Trained Dog Handler
Pet care experience
I absolutely love dogs. I worked in a dog kennel with 31 dogs for six months and volunteered at a kennel with 19 dogs in Finland for two months. I've handled dogs to hook them up to carts and sleds. I've driven sleds and carts with five dogs around short tracks. I've overseen play groups of three dogs. I am trained to do health checks. I have experience issuing water IVs to dogs. I've walked dogs following specifications from kennels managers along set routes and through trails. I also have experience dealing with dogs encountering wildlife including porcupines and moose. I've done dog sitting for co-workers and friends in the past. I really enjoy spending time with dogs even if I have a full-time job doing it already. Currently available anytime for dog care. I live off of Browns Lake Rd but am willing to travel to Soldotna and Kenai for overnight and day sitting dogs. I will have to have an additional reason to travel to town for walking or drop in visits. My property is not yet set up for dogs so I will be bringing dogs to the local dog park or to local hiking spots for any day care activities. They will be accompanied by my two service dog trained Alaskan huskies. My car is equipped with water, a dog hammock and treats at all times.
Reviews
Pamela was so helpful! I was visiting from out of town and brought my dog on vacation with me. Runa wasn’t able to come horseback riding ? and Pamela helped give her a few play breaks while we were occupied. She also made sure Runa was comfortable in her kennel!
Pamela was awesome! She was willing work with us until we could our Denali Park bus trip booked. She came at 5am and picked up Isaac at our campground and brought him back to the campground. Isaac was able to go swimming and go on hikes with Pamela. He was definitely pooped when he got back! We would definitely have Pamela watch our dog again.
Great job taking care of my high maintenance and high energy dog. I came home after a week to a very happy and healthy dog!! Thanks for the care and peace of mind!
Pamela only stayed with my girl two nights, but she made Amaya feel like a princess. Thank you for sending photos and keeping me updated! It was my first official time with a dog sitter, but Pamela made it easy.

Information Pamela W. would like to know about your pet
I'm used to working with huskies. My puppy was a wheaten terrier so I always want to work with them. Before sitting I would like to know routines, if there are any weird habits that the dogs have, if they are shy around people. I would prefer to meet the dog before committing to any work with them, just to ensure they are comfortable with me. I would want to know if they've ever slipped their leash or collar before and how they reacted. I would also want to know treat schedules and whether or not I am allowed to give them anything before or after walking.
A typical day
I’ll bring your pup to the local dog park to socialize with other dogs or go to a local park or recreation area for a walk and some fresh air. I carry water with me at all times and pay attention to your dogs to gear the trip towards them.
