Pet Sitting Farm Loop

“Madelyn was absolutely wonderful! I got detailed updates daily while I was gone for two weeks, including a bunch of photos with the text updates. She communicated clearly how both were doing each day, and I could tell she was making every effort to comfort my shy cat. I always worry leaving them alone in the house, but had no reason to with Madelyn checking in on them daily. Absolutely recommend her, and will request her in the future 🙂”

About: I’m Melissa! I run Valley Dog Treks and am a full time dog walker. My goldendoodle Cedar comes along on all of my walks. For hikes I have a car hammock and ruffland kennels depending on the pups needs. I’m a full time dog walker based out the Palmer area! My business is called Valley Dog Treks! My goldendoodle pup Cedar and I would love to meet up with you to see if we are a good fit!! I do leashed walks, drop ins + hikes. I carry pet protector spray with me on walks in case of offleash dogs charging us to protect your dogs, (it makes a loud noise, but is just air) For hikes I will leash your pup up before leaving your house, and then they will ride in either my Ruffland kennels or the car hammock in my backseat. I always have a pet first aid kit in my car, in case of any pet emergency you will be notified and I will be enroute to the nearest vet or your preferred vet depending on the needs of the pet.

“Salem was solid. She was available on short notice, had great references, and I felt I could trust her with Noches care.”

About: I am an older person with experience with pets. I love them unconditionally. I would love to help you by loving your animal too! Amen My cat is my support animal and she stays by my side at all times. I cant even describe how much I truly love her. I am loyal and trustworthy. I would treat your home with the utmost respect. I am older so you don't have to worry about parties lol

“Katie is such a treasure! She took incredibly good care of my pups, sharing pics and observations of them the whole time I was away. Even went above and beyond and made an extra visit when my flight home was delayed. So glad she’s joined us here in the Wood River Valley!”

“Jamie was great. She came by before we left to learn where everything was and sent updates while we were gone with cute pictures. Will be using her next time I travel for sure!”

“Melissa is wonderful. We have had her come by to watch our cats a few times now and she always makes sure to send a few pics every visit. My cats love her (even our little scaredy cat). We will absolutely use her services again.”

About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.

About: I grew up in Alaska with a goldendoodle named Kinley and a tabby cat I rescued named Chance, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Now that I’m back home in Alaska after graduating college, I’ve continued fostering dogs and helping care for pets with different personalities and energy levels. Fostering has helped me become comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets adjusting to new environments. I’m active, reliable, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible. I’m usually able to accommodate requests with a little advance notice. Send me a message and let's chat! Through fostering dogs and caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether that means getting enough exercise, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra patience and attention while their owners are away.

About: hi everyone!! my name is Kristina, a transplant from Bellingham, WA and it is so lovely to meet you! I have been connecting and caring for animals since a young child. From starting a dog sitting business as an 11 yr old (short lived but to volunteering at local shelters and assisting in the vet clinic, I have had the privilege of learning from and caring for our furry friends for a lifetime. My partner and I will be relocating to Anchorage and looking to sit together. When I’m not in search of the next furry friend to meet, I am typically out on the land climbing, laying on the grass, or dancing in the rain. I work in Youth Development and dream of bridging my love of animals, with therapeutic methods someday! I will be located in the Anchorage area for the whole month of October! I will be relocating with my partner and looking to sit together. My weekly schedule is incredibly open for all pet needs. Mornings, and afternoons on weekdays typically work best as well as weekend house sitting needs! Looking forward to connecting with you more :) As a cat momma myself, I understand how difficult it can be entrusting others for the care of our precious animals. As much as I value the connection I build with your animals, I want to connect and build trust with you as well! I believe every pet deserves care and love that is met at their speed. I value creating a genuine connection with your animal and commit to always working to ‘tune in’ with them. I meet them right where they are with lots of patience, gentle encouragement, and love. My background as a vet assistant and shelter volunteer has given me a deep understanding of animal body language, stress signals, and medical needs. I feel confident in reading what a pet is telling me and make sure they feel totally secure. Because I want pets to feel as happy and relaxed as possible, I currently focus exclusively on house sitting!
