“Neil and Mariah are amazing dog sitters. They go above and beyond for Biscuit. Biscuit would only eat boiled meat while he was with them for a week and refused to eat other food. Neil and Mariah bought more chicken and prepared it for Biscuit. I highly recommend them.”
“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 :)”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them essential members of the family. We always had large breed dogs, and while they could be a lot of work, it was worth it to be able to go through life with these amazing creatures. I’m happy to spend time with your furry friend, whatever their energy level or particularities. I am a writer who works from home, so I can commit to spending plenty of quality time with your pup, going on walks or hanging out at home. I’m also happily to take them to the dog park once in a while if that’s something your pup enjoys. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own. Bhalu is a 14-year-old lab mix who will be overjoyed to meet your pup for approximate 5 minutes, after which he will lose interest and go off to do his own thing.
“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.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have always felt a special connection to them - big or small, couch potato or activity tornado, young or less young. My dogs, Nitsa and Indigo, are well trained, friendly, and two of my very best friends.

I have a fenced, private yard accessible through a doggy door and two sweet pups for long hours or play or cuddles. My neighborhood is quiet and somewhat remote, so your furry family member will be able to truly relax.
“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.”

“Whitney hosted my anxious pup Oscar for daycare, and took great care of him! I appreciate her kindness and attention spent on helping my boy feel comfortable. I would definitely rebook next time I’m in the area. Thanks Whitney!”
“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.”
“Stari was very warm and caring. Mister President had his tail wagging as we approached her. The second visit, he pulled me towards her door. He had a great time both dates and came home happy and tired. She sent updates and was very kind.”

Bhalu is a 14-year-old lab mix who will be overjoyed to meet your pup for approximate 5 minutes, after which he will lose interest and go off to do his own thing.
“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.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have always felt a special connection to them - big or small, couch potato or activity tornado, young or less young. My dogs, Nitsa and Indigo, are well trained, friendly, and two of my very best friends. We love going on walks to the dog beach by our house, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together :) I would absolutely love to spend time with your pups! I'm a current grad student with a very flexible schedule, and my partner works from home every day. Our dogs love to play, and would be excited to share their space with a new friend. I have a fenced, private yard accessible through a doggy door and two sweet pups for long hours or play or cuddles. My neighborhood is quiet and somewhat remote, so your furry family member will be able to truly relax.
“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.”
“Mary is phenomenal and I felt so good about leaving my two girls with her. She is caring and thoughtful and also kept me updated on everything. I know they were loved on and well taken care of ??”

I can’t wait to meet and care for yours! I’m a remote worker with a very flexible schedule who lives across the street from a dog beach, which allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. The happiness of your pet (and your ease of mind) is my top priority! I have a large fully fenced yard that will keep your dog happy and exercised! My home also has two friendly dogs that are ready to meet and play with your pet. I’m happy to leave my dogs at home to do in-house visits for pets that are less social :)
About: I’ve dog sat for all my family and friends the past 10-15 years. I am very reliable and love to spend time with fur babies! I work full time but always go on walks in the morning / afternoon. I also am free on the weekends and am available to help out last minute I have a fenced in yard / patio around my house which is helpful when caring for dogs. I also love going on walks so I can keep them active :)
“Amanda was a total professional even though Banjo is neurotic. She handled him and sent pictures and confident, positive messages. I would utilize her as a sitter again in a heartbeat.”
