“Blake took wonderful care of my pup while I was on a work trip with my fur baby. She was very accommodating to my shifting work schedule and quick with communications. I will happily contact Blake in the future should I have the need for a pet sitter in Crescent City!”

“Tiffany is an excellent dog sitter and true dog lover! Our dog, Daisy, boarded with Tiffany for 2 nights while we were vacationing in town. Daisy had a large indoor area with a comfy bed and lots of toys. Tiffany sent us photos of Daisy both days, and it was obvious that our girl felt at home. Tiffany even sewed up a hole in Daisy’s own toy that we had left with her! Who does that?!💗 Highly recommend Tiffany as a dog sitter and would board our dog with her again. Wish we could give 10 stars! Ruth & Ron”

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 ;)

“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.
“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!”


“Amber took excellent care of my cats. She paid extra attention to them and took time for some pets and pictures. She followed my detailed feeding instructions perfectly. I also appreciated how she took extra time to clean up a bit around the cats feeding area. Great communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Amber again.”

“Michaela is Amazing! She’s punctual, follows any specific instructions for your pet. She is laser focused on your animal during the visit(s). Michaela really alleviated my separation anxiety during my vacation. The fact that she’s a Vet Tech also is a huge benefit in that she has credentials & professional experience with animals. You can’t go wrong by picking her to watch your fur baby.”

“Blake jumped right in to confirm our last minute booking and we were SO happy with her! She took photos and gave us updates throughout the day, too. Anyone visiting the area, in an RV or staying in a hotel: book your fur babies with Blake! You'll be glad you did!!”

“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!”

“Tiffany was amazing! She took our sweet dog, Nova, in for the whole day on very short notice. We received a detailed report about Nova's day, including lots of pictures from throughout the day! We are very happy and impressed with Tiffany's compassion and kindness! Would absolutely recommend!”

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.
