“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!”


“Neil and Mariah both took such great care of Goose :) they sent me pictures and videos of him to show me he was fitting in really well with their little pack of pups. Goose is high energy, so I’m always nervous to leave him, but they helped me feel at ease leaving him with them, I definitely recommend them!”


“Negin was an excellent caretaker for our pup. Our dog can have some separation anxiety and she immediately warmed up to her. Negin was very responsive, a great communicator, and someone I would readily hire again and recommend.”


“Francisca was absolutely amazing with Dot! She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. Dot came home very happy after spending the afternoon playing at the beach and getting lots of love and attention :) we will definitely be using Francisca again for all our doggy daycare / boarding needs !!”


“It was our first time using rover, and I imagine all the well reviewed sitters are well intentioned and experienced/caring people. Sonja was no different. She and her husband Mike are extremely kind and accommodating, attentive and very communicative. She cared for our puppy Mabel through the end of her first heat, and while we were away we felt that Mabel was well taken care of and minimized any stress we had while we were out of the country. Sonja's facilities were the deciding factor for us when choosing a sitter. She has a beautiful 2 acre fenced property which doubles as a doggy day care. Mabel was able to run around and socialize with her new friends and had a great time. It was exactly what we thought Mabel needed. Sonja put us at ease and that was such a huge relief for us while we were away. Thank you again.”

From short walks to long-term stays, I provide trusted, loving care with the discipline and reliability you’d expect from someone with a military background. Your pets are family, and I’m here to give them the attention and devotion they deserve! As a military veteran with a flexible schedule, I’m available every day to meet your pet’s needs! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or extended care, I adapt to your schedule with precision and care, ensuring your furry friends are happy and well-loved. I offer a pet-friendly haven with a secure, fenced-in backyard in a safe neighborhood, perfect for playtime and relaxation. My two older, friendly dogs love making new pals and are crate-trained for cozy, shared downtime. Your pets will feel right at home with us!

About: With over 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—from puppies and older dogs to cats, rodents, and even birds. I’m skilled in administering medications and providing personalized care, no matter the breed or age. Growing up with a variety of animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. My patience, knowledge, and love for all animals set me apart, ensuring your pets are not only cared for but truly comforted. Pet care is my top priority, and I’m available almost full-time to meet your needs. I’m only busy two days a week, so the rest of my time is dedicated to providing focused, attentive care for your pets. With a flexible schedule, I’m ready to ensure your pets are well-cared for whenever you need! Most of my services are provided in my clients’ homes, where pets are comfortable in their own space. I offer drop-ins and dog walks, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. While I don’t have a yard, I live in a pet-friendly community with great walking spots, and I’ll take dogs out every 1-2 hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. For boarding, I’d follow the same routine, offering regular walks and playtime. If clients have a fenced yard, I make full use of that space for outdoor activities and fun.

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: Friends call my home a dog retreat and relaxation center. It's a quiet, country setting with room to run, plenty to explore, and comfortable lounging. I've been fostering dogs and puppies with Redwood Pals Rescue for years and am a vetted volunteer with the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. I'm happy to send you photos or videos of how your dog's doing and feel free to text/call for updates anytime. I work from home most of the time. Dogs love the country routine and seem to relax here. I live rurally, in Southern Humboldt, but can meet for drop-offs and pick-ups in the Redway/Garberville area or the Arcata/Eureka/McKinleyville area or anywhere in between. For stays less than 4 days, I'll ask that we add the pick-up/drop-off fee. I have a large fenced yard, dog doors to come in and out of the house, and different areas to keep dogs separate, if needed. I usually keep new dogs separated from mine till they get to know each other and show that they like each other. I also have baby gates and can use dog crates inside if needed. I have hosted a lot of foster dogs and puppies for the Rescue and retreats for dogs from the Animal Shelter and have participated in numerous trainings with professional animal trainers and behaviorists. I know when I have to be away from my dogs that they need a kind person to hang out with, some fun, and a comfortable place to hangout till I can come back for them.

“My experience with Miranda was great! She’s a sweet person and did great with my doggie. She was quick to respond to my messages and kept me informed about my dog during her stay. I will definitely ask her first the next time I need a sitter.”


“Melissa and Alan did a great job hosting our German Shepherd/Siberian Husky cross Kachina. She had fun playing with their dogs in the forest, and they were able to administer her meds with no problems.”


“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!”

She was wonderful with him: took him on walks, send us daily updates and pictures (sometimes several times a day), took him.on car rides, etc. We felt her caring, loving animal nature right away. She is very responsible young lady and will definitely use her services again. .”
Stafford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jess cared for my hound dog for four days and treated her as if she were her own dog! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was super attentive to Luna’s needs. Jess has ducks and quails and a lovely corgis named Logan, needless to say, Luna was never bored and she was exhausted from her adventure when I picked her up😊 Jess gave us some fresh veggies and quail eggs too! Will definitely be bringing Luna back and I’m sure she can’t wait!
