Personalized care for your dog or cat - DeCamp

“Myah was wonderful! She and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. She sent updates and photos every day, which I really appreciated while I was away. My dog seemed happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

Aurelia R.

Christina C.

“Princess and Max are superb - they sent pictures everyday and update us on our girl’ potty and eating every single day! It makes our away time so much more enjoyable with mind at ease!”

About: Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent much of my free time learning about different breeds, canine behavior, body language, health, grooming, and training. As an adult, that passion has only grown, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love of dogs into a career. I have over eight years of professional experience working with dogs, including six years as a groomer and trainer at a boarding, grooming, and training facility, followed by two years as a professional groomer in a veterinary setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed numerous online and in-person educational programs through organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and industry conferences including the Pasadena Groom & Kennel Expo. My continuing education has included canine behavior and body language, canine CPR and first aid, breed standards and breed-specific grooming techniques, behavior modification, working safely with aggressive dogs, and training dogs with behavioral challenges. I believe there is always more to learn, and I am passionate about continuing my education so I can provide the highest level of care possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding canine body language and behavior. I am highly proficient at recognizing stress signals, fear responses, anxiety, overstimulation, excitement, and other behavioral cues. Over the years, I have worked with everything from easygoing family pets to dogs struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and other behavioral challenges. Understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way allows me to create a positive, safe, and low-stress experience tailored to each individual dog. I have also spent years fostering and grooming dogs for our local Humane Society, often taking on dogs that need extra patience, confidence-building, socialization, training, or behavioral support. Helping these dogs grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My experience as a groomer has taught me the importance of being observant and proactive. Groomers often see dogs more frequently than veterinarians and spend extended periods of time closely examining a dog's skin, coat, ears, eyes, feet, movement, and overall condition. Throughout my career, I have helped many clients identify potential concerns that later warranted veterinary attention, including food and environmental allergies, chronic skin conditions, ear infections, unusual lumps or bumps, coat changes, mobility concerns, and other health issues. While I never diagnose medical conditions, I take pride in recognizing when something appears unusual and encouraging owners to seek veterinary care. In many cases, early recognition helped owners find answers sooner and allowed their pets to receive treatment before problems became more serious or caused prolonged discomfort. I currently live on 10 acres with my three dogs: two Chihuahua mixes that I adopted as foster failures from the Humane Society and a Standard Poodle who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Thanks to my grooming experience, he is known for his creative trims and has won local Halloween costume contests. He has also participated in community events where he helped demonstrate proper grooming and brushing techniques for pet owners. His friendly, outgoing personality and love of meeting new people are a reflection of the training, socialization, and care that I believe every dog deserves. Every dog is unique, and I believe exceptional care starts with understanding each dog's individual personality, needs, and communication style. Whether your dog needs a fun place to stay, specialized handling, extra patience, or simply someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs, my goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dogs are an important part of our family's daily life, and caring for animals is already built into my routine. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, grooming as needed, and plenty of affection. Because I live on 10 acres, there is ample space for walks, exploration, and outdoor time, all while being carefully supervised. I also make it a priority to monitor each dog's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being so I can adapt activities to their individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, enjoys exploring outdoors, or prefers relaxing and receiving attention, I strive to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are always my highest priorities. Before accepting a booking, I take the time to learn about each dog's personality, routine, temperament, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. At my home, dogs enjoy a spacious country setting on 10 acres. In addition to the large property, I have secure fenced areas available for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs are never left outdoors unattended, and I closely monitor all interactions between pets to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Because of my professional background in grooming, training, fostering, and canine behavior, I pay close attention to body language and behavior at all times. I am highly skilled at recognizing early signs of stress, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or conflict and can make adjustments before situations escalate. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and at a pace appropriate for their comfort level. I understand that not every dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, and some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. For this reason, I have the ability to safely separate dogs when needed and can accommodate dogs that prefer limited interaction, require individual attention, need separate feeding arrangements, or simply do better in a quieter environment. My goal is always to set each dog up for success based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I maintain fresh water at all times, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and take precautions to ensure dogs cannot access anything unsafe. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, providing owners with additional peace of mind that their pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps reduce stress and allows pets to feel secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. Every dog is unique, and my goal is always to create a safe, structured, low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, respected, and cared for like one of my own.

“Christine and BJ took great care of Mango. She as clearly comfortable during her stay. We will reach out to Christine next time we are in the Ukiah area. Thank you!”

“Camilla was the best Rover we have had! I truly felt like our dog Timu was on vacation while we were! She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”

She gets along with most dogs. And will be a great playmate!

David T.

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies and some livestock animals. Dogs are my favorite and I have had the most experience owning and caring for them. I’m experienced with all different kinds of breeds, temperament and age dogs. I always care for them like I would my own animals (spoiled! Lol). I am currently not accepting animals in my home but am happy to do drop ins, walks and house sitting. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am almost always home and pay attention to cues that dogs need attention or to the go outside. I have one dog who is treated like a family and spoiled like a prince. Animals are allowed on the couch and to sleep in bed if you desire. There is always plenty of fresh water, treats, toys and room to play.

“Barbara was very helpful and attentive taking care of our cat. She also communicated well throughout! Highly recommend!”

Humberto T.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life. I’m fully adept at feeding cats, cleaning cat litter boxes and providing pets in exchange for purrs.

About: I've owned cats and dogs my whole life. Our current cats are brother and sister that turned 7 this past April. They were feral as kittens and now they are the most social, loving, and easy going cats. Both still have their wildness about them with being indoor outdoor cats. Out exploring during day, coming back in for afternoon naps and night time lock down.

“Alexis is the best pet sitter we’ve ever worked with. She was great with out cats…even the shy one warmed up to her. We didn’t worry for a moment. Her updates were timely and thoughtful. We would happily work with her again and again.”

Paula R.

“Rio provided us with so much peace of mind while we were away. We received multiple pictures from each visit and it looked like our cats were happy to see Rio each day.”

Ashley N.

“Angelia did a great job with my boys! She was very responsive and sent me messages with any questions. She came and played with them while I was on vacation. She took AWESOME pictures to send me everyday. She even made a cute little AI picture when I told her it was one of the boy's 1st birthday. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew my boys were in good hands! They didn't seem stressed or starved for attention when I came home, which I was so worried about. Thank you! I will be rebooking =)”

Rebecca B.

“Oliver is a gem! I couldn’t have been luckier to find such a perfect sitter and human. He is kind, genuine, attentive, my dog and cat LOVE him. Lots of detailed updates with pictures during the day, very communicative, professional, and timely. I am at ease knowing my fur family is in Oliver’s care! Highly recommend!”

Amanda B.

About: I’ve had cats since I was little, I have 4 cats at the moment. Cats are such interesting little creatures. They can be so curious and outgoing and yet other cats are not and tend to be more settled into their daily rnr and reserved. The cats we were able to rescue were feral and overbreeding constantly where we found them. We got the one female fixed recently and actually my landlord and friend was willing to adopt her to spoil her as she really wants to be an inside feline. Our four other cats live out on our farm operating as mouse security patrol, and they have done an excellent job and have room to explore on our acreage.

“Caitlin was timely with responses and check ins, we will definitely have Caitlin watch our cats again in the future!”

Abbey C.

“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”

Laurel R.

About: I’ve taken early retirement and have a lot of time in my hands. I have been pet sitting for a client with four dogs, a chihuahua , two frenchies and occasionally a German shepherd in their home. I cook their food, and I am a great housecleaner so your space will be nice when you come back home. I will take loving care of your cat or dog, only one pet at a time unless they are from the same household. I do not have any pets of my own at this time, which allows me flexibility in my schedule to be able to pet sit. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby. I took early retirement, so I will be home with the pet all day and night for whatever is needed. I have experience with senior dogs and frenchies. I am clean and considerate and love to spend time with animals. Your pet will receive personal attention and care with affection. I look forward to taking care of your pets.

“Great stay with Barbara and her two kids. They were loving and kind and took great care of Romeo while I was at work each day. Thanks for the awesome week.”

Tammy R.

“Alexis was great! My golden retriever spent a few hours with her this past weekend and had a great time. She communicated very well and was extremely helpful! Highly recommend.”

Noah L.

“I loved the updates of mg dogs and felt confident in their care with Anna. My dogs seemed tired which is perfect. They seemed very relaxed there too when I approached. I will be booking with Anna again.”

About: I’ve taken care of and loved animals my whole life. About 14 years ago though I went through the training myself to get my own dog trained and certified as a medical alert service animal and canine good citizen. I’ve continued my training journey ever since. 13 years ago I began my own dog daycare, walk and train in Fort Bragg Ca. 12 years ago we moved to Stockton Ca. where Good News Dogs thrived for 7 years. Specializing in pack walks, working dog exercise programs, balanced behavior tactics, safe socialization, basic obedience, boundary training and human pack leadership skills. I’m pleased to be back in Mendocino County and offering dog/cat sitting, dog walking and training. Let me know how I can help. I’m currently working other jobs but still have availability weekends and various hours during the week, we can find a time schedule wise that works for us all. I will care for your pet according to each pet’s specific needs and your instructions. Extra exercise, play time and I can crate them nightly if needed with an early morning release and first walk guarantee. I truly love animals and absolutely devote myself to their care and safety.

“Wonderful experience working with Myah. Even let our puppies play together. Glad to connect.”

Havilah D.

About: I have two medium-large (60+ pound) poodles, so I’m used to wrangling larger dogs. Also, I’m pretty firm about walking dogs on leash for their protection. I work from home as a freelancer and set my own schedule, so I’ve got as much or as little time as I want to spend caring for pets. I like to learn about a pet’s preferences and approach them with care to build trust. At my own home I have a fenced yard and two energetic dogs to romp around with.

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for and owning dogs, cats, iguanas, tortoises, and chickens, etc. ranging from high energy Doberman puppies to senior Staffordshire Bull Terrier dogs where daily medication was needed. Currently I own a Great Pyrenees named Winter. I have a range of experience with different animals and I'm always willing to learn more. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to check in, walk, or play with your pet. I'm available Monday through Sunday. I live in a 4 dog, 2 cat household. Our dogs are all crate trained. We have 1 Great Pyrenees, 2 Pitbulls, 1 McNabb mix and 2 cats. All get along great and play well with each other. They all get taken on daily walks since we have no fenced in yard. Everyone happy, healthy and loved.

About: I have always had dogs in my life, I grew up on a ranch with an assortment of different breeds and sizes. I have two pups of my own, Goose is our Mastiff/St. Bernard puppy and Lady is my German Shepherd. They are both rescues, super energetic (but they also will leave other dogs alone if the dog doesn’t want to play), they love every dog under the sun. Growing up I have always had the joy of watching friends, family, and neighbors furry friends. When dogs stay with me you can expect they will have a great time, they have a giant yard/pool to run and play on and in, we also go on hikes in the forest or to the Lake, frequent trips to the park, and of course they will love to explore all that Mendocino County has to offer. What can I say, I love dogs and enjoy spending everyday taking care of them :) I hope to be the dog sitter for you I am a stay at home mom with my two kids, so it is very rare the pups are ever left alone. The only time I leave the house is to pick up my son from preschool 10 min down the road. Our back yard is completely fenced and I have two very friendly dogs that they will get to play with. I treat all dogs like my own so they always get the best care possible.

At my home, dogs enjoy a spacious country setting on 10 acres. In addition to the large property, I have secure fenced areas available for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs are never left outdoors unattended, and I closely monitor all interactions between pets to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Because of my professional background in grooming, training, fostering, and canine behavior, I pay close attention to body language and behavior at all times. I am highly skilled at recognizing early signs of stress, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or conflict and can make adjustments before situations escalate. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and at a pace appropriate for their comfort level. I understand that not every dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, and some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. For this reason, I have the ability to safely separate dogs when needed and can accommodate dogs that prefer limited interaction, require individual attention, need separate feeding arrangements, or simply do better in a quieter environment. My goal is always to set each dog up for success based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I maintain fresh water at all times, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and take precautions to ensure dogs cannot access anything unsafe. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, providing owners with additional peace of mind that their pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps reduce stress and allows pets to feel secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. Every dog is unique, and my goal is always to create a safe, structured, low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, respected, and cared for like one of my own.

“Rio is amazing, was easily able to get acquainted and comfortable with my dog, and was very on top of communication. Will be continuing to work with Rio!”

“Angelia was awesome with our dogs! She stopped by the house twice while we were away for the weekend and made sure the dogs had plenty of food and water and took them out for nice long walks. She was an excellent communicator and we look forward to booking Angelia in the future. Thank you!”

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Hello my name is Mark, making sure your pup is comfortable is extremely important to me. I assure you that they will receive the attention and room to explore that they need to enjoy their time with me. During my visit, you can expect your dog to: - Go on regular walks - Receive much needed attention - Enjoy other optional (with permission) activities like runs, hikes, and visits to lake - Get plenty of belly rubs! If you are interested in allowing me to care for your pup, I generally try to set up a meet and greet before the time of the stay. This allows me to observe how your dog will be with me, get us familiarized, and for you to tell me more about them. So let me know a good day and time you would like to arrange that! Here are other things I need to know about your dog: - Is he/she potty trained? - Anxieties or behavior issues - Medical issues or previous injuries - What your dog loves to do - Feeding schedules and amounts When I’m not walking your fur babies I am enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle with our 3 dogs, 4 cats and many chickens. It’s not work hanging out with dogs and cats all day just appreciating the beautiful outdoors together. I’ve found this to be true, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”. Just the wind blowing through the trees, peace and quiet and the occasional zoomiez parade of catch the leader from the dogs. My love and I had to give up quite a few things to be able to have the animals we now have. They are part of our family unit and each serve an integrated purpose in our lives and on our off grid adventure. I would like to open up my heart to you and your pups to put in the time and effort to show you that I have made room in my heart for you and your animals. I work part time and on call for a few different ventures as I was just able to return to working partially. I wear many hats Security/school district on call/catering help/ landscaping/ full time daddy/ now get paid to love on pets. I was a full time stay at home dad with young children previously. As they are checking off milestones I’m more available to spend more time with your fur babies. Currently I work Mondays and Tuesdays performing as a security professional. The rest of the week I’m flexible and open. I’m open to switching to more dog related or cat related care solely as spending time with animals is my passion. My utmost goal is to keep your beloved pet safe(period) taking caution to other dogs and environmental hazards. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own and care for them and show them affection to their hearts content. “Trust” is such a vital component from all sides. You are entrusting me with someone that is so vital to your world that you would scour to find someone trustworthy to safeguard this very important part of your family. I understand as I have my own.

“Caitlin was so easy to work with. And my dog loved her. I would use her again.”

About: Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent much of my free time learning about different breeds, canine behavior, body language, health, grooming, and training. As an adult, that passion has only grown, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love of dogs into a career. I have over eight years of professional experience working with dogs, including six years as a groomer and trainer at a boarding, grooming, and training facility, followed by two years as a professional groomer in a veterinary setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed numerous online and in-person educational programs through organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and industry conferences including the Pasadena Groom & Kennel Expo. My continuing education has included canine behavior and body language, canine CPR and first aid, breed standards and breed-specific grooming techniques, behavior modification, working safely with aggressive dogs, and training dogs with behavioral challenges. I believe there is always more to learn, and I am passionate about continuing my education so I can provide the highest level of care possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding canine body language and behavior. I am highly proficient at recognizing stress signals, fear responses, anxiety, overstimulation, excitement, and other behavioral cues. Over the years, I have worked with everything from easygoing family pets to dogs struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and other behavioral challenges. Understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way allows me to create a positive, safe, and low-stress experience tailored to each individual dog. I have also spent years fostering and grooming dogs for our local Humane Society, often taking on dogs that need extra patience, confidence-building, socialization, training, or behavioral support. Helping these dogs grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My experience as a groomer has taught me the importance of being observant and proactive. Groomers often see dogs more frequently than veterinarians and spend extended periods of time closely examining a dog's skin, coat, ears, eyes, feet, movement, and overall condition. Throughout my career, I have helped many clients identify potential concerns that later warranted veterinary attention, including food and environmental allergies, chronic skin conditions, ear infections, unusual lumps or bumps, coat changes, mobility concerns, and other health issues. While I never diagnose medical conditions, I take pride in recognizing when something appears unusual and encouraging owners to seek veterinary care. In many cases, early recognition helped owners find answers sooner and allowed their pets to receive treatment before problems became more serious or caused prolonged discomfort. I currently live on 10 acres with my three dogs: two Chihuahua mixes that I adopted as foster failures from the Humane Society and a Standard Poodle who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Thanks to my grooming experience, he is known for his creative trims and has won local Halloween costume contests. He has also participated in community events where he helped demonstrate proper grooming and brushing techniques for pet owners. His friendly, outgoing personality and love of meeting new people are a reflection of the training, socialization, and care that I believe every dog deserves. Every dog is unique, and I believe exceptional care starts with understanding each dog's individual personality, needs, and communication style. Whether your dog needs a fun place to stay, specialized handling, extra patience, or simply someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs, my goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dogs are an important part of our family's daily life, and caring for animals is already built into my routine. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, grooming as needed, and plenty of affection. Because I live on 10 acres, there is ample space for walks, exploration, and outdoor time, all while being carefully supervised. I also make it a priority to monitor each dog's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being so I can adapt activities to their individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, enjoys exploring outdoors, or prefers relaxing and receiving attention, I strive to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are always my highest priorities.

She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”
