“Erica was so friendly and easy to work with. She helped me tailor the booking to our exact needs and helped make the process really east for me. My cat, Cricket, warmed up to her right away, and Erica made sure to get all the necessary information to take care of her while I was gone. My cat takes medicine and has a prescription diet and Erica made sure she got everything she needed, plus brushing and playtime. She even sent me regular updates with pictures. Having her watch my sweet senior kitty really set my mind at ease. Thank you Erica!”

“Lindsey dropped in for a couple of hours 2 days in a row for my rabbits and she did a fantastic job with them. She even got down on the floor and played with them. I would definitely book her again.”
“Our kitties love their visits with Alisa! We come home to happy, fed kitties! Thanks Alisa!”
About: I've taken care of pets my entire life. Rest assured your loved ones, your family members will be entertained, and loved while you are away. I currently work from home most days or go to the office for only 1-4 max. We make our own schedules so I can taylor your pets needs to fit into any work day. I treat my pets as part of the family they are one of us. Know that your pets will be taken care and in great hands. I currently work from home and can customize my schedule each week to fit the needs of any client as long as I know in advanced. Our pets go on walks daily. When loved ones are away it can be hard so we give extra cuddles. And treats for good behavior.

About: Hello, I’m Alyssa Kristiansen I reside in Anchorage, Alaska. I started dog walking and dog sitting when I was 12. I worked at doggy day care and got certified as canine first aid. Overall I love taking care of dogs and puppy’s when you are out at work or as well as vacation etc! I do this full time so I have a wide range of availability. I come in throughout the day to make sure your dog is well walked and hydrated When I take care of your dog, I make sure that they are safe by carrying bear spray on our walks. I always ask if they behave well around other dogs when I take them to the dog park or on the trails.
“Katie was awesome! We were able to get my baby booked last minute. I got updates and pictures almost everyday:) ❤️”
“Carissa is amazing! Our pups love her as do we! We can’t thank her enough for helping us out with our two pups! We will miss her when we move!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.

“This was the first time we used Meg or Rover. We have an older dog and he just likes being at home. Meg did a wonderful job with him and we will reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve dealt with them all! From caring to my own fury animals to developing trust with new dogs in new places! My favorite dog sitting experience included Rocky, the diabetic, blind paraplegic who required insulin shots, eye drops and extra restroom support! Im currently between jobs until the winter and looking to bring in extra income before moving out of State.. (my schedule is real flexible right now) I have a fenced backyard and live with a roommate and her VERY FRIENDLY pup, BERKLEY . Love to care for pets both indoors and while exploring beautiful Alaska
About: Hey, I’m Brandon—your Alaskan adventure buddy for pups of every size and temperament. Born in the lower 48, raised by a pack of high‑energy shepherd mixes, and now settled in Indian, AK, I spend most days scouting trails, chasing light for wildlife photos, and keeping my own Shepsky’s zoomies in check. If your dog has energy to burn—or nerves that need soothing—I’ve got the miles, patience, and know‑how to help them thrive while you’re away. Pet care is my workday. I freelance in photography, so I build my calendar around pets—not the other way around. I’m currently offering remote services only—drop‑ins, feeding, walks, and litter‑box care—no boarding or dog‑dog meet‑ups until my own Shepsky finishes training. That means your cat or pup gets undivided attention on a reliable timetable: morning potty breaks, mid‑day enrichment, and evening check‑ins exactly when you request, all confirmed in writing with GPS or photo proof each visit. Raised a German Shepherd from 15 weeks and trained as an EMT, I stay calm in chaotic moments and spot issues early. Because I’m doing in‑home visits only, your pet never shares space with other animals—eliminating cross‑contamination and social‑stress risks. I carry a first‑aid kit, follow strict sanitizing for bowls and litter tools, and log meds, meals, and behavior changes in real time. Whether it’s administering pills on schedule or scooping a finicky litter robot, you’ll know your home and fur‑family are treated with hospital‑grade care and neighborly respect.
“Anni was excellent with our elderly dog. She was so calm and happy after Anni watched her. Highly recommend Anni for her kindness and dog knowledge/skills.”
About: I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. My experience in keeping dogs active and entertained guarantees a fun and fulfilling stay for your furry friend! I’m currently working part time so have a very flexible schedule to give lots of love and attention to your dogs! I’m free most times during the week, and can be available on the weekend! I have house sat before and know how to be respectful of someone’s home while providing excellent care for your dogs! Keeping them in their home environment and making them as happy as possible!
“Gail did an awesome job staying with my kitties while we were gone for a week. One of my cats is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin shots and Gail handled it with ease. The house was well cared for when we returned and the kitties were happy and healthy!”

She has cared for my animals on several occasions. I have chickens & two cats. One of cats is antisocial but she loves Anela. I would highly recommend Anela!
