“Always going above & beyond to make sure my little nugget always feels comfortable & loved!! Thank you for being so amazing!”
2. Jacey S.
“I decided to go with Rover after three failed attempts at getting a walker for Reji. Jaycee came for a meet and greet with Reji and I felt comfortable with Jaycee. Jaycee came when agreed upon, Reji left wth her and seemed quite comfortable. When Jaycee came back with Reji, Reji was relaxed. Love Jaycee and feel Reji is both comfortable and safe with her.”
3. Jada B.
“Jada has a love for living things, a tenderness and empathy for beings that share her world, verbal or not. She has patiently cared for her own dogs from puppyhood to their ends, careful to ensure they are well-fed, well-groomed and adequately exercised, but also that they enjoyed a variety of interactions with the world and know they are loved. She makes sure my canary has fresh greens every time she visits. She brings little treats for our cats. She will be a reliable and compassionate companion .”
4. Lauren W.
“Another great week with Lauren. She is punctual and Cooper is always happy to see her at pick up time. Nice variety of walks she takes him on and manages to get great pics of him every day.”
5. Jolie C.
“Jolie was great looking after our critters while we were out of town. She periodically sent photos and videos of the animals playing while we were away, which adds a bit of comfort. She is a trustworthy companion for our animals and I’d recommend her service.”
6. Ashley T.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, big and small. While I can’t have a dog due to my current living situation, I still occasionally dog sit for family and friends. I also have some experience in giving medications throughout the day. During the week I work a pretty consistent 8-4, but on those days I can do a little in the mornings and a decent amount in the evenings. During the weekends, I’m pretty wide open and can give more time to pet/ house sitting. I’m quite flexible when it comes to adapting to the specific needs of a pet. My home is currently unable to board other pets beside my cat unfortunately.
7. Stari A.
“Stari has been a phenomenal addition to my life in terms of caring for my beloved pets. For nearly 4 years, Stari has consistently shown up and provided incredible attention, care, and kindness to myself and my pets. Stari watches my cat and dog while I’m away from home, which is quite often due to my work as a paramedic. I feel safe when I know my fur babies are with Stari. I’m so grateful!”
8. Christopher C.
“Very nice and the dogs were tired.”
9. Christina D.
“Christina has watched my number one gal, Huckleberry, while I travel for work since she was a pup, and Huck just turned 9. Christina is quick to respond with a text when I check in, and sometimes surprises me with a photo of them playing at the beach or hiking through the woods. I can't recommend her enough! It is hard to find reliable, kind people these days, and Christina is a true-blue gem.”
10. Emma H.
“Emma is super flexible and great with dogs! She was extremely helpful and very communicative. I would definitely use her services again! 5 stars”
11. Hailey R.
About: My home is near many trails and outdoor recreation spots. I have local references for house sitting. I can accommodate dogs of all life stages as well as dogs with special needs or diets. I would be happy to send you photos of your dog during their stay. If you would like housesitting- I can also provide housekeeping. I charge an hourly rate to clean and can provide references if there are any chores you would like me to handle while you are away. I am also a trusted local Realtor serving Humboldt County. My schedule is somewhat flexible. I can accommodate pick up or drop off for an additional fee. Let me know your situation and I can work with you. I have a fenced area with rock landscaping.
