Dog Boarding in Bear Valley, Anchorage

“Mandy was awesome with our English lab! Before our trip she let us have a meet n greet to make sure our animals were all friendly. Definitely went above and beyond with everything. Hope Mandy will want to watch Lucy again in the future! 👍👍”

“Tilly loved Orawan! Kisses when they met and kisses goodbye ? . We really felt she looked after Tilly like she was her own dog. We received pictures and updates regularly and she was so nice to wash Tilly’s bedsheet so that it was fresh and clean to come back with us in the campervan. We would definitely request Orawan if we needed dogsitting again.”

“Scott is one of those people that dogs instantly get along with. My dog is needy and gets anxious but Scott took care of him fantastic! I get anxious too when I have to go somewhere without my dog but leaving him with Scott eases my mind.”

“Huw and Jolynne were wonderful. I received updates and pictures so I knew my girl was being well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of my Olive.”

“Madeline and Karen are THE best!! They came to our rescue when we were out of town and our lab with anxiety was struggling at another home. They picked him up and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. They sent plenty of updates and asked questions to make our lab as comfortable as possible. They played lots of fetch, went on walks, lots of cuddles, sent a pic with our water loving lab in a pool in their yard, and even helped treat an ear infection. I felt so much better once they had our dog and from the pictures they were sending I could tell our dog was happier too! Cannot recommend them enough!!”

“Excellent communicator with very prompt responses who took excellent care of the dogs! The boys are already looking forward to have Addie watch them again!”

“Jennifer was amazing with my skittish pup. She has two sweet dogs, one of which is a big, lovable German Shepard who at first made my little pup nervous, but with Jennifer's oversight the two were soon getting along no problem. I came home to a happy dog!”

“Wow, this is the best place ever! I searched around and checked with many sitters to find the right match and I couldn’t be happier with Katie. I have an active 11 month old puppy who needs a lot of exercise and who can be a handful but is also a big sweetie. We hadn’t left her with anyone before so I was very nervous. I didn’t need to worry, because it was perfect. They have a huge fenced yard so Rosie was able to run and play and she had so much fun with the other dogs. She was a little sad the first night (as I expected with it being a new place ) but Katie handled it perfectly. When I brought Rosie back for a second visit, she was whining in excitement and couldn’t wait to jump out of the car and go inside. Katie and her husband have a lot of experience with puppies and were the perfect balance of boundaries and love for my energetic puppy. I am so glad I found them and will be bringing Rosie over for many other visits in the future!”

“Jordan and her husband were great. Rubí felt right at home. Prearranged a meet and greet with their golden retriever to make sure that our pups played well together. And they’re were very accommodating for pick up and drop off for a small minimal fee. Definitely recommend them in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Iain seemed really nice and had obviously taken my dog for routine walks. Great experience!”

“Emely was fantastic. She communicated regularly, sent pics and made us feel very comfortable having our two dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”

“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”

“We boarded our dog with Sharon and Michael right before moving because our dog was getting anxious with everything getting packed up, and they did a great job with him! It was clear that he felt safe there and they were great at communicating with me and flexible when we needed to change pick up times!”

About: My love of animals is obvious when I interact with them. I have had dogs for most of my adult life. I have senior and puppy dog experience. I am happy to chill with a senior who needs more low key interaction or work on potty training or whatever command(s) your puppy is working on. I have great working knowledge of beginning stress behaviors in dogs, and can therefore act appropriately to get them to a comfortable place away from the threat. Or just wear your puppy out while you’re at work. I am extremely versatile and want to work with you so that your animal is not only comfortable, but hopefully finds a friend in me. Your animal’s safety is my top priority, and then of course fun. I take on the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I am not currently working right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do have other obligations, but my s nestle is probably more flexible and open than many sitters. In my home I have two kids, 3 and 9 that have been raised around multiple dogs their entire lives. I wouldn’t bring my children into a client’s home, but they may be in my home- more or less depending on the week. My pup is crate trained, but is allowed on furniture and sleeps with us every night. When we lost our seniors pretty close together my eldest took it rough, (me too). Lucy, now 2 has been a joy to play with and train. She knows many commands and tricks. I am happy to do as little as food and water with a pat on the head, to walks, to hanging out with doggos while you’re working and happy to help if you’re out of town. I can do recurring or one time. My schedule is open and many Alaskans travel for work and play. I think my availability is a great way for us to work out possibly complicated routines. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Isabelle did a great job of watching Piper! She got lots of play and I received pics daily! I would definitely recommend Isabelle for boarding.”

“Ashley was great! We needed to find a place at the last minute for our dog for a couple nights. Great communication and she was able to accommodate some minor schedule changes, which was a big help. And, she took great care of our dog, who said he had a blast!”

“Kerri & Julian were awesome with Reece & Roxy. I received pics and videos daily for updates. I’m sure they had an absolute blast with George as well! 10/10 recommend for your puppy care while away! Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

“I have dogs that are rescued and have been wary of people and Olya is compassionate towards them and understands their boundaries and fears around new people. I believe she will be great with anyone’s pets and be a great friend to the pups too.”

“Lisa is amazing and caterers very specific needs for my Charlie. Here dogs really helped with my dogs temperament and when I got him back it was like he had visited a dog whisperer! The fenced yard ensured that ge was getting ample exercise (which he needs) with their dogs. My whole trip, I was getting updates, photos and videos of my dog. They ha e a special cat that likes to play with dogs. This was a great interaction because now I don't need to worry about Charlie attacking Cats... the whole experience was amazing and I will repeat next week when I travel again. I highly recommend!”

“Amanda and her family took care of my dog very well. She was consisted in updates how my dog is doing which I really appreciated. She treated my dog like her own dogs. I would definitely hire her again. Highly recommended. Thank you Amanda!!”
