Dog Boarding in Old Seward-Oceanview, Anchorage

“Tilly loved Orawan! Kisses when they met and kisses goodbye ? . We really felt she looked after Tilly like she was her own dog. We received pictures and updates regularly and she was so nice to wash Tilly’s bedsheet so that it was fresh and clean to come back with us in the campervan. We would definitely request Orawan if we needed dogsitting again.”

“Thank you for taking good care of my sweet fur baby! While we were gone you kept us updated with what Odin was doing and so glad that he found a second home! You gals did beyond our expectations and so grateful for everything! We will definitely be bringing him back for daycare to play with your pups and also for boarding in the future! Again, thank you so much!”

“Jennifer was amazing with my skittish pup. She has two sweet dogs, one of which is a big, lovable German Shepard who at first made my little pup nervous, but with Jennifer's oversight the two were soon getting along no problem. I came home to a happy dog!”

“As usual, Ira and Sal had a wonderful time at Huw and Jolynne's, and it sounds like it has officially become their home away from home. :) They're excited when they get there and in great spirits when we pick them up. Thank you both so much for your thoughtful care of our pups! We are so appreciative!”

“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! 👍👍”

“Addie took care of our dog Sydney as if she was one of her own! She sent us plenty of pictures to let us know how she was doing. Sydney was is great spirits when we picked her up and we wouldn’t hesitate to have Addie watch our dog again!”

“Jordan and her husband are amazing. Her place was clean and smelled wonderful. It was obvious that they love the dogs they care for. I got pictures daily of how much fun our puppy was having. I am so grateful I found them!”

“Selena took great care of my dog Scout. She sent me photos and updates while I was away to let me know how Scout was doing. Whenever I contacted her she got back to me right away. I will definitely have her take care of Scout again.”

“BEST ROVER SITTER EVER! My dog was in HEAVEN. Seriously my dog wanted to stay with Emely when I came to pick him up? Emely was extremely communicative - sending multiple pictures a day. Pictures were either him having a blast playing with her dog or him wiped out from the fun day. She took the best care of my pup I could ask for!!! 1000000/10 - best sitter in Anchorage!”

“I loved seeing all the pictures of Pippin having a great time playing and snuggling. Ashley and Nicholas were great at communicating and taking care of my pup. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I boarded my dog, Jada, with Scott for a two week trip and appreciated knowing Jada was in good hands. He’s very knowledgeable about dogs and dog handling. Scott is the ideal boarder because Jada gets to be the only dog and the well loved center of attention and gets to go on many nature walks in a lovely neighborhood. I highly recommend and will be happy to continue boarding Jada with Scott in the future.”

“Iain seemed really nice and had obviously taken my dog for routine walks. Great experience!”

About: My love of animals is obvious when I interact with them. I have had dogs for most of my adult life. I have senior and puppy dog experience. I am happy to chill with a senior who needs more low key interaction or work on potty training or whatever command(s) your puppy is working on. I have great working knowledge of beginning stress behaviors in dogs, and can therefore act appropriately to get them to a comfortable place away from the threat. Or just wear your puppy out while you’re at work. I am extremely versatile and want to work with you so that your animal is not only comfortable, but hopefully finds a friend in me. Your animal’s safety is my top priority, and then of course fun. I take on the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I am not currently working right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do have other obligations, but my s nestle is probably more flexible and open than many sitters. In my home I have two kids, 3 and 9 that have been raised around multiple dogs their entire lives. I wouldn’t bring my children into a client’s home, but they may be in my home- more or less depending on the week. My pup is crate trained, but is allowed on furniture and sleeps with us every night. When we lost our seniors pretty close together my eldest took it rough, (me too). Lucy, now 2 has been a joy to play with and train. She knows many commands and tricks. I am happy to do as little as food and water with a pat on the head, to walks, to hanging out with doggos while you’re working and happy to help if you’re out of town. I can do recurring or one time. My schedule is open and many Alaskans travel for work and play. I think my availability is a great way for us to work out possibly complicated routines. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“I have dogs that are rescued and have been wary of people and Olya is compassionate towards them and understands their boundaries and fears around new people. I believe she will be great with anyone’s pets and be a great friend to the pups too.”

About: I’m striving to create a kind, gentle, and loving doggy care home. I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs. :) I have done puppy training, crate training, etc. I work from home and have two homeschooled children, I have plenty of time to get to know, play with, and care for your pups! Our home is dog safe with a peaceful atmosphere. I have a decent sized fenced yard, two small dogs for company, and two older children. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Sharon is fabulous! Kenai was super comfortable upon arrival and when I picked him up. She was so caring towards my crowd shy pup. She even cleaned his large bed and crate prior to pick up due to lots of rain/mud. Would recommend and will be using her sitter services again.”

“Ina did great with our anxious, excited boy! Beckett enjoyed his stay with her and got lots of exercise as well. She was patient and made sure to meet all his needs! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our 2nd time leaving my senior dog with Catherine and Matthew’s family. It gave us great comfort knowing our fur baby was so well cared for. Benson came home healthy and happy after being with them for 3 weeks. It was the longest time we have ever left him anywhere. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”

“Lisa is amazing and caterers very specific needs for my Charlie. Here dogs really helped with my dogs temperament and when I got him back it was like he had visited a dog whisperer! The fenced yard ensured that ge was getting ample exercise (which he needs) with their dogs. My whole trip, I was getting updates, photos and videos of my dog. They ha e a special cat that likes to play with dogs. This was a great interaction because now I don't need to worry about Charlie attacking Cats... the whole experience was amazing and I will repeat next week when I travel again. I highly recommend!”

“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.”
