4. Olga M.

“Olga and her kids took such great care of Zeke. I got photo updates every day and she even bought him toys. Olga was super accommodating with drop off and pick up. We even had a meet and greet prior to the first day so Zeke would have at least met her before spending time with her. I highly recommend Olga as a dog sitter.”


5. Madeline & Karen W.

“Madeline and Karen are the BEST sitters in town. Trustworthy, compassionate, and just authentic love for dogs. They watched our Ozzy for a few days, this being his first time with a stranger and their dogs, and just completely made things easy. You can trust that they will know how to make your dog comfortable and safe! I don’t think Ozzy wanted to leave!”


6. Ralph S.

“Ralph did such an amazing job with my little chihuahua Dodge! He cuddled up with him everyday and Dodge bonded with Ralph so well!!! He seemed so relaxed and not stressed with the change in routine! I really appreciated the daily picture updates with how he’s doing. I would absolutely use Ralph again!”


7. Crystal W.
“Cima had a great stay at Crystal’s place. Thank you Crystal for watching our Cima! Looks like he had fun there outside in her fenced yard and we appreciated the photo updates. I do recommend Crystal.”


8. Trey K.


“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”


9. Amanda T.


“Amanda is incredible! This was my second time leaving my pup with her for an extended stay. My Golden turned 1 year while I was gone, and Amanda went above and beyond to make the day special with a puppy birthday cake and balloons and so much love! Amanda sends thoughtful updates and incredible pictures every day, which makes me feel reassured that she is in good hands. And I wish I had her grooming skills! Bennet was perfectly fresh and clean when I picked her up…. How does she get a dog to smell so good?! Definitely recommend Amanda for dog care!!”


10. Scott C.

“Scott was awesome with our dog. He took great care of him, was very knowledgeable on what he needed before we told him, and went above and beyond to make sure he felt at-home - he even brushed him! We'll certainly be looking to Scott in the future to watch our dog!”


11. Kathryn Elizabeth M.

“Our two big dogs did well here. Her dogs seemed to welcome their guests just fine. Our two were happy when we picked them up. and she was accommodating. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she took them on multiple walks. She sent us multiple photos each day as well. No complaints.”




12. Sharon & Michael C.


“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!”


13. Kirsten K.

“Kirsten was great! She took such good care of Loki and sent me an update daily. Loki loved playing with Kodi (her dog) too. I will definitely use her again!”


14. Liang Z.

“Very flexible and sent many pictures of my buddy Lincoln! I left anchorage on a work trip, so using the pickup/dropoff service was very convenient and allowed me to run last minute errands before the trip. I will be definitely be a repeat customer!”


15. Dawson D.
“Dawson was a roommate of mine for 2 years and he had a dog that lived with us and he took very good care of him and had the slightest instance where I felt that he didn’t care for him. Dawson is also a joyful character that is very active and would be great at caring for anyone’s pet.”
