“We took our fearful little guy, Charlie, to Mariah and Neil’s house as a get- to - know- you- while -Mom- and Dad- are present visit. This was a first venture for our doggie Charlie and us, not a traditional dog-sitting event. We really liked Mariah and Neil. We were impressed with their kindness and awareness in dealing with dogs in their home. We felt they were honest in describing Charlie’s expected behavior in first being boarded with them, and we loved that. We know our dog well enough to know that leaving him in a strange new house wouldn’t immediately (particularly for a fearful dog like Charlie) be all roses and chumminess. We did leave him for about 15 minutes alone with Mariah and Neil (“ fearful parents, not so much fearful dog!”) and Charlie reacted just as Neil and Mariah predicted. Their home feels warm and loving. They have two really adorable pups who are obviously loved and well-adjusted. We would recommend Neil and Mariah as carers and will definitely be trying to book them again soon!”
“Outstanding care, a True Dog whisperer. Sequoia Humane Society hired Mark to care for Browner an d Odie over the Thanksgiving holiday - Two large dogs! Both are known to struggle with other dogs, including each other. I was honestly preparing for this to simply be a safe, calm stay...what we got was something truly incredible. From the very beginning, Mark asked all the right questions about behavior, needs, routines and safety. It was clear he understood these were not "easy" dogs and approach their care with thoughtfulness, patience and professionalism. I encouraged him to try socializing them only if he felt right about an opportunity. To our complete surprise, Brownie and Odie became best friends almost immediately in his care. This is something we have not been able to achieve in a shelter environment and seeing that transformation was nothing short of amazing. This experience has opened new doors for both dogs and given us real hope for their future success in foster and forever homes. Both dogs had the time of their life in Mark's care. We are grateful for his kindness and opening his home to our animals during Thanksgiving and the day after. As Executive Director of Sequoia Humane Society, I can confidently say I would trust him again and without hesitation recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional caregiver for your animals...especially dogs!”
“I can't recommend Jacquelyn enough! My senior pup was injured just prior to her stay and had to be given medication and be on restricted movement. Jacquelyn asked questions as needed and provided daily updates. The home itself is really calming, which I'm sure Gertie appreciated. Overall great experience.”
About: I have three pets, two dogs and one cat. I am responsible for feeding them, replacing the pee pads, cleaning up the litter, and walking the dogs. I have had my dogs for over ten years and they have helped me through tough times, and I want to help other dogs who need help whenever the owner is busy. My cat follows me wherever I go and climbs on my shoulders like a parrot, and my dogs come to me when they are scared. I am available every day including holidays (I rather hang out with your pets than be with my family, don't tell them). However, I am a college student. On Mondays, I'll be unavailable from 2:30-8:00 p.m. On Tuesdays, I'll be available by 1:00 p.m. On Wednesdays, I'll be unavailable from 12:30-4:00 p.m. On Thursdays, I'll be unavailable from 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. & 6:00-8:00 p.m. From Friday to Sunday, I'm free. I am someone who is emotionally attached to animals, so I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is safe and healthy, such as not letting them go outside by your request, keeping them away from toxic and poisonous foods, and keeping a sharp eye on them to make sure they don't hurt themselves.
“Halley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Roxy, my Great Dane who, let’s be honestly, is an absolute handful. I’ve honestly never seen her so happy after a weekend away from home! 10/10 :)”
“Took such amazing care of our little dog while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Took her for walks daily and sent us photo updates too! We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands!!”
About: I am a grounded and compassionate person, who absolutely loves animals! Dogs and cats are my specialty, but have cared for goats , chickens and bunnies! Ive been filling my free time dog/cat walking and house sitting for the last 6 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. I connect right away with my fury customers and they are always excited to see me. I provided daily walks, plenty of play time, treats for tricks and lots of love . My schedule is usually open and I am able to overnight house sit if needed. I think your furrbaby would be overjoyed to have me as there care giver and friend! My schedule is open at the moment, and im always looking for any chance i can get to play with animals. My calendar is always up to date and my response time is within a couple hours. Animals have special kind of souls, they speak to us without words and unconditionally love us. I try to read what your animal needs and comfort them while you are away. Every animal is different and comes with their own personality, i like to nurture that part of them while helping them feel safe and loved.
“My dogs were comfortable with Jessie and I appreciated her flexibly about drop off and pick up times. Her photos and welfare updates were great especially since this was my first time leaving my girls overnight for two nights. I would want Jessie’s help again next time I plan more exploration of the great outdoors in the Humboldt county area.”
“Stari was an awesome sitter for our special needs pooch. She sent us regular updates and even shared photos of Chloe enjoying walks on the beach. Very sweet and professional. Highly recommended.”
About: Having extensive knowledge on dog nutrition as well as domesticating feral dogs with specialized training. I am also skilled in administering all types medication. My dog Axl and I completed AKC canine good citizen certification. This has increased my skills in dog training and behavioral corrections. I work from home owning my own pet treat and food topper company allowing me to spoil your fur babies! This allows me more time to love and care for them I provide a large secure yard with green grass for plenty of playtime that no pup has escaped. I also am well versed and aware of different dog behaviors and health issues that can arise and can communicate effectively regarding your pet to ensure safety with the best health options.
“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.”
About: Personal care that is catered to your dog’s needs with love. An extension of the love you provide your dog while you are away for walks, hikes, beach walks, sleepovers in pets home or ours. Allow yourself to work or vacation without worry. I am a virtual assistant and work from home. I work Monday through Friday and allow time in my schedule during day to walk and play every couple of hours. I have a fenced yard with one dog. We take multiple walks throughout the day. He is friendly and enjoys play dates with other dogs. I am available to go to your home if you do not want other dogs around and leave my dog home with a member of my family. Each dog is cared for as their owners desire including how they eat, when they eat, sleep, walk & play.
“5/5 stars. Would definitely rate higher if I could. I had to leave my pup with Celeste for the weekend while I flew out of town. She was super accommodating throughout; from taking her to get a new collar (at my request) from petco to pushing back her own schedule to drop off my pup to me at the airport after I had been delayed. All around awesome and easy going, I will definitely be using again.”

“Vanessa was amazing with my shy kitty!! Summer usually takes a long time to open up to new people but she loved Vanessa right away :’) highly recommend this sweet and responsible sitter!!”
About: To name a few specific skills would be administering medication for cats and dogs, expert back and belly scratching, and behavior training with my own dogs at home. I work part time and have a ton of time to spend playing with your little buddy/buddies! I'm very flexible as my work schedule changes. But longterm sitting and walking can most certainly be arranged! I am currently unable to care for any pets in my own home at this time. Though that may change sometime in the near future.
“We had a fantastic experience with our Bailey! She took wonderful care of our kitties during drop-in visits and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos after each visit—it was so reassuring to see our cats happy, comfortable, and well cared for.”
“Celia did a great job with checking (drop in) visits on my kitty! I think they became pals, and I highly recommend her! She was prompt in her arrival and visits and I will definitely use her again, I felt really comfortable with my kitty in her care!”
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: I’ve had cats for 30 years. Love to pet and take care of their needs. I have experience with giving medicine, and live to play and have fun with them. I have also taken care of friends cats and enjoy sending video updates of your cat having fun.
About: I've owned and lived with at least 8 different cats since I was 10. Cats are my favorite animal on the planet earth. My first cat I got when I was 15, and I had her for 9 years until her unfortunate passing due to cancer. She will always be in my heart. My current 2 girls are the sweetest things, and I look forward to seeing them every time I get home. I sometimes go and give cat advice to my mom who is a new cat owner with a kitten who is almost 1. I help play with her kitten and her dog while my mom gets things done around her home. I know cats sometimes need medicine, especially elderly cats, my girl Diamond included. I'm more than willing to help with that, I just need to be shown what to do in order to help out. Or give me good instructions, that's always okay. My years of experience will have to start from when I got my first cat and I climbed over mountains to learn everything I possibly could about her, and her needs.
About: I have a lifetime experience with cats. I am able to tend to meticulous feeding or med schedules and would love to help you in any way i can! I volunteered at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary all through my High School years in Austin TX. Since then my home has always had various critters scooting around at all times. I have been pet sitting professionally for 3 years now in Humboldt and have many positive local references. 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!
About: Since a young kid I have always loved being around animals, and would dog sit as my first job at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for countless animals for friends and family, as well as helped train puppies. I work from home and am self employed, so my schedule is flexible and open. I also care for a family member’s dog on a regular basis. I not only cater to my own dogs physical needs, but also to their emotional needs. So on top of making sure your pet is well fed and taken care of, I will always give your pet the deserved attention.
“Skyler was great! She was very communicative sending photos and keeping in touch. Everything was in great condition when I returned home and Lilikoi was happy. I highly recommend Skyler.”
About: Hi there! My name is Amber, and I would love to care for your furry family member! I only accept up to two dogs at a time, ensuring each dog receives plenty of personalized attention. and a calm and focused environment for your pup. With a free and flexible schedule, I am home and fully present with your dog throughout their stay. In September 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved 14-year-old dog, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the love and care our pets deserve at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment, and I strive to make every pup feel at home. My property features a spacious 1/4-acre lot with a large fenced yard for playtime and exploration. Additionally, I’m just a short walk from a dog park near the hospital and beautiful nature trails, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, cuddle time, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with a loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide full-time attention to your dog. Whether they enjoy daily adventures or a relaxing routine at home with neighborhood walks, I’ll tailor my care to suit their preferences. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I believe in providing consistency and structure to help dogs feel safe and secure. Meals, medications, and walks will happen on a reliable schedule, and I’ll make sure your pup is cozy and comfortable at bedtime. For younger dogs, I enjoy working on basic commands to keep them engaged and mentally stimulated. For seniors, I focus on their comfort, with shorter walks and plenty of relaxation time.
“Ashley was lovely! It was very reassuring to know my fur and feather babies were in such good care. Ashely provided regular updates and pictures, and kept my home clean for my return. Thank you, Ashely!”
About: I've had lots of cats as roommates over the years and have done extensive house sitting for folks with cats. Every animal has their own personality and character and I just try to follow their lead, meet them where they're at and let them get to know me at their pace. For the past few years I have house sat and cared for a family with two cats for about 2 months each winter, as well as shorter stays throughout the rest of the year.

“I would definitely recommend Mariah and Neil for pet sitting. Let’s face it little dogs are sometimes a little more high maintenance. They really seem to understand small dog behavior, which I appreciate! They are great communicators and are fast at responding, which is so helpful. Thank you for letting my pup stay.”
“I was so happy to find Paulina after my last Tahoe Rover friend left the area! It can be difficult to find someone without a dog themselves, and my dog LOVES people but is dog selective so we prefer her to be the only pet staying. Paulina thank you for being super flexible and having great communication and response time. Bella came back tired and happy. I will definitely be reaching out for more stays this winter and am looking forward to having you watch Bella again this weekend!”
About: I've had large dogs since 1997. Currently I have 2 amazing dogs. A 3 legged great burnese, and a 1.2yr old burnese Mt. Dog. They are sweet and wonderful dogs with great manners and are super dog friendly. I also have 2 cats. Rick and Morty. They are a pair. Also very sweet and affectionate once they know you. They are indoor/outdoor 24/7 but avoid dogs. The love of my furry friends reflects who I am. I have 5 acres. This allows my dogs to mostly roam free as they stay close to home. It gives other dogs the opportunity to have a place to run around and play with other good dogs. There are also multiple leads amongst the property, as well as a gated and covered outside area if your pet isn't used to either of those situations. I spend almost all of my days working from home. So other than the occasional errand, I'm home. Otherwise, I exist for you and yours. My pets have water and food at all times. It's under a covered area so they are able to stay in the shade if they like. Otherwise my dogs are free to roam as they generally stay on the property. My property is not fenced. However with this undertaking dogs can be placed in the covered area when needed. They can be leaded if that's what you want. As well they are welcome in the house at any time. Your pets are free to relax anywhere they like. My dogs are very sweet and friendly. My 3 legged dog is not one to get to excited as he only has 3 legs. For the right dogs, my property is a paradise.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, easy and "difficult". I am very adept at walking and caring for reactive dogs who can have a hard time with other dogs and/or humans, and do my best to avoid any situations that can trigger reactive behaviors. I'm also happy to help keep up any training routines, I'm pretty proficient in general dog training, but I know it always comes down to the individual dogs for what works best. I often have people remark about their pets who usually don't warm up to new people immediately taking a liking to me! I'm also totally respectful of animals who do need time to get to know new people and always meet them where they're at, so more than welcome to accommodate those who need more introduction time. I've had dogs in the family my whole life, and have lived with many cats as roommates, and I've loved them all. I've done extensive house sitting everywhere from big cities to rural areas, for periods of time as long as two months, caring for animals as well as the house and surrounding property. My schedule is very flexible so I can make sure I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your animal friends, I live in a sweet quiet neighborhood in Arcata near the bottoms that's great for regular walks, and I have a car and am happy to take pups out on more special adventures too! I always check in about what's best for each dog, and can tailor care around what their usual schedule is with walks and feeding, what kinds of play they like best, and any training routines I can help reinforce during our time together. I make sure to take extra care with reactive dogs and avoid any situations that may trigger them as best as possible.
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 8 years old. Personally I took care of a Boston terrier and that is the only breed that Ive worked with in my house. Other breeds that I’ve had experience with our my neighbors dogs including different types of Pitbulls and huskies. I am very comfortable with larger dog find them to be huge lovers. I am welcome to any size dog i know I can handle and take care of them based on my personal experience with my own pets and neighbors pets. My neighbors pets have been in my life longer than the Boston terrier that we got as a family dog. My family has now had three Boston terriers throughout my lifetime. I am currently a full-time Cal poly Humboldt student, but I have 1 to 2 hour breaks between most of my classes and I’m free in the evenings for dog walking throughout the day. I am currently moved out of my parents house so I don’t have any pets in my home but I have a fenced off backyard and is spacious living area if they need to stay overnight that is OK. I have plenty of places to walk right outside of my home. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing. Any of the grooming that the dog me and on top of taking care of them. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing.

“Mary was great! She was able to take our last minute booking and patiently worked with introducing our anxious dog to hers. She even kindly let our toddler chat with her about everything toddlers chat about (bugs he saw, how he likes the beach and halloween, letters, Spiderman, etc.) when he wanted to come pick up his pup and say hello.”
“Sonja is the best! Her beautiful place is not only dog paradise, but also a treat to see for two-legged parents as well. My dogs LOVE it there, and came home exhausted. Perfect for my long work days. She and Mike could not be better humans, so kind, loving, and very intelligent. I am so grateful that my fur-babies and I connected with them. Don't miss out on this rare "unicorn" opportunity. Thank you again, Sonja.”
About: Hi, I’m Virgo (formerly Jeremy)! I’ve been dog sitting my friends’ dogs for about 10yrs, and working for a dog trainer for about 2yrs. (My parents tell me I’ve loved dogs my whole life, but I can only partly confirm.) A few things I like about dog sitting is discovering their personalities and learning how to interprete and anticipate their needs. I’m not intimidated by high-energy/high-intelligence dogs either! I like the challenge of keeping up with them. It also tricks me into staying active and feels less ridiculous than Zumba. 🤷🏽♂️ If there’s anything else you wanna know just ask? Uhh, this thing says I’ve gotta write 50 more words to move on so I’m just gonna keep typing stuff until the limit runs out I guess? I’m a substitute teacher, so my schedule is highly flexible! I try not to schedule subbing jobs during engagements, but they overlap seamlessly when it does happen. I live alone with a fully enclosed backyard and space for a crate if needed! I prefer to sit in the pet’s home though because I like to keep your pet’s routine and environment familiar to make them most comfortable!
About: Since I was old enough to pull myself up by the hindquarters of the family dog, I have shared a special connection with animals. Well versed in the needs of our furry friends, no pet is too much for my care. Experienced in special need care for animals - including but not limited to insulin administration. I also have formal training as an assistant vet tech and have volunteered at the ASPCA for years. Since I am currently self-employed with reliable transportation, my schedule is extremely flexible. I have two dogs and two cats that I care for daily, but they are low maintenance and do not require much time. Boarding will be done on 5.5 acres in Freshwater, set back in the woods with plenty of land for your fur-baby to roam free. We have gated, open top areas as well as a temperature controlled garage set up if your pet needs isolation or time away from the other animals. When walking, during drop-in visits, or on overnight stays in your home, I will adhere to all requests and ensure your furbaby enjoys themselves in your absence!
“Amanda is a wonderful dog sitter! 10/10 she’s very kind extremely communicative and even surprised me by training my puppy to lay down! I’d highly recommend sending your doggo with Amanda :) I even got great little updates and photos thought the day. I felt like my pup was in very good hands”
“Janice is a lifesaver!!! We were on our way to the redwood national park and realized that dogs are not allowed on most trails. So we had to find a sitter super last minute and she helped us out! Our dog has separation anxiety and this was the first time he didn’t miss us at all! He had so much fun playing with her dog and the other little dog she was caring for. She is very accommodating and super responsive. She also would send us pictures of our dog throughout the day! I would definitely hire her again and totally recommend her to everyone! She is an angel!”
“Whitney was super flexible with us and was great at communicating while we did some non-dog friendly hikes. Will definitely trust her again with our Luna any time we visit the area.”
“Marlen was fantastic--responsive, a clear communicator, and obviously very experienced and knowledgable about dogs. I felt totally confident while Jade was with her that Jade was having a great time. I will definitely be a repeat client. I highly recommend Marlen.”
About: My farm store experience and lifelong animal-raising background, combined with insights from seasoned pet professionals, set me apart as a uniquely qualified, compassionate pet sitter. Balancing school and raising two sons, I cherish pet sitting as a flexible way to care for animals, complementing my existing animal-care routine and nurturing nature. I care for all animals like they're mine, providing a safe environment, while being respectful of property, rules, and requirements, ensuring a stress-free experience, always.
“Krissi was an AMAZING sitter! Lilly had dogs to play with and a big yard to play. She did what she does best which is nap! She can be quite anxious and slow to warm up but Krissi was kind and gentle with my giant. I HIGHLY recommend this doggy sitter and will absolutely be rebooking her anytime I make a coastal trip!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. Since my teenage years we had dogs and cats in the house. Over the last 17 years I have lived with and cared for 2 dogs and two cats. Sadly 3 of them have passed on at this point, and It's just myself and my 12 yr old husky mix Suki now. I am only employed on a very part time basis, so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule for dog walking, home visits and boarding on most weekdays, and some weekends. I have a fenced back yard perfect for pets to hang out in, and there is also a covered area in the back yard if the weather is rainy. I would also allow them inside the house, but not on furniture :). I am a very active person, I walk my own dog at least twice a day, and would be happy to walk even more with yours!
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 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 all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. 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.

About: I have always loved working around pets. I used to work at the pets hotel doggie day camp in Pet Smart. Having a dog of my own, I know what it takes to properly care for them , clean up after them, and take them outside when needed. What sets me apart is I would go the extra mile if needed of course to really ensure that the dogs I am taking care feel comfortable around me and they are excited when I come to the door to take them out for a walk. I am completely available during the week and weekend, full unbridled availability. walking pets would be great for my exercise along with the physical health of the dog of course (or cat). I had a cat and a dog that I regularly care for daily, I have a set time for feeding the dog and cat at 5PM every day, and of course breakfast at 8 AM before that, and I would make sure to have my dog go out back when needed and to clean up after him, and we also have his usually vet appointments as well. For my cat, we fed him three times a day like my dog and clean his litter box and refill it twice a day.

About: Hello! I first stared walking and pet sitting when I was 12 years old. I remember my first client was a Yorkie; I had so much fun walking and playing with him. After that I knew I want to contribute more and continue on with pet sitting and walking. I would love and be honored to spend time with your fur babies when you need the help! I am currently working part time a few days of the week. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. Message me and I am sure the both of us can work something out. I will care for your pet(s) in your home with making sure they are well protected, safe, and happy. I am a good listener and with getting to know not only yourself but with your pet(s) needs.
About: I have experience working at a vet office, and worked dogsitting overnights and drop ins throughout my college career. I've had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and even horses, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and have one of my own who is one of the loves of my life! I'm happy to drop in multiple times per day around my work schedule (I work from home 9am-5pm) and I have an hour lunch which I use to visit dogs (or really any other animals) on my lunchtime rounds. If your dog needs help learning to socialize, my dog may be the perfect match, he is very easygoing and always eager to make a new friend. We go to the dog park frequently and he is used to playing with small dogs as well as some bigger breeds. I have experience with animals large and small, and I have a horse so giant breeds are still a breeze. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I have an open schedule for drop in visits and walks, and am available most weekends. Whether you are looking for a daily dog walker or a vacation sitter, I can help. I believe each pet requires an individual approach so that they are comfortable and happy during our visits. I strive to figure out what the pet needs to feel comfortable early on during our meet and greets so that I can keep them healthy and happy while you’re gone.
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!

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: I have been a repeat sitter for a pug and house sitter for month long stays. I have cared for our queensland heeler for 10 years. I am a Eureka resident and a working professional with a flexible, hybrid schedule. I am working remotely Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule. I can adapt my schedule to the needs of your pet, including walks throughout the day. I am attentive to individual pets needs and a client said I left the house cleaner than when he left. I provide a safe, playful, and loving environment for your pet.

“We took our fearful little guy, Charlie, to Mariah and Neil’s house as a get- to - know- you- while -Mom- and Dad- are present visit. This was a first venture for our doggie Charlie and us, not a traditional dog-sitting event. We really liked Mariah and Neil. We were impressed with their kindness and awareness in dealing with dogs in their home. We felt they were honest in describing Charlie’s expected behavior in first being boarded with them, and we loved that. We know our dog well enough to know that leaving him in a strange new house wouldn’t immediately (particularly for a fearful dog like Charlie) be all roses and chumminess. We did leave him for about 15 minutes alone with Mariah and Neil (“ fearful parents, not so much fearful dog!”) and Charlie reacted just as Neil and Mariah predicted. Their home feels warm and loving. They have two really adorable pups who are obviously loved and well-adjusted. We would recommend Neil and Mariah as carers and will definitely be trying to book them again soon!”
“Outstanding care, a True Dog whisperer. Sequoia Humane Society hired Mark to care for Browner an d Odie over the Thanksgiving holiday - Two large dogs! Both are known to struggle with other dogs, including each other. I was honestly preparing for this to simply be a safe, calm stay...what we got was something truly incredible. From the very beginning, Mark asked all the right questions about behavior, needs, routines and safety. It was clear he understood these were not "easy" dogs and approach their care with thoughtfulness, patience and professionalism. I encouraged him to try socializing them only if he felt right about an opportunity. To our complete surprise, Brownie and Odie became best friends almost immediately in his care. This is something we have not been able to achieve in a shelter environment and seeing that transformation was nothing short of amazing. This experience has opened new doors for both dogs and given us real hope for their future success in foster and forever homes. Both dogs had the time of their life in Mark's care. We are grateful for his kindness and opening his home to our animals during Thanksgiving and the day after. As Executive Director of Sequoia Humane Society, I can confidently say I would trust him again and without hesitation recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional caregiver for your animals...especially dogs!”
“Halley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Roxy, my Great Dane who, let’s be honestly, is an absolute handful. I’ve honestly never seen her so happy after a weekend away from home! 10/10 :)”
“Took such amazing care of our little dog while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Took her for walks daily and sent us photo updates too! We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands!!”
About: I am a grounded and compassionate person, who absolutely loves animals! Dogs and cats are my specialty, but have cared for goats , chickens and bunnies! Ive been filling my free time dog/cat walking and house sitting for the last 6 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. I connect right away with my fury customers and they are always excited to see me. I provided daily walks, plenty of play time, treats for tricks and lots of love . My schedule is usually open and I am able to overnight house sit if needed. I think your furrbaby would be overjoyed to have me as there care giver and friend! My schedule is open at the moment, and im always looking for any chance i can get to play with animals. My calendar is always up to date and my response time is within a couple hours. Animals have special kind of souls, they speak to us without words and unconditionally love us. I try to read what your animal needs and comfort them while you are away. Every animal is different and comes with their own personality, i like to nurture that part of them while helping them feel safe and loved.
“My dogs were comfortable with Jessie and I appreciated her flexibly about drop off and pick up times. Her photos and welfare updates were great especially since this was my first time leaving my girls overnight for two nights. I would want Jessie’s help again next time I plan more exploration of the great outdoors in the Humboldt county area.”
“Stari was an awesome sitter for our special needs pooch. She sent us regular updates and even shared photos of Chloe enjoying walks on the beach. Very sweet and professional. Highly recommended.”

I also am well versed and aware of different dog behaviors and health issues that can arise and can communicate effectively regarding your pet to ensure safety with the best health options.
“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.”

“5/5 stars. Would definitely rate higher if I could. I had to leave my pup with Celeste for the weekend while I flew out of town. She was super accommodating throughout; from taking her to get a new collar (at my request) from petco to pushing back her own schedule to drop off my pup to me at the airport after I had been delayed. All around awesome and easy going, I will definitely be using again.”
