About: With over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for three beloved dogs of my own; Noah, Nala, and Niko, I understand what it takes to keep your furry friend happy, safe, and loved. My passion for animals and commitment to their wellbeing means they are in caring, experienced hands from your takeoff to your touchdown home. I'm centrally located in Juneau, and my home features a dedicated boarding space designed specifically for your dog's comfort, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and a calm environment. My fully fenced yard gives your furry friend plenty of secure space to play, run, and soak up the Juneau air—and I'm close to beautiful trails for adventures with dogs who love to explore! Every dog that stays with me receives personalized attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I'm experienced caring for all ages, breeds, and sizes, and I'm fully equipped to handle medication administration and dietary restrictions with confidence and care. Whether your pup has special needs or is perfectly healthy, I've got you covered. Your best friend deserves the best care. Let me show you why so many Juneau families trust me with their pups! I successfully balance an office job with quality pet care—and it works because I'm organized, reliable, and passionate about both. My office schedule allows me to provide consistent, dependable care for your dog without compromise. During work hours, your pup enjoys regular check-ins and frequent breaks. After 5 pm and on weekends, when I'm fully available, your furry friend gets my undivided attention—playtime, adventures in the yard and on nearby trails, and the kind of personalized care that makes every stay special. With over 14 years of experience and a household full of personality, I know that every dog is different. My pack includes two senior dogs and a spirited one-year-old Australian Shepherd—all who love outdoor adventures. This means your dog gets to choose their vibe. Whether your furry friend wants to kick back and relax with the calm senior crew inside, or bounce around outside in the fully fenced yard playing with our energetic Shepherd, there's something for every dog at Happy Howls. I'm centrally located in Juneau with convenient drop-off and pick-up. I handle all ages, breeds, and sizes, and I'm experienced with medication administration and dietary restrictions. Your pup receives frequent breaks and attention throughout the day, with full availability after 5 pm and on weekends for extra playtime and cuddles. Separate boarding space available for dogs who are more comfortable being crated throughout the day—because I believe every pup should feel at home here. Your best friend deserves care that fits their personality. Let me show you why Juneau families trust Happy Howls!
