“Erica really helped me out in a pinch by walking Kenai on short notice! I really appreciated her intentional positivity and skilled interaction with my dog. She worked really hard to ensure Kenai had positive interactions with other dogs. It’s obvious she knows what she’s doing and cares greatly.”
About: Love to walk and hike, have one lovable six year lab mix that is super friendly and still thinks he's young and would love to take your dog out. I am busy most of the day but am able to house sit and/or walk your dog rain/snow or shine alone or with my lab mix. I have a six year old lab mix that could stay home, or can walk with your dog on walks/hikes. My dog loves everyone and other dogs.
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.
“Lindsey was so great with my puppy. She took care of him twice a day for multiple days and was always right on time, never giving me a doubt about the care he was in. She also sent pictures and updates each time. Thanks so much!!”
“Ami was great! I was hesitant to give my “baby” to a stranger but she completely put me at ease and answered all of my questions. She is knowledgeable and much more than a dog walker, she is a great handler. Our girl is looking forward to her next walk with her.”
About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.
“Izzy was very sweet, prompt and communicative with pics and messages - one of my pups was a sad baby and wouldn’t come out of hiding to go walk (not Izzy’s fault at all!) but the other pup was thrilled to be out and about with her. Will book with her again!”
About: I've personally had and cared for both dogs and cats, but would also be willing and able to care for other small animals. I love spending time with the animals that I care for. I am currently in an online graduate school program and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to a variety of pet sitting opportunities and would love to hear from you! I am currently unable to take pets in my home, but am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and even housesitting. I pay close attention to given instructions to ensure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away.
About: I've been watching my own personal pets as well as other peoples since I was a young child. I trained my dog, a half lab/half Weimeraner to retrieve at a pretty high level. I had a three legged cat as well. I've been living with dogs my entire life and cats for the last eight years I work remotely and would prefer to house sit in a place where I can also do my work. Your pet would have someone around the majority of the time and I can take care of other business. According to the conditions and the pets stated needs. I love walking dogs and retrieving with them and it is always nice giving cats catnip if they like catnip.
About: I am a 41yo Born & Raised Florida Boy. Brought up on a farm with everything from chickens, cows, Horses, pigs, sheep to Chow chews, English Mastiffs & Pugs. I genuinely love all animals but Dogs in general steal my heart so fast. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies.

I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do not have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to he as a family.
“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”
About: I have been around animals all my life growing up in michigan on a beef farm. I am on time and will show up when I say I will. I have two frenchies. One is 4 and one is 7 months. I love being outside and dogs love me. I love them. My wife calls me a dog whisperer. I am currently retired and am looking forward to enjoying your pet. I am flexible. I love nature and people. I enjoy meeting new friends. I have two frenchies who love dogs and people. I am good with leash walking and love to play with dogs.

“This was our first walk with Carissa and all went well! She was on time, she did great with Lucy and locked up when she was done. Little report and picture at the end. We will be using Carissa again if available for our future needs! :)”
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.
About: Growing up we had 3 dogs, chickens, cats and goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Dogs are the best and help me get outside, I love to run and go on long hikes, and would love to be able to take care of your pup while you are away. I work during the week tue-Thur & have weekends free so I have time to give the pups walks morning and night and weekends are free for big adventures. As a house sitter I plan to care for peoples space & their animals. Making sure the dogs are fed, exercised and getting lots of affection

Nancy A.
“As a dog owner for most of her life Nancy knows the responsibilities that comes with caring for a fur child. She loves to go on long walks with dogs for exercise, she's great at giving them food, water, and medicine as needed daily, and she is good at training dogs as most of the dogs she's owned were rescued as puppies. Nancy is a responsible mature woman who will care for your home while you are away as if it were her own, you can trust her to follow your written care instructions, take care of your dog and communicate with you while you are away through text.”

Ellen E.
“Ellen loves dogs and that's reflected in how she takes care of others pets. She's always been great with my dog and he absolutely loves her. She'll give every dog or cat she takes care of all the love and attention they'd get from their own pet parents, in addition to ensuring they're taken care of and get everything they need. She's a great petsitter and I'd recommend her to anyone!”
William M.
“I have known William for 15 years, and he has been watching my pets intermittently for the last 8 years. He is always my first choice for pet sitting, because he is reliable, readily reachable by phone and has a lot of experience around many types of animals. He also has been a long time animal lover and treats his own pets like a part of his family. I have 3 cats and 7 chickens. Any time William is responsible for my pets when I am away, I can rest easy knowing that they are in good hands. You too can rest easy if William is watching your pets.”
Rinnah A.Star Sitter
“She did a great job communicating and doing mid day walks with my pup!”
Joshua S.
“Watching Joshua interact with my mother's elderly pug and my baby kitten was truly a joy to behold. His ability to connect with animals on a emotional and physical and psychological level is anything short of amazing. Joshua has a cheery and adoring disposition along with a passionate soul that dogs and cats and animals of all kind can really connect with. His experience in the medical field has been proven to showcase his abilities and capabilities when it comes to caring for animals and their needs. He is a devoted and caring owner when it comes to his own pug Deku, these two share a bond that is unmatched by any pairing of human and animal kind I have ever seen in my life. On many occasions I have witnessed Joshua put Deku's needs and other animals needs before his own. I have the utmost respect for Joshua and his loving and caring demeanor and passion for animals. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants someone to be focused on their furry companion. Thank you. Jordan Cote”
