6. Tynesha D.
“Tynesha 'Nesha" D. became my friend shortly after moved to Anchorage, over 7 years ago, and ever since then I now consider her my family. She's stuck in my life, it happens. I remember one time, I left on a trip from Anchorage to Las Vegas, and due to procrastination, I was unable to get my Great Dane "Sniper", in dog care before leaving. So, while at the airport, before boarding I called around for a dog care, then called Nesha and told her the scenario and where to find my hidden house key, and she took Sniper to the dog care. There were many other times I was away from the House temporarily, and Nesha watched Sniper, making sure he had food and water and was let outside. 100% reliable and loved, Nesha is.”
7. Abigail B.
About: I've taken care of lots of pets since I was young, but more seriously over the last 7 or so years. I love animals and would be happy to lend a hand since I am not currently able to have my own pet! Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions or discuss availability! Thanks. I am currently not working for a few weeks in between seasonal jobs so I have a really flexible schedule and can make it work! I have a fenced yard and two very easy going roommates (no other pets). I am happy to have a well-trained pet come and stay.

“Truly above and beyond. Thorough updates, very communicative, treated my dog and home with so much care. Brad is the best dog sitter I've ever experienced.”
9. Scott B.
“Scott was fantastic and I will definitely use his services again. He gave us daily updates on our two pups with photos. Scott handled my little dogs separation anxiety house damage wonderfully. He called right away to let us know what happened and that the little one was fine. Additionally, he took great care of the house and ensured it was as we left it or better. When we returned from our trip our dogs were happy, healthy, and sad to see Scott go. I would highly recommend him!”
10. Steven C.

11. Ellen E.
“Ellen watched my baby for a long weekend and was extremely reliable and responsive. She took the time to ask questions and get to know my pup and the house before I left. Highly recommend for a house/dog sitter!”
12. Cheyenne L.
“Cheyenne was more than a dog/house sitter. She became like family. Our dogs always perked up when they would hear her name. She was a tremendous help while we were traveling and our eldest dog of 14yrs was having issues walking due to his knees and on several meds. He would have accidents in the house and none of this bothered Cheyenne. We are so grateful to have her in our lives and to be able to spend the time with our fur babies. She will be the first one I go to when I’m in need of dog care. Thanks Kevin”
13. Joshua S.
“Joshua was super kind with our special needs senior and very understanding of his needs. Charger looked happy and content and was full of pep when we came home- everything we could ask for!”
14. Anni E.
“Anni was a great dog/house sitter. She communicated with me regularly about the dogs, sent photo updates and made sure our place was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Anni & hope to use her again on our next trip.”
15. Manuella B.
About: Since I was a child I love animals, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and even an owl. I always took care of the animals of someone in my family when I needed it, and at the age of 14 it was the first time I took care of an animal that was not from the family, for a few years this was always my second job, today I am a vegetarian for the love of animals. On weekdays from Monday to Thursday I am available from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., on Friday until 11:30 p.m. and weekends on Saturday all day until 11:30 p.m. and Sunday until 10 p.m. (If you need to sleep to take care of the animals, I am available from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday.) It depends on what the animal is like, size, age... I can go to the client's house to get to know the animal and space (if it is cared for at home). I'm not afraid and I'm very affectionate, I can put on and take off the collar, give medicine, bath, put on and take off clothes, diapers and accessories..

About: I've always been surrounded with animals. Strays seem to gravitate towards me. I'd love to work professionally with dogs some day, for now I'm certified through YouTube University. I am medically trained with crossover training for dogs&cats. I work a few hours, some mornings, otherwise I'm free to wonder around with the dogs My work schedule varies week to week but on average I work 4 hour shifts 2 - 7 days a week. Plenty of extra time. Dogs off leash ONLY if approved by owner and after dog shows trust. I have two dogs myself, all dogs can remain separated if needed.
