“Erica was absolutely wonderful- did an amazing job with my pups and was very good about communicating with me. Also sent over a ton of wonderful pics of my dogs… she was great and I would absolutely use her again~”


“I left a house full of plants and she took care of them well. Some didn’t make it, but that was more likely my fault. Great communication. My cat seems happy.”


“Lindsey was kind and quick to respond to my msgs. She was caring and asked for instructions on how to watch Benny. She sent me photos of him while she let him out and he looked very happy. Thank you, Lindsey! I will definitely rebook with you again!”


“Izzy did a great job taking care of our dog. He's took to her as soon as she walked in the door on her screening meeting. He's 15 years old and has never allowed anyone to take him on a walk besides family, but he went with Izzy. We've already booked her for another trip we have next month.”


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.

“Lucy was quick to respond to a last minute request to let our pup out when we knew we would be late getting home. She spent time with him, sent a photo, and made it an easy drop-in!”


About: I care for animals unconditionally. I am currently training my 10 month old Malamute and through this experience I have learned that I am able to read dogs really well. I have always had dogs, usually lots of them. My mom showed me how to care for them and is on Rover as well. She has probably taken care of your pet! I am experienced in medical care and I also stay very active (especially now with an arctic mixed breed around.) Most importantly, I am excited to get to know your pet and show them love and attention. My schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available during the week and typically off on the weekends. I will likely walk dogs in the morning and then at lunch and something longer in the evenings. When at my home, your dog will have a fenced backyard. There is a small unfenced section to walk through from our door. Depending on your dog we will pass through this leashed or unleashed (up to you!) My car is set up with a dog gate for safer trips to go hike on or off leash. We feed all dogs seperate from each other (you never know..) and will only go off-leash once your dog knows and trusts us. I am happy to learn from you about what cues your dog requires to stay close and safe.

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: 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: Looking for a reliable, caring companion for your fur-baby? I offer personalized, trustworthy pet care with patience, love, and flexibility—ensuring your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Because I work freelance and set my own schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm flexible, reliable, and able to accommodate last-minute changes. This means your pet will always get the attention, care, and affection they deserve—without compromise. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication to the letter. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for—treating them like my own every step of the way. Their comfort and well-being are always my top priority.


About: I’m am all about the needs of your pets. I have watched dogs that need walks three times a day to once a day. I had a cat that needed an inhaler and steroid medications daily. I’m here to help you have a stress free trip knowing your baby is being taken care like you would. I send picture every other day for updates whiles gone. I clean, willing to help clean poop or not. I was dog sitting when we had the earthquake and was able to keep my customers dog calm until she returned home from her trip. I’m here to make you and your pets comfortable. I don’t smoke or drink so you won’t need to worry about anything around your precious little guy. I have references you can call just ask! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

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.

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!

About: I grew up on a hobby farm, where I was responsible for feeding and caring for lots of different animals: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and fish. I have lots of hands-on experience of wrangling animals of all sizes and temperaments. So I can check on some of your larger animals during house checks as well! I believe some of the best medicine is getting outside and getting a dose of vitamin D with fur-babes. -I received a formal education: Bachelor's degree in animal science (pre-veterinary medicine) from USU. -I was a vet tech in an animal hospital for one year: I am comfortable with administering treatments to pets, if necessary, such as ointments, eye/ear drops, injections, pills, etc. -Farm hand for two years: I was in charge of 200+ goats and sheep, responsible for lambing, assisted many large animals during birth, vaccination of the lambs and after-birth recovery. I was an Advanced EMT for 4 years in PDX, since leaving this employment, my schedule is now extremely free. I am open in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, most days of the week. I have two cats (one Maine Coon and one black, long-haired) in my own home. My cats free-feed and have a litter robot to use. My cats are very friendly and one of them adores medium-big dogs! The other is a bit more skiddish, but warms up after a day.

Abagail C.
“Gail was great with my two dogs. I have a 80lb lab and a 110lb shepherd that adore Gail and they actually listen to her. Gail was dependable and always showed up when I needed help. Gail even helped get a tick out of my dog's ear that I didn't even know was bothering him. I trust Gail with my animals and it is such a relief to get an update photo of my dogs smiling and playing in the river while I am on vacation over 300 miles away. 100% recommend”
