“Ms Whitney was amazing with Dasher she sent videos of him play and having fun. Whitney respond time was amazing she answered promptly which is a really big thing for me. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your dog”

About: I am a grounded and compassionate person, who absolutely loves animals! Dogs and cats are my specialty, but have cared for goats , chickens and bunnies! Ive been filling my free time dog/cat walking and house sitting for the last 6 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. I connect right away with my fury customers and they are always excited to see me. I provided daily walks, plenty of play time, treats for tricks and lots of love . My schedule is usually open and I am able to overnight house sit if needed. I think your furrbaby would be overjoyed to have me as there care giver and friend! My schedule is open at the moment, and im always looking for any chance i can get to play with animals. My calendar is always up to date and my response time is within a couple hours. Animals have special kind of souls, they speak to us without words and unconditionally love us. I try to read what your animal needs and comfort them while you are away. Every animal is different and comes with their own personality, i like to nurture that part of them while helping them feel safe and loved.
“My dogs were comfortable with Jessie and I appreciated her flexibly about drop off and pick up times. Her photos and welfare updates were great especially since this was my first time leaving my girls overnight for two nights. I would want Jessie’s help again next time I plan more exploration of the great outdoors in the Humboldt county area.”
“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!”
“I can't recommend Jacquelyn enough! My senior pup was injured just prior to her stay and had to be given medication and be on restricted movement. Jacquelyn asked questions as needed and provided daily updates. The home itself is really calming, which I'm sure Gertie appreciated. Overall great experience.”
About: I have three pets, two dogs and one cat. I am responsible for feeding them, replacing the pee pads, cleaning up the litter, and walking the dogs. I have had my dogs for over ten years and they have helped me through tough times, and I want to help other dogs who need help whenever the owner is busy. My cat follows me wherever I go and climbs on my shoulders like a parrot, and my dogs come to me when they are scared. I am available every day including holidays (I rather hang out with your pets than be with my family, don't tell them). However, I am a college student. On Mondays, I'll be unavailable from 2:30-8:00 p.m. On Tuesdays, I'll be available by 1:00 p.m. On Wednesdays, I'll be unavailable from 12:30-4:00 p.m. On Thursdays, I'll be unavailable from 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. & 6:00-8:00 p.m. From Friday to Sunday, I'm free. I am someone who is emotionally attached to animals, so I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is safe and healthy, such as not letting them go outside by your request, keeping them away from toxic and poisonous foods, and keeping a sharp eye on them to make sure they don't hurt themselves.
“My dogs seemed happy & content while staying 2 nights with Halley. She sent lots of photos of them playing, resting, and on walks. She’ll be the one I contact if I need a sitter again!”
“We’re so grateful to Mark for taking such wonderful care of Brownie over the New Year holiday. Even with the rainy days, everything was perfect — Brownie was an absolute angel, relaxed, happy, and clearly right at home. She loved just hanging out and enjoying the holidays with Mark and his family. Thank you, Mark, for treating her like one of your own and giving us total peace of mind. We truly appreciate the great care and would absolutely recommend you!”
“Took such amazing care of our little dog while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Took her for walks daily and sent us photo updates too! We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands!!”
About: Having extensive knowledge on dog nutrition as well as domesticating feral dogs with specialized training. I am also skilled in administering all types medication. My dog Axl and I completed AKC canine good citizen certification. This has increased my skills in dog training and behavioral corrections. I work from home owning my own pet treat and food topper company allowing me to spoil your fur babies! This allows me more time to love and care for them I provide a large secure yard with green grass for plenty of playtime that no pup has escaped. I also am well versed and aware of different dog behaviors and health issues that can arise and can communicate effectively regarding your pet to ensure safety with the best health options.
“Our dog Mango absolutely loved his time with Sunny. When we arrived to pick him up after our vacation, he was so busy playing that he barely noticed when we arrived. We loved that he was never left alone and that Sunny sent us so many pictures and videos of him playing and enjoying himself. We will absolutely be using this service again!”
“5/5 stars. Would definitely rate higher if I could. I had to leave my pup with Celeste for the weekend while I flew out of town. She was super accommodating throughout; from taking her to get a new collar (at my request) from petco to pushing back her own schedule to drop off my pup to me at the airport after I had been delayed. All around awesome and easy going, I will definitely be using again.”
About: Personal care that is catered to your dog’s needs with love. An extension of the love you provide your dog while you are away for walks, hikes, beach walks, sleepovers in pets home or ours. Allow yourself to work or vacation without worry. I am a virtual assistant and work from home.

He is friendly and enjoys play dates with other dogs. I am available to go to your home if you do not want other dogs around and leave my dog home with a member of my family. Each dog is cared for as their owners desire including how they eat, when they eat, sleep, walk & play.

Chandi took great care of my dog and sent cute photos while watching her. She took my booking last minute, and was super kind and attentive throughout! I would definitely book with her again the future. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and my dog is calm, happy, clean and safe which the most important thing. Thank you Chandi!! :)
My dogs were comfortable with Jessie and I appreciated her flexibly about drop off and pick up times. Her photos and welfare updates were great especially since this was my first time leaving my girls overnight for two nights. I would want Jessie’s help again next time I plan more exploration of the great outdoors in the Humboldt county area.
Whitney provided a comfy overnight stay for our busy and often rambunctious young dog with clear and prompt communication. She even shared a pix of his daily wild adventures. ( we had not ask for that, but I appreciated that cute bonus ) Our dog’s previous boarding/ kennel stays had him often returning home wild-eyed and anxious. After a two night stay at Whitney’s place - he returned relaxed and rested. We will definitely reach out to her in the future : )
Izzy is an amazing sitter. She suggested we initially meet up at the dog park to check everyone's compatibility. That worked out great! My wife and I had a lot of anxiety leaving our boy for a week and being so far away. Everything went well, and all parties involved are happy. We would choose Izzy again and again.
Lianna was very sweet and attentive! My normal dog sitter fell through and Lianna came to the rescue on short notice. I was anxious to leave my dog for a longer period of time, but Lianna was very reassuring. She is very communicative- I received photos and updates almost daily. My dog seemed to have enjoyed her stay, and she got lots of walks and play time with her two dogs. It is very clear Lianna loves working with dogs. Would definitely rebook!
