“Mallory did a great job caring for my two cats. She communicated promptly, responded to all requests and asked questions when she needed information. Would happily and readily request pet care from Mallory 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!”
“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 :)”
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!
“Rashell took the last minute booking without complaint, she was very attentive and took very good care of my cat.”
“Rhonda is incredibly thorough and efficient- She sends before/after photos and updates of our fur babies’ food and water. We feel comfortable having her in our home and taking care of them while we’re gone! Definitely recommend her!”
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.

About: I have taken care of various kinds of dogs, cats, and other small animals, even those with special needs and care. I love all types of animals and am happy to learn their routine to provide the best and most calming care possible. I work 8 hours a day during the weekdays, but am more than available to provide overnight and check in care for your pets. Weekends are completely free so I could spend the entire day with them if needed! I am always quick to clean up and messes that may come along with caring for your pet, and follow all instructions to provide the best care possible. I am willing to do other housekeeping if client is willing to compensate for that as well!

About: With over 7 years experience, rehabilitating, rehoming, medicating, sitting, grooming and providing enrichment, I’d be honored to sit your animals and show them unconditional care and love along the way! I currently work hand in paw, providing the best care to animals of all kinds. I’ve always loved working with animals which is why I’ve devoted my job and at home life to making a difference for each and every one. I have 2 dogs of my own (chihuahua and Lab) at home who don’t mind the company of new comers. Cleanliness and a safe environment is guaranteed for the best care of your animals.
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.

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!”
