Pet care experience
Your Pet’s #2 Favorite (After You!)
I have professional experience working at a dog resort in Arizona, where I learned the importance of structured care, behavior awareness, and creating a safe and positive environment for dogs of all temperaments. After moving to Alaska, I started sitting and have been providing pet care for the Kenai Peninsula for 3 years. Over time, I have built a strong group of regulars for our doggy daycare, which has been really rewarding and speaks to the trust our clients place in us. I focus on making sure each dog feels comfortable, active, and cared for just like they are at home. During their stay, dogs get plenty of outdoor time and exercise throughout the day (9 AM–10 PM). I also work on simple daily training and reinforcement with the dogs in my care to help improve behavior and manners. Communication is also a big priority for me. I provide regular updates, which include photos and videos, so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re away. I make sure clients are always informed with fast and clear communication throughout the stay. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own. I pay attention to their individual needs, and I want both pets and owners to feel completely at ease. If a client isn’t happy, I’m not happy! It's really as simple as that.

Ratings and reviews
Andrew was amazing! He accommodated my pup on a last minute, emergency basis and did so well with her! Shes a bit reactive and he was still more than willing to take her in and give her the attention and care she needed. Will definitely be back again in the future. Thanks!
My elder dog and 5 year old dogs were the happiest I’ve ever seen the whole picking them back up!I could see they were taken good care of. They came to me happy and didn’t dart right into the car like the past kennel pick ups. She is so kind and clearly takes good care of everyone”s pets. We are truly thankful for them!
Seriously, we can’t say enough amazing things! We recently moved to the area and found ourselves in a bit of a pinch with our dogs. Andrew was incredibly accommodating with our crazy schedule, and our dogs had an absolute blast! It was clear from the start that they were well cared for, loved, and in great hands. We’re so thankful to have found someone we can trust to love and care for our dogs when we can’t. We’ll definitely be using Andrew again!
Olive had a wonderful stay here. She was well taken care of, and loved being around the other dogs! It was a great location with lots of space for her to run and play. I also got constant updates and lots of photos while she was boarded. Thanks again!
Jenny and the family were so kind and good with our girl, Koa. She seemed at ease when we came to get her, which is unusual. We will be taking her here from now on.
Wonderful experience for our two pups! Our boys spent their days playing with the small dogs, and happily graduated to the large dog yard for more frolic time with the ‘big dogs’. Drop off was well organized, communication was great. Our pups came home tired but not ready to leave - they wanted to stay for more playtime. I highly recommend, and we will be rebooking again when on the Kenai fishing!

Schedule
I am available for pet care daily from 9 AM to 10 PM, including weekends and holidays. This is a full-time commitment, and I maintain a consistent, reliable schedule year-round so owners can depend on me whenever they need care. I operate every day of the week and prioritize keeping dogs active, engaged, and comfortable throughout their stay. Our goal is to make sure each dog has attention and plenty of time outside during the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer both doggy daycare and boarding, providing flexible care options based on each dog’s needs and each owner’s preference. Dogs are welcome in my home environment and also have access to multiple spaces depending on what best suits each dog’s comfort level, routine, and behavior. This allows me to adjust care on an individual basis rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' setup. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely socialize, play, and stay active throughout the day under supervision. For dogs that prefer quieter environments, I am able to separate them into other areas to ensure they feel more secure and stress-free. Cleanliness is a top priority in all of my spaces. I maintain a consistently clean and sanitary environment to ensure the health and safety of every dog in my care. I also focus heavily on socialization, positive interaction, and routine. Dogs are introduced and grouped appropriately based on temperament, energy level, and owner preferences. If requested, I also provide individual walks to ensure dogs get exercise and stimulation. I closely follow each owner’s instructions and preferences to make sure every dog is cared for exactly how they need to be. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home while receiving personalized care.
