House Sitting in Humboldt Hill

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.

“Melanie provided exceptional care for my senior dog while I was away over the weekend. He has special needs due to his age, including medication, and she handled everything perfectly. I felt at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She sent me regular text message updates with pictures of my sweet boy, providing me peace of mind. Her attentiveness and compassion stood out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“I would love to give a not so great review so Zalie doesn’t get too booked for us 🤣 but I can’t do that. She was amazing from first contact to the end of her stay. Our pack was so happy and they were well cared for! We are new to this area and leaving behind our other pet sitter was hard. I’m very picky because our animals are not just pets but family. So finding Zalie is going to make it easier to get to do a few things dog free. Thank you Zalie 100 star rating!!”

“Celia was thoughtful, asked thorough questions in preparation, was mindful of the space, and very caring and conscientious for my dog and home while I was away. She went above and beyond! Both Velma and I would be delighted to work with her again.”

“Heather is just the best. We were stuck in Vegas due to cancelled flight and she stayed an extra day with the dogs. I am so grateful for her. She is so good with my boys, they are so excited to see her when she comes over. Heather is communicative, caring and takes so many cute photos. This was her second time staying with Koji and Junior while we were on vacation. I will definitely book her again ☺️”

“Jade did an amazing job with our two energetic Yorkies. They warmed up to her right away, and she sent pictures every day. She was very attentive and we would definitely book her again.”

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.

“I felt like my beloved Yorkies were in good hands!”

“Ashley quickly bonded with our two dogs -she was very thoughtful, and took the time to get to know each of them and their various quirks. I feel sad leaving my girls when we go anywhere, but I felt so much better knowing that they were in caring, loving hands. Ashley was very responsive and communicative, sending photos and keeping us updated. We highly recommend Ashley!”

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.

“Melina is fantastic with our dog and cat! She takes care of the house and I come home to a clean house.”

“Axel was great! They went above and beyond, sending multiple photos of our sweet boy a day. I truly appreciated the care to detail and kindness Axel showed our kitty. It made our trip more enjoyable knowing we could we had someone we could trust spending time with Adrian. Would definitely book Axel again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including rescues and pets with anxiety. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled with administering meds, special diets, and building trust with even the shyest pets. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s a daily joy and a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s starting my morning with a walk, spending quiet afternoons giving cuddles, or staying attentive to their needs throughout the day, pets bring purpose and happiness to my life. I’m dedicated to creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and valued. Because I genuinely enjoy their company, pet care feels less like work and more like spending time with friends—and that makes all the difference. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines—feeding, playtime, walks, and rest—to reduce stress and keep them happy. I give plenty of attention and affection, and monitor their health closely. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and daily habits. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, medication, exercise, and play. I make sure to keep their home secure and tidy, and provide companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. In both settings, my goal is to treat every pet like family and keep them safe, loved, and stress-free.

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.

“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”
