“Heather was absolutely wonderful. She stayed with my dog for a week after he had surgery and took such good care of him. She was communicative and went way over and above. I traveled for work for years and have had so many Rover experiences, and she is the BEST. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Elizabeth was great! My dog was well taken care of and I was getting updates daily along with pictures! I will be booking again!”
“We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter then Zalie. I can't say enough good things, she took great care of our senior Border Collie. When we returned home after 4 nights, the place was exactly as we had left it. We highly recommend Zalie, she is truly a professional and tops in her field. Both my wife and I look forward to having her back the next time we leave town.”
About: I have grown up with a wide range of animals from chihuahuas that we rescued, multiple Great Pyrenees, pregnant cats, kittens, and two parakeets that lived for many years. I am currently traveling and am open to most places, schedules and situations. I like to go with the flow but also stick to a schedule once made. I will follow all schedules and rules provided for you animals. I understand strict diets and allergies as I have them too! Hah I will respect your home and keep tidy.
“Kylie sat for my cat while I was out of town for a month. That's a long pet sit when many things could go wrong. But they didn't, for the most part. Kylie took good care of my cat and was very respectful of my home. I will use Kylie again.”
About: Much of my animal experience comes from not only owning but also veterinary experience, grooming, daycare and volunteer work! Loving animals is dream job 🫶🏽 Currently, I have a flexible schedule for you and your fur babies convince! (: Prefer morning activities but can work with afternoon and night shifts I am familiar with dog/cat behavioral traits and characteristics through years of experience in order to more comfortably and safely interact with your paw-pals 🐾
About: Some previous work experience (6 months) with the Sequoia Humane Society where I worked hands on with cats and dogs with various personalities and temperaments. Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.
About: I have been a sitter for 4 years for friends and neighbors. My care has included walking, potty breaks, overnight care, and more! I’ve lived with Dobermans my whole life and am capable of care for any dog of any size! I am a full time student at Cal Poly humboldt, my classes are in the morning and I am completely open in afternoons, weekends and holidays! I am active and love to play with animals!! My dogs at home are escape artists so I know how to avoid an escape due to fences. I have kennel trained multiple of my dogs and prefer to use kennels for bigger dogs.
“Thor house sat our two dogs while we took an extended trip. His communication was excellent and the dogs were very well cared for and loved. He even provided “report cards” on each dog which were both adorable and helpful. I would definitely use him again and give an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone!!”
“Lena is the best. I never worry about my Loki when he is in her care. She went to another level this weekend when she scaled a fence to safely retrieve him after he decided to go on his own little adventure. I truly cannot say enough great things about her attitude and love for animals, not to mention the respect and patience she has for their owners (haha!). I never feel in the dark about anything while I’m away, she’s honest and super responsive. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!”
About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.
“Janelle was wonderful with our dog and two cats. She handled our anxiety ridden dog with great care and patience, and apparently her lap was a magnet to the cats. We would feel confident in hiring Janelle for any of our needs in the future. She cleans houses as well, so we came home to a shiny, spotless kitchen and more!”
“Channing was great! She provided updates on the dogs throughout the weekend and was a very good house guest. You can tell she loves animals! We’ll definitely be booking her again when we’re out of town!”
“Michael was a wonderful house sitter for my pets (dog and cat) while I was out of town. He sent pictures of them daily and took my dog Juno for daily walks as well. I would definitely use him again next time I go on a trip!”
About: I have had experience in pet care for about 10 years, I was a volunteer at Miranda’s Rescue for a while and gained tons of knowledge from that! But growing up with all the pets me and my family have and had helped me learn the most. I learned a variety of skills that make me a great pet caregiver. I have been a pet sitter and walker for my friends and family but hope to expand to more clientele. I have such an enthusiastic passion for animals and my goal is to someday have a great career that includes all sorts of animals. I just graduated high school last month and am on a gap year before attending college, I have lots of free time and hope to use it for all those who are in need of my services! I have worked with many dogs and cats that are nervous around new people and I am always sure to acknowledge that the animals know that I am just a guest in their home and do everything in my power to make them feel the most comfortable around me.
About: Hi, I'm Emilia. ✨👋🏽✨ Thank you for your interest. I am a lifelong animal lover. When I was little I used to rescue animals without owners and bring them to my house until we found them a home that loved them. I have had rabbits, thousands of dachshunds, cats, talking birds, green iguanas and a white mouse that I rescue from being eaten by a snake. Currently I have 3 dogs, Toby is 9 years old, we rescued him from a kennel in Oregon and then we have 2 Argentinean sisters that we brought from Argentina 🥰 they are all sweet and they are trained. I would love to be able to step in and take care of other people's animals. I have been taking care of dogs that weigh from 20 to 100 pounds! I can walk (forest / park / beach), feed, play with your puppies, take him to the vet and give them all the attention and love they need. I am willing to go the extra mile and will attend to your needs. ✨🤍🙌 * All guidelines and rules for your home and for the care of your dog will be followed. Please let me know in detail. ** All dogs / pets will be on a leash for all walks at all times unless otherwise requested *** I will need to know if your puppies cannot be left alone at all and must be with me at all times during longer homestays. Additional charges may apply. *** ALL PRICES AND DETAILS CAN BE DISCUSSED. I am an artistic entrepreneur and my studio is in my house, so my schedule is quite open and adaptable 😉 I am able to check-ups, walks and overnight stays in on your pups on a regular basis. I can work with YOUR schedule! 📅 I am very excited to connect with you and your pets. I have a spacious house, with a large and fenced backyard, your fur babies will have enough space to play. I always like to familiarize myself with the client's home/yard/neighborhood! Especially for the naughty ones! I love taking them on walks on the beach or in the woods. If your dog is trained we can go to the dog park. 🐾 If you want to spend the night, I can also water your plants 🪴 ✨💚
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 5 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, exercise and take care of their animals. Overnights are not always going to be accepted for me on weekends due to hunting season and having animals of my own. I’ll be able to accept any times during the week due to being laid off. Cash payment is always welcome to save money 😁 I love playing fetch with dogs and giving cats all the scratches they want and desire haha. I am used to spoiled animals so your animals will definitely get the exercise they need. I am also able to crate dogs if needed.
About: I have had cats and dogs for my whole life, and currently have three cats, and a giant breed dog who I have trained since he was a puppy. I care very strongly about the welfare and happiness of pets, and want to take the best care of them possible. I am good at following instructions and I take my responsibilities seriously. I above all want to make sure that people are happy with my services. I have been accepted to a foreign exchange program that has now been deferred to January, as they were unable to find a host family in the country. So until then my schedule is completely free and flexible. I have a great pyrenees akita mix who weighs about 110 pounds, who I trained from a puppy. I also have three cats, plus a family of friendly strays who live in the back yard. I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life and will do a great job of pet sitting and dog walking. I will do all I can to make sure your pets are very happy and follow any special instructions that you may have regarding their care.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid bottle-feeding my family's kitten and training our puppy to heel. I'm always excited when neighbors and friends ask me to watch their pets, and go the extra mile to make sure they don't feel lonely or bored while their people are away. I can keep up with detailed schedules and don't mind the "gross" chores of cleaning up messes and administering medication. I keep my schedule pretty loose and flexible, and am able to make room for availability. Feel free to contact me for more specifics or to discuss any openings. I am always sure to let a pet get used to me, my scent, and my presence when I first meet them. Their comfort and safety is my priority, and I will put in extra effort to learning the details of how they need to be cared for.
About: Experienced and flexible. Well reviewed! Happy to provide references. I volunteered at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary all through my High School years in Austin TX. There isn't much I can't handle but I'm also aware dogs can have different personalities and different needs. I'd love to cater to your pet specifically! I am 100% self employed, and a part time stay-at-home pet/ plant dad! I'd love to make time to care for your pets as well! Obviously your pets are top priority but please let me know what I can do to keep your home safe and sound as well :)

Skylar M.
“Skylar did an amazing job watching after our two bengal cats while we were out of town. Our cats eat a special diet and she happily accepted the challenge. You can tell she is a true animal lover based on the time she would spend with our boys everyday while we were gone. We loved getting pictures and updates on how they were doing over the week. We came home to two very happy bengals. Would absolutely have her pet sit for us again. Highly recommend 🐾❤️”

“We have had Asher watch our very sweet, needy kitty. She loves people and constant companionship. Asher is so gentle and attentive with her.

Over 14 pet parents in Rio Dell have booked house sitting
Rio Dell pet parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter than Ms Zalie. My 3 dogs are my life and love their mom a little too much so when I’m gone it causes stress to all of us. When she is watching them I am stress free and can actually enjoy my vacation.
I can't give Zalie enough stars! This was my first time using Rover for house sitting. I was terribly anxious as this would also be my first time leaving my pet with someone for a few days. I can't thank Zalie enough for her kindness and commitment. Zalie showed up early, stayed late, sent me a ton of photos every day and kept me in the loop about day to day activities. I'm so grateful for Zalie being a best pal to my little guy whilst I was out of town. If you need a pal for your pet, don't hesitate!
I would love to give a not so great review so Zalie doesn’t get too booked for us 🤣 but I can’t do that. She was amazing from first contact to the end of her stay. Our pack was so happy and they were well cared for! We are new to this area and leaving behind our other pet sitter was hard. I’m very picky because our animals are not just pets but family. So finding Zalie is going to make it easier to get to do a few things dog free. Thank you Zalie 100 star rating!!
Maria has been an absolute godsend for our sweet Taffy! She’s cared for Taffy on several occasions, always punctual and completely reliable. Her genuine warmth and attentive care put my mind at ease from the moment I leave. Maria’s thoughtful updates (and adorable photos!) give me total confidence that Taffy is happy and safe. She’s professional, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her highly enough—five stars all the way!
