“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!”


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 was absolutely amazing with Dot! She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. Dot came home very happy after spending the afternoon playing at the beach and getting lots of love and attention :) we will definitely be using Francisca again for all our doggy daycare / boarding needs !!”


“Neil and Mariah both took such great care of Goose :) they sent me pictures and videos of him to show me he was fitting in really well with their little pack of pups. Goose is high energy, so I’m always nervous to leave him, but they helped me feel at ease leaving him with them, I definitely recommend them!”


“What a great experience! We have an 8 month old, high energy Labrador that is my husbands baby! Not so much mine, so when he has to leave her with me I panic. Trying to care for an 80 yr old frail mother and watch her is more than I can handle. Found Rover.com and Sonja and what a relief. She loved her like family, lots of room to run on the mountain. Sonja took her to the beach with her playful dog twice…wore her out! Yay! Sent lots of photos, some videos and kept in good contact. Picked Baylee up and she slept the 2 1/2 drive home! Will be coming back. Thank you Sonja!”


About: With over 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—from puppies and older dogs to cats, rodents, and even birds. I’m skilled in administering medications and providing personalized care, no matter the breed or age. Growing up with a variety of animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. My patience, knowledge, and love for all animals set me apart, ensuring your pets are not only cared for but truly comforted. Pet care is my top priority, and I’m available almost full-time to meet your needs. I’m only busy two days a week, so the rest of my time is dedicated to providing focused, attentive care for your pets. With a flexible schedule, I’m ready to ensure your pets are well-cared for whenever you need! Most of my services are provided in my clients’ homes, where pets are comfortable in their own space. I offer drop-ins and dog walks, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. While I don’t have a yard, I live in a pet-friendly community with great walking spots, and I’ll take dogs out every 1-2 hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. For boarding, I’d follow the same routine, offering regular walks and playtime. If clients have a fenced yard, I make full use of that space for outdoor activities and fun.

About: Friends call my home a dog retreat and relaxation center. It's a quiet, country setting with room to run, plenty to explore, and comfortable lounging. I've been fostering dogs and puppies with Redwood Pals Rescue for years and am a vetted volunteer with the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. I'm happy to send you photos or videos of how your dog's doing and feel free to text/call for updates anytime. I work from home most of the time. Dogs love the country routine and seem to relax here. I live rurally, in Southern Humboldt, but can meet for drop-offs and pick-ups in the Redway/Garberville area or the Arcata/Eureka/McKinleyville area or anywhere in between. For stays less than 4 days, I'll ask that we add the pick-up/drop-off fee. I have a large fenced yard, dog doors to come in and out of the house, and different areas to keep dogs separate, if needed. I usually keep new dogs separated from mine till they get to know each other and show that they like each other. I also have baby gates and can use dog crates inside if needed. I have hosted a lot of foster dogs and puppies for the Rescue and retreats for dogs from the Animal Shelter and have participated in numerous trainings with professional animal trainers and behaviorists. I know when I have to be away from my dogs that they need a kind person to hang out with, some fun, and a comfortable place to hangout till I can come back for them.

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.

About: I own a 7 acre property that is a short drive up Fickle Hill Rd in Arcata! It includes a private trail with access to the community forest and a very large fenced in yard. I have a 1 year old female German Shepherd (Sabine) who is very well trained and LOVES to play with other dogs. I’ve been working with animals my entire life but started officially dog sitting and walking about 10 years ago! I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and feel comfortable and confident in my care abilities. Locally I have done in home care both long term and short term. Now that I have this large property I would like to do more of a doggy day care! I am capable of providing training, grooming, as well as daily exercise and enrichment activities! I am free Monday - Thursday every week as I work from home as a ceramic artist. On the weekends (Friday - Sunday) I work as a waitress. I offer care from my home where I have a very large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. As well as a large dog friendly home for those rainy days. All plants and trees on the property are dog safe! I also have a private trail that is connected to the community forest trails where I take Sabine (my dog) for daily walks. Sabine also loves the beach so we do take weekly trips out to the dunes in Samoa! I’m a dog lover and feel that I am very attuned to understanding the way they communicate. Your dog will look forward to playing around the property and spending time in the forest with Sabine and I!

“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!”


“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!”


“Miranda did a fantastic job taking care of my anxious pug for a two-night boarding. My boy can get pretty crazy but Miranda didn’t report any problems and said he got along great with her dogs. I’m sure he had fun because he’s been asleep since he got home. Miranda walked him, played with him, took care of him and gave him lots & lots of love. I was very lucky to find this boarder & I highly recommend her.”

Elizabeth G.
“Lizzie is one of the most nurturing and reliable caregivers I’ve ever known. Animals and children are automatically drawn to her kind, gentle nature and always feel safe with her. Her keen instinct for sensing subtle changes in mood/behavior cannot be matched! One of my favorite things about Lizzie is the way she prioritizes daily exercise and playtime for the animals in her care. She also understands the importance of maintaining regular feeding times— plus she’s awesome about sending updates when requested. ❤️During the brief few months that Lizzie was my roommate, my dog has never been happier nor as well cared-for. 🐾 I can’t think of anyone more trustworthy to care for my baby!”
