“I recently had the pleasure of having Tia as a pet sitter for my two dogs, Darrow and Ozzy, while I was away for 10 days. From the very beginning, Tia was incredibly professional and attentive. She provided daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see just how happy and well-cared for my dogs were during my absence. Tia went above and beyond in her care, taking the time to play with Darrow and Ozzy, ensuring they were not only fed, but also entertained and loved. It's clear she has a genuine affection for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with them. When I returned home, both dogs were in excellent spirits, and it was obvious that they had formed a bond with her. I highly recommend Tia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Tia, for taking such great care of Darrow and Ozzy!”
“Dylan was amazing! They kept us updated on the animals and even had our timid cat out and playing. They were very dependable and respectful of the house. We'll definitely book with Dylan again : )”

“Maggie was amazing and we will absolutely book with her again! It was our first time having someone stay in our home with our dog and it was a breeze and our dog was SO happy! Even the neighbor stopped by to say how great she was! Thank you Maggie!”
“She was a life saver. We had a girl booked for months and the week of we reached out to her and she wouldn't respond. We reached out to Yuliia on short notice and she agreed to do it. She took great care of our 3 girls.”
“Sophie was so great with my girl! Very knowledgeable on animals and would for sure recommend her.”

All furbabies are extremely innocent and deserve the best care possible! I’m very accommodating and willing to continue any training you may be doing.
“Zebulon tended to my dogs perfectly. They took to his kind and gentle soul and were calm and content when I returned home from an overnight trip”
About: Dogs have been my #1 animal my whole life! I’ve had the best opportunities of taking care of animals starting at age 12 with drop-in visits for family & friends pets. My love for animals only continued from there with working at multiple dog care facilities, volunteering at Anchorage Animal Care & Control, and even fostering dogs for local rescues! I love working with all different types of dogs - size, age, behavior, etc. With the experience of employment and volunteer work, I’ve been able to encounter various types of dogs and through personal experience of my own dogs. I’ve gone through the experience of taking care of my own paralyzed dog and am now in the process of training a puppy to be a service dog. I’ve been able to gain lots of knowledge and experience from these two pups alone and can’t wait to gain even more from others in the future! I hope to bring the best care I can for your furry loved ones 🤍 I am free Sunday through Friday anytime of the day, and have the ability to drop-in on your pets multiple times a day with reliable transportation. I will follow the instructions of care provided to me and make it a blast for your pup! I can play with them, administer any medications, feed/water, etc.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking personal care of numerous dogs over the last 30 years. The dogs I’ve personally cared for have been various sizes - from less than 30th lbs to over 80lbs. I’m comfortable in caring for all sizes. I love all dogs!! I have a huge fenced-in yard with both sun and shade. I have a 2.5 year old neutered male cattle dog mix (Thor) who is the love of my life. He loves all people and all animals. He would love to play in our yard with your dog(s). In the last year I was employed by a high-end doggy daycare and boarding business as a Pet Care Technician. In that capacity I watched over and cared for numerous dogs - both large and small. I cared for and loved each one as if they were my very own. I’d love to care for your furbaby as well! I am currently retired from work as a Pet Care Tech at a high end doggy day care and boarding business. I’m available on weekdays and completely available on weekends for playtime and care of your pup! I have a large fenced-in yard and a playful 2.5 year old cattle dog mix. Playtime, sunshine, and love await your furbaby. If your dog is older or more laid back, then laying in the yard sunbathing and plenty of snuggling time sounds wonderful as well.
“My crew LOVE Brandie! She took great care of them, loved all over them, and communication was great and she sent pics so I knew my loves were doing well!”
“Destiny did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. She handled our dog's finicky eating and allergies well. I would definitely recommend trusting your fur friends to Destiny!”
“Cheryl was great with Lucy! She sent pictures multiple times showing Lucy snoozing at nap time, waiting for a treat and playing with other dogs. Cheryl treated Lucy like she was her own and I knew Lucy was well taken care of. Highly recommend Cheryl to watch your pet.”
About: I have two pets of my own, Ollie and Max! I also have 4 years experience working with animals. While in high school and shortly before college I worked at a dog kennel and doggy daycare facility. I love all dogs any size, age, and breed! They will be cared for the same way I would my own dogs. While me and your furry friend are together we will cuddle, play, walk and they are my priority while you are away. I have an extremely flexible schedule where I get to work from home most days. When I am out working I don’t typically leave the house until 1:00 pm and I’m back home by 5:00 pm. While at home my dogs go out on a leash and are walked 2-3x a day for 30 min to an hour. I also would be able to do the same for your pets based on your needs!
About: I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I am a student looking to get outside more and go on walks or visit with dogs to make my longs days of studying for graduate school go by a little quicker and to make them a little more enjoyable. I love to go on walks to stay fit and what better way to do it than having a k9 companion with me!? I have a now senior chocolate Labrador of my own at home, who is still hyper and energetic. I love all dogs and would love to give your dog all the love and attention they need. Let me strut your mutt while you are at work :) I am a graduate student taking classes and completing clinic hours. My availability is 6-10 am and 5-8 pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am also available after 4:30 pm Tuesday and Thursday. On weekends, I can make time for your pet whenever the owner needs. I can easily crate your dog (if needed) as well as giving them some loving. I can do whatever the owner would like me to do for their dog: treats, feed them, and administer medication.
About: I have an Animal Science degree from Iowa State University, and I have worked as a Veterinary Technician Intern at a hospital. I am passionate about all animals, whether it be welfare, nutrition, training, veterinary medicine, and basic care. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, exotics (e.g. hedgehog, mouse, fish). I am very patient, kind and eager to work with animals! I currently work part to full time as a manager in retail, and I’m looking to continue my passions with companion animals while I start my career in my field. I have a fenced in backyard with minimal stairs and a patio with a pond. I have a cat and Newfoundland to keep animals company. My family pet Newfoundland, Bruce, is very kind and gentle and works great with children. I provide enriching activities and exercise daily.

Years ago one of our boxers got sick and she helped us get him healthy for our road trip back to Minnesota.

19. Emily S.
“Emily is a phenomenal person. She is hard-working, caring, empathetic, and resilient. I have seen first hand how dedicated she is to her's and other's pets. Emily and I lived together for 3 years during which time we had several pet sleepovers. Most of the caregiver responsibilities often fell on Emily which she was happy to do. She was always motivated to make sure the dogs had plenty of exercise, were fed on time, and of course, received lots of love. Emily is an animal lover and will take fantastic care of your pets and most importantly, she will be happy doing it.”
20. Abigail P.
“Abby is the nicest person in the world when it comes to people and pets. There is no one I would trust more with my pets than her. With her degree in Animal Science and doing an internship at an animal hospital she is more than qualified to be a responsible and loving pet giver.”
