“Kalista has been the BEST with our Husky/GSD mix pup!! He’s 75lbs with a big personality, and she handled him so wonderfully! She always sends pictures and updates and it makes me feel so much more comfortable leaving Sam when I head to work! Kalista goes above and beyond for her clients. I wouldn’t have survived my husbands deployment without her and even his transition home/our long work hours! Sam literally goes insane with excitement when Kalista comes and I couldn't be happier with the way she’s cared for him as if he’s her own pup!”
About: Growing up, we always had multiple pets in our home. I think that really shaped me to become the animal lover I am today. I have experience training dogs, mostly obedience, but some tricks as well. I think friends and family would say that I am reliable and caring pet sitter! I work, but I love taking time out of my day to care for pets! It breaks up the day so nicely in my opinion. At my home, there is a fenced yard and my goldendoodle loves playing with friends. At other people's homes, I am very attentive to make sure nothing happens to your furry friend.
“I highly recommend Rian as pet sitter/walker! She responds right away, checks in frequently, is really friendly, and took great care of my pup! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I have a cat, two Mackenzie River huskies and two hermit crabs. Having grown up around pets all my life, I know how to take good care of them and keep them happy. I have also taken care of cats, dogs, chickens and gardens for neighbors and friends. As a college student, I take care of my pets and other people's pets during my summer and winter breaks when I am home in Fairbanks. I will ensure that your pets are happy and safe when I take care of them. I will make sure that their needs are met and all instructions you provide are followed. You can be confident that your pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve been a dog owner in the past for many years and enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch or just showing them lots of love! I currently have a dog and 2 cats of my own that my parents watch for me while I’m doing a sitting job. I do have some experience with training and teaching commands if needed. I am not able to have your dog at my apartment but am willing to come to you to help any way I can! I am using this service out to make some extra cash but also to appease my animal loving heart as well! :) Your pet(s) will be in good hands with me! I work “bankers hours” so I am free on nights and some weekends depending on my schedule and previous commitments but generally plenty of free time. I am always concerned for my own pets health and happiness and do any and everything I can do to make sure they’re living their best life. I will mostly be free for nights and weekends. I don’t usually plan much, especially in the winter, so I have plenty of free time! My cats have plenty of toys and 2 towers to climb on. They are always fed and watered and are always good for a cuddle.
“Thank you Heidi for taking care of my boy! She was great, she walked my dog for a week while I was working long hours so he could go potty and stretch his legs. She was very quick to respond to messages and sent pictures of their walks. I will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I really love animals, and understand how important getting out is for their well being. When they’re happy, I’m happy! I am currently a full time student, and am living away from my own dog so I hope to get as much dog sitting time as possible. I love to to go on walks, and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I will make sure your pets get some good exercise and socialization, but will pay careful attention to make sure they don’t get into mischief!
About: I'm a clean college student who loves dogs, cats, rats, and bats! You name it, I will be happy to take care of it. Vacations can be stressful when it comes to animal care, trust me, I know. But I'm here to put your mind at ease! I'm a homegrown Alaska, my classes are 100% online, and I'm naturally a homebody, so that means I'll be with your pet from the moment you leave until you get back. I'm happy to take care of all types of dogs, old or young, big or small! I'm comfortable giving medication, shots, and even handling some of the grosser parts of pet care. Just need a dog walker or a drop-in? I can do that too! I've been walking dogs in negative temps since before I can remember, and I'm well equipped to do so. I can't wait to take care of your pet! I'm not a partier, and all my classes are online, so I'm free for most, if not all, of each day. I have a dog myself, so walking, feeding, and taking care of animals is already in my routine. I'm ready to make sure your pet has as good a day as any other! I've lived in many different situations, always with at least two dogs, so I'm used to it all. Have a free-roaming dog that you can just let walk out the door? Me too! Need to keep your dog on a lead when they're outside? I've done that as well. You know your dog best, and whatever instructions you give me, I will follow.
About: I have a wide variety of experience working with animals. I spent years working at animal shelters and boarding kennels, have fostered over 30 rescue dogs with behavioral issues, helped train search and rescue and sled dogs. I also have two wonderful rescue pups of my own :) I love dogs and other animals of all ages, temperaments, and sizes and would love the chance to care for yours! I have experience giving medications as well and, if this service is required, you can feel confident that medications will be given on time and accurately. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated kindly and as one of my own. I would be happy to work with any special needs or requirements and do whatever it takes to keep you and your pet happy. I like to go with the energy of the pups I have in the house- if it feels like a lazy morning, we will relax and cuddle until we are ready to go. Other times we can get up and moving, hitting the trails as the sunrise is coming up. I am pretty high-energy myself and will be sure to exercise your pup regularly/get their energy out! I do not have a fenced yard but will be outside with your pups while they are at all times. If you are most comfortable with them remaining on-leash, I will happily leash-walk them for potty breaks.

I provide care for all types of critters from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, reptiles, fish, chickens…you name it!

Animal welfare is one of my greatest passions. All animals in my care are treated with kindness and respect, as if they were one of my own. Comfort and safety is my top priority!
