Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Girdwood, Anchorage

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, have been pet sitting since I was about 12, and have a few pets I housesit/watch throughout the year. I love to get out on walks or just sit and enjoy the company! I have a part time job at the rock gym here in Anchorage, and go to school at APU. I have plenty of time to get around town though, and I try to get outside for a walk, run, hike, bike, ski etc. everyday. I have a few pet sitting jobs around town, sometimes just a quick pop in to feed/water/and hang out for a bit, and extended house and pet sitting stays. I love to go on walks, runs, and skis and am comfy talking dogs on longer walks, hikes, or runs or just a walk around the neighborhood.

“Sarah did a great job caring for our cat, Oyster! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and made us feel confident that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Sarah for future pet care!”

“Jenny is the best, most dependable sitter. Mollie loves both her and her daughter to pieces and is always so happy to be with them! Jenny always goes above and beyond, making sure Mollie is safe, has fun, and very well cared for during her stay/visit. She also takes the best smiley pics and shares them from the visit!! Always my #1 choice.”

“Lover of all animals. Amy is an excellent animal caregiver. Polite, punctual and my pets are always happy to see her. Highly recommend Amy and her pet sitting services.”

About: I have owned and cared for my own pets, and cared for my friends pets when they leave out of town. I’ll walk them, feed them, and give medications if need be. I do work a full time time job, but can be a little flexible just a little communication and can work things out for a daily or weekly routine. Play with your pet, go on walks to tire them out, give some good belly rubs, and of course feed them and bathe them if possible.

“Max will go above and beyond your expectations of a dog walker. He is punctual, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. He cares about your dog's comfort and welfare and will treat your dog like it's one of his own. Your dog is going to love him!”

“Tessa was awesome! Great communication from start to finish, and she provided some great pictures of her interactions with my two silly cats while I was visiting family out of state during the holidays. I came home to healthy, happy pets after a 12 day trip - couldn't have asked for anything better! Would definitely recommend, and will book again during my future travels.”

“Sarah was incredibly responsive and willing to help me out! She came to meet me and my cats prior to caring for them and made sure that I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I am very happy with Sarah’s work - my very shy cat even liked her enough to make an appearance which is a huge win. I will definitely be rebooking with Sarah! Thank you!!”

“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: Many years of family pet and personal dog experience. I am comfortable at handling pullers and leash reactive dogs. When possible I like to visit trails for walks. Our current favorites are the Centennial Park trails. I have Fridays and weekends open with a high level of flexibility to get out of the house for walks and adventures out on the trails. I am most comfortable having dogs on leashes during walks and crating them when I leave the house but am flexibile to the routine and schedule the animals are most accustomed to.

“Reliable and knowledgeable Rover! I highly recommend.”

“Aizada took care of my pup when I was out of state and I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking to find a pet sitter or a dog walker! She made sure my puppy got enough exercise and provided him with a fun and loving environment. 💕She also was great with communication and was always on time! If you need a reliable person who will give attention and great care of your dog definitely do not hesitate to reach out to Aizada, you will not be disappointed! 😊”

“Jennifer was able to come on short notice. She arrived on time and sent me pictures of the kitties. When we arrived home, everything was clean and kitties were happy and fed. I will be reaching out again for our next trip.”

“Kayla did a wonderful job! She was great with the dogs, reliable, helpful and kind. Very thankful we found her.”

“Ruth went above and beyond! I 100% recommend her. When we first met she even gave me tips on ways I can train Harvey. I didn’t expect her to do everything she did with my boy… She walked him and even played with him when all we scheduled was a drop-in so I really appreciate that. She also took many many pictures for me and I always love seeing my boy. I would book with her again :)”

“Deanna is reliable and great with our dogs! We love using her!”

“Anni is an all round amazing animal person. She is very passionate about the well-being of cats especially and has volunteered countless hours to the local cat rescue. She knows just about anything there is to know about cats and cat care. I trust her with any animal and know they are in the right hands.”

“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”

About: Hi, I'm Katie! I've cared for dogs my entire life-- my family adopted and gave a safe home numerous dogs throughout my childhood. I helped care for them in every way: feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, cleaning up, administering medicine, playing and socializing. I don't have any pets of my own right now, so I miss being around dogs. I look forward to meeting yours! I work 2 days a week, but otherwise I am free to house sit or board smaller dogs in my home. I live in Girdwood so I am more able to commit to longer house sits in Girdwood than in Anchorage. I have no pets of my own, so there are no chances for conflict between animals. I have a small place in Girdwood, so I can board small/medium breeds of dogs only.

“Sarah is an incredible as a pet caregiver. She is sensitive to respecting dog’s boundaries and understanding the level of interaction they may want or not want from a caregiver. She is patient in earning the trust of animals and devoting in the love and care she gives. You can trust any pet in her care will be safe and loved and she will go above and beyond to meet their specific needs.”
