Personalized care for your dog or cat - Smith River

“Tiffany was a great sitter for our pup! He had a great time playing with her dogs. She was a great communicator, providing us with plenty of updates throughout the day and responding quickly to any questions. Would definitely recommend her and have our pup stay with her again!”

“Blake was very accommodating when we changed our travel plans and only needed care for one overnight instead of two. We appreciated her flexibility!”

About: I have always had a pet dog since I was about 7! My parents let us do all the doggie chores so I am well versed in every area of dog care! I’ve had a cocker spaniel, dachshund, yorkie, bernedoodle, golden retriever and mini goldendoodle! Along with most of my childhood/current friends, neighbors and cousins also have/had a pet dog of their own so I have had tons of exposure to many different breeds, ages, sizes & temperaments! I also regularly babysat dogs throughout high school. I’ve had lots of experience training puppies and dogs and have been in multiple professional classes with my own dog. One of my childhood dogs was on senior care for a couple years toward the end of his time so if you need me to handle medication or exercises I can help with that as well! I am a stay at home mom for my daughter and pup! We take naps, chase, play with toys, snuggle, wrestle, window watch, go out to fetch at the dog park, take walks & go get pup cups all together! I’m home all day most days and am very flexible! Just reach out ;) I live in a neighborhood/apartment complex with lots of grassy areas and an off leash dog park! We have LVP flooring with a rug and they can play wherever they please! We have our little girl and own pup to make friends with! Our little girl has her own separate safe play area as well but she is fascinated by pets and loves to watch them play and she try’s to get in on the fun more often than not! Our little pup Bowser is such a playful curious boy! He is young and energetic and will be beside himself to have playmates! He especially likes dogs bigger than him ;)

“Thank you Amber for taking great care of my pets! I appreciate the excellent communication and the pictures. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”

“Melissa went above and beyond with my two cats. She was very attentive, thorough, and accommodating and even managed to win over my skittish/shy cat which doesn’t happen often!”

About: I absolutely adore cats and all their individual little quirks. The best part about getting to know kitties is watching them warm up to me and learning about what makes them unique, even if it means I’m covered in cat hair by the end of it! Due to the small rented spaces I’ve lived in, cats are the only option I’ve had to bond with a pet of my own and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. The one I have now I adopted in 2017, she is 9 years young! She is so clever and intelligent, I often call her a diva but that’s just because she is stubborn enough to get what she wants out of me, eventually!

“Blake took care of my 3 bouncy barking huge Labradors while I was out of town. They had never been left at home with a stranger checking in with them. I got check ins on time and report cards daily from Blake. When I got home my pupps were happy and not stressed at all. She followed the directions I left her and she is someone I will definitely be using again in the future!”

About: I’ve fostered, bottle fed and given medication for many cats over my life. At one time as a teen I had rescued 13 cats, they were all barn kitty’s as my mom disapproved but I just love their unique personalities. I like to keep a nice clean box for them as well.

“Always dependable and trustworthy. Friendly and communicative, they remove all my stress from being away from home and leaving my kitties behind!”

“We had a great experience with Blake while visiting. We had great communication throughout booking and she was available for an 8am dropoff on a Sunday, which was very helpful. We’d definitely recommend her!”

“Curly loves Tiffany. His last visit was 9 months ago and he remembered her and couldn’t get out of the car fast enough. He got lots of walks and cuddles. He was happy we came home too but Tiffany❤️”

“Tracey and Alan were amazing and went above and beyond! Lucy is usually not comfortable with strangers since she’s a rescue, but she was very relaxed the whole time she was at their house. They even did a last minute rebooking so I could enjoy the Redwoods, which I was down there for. Totally considering rebooking again when I’m down in the Redwoods next and 10/10 recommend for anyone who needs pet care around Crescent City!”

“Wonderful doggie sitter! Would absolutely book again!”

About: Hi! My name is Coral and I’m a student at SWOCC and a part-time carer. I’ve grown up loving animals (especially cats) and have done a number of pet sitting duties for friends, community members, and even teachers of mine over the years. I have experience caring for senior dogs, cats, reptiles, and chickens so far! My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from the want to always be around animals in some capacity, even when I was a little girl! Caring for animals, walking them, and having a snuggle is just what makes me happy, especially when I see they’re having a good time too. Getting to know and learn the different personalities of the pets I care for is so fun and rewarding!! Peace of mind is really important to me, for you and your fur babies! There’s nothing more uplifting while you’re away from home than receiving an update on your phone that shows how comfortable and well-cared for your pets are. Your babies are missing you all the same, so I prioritize creating a connection that allows them to have fun while also maintaining their usual routines, giving them balance AND something to enjoy while you’re away!! I wouldn’t take any pets into my home out of respect for my sassy kitty, seriously she’s like a little princess! But I would happily stay in your home to house sit and look after your animals. I would be just as excited to swing by your home or walk your pets when needed. Thank you so much for considering me!! 🌷 I got my license at the beginning of this year after working through my driving anxiety. The freedom and flexibility I have to take on petsitting away from home motivated me. As time went on I realized how much I enjoy it and am ready to expand on it in-between my part-time job! I am happy to care for your pets in your home and would love to support with housework if needed! I am thorough and attentive and will be sure to take extra care and time when you are away from your babies! I know how hard it can be to leave pets home, they’re family after all! I’m familiar with working with senior animals and if your pet has a special diet or medication I can easily accommodate and provide. References are available if requested!

“Melissa is great with my dog. She is very responsible and very kind. You can tell by the questions she asks as well as the messages she leaves she is an animal lover. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been caring for many animals since I was young, I love walking playing, hiking and just hanging out with them. I have some practice training puppies but am not certified. I always like to let older dogs go at their own pace and smell all the good sniff spots. I currently work at my own pace from home so I’m available most days and most times. I usually like to get a couple miles in walking per day and don’t mind being out in bad weather either. I can provide care in your home, or outside your home at parks, walks and hikes. As needed or based on your personal preference taking into account your pets needs.
