Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!

Emmi was so great! Our dog warmed up to her right away and Emmi took excellent care of her! We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Thanks again Emmi! I’m sure we’ll be booking again in the future.

About: Semi-retired licensed veterinary technician with 30 years of experience. Available for anything from basic walks, pet sitting, boarding in my home up to compassionate hospice care. I will happily and gladly work around pretty much any schedule. You just let me know what your requirements are and I can usually accommodate them. My home is ready to spoil any pet. I'm currently pet less at the moment. My last 4-legged baby was an English bulldog. He was a special needs kiddo, so I'm used having to give medications on a regular schedule.

About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun, just never having direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

Scott did a great job of caring for our pets and our home while we were away! He sent videos and photos daily, which was wonderful. Our dog loved the extra exercise while playing with his sweet dog and hitting trails that she wasn't familiar with so she was super happy! This was our first time using Scott and I would definitely ask him to housesit again!

About: I’m a dedicated cat mom who understands how much our feline friends rely on trust and routine. Since adopting my cat last year, I’ve learned firsthand how much patience, observation, and care it takes to get to know a cat’s unique personality and habits. This experience has truly expanded my life and deepened my appreciation for their independence, curiosity, and warm companionship. I have open availability during the week for drop ins, house sitting and walks. And make sure to update my calendar every 2 days. Please check back or message me if you have any questions. 😊 To me, caring for pets is more than feeding or cleaning. It’s about creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, understood, and valued. I strive to make every pet feel that in my presence, even when you’re not there.

Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!

About: Growing up with a dog, a daily dog walk has been a part of my routine as long as I can remember. Since moving to Alaska 7 years ago, I got my best adventure buddy, Bird (a golden retriever) who has helped me explore Alaska from Sitka to Fairbanks to Anchorage. I have experience watching senior dogs that require medication, as well as active sled dogs that needed lots of exercise in the winter. My dog Bird has gotten used to every dog she's met once given time to adjust, and would love some dog friends in town. I also have a lot of experience housesitting, especially during Alaska winters when driveways need shoveled. I currently work a flexible fellowship that allows me to work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. While I go to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my hours can be flexible to for pets that need more care. I am around during the weekends, usually I go for a hike so pets are welcome to join in the fun. Most my experience has revolved around going to clients home during pet sitting. I am open to taking dogs in my car to drive to hikes or parks around town.

Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️

About: Active dog owner, we like to get out to touch grass. She’s a sniffer and the world is her toy. Long walks in town or out on trails. Work a week on, a week off in healthcare. Like to take my dog out on long walks through town, in a new park, or out on a trails. Message me for more availability if your pet can manage late evening, overnight shifts (10-12 hrs). I have a 4 yr old rescue dog myself. We’ve been traveling in healthcare for over a year. She’s crate trained but hardly needed, she’s chill during my work days on a couch and she’s quiet.

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
