“Shawna was a fantastic cat sitter. She took excellent care of the cats and the house. She communicated throughout my trip and provided regular pictures and updates. She noticed when my cat had some skin irritation and told me about it right away. I would definitely have Shawna watch my cats again!”
“Dylan was absolutely wonderful with our two crazy German Shepherd boys. They can be a handful and a half and she was the perfect gal for the job. She was patient with them and played toys with them and gave them plenty of love and treats. The boys already can’t wait to have Miss Dylan come back to play!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special place in my heart for animals - so much so that I have pursued a career in conservation in Alaska! Since I was 10 years old, I have helped raise and care for 5 dogs, one of which lived to be 17 years old. Given my experience taking care of my own fur babies, my neighbors and friends have always been able to rely on me to help care for their beloved companions. Having owned a Rottweiler-Doberman mix myself, I am no stranger when it comes to loving and taking care of larger dogs; however, there is more than enough room in my heart for the small dogs too! I currently have a full time job and a pup of my own; however, I have plenty of time on the weekends to help play and care for your pups! With that in mind, my current lease does not allow me to bring other animals into my home. My philosophy when taking care of other people’s pets is to treat them like I would treat my own. When caring for my own pets, I have learned that positive reinforcement goes a long way, so I always ensure to keep a couple treats in hand for my four legged friends. Since every pet is unique and responds differently to training and care, I strive to treat every pet I care for in a way that works best for them and their owners.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats more since I was little. I’ve bonded with family and friends pets very well and helped out in care. Currently I’m working on my new job for the Alaska marine highway and in the process of getting a part time job. Free any day. I have three dogs currently, very well loved. They spend a lot of time being free around the house. Trained very well. They love playing.
About: I have been around pets for many years, the owners have always given great reviews! Not to mention I love being around dogs and cats! I am currently working full time but I am available most weekends. I am also available most days of the week after 4 o’clock. I am very flexible! I have always worked on a strict schedule for feeding, walking, and taking out for potty breaks! I am very flexible and am a fast learner if anyone has any special requests.

“Cassandra is just the sweetest! Our dogs get over the moon excited when she walks through the door! She’s incredibly patient and kind and her black lab is probably the best trained dog I’ve ever seen.”

Aidan P.
“Aidan is a great caretaker!! He was super attentive with my two cats, Simba and Scarlet, and got along with them perfectly. I was nervous how Scarlet would be around him since she isn’t the best with new people, but she warmed up to Aidan like she was his cat. He groomed them, kept their food and water full at all times, and made sure their litter box was always clean. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a loving and caring animal caretaker.”
