About: Hi, my name is Nadia! 👋🐾 I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who travels for work, and I will be spending the upcoming months in the Girdwood/Anchorage, AK area. I am looking to offer dog walking and drop-in pet care services for local pet owners. A little about me: I grew up on a 70-acre farm in north-central Florida, where I cared for a wide range of animals—from horses and cattle to dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice. I have hands-on experience with: • Basic wound care & bandaging • Medication administration • Puppy care & whelping assistance • Large-animal handling & general farm animal care At age 14, I began volunteering at animal rescues, starting with Two Tails Ranch in Williston, FL. More recently, I volunteered and worked part-time with the Valdez Animal Shelter in Alaska. I am 28 years old, responsible, safety-minded, and I have solid references from previous pet owners I’ve worked with. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to care for each animal like they’re my own. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and support local pet parents while I’m here! I do require a crate for stays. This is a non-negotiable. If you request to book please get back to me as soon as possible once I accept the booking. Delays in confirmation will lead to me respectfully declining the request through rovers flagging system. If there are two dogs they need to be booked as two. I will not accept bookings for a single dog and have a second sprung on me last minute. Thank you for your time — I hope to hear from you and your pet soon! 🐶🐱🐾 Hi, my name is Nadia! 👋🐾 I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who travels for work, and I will be spending the upcoming months in the Girdwood/Anchorage, AK area. I am looking to offer dog walking and drop-in pet care services for local pet owners. Whatever accommodations you need for your pet/pets, I am willing to make happen. Your needs are my needs. I understand what its like to have pets so whatever I can do to assure you your pet is safe, healthy, and comfortable I am willing and able to make that happen.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young—dogs/puppies and cats. Very patient with younger animals or with more energy that require more attention and/or more technical care. I have a flexible schedule that allows the ability to stop in throughout the day. Available most weekends, early evenings and flexible throughout the day. With extensive experience with petsitting I’m very skilled in sensing the time needed and patience to build trust and a comfortable space and presence for one’s pets.

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.

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.

“Izabelle took great care of my cats, and also did a couple of things around the house that made coming home more pleasant. She let the cats, who can be a bit nervous around new people, take their time getting to know her and made clear progress with them every day. By all measures, they seemed to have a great week!”

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.

She can easily read what your animals need, so know that your fur baby will be safe and content with Sharika :)

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.
