“Joanne took my dog on walks for a week and was great with her! She was detailed in reporting what had happened on the walk. She even brought toys to help my pup get even more energy out! Thanks, Joanne!”
“ZuZu had the best time playing with and exploring the neighborhood with Emma! I am able to completely focus on work knowing that ZuZu was being looked after by someone who is caring and not afraid of the boxer "super-zoomies".”
“Was available last minute, even offered to go above and beyond just to make sure my animals were happy for the long day I had at work. Kalista sent me tons of pictures which for me is a must! My animals were instantly comfortable with her, which for Jasper it says a lot. I am very satisfied on her communication and her willingness to help with the animals. Speaks volumes of a sitter!!”
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.
“I highly recommend Rian as pet sitter/walker! She responds right away, checks in frequently, is really friendly, and took great care of my pup! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of animals, including farm, exotics, and cats/dogs. I have also worked in vet med in the past. Currently, I am a stay at home wife with no children so there is plenty of time, love, energy, and patience for your beloved pet. I have a fenced in yard on base. We do have two cats but they have been around other cats and a dog. They’re friendly
“Rhonda saves the day once again! I have times I get called in to work and I’m away for several hrs. Levi loves to have Rhonda walk him or just drop-in when the weathers yucky. Thank you Ms Rhonda! 💕”
About: Hello! Dog and cat sitter, full-time engineering student at UAF. Long-time experience with farm animals as well- horses, chickens, and other livestock welcome! Available in Fairbanks until (roughly) December 12th. I'm a full time student at UAF, so my schedule is best for pets who can be alone intermittently during the day. I primarily do multiple visits per day; I CANNOT stay the night, as I'm an RA for a UAF dorm. Visits to your pet look like this: early morning visit, late afternoon visit, and one last bathroom break before bed. This can be as flexible as you need. Walking will ALWAYS occur with a leash, and for your dog's safety I never go to dog parks. In general, we'll avoid other people and their pets.
About: I’ve been a dog owner in the past for many years and enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch or just showing them lots of love! I currently have a dog and 2 cats of my own that my parents watch for me while I’m doing a sitting job. I do have some experience with training and teaching commands if needed. I am not able to have your dog at my apartment but am willing to come to you to help any way I can! I am using this service out to make some extra cash but also to appease my animal loving heart as well! :) Your pet(s) will be in good hands with me! I work “bankers hours” so I am free on nights and some weekends depending on my schedule and previous commitments but generally plenty of free time. I am always concerned for my own pets health and happiness and do any and everything I can do to make sure they’re living their best life. I will mostly be free for nights and weekends. I don’t usually plan much, especially in the winter, so I have plenty of free time! My cats have plenty of toys and 2 towers to climb on. They are always fed and watered and are always good for a cuddle.
“Thank you Heidi for taking care of my boy! She was great, she walked my dog for a week while I was working long hours so he could go potty and stretch his legs. She was very quick to respond to messages and sent pictures of their walks. I will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“Krista is absolutely wonderful with Kala!! She makes sure and takes time with her and loves on her. I couldn’t ask for a better walker!! Def give Krista a call if you want someone to love yours the way they love theirs!!”
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!
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!
“Highly recommend - responsive, conscientious and reliable, great with the dogs & cats too. Booked for dog walking but Angie was keeping an eye out to make sure my mom didn't have any problems while I was away, it was very comforting knowing she was there. Will definitely book again. Thank you Angie 😎🙏🏻”
About: I have 2 years of dog sitting for my neighbor when I was in high school. I watched my friends’ cat periodically while they were on vacation. I took care of my friends’ three big dogs it was challenging but a blast! I love brushing, playing, and most of all running! I would play with my aunt’s dog tank, outside for hours at a time. He was a very high energy dog which I love. I am currently in the army stationed at fort wainwright AK. I’m available everyday besides scheduled field problems. Sometimes duty calls and I have to come later or even earlier but I’ll you know in advance. I feed my kitties twice a day and give them fresh, filtered water every day. Most importantly, I give them the attention they crave every single day. We try to buy new toys for our little fur kiddos every month. Our apartment is open for them to run and play with each other. Hazardous chemicals such as windex, and Clorox etc. are put away where the fur balls cannot access them. I brush them both once a week and the most stinky part, the litter gets scooped once a day every day!! As for dogs, I love taking care of them, many of my family members have dogs that I love to play with and wear out. If I had a dog of my own I would be playing outside with them for hours a day but making sure they are happy and healthy by paying attention to their needs and emotions.
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.

Ashley did so good with my Beau! He loved her from day one and I’m just so grateful for her availability and communication. Ashley let me know when Beau wasn’t his normal self/ wasn’t feeling too well. If you’re one that’s looking for someone who is punctual as well Ashley is your girl.
