“She came to our rescue this holiday season to make sure our cat is well while we’re away for Christmas. Wonderful experience, very quick responses and kind! Thank you Rian!”
“The best sitter I’ve had, my animals LOVE her and she does more than just take the minimum care of them, she bonds with and spends time on them. Her communication is top tier and personable. Would recommend to anyone”
“Joanne has been caring for cats and we couldn’t be happier. She is prompt and professional. With Joanne we have no worries that our boys are being cared for. We highly recommend Joanne.”
“Very sweet person, cats did very well under her as she took care of them allowing us to go on vacation. Took pictures and sent them to me daily. 100% would hire again”
“Zoe took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town camping. The photos were adorable and they gave detailed reports of her visits. I can tell they have a great care for animals and they put a lot of effort into letting my cats adjust to a strange human - they even got my super shy baby to come out and hang out the whole time on the last day! Would definitely book again and recommend!”
About: I have been off and on pet sitting for a long time. I primarily watch dogs but I have also watched ducks, goats, hamsters, cats and more! I love being outdoors and I will make sure the doggos get all the exercise they need. I have my own dog who comes with me. She does best with younger dogs with a preliminary meeting in a neutral location but I also take my gate and crate with me so dogs can have a break from one another. I am currently a graduate student. I have one class each day this semester so I will be able to spend a lot of time looking after pets even during the week. I follow owner instructions of care and exercise. If your dog likes to run, we go running. If your dog is a couch potato, we go on short sniffaries. My dog hates taking medication so I am expert at making sure dogs get their pills even under resistance. Have been attacked by a duck daily for four weeks straight and still kept them all happy!
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.
“Hope is a very nice and responsible sitter. My dogs love her. One of my dog Vishaka is stranger unfriended. But she gradually accepted and love her. She begged her to pet the last few sitting days. Hope messaged me and sent pictures everyday during the sitting. Thanks to Hope, my family were able to enjoy the vacation and no worries of the dogs.”
“I knew right away that my cat would be well cared for with Emma. It gave me comfort knowing that he was safe and happy with her while I was on vacation. She was also accommodating when my flight was delayed and didn’t hesitate to offer to extend her services another day. She was amazing and I will definitely be requesting her again! Thanks Emma :)”
“Emma did everything we asked her to do with our energetic dog. She messaged us after every visit and took pictures to send to us. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very pleased. Hope to get Emma to set with our puppy again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 4. I moved up to Alaska and have missed them so much and my place doesn't allow animals sadly. I’d love to come over and take care of your pets and take them for walks. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved ones and get connected with the Fairbanks community! I work a 48 hours on 96 hours off schedule as a firefighter. On my days off I have full flexibility and availability as well as my own reliable car to get around. I’m extremely active so high energy animals aren’t a problem. Although I can’t host animals at my place I promise to be respectful of your home. I know our area well so I’m open to walking animals around anywhere! As long as I get detailed instruction for your home and pets I’ll abide by any special rules or instructions.

“Theresa did such a great job with Mowgli, she took him out for some exercise so he could get his energy out and sent me lots of pics! She took care that his feet and toys weren't left muddy after they played outside. Would definitely recommend her, and would love to have her watch Mowgli again in the future!!”

About: I have personally had all types of animals growing up. I’ve had cats, dogs, and lizards! I’ve pet sat for previous neighbors in the past as well as their children. Overall I love taking care of animals! I am currently in search for a job so as of now I have a schedule wide open for an animal! My fiancé is currently in common core so it allows me time to watch, walk, and play with the animal! I have a fenced in backyard as well as an open house with lots of carpet for those dogs that are scared of wood or tile flooring! Also lots of paths around for walks!
About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.
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!

Mary P.
“Mary has watched my cat and my five ducks on two occasions now, and both times I came home to happy and healthy animals! I appreciated her openness to work with me to care for my unconventional pets & do some light farm work, she was very communicative (sending me photos and videos of my ducks the first time I was away from them to help me feel less anxious) and checked in with me about duck care when temps got low one week this winter. The animals were all thriving upon my return and that's the only recommendation I need. I'm really glad I connected with her and will hopefully continue to work with her for future pet care. Thanks Mary!”
Jayme N.
“We can’t thank Jayme enough for taking such amazing care of our dog, Rey, while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which put our minds at ease while we were enjoying our trip. She went above and beyond by taking our dog on walks, playing with her, and providing the love and attention that she needed. Rey especially loved playing with Jayme’s pup too! When we returned, our dog seemed so happy and well-cared-for—it's clear that Jayme treated her like family. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future! If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to your pet's needs, Jayme is the one to trust!”
