“Sierra is prompt and followed directions well for our pups. She took great care of them! I will be using her for our future dog care needs from now on.”

“I thought Erica was awesome! My dog did, too! Not only did she walk him, she allowed him to play with a lab of similar age & when my dog returned, he was actually exhausted!!! I thought it could not be done. Thank you, Erica! I highly recommend her!!!”

“Sarah is a reliable dog-walker, gets my pup great exercise on her walks with him, follows any instructions we have, asks questions, responds quickly, and gets the cutest pics of our boy! I have used her as a dog-walker multiple times now and will continue to in the future. Thanks Sarah!”


“Great with my pup! Warren has great communication and gives detailed updates about their walking adventures. He even cleaned Achilles up after a tromp through the mud before letting him back in the house! Will definitely continue their walks, Achilles is always one happy doggo when he gets home.”


“Nevada provided great communication. Thanks for helping with Beauty!!”


About: Hello! I am a 31 year old rescue mommy of a 7 month old tortoiseshell kitten named Lizzie and I am a former dog grooming apprentice who has experience in animal product services (food, general medication, etc) and have owned mainly large breed dogs (Rottweilers and American Bulldogs) my whole life! I have done intern work at a veterinary clinic in the past and have worked with dog trainers as well! I have also owned small animals (rodents) and reptiles and am comfortable handling them. And of course, I love cats too! My best availability would be Monday-Friday in the morning and afternoon hours. Thank you for reading through my profile! I am a stay at home wife with my tortoiseshell kitten Lizzie so my availability is flexible to work with your work and travel schedules! I believe in a patient approach when meeting new animals of any species and I go at their own pace. A soft hand and even softer voice are the key elements to the beginning of every animal friendship and your pet’s safety and comfort is my number one priority!


“Takes good care of my old man dog :)”


“Ninia has done a wonderful job at walking Denali! She has been kind, a great communicator, asked some great questions that I did not think of, and really seems to care for animals so much! I’m thankful I have found her!”


About: I have one year of experience working in a boarding kennel where I worked with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals. I learned how to administer medications such as pills and even insulin to both cats and dogs. I’ve worked with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs and am able to help train the younger pups! I am currently working split shifts, 7:30am-11:30am & 2pm-6pm at a pet boarding facility. I’m working Thurs-Sat and can do drop in visits on those days and stay any other days needed! I will easily follow any instructions given along with frequent potty breaks, enrichment/playtime with your pups, feeding/water when needed or if any medications are needed, all while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable at all times!

“Joy always takes such great care of our pups! They have a great time with her. She is very reliable and prompt with her communication. We highly recommend!”

“Ashley was great! We planned a last min day trip and she was able to check in on our fur kiddos no problem. Both were happy when we got home. 😊”


About: I am comfortable with and love all age and ability dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life, and I can give your dog any special care or attention he/she needs. We have a very friendly and loving 1 year old husky mix, Nali, to keep your dog company. She is very friendly and submissive, so she does not do well with aggressive dogs. Over the past year, we've gone through extensive one-on-one training with Nali, and I've received a lot of training myself on either care or training or even just reading dogs. I work from home most days of the week, and if I have to go into the office, my partner, Ben, works from home fulltime. We have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to romp around in, and I can take them for a walk around the neighborhood or out on the trails any time. I go for runs, if your dog is very energetic and is used to that, too! Anything you need, just let me know and I am here to treat your dog like they are my own. :) I work from home three days a week, and on days I do go into the office, my partner works from home fulltime. I don't work on weekends, and our plans usually revolve around our dog, Nali, and I am so happy to include your dog in those plans. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and play together in. I also have more than enough space for you to bring your own dog's bed, kennel, etc. if that helps her/him to be more comfortable. I have a couple dog beds and plenty of dog toys to keep your own fur baby occupied, and we are more than happy to take your dog out with us on walks and hikes. :) Also, I will definitely send you photos of your pet while I'm with them!

About: Hi there! My name is Wendy and I live in Eagle River, AK! I am looking to make a little extra income! (It’s pricey here!) I looove all animals and promise to love yours like my own. My husband and I had a 17y/o husky and i have plenty of experience with active pups! I grew up with big dogs but love the littles just the same. I work and do contract work for a few non profits and I have a real passion for helping people. We are quite an active household and I love meeting new folks ... I’m originally from Wisconsin and am a hardcore Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers fan! I’d love to meet you and your fur babies! Cheers to beautiful Alaska ! 😁 I am currently working from home… so I have the freedom to spend some time with your pups and give them some attention during the day! I have a fenced in yard and love the location and dog friendliness of my neighborhood. If needed, I can crate/ kennel your dog if needed.

“Gloria takes great care of my senior dog and is awesome at communicating.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind. From feeding and bathing to house sitting and walking. Beginning with my own pets to neighbors and my friend’s pets. I am currently enrolled in online college classes and am free to take care of animals whenever needed. I have a very flexible daily schedule I have been lucky enough to call my self a pet owner of two wonderful cats and an adorable golden doodle, for the last few years and have been around dogs and cats my whole life:)!

“Prompt and reliable. Will use again!”



“This was our first walk with Carissa and all went well! She was on time, she did great with Lucy and locked up when she was done. Little report and picture at the end. We will be using Carissa again if available for our future needs! :)”


“Very professional and great to work with. Great with my black lab! Highly recommend Carolyn!”


About: Hello my name is Michaela! I thoroughly enjoy animals and find joy in spending time with them. I treat my dog and my roommates pets with care, respect and lots of love (including a major collection of toys, treats and dog bones made in Ak). I have grown up with pets my whole life, from cats, dogs, fish, turtles and even a hedgehog. I am very confident in caring for cats and dogs and look forward to meeting yours! Since I’m a teacher i’m currently busy from 9-4 Monday - Friday but at the end of May I will be completely free and have open availability! To care for your pets i like to take notes on what you tell me and use that information instead of just assuming we care for our pets the same way!
