of my own, your dog receives my full focus in a predictable, low-stress environment. Expect attentive care, clear communication, and a relaxed, happy pup. With Humboldt Helper LLC as my primary focus, I’m able to offer a flexible schedule and prioritize pet sitting clients. Care is designed to support consistency while adapting to your needs, fitting naturally into your daily or weekly rhythm. Walks and visits can be scheduled on a regular basis or arranged as needed, depending on what works best for you and your dog. Care is provided with a calm, thoughtful approach, taking time to understand each dog’s routines, preferences, and signals. The goal is for visits to feel familiar, low-stress, and supportive, blending seamlessly into your routine while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Every dog has different needs, and I tailor each visit to match their energy level, temperament, and routine. Whether that means a gentle neighborhood walk, time on local trails, or calm in-home care while you’re away, my focus is always on safety, predictability, and your dog’s overall well-being. I prioritize: • Safe, attentive handling • Time to sniff, explore, and decompress • Clear, consistent communication • Fulfillment over exhaustion

“Cora and her place are outstanding! A fully fenced yard nestled in Myers Flat's natural wonder. With 3 friendly pups to play with our yellow lab was a happy camper while we got to explore the "no dog" redwood trails. Thanks Cora, we hope to be back soon!”

“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.”
