“Mallory is awesome!! She is super friendly, trustworthy & always responded very quickly. She provided lots of pictures and updates and I can tell my pup was very happy and well taken care of. Knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away really means the world & we will definitely be rebooking (:”

“Emma did drop in visits with my very timid rabbit and was awesome with her. She was very reliable, thoughtful and patient, ensuring my rabbit was healthy and well cared for, reporting on each visit and sending photos. I will definitely request Emma again and highly recommend her.”

“2nd time having Kalista watch my babies! She does a great job, sends you lots of pictures (super reassuring), and like always great communication. My doggo loves her! 💕”

“Rian has been taking care of Forest since I got him at 8 weeks up until now where he’s 6 months. She’s taught him so many tricks and how to be the goodest boi and always went above and beyond. I’m leaving town so it’s a little bittersweet but I would recomment Rian to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!!”

“If you have a pet you love, Krista is the bomb!! She came in and loves my Kala like she’s her own!! She sends me so many pics of my happy girl and I’m so glad I took a shot with her!!”

“Mia has been superior for us. Not only did she take an hour to meet and greet with us, she leaves great notes, is prompt, helped us in a pinch on late notice, and puts up with our two puppies antics. Would recommend Mia for any dog sitting. She impressed us with her knowledge of dogs and puppies.”

“Joanne responded to a very last minute request and helped make sure our pup was well taken care of while we were out for the day. We really appreciate the good communication, fast response, & knowing our fury gal was in good hands!”
About: Having grown up with pets my entire life, I have truly experienced "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of pet ownership! I understand firsthand the love, chaotic moments, and the care it takes to keep animals happy and healthy. Currently, I have my own two dogs and a Holland Lop rabbit, all of whom I completely groom myself—so I am no stranger to managing shedding coats, nail trims, and animal maintenance! Beyond my personal experience, I recently relocated from Virginia to Fairbanks after earning my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Radford University. This medical background means I have advanced training in anatomy, physical handling, positioning, and safety, which sets me apart in a few major ways: * Senior & Special Needs Care: I understand mobility limitations, joint protection, and fragile handling. If your senior pet needs help getting up, navigating stairs, or requires complex medication schedules, I can manage it with professional clinical precision. * Calm & Attentive Observation: I am trained to notice subtle changes in physical behavior, breathing patterns, or discomfort, ensuring your pet is under watchful eyes. * Patience and Behavior Management: My professional training also involves pediatric development and positive reinforcement, which translates to keeping young, energetic pets or anxious animals feeling safe, structured, and calm. I treat every animal in my care with the same high level of respect, safety, and love that I give my own fur babies. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! My schedule is very structured and accommodating for pet care! I am currently balancing onboarding physical therapy career alongside dedicated study blocks for my upcoming board exams. Because my primary focus right now is professional preparation, my weekly routine is as follows: Weekdays (Monday–Friday): I have a mid-day commitment for my clinical orientation and training blocks. I am always home first thing in the morning to handle breakfast, early walks, and morning potty breaks. I return in the early afternoon, meaning pets are only left alone for a 4-to-5 hour window. Afternoons & Evenings: Once I am back for the day, I am at home or at the client's house studying. Here I can also provide constant, quiet company and frequent potty breaks every couple of hours all afternoon, evening, and night. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): My schedule is completely open! I am available for full-time companionship, custom routines, and frequent outdoor time. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because it gives me a wonderful, welcome break from my study materials to stretch my legs, play, and go on walks! When providing House Sitting care in your home, I follow this safety protocol: Meet & Greet First: I'd like an initial Meet & Greet before any booking is locked in. This ensures your pet is entirely comfortable with me, and gives us a chance to walk through their exact feeding, potty, and other routines. Home Respect: I treat your home with the utmost care. I maintain your exact house rules (such as keeping pets off specific furniture, ensuring doors/gates are securely locked, and keeping a clean space), so you return to a house that is just as spotless as you left it. Proactive Safety & Leash Security: When out on walks in the neighborhood, pets will always remain securely leashed. I do not do unapproved dog park visits or random dog-on-dog greeting interactions with strangers, protecting your pet from unpredictable situations. Medication & Routine Management: Thanks to my professional medical background, I am exceptionally detail-oriented with complex instructions. Whether your pet requires precise oral medications, supplements, or specific handling due to structural joint protection and senior mobility issues, it will be administered exactly on time, every time. Communication: You will never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. I provide consistent, daily photo and text updates so you can enjoy your travel with complete peace of mind.
“Veronica was extremely easy and flexible to work with! She was able to accommodate last minute changes and a last minute booking when my original plans fell through. I knew my dogs were well taken care of!”

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.
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. I am well versed in special needs animals as well as medication administration. I love all animals, but have a particular soft spot for senior dogs. I truly believe that animals are family members and should be treated as such. I would love to hang out with your babies! As of now, I have open availability as I recently relocated back to Vegas. I am open to do just about anything and everything you need for your pet and for your own peace of mind. My animals are fed twice a day and exercised based on their needs. I am extremely active myself so high energy pets are not an issue for me. I love to be outside and always looking to have a buddy to hang out with me!
About: I have taken care of my family and friends fur babies for two years both in my home and at their home. They entrusted me to feed and walk them while they were away. Additionally, there are discounts provided for two or more pets to be cared for and loved during your time away. Dog bathing is provided for an additional fee, if interested, in the comfort of your home so your pets are refreshed before you arrive home to them. My time at home has allowed me to love and care for my own animals, but to also provide a loving and nurturing environment for yours as well while in my care. Safety is number one in our home! Additionally, I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own to easily make your fur baby feel welcomed, loved, and cared during their time with us. Please understand that I do not stay in the home of others due to that I have animals of my own that need their mama home to take care of them and assist with their needs, but I am still available for house visits upon requests.
