Dog Walking In Chugiak

“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.”

“Paulina did so great with our pups! Finding a dog lover we can trust is hard when you think no one can love your pup the way you do. I highly recommend her services if your pet needs love, care, playtime, or just a walk when you can't be there! She also took the most adorable pictures and sends us detailed messages! I will be booking again with Paulina!”

About: I have years of experience dealing with dogs and cats of all ages, including fosters with behavioral and medical issues that needed special attention. I work from home, so I’m able to spend lots of extra time with animals that need extra attention. I work from home full-time, so being available during the day is super easy. I also love to stay active, so long walks and hikes are a breeze! I’m also great at nail trims, even on less than willing participants. I’m super flexible in terms of feeding times, bathroom breaks, etc. I’m also a big believer that no one should come home to a dirty house after a trip, so you can expect things to be at least as clean as you left them.

“Sarah took Shadow on a vigorous walk & he was able to do all his business. Shadow loves Sarah & can't wait to head out on a walk with her when she arrives!”

About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. I have one dog, Ricco, who is great with other pups of all sizes and ages. We have a large intended yard that’s great for fetch and trails nearby for walks or runs! I work 7.5hrs per day, MWF I work from home and TR I work in Wasilla. I like to take the fur babes everywhere that I can, just to get them out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I understand the full range of care from early training to senior needs. My oldest dog is 11 and my youngest is 8. This gives me experience with all ranges of dog care from puppy routines, basic training, and providing extra patience and comfort for aging dogs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher on summer vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to be available for consistent visits, walks, and extra attention to meet each pet’s individual needs. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.

“Alejandra took excellent care of my dog Finn while I was on a 2 week long trip. Communication was excellent and I genuinely felt like she enjoyed spending time with Finn. Don’t hesitate to book Alejandra for whatever pet care needs you have - dog walking, house sitting, etc. She is very reliable and professional.”

About: I enjoy keeping cats and dogs well and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve had many cats and a couple of dogs. I know leash commands and I like walking. I’ll keep you updated about your pets. Other than an 8-day trip in mid July, I’m available for pet care. I can work with your schedule and I’m eager to meet new clients I'm careful to protect your security while you are away. Your privacy is very important. I will visit your pets to keep them healthy and put them at ease while you are away.

About: I have puppy sat for a couple years now. I love all animals and I’m very physically fit to take care of them. I can’t have a puppy of my own right now so I love taking care and spending time with them when I can. I’m available 24/7 right now. Animals can’t stay at my place, but I am free to stay with them overnight or whatever is needed. I can stay weekends as well. I can stay with the Dog/pup 24/7. I can stay overnight, take them on walks, any kind of care that is needed I can take care of.

About: Ever since I was young I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds at younger ages as well! I bond very well with animals and I treat them like they're a human too, it's instinct. I always wanted what's best for animals because they can't talk so I want to be their voice and opinion for them! I will be avaialble and open Monday-Sunday, so I'll have lots of time to tend to many furry companions! I work part-time for the time being but am open to expanding my schedule! I can easily meet each owners needs on their companions! If you need anything in particular just let me know and I'll accommodate to each individual!

About: I’m not a teen :) so I will show up without fail on time every time. I’m not the cheap option but I guarantee that there’ll be no surprises if you hire me. If you have multiple pets, please reach out to me, we can discuss a personalized rate. I am around dogs and cats all my life, that’s my happy place and I love every aspect of it, even the not so glamorous parts like cleaning, listening to barking, or dealing with emergencies. I worked at a pet Resort for years here in Alaska working with all types of furry friends. I have a soft spot for seniors, I also have a lovely old lady in my home, a 12 year old German Shepherd, Molly. If I may suggest something to any pet owner in our valley: please don’t choose your sitter based on who’s the cheapest available option… taking care of your pets in your home is a big responsibility. Great joy as well of course but it must be done with 100% attention, care and love. I can promise that 100% because that’s the only setting in my book when it comes to animals. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help, I would love to be there for you and for your pets. I raised three children, all grown-up now. I have the time now for your pets. Because of my love for animals, I look forward to helping you when you need it! Safety is THE most important aspect of taking care of a pet, so before I start working with one I always have multiple questions to the owner. Knowing your doggie, knowing the routine, the environment etc is a crucial factor in providing a safe and quality service.

“Love the pictures!”

About: Thank you so much for your consideration and reading my profile! I am comfortable with animals of all sizes large and small! I’ve worked as a ranch hand and ridden horses for many years and have a special love for them. I am a NAVTA certified veterinary assistant, a fear free certified handler, have dog/cat first aid + CPR certification, currently work at a general practice veterinary clinic, and have countless of hours of experience of petsitting, shelter work, and more, so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands! I know all about the quirks and special things needed to make all kinds of animals happy ♥️ I am typically very flexible with your needs! The information on here is not set in stone and I pride myself in being affordable and reliable while providing exceptional pet care. My calendar fills up quickly from both Rover and outside bookings, but please do not hesitate to reach out even if I have dates booked on my calendar! All funds that I receive from petsitting are put towards getting my own horse and saving for veterinary school. I am incredibly grateful for your trust and support. I am a student at UAA, currently work at a vet clinic, and have several outside commitments in preparation for vet school, so my schedule can get busy! However, I always make sure your pets is a priority, and am more than happy to discuss my scheduling in very specific detail with you. I completely understand if your pets needs do not align with my schedule, but would love to touch base to see if we could make it work! Weekends are my best availability, but I specialize in staying at your home so that your animal has the comfort and familiarity of somewhere they know! I prefer to stay overnight to ensure as much care and time can be given to them, which works well with my class and work schedule because I can stop by and check on your babies multiple times a day! Your pet always comes first. I prefer to watch animals in your own home because it is somewhere they are comfortable and familiar with! Whether it’s cuddles, frisbee, or a good long walk, anything your pet needs it will get! Spoiling your babies while you’re away eases the burden of you being gone, and I will do absolutely everything to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!

“Michael was super communicative and quick to respond ! Pickles and Loki were very happy pups when I came home ! Would 10 out of 10 use again !”

About: **I travel a lot so don’t let my profile location deter you! I’ve travelled all over to sit and also travel on my own and am willing to use any excuse to travel :) I'm a professional, fun, and responsible traveling sitter! I've been petsitting for over 20 years now and have loved every minute of it! Several years ago I quit my corporate job to be able to travel and pet sit. I've been so fortunate that I've been able to travel all over the country spending time with incredible pets! I am enjoying the freedom of life so I'm willing to travel all over the US to petsit, so message me about sitting, no matter where you are located! As well as dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small rodents, and horses. What started as a "favor" to a coworker, has turned into over 2 decades of happiness, fun, and adventures in pet and house sitting! I have been highly sought after for my services and have even been flown around the country to care for pets. I love dogs and cats and completely understand how important it is to make them feel safe and loved while their family is away. I'm also well versed in what it takes to keep a house running while owners are away. I happily take care of any chores, ranging from tending of gardens to mail pickup. The care level I’ve given has varied from puppy house training, to older pets requiring advanced medical treatment. I have also volunteered and fostered with animal rescue for over 15 years, so I have dealt with a variety of dog behavioral issues. I've fostered dogs ranging from 4 week old bottle fed puppies to dogs recovering from traumatic surgeries. I'm a clean, respectable, and responsible adult. I'm a non-smoker, non-drug user, and non-drinker. I keep a very clean house and am always respectful of my surroundings. I'm friendly, patient, caring, gentle, and get along with everyone - human and non-human :) I love being out in nature and being active, but also don't mind spending time with those pets who just enjoy lounging around the house. I like to have a "meet and greet" prior to any commitments, to ensure that you and your pets are comfortable with me, and I'm able to provide what everyone needs. I care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that the clients and pets expect. If they are used to walks, they get walks. If they enjoy pool time, they get pool time. If they typically sleep on the bed with a human, they get that :) I’m all about what the pets are typically used to and enjoy! I do small amounts of work online, have to help out with family and friends in the area on occasion, and do have some drop-in and walking clients, but besides those small commitments, my time is dedicated to the animals I’m caring for. I’m all about the pet’s schedule and can usually accommodate it very well! I care for pets in the client’s home in hopefully the same manner they do! I want to learn and follow the pets’ routines and schedules so that clients returning home have a flawless transition.
