“Jessica was amazing! Her place is literally a dogs paradise and Julius had the best time. When we arrived, Jessica gave us a lay of the land and asked great questions to get a feel for Julius’s personality as there were other dogs there as well. Julius and her Corgi are new besties and I’ll definitely be rebooking with Jessica next time I’m in town!”


“It seems my nervous dog was very comfortable (and even playful!) with Neil, Mariah, and their dog posse. In fact, he couldn’t wait to greet Neil at the door this last trip. I’m very happy to have found them, and it will be a relief to know Linny is in loving hands during future trips.”


“Miranda did a fantastic job taking care of my anxious pug for a two-night boarding. My boy can get pretty crazy but Miranda didn’t report any problems and said he got along great with her dogs. I’m sure he had fun because he’s been asleep since he got home. Miranda walked him, played with him, took care of him and gave him lots & lots of love. I was very lucky to find this boarder & I highly recommend her.”

“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!”


“Our dog had a great stay at Will's house. He enjoyed the outdoors and playing with Will's dog. Will was flexible about our return time since we had a long drive. We will use Will again!”


“Halley was so nice & communicative throughout Micah's stay (~5 days). They spent plenty of time outside and even went to an event at the beach. When Micah came home he was tired & content. I definitely recommend Halley if you're looking for someone to care for your pet.”

About: I have always been an animal lover since childhood and have taken care of a variety of pets of all sizes! I've helped raise puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped train good walking, bathing, and bathroom habits. Most animals respond very well to me. Also being a bigger person I have no trouble dealing with larger dogs. Very experienced in all areas of pet care. I am at home this summer until my college classes start in the fall to continue my degree in early childhood education. Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. Drop by mid-day walks anytime I'm available! I have a lot of availability and would love to spend my time with animals giving them quality care and attention. I am more than happy to watch your pets while you are away on vacation or gone for the day. I Can do drop bys or overnights depending on your preference and your animals needs. I have a large fenced yard that is great for animals if you need boarding. I have reliable transportation to get to and from. I can take them on walks in your neighborhood or go to a local dog park if you prefer. Very open to working with what is best for your animal. I have my own dogs at home but will leave them there while caring for your animal(s) unless you would like the socializing. We have two friendly larger male dogs that love to meet new dogs if you are interested in doggy day care or boarding. Our home has a large size dog door for pets to access the house at their convenience.

“I needed to board two of my cats and am so happy to have found Kyra. Since they are indoor/outdoor cats it didn't feel right to kennel them at a veterinarian boarding location. At Kyra's they had the entire living room and were able to sleep on the couch. The cats were happy when I picked them up even though they couldn't go outdoors for obvious reasons. I highly recommend Kyra and would book her again for boarding or housesitting once my old cats have accepted the new ones.”


“While Callie was happy to see me she wasn’t shaking and panicky like she usually is when we get her from boarding kennels which tells me she was well taken care of. Melissa kept me updated every night and made me feel very at ease entrusting her with my fur baby’s care. I will definitely go to Melissa in the future whenever I’m in the humboldt area!”

“No doubt, I would come to Serjio again for all my pet sitting needs! My dog usually doesn’t like strangers but they clicked instantly. I was amazed at how well my dog was doing in his care! I fully expected behavioral issues due to my dog’s anxiety but Serjio said he did great and I think that’s all because of how well Serjio handles pets. He updated me with pictures of them playing and assured that my pup was doing just fine while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of my Ralphie!”

“Could not have been better. Amy clearly loves animals - her own menagerie as well as her boarders. She was very flexible on drop-off and pick-up arrangements and communicated well before, during, and after Winston's stay. She regularly sent short videos, which were entertaining and reassuring (as this was his first extended Boarding experience). Highly recommended. Thanks Amy!”
