Pet Sitting in Rio Dell

“Thanks for taking care of our cats when we were out. Heather sent us updates which made us miss our little cats a little less. Will definitely recommend Heather to take care of your pets.”

About: I started a self made rehabilitation center in my parents back yard (age 14) specializing in rehabilitating and rehoming exotic birds. As most kids I’ve taken care of chickens, rodents, and of course I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. A few years ago I started pet sitting for family and friends. I’m from the Sierra Nevada foothills, currently in Humboldt. I have very open availability. I have no problem spending nights, or doing drop in visits. Feel free to ask me questions or concerns you may have and I’ll do my best to answer them for you. I have a fenced in back yard. Both my dogs are crate trained, but prefer cuddling me at night. I take very careful care of their diets and walk them daily mostly at the park or beach.

“Sam was able to fit my pup into his schedule pretty last minute, which was a life saver for me. This was my first time using Rover & I’m glad that I was able to book with Sam. Had a quick meet & greet the day prior that left me feeling like my pup Pickle was in good hands. Sam was very communicative about what him & my pup did during the 2 drop-in visits today. Overall, a great experience & I will book with Sam next time I have to leave my fur baby alone again!”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Zalie was awesome. We have two dogs, one is nervous around people and she was very cautious of her space. It was piece of mind knowing our dogs were in good care. She was very attentive and active in checking in and the overall process. We definitely recommend Zalie and we look forward to having her for future visits.”

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. 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.

“Whenever I was Chip's houseguest while he was caring for a little dog named Roxy, I was impressed that Chip was always attentive, loving and caring for the little dog. Roxy was well fed and exercised and seemed completely at home. She was brushed and bathed on a regular basis. Chip was taking care of the dog while the dogs owner was fighting Cancer. Roxy had the run of the house, her own bed, a patio where she could enjoy the sun during the day and an outside meadow to commune with other dogs. I bet she thought she was on vacation!”

“Miranda did a fantastic job! When we got back, our cats seemed very relaxed and she kept their litter area very tidy as well. Miranda even made sure to take photos and make “report cards” as well. Very happy we hired her and will definitely do so again in the future!”

“Maria did such a great job taking care of my two cats. I give them lots of attention, and I know they got plenty of love while I was gone. Everything was perfect when I came back, and I already have her booked for another trip!”

“I worked with Sophia as a fellow Animal Caregiver. Sophia has a great respect, love and compassion for all animals. She is dependable, punctual, honest and an utmost responsible and loving dog caregiver. She holds my complete trust in her dog caregiving abilities.”

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 :)

“So happy! I’ve come home to happy, healthy, better behaved dogs! Great communication! I loved the photos and video updates! Definitely recommend! Two thumbs up! All 3 dogs are happy and in great moods; and my anxiety is at an all time low!! Would definitely recommend and hopefully work with in the future! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“Kristen is amazing with animals! She has taken great care of my dog and my dog loved her! She’s reliable and compassionate toward any animals. She been respectful and easy to work with. You can count on her and your animals will love her!”

“My house was secure and my kittens well taken care of. I was very grateful to have Ellen watching my cats and checking on my home.”

“Kate did a great job with my 2 slightly needy kittehs when I was out of town for a weekend. Cats don’t always need attention if it’s just for a night or two, but since I was gone from early Friday until late Sunday, I wanted them to have a couple visits. Food, water, litterboxes, meds, & playtime (plus cute pics thereof)… I came home to significantly less whiny floofs than if I’d left them home alone all weekend, & I felt a lot better about it too. Good communication from Kate throughout. I’d definitely recommend her & will reach back out to her myself next time Mercutia & Maeve need some TLC.”

“Amy is a kind and loving person who will take good care of your dogs or cats. She has 3 dogs and two cats of her own. I highly recommend Amy for your pet needs.”

“Mady is very patient and loving towards my dog and always puts my dog’s needs before anything else. She absolutely loves my dog and I highly recommend you consider her to take care of your pets!”

“I have known Elaine for 35 years, during which time she has always been a total pet-lover and has always had at least one dog and/or one cat. She derives her skills at pet-care not only from this expansive experience with pets, but also, as a long-time RN (now retired), from her care and concern for two-legged creatures as well! She is perfectly suited for this role!”

“I’ve had Brittany watch my elderly Labrador on several occasions. She has cared for him over night and taken him in walks when my schedule did not permit me to do so. I appreciate how well my dog responds to her, timeliness, and flexibility in the working with my schedule. Highly recommend.”
