House Sitting Manila

“We have worked with Junny and Jomhel multiple times now and they are wonderful. Junny communicated with us primarily and is always willing to do a call or visit before our stay to assure they are prepared. One of our dogs has epilepsy and requires a very strict medication regimen (which is relatively new) and Junny reached out to warn us that his new medication was running low, even picking up a refill while we were away. We have always felt completely at ease leaving our animals in their care. Very trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of our home. Big thanks to them for their help and wonderful care of our dogs.”

“Hazyl and Timmy were SO well taken care of! Alex sent daily pictures which I loved. Our house was super clean and our furry animals were happy. We’ve already booked Alex for two more trips we have planned.”

“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.”

“Deanna was incredible. She took such good care of Charlie and sent so many pictures of their walks and fun time! My new go-to sitter for sure.”

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.

“Our pets love Stella! She is very communicative with frequent photo check-ins and she treats our home and our pets with the best care. We’ve had her sit for us before and will definitely be reaching out to her again whenever we need a sitter.”

About: With years of hands on experience working and volunteering at animal shelters since high school, I bring a deep understanding of pet care and behavior to every sitting experience. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, which has given me the skills to adapt to the unique needs of every pet. Currently, I share my home with Sally, a 5-year-old Domestic Short Hair tabby who I adopted a few months ago. She is the light of my life and reminds me daily of the importance of love, patience, and attentive care when it comes to our furry companions. Special Skills • Shelter Experience: Years of volunteer and work experience in shelters have equipped me to handle animals with diverse backgrounds and needs, from shy rescues to high-energy pets. • Multi-Species Expertise: Having cared for a variety of pets, I am comfortable with dogs, cats, and more exotic companions. • Behavioral Insight: Skilled in understanding and managing pet behaviors, including those of rescues or pets with anxiety. • Personalized Care: I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and make it my priority to ensure they feel loved and secure. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, providing the same love and attention I give to my dear Sally. With me, your pet will receive exceptional care and companionship. I am currently a very recent college graduate student who has full availability on the weekends and weekday availability depending on the time(s) requested. My schedule currently consist of work 5 days a week (any changes in my schedule will be noted). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I respect their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I ensure your home remains tidy and secure during my visits and keep you updated with regular messages or photos to provide peace of mind. Whether it’s spending extra time playing with an energetic pet or offering a calm, reassuring presence for a shy one, I adapt my approach to suit their personality and preferences.

“Sadie really went above and beyond! Our dog unfortunately lost the ability to walk while we were out of town. Sadie was so kind to him and helped him move around and get outside. She really cared for him and made him comfortable. Thank you again Sadie. We are so grateful.”

“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.”

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 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.

“Kade took great care of my cat and my house while I was traveling. Everything looked great and my cat didn’t seemed phased by my absence. Great communicator as well!”

About: I have worked and volunteered in animal care my entire life! I was a Senior Animal Care Lead at an animal rescue where my duties were to be directly in charge of 30+ dogs and cats. I have worked with every kind of pet scenario in many different environments, including: Senior animals, Special-needs pets, Behavioral cases, Medical Emergencies, and many more! If you need a reliable and experienced pet sitter, I am the guy for the job! I currently have a completely open schedule! I've just moved to Arcata from central California and I'm looking to work with pets on the side for some extra money. Making sure your pets are comfortable and safe is my number one priority. I can work with whatever your pet's routine may be whether that is play time, walks, potty breaks, feeding, crate time, etc.

“Miranda was amazing! She had great communication, was very detailed and diligent, followed our labor intensive instructions and asked clarifying questions. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have over four years of experience working at a doggie daycare, where I've cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Through this experience, I've developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and common health concerns. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs with special medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring for signs of illness or discomfort. Caring for animals is my passion, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and individualized care for every pet. Whether it's helping a puppy learn good habits, making sure a senior dog is comfortable, or giving extra attention to a nervous or reactive dog, I always prioritize each animal's safety and well-being. I am currently working on weekends, but I am available throughout the week. I am happy to care for your pet mornings, afternoons, and nights. I believe in providing a safe, enriching environment where dogs can be dogs. I love letting dogs explore on walks, sniff to their heart's content, play, and enjoy new experiences while always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I also understand that every dog is different; some thrive with more freedom, while others need structure, routine, and reinforcement of their training. I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow the owner's preferences to ensure consistency, trust, and a positive experience for both the pet and their family.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as animals that take daily medication. I’m very good when it comes to applying the owners needs with consistency and lots of attention for their pets. I babysit part time and I have dog sitting clients outside of Rover as well. My schedule is very flexible and so it’s easier for me to meet new clients and their pets! I always make sure to ask my clients if there’s any additional info that I need to know. I’m a very aware and attentive person, that’s why I keep a good eye on the pets body language and everyday needs. Keeping up with their schedule is another important detail to me.

About: I grew up with and have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, horses, reptiles, and amphibians, so I am well acquainted with many types of creatures! I was also a veterinary technician and wildlife caretaker, so am familiar with giving medications, shots, cleaning and grooming, and overall behavior indicators of wellbeing. I have cared for newborn kittens, and senior dogs and cats. Animals have always brought me a lot of joy and I hope to meet your fur baby soon! I currently have a cat and three chickens who I love a lot. So unfortunately, I cannot board any pets at my home. I have a remote job, so am flexible with home stays, walks, feeding schedules, and anything else to keep your friend happy. I always first consider the pets' and my safety. In my own home, I have spent the last 4 years helping my cat overcome her traumatic past through patience and routine. I give her lots of treats and mental stimulation, such as finding new items for her to bat around and sit on. We also have chickens, which have a fully fenced backyard so they can roam. I also love spoiling them with watermelon, apples, and mealworms!
