Melissa was amazing with our dog, Oakley! She paid great attention to the medical needs she has and took extra care with making sure we felt comfortable while we were gone. I always loved the updates and photos she provided. You could see Oakley was just as happy as we were to have Melissa watch her! I definitely will rebook with her for any future Rover needs!

About: I understand how important your animals are to you and I will guarantee their happiness when I'm with them. I can do house calls, watch them overnight, bring them to the lake, run them with my bike and take them on a hike. The best part about Tahoe is how dog friendly it is! I'm also good with cats, birds, mice/ rats, snakes, fish, hedgehogs, ferrets and hamsters. I grew up with pets and have a cat of my own and a 95 pound mixed rescue named Moose. They're my world. As your pet sitter I guarantee happiness, love and health for your precious animals. I also babysit if you'd like me to do both! I'm a local to town with plenty of references. Always feel free to ask me any questions. I currently work part time, but am happy to accommodate as my work is usually mid day! I can come by in the mornings and after four. I have a very loving but firm way with animals. Lots of cuddles, some treats, and training happens every day at my home! My pets are very happy, and yours will be too.

I am pleased to provide a recommendation for Kris. We began using him to walk our two dogs when he was in middle school and as he got older we used him to house-sit and care for our pets (2 dogs and 2 cats), sometimes for several weeks at a time as we traveled. He is wonderful. He is always reliable, responsible and respectful and is really terrific with all our pets. We tease him that he is the "Pet Whisperer". I highly endorse him and would be happy to provide even more specific examples of the way he has provided pet care for us, even when our old dog could no longer use his back legs, Kris was so gentle and caring with him.

I can’t think of a better person than Marian to watch your pets! They are one of those people that animals are just drawn to. They’ve been helping with my cats for years and I’ve also lived with them while they’ve watched other animals. They are diligent and responsible with animals while also providing so much love and respecting animals’ boundaries. Marian is great at picking up on behavior cues and will take their time giving your animal the attention it deserves. Marian would be a great fit for anyone looking for help with their pet!

AmMathee is very reliable and trustworthy. She cares for my dog as if she’s her own pet. She knows how to comfort a pet that has anxiety when their owner is away, and has experience with dogs that need a little more attention such as medication, and mobility issues. I love that she sends me updates and photos if I request them.

I can't recommend Maddie enough! She was incredibly reliable, punctual, and truly cares for the dogs she walks. My furry friends Cinnamon and McKee (who have both since passed away) absolutely adored her, and I always felt at ease knowing they were in good hands.

Debra has been a friend and house and dog-sitter for me for a number of years. She is THE BEST!! She is totally responsible and caring and Remy (my pup) loves her. After she house/dog sits when I've been away, when I return and she leaves, Remy runs into the guest bedroom every morning to look for her for days.

Dana is amazing!!! She checked in on my cats during the holidays while I was out of town. She always showed up at the house at exactly the time she said she would, and she sent the cutest photos of my cats to me. She gave them lots of love and attention, and everything at the house was clean and kept up nicely when we returned home. She always responded to texts immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing the cats were being cared for by someone trustworthy. Highly recommend her services!

Christopher was incredibly well received by our fur babies to start with, which is always the most important thing for me when someone is stepping in for me during an absence. I will say that this is the first time that they have been left with anyone outside of my immediate family and I had no problems outside of me being incredibly nervous. Not only was he received well by all of the animals, but he also provided frequent check-ins and pictures, and went as far as to provide tips based on his own observations in interacting with them. I had no question that he was treating them as if they were his own, so thank you Christopher! I will definitely be looking out for his availability for future pet-sitting needs!

About: I have always been an animal lover. I spent six years working with animals full time in pet grooming salons and dog daycares, providing overnight care for our dog clients in my home, housesitting in their homes, and making mid-day visits for walks. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. My current job is not related to animals, but I work from my laptop and have flexible hours. In my free time I love learn and practice dog training with my own dog. **I love dogs and cats, but I also have a wide variety of experience with small pets and livestock of all sizes!** Whether housesitting in your home or hosting your dog in my home, my schedule allows me to be with your pet close to 24/7, which is great for puppies, elderly pets, pets with separation anxiety, and the pet who is used to being spoiled. I offer dog boarding and dog daycare in my home, located in McKinleyville on 1.5 acres. We also share our property with my eight month old Boston Terrier, a dog savvy indoor/outdoor cat, and free range chickens. For boarding and daycare, a quick meet-and-greet is required before hand. Dog guests are typically kept on leash until I know they can be trusted to not chase the chickens, but we can still enjoy the yard in the mornings and evenings when the chickens are sleeping. I am available for visits to your home of any length while you're away, whether that is for an hour during the day while you're at work or social events, or extended stays while you're out of town. My well behaved eight month old Boston Terrier who is available daytime visits if your pet would enjoy her company. For overnight housesitting, a meet-and-greet is required before hand as she would be joining in your home. I also have special experience with elderly dog care, dogs with mobility issues, giving medication, puppies, dog training and maintaining good habits, grooming, cats, and grooming cats! Did I miss something? Just ask! My day job is full time, remote, and very flexible, so whether your pet is in my home and I am in your home, I will be keeping them company. Other than a couple of evening dog training classes, I don't have many away from home obligations that would leave your pet or home unattended. In the rare times I need to leave my home or yours during our time together, dogs are welcome to join me in the car, weather permitting, or can be kennel in my home or yours, follow your usual routine, etc. I am used to and love the constant companionship of pets. I have a lot of experience managing dog's needs in and out of the house. If you have specific routines, rules, and exercise plans you follow with your pet, I will happily follow them. I will treat your pet like they are my own when they are in my care, and to me that means making them feel safe and loved.

When it comes to caring for animals, there are few people out there who can compare with Molly. She has an immense capacity for love of all animals, coupled with an extreme attention to detail, make her an ideal caregiver for your pet. She is accommodating to all animal needs, and is very careful with precise instructions. A very responsible, and respectful person, I feel comfortable leaving her with my animals anytime. Highly recommend Molly for any of your animals needs.

About: I grew up having cats and dogs my whole life. I adopted my own cat in August of 2023, which has been the best experience of my life! I love all animals and would love to help other busy pet owners! 💛 I work part time, usually early mornings since I work in coffee. I’m usually off work by 1/2pm, and have weekends off! I have my own cat at home as well but my roommates would be more than happy to watch her if overnight care is needed. I am willing to accommodate to most any pet needs. My goal is to make your fur baby comfy and happy, whether it’s in their own home or mine. My cat is absolutely spoiled and I will treat your animals the same!
