“Mallory was a fantastic dog walker for my pup during a busy week when I couldn't give her all the attention she deserves. Mallory came by to meet Sakura ahead of time and discuss all the details with me. During the walks, she always provided text updates and adorable pictures. She even brought her kids along once and took them all to the playground!!! Thank you so much for your help taking care of my baby when I was busy, going above and beyond to give Sakura fun and fulfilling outings!”
About: I have taken care of and grew up with dogs, cats, and many other animals since I was 3 years old. I have volunteered at an animal shelter the past 4 years; walking dogs and taking care of the cats. I frequently watched family and friends cats and dogs, as well as raised multiple animals from kitten/puppy and have years of experience administering meds! I graduated UAF with a B.S in biology in May of 2026 and am awaiting the start of my masters program. I have a lot of availability (everyday) and would love to be of service for you and your pet!:) Free meet and greets!! I will leave detailed notes, pictures, and text messages after each service. At our meet and greet I will collect information to provide clean careful services for your animal. As I do my own cat; I will wash bowls daily, clean litter box daily, clean and portion food out daily. With your pup, daily walks/outside time. I will spend time with your fur baby and given them quality pets, brushes, and playtime.
About: I have lots of experience caring for animals, from household pets to barn animals. I have grown up pet sitting for friends and family members for some years before owning any pets of my own in my home town (2 dogs and 2 cats). As of now, I am attending university so I am fostering cats who are either kittens or who have medical problems so I can administer their medications. I have been certified in Animal care and cpr, this allows me to be prepared for any situation. As of now, I have an open schedule and am flexible with bookings. I care for all pets by adhering to feeding schedules, walking schedules and more. Right now, I have a foster cat who I feed and play with daily. When I take care of my clients pets in their personal home, I will tend to their food, walking schedules, and medication schedules if needed. If I'm taking care of my clients pets in my personal home, I will always make my house feel like a second home so the pet feels as comfortable as it can be. If I'm cat-sitting, I always make sure their litter boxes are clean. Safety is the most important factor to me, I will always check on any information my clients leave me and will constantly be checking in on the pets. Communication is also important, communication with my clients is important for maintaining safety and trust.

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.

About: My parents bred Golden Retrievers when I was a young child, and I have loved and had dogs since I was born. Barb, a 120lb Rottweiler/Mastiff, is our current companion after losing Richard, our 165lb St. Bernard. Now that my husband and I are empty-nesters, and now that I am retired (for the time being) I'm excited to take care of other dogs. I'm skilled at dog training and love dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and demeanors. Walking/hiking is one of my favorite past times. I'm excited for the opportunity to take care of your pooch!
