“Justin was an amazing match for our pup and took wonderful care of him. We greatly appreciated his flexibility, responsiveness, and the updates he shared while we were away. We would absolutely recommend booking with him and hope to use his services again in the future. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was so well cared for.”

Karen S.

“Sarah took great care of Quigley! He loved his week with her and her senior pup, and she kept us updated on how he was doing while we were away.”

Robin B.

“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”

Savana B.

“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”

About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.

“Amanda is amazing. Lola loves the whole family. Happy dogs at Amanda’s. Regular updates and feedback. Very responsible care. Thank you Amanda for taking the fear and anxiety out of the equation.”

“Tania was wonderful! She took our pup on walks and brought her along on outings with the family. She was quick to respond to my messages and answered all of my question. Drop off and pick up were easy. My nervous puppy happily followed her into the house as soon as she met Tania. Highly recommend! We will definitely book with her again next time we need someone to watch our pup.”

About: ’m a dog lover at heart, with 10+ years of professional dog sitting and walking experience. We enjoy daily walks in beautiful Alaska nature, and my doggie guests truly get to have a “HAY DAY” here! 💕🗻☀️🐶😄 Our home is cozy, calm, and full of love — with comfy couches, plenty of doggie toys, and lots of gentle attention. My sweet doggie Buddy and the friendly Chihuahua in our household both enjoy the company of well-mannered, friendly furry guests who like to play, relax, or simply be part of the family during the day. 🐾 Our Guest Vibe (Important Please Read) Because we also have a Chihuahua here, and to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy, we now welcome: • Small to medium-sized dogs, or • Friendly, gentle “neighborhood dog” types (such as Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, mixes with similar temperaments) For everyone’s comfort, we are not a fit for dogs with: • Chasing instincts toward small dogs • Territorial, food-guarding, or toy-protective behaviors • High prey drive or rough play styles This helps us maintain a peaceful, loving, all-friends-together environment where every dog feels safe and cared for. 🏡 A True VIP Experience This is a kennel-free, home-away-from-home vacation or day-stay experience — not a high-volume boarding setup. I intentionally keep a small, compatible group so each dog receives calm attention, affection, and a family atmosphere. If your dog loves: ✨ Cozy home vibes ✨ Daily nature walks ✨ Friendly companions ✨ Gentle care and personal attention …then this may be their perfect little vacation retreat 💖🐾 I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure it’s a wonderful match for everyone — dogs and humans alike! I work from home, and take just a few doggies at a time (doggie sitting is my happy side gig) - so they get to have a home away from home experience that’s not overwhelming, but cozy, full of personal attention, love, and fun. Your fur baby will have exclusive personal company and care here: it’s a safe, good energy, and very dog friendly environment. See the main description 🐶💕

“Denice is clearly an animal lover and my dogs clearly knew they were among friends. Introduced them to other animals appropriately and my pups seemed happy and healthy at pickup. I was worried they'd be sad because they are used to sleeping in bed with me and would be in kennels but they did really well and she worked to figure out what they specifically needed as she got to know them.”

About: I grew up in a very pet-friendly home and have always been surrounded by animals. My mom consistently had multiple cats at a time, and my dad and stepmom have always had several dogs in the household as well. Because of that, I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels! I absolutely love animals and so does my entire family. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and almost 1 year old. We love going outside and playing with our two dogs! We spend a lot of time with our dogs and cat giving them love and playing with them! We do not have a fenced yard but our front yard is pretty big and a decent backyard. We can easily use crates for them if needed/preferred.

“Tanner took good care of my family member and kept me in the loop about his goings on. Sent a photo too. He was quite responsive to my needs - a death in the family required an 11th hour booking. I appreciate him coming though in a pinch.”

“Kristina was great would without a doubt use again. Our dog is very nervous and has separation anxiety Kristina made owner and dog very comfortable. Thank you!”

Branzon A.

“Nichole and her husband were such amazing sitters for our kitten, Pluto. They were flexible with us adding a few days last minute, and sent pics of our boy. We will be booking with her again!”

Caitlin B.

“I was hesitant to leave Beau as he can be difficult, is diabetic and is often skittish. He did need extra attention which was given and greatly appreciated. I received pictures which I enjoyed. When I dropped him off, he went right to Ashley, walked into the house with her without a problem. He was happy to see me when I picked him up. I have scheduled his next stay already. I am relieved that Ashley will take him again. It's a relief to me and I believe he will enjoy going back.”

Yolonda M.

“Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!”

About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. I have one dog, Ricco, who is great with other pups of all sizes and ages. We have a large intended yard that’s great for fetch and trails nearby for walks or runs! I work 7.5hrs per day, MWF I work from home and TR I work in Wasilla. I like to take the fur babes everywhere that I can, just to get them out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.

“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”

“Nichole has great communication, and went beyond our expectations taking care of our golden, Nala. We have been looking for a good, trustworthy home-away-from home for Nala and we feel like Nichole and her family provide exactly that. Nala got lots of play, snuggles, and attention. They also have a huge fenced yard and well-kept home. When I picked her up she was happy and tired! We highly recommend Nichole if you need a someone to look after your pup!”
