House Sitting in Loleta

“While you might think this testimonial is biased since I'm Halley's father, I can assure you that it's honest and accurate! Halley has been an animal lover since she was a young child. Coming from a home with many pets (lizards, rabbits, fish, frogs, dogs, cats, hamsters, and rats), Halley has mastered the fine art of their care. In High School, she started an organization called PAWS (Providing Animals a World of Safety) and over the next few years raised funds for local and national organizations dedicated to animal welfare. For several years, while attending college, she was a weekly volunteer and animal caregiver at the local Humane Society, while at the same time working for a local company that provided pet services such as daycare, dog walking, boarding, and house sitting. Given this level of pet awareness and dedication, several friends asked Halley to watch their pets while out of town; and soon their friends were asking for her services as well. As a full-time artist, Halley's flexible schedule permits her to take on these jobs. Should you use her services, I have no doubt that you'll be totally pleased with the treatment that your furry friend deserves!”

“Audrey took excellent care of my border terrier and my house. My dog was even relatively calm when I came home, so I know he received a lot of attention and care from Audrey.”

“Chip was a very caring sitter. My dogs were very comfortable with him and he was very attentive and involved in their care. Thank you, Chip!”

“Heather was nothing short of amazing with our three fur babies. We got regular pictures of them, she was so respectful of our home, and even left us a gift-dog paw ornaments! I could not be happier with her, and she is absolutely our first call the next time we need a sitter. So grateful to have found her.”

“Channing was great! She provided updates on the dogs throughout the weekend and was a very good house guest. You can tell she loves animals! We’ll definitely be booking her again when we’re out of town!”

“Melanie instantly fell in love with both of our dogs. Walter, one of our dogs, is a reluctant eater, and Melanie was determined to help him with that. She sent us a video of her hand feeding him. They both clearly enjoyed the process. She is extraordinarily good about staying in touch with what's happening, and we appreciated the updates and photos of our happy dogs while we were away. Melanie is exceptionally fine-tuned to this work, and we will always choose her for our dogs. She did such a great job that we included a large tip.”

“Thank you Sadie! I could really tell she gave my dog attention and love while I was away. She also sent pictures and updates the whole time. I really loved the communication we had. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

“I worked with Sophia as a fellow Animal Caregiver. Sophia has a great respect, love and compassion for all animals. She is dependable, punctual, honest and an utmost responsible and loving dog caregiver. She holds my complete trust in her dog caregiving abilities.”

“First time booking Sam. He house sat and dog sat three doggos. Large breed, medium breed, and small breed. Our home was spotless when we returned and our dogs were fat and happy. We had a great first impression with Sam and look forward to booking his services again in the future.”

“Emma was awesome house sitting for our two chicken pups. By the time she left, she had both coming for cuddles. Highly recommend her. Will definitely use her again if we go anywhere else.”

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. 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: 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 :)

“Bianca was very helpful and responsive when watching my dog and housesitting. Nice and easy to coordinate with.”

“Ellen was on time and took the dogs for a walk everyday! They were calm and happy when we returned and I could just tell they were well taken care of. I got over my fear of leaving them with a stranger. Ellen is experienced has calm energy and is reliable!”

“Kate is a wonderful dog sitter and person. Mac doesn’t even miss us when we’re gone. Kate sends us pics of Mac and gives us updates. When we return our house is just the way it was when we left. We highly recommend Kate to watch your pet and your home.”

“Danielle was a pleasure to work with! She was extremely responsive to all my concerns about leaving my pets alone for a week and sent pictures and updates daily. Our doggies seem to really take to her and I felt comfortable knowing she was here for them. She even did a bonus vacuuming, after a week of wet, messy weather left our floors quite messy. We will be more than happy to have Danielle back again to hang out with our furry friends if we have to leave town!”

“Rita is the best! She walks every day with her dog Birdie a small terrier. Loves all animals and big and small, two legged, and four legged are friends to Rita! I just wish she were closer to me so I could use her services. She is also honest and trustworthy as a person and will always tell you the truth. Caring is her middle name to me. You will love her! JK”

“Danielle grew up in Bend Oregon on 20 acres with lots of pets. She was a competitive Jumper rider and was raised around dogs, cats, goats, horses. In middle school she did agility training with her labrador and doberman. She is aware of special need dogs, and understands commands of obedience, basic social patterns of dogs, and has been thru many training courses with her current American Bulldog. She is responsible and active and I would trust her with any of my animals.”

“I have known Mike for many years, and he has cared for my pets, often at the drop of a hat, many times. He has house-sit multiple weeks at a time when I was out of the country on vacation and cared for my cats like he would his own. I have know him to always be caring for someone’s dog (once for two years when the owner was in the Peace Corps). He’s been a volunteer in the Humboldt Community from board service with Humboldt Animal Rescue Team to Friends of the Dunes. A trustworthy guy with a big heart for animals!”

About: I have loved animals all my life and my dog is my whole world! I am not certified but have studied positive reinforcement dog training for many years and had great success. It is a dream of mine to become a dog trainer. This being said, I am confident I can provide safety and proper care for your pet. Additionally I’ve meticulously cared for many small animals and cats as well, and I am very careful because I know how important our animals friends are to us. I have experience with senior animals and administering oral medications and inhalers. Please reach out with any additional questions or concerns regarding your pet’s comfort and well being! My work schedule is flexible so long as services are planned one week in advance. Evening drop ins are available on work nights all week. My work schedule can be adjusted based on your pets needs. In my clients home I am focused on respecting the space of the animals and the client. It’s my job to ensure the animal is safe and sound and so my first goal is to be a safe and protective presence.
