Laura was amazing! You could really tell she has a passion and love for animals and I felt confident my kitten was in great hands with her and I was right. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!

Mallory is the best! I can quite literally always count on her! My cats love her, and I always feel so reassured that they will be loved and cared for when I’m away. She’s my go-to for any drop in visits! Can’t recommend enough!

Zoe took excellent care of our dog and rabbit while we were on vacation. Our reactive dog and shy rabbit warmed right up to her. She is reliable, flexible, responsive, attentive to detail, and very tuned in to the animals needs. We will definitely hire her again in the future.

Very positive experience. We were even a last minute request and she was still able to find the time to help us. Mary was very considerate of our needs, maintained clear communication, and was patient while helping us work out how to use the Rover app. Our kitties were well tended to and everything went well with her as our sitter. 10/10, fully recommended to anyone needs their animals watched.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I can walk multiple dogs at once and love to spend time with cat. I am currently working full time at the blood bank so I cannot guarantee potty breaks during the day, but with Alaska daylight I can guarantee walks if needed. I have had a dog my whole life, I do not offer boarding personally but I can ensure that your pets will be safe with me.

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.

My first time trying Rover, and Veronica was great! Made it easy to schedule, was right on time, and, judging from the wiggly photos, my puppy loved her. A huge relief, to have someone able to take care of my dog while I was out of town, on fairly short notice. Thank you!!

About: My parents had a couple of litters of puppies when I was a child and I’ve been dog driven ever since. I don’t let the opportunity to greet a doggo pass me by. I am a massage therapist with a lot of daytime availability so I can break up the long work day for your fur babies needing exercise and love. My current dogs are very friendly with others and love to make new friends with proper supervision. I’m happy to be a part of your animals routine in their home environment as well. I have experience with on and off site pet sitting with both small and large breed animals.

About: Hi there! I truly enjoy spending time with pets and giving them the care they deserve. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, I’m not just “sitting” your pet—I’m bonding with them, playing, walking, and making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I also understand how important it is to respect your space. As a clean, responsible person, I always make sure to pick up after myself and leave your home in the same (or better!) condition than when I arrived. Whether I’m caring for your pet for a short visit or an extended stay, I treat your home with the utmost respect. With my background in Animal Science, I’m able to tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs—whether it’s giving medication, following a special routine, or simply providing extra love. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time, but I always make time for pets in my day. I structure my routine to ensure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I love starting the day with some playtime, fitting in a bathroom break or walk during my lunch hour, and spending quality time with your pet in the evening—whether that’s a walk or just some cozy snuggles. I'm someone who takes pride in cleanliness, so you can trust that your home will be treated with respect. I make sure everything stays neat and organized. Your pet’s care is my priority, but I also want you to feel confident that your home is in great hands! When I care for your pet in your home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all your instructions for feeding, medications, and daily routines, and I always keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I’m also very mindful of your home. I make sure your space is respected and left as it was. Whether I’m spending the day with your pet or looking after them for an extended period, I’ll ensure your pet has a great time, and your home is well cared for.

About: Why hello! What sets me apart from others is that I'm a 10+ working dog (K9) Handler and trainer. Pet dog trainer, as well. Outgoing and energetic, your dog will be kept on a leash, active (if they desire), loved & cared for like they deserve. Worked as well, and trained , dogs that have had behavioral or medical issues with a soft spot for seniors. Have a puppy? I've had plenty of those. As for other animals, have over 15 yrs experience caring for horses, goats, cats, birds, fish, lizards and hamsters. I'm close enough to home that the max my animals go with out a potty break is 4 to 5 hours. Have a Webcam set up to monitor when I'm away. I can house sit or have your pets in my home. I am surrounded by a gorgeous forest with a dog pen. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks daily as well.

About: I am a musher with 15 dogs, and just finished my rookie Iditarod. I have extensive knowledge in vet care including administrating medication, monitoring animals, emergency care, canine massages and snuggles!! Being a kennel owner, I am responsible for creating meal plans - keeping each dog at a healthy weight. Training and exercise plans - assuring each dog gets the right amount of exercise per day and creating “jobs” for the dogs who need that extra task. House training - training pets (specifically sled dogs) to make the transition into living in a house! While I cannot bring pets to my house, I am willing to travel for your pets in order to make each one as comfortable as possible while the owner is gone! I am currently in between jobs so most of my day is off making sure my dogs are enjoying their day and I would love to do the exact same with your pets! Unfortunately with a kennel of 15 dogs, I cannot bring pets to the house. However, I am willing to commute in order to give your pets the care they need - whether that be for feeding time, a walk/hike, or a simple check in.

About: Hi, I'm Dave! I have over 15 years of professional work experience and education in the animal care field; working with everything from rodents to horses, and everything in between! I've had the pleasure of helping out 20 different Fairbanks families so far and look forward to growing that circle soon! In 2009, I completed a vocational school program in Small Animal Science: a two-year course designed for training future veterinary technicians. From there I worked at several boarding kennels where I cared for dogs and cats staying for day care as well as boarding. I now have my B.S. in Wildlife Biology, but still enjoy caring for more domesticated animals of all sizes. I have a very friendly Border Collie who I am training to eventually compete in agility competitions, as well as other canine sports and activities. I am looking forward to making connections with other pet parents here in the Fairbanks area, and hope that you will let me care for your pet! References can be made available upon request! I have experience caring for the following: Dogs (including several dog sled teams of 15+ dogs) Cats Horses Goats Chickens Ducks/geese Rabbits Guinea pigs/rats/mice/etc Fish Birds Chinchillas Reptiles/Amphibians August through April is my 'off season' from my remote fieldwork, meaning I have ample time to dedicate to house/pet sitting when back in town. I have many friends and coworkers that ask me to house/dog sit and my '22-'23 calendar is filling up fast. Reach out to me if you would like to get on my schedule! Whether in my cabin, or at your home, an animals safety is my #1 priority. I am very flexible with an individual pets needs/requirements and can adapt very easily to adjust to what is necessary - whether that's leashed walks, supervised playtime with other dogs, or kenneled naps.
