I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK. I do not offer long dog walks anymore. If you have a dog that is fearful/aggressive, please give me a try, I have a lot of experience with those types. I've been a kennel technician for the SPCA, (in Alaska) dog washing and boarding facilities as well as an animal hospital. I absolutely love getting dogs to open up and be a social dog again. I also have experience with large numbers of dogs as well so, please feel free to message me anytime. For house sitting appointments I consider it S.O.P. (Standard operating procedure) to wash any laundry or linens I use. I also tend to leave the house during normal business hours, around 5-8 hours. This will vary day to day, client to client. I also require a Meet and Greet for all new clients with all concerned parties. Rover will not release your address until both parties accept the booking, while I have no issue meeting at a neutral address/setting initially. I will ultimately need to meet with you at the residence that I will be working at, with the animal/s. At the meeting I will have a list of questions about emergency info/plans and then a few personal questions related to my stay. I will also need departure and arrival times to correctly plan out my schedule. I have multiple responsibilities including another part-time job and can not provide around the clock care.
