Dog Boarding in Anchorage

I have had dogs for 20+ years. Currently, I have one small dog that I absolutely love! Love to walk dogs and cuddle with them and watch them play. I'm not working outside of my home so I am home most days and I let the dogs in and out frequently—I’m the automatic door opener. Dogs are allowed on furniture, provided that is acceptable to you. I am available on short notice. Want the dogs to have a fun experience so only well-behaved dogs are allowed. Dogs must be current with vaccinations. Sorry, but I will not accept pit bulls due to my own experience with one. I watch a variety of dog sizes. Available for dog boarding, drop-in visits and day care. Take care!

I’ve had dogs my whole life and have cared for others’ dogs my whole adult life. I’ve been blessed to have my dogs live long lives, which has afforded me much experience in the care of elders and medical/health issues. I am certified through Dogsafe in Canine First Aid and CPR after a comprehensive, hands-on 8 hour class and testing. My canine partner, Griz, is sweet,

mellow, and gets along with everyone. We have a large, fenced yard. While dogs are welcome to be loose in the house, I also have a walk-in kennel with raised floor in the heated garage and a extra-large wire kennel in the house for those who prefer cozier accomodations at times. Guests are welcome to bring their own crates and beds and there are lots of cozy spots here already as well. I’m happy to provide frequent communication, updates, and fun photos while your dog(s) enjoy their time with Griz and I.

Lucky 'n Alaska Dog Vacay

Pets deserve the best and that is the kind of care that is provided by Ginger at Lucky 'n Alaska Dog Vacay. She, her adult daughter or son, can provide constant companionship for your pet. Located in a large home with room to share with your loved furry family member, we treat them as we do our own family members. We provide many options for where your pet can sleep: crates available, couches or dog beds, we cater to your needs. There is a fenced yard for unlimited outside time, with 6ft fence, security lighting and camera. Your pet will be loved and very well cared for. Ginger has worked in a pet clinic and can give medications to dog if necessary. Baths and some grooming available.

I have six years of experience as a certified veterinary technician. I have seven (7) years experience in dog sitting, dog walking, and housesitting. I've been a foster mom for dogs and cats, and I have found homes, good homes, for many.

My husband and I do this full time, so our energy and focus is 100% on your babies and one of us is at the house all day, so they aren't ever left in crates. We have flexible hours, so you can drop off and pick up when it's convenient for you, and we provide an array of services. Besides exercising, and walking your pets, we will also check mail, turn on any lights in the house while you're on vacation, and take care of any other pets such as snakes, goldfish, gerbils, hamsters, rats, whatever you have. We also do special little things like write notes of activity for what your pet has done while you were gone if that's the type of thing you enjoy. We will always leave your home as clean of it cleaner than we found it and if we stay there, we will wash the sheets before we leave.

If you fur baby requires special care or services, we do that too. We can pick up/drop off animals at houses, airports, vet clinics, etc. Anything that your furry family member needs, we can do. We can administer any medications, whether subcutaneously, (Sub-Q), intravenously, (IV), intramuscularly, (IM), or orally. We also offer extra services besides medication such as:

- brush outs

- dematting

- clipping nails

- ear cleaning

- baths *depending on size and hair length

- anal gland expression

We love animals, and we're super excited to be given the privilege and honor of getting to know your fur babies!!

Hi there! I live in East Anchorage with my husband and our dogs, Bear & Margot. My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will get tons of love, playtime, and attention during his/her stay - and you'll get frequent updates and photos from us.

We have a fenced yard, so fetch, tug, and tag are on the agenda everyday. Baxter Bog is also nearby, which is great for walks or jogs when the weather is right. There are endless possibilities, and multiple dog beds around the house when it's finally time for a nap.

Finding a home away from home for your dog can be daunting, but you can rest assured he/she will have a safe, fun, and cozy staycation with us!

Big and little dogs love our fenced in back yard. We keep a trail shoveled for our own little yorkies, so littles feel comfortable even in winter running around. We have 2 aging fur babies. They love the freedom to be able to run without being on a leash and I feel more comfortable with them than at the dog park.

Along with our fur babies, we have a non fur baby of our own. We have baby gates throughout the house to keep dogs separate from the baby unless we are right there to watch them. We have tons of dog beds for their comfort and always collecting new ones, because we want them to be comfortable too. We try to keep them off our furniture, but sometimes that is not always possible when we were pretty lax in the early stages of their life. Now that we have a non fur baby, we are trying to be better.

We love animals of all types and think helping people feel comfortable with knowing that their pets are in good hands while they are out of town fits our lifestyle.

My wife (Lahela) and I live in a comfy home with a nice big backyard for lots of running around. We've had many years of experience with our own personal pets and others that we've taken care of. We really believe in loving our furry children with all our hearts and they are definitely family members. When your dog(s) stay with us we will treat them like our own. And while we have 4 dogs of our own, there's a lot of attention to go around for our guests. Our dogs are very friendly and love playing with friends, big and small. We are good about introducing new friends to our dogs appropriately and making sure that everyone gets along. We also do not feed our pets any table food and believe in healthy eating habits (we feed our pups twice a day and are willing to work with you on your pup's needs). Our three big dogs are crated when we go out for short periods of time (or else they eat the house!) and at most we will be away for maybe 2-4 hours. Please let us know if you prefer your pup left out or crated when we are away (either is totally fine). When we are home our dogs have free range and spend lots of supervised time outside in the backyard. They are also allowed on our furniture and sometimes sleep in our bed (even though they have their own dog beds), but if you would prefer that your pet not learn those habits please let us know and we will make sure everyone stays off the furniture together!

Why we love dog sitting:

We've loved dogs since we were children. We grew up with dogs as pets and we continue to have dogs as part of our family now. We've had small (lhasa apso, silky terrier, etc.) and very large dogs (lab, husky/wolf, pitbull, saint bernard, bernese mountain dog, etc.) with anything in between so we definitely welcome dogs of all sizes into our home!!

About my yard

We have a backyard that is fenced with lots of room to run around and play.

My experience administering medication

We am comfortable administering medication - just let me know the dosage and frequency then consider it done.

I am the proud mama of a sweet Lab/Mastiff, Bronson, who is a lovable forever puppy that gets along extremely well with others 💕. I was medically retired after serving 8 years on active duty in the Army & I am currently a student at UAA majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Behavior Analysis. I have previous experience fostering dogs until they were able to find their forever homes & I loved every second of it 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, & on short notice for when life happens & you need someone to make sure your pet is getting the love, care, & attention they deserve when you are away.

WHAT TO BRING WHEN BOARDING YOUR PET: Enough of your pet’s usual food for the duration of the stay, leash, & collar with tags.

LOCATION:

I am located in NE Anchorage— 6 minutes from JBER’s Boniface gate, 12 minutes from Downtown Anchorage, & 24 minutes from Ted Stevens International Airport ✈️.

• The Municipality of Anchorage requires that all dogs are licensed (https://goo.gl/9nvK5i) & up to date on their rabies vaccination 💉.

I believe in treating clients and their pets like friends and family. I strive to provide professional, reliable and caring services when and where they are needed.

I desire to be the best in the business and provide safe and fun interactions for your pets while going on walks, during structured play time, in home pet boarding and while house sitting. You, the client and your pet/s are my top priority.

I have had dogs, cats and lots of other animals throughout my life time, I currently have a dog of my own. I worked for a dog boarding kennel for several years and enjoy working with lots of different animals. While working at the kennel I also learned how to bathe dog and cats for the onsite groomer.

I am currently a stay at home/homeschool mom for my two sons (ages 12 & 15) so we spend a lot of time at home and will interact with your pet as often as we can. We can also watch other animals, even exotics and fish. We have hosted a bunny and several guinea pigs and enjoyed them very much.

Billing is per 24 hour period, if the stay goes more than 6 hours into the next period, the bill will be modified to show an additional day.

If hours for pick up and drop off are selected it’s easier for me to ensure the correct bill is sent, if pick up/drop off aren’t selected during booking, additional charges may be requested after the stay is completed.

Extended stay rates apply (lower prices) for any booking longer than 10 days and I do a 10% discount for walks or drop in visits booked 10 at a time. I’ll also provide an additional 5% discount for anyone who books 10 or more services/dates At least 2 weeks in advance.

Services will be modified once booking is approved.

***** I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY ANIMALS WITH AGGRESSION

***** ALL VACCINES MUST BE UP TO DATE AND PROOF REQUIRED - photo/s of current rabies vaccines accepted.

*****I DO take last minute clients, but MUST get proof of ALL vaccinations prior to the start of the stay and THERE MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS! Thanks

Raechel and I would love to sit your dog! Very close to the airport - 24 hour pickup/dropoff okay. We send lots of pictures and videos. We are life long animal lovers and have experience with all types and ages of dogs (we'll take care of senior dogs, no problem). We have a small yard for quick trips outside. Also, two beautiful parks are just a 5 minute car ride away for more adventurous outings. If you are in need of a fun, responsible, and caring dog sitter then we are it. We typically only sit one dog at a time. Thanks so much and we look forward to meeting you.

Why I love dog sitting

I grew up with cats and my fiancé grew up with dogs. We have always had animals in our homes and really wouldn't know what to do if we didn't.

About my yard

We have a small yard outside of our apartment door that is great for exploring. It is not fenced in, so visiting dogs stay on leashes.

My experience administering medication

We are comfortable administering medication.
