Dog Walking in Portage Valley, Anchorage

“William took good care of my two rescue dogs with some special needs. I appreciated the photos, a video, and communication. Great responsiveness and the dogs seemed happy too.”

About: I adopted my dog from the Hawaiian humane society 2 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Hoping to adopt another dog soon. I work 3 days a week and am pretty much free the rest of the week so I have a lot of time to check on your dogs. I have two dogs and a big yard. My dogs are pretty much free to run but mostly stay inside. They nap most of the day.

“Jennifer was persistent in trying to take our surprisingly shy dog for a walk. We appreciate her effort and look forward to future opportunities to work with her!”

“Max will go above and beyond your expectations of a dog walker. He is punctual, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. He cares about your dog's comfort and welfare and will treat your dog like it's one of his own. Your dog is going to love him!”

“Watching Joshua interact with my mother's elderly pug and my baby kitten was truly a joy to behold. His ability to connect with animals on a emotional and physical and psychological level is anything short of amazing. Joshua has a cheery and adoring disposition along with a passionate soul that dogs and cats and animals of all kind can really connect with. His experience in the medical field has been proven to showcase his abilities and capabilities when it comes to caring for animals and their needs. He is a devoted and caring owner when it comes to his own pug Deku, these two share a bond that is unmatched by any pairing of human and animal kind I have ever seen in my life. On many occasions I have witnessed Joshua put Deku's needs and other animals needs before his own. I have the utmost respect for Joshua and his loving and caring demeanor and passion for animals. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants someone to be focused on their furry companion. Thank you. Jordan Cote”

“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”

“Anni is an all round amazing animal person. She is very passionate about the well-being of cats especially and has volunteered countless hours to the local cat rescue. She knows just about anything there is to know about cats and cat care. I trust her with any animal and know they are in the right hands.”

“Gloria takes great care of my senior dog and is awesome at communicating.”

About: I can pet sit in Anchorage or Girdwood. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, bunnies, and horses. I even had a giant spider monkey for a few years! Dogs are my favorite. I am a substitute teacher during the school year. From August school start to May end date, I’m only available on evenings or weekends. During the summer, I’m available 24/7 Monday through Friday. I have a small apartment. Dogs are allowed on the bed. I can use a crate if provided. There is no fenced yard, so daily walks are necessary.

Dogs are welcome on furniture in my house so they are comfortable. I live in girdwood so there are walking trails right by me. I currently work in Anchorage Monday through Friday. So your pet will be with my other two dogs from 8-5. Let me know if you think they need to be separated. I treat your dog with love and care. I currently live where there is no fenced in yard so please let me know if your dog needs to be on a leash for potty breaks.

“Molly took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog with some health issues. Molly was willing to do whatever she had to do to take care of her so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Molly definitely loves animals and it shows. She is the first person I ask to watch my dogs.”

About: Hello. I've taught dogs to smile. I have a large fenced yard on the edge of the Bicentennial Campbell Tract trail system for walks. I am patient, loving and available for your dog during it's stressful separation from you. Attention to detail and with your directives I will certainly take the best care of your loved one!

I love all dogs equally and look forward to meeting you all! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions for me. Have a great day!

About: I love animals and growing up in Homer Alaska on a farm has allowed me to care for animals as large as horses to small animals such as bunnies. I have taken care of horses, goats, cows, donkeys, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, and reptiles. I am in my final semester of nursing school and I am hoping to make some extra income while doing something I enjoy. I am a full time student and half my classes are online. I can give my full attention to animals when I am in charge of watching them. I do have in person classes typically 2 hours per class. Class days and times vary since I am in nursing school. I have a large fenced in yard that I can allow animals I play in. I am also a very active person and love to go on walks. You can trust me with your pets due to my responsive care, love, and interest with animals.

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.

“Tiffany recognizes the needs of your pet and responds to them. She has experience with both small and large dog breeds. She communicates clearly with both people and animals. One of my favorite things about Tiffany is she will share with you the good times your dog is having, with texts or pictures. I trust Tiffany with my fur babies.”

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 they are gone. I have fostered an adult cat and dog before. 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! :) I do have a job, however, I only need to go in a few times a month for 5 hours minimum, and it’s an overnight job so I’ll have the whole day almost every single day available to care for your fur babies! Yay! :) 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.

“Heidi is the best dog caregiver we have ever had. We have a sweet, sensitive, rowdy pup and left him with her for two weeks while we got married out of the country. She took the time to understand his personality and what he needed to feel safe and secure, and also worked with him to build his confidence. Adding in the nightly bed cuddles and morning massages, she took better care of our dog than we do :). We especially appreciated Heidi's regular updates about their adventures- so fun! Please don't book her because we very much want her available for our next trip out of town.”

About: Hi, I'm Katie! I've cared for dogs my entire life-- my family adopted and gave a safe home numerous dogs throughout my childhood. I helped care for them in every way: feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, cleaning up, administering medicine, playing and socializing. I don't have any pets of my own right now, so I miss being around dogs. I look forward to meeting yours! I work 2 days a week, but otherwise I am free to house sit or board smaller dogs in my home. I live in Girdwood so I am more able to commit to longer house sits in Girdwood than in Anchorage. I have no pets of my own, so there are no chances for conflict between animals. I have a small place in Girdwood, so I can board small/medium breeds of dogs only.

“Sarah is an incredible as a pet caregiver. She is sensitive to respecting dog’s boundaries and understanding the level of interaction they may want or not want from a caregiver. She is patient in earning the trust of animals and devoting in the love and care she gives. You can trust any pet in her care will be safe and loved and she will go above and beyond to meet their specific needs.”

“Tina is an amazing Pet Sitter!! She is always on time & gives TLC to all animals in her care. When animals need special care, such as medication or special diet, she follows directions and gives them extra attention.”
