“So thankful of Madelyn! I had a last minute request the morning of when something came up and we unable to get home to let our dogs out in time. She is quick to response and communicates clearly. Very happy to find a dog walker so close to home. Ziggy and Zuzu are looking forward to their next walks with Madelyn!”

About: Growing up in Alaska we always had dogs in our home. It taught us responsibility, care and respect for animals at an early age. I have 30+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs, as both our own pets and others. In our household we have an eleven year old son and a 4 1/2 year old small, mixed breed, super friendly, dog. We will provide a safe, nurturing, playful environment for your furry friend and will treat them as if they are part of our family! We have a fully fenced back yard for them to romp and play. I am home every day until the first week of August so you can count on round the clock care for your pets. I recently reactivated my Rover account and am looking forward to hosting our first clients in our new home! I am currently not working for the summer so am available in my home full time. Once school begins, mid August, I will be available in the afternoons and weekends with limited availability Monday-Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and a furry friend who loves to play. If quiet space is needed, we have doggy door access from outside to the garage.
“August was great with our German shepherd dog. She took her on long walks filled with play and adventure. August was on time and professional, as well as a good communicator. We will be using her services again 😊”

About: Spent six years mushing with a recreational team, down to one dog now & just love dogs and skilled at caring for & managing many sorts of dogs. Very active lifestyle and love getting outside and exercising dogs. A tired dog is a good dog:) I work seasonally and have the winters off so I have lots of time for dog care and an open and flexible schedule. Doing foster care this winter so being pretty domestic and would love to sit some extra dogs for people. Have a nice large pet friendly home shared with one other well behaved husky and one teenager. It has a big (unfenced) yard and close to cravass moraine trail system which we frequent almost every day.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. If I’m house sitting, please know that I have my own dog and logistically speaking, I much prefer to have him with me. If boarding your pup, Ricco be with us too, he’s great with other dogs 😊 I work 7.5hrs per day, so care will be before/after work. I like to take my dog everywhere that I can just so he can get 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.
“Lance and Megan are amazing! Such sweet people that take amazing care of my goofy pup! My pup always comes back from his walks happy and ready for a nap. They're great at communication and our family highly recommends their services!!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs from working with behavior dogs at the humane society to dog walking in NYC! I have also given medication to both dogs and cats. I am very patient with fearful and anxious pups and have had a reactive dog which taught me tons about dog body language. I believe all dogs are good dogs! I currently have a very flexible work schedule which allows me lots of extra time to walk and house sit pups! I love animals and would love to add pet care into my weekly schedule :) I have a large fenced in yard at my house and a small trail around the property for walking. I am also available to walk or play with your pups at your house! I am patient with dog temperaments of all kinds :)
About: I love all animals, I love meeting new animals and their owners, and I want to help anyone who needs a little extra help keeping the fur babies occupied and happy and well exercised while you are gone. I’ve had a few guinea pigs growing up, lots of dogs. The dogs never end in our home. I currently have two cats and a dog of my own. I feel that I am very trustworthy and reliable, I can guarantee your pets will be happy and safe with me whenever you need me to help out! :) My schedule is wide open! I have a dog and two cats of my own, all animals get fed twice a day, morning and night. The dog gets long walks to a park near our home, sometimes we take him on hikes and he goes camping with us every time. He’s very high energy so we try to get him as much exercise as we can, and we walk him 3 times minimum a day. The cats have lots of toys to play with, some interactive, some not. They still would rather play with a corner of a wrapper that didn’t make it into the trash somehow, but as long as they’re entertained I suppose! We care for our pets greatly, they are our best friends, and I know that yours are your best friends as well! I do everything I can in my power and with whatever knowledge I have to make sure all pets are well taken care of to the best of their owners expectations and to provide them with the safest but still most fun as possible experience. We live in a condo at the moment, but we take our dog on 3 walks a day at the very minimum! He gets as much exercise as we can give him. We take him on long walks to a park near our home, he goes on camping and fishing trips with us, we makes sure he has his collar and harness on every time he is out, and he’s always on a leash in public places to prevent anything happening to him. We occasionally take him on hikes with us and to the lake as well! Occasionally we take our dog to my parents because they have a fenced in yard where he can run free all he wants. We have animal crates and use them whenever it’s necessary, lots of toys and treats of different kinds. My cats go outside on a leash and harness every once in a while in a safe area I trust. I never leave their sides when I take them outside.
