Pet Sitting in Girdwood

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, have been pet sitting since I was about 12, and have a few pets I housesit/watch throughout the year. I love to get out on walks or just sit and enjoy the company! I have a part time job at the rock gym here in Anchorage, and go to school at APU. I have plenty of time to get around town though, and I try to get outside for a walk, run, hike, bike, ski etc. everyday. I have a few pet sitting jobs around town, sometimes just a quick pop in to feed/water/and hang out for a bit, and extended house and pet sitting stays. I love to go on walks, runs, and skis and am comfy talking dogs on longer walks, hikes, or runs or just a walk around the neighborhood.

“Sarah took excellent care of 2 dogs & provided reports on activities rtc,, as well as pictures of the happy pups, which was awesome to see. I will definitely book Sarah again!”

“Jennifer followed through as promised, and I had a very happy doggo I came home to ☺️ Will definitely be booking again (if she’ll have us) next time we need a sitter! “Jennifer was AWESOME, and I loved spending time with her!” - ? ❤️? Risotto”

“Lover of all animals. Amy is an excellent animal caregiver. Polite, punctual and my pets are always happy to see her. Highly recommend Amy and her pet sitting services.”

About: I have owned and cared for my own pets, and cared for my friends pets when they leave out of town. I’ll walk them, feed them, and give medications if need be. I do work a full time time job, but can be a little flexible just a little communication and can work things out for a daily or weekly routine. Play with your pet, go on walks to tire them out, give some good belly rubs, and of course feed them and bathe them if possible.

“Max will go above and beyond your expectations of a dog walker. He is punctual, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. He cares about your dog's comfort and welfare and will treat your dog like it's one of his own. Your dog is going to love him!”

“Jennifer is the best! Our dogs love her and she takes special care of our aging guy who needs diapering, a coat, booties etc., which can be a lot to manage. I have such peace of mind knowing my beloved pets are in such good hands.”

“Absolutely awesome care. Tessa took wonderful care of our little guy and the house as well. I would highly recommend and use her again. Thank you again for the peace of mind!”

“Super reliant and helpful with my 3 pups and kitty! They are very communicative and always send updates and pictures of the boys which makes me happy because I do miss them while away.”

“Carissa is amazing! Our pups love her as do we! We can’t thank her enough for helping us out with our two pups! We will miss her when we move!”

About: Many years of family pet and personal dog experience. I am comfortable at handling pullers and leash reactive dogs. When possible I like to visit trails for walks. Our current favorites are the Centennial Park trails. I have Fridays and weekends open with a high level of flexibility to get out of the house for walks and adventures out on the trails. I am most comfortable having dogs on leashes during walks and crating them when I leave the house but am flexibile to the routine and schedule the animals are most accustomed to.

“Reliable and knowledgeable Rover! I highly recommend.”

“Aizada took care of my pup when I was out of state and I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking to find a pet sitter or a dog walker! She made sure my puppy got enough exercise and provided him with a fun and loving environment. 💕She also was great with communication and was always on time! If you need a reliable person who will give attention and great care of your dog definitely do not hesitate to reach out to Aizada, you will not be disappointed! 😊”

“Jennifer was able to come on short notice. She arrived on time and sent me pictures of the kitties. When we arrived home, everything was clean and kitties were happy and fed. I will be reaching out again for our next trip.”

“Reliable and helped reassure my timid dog”

“Ruth went above and beyond! I 100% recommend her. When we first met she even gave me tips on ways I can train Harvey. I didn’t expect her to do everything she did with my boy… She walked him and even played with him when all we scheduled was a drop-in so I really appreciate that. She also took many many pictures for me and I always love seeing my boy. I would book with her again :)”

“Deanna is reliable and great with our dogs! We love using her!”

“Anni is an all round amazing animal person. She is very passionate about the well-being of cats especially and has volunteered countless hours to the local cat rescue. She knows just about anything there is to know about cats and cat care. I trust her with any animal and know they are in the right hands.”

About: Hi, I'm Katie! I've cared for dogs my entire life-- my family adopted and gave a safe home numerous dogs throughout my childhood. I helped care for them in every way: feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, cleaning up, administering medicine, playing and socializing. I don't have any pets of my own right now, so I miss being around dogs. I look forward to meeting yours! I work 2 days a week, but otherwise I am free to house sit or board smaller dogs in my home. I live in Girdwood so I am more able to commit to longer house sits in Girdwood than in Anchorage. I have no pets of my own, so there are no chances for conflict between animals. I have a small place in Girdwood, so I can board small/medium breeds of dogs only.

“Sarah is an incredible as a pet caregiver. She is sensitive to respecting dog’s boundaries and understanding the level of interaction they may want or not want from a caregiver. She is patient in earning the trust of animals and devoting in the love and care she gives. You can trust any pet in her care will be safe and loved and she will go above and beyond to meet their specific needs.”
