Dog Walking in Russian Jack Park, Anchorage, AK

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further!

From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start.

About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.

“Alejandra took excellent care of my dog Finn while I was on a 2 week long trip. Communication was excellent and I genuinely felt like she enjoyed spending time with Finn. Don’t hesitate to book Alejandra for whatever pet care needs you have - dog walking, house sitting, etc. She is very reliable and professional.”

“First time using this service and was super happy with the results! Our boy was nervous at first and it was our first time being away from him. Come the second visit, he was ready to go and happy to see Lindsey! Thanks so much ☺️”

“Being new to the valley, we were so blessed to have found Jen. She’s walks our dog Dakoda when my partner and I work and we are going to continue to have her walk him, and also dog sit when needed. Jen is quick with her responses, super personable, knowledgeable about all breeds, and the best of all updates and sends pics of her adventures. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

“Olga did a great job walking my dog, Jenny on short notice. I would use her again without hesitation. She was always right on time, sent lots of photos and also checked to make sure Jenny's water bowl was full.”

About: Hi, I’m Shelby! I’m 25, an Army wife, and a medical lab scientist with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 years old and added a cat to the family when I was 14, so I’ve spent most of my life caring for pets of all personalities and sizes, especially having a chihuahua mix for most of my life and then adding a Great Pyrenees mix to our family recently. Being reliable and detail-oriented comes naturally with my background, and I bring that same care and dedication to every pet I meet. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat each furry friend as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! 🐾 I currently am a PRN med lab scientist, so I only work 29 hours a week which is Monday, Wednesday-Friday from 2:45-10:15 so I am able to do weekend, morning, and midday walks and drop ins. House sitting I’m open due to my job being flexible and I don’t mind taking care of your pets before and after work! In my home we care for our pets just like any other family member because they are our family. I make sure to give my dog plenty of walks as well as potty breaks because he loves the outdoors. He also needs much attention because he was deprived of belly rubs for a long time before he became part of our family, so now we make sure to give him all the love and attention he needs! With my cat she really loves to be by herself and take naps but when she’s hungry… she’ll definitely let us know! So I always give her her favorite food and then usually she’s more than willing to let me cuddle her or she’ll sit of my lap purring as we watch TV or I’m reading a book. If you are interested in hiring me for house sitting we can discuss if you’d prefer me to stay the night or just come and check in, I don’t mind either!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over two years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I provide reliable walks, attentive feeding, playtime, and calm, loving care during sitting. I treat every dog like my own and focus on safety, routine, and happy fur babies I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I regularly feed, walk, and take my roommate’s pets out for potty breaks when she’s at work or out of town, so I’m comfortable sticking to routines and providing consistent care. I provide a safe, calm environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. My roommate’s two friendly dogs may be around at times, but are always supervised and very well behaved. I monitor all interactions carefully, can separate dogs when needed, and can crate dogs upon request. Safety, cleanliness, and clear communication are always my main priorities.

About: Semi-retired licensed veterinary technician with 30 years of experience. Available for anything from basic walks, pet sitting, boarding in my home up to compassionate hospice care. I will happily and gladly work around pretty much any schedule. You just let me know what your requirements are and I can usually accommodate them. My home is ready to spoil any pet. I'm currently pet less at the moment. My last 4-legged baby was an English bulldog. He was a special needs kiddo, so I'm used having to give medications on a regular schedule.

“Loren is awesome!! She was so great about sending photos and videos of my pup while she was out walking her. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have loved most animals for as long as I can remember. I am very compassionate towards animals and feel love and concern when I see a lost or unloved animal. I have pet and house sat for two families who came back to me multiple times. I am always willing to adjust my usual routine to make the owners and their furry family members comfortable. I sat for a friend once who requested that I keep their large, fluffy husky mix in my car whenever I left the house. My priority will always be keeping your furbabies happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable. Last, but certainly not least, I have two dogs of my own who I treat as if they were my own children. I am always thinking of how I would want other humans to treat them when I decide how to work with someone else's pets. During the summer, my pet care will be my highest priority. During the school year (mid August through late December and mid January through late May) I work as a teaching assistant and must prioritize that but I would endeavor to schedule all non-work related activities around the needs of the pet and their family. As I have two dogs of my own neither of which get along well with other dogs, I would not be able to care for another pet in my own home, but I am always willing to stay in another home if pets require constant supervision. I would always follow any instructions regarding pet care given me by the owners. If clear instructions are not given to me, I will ask questions and I will simply do my best to make the pet comfortable and not to change their routine more than absolutely necessary.

“Nella loves dogs and we could tell she gave our dogs a lot of love and attention! She was quick to reply and easy to communicate with. We will use Nella again!”

About: Ive lived with and taken care of animals all my life, and love taking care of and playing with them.I always strive to make sure they get lots of pets and love.❤️ I can typically care for your animals anytime. I can only really work with animals because I can't deal with large crowds of people 5 or more due to anxiety , and I typically get along better with animals.❤️ I strive to make sure any and all of your pet's dietary, exercise , and loving needs are met to the best of my capabilities😊

“Jakob and Ida sent text and photos when walking our 2 dogs and appreciated their communication with us. Looking forward to having them care for our dogs again.”

About: I offer in-home boarding with a fully fenced yard and a flexible schedule for consistent walks and attention. I foster dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and helping them settle in. I’m active and outside often, but I also keep things calm and structured depending on what your dog needs. Clear communication, regular updates, and a safe, steady environment. I offer dog walking Monday through Friday with a flexible daytime schedule that allows for consistent, unrushed walks. I provide in-home boarding seven days a week, including weekends. Your dog will have access to a fully fenced yard, regular exercise, and a structured but relaxed home environment. If you have specific timing needs during the week, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to coordinate when possible. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside. Indoors, I keep a clean, organized environment and remove any items that could be chewed or ingested. Because I foster, I’m used to gradual introductions, monitoring behavior, and helping dogs settle in safely. I maintain consistent routines, separate dogs when needed, and never leave unfamiliar dogs unattended together. I also follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, and crate use. Clear communication and proactive supervision are important to me.

About: I have helped out friends by watching their dogs for the past few years and now have a dog of my own, so feel confident in dog sitting for others! I am a nurse so have multiple consecutive days off so am able to provide lots of exercise. I love taking dogs out for adventures and their company around the house. I have a large fenced back yard and live close to trails for easy access to activities. My dog, Finn, is a lab husky village mix and loves the company of others! We are both happy to welcome other dogs or cats into our home or go out on walks/adventures! On my days off I like to get outside for exercise with my dog, Finn, so will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I can also do neighborhood walks or go to the dog park! I have a fenced backyard so can offer frequent potty breaks. I will ensure your dog is well cared for and listen to any of your specific needs or requests. I will closely monitor any interactions with other dogs, pets, and wildlife.
