House Sitting in Fairbanks

“Ashley was super helpful and did a little meet and greet before watching our two lab mixes with overnight care for the holiday weekend! They were in great hands, even with our one very shy dog. She followed their instructions super closely! She also sent updates right away and was responsive to any questions we had about how things were going. Will absolutely be using again!”

About: I have been working with dogs and cats in rescue and rehabilitation settings for over 16 years, across the gamut of shelter volunteering, high need fostering, and medical / rehabilitation support. I take caring for and walking dogs and cats extremely seriously, as all animals have different needs and boundaries that keeps everyone safe to be respected. 12 years ago I adopted one of my highest need medical foster dogs to help her thrive better outside the rescue system, I spent the last decade plus caring for her medically and giving her the happiest life she could have, but sadly brain cancer took her earlier this year. I am looking to get involved again with animals that may need help, from as big to in house support to as little as a walk so they can relieve themselves while their parents are at work. I currently work flexibly from home, so have the ability to help your pets during what are typical in-office hours for most! I also have some availability for in house overnight sitting I have over a decade of experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments. I understand through my rescue work how to properly engage with anxious or high energy animals so as to ensure the best safety for all parties. I also listen and follow pet parent directions to the letter when provided detailed routines or steps. I have extensive experience with elderly and special needs dogs, and can administer oral and topical medications when instructed by the pet parent how the individual pet best receives them.

“She is fantastic! She took great care of my 5 kitties that get wet food twice a day (they are spoiled) she kept us update with great photos! The kitties were totally relaxed when we got home ! She is awesome! Hope to use her again”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life, I can walk at a pace to exercise high energy dogs or just go on a stroll for a senior dog that just needs to move. I’m currently only a student online so I will have plenty of time to go on long walks and be able to stop by multiple times a day. I can crate your dog with ease or lock it up however you might need. I love playing fetch or tug to get energy out of the dog.

About: I have experience in boarding, grooming, training and running doggy day care. I have also boarded cats and reptiles. People have relied on me to board and/or walk their dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 7 years old. I believe in reliable, affordable, and loving pet care and strive to make your pet feel comfortable and safe. Let my home be their second home! I will have plenty of time to love on, walk, and play with your pets! I am currently available most days. This includes most holidays too. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company and happy! The dogs have their own room in the house that also includes kennels if your dog is trained, if not, that is ok, we have dog beds too! I also have all sorts of toys to play with and lots of beds for your pet to lay on. Dogs and cats are also allowed in the house and on the furniture/couches.

“Sally was awesome! She was available on short notice, stayed with my two dogs overnight (both of these dogs have some reactive / aggressive problems) and she was great with them!! 10/10 would call her again”

“I’m really happy I was able to find Nicole! She was very quick to respond when my husband and I had to put in a last minute request, was very professional and scheduled a meet and greet that same day. She gave us updates on how they were doing and gave us peace of mind that our boys were taken care of. Even our neighbors noticed how attentive she was. 10/10 will hire again.”

“Ronja did a great job watching my two high energy labs. They’re not the best on leash, but she still managed to wrangle them. She was great about sending updates while I was out of town, and you could tell she really cares about animals.”

“Katie is fantastic! We booked her for an extended trip and it was the first time we’d left our pups since moving to Alaska. We were really nervous, especially since we’d very recently just lost one of our pups. Katie took excellent care of Mako and Mongo and our home. She gave them lots of love and cuddles and put us at ease with her good communication. Highly recommend.”

Jessica M.

“Selina took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of the country for nearly 2 weeks. All care instructions were followed, and the dogs appeared very happy and comfortable around her. Medical issues were handled extremely well too. Thanks again, Selina!”

About: I was raised on a homestead and absolutely adore animals. I am very professional and I promise your pets will love me. I love to run around and play with dogs outside, or chill inside and play with cats. I am looking for weekend jobs and evening jobs. I am working at an elementary school so I am unavailable from 8-4:15 until the end of May. I am very energetic and will tired out your hyper fur babies. I would love to take them on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch, or even brush them and give them all the love they want.

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I know the struggles and rewards watching and caring for pets come with I have pets on a small scale for friends and families since I was a child. I love playing with cats and making sure they get all their hunting instincts out with cat toys.. I love to be outside with dogs, making sure they get enough exercise and stimulation throughout the. I also understand how to deal with dogs with behaviors or animals that take medications and how stressful that can be. I’m currently a college student so I have very flexible hours and i will work with you to create the perfect routine. I have plenty of time to play and drop in throughout the day. I can ensure that your pet is properly taken care of while you’re away. I will make sure your pets are happy and get as much playtime as they need. I have two cats at home that I feed three times a day. Stimulation is really important for both cats and dogs so I make sure to play with them throughout the day. I wanna make sure they sleep throughout the night so playtime is very important. The clean environment is a mess so I make sure to clean up after my pets whether it’s the bowls they’re eating from or any accidents that are made.

“Moriah is great. Looked after Winston with kindness and lots of love.”

“Miranda is INCREDIBLE. I almost want to leave a bad review so I can keep her to myself and no one will know how amazing she is. The communication was great - pictures with an update every morning and evening about not only our pets but the general state of the home. We will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend her enough!”

Amelia H.

Our home was well taken care of and I would recommend Andrea to care for your precious family pets, I have never been happier. I will use her again. 💜”

“Grace was amazing! Our boys need lots of exercise and play and she met that demand with flying colors. She left the house clean and followed all instructions for meds. She is very kind and my Border Collie even likes her. We will definitely use Grace again to take care of our precious boys.”

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover from the very beginning. I’ve taken care of many different animals of all shapes and sizes since I was very young. To include cats, reptiles, birds, small mammals and many different breeds of dogs. I currently have two German Shepherd’s that I trained and raised since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, and family think of me first when looking for someone to help out with their pets. I have previous veterinary experience along with experience for animals with disabilities. I can feed, walk, play with, and watch over any and all animals. I am able to administer oral medication and under the skin injections for dogs and cats. I am very familiar with senior pets and have knowledge in animal first aid. I also have experience with dogs who have disabilities. I have taken care of animals who are deaf and dogs that have vision impairments or are completely blind. I am currently on break from school but in the process of receiving my animal science bachelor degree with plans on continuing into the vet field. So I have lots of free time to care for, play with, and love your pets of all kinds! :) I currently am enrolled in college full time but am on break until the Fall semester. So my availability is very open at the moment. I am able to meet at your residence so your pet is more comfortable but also have availability in my own home as well. I have a backyard which allows dogs to have quick bathroom access. I also have access to many gated parks for a bigger space and more play time. I give constant updates so you’re always aware of what’s going on and send pictures if you’re away and missing your pet.

About: Experienced with pets of all ages and species from reptiles and rodents to cats and dogs. Growing up around diverse animals built my confidence, patience, and ability to handle different temperaments. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I wake up at 7am and study for classes from home and I work from 2-6pm every Wednesday-Saturday but I am able to check in on pets anytime before and after that time! I’m very flexible and can move around certain time scales! I care for my own cats at my house. I change their litter boxes everyday and feed them at 9am and at 5pm whenever I eat breakfast and dinner, and they have a running water bowl that I clean weekly! I definitely would treat other pets as my own and care and love for them as my own.
