“Finn's stay with Julie was great. I got multiple daily updates which was awesome since Finn is a puppy and I was worried he might be really stressed. They clearly have a lot of experience with dogs and all their quirks :). They are pretty flexible and offer a pick-up and drop-off option which came in handy this trip. I will definitely use them again. Their HOA only allows 2 dogs, so your dog will be the only one staying there with them and their dog. They are a very nice couple with a great set-up for watching a dog.”

“My parents and I gratefully and thankfully appreciate her professional services and precious caring ways to our pup. We will continue to seek her services for many years to come. I highly recommend to any pet parent.”

“I highly recommend Crystal to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy and caring. My Siberian husky, X, is very energetic and has a mind of his own off leash, so leaving him with anyone is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Crystal was incredibly attentive and patient with him, taking the time to ensure he could play safely with other dogs while keeping a close eye on him. She was flexible when I needed to extend his stay due to an unforeseen family situation, which eased a lot of my anxiety. What impressed me most was how well Crystal communicated — she asked thoughtful questions to understand X’s needs and kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos. Knowing she cared so much made leaving my “escape artist” baby much easier. I feel extremely confident recommending Crystal to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and well cared for.”

“Great communication and very responsive to a last-minute scheduling change. They have a comfortable house for small dogs and a fenced back yard. Most importantly, they really like dogs!!! I would definitely feel good about boarding my two little dogs with them again.”

“We are so grateful to have found Sarah for our poodle. Sarah was willing to do a meet and greet to ease my concerns. And while away, Sarah sent daily photos and status updates. We will absolutely continue to request Sarah for our dog sitting needs.”

“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”

“Amazing. Our dog was so happy and loved Karissa’s pup! Klarissa was super communicative and sent multiple cute photos each day. Would definitely recommend!”

“Trey is an awesome sitter! I know when Trey watches my dog that he is well taken care of, comfortable, and all his care needs are met. Thank you for taking such good, attentive care of Rocky!”
“SeanBob and Anke treated our girl with lots of love. She got plenty of exercise and socialization. He was communicative and shared photos often. Will be using SeanBob’s again!”

“Ralph loves the dogs that stay in his home as if they were his own and his house is the perfect dog house- warm, comfy, and with the most amazing fenced yard. 10/10 would use again.”


“Sharon and Michael always take great care of my sweet girl. It is very comforting to see pictures and video of her when I am away. She’s always happily running and playing in their yard. I appreciate the peace of mind I have knowing she being well cared for. Thank you Sharon and Michael🤗”

“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with other people, let alone strangers. We went to do a meet and greet beforehand and didn’t know quite what to expect. Ryan and Chelsea were great with both of them from the start. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very open. While we were away he kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us photos and videos often. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip and not have to worry how they were doing. When we went to pick them up, our dogs were excited to see us, but made sure to get last pets from Ryan. We know they are in good hands with Ryan and Chelsea. We will definitely be coming back to them for our trips and we highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”

“My pup had a great time with Emily and her dogs for the week that I was away. Her daily pictures and updates reassured me so much. 10/10 would request her services again. Thank you!! :)”

“Mandy was awesome with our English lab! Before our trip she let us have a meet n greet to make sure our animals were all friendly. Definitely went above and beyond with everything. Hope Mandy will want to watch Lucy again in the future! 👍👍”

“Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!”

“Spencer is great, both communicative and caring—i.e. a perfect Rover caregiver! Petra was so happy, I could tell she had a wonderful time. I really appreciate Spencer’s thoughtfulness about her dog reactivity, it shows that he’s tuned in, which makes me feel like Princess P is in good hands.”

“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for dogs who may be reactive or selective around other animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when your dog requires extra awareness and responsibility. I’m attentive, proactive, and committed to keeping every dog in my care safe by avoiding risky situations and managing walks and interactions thoughtfully. I also grew up in a dog-loving household with four or more dogs at any given time. Our home was the go-to place for family and friends to leave their dogs while traveling or working, and at times we even cared for entire litters of puppies. Because of this, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work from home on freelance engineering design projects, and my own home improvement projects. This means I have a heaps of availability to pay attention to your pet! I am an active individual that recently moved to Anchorage, I love walking with dogs to explore neighborhoods and get exercise. I also have a yard at my home, which is unfenced, and I look forward to romping around with leashed dogs. Regarding situations where dogs stay at my house, I currently have two young cats which any visiting dogs will have to be okay with. Because my house has two levels, I do have the ability to block the stairway and provide my cats with a sanctuary if the cats get tired of dog games.
