Pet Sitting Ester

“Did a great job with my boys, would love to have her again to pet sit!”

“Mallory was amazing as usual!! Our two cats love her and she always communicates extremely well. We absolutely trust her with our cats and our home. She goes above and beyond to check on the pets and she has helped us with house related issues if they pop up too! We really appreciate her help and will be rebooking her on our next trip. We recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and am always down to hike with a dog. I love animals of all kinds and have experience with dogs, puppies, cats, fish, and birds. I would be delighted to meet and care for your pets! I am currently completing an internship during normal weekday work hours, so I am available for walks and drop in visits in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and lunch hours if needed. While I cannot currently host pets in my own home, I have years of experience caring for animals in other peoples’ homes and would be careful to follow any specific instructions related to your pet’s care and routines.

About: I have lived with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and rodents my entire life, and currently have two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. I love hanging out with animals and look forward to meeting your pups and kitties! I have helped take care of various pets for friends and others, including but not limited to, a pair of elderly dachshunds that had various medical needs, a lovely cat who loves to hand out, and I took home the class ferret nearly every weekend during my senior year. I am very familiar with administering medicine orally to both cats and dogs, and I have provided shots in the past. I personally had to care for my own dog that needed major surgery, and am familiar with animal's warnings and limits. I currently work part-time on an every other week schedule, but can take care of animals between shifts as needed. My husband and I split the care for our pets and make sure all of them get the proper playtime and food they individually need. I follow all instructions provided by the owner and always meet new animals before the owner leaves so that they are familiar with me. I provide food, play with the pets for a bit, and any other requests while in the home.

“Sofia is great!!”

“Jodi did an exceptional job petsitting for us while we were away for 5 days. She took on a somewhat challenging schedule with three very different pets with different needs. She was timely, reliable, caring, engaging and communicated well throughout the process.”

About: A decade plus of canine and feline care experience. I have ample exposure to large dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs with special care requirements. My working history includes multiple years volunteering at an animal shelter, multiple years at the Denali National Park Sled Dog Kennel, and a year at an Iditarod Kennel here in Fairbanks. This past winter, I both won the T-Dog 200 Sled Dog Race and more importantly was awarded the Vets Choice Award for exemplary dog care and health. I take pride in making sure every pet I work with gets to have a safe, fun, and fulfilling stay! I work full time at a nature preserve here in Fairbanks so I am at work from 9-5, M-F. However I am free outside of these hours. I believe in taking care of every pet as an individual. There’s no one way to do it. I’d like to know your pet and be as accommodating to their needs as possible!

“Thank you so much Selina!”

About: With extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to each animal's unique needs. What sets me apart: Puppy Care: I have the patience and consistency required to help reinforce potty training, crate routines, and basic obedience for young, high-energy pups. Senior Care: I am deeply compassionate and detail-oriented, making me highly capable of managing strict feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing the gentle, slow-paced care older pets need. Dependability: I am punctual, highly communicative, and strictly follow all care instructions provided by owners to ensure a seamless transition for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my week. I prioritize the pets I watch by adapting my daily schedule to match their established home routines. Whether you need regular weekday drop-ins, weekend care, or extended visits, I dedicate ample time each day to ensuring feeding stations are clean, medications are administered on time, and your cats get plenty of attention and playtime. If your pet stays in my home, they will be entering a thoroughly pet-proofed, secure, and clean environment. I am highly safety-conscious, meaning all potentially hazardous materials are securely stored, and exterior doors and windows are strictly monitored to prevent any escapes. I provide plenty of safe, quiet spaces for pets to retreat and relax if they feel overwhelmed. I closely supervise all activities and make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging toys in a totally hazard-free zone.

About: We have both had pets our entire lives, until recently. Have experience in medication and senior care needs. We have had both cats and dogs in the home. Most of our animals were rescue critters, with various backgrounds. We have not only taken care of our own pets but watched friends critters when they traveled. Currently one of us is retired and will be able to be with your pet all day, except on occasion when we go out or errands. Both of us are home in the evenings and weekends and are also willing to take your pet with for rides or errands, if allowed. We enjoy daily walks. We do not have a fenced yard but a nice area for walking behind the house. Your pet will always be supervised. We can crate your dog, if needed or requested, but otherwise they will have the run of the house.

About: I am very open and flexible schedule-wise, I don't mind getting up early if needed. I have experience with my own shitzu-poodle (Mocha), and my black cat (Gravy), as well as my neighbors various cats and dogs. I am a college student, so my only responsibility is to attend my classes. I have a lot of large gaps between/before classes where I can go let pets out for potty breaks, take them on a walk, give them food, etc,. I am very flexible. I have time to do multiple visits a day. I'm able to visit before classes, in between classes, and after. Any excuse to get out of my dorm is a good one 😅 I am more than willing to prepare food for pets, administer medications, or just spend some time with the pets if desired. Overall, I want to maintain a respectful and trusting relationship with clients.

About: I currently own 25 Alaskan Huskies and 1 German Shepard. I run a sled dog tour business with my pups in the winter! Our sled dogs are all extremely friendly and trained to be off leash and indoors on a rotation. I've been working with dogs and training animals since I was 15! I can help train your dog or just doggysit! We pride ourselves in dog care and want your friend to be happy and comfortable here with us. We have lots of options available at our house. We can house a sled dog outside in our dog yard or chain link enclosures (ask about discounted prices for sled dogs) or we can watch your pet dog in our home with a few of our pet dogs! All of our dogs are up to date on Rabies, Parvo and Bordetella vaccinations. I currently have 1 german shepherd and one husky that live inside full time all the rest of our dogs can be outside if needed during your pets stay. Our dogs are not allowed on our furniture but they sleep in our bedroom on their beds. They are always with us while we're working outside either loose or in one of our enclosed pens.

“We did drop-in services and Rhonda was amazing! I have a very high energy, needy dog and I am a very anxious dog owner, Rhonda was so communicative and always sent updates. We were so happy with her and would highly recommend.”

About: Please read through my whole profile and make sure I am the correct fit for your pet! 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 great with our girls. Excellent communication and very reliable.”

About: Hi! My name is Kristen. I work as vet tech and have been working with animals my entire life. I have a love and passion for dogs and other animals and would love to care for them while you are gone! They are welcome to stay right in our home and become part of the family! I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at my local humane society and fostering and rehabilitating dogs for many years. I have years of experience caring for and training sled dogs. I have been training my own dogs for a variety of sports such as Obedience, Rally, and Agility, Dock diving, and Barn Hunt for over ten years as well. I have worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for several years where I was constantly working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments (I love them all)! I also have experience pet sitting dogs in my home for many years. I have been working as a vet tech for the past 8 years. I have a flexible work schedule with a 3 hour lunch break and only about 5 minutes away from home. Your dog is never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We live just outside of town in a secluded and private area of Goldstream. We have a large fenced in yard for your dog to play in. We also have direct access to the Goldstream trails right from our property (which I hike very frequently with the dogs) We have a small team of sled dogs that are also part of our family. They are fenced off in a separate yard, but all are very friendly. If you have a dog that loves to play, we basically have our own dog park right here with lots of friendly dogs! I have several dogs that absolutely love to play with other dogs and would love to meet your dog. Please contact me if interested! I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I am very active with my own dogs and your dog is welcome to join right in! We play tons of fetch, go swimming and hiking, as well as dog sledding and skijoring in the winter. References available upon request. I work several days per week as a vet tech, but have a 3 hour lunch break in the middle of the day. Your dog is never left alone for more than about 4 hours. I have big fenced in yards with two very friendly house dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into my home and treated just like my own dogs.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and I'm that person that will go out of my way to make sure an animal is happy and content. Family, friends and neighbors fully entrust me with the care and transport of their pets and can rest their minds because they know their pet is in good hands. I send texts, pics and any other updates of how their beloved furry family member is doing while they're away. One time I was watching my friend's senior cat while she was away. We lived in very rural Alaska at the time where the nearest vet was a 3 hour drive. He was fine for the first couple of days, then out of nowhere he became very lethargic. Low energy and wasn't eating. I noticed a rather large, soft lump on his head between his ears which I thought to be an abscess. I reached into my background as a medical assistant and decided to drain the fluid. Once I did, he jumped back to his old self... purrring, playing, eating. Yes, I know taking him to the vet is the best option, but sometimes you do what needs to be done. While I love both cats and dogs and am willing to care for both, the dog would have to be the right fit. Meaning, due to my injury, I'm not able to go on runs like I used to or long walks. I am currently recovering from an on the job injury, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available most any time aside from my physical therapy appointments once a week. Don't let my injury deter you. I am strong, mobile and more than capable of most activities minus running or long walks. I prefer taking care of pets in the comfort of their home. I am both dependable and reliable as a house/pet sitter or drop in.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dog ever since I was 8 years old and we had her for over 12 years. I love taking care of animals and spending time with them. I am currently in Fairbanks and I work around 4 days a week and just do some work on my computer when I am not working! Willing to do overnight stays as well. I offer a clean and welcoming home for pets and I would make sure to take care of the pets the same way I would with our own.

“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!!”

“Katelyn was AMAZING with my dog when I needed a couple last minute drop in visits. My dog loved her and she was great at updating me.”
