Pet care experience
I treat everyone's as my own family member. With over 24 year experience walking, training and caring for animals of all shapes and sizes you can feel confident your baby or babies are in the right hands. Our whole family adores dogs and cats. Currently we have one American short hair cat and a brand new German Sheppard malamute mix puppy. I have owned siamese cats, ragdoll, and American short hair and a pug and papillon that have passed away as well as a small mix breed. In the past I have also had chickens, sheep, mice guinea pigs, and kune kune kune pigs. My husband owned a Malamute mix growing up. I have experience with animals of all sizes from horses to iguanas. I have taken some courses in dog and cat cpr and first aid and can comfortably take care of any medication or special diet needs. I will happily follow your instructions and take pictures for you to see your baby or babies when you are away.My goal is for you to feel the utmost confidence. Anything I can do to achieve that I will happily do. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine with me being 100% home. It means that your fur baby gets love and attention all day long with long walks on the property or indoors relaxing. I want to tell you why you can feel safe and secure with me. I started out pet sitting when I was 12 years old. Then around 15 I worked with a dog catcher. She liked having me around because dogs even previous aggressive ones would calm down around me. Since then I have done pet sitting for friends and family. I have worked with all sizes of dogs from Saint Bernards to Beagles and Wolf/malamute mix. My own dog Captian Jack was a papillon. He was my best friend and I miss him every day. For cats, I have shown cats at cat shows. I have also had cats and have shown them at cat shows.
Reviews
Aurora and her husband seem like nice people that mean well, but it would seem like common sense to not offer dog boarding services if you have an active flea infestation. They mentioned prior to the boarding that they have "fleas in the yard" which is probably true of everyone with land in the countryside. I figured she was just being extra cautious in case there was a small chance my dog (Ayla) got some fleas. The day I pick up Ayla, I chatted with Aurora's husband before leaving. He casually mentioned that they were going to be moving soon because they can't handle the fleas anymore. Alarm bells started going off in my head. Got Ayla back home and after closer inspection I discovered that she was absolutely covered in fleas; this corroborated why she was also acting lathargic and had lost some weight. We gave her two flea shampoo baths; the shampoo worked well as we were finding lots of dead fleas, but they were still all over her. We ended up rush ordering K9 Advantix which took care of the fleas 2-3 days later. I'm grateful for Aurora and her husband taking care of Ayla, but I would have much rather have left her with a sitter without an active flea infestation. I'm not sure if their flea situation changed between my booking and Ayla's visit, but even then they should of done the right thing and cancelled.
Amazing people
Aurora and Dan are super awesome! They kept us updated with photos and videos of our furry baby and kept us at ease being far away from our baby! Thanks Aurora and Dan!
Brees had a great visit with Aurora and her family. He was well cared for and loved. Was the perfect environment for my best buddy. Thanks so much. Will definitely be bringing him to Aurora if she's available the next time I need care for my dog.

Home
Information Aurora G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there is a particular activity your fur baby enjoys or routine he or she is used to. Anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable I would.
A typical day
We typically walk all the dogs 3 or 4 times a day. All the dogs I've watched have absolutely loved walking and exploring the best the heart of Alaska has to offer. I also throw the ball for the dogs if they are interested. When they aren't outside with me they are welcome to cuddle up with me in your home or mine.
