Humboldt Critter Sitter is such a life-saver! Anytime I leave town, I trust them to watch my pets…read more With 4 cats, a large breed dog, and chickens, other boarding options were way out of my budget, but HCS is super reasonably priced and the service they provide is well worth it. While I'm gone, they text me with photos and updates on how my fur kids are doing which gives me the peace of mind to enjoy my time out of town. My pets have different feeding times and routines which HCS was more than happy to work around. We have one special needs cat as well who they had no problem caring for. I also spring for their service for watching my house as well. They stop by to bring in mail, open/close blinds, etc so even though we aren't home we're confident that no one thinks the house is empty. Anyone who uses Humboldt Critter Sitter will not only be happy with their services, but will know they never need to find help for their pets again. You can't get better than the best!

I made arrangements with Jaymeey as a cat sitter for two 15 minute visits over the weekend while I…read moreleft town to take care of some legal paperwork. Everything in the initial consultation seemed trustworthy: contracts, etc. A close friend checked up on our house before we returned from our trip and informed us that Jaymeey was in the house for much longer than 15 minutes, doing laundry and relaxing with a man she invited into our home without our consent(something we were told would NOT happen in the agreed contract). Our friend also informed us that Jaymeey and this man made a huge mess and empty food containers and clothes were all over the living room. A travel bathroom kit was also left behind. All of these findings lead us to believe that Jaymeey stayed the night and used our belongings without our permission, and also let the man stay here and do the same without our permission. As we unpacked from the trip, my fiancé noticed that several pieces of family heirloom jewelry had been stolen from our bedroom (in addition to various other rings, pieces of jewelry, gold dollar coins, and crystals). These are heirloom pieces that are not simply misplaced or forgotten. Lastly, our internet had been disconnected because Jaymeey, or the man she let into our house pirated a movie resulting in our account being flagged.
