About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I’m passionate about providing top-notch, personalized care for your furry family members. Whether it's a playful pup, a senior companion, or a pet with special needs, I tailor my approach to meet their unique requirements. What sets me apart: -Flexible Care: I’m happy to stay with your pet all day if needed, ensuring they get constant companionship and attention, whether you're at work or away. -Medication Administration: Experienced in giving pets oral meds, injections, and other treatments as needed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. -Puppy Training: Helping puppies with the basics like housebreaking and socialization, all with positive reinforcement methods. -Senior Pet Care: I understand the needs of older pets, providing gentle walks, extra comfort, and ensuring they receive their medication on time. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I’ll treat them like my own—providing a safe, caring, and enriching environment in your absence. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I work part-time from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. Whether it's during the day for a midday walk, some playtime, or extended care while you're away, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. In my home, your pet will feel like part of the family. I have two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends, so if your pet enjoys socializing, they’ll have a blast together! We have a small, secure fenced front yard where they can safely play and explore. Plus, I'm always happy to take them to local beaches, parks, or walking trails for fun outdoor adventures. If your pet prefers to stay in their own environment, that’s absolutely fine too! I can come to your home and provide as much care as needed, whether it’s for short visits or staying overnight. I’m flexible and will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved, sticking to their regular routine while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet's well-being and will always adapt to their unique needs, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have lots of personal experience with cats, dogs, birds, and lizards. I have fostered kittens last summer and help raise puppies with my aunt. I treat all animals with the respect they deserve and am well with directions. I often have as much energy to burn as the pets i watch so it’s perfect for playtime. I am completely flexible with hours and am more than happy to take care of animals as long as possible. Im available weekends and holidays. I will provide exemplary care to any and all pets under my watch. I will entertain and provide attentive company for them while in your home. I will maintain respect and care while in your space.

“So great to meet you! I appreciate your showing up prepared and asking all these great questions. Really made me feel comfortable as a newcomer to the app. Terra’s picture made me laugh. Thanks again 💕 Terra & Kaylin”


About: There's something about cats and small dogs that just resonate. I have grown up and lived with a variety of animals: cats, pittie mix, small dogs, birds, and I vibe the strongest with cat energy (small dogs are also cats). I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms and word of mouth, and new to rover!. If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, look no further :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have have plenty of time to bond. I will make sure they feel like someone loving and safe is still around while you are on your trip away. Excepting the other Rover sits, I work on a contract and freelance schedule, so my schedule is relatively flexible. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work. Even if I'm fully booked, go ahead and reach out and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their lead and it works!

About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time. I have had my own pets since I was young and have been taking care of other peoples’ pets for around five years. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and fish. I have a fairly open schedule and can make sure your pet is getting the care and attention that they need to be happy and healthy. I will make sure your pet is thoroughly cared for by following your pets’ routines and by providing food, water, and activity. I will also provide constant communication with you about your pet.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets since middle school. I’ve pet sat for them while they are on vacation or dropped in when their pets need some extra care and they are busy at work. I have had many critters of my own including cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. I have experience feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing cats and dogs. I am a full time college student leaving me without much time for a traditional job. I have school in-person Monday-Friday. Though my classes are over 4 hours apart and mostly only an hour long with lots of time to check in on your pets or take them out for a walk. I don’t have another job at the moment, so my weekends are also free for pet care and pet sitting works great for me since in between walks and meals I can usually catch up on some schoolwork while still looking after your furry loved ones. I am available for stop by check-ins/feedings, house-sitting, and frequent walks. My top priority is always your pets safety and comfort. I will always treat your pets, homes, and your own wishes with the most respect. I have multiple roommates with their own pets and am unable to board your pets in my own home. Though I am available for pet care in your home as well as available to take them out for walks around your neighborhood or on adventures like to the beach, or on a hike depending on your preference and what you are comfortable with.

About: I've been a dependable care provider for many dogs in the past few years and really love what I do! Dog boarding is one of my main services and your pooch will be very tended to between myself and my roommate! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! 90% of the time while I am at work, my (also experienced dogsitter) boyfriend is home. With enough advanced notice I can be sure your dog is not left alone at all if needed, though if not otherwise specified depending on my schedule they may be alone up to 3 hours at a time. I am great at reading animal behavior and making sure your pet is comfortable. I also make sure to adhere to your guidelines carefully when caring for your pet. I'm experienced with animals who have separation anxiety and issues eating when in a new environment so you can rest assured they are as comfortable as possible!

About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

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 own a 7 acre property that is a short drive up Fickle Hill Rd in Arcata! It includes a private trail with access to the community forest and a very large fenced in yard. I have a 1 year old female German Shepherd (Sabine) who is very well trained and LOVES to play with other dogs. I’ve been working with animals my entire life but started officially dog sitting and walking about 10 years ago! I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and feel comfortable and confident in my care abilities. Locally I have done in home care both long term and short term. Now that I have this large property I would like to do more of a doggy day care! I am capable of providing training, grooming, as well as daily exercise and enrichment activities!

I offer care from my home where I have a very large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. As well as a large dog friendly home for those rainy days. All plants and trees on the property are dog safe! I also have a private trail that is connected to the community forest trails where I take Sabine (my dog) for daily walks. Sabine also loves the beach so we do take weekly trips out to the dunes in Samoa! I’m a dog lover and feel that I am very attuned to understanding the way they communicate. Your dog will look forward to playing around the property and spending time in the forest with Sabine and I!

About: I am an all-around animal lover and always have been. I am very sensitive to an animal's needs, and want to make sure your animal is happy. Having a large car, I would love to take your dog for long walks around the community forest, the marsh, or around the local park. I'm currently working part time, so I have high flexibility and availability for taking care of your dog or cat. Weekdays are preferred, but I am also available on weekends if needed. I have a small studio apartment that would be most appropriate for boarding a small dog or cat. I also love walks and would be willing to take your pup for a walk in the community forest nearby, the nearby park, marsh, beach, etc. Caring for your animal is my top priority.

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 afternoons/night activities on most days but can work with you to do mornings! 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 🐾

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 🐾❤️”

Graciela P.
“Graciela is the BEST pet sitter and dog walker I could ever ask for. She took care of my old guy Duke every August when I went to Sturgis for 7 days, she stayed at my home and handled his need, which in later years, was extensive medication needs twice a day, plus all the love of family. She also cared for him other times, at least 3 a year when I traveled out of state for a week. He was always cared for very well and I could vacation in peace knowing she was there with him. She cared for our other dog, Youk, as well, until we lost him. She now helps walk our new puppy and look in on him while we are at work. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that Graciela is there. You can't go wrong trusting her with your pets!”


Ezra H.
“I have hired Ezra a few times and I was definitely pleased my dogs loved her and they were always happy to see her when she arrived at my home. I found her to be very responsible and respectful.”
