“Emma was amazing with the dogs. She sent daily pictures, keeping 2 boys who missed their dogs very happy. Great communication from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Emma to keep your pets happy while you're away!”


“Mary did a great job caring for my two Golden Retrievers while I was on vacation for 12 days. I returned to happy, healthy dogs!! Mary was good about communicating each day on how things were going, and sent pics and videos of my girls! I would definitely hire her again 👍”


About: I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt. During this time, I adopted my first and third foster dogs, later welcoming a third rescue into my home. I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals. Additionally, I volunteered and worked at an animal sanctuary specializing in behavioral modification training, focusing on rehabilitating dogs with the most challenging backgrounds. I am currently employed full-time, working 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I base my life around the well being of my companion! I love my dog and his happiness means everything to me. I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.


“Ashley was just lovely to work with--our plans kept changing and she just rolled with it. It was very much appreciated. We have one cat that hides out and have had people stay with us before that never saw her once in a week. That cat was out and being sociable shortly after Ashley arrived which astonished me. She sent regular updates and pictures which was very kind of her since I'm a worrier by nature. Ashley is definitely on my list to contact when we travel again.”


“Kalista was the best!! Very flexible with plans and communicating! Always responds quickly and kept me updated with how the pups were doing throughout the day! Will be booking again!!”


“Miranda is INCREDIBLE. I almost want to leave a bad review so I can keep her to myself and no one will know how amazing she is. The communication was great - pictures with an update every morning and evening about not only our pets but the general state of the home. We will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend her enough!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Madeleine. She took great care of my dogs and even took them on a little outing. Not only did she look out for Poppy and Triton but after I came home from a weekend away, my house was immaculate! Madeleine went above and beyond and I am so genuinely grateful to have found her!”
