Pet care experience

Puppy love play time and snuggles!!

I’m located out in Nikiski. I used to run a doggy daycare back in Minnesota a few years back and decided to open back up here in Alaska 😊 pictures are from both experiences. Let’s just say I absolutely love dogs. Dogs are my favorite animal by far! 🐶 I have been watching dogs in my home for a few years now, but have had dogs of my own my whole life. I have experience with a variety of breeds both big and small. I love meeting the different types of dogs out there and seeing their personalities shine. When your pup stays with me and my family, they get to enjoying playing, taking a walk twice a day, and lounging in the comfort of a home away from home. We live on 5 acres so plenty of room to get the wiggles out! My kids are my big helpers when it comes to caring for the dogs and they know to give dogs the space they need if they don’t like kids. I look forward to working with you and providing exceptional care for your animals 😊❤️ my family loves having pups to stay!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 06, 2026

Milo and I are grateful for Jessica and her family. He was so happy to see her in the morning and cried leaving her and the kids. They were so wonderful with him and we feel blessed to have found them. She gave extra care looking out for Milo after his surgery. She was more than accommodating. We will absolutely be back. 🧡

Jessica is wonderful. Our dog is very anxious and she was very comfortable with Jessica and her family. I highly suggest her.

Jessica was amazing with our dog skor. He can be a bit grumpy with his older age which can intimidate people. Jessica made him feel very comfortable as each day of the stay passed. Thanks for taking good care of our grumpy old pup :)

Schedule

I prioritize the animals when they are in my care. I want them to feel at home when they are here. My kids are a big part of making the dogs feel welcome but understand that not all dogs welcome children, so we ensure the animal is comfortable and has all needs met and will be my little buddy for the day

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large property and take care and consideration in making sure all animals are safe. I potty animals one by one unless they are used to each other (such as siblings). I let the pups have access to the main home unless there are potty issues, in which they will stay on the hard floors or kenneled when necessary

Pets

A typical day

We will walk around our large yard as well as around our quiet neighborhood. If your pup does well off leash then we can play fetch down our long yard. I walk the dogs twice a day to get needed exercise and let them maintain a normal routine just like home 😊

I would like to know how they are with children so I can accommodate accordingly! I make rules with my kids about the dogs and want to make sure your pup is comfortable and can have a very pleasant stay here :)
