“Olga and her kids took such great care of Zeke. I got photo updates every day and she even bought him toys. Olga was super accommodating with drop off and pick up. We even had a meet and greet prior to the first day so Zeke would have at least met her before spending time with her. I highly recommend Olga as a dog sitter.”
“Huw& Jolynne are world class. My little pomperanian Suki LOVES them. They take great care and she comes back healthy, happy, and well cared for. When I do repeat stays, my little girl runs to them. I'm really pleased and highly satisfied with Huw & Jolynnes care!!!! Recommend them wholeheartedly.”
“Jessica sent pictures of maple often and told me he was doing just fine over there. Was flexible with picking up time changed and plan on using her again for next time.”
“Ralph and his wife went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. They made their home open to them and were communicative through the entire process. I would highly recommend their services and will use their services again. Very warm people who you can tell enjoy taking care of furry friends.”
“Brianna was such a great care taker for our two dogs while we were out of state traveling. They boarded with her, and she sent photos multiple times a day, along with a little update on how things were going. She is kind, sensitive to the dogs needs and paid attention to details. Very high praise for her!”
“Amanda is incredible! This was my second time leaving my pup with her for an extended stay. My Golden turned 1 year while I was gone, and Amanda went above and beyond to make the day special with a puppy birthday cake and balloons and so much love! Amanda sends thoughtful updates and incredible pictures every day, which makes me feel reassured that she is in good hands. And I wish I had her grooming skills! Bennet was perfectly fresh and clean when I picked her up…. How does she get a dog to smell so good?! Definitely recommend Amanda for dog care!!”
“We boarded our dog with Sharon and Michael right before moving because our dog was getting anxious with everything getting packed up, and they did a great job with him! It was clear that he felt safe there and they were great at communicating with me and flexible when we needed to change pick up times!”
“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.”
“Cima had a great stay at Crystal’s place. Thank you Crystal for watching our Cima! Looks like he had fun there outside in her fenced yard and we appreciated the photo updates. I do recommend Crystal.”
“Trey has been a reliable dog sitter and trainer for my pup. She is kind, has great communication and is very caring. We are very lucky to have her!”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”
“Emily was hands down the best sitter I’ve had on Rover. She was extremely communicative, went above and beyond to accommodate both me and my pup, and provided consistent updates throughout the stay. She even offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. I truly appreciated the care she showed and her ability to handle Oliver with confidence and kindness. Highly recommend.”
“Cadey & Jacob were incredible! They were the kindest people and took such great care of our dogs! They took them on all kinds of long walks and loved on them. Plus they sent plenty of pictures throughout their stay, which was fun to see and reassured me our dogs were in excellent care! Couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks for taking such great care of our boys!”
“This is the second time I’ve had Ryan watch my dog! 10/10 would recommend!! He is great, always sends updates and pictures, and even sent Jagger home with some new chew toys!”
About: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, but I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! I am a part time retail manager during the week and am a barista in the mornings on weekdays which i get off at 1 pm, so I have lots of time in afternoon. I think the biggest thing is this communication between the pet owner and the sitter. Any and all expectations will be met and I strive to go above and beyond.
“This was my first time to ask someone watch my puppies as TWO 5 months old Siberian Huskies which are super energetic and still on training phase. Andrea seemed to know dog’s characteristics already and she probably expected how my puppies will be. However, she took care of them so good for two nights without any problems and I had no worries during whole time. I am not sure if it is coincidence but puppies’ behaviors seem to be better with physically and emotionally after Andrea! I highly recommend anyone Andrea’s care for their dogs. Thank you again, Andrea!”
“She is awesome and she send pictures of my dog and letting me know how the days go. She walked my dog along with her dog. They both get along well. I am happy!”
“Sabrina and her family took good care of our boys while we were away. She was responsive and was able to handle any issues that our geriatric bulldog threw their way. I appreciate their patience with him during his stay.”
