House Sitting in Hydesville

“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!!”

“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 ☺️”

“What a wonderful sitter Halley is! She took such perfect care of my dog. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated with how everything was going, and she really went the extra mile to make sure the house was ready for my return home. Would 1,000% book Halley again!”

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.”

“Lizzie was amazing with our 2 beagles that don't like to be left alone! She came the day before to meet the pups and got along great with them. She was prompt and reliable. We were only gone a few hours but when our appointment ran a little over, Lizzie was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Lizzie to anyone in need of pet care services!”

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.

About: Much of my animal experience comes from not only owning but also veterinary experience, grooming, daycare and volunteer work! Loving animals is dream job 🫶🏽 Currently, I have a flexible schedule for you and your fur babies convince! (: Prefer afternoons/night activities on most days but can work with you to do mornings! I am familiar with dog/cat behavioral traits and characteristics through years of experience in order to more comfortably and safely interact with your paw-pals 🐾

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: 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.

“Maria has been an absolute godsend for our sweet Taffy! She’s cared for Taffy on several occasions, always punctual and completely reliable. Her genuine warmth and attentive care put my mind at ease from the moment I leave. Maria’s thoughtful updates (and adorable photos!) give me total confidence that Taffy is happy and safe. She’s professional, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her highly enough—five stars all the way!”

“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!”

Debby L.

“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!”

“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.”

Rachel L.

“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!”

About: Experienced and flexible. Well reviewed! Happy to provide references. I volunteered at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary all through my High School years in Austin TX. There isn't much I can't handle but I'm also aware dogs can have different personalities and different needs. I'd love to cater to your pet specifically! I am 100% self employed, and a part time stay-at-home pet/ plant dad! I'd love to make time to care for your pets as well! Obviously your pets are top priority but please let me know what I can do to keep your home safe and sound as well :)

“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!”

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’ve taken care of animals since I was about 5 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, exercise and take care of their animals. Overnights are not always going to be accepted for me on weekends due to hunting season and having animals of my own. I’ll be able to accept any times during the week due to being laid off. Cash payment is always welcome to save money 😁 I love playing fetch with dogs and giving cats all the scratches they want and desire haha. I am used to spoiled animals so your animals will definitely get the exercise they need. I am also able to crate dogs if needed.
