Pet Sitting in Freshwater Corners

“Michelle has been absolutely wonderful with Tilly. She is attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring in the way she interacts with her. Tilly lights up when Michelle arrives, and it’s clear she feels safe and happy in her care. I appreciate Michelle’s reliability and the thoughtful updates she provides. We’re so grateful to have her support and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Our dogs were happy with the care they got from Alexandra. They were happy to see us when we got home however, they were content and we could tell that they were well cared for.”

“Bailey is truly a gem! She cared for our two reactive, mostly untrained dogs and our cat over a weekend away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially as first-time Rover users. She walked the dogs daily, sent us regular photo updates, and made us feel so at ease while we were gone. On her second stay, we had some unexpected behavior issues with one of our rescue dogs, who managed to dart out the door (not her fault at all—he’s a handful!). Bailey stayed longer than expected to make sure everything was under control before she left. Her calm, caring presence and quick communication gave us so much peace of mind. She is incredibly responsible, responsive, and clearly loves animals. We’ll be booking Bailey every time she’s available. I would give a million stars if the app allowed it! Highly, highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals big and small. I've grown up with many animals in my life and anything I can do to help other pet owners,I'm excited and willing. I'm good at following instructions and can provide personalized care for your pets needs :) I’m currently caring for pets full-time, so I have flexible availability to provide attentive, dedicated care whenever your pets need it. They’ll get my full attention, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I currently have one dog and one cat so I prefer taking care of your pets in your home, I will follow all instructions left and am willing to send updates as requested, I believe I'm trustworthy and will provide the best care for any animal.

About: To name a few specific skills would be administering medication for cats and dogs, expert back and belly scratching, and behavior training with my own dogs at home. I work part time and have a ton of time to spend playing with your little buddy/buddies! I'm very flexible as my work schedule changes. But longterm sitting and walking can most certainly be arranged! I am currently unable to care for any pets in my own home at this time. Though that may change sometime in the near future.

“Celia did a great job with checking (drop in) visits on my kitty! I think they became pals, and I highly recommend her! She was prompt in her arrival and visits and I will definitely use her again, I felt really comfortable with my kitty in her care!”

“Heather is always amazing! I’ve booked multiple times but this was my longest trip. Her and my dog are best buds! I can tell my pup is having an amazing time with her in the pics. Heather is very reliable and trust worthy. I feel extremely comfortable knowing my fur baby is in the best hands 🤍🤍🤍”

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.

“Ingrid was simply amazing. Never before has our terrorist cat cozied up to someone so quickly.”

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.

About: I've been raising service dogs for Canine Companions since 2016! I have experience with puppies aged 2 months and up. I've been best friends with a GSD for the past almost 5 years! I'm very patient and understanding with anxious and stressed dogs due to my experience with my pup. I'm currently full availble for the summer, but will be a full time student starting in early August. I've got classes all day Mondays and Wednesdays, and I host studio hours on Saturdays. I'm very comfortable with crating dogs and walking high energy dogs. My dog is a runner and tries to escape, so I'm very familiar with keeping a close eye on dogs that are a little too excited!

“Our dog loves Jade. She is kind, patient and reliable. We highly recommend her for any service 😊.”

About: I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, easy and "difficult". I am very adept at walking and caring for reactive dogs who can have a hard time with other dogs and/or humans, and do my best to avoid any situations that can trigger reactive behaviors. I'm also happy to help keep up any training routines, I'm pretty proficient in general dog training, but I know it always comes down to the individual dogs for what works best. I often have people remark about their pets who usually don't warm up to new people immediately taking a liking to me! I'm also totally respectful of animals who do need time to get to know new people and always meet them where they're at, so more than welcome to accommodate those who need more introduction time. I've had dogs in the family my whole life, and have lived with many cats as roommates, and I've loved them all. I've done extensive house sitting everywhere from big cities to rural areas, for periods of time as long as two months, caring for animals as well as the house and surrounding property. My schedule is very flexible so I can make sure I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your animal friends, I live in a sweet quiet neighborhood in Arcata near the bottoms that's great for regular walks, and I have a car and am happy to take pups out on more special adventures too! I always check in about what's best for each dog, and can tailor care around what their usual schedule is with walks and feeding, what kinds of play they like best, and any training routines I can help reinforce during our time together. I make sure to take extra care with reactive dogs and avoid any situations that may trigger them as best as possible.

“Ashley was great. Very communicative and did a great job caring for and playing with our kitties.”

About: Hi there! My name is Amber, and I would love to care for your furry family member! I only accept up to two dogs at a time, ensuring each dog receives plenty of personalized attention. and a calm and focused environment for your pup. With a free and flexible schedule, I am home and fully present with your dog throughout their stay. In September 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved 14-year-old dog, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the love and care our pets deserve at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment, and I strive to make every pup feel at home. My property features a spacious 1/4-acre lot with a large fenced yard for playtime and exploration. Additionally, I’m just a short walk from a dog park near the hospital and beautiful nature trails, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, cuddle time, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with a loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide full-time attention to your dog. Whether they enjoy daily adventures or a relaxing routine at home with neighborhood walks, I’ll tailor my care to suit their preferences. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I believe in providing consistency and structure to help dogs feel safe and secure. Meals, medications, and walks will happen on a reliable schedule, and I’ll make sure your pup is cozy and comfortable at bedtime. For younger dogs, I enjoy working on basic commands to keep them engaged and mentally stimulated. For seniors, I focus on their comfort, with shorter walks and plenty of relaxation time.

About: Since a young kid I have always loved being around animals, and would dog sit as my first job at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for countless animals for friends and family, as well as helped train puppies. I work from home and am self employed, so my schedule is flexible and open. I also care for a family member’s dog on a regular basis. I not only cater to my own dogs physical needs, but also to their emotional needs. So on top of making sure your pet is well fed and taken care of, I will always give your pet the deserved attention.

About: 🐾 Reliable Pet Sitting & Walks — Dogs, Cats & Birds Welcome! Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walks and overnight pet sitting. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic pups who need long walks to older dogs who prefer a slower pace and extra attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines, giving them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also have experience caring for birds of all kinds, which is something many sitters don’t offer. I’m comfortable helping with feeding schedules, cage care, and making sure your feathered friends stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. During overnight stays, I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed in their own home while keeping things consistent with their daily routine. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and cared for. Feel free to message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special needs your pet may have. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and secure during overnight stays. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are being well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pets feel comfortable and loved until you return home.
