“Whitney was a perfect first stay with Rover.. She was attentive and caring to my older dog, sending pictures and checking in to see if all was well. Sara definitely had a good stay and will be back again. I am so happy to have found Rover. Thanks!”
“It seems my nervous dog was very comfortable (and even playful!) with Neil, Mariah, and their dog posse. In fact, he couldn’t wait to greet Neil at the door this last trip. I’m very happy to have found them, and it will be a relief to know Linny is in loving hands during future trips.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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 was very nervous to leave my Maltipoo with her because she’s never been with a dog sitter before and she’s very small and has separation anxiety too. But Laila was very good with her and made her feel at ease. I left my Lully with her for 5 hours and she did pretty well. She even played with Laila’s dog which she never plays with other dogs before. I will definitely take her to Laila again whenever I need a sitter.”

“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: Hi! I have working around and with dogs and cats for most of my life, my grandma worked with fosters/rescues and at the Animal Shelter during my childhood and with the experience I have a very good understanding of how to handle most animals and provide them with love and care. I also have a 5 year old Border Collie who keeps me very busy, him and I spent 3+ years in intensive training (positive reinforcement only). This experience in training has helped me to understand cues, reactions and how to redirect with many different breeds of dogs. Thanks for checking out my profile, I’d love to help out with your pups and kitty’s!
“Stella took great care of Lulu. I was very happy to see Lulu getting pets in the photos. I could relax during the holiday knowing she was getting love, care, and litter box attended to.”
“Dani demonstrated her cat-smarts (with our sometimes fickle, finicky & bad-ass feline!); Dani proved to be super reliable and communicative, helping us to completely relax and enjoy our week away, knowing our cat was in good hands! Thank you, Dani!”
“Alexandra and Kelsey were so incredible, i would book them again in a heartbeat! They were amazing with our three cats, and very attentive with our 19yo cat, who requires frequent small feedings because of his age. When we got back it looked like he put on some weight which is wonderful! They were so helpful with caring for our home, took care of packages and kept us updated, and our house looked cleaner than when we left it. Communication was incredibly fast and clear from beginning to end. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties and home were so well taken care of 💚 Thank you guys so much!!!”
About: I can provide your cat(s) with play or enrichment, keep their litter boxes clean everyday, fed, and give them sincere company in a quiet environment. I've cared for cats with many different temperaments, from difficult to easy. I volunteered at a local cat shelter for 4 years. I take pride in making sure cats have all their needs met and more. I have always grown up with having a cat in the family. I have given cats medication as in pill form medication by food or down the throat if needed. I've also done many flea treatments on cats and claw trimming. I have no fears of being scratched by cats or even bit since I've cared for feral cats and cats that have trauma.
“Ember is THEE BEST. Why can't I give her 10 stars?!? She was so communicative and understanding with our crazy travel schedule and reassured me with how my baby was doing. I would recommend her to anyone for her kind, gentle and patient care.”
“Bailey is a wonderful Rover and I highly recommend her as a friend for your fur baby! She took great care of our kitties, one of whom is a little skittish but Bailey won her over. She even tidied up after our messy girl. We would definitely book with her 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!!”
“When we were planning a holiday trip, Michelle stepped in and gracefully took care of our baby! Felt incredibly comfortable having her watch our cat and we appreciate the amount of professionalism and care she put into the job! 🩷”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for cats and an appreciation for their independence and unique personalities. Growing up, I was drawn to their quirky traits and how every cat’s behavior is so distinct. During high school, I volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter where I had the privilege of caring for cats and other animals. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with them to ensure they felt safe and loved. While I enjoyed working with all the animals, cats were always my favorite because of their fascinatingly diverse personalities. From playful and curious kittens to calm and reserved seniors, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to care for and bond with cats of all temperaments. Whether it’s providing a safe and stimulating environment, respecting their boundaries, or giving them extra cuddles when they’re feeling affectionate, I’m committed to ensuring every cat feels happy and secure in my care.
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.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as animals that take daily medication.

My schedule is very flexible and so it’s easier for me to meet new clients and their pets! I always make sure to ask my clients if there’s any additional info that I need to know. I’m a very aware and attentive person, that’s why I keep a good eye on the pets body language and everyday needs. Keeping up with their schedule is another important detail to me.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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.”
“Karen and her husband watched our high energy dog for the weekend. We can't thank them enough for their kindness to our fur baby. I would recommend Karen in the future. Wonderful pet sitter. Can't thank her enough!”
“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.”
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: 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: 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: 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.
“Paulina was so nice and a great fur baby sitter for my 2 dogs. She sent great pictures during their doggie day care and will definitely bring them back next time we’re in South Lake Tahoe.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I currently have a dog and two cats, and I'm also trusted in my neighborhood and amongst family and friends as someone to watch their animals when they're gone. Im a full time college student but I usually always have my own animals in my bedroom with me, sitting under (or on top of) my desk while I work. I have a friendly dog who absolutely loves play dates, so your dog would never get bored. My backyard is quite large so the dogs have tons of room to run around and play. The fences are regularly checked for holes under them to ensure our dog can't get out. I also have two large cat cages in my home where each of my cats sleep, but if needed, they can sleep in the same cage and the other one can be used to provide your pet some privacy, with their own food and water dishes. I have many many many interactive cat toys so even while i'm working, they can play with the toys that are attached to my desk and walls, along with scratching posts.
“We highly recommend Whitney! She took wonderful care of our dog, Oso, and it was clear he had a great time. He came home happy, relaxed, and ready for a long nap, which showed us he had plenty of enrichment and fun throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Whitney again in the future!”
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!
“Lucy was awesome. She sent me pictures so I could see how echo was doing and kept an eye on him. I was a little disappointed that he wasn't happier to see me when I came to pick him up lol but I guess that's a good thing XD he seemed to have had a great time. She was very welcoming and her dog is super friendly. 10/10 I would highly recommend her and if I'm in need of a dog sitter again I will definitely be sending her a message.”
“I was visiting from out of town and needed someone to keep my puppies while I attended a private dinner. Mark was very communicative and flexible with me and I appreciated his time set aside for my babies. His yard was safe and well maintained. I highly recommend Mark!”
“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: 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 am free Monday - Thursday every week as I work from home as a ceramic artist. On the weekends (Friday - Sunday) I work as a waitress. 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 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!
“Stari was so patient with our little puppy that had separation anxiety for awhile after we left. Sounds like when he settled down he enjoyed cuddling with her a lot the rest of the day. He was happy and in a great mood when we picked him up. Stari also was excellent at commication both before and during his stay. Really great experience, would highly recommend Stari!”
About: I’m a Lauren Wendt’s wife and will be available to work with her clients when she is away for field work. Her clients can expect the same level of care and comfort with me. I am only available to sub for her. I mostly work from home, and when covering for Lauren I will be available all day, except during times when I can coaching at the university (Monday evenings and Saturday afternoons). Our home is very large, with multiple rooms and kennels to give dogs private safe spaces as well as communal time. We also have. Very large fenced yard, and dogs will be supervised in the yard.

I follow instructions carefully, including medication administration needs; I introduce myself to animals slowly and with lots of positive reinforcement to create a healthy relationship. I listen to owner's needs regarding their animal and do my best to be flexible.
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 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 am adventurous, active, and love to explore new places. I can’t wait to spend time with your dog walking around my area and exploring dog friendly activities around this area. We can stay home or go on an adventure to your liking. Snuggles and love are included at no extra charge. I can administer medications if needed and will follow any specific instructions to a tee. My dog is my baby and I would only want her to be treated as such. I have been very successful using Rover as a customer, so I know the quality of service you and your dog are expecting and I insist on delivering that to you. Walking, running, playing, fetching, snuggling, hugging, and giving praise for being a great dog is what I specialize in:)
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.

“Whitney was a perfect first stay with Rover.. She was attentive and caring to my older dog, sending pictures and checking in to see if all was well. Sara definitely had a good stay and will be back again. I am so happy to have found Rover. Thanks!”
“It seems my nervous dog was very comfortable (and even playful!) with Neil, Mariah, and their dog posse. In fact, he couldn’t wait to greet Neil at the door this last trip. I’m very happy to have found them, and it will be a relief to know Linny is in loving hands during future trips.”
“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 :)”
“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 was very nervous to leave my Maltipoo with her because she’s never been with a dog sitter before and she’s very small and has separation anxiety too. But Laila was very good with her and made her feel at ease. I left my Lully with her for 5 hours and she did pretty well. She even played with Laila’s dog which she never plays with other dogs before. I will definitely take her to Laila again whenever I need a sitter.”
“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!!”

“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.”
“Sonja provided awesome care for Daisy while we were gone for 10 days! She made sure that we all felt comfortable when dropping her off, and she provided plenty of updates while we were away. It’s clear that Daisy was well cared for and loved while we were gone. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you!”
