“Ryann acted responsibly while caring for my dogs as I asked her to. I came home to two happy healthy dogs and that was more than I got from a local boarding place. I would recommend using Ryann as a sitter, and will most likely use her services in the future.”


About: Have one dog of my own for over 3 years and foster another dog for a little over a month. I’ve had dogs growing up. I am active duty military. I have time throughout the day to take dogs out or feed them when needed. Free Friday through Sunday as well About an acre of land for dogs to roam around on, unfenced. Can be crated when needed or if they are good without it and won’t destroy furniture, that works too. Can take them on walks or hikes.

“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.”


“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!”


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 have a cat, two Mackenzie River huskies and two hermit crabs. Having grown up around pets all my life, I know how to take good care of them and keep them happy. I have also taken care of cats, dogs, chickens and gardens for neighbors and friends. As a college student, I take care of my pets and other people's pets during my summer and winter breaks when I am home in Fairbanks. I will ensure that your pets are happy and safe when I take care of them. I will make sure that their needs are met and all instructions you provide are followed. You can be confident that your pets are in good hands.

“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.”

“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!

About: Hello, my name is Taylor M! I am a young professional in the local Fairbanks area. After having to say good by to my senior companion of 4 years(a loving basset named April) I spent a few years unable to take in a companion of my own. Instead I began to help care for the companions in my area as their parents needed! ☺️ I now have two pets of my own- two tortishell cats named Fawkes and Cheddar. Theh tolerates dogs in the home but prefers to have our cabin to themselves. Due to this I limit dog care in my own home, but am able to house and dog sit elsewhere. Located on the East side, but could pop in anywhere in the Fairbanks area. I enjoy running and staying active, would love to take your pup for a run! Reasons I love animals: - Unconditional love! - No talking (perfect for an introvert such as myself!) - The happy look dogs get on their face as they're running! - The feeling of acceptance one gets when a cat makes an active choice to sit in their lap. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries! I do shift work that keeps me busy in the evening, but frees up my week days typically. As I do have a cat of my own now, I tend to pick shorter sitting jobs. If I am ever unable to accept a job I do have other sitters I can recommend. First impressions are everything, right? To ensure your pet trusts and feel comfortable with me and in your home I always coordinate a first meeting in the home with the owner. I ask to be walked through any concerns and what the day-to-day life of the pet looks like. I find that the less a routine for a pet is disrupted the less likely something unplanned could happen.

“Mariah and her daughter were great! They came over a few times to meet my reactive Aussie mix. They were calm and upbeat in the face of my barking ball of anxiety, and worked to slowly win her over. They were also flexible with timing, which I really appreciated.”

About: I currently am a cat owner as I recently lost my Cane Corso to cancer. I have taken care of all kinds of pets, including sled dog teams in my home state of Alaska.
