Cat Sitting in Riverside Park

“We had Kate take care of our kitties recently and she did a great job! Her communication is fantastic, and she's very responsive, which is what you want in a pet sitter. She followed our instructions and didn't hesitate to reach out if there was a question (another good trait for a pet sitter). We plan on using her services again, and you should too!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s taking energetic pups on long walks, giving belly rubs and playtime, or providing extra TLC to senior pets, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to special routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a passion, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. My little dog, Cranberry, is also one of friendliest small dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of being mom to and I bet ya, your dog will love her as much as I do ✨ I love to go above and beyond for my clients. For any home visits/stays, I shall respect your space, your rules, and wishes.

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.

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!!

About: 🐾 Hello, I'm Channing! 👋🏽 Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs.

I've successfully pet-sat for numerous cats and am skilled in administering medications. 👩🏻‍⚕️ Special Care: Share any specific needs your pets may have. I'm experienced in looking after pampered pooches, sticking to strict schedules, and addressing special needs with care. 🏡 Home Stay Considerations: If your animals require constant companionship, let me know. Additional charges may apply for longer homestays, but all prices and details are open for discussion. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your furry friends' unique needs.

About: I’m a longtime Humboldt community member (28 years), avid cyclist, and lifetime animal lover. I currently have one shelter rescue cat, Batty, who I fell in love with at the Humboldt Animal Rescue Team (HART) shelter where I volunteer every week. I have taken in many stray or abandoned dogs and cats over the course of my lifetime; always getting them their shots and a vet exam, followed up with spay/neutering, and regular vet care. I treat animals with love and kindness while being firm and consistent about behavioral expectations. I treat your pets in my care as I would my own. I can also care for birds, furry critters, some reptiles, and fish. I have always had a special affinity with cats; I’m usually the guy at the party who is in the other room playing with the cat. Pet care is all I do, so nothing interferes with the care that your pets need. Whether it’s sitting at your home or just dropping in for daily care. I can provide drop-in visits or stay at your home with your pets, not only feeding, providing fresh water, and cleaning up poop and/or litter box, but taking dogs for a walk, playtime, and providing your pets with love and attention, and assuring them that everything is ok, and that their people will be back soon. I will spend time getting to know your pets, earning their trust, and offering my friendship. I’m also available for 30-60 minute dog walks. I’m always happy to text you updates and photos while caring for your pets. I’m a member of Pet Sitters International, the association of professional pet sitters, listed as Pet Sitting Stays, LLC and insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI).

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: I've always felt proud of my ability to get along with all kinds of creatures. Growing up, I was the kid who would petsit for all my friends' families. Nowadays, I'm the proud mama of a spunky Chihuahua, a beautiful tuxedo kitty, and a quirky bearded dragon. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'd love to have an extra reason to get out of the house. Plus, walking is my favorite way to exercise. Just like us humans, no two dogs or cats are the same. So when it comes to any special needs, I always appreciate having clear directions to follow.

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 have many years of experience with working with pets of all types! I also have rescues of my own, so I understand the need to be attuned to different fur baby personality types. I am confident that your pet will be safe and loved in my care, and will strive to meet their every need as best I can. I understand how stressful it can be to trust your loved one with someone while you're away, I've been there so I have a lot of empathy for the needs of both you and your pet and I will always keep their safety as my priority. I currently work full-time every other week at the hospital, so I am available bi-weekly for pet care. I am happy to care for pets over weekends and holidays. As a responsible pet caregiver, I prioritize safety and trust in every drop-in visit and dog walk. I ensure secure leashing and appropriate handling to keep pets safe, maintain clear communication with pet owners, and provide regular updates to build confidence. By establishing a caring relationship through thorough introductions and consistent routines, I create a safe and trustworthy environment for pets and their families.
