About: While I’ve been a lifelong dog owner, I’ve always had a great connection with dogs. Our family English Bulldog, Koa, we had till he was 14 years old and loved and lived life to his fullest. I currently don't have a dog, just a cat with my boyfriend (Jake). My commitment as a gym/fitness owner/coach, and currently in a bodybuilding prep, is why I am not getting a dog of my own but since I am needing to get in my daily steps, I figured that I can get steps in and motivation through dog walking and of course the investment from you! While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m familiar with basic commands, leash manners, crate routines, and positive reinforcement. I’ve handled dogs from 5 lbs to over 100 lbs and love learning their personalities. Whether your pup is a tiny lap dog or a strong puller, I’m comfortable and confident. Friends and clients trust me because I’m reliable, attentive, and always make safety my top priority. I understand how important it is to leave your dog in good hands, and I’m here to provide peace of mind and top-notch care. Items we provide: 6-passenger van where we can transport dogs Extra Leash Dog Poop Bags Water / Water Bowls Treats (on approval by owner(s)) Pup Cups at coffee stops (on approval by owner(s)) While I have a very flexible schedule, I do like to have advanced / structured scheduling either before the new week or for the month, if at all possible. If you happen to need me on Saturday or Sunday, just let me know and I can check my schedule. In my own home (which I share with my boyfriend Jake), I have a 8-month old rescue tabby cat (Sage) who is pretty self sufficient but I love keeping her active with cat tree and toys. I keep her litter box cleaned daily. This is my first cat since being allergic but I’m no longer and it’s been great to be around other cats. My boyfriend and I live active lives so we have chosen not to have a dog of our own at this time which makes our time for you just as nice. I am very familiar with the walking trails in the municipality and carry a bear spray so I am very bear and moose aware. Ensuring your pet(s) are leashed appropriately is also important. I walk my best friends two black labs, hike with another friend who has (3) labs, and I own a gym where dogs are invited. I love to stay healthy and active as I like to keep the dogs and pets im around. Routine is important to both Jake and I. We are both registered with Rover and while I am the main point of contact, rest assure that if I am unable to fulfill my responsibilities, I want to make sure that your pet(s) are not impacted.

“Erica agreed to help me out on relatively short notice, walking my dog Percy while I was out of town, and Percy's other parent was at work for 11 hours/day. It was so great to get the Rover cards she sent, with the cutest photos (Erica has a knack)! The peace of mind this gave me while I was out of town was priceless. I would love to have Erica care for Percy again anytime.”

“Wonderful dog walker! I have a big dog and Mandy has handled her so well. She always showed up as planned and went above and beyond. I would rebook with Mandy again and again!”

Elizabeth S.

“Kirsten is wonderful, she came to do a meet and greet and it was clear the dogs both liked her (and one of my dogs is picky). She walked and played with them, and sent lots of great pictures. Will be using her regularly.”

Charlotte L.

“Reliable, timely and communicative. Highly recommend!”

“Alex is great. We have had a few dog walkers previously and she is the best! She gives us great updates on our furbaby, lots of pictures and never cuts the walks short. We have a Chihuahua mix that doesn't always take to new people well to the point that he wouldn't even walk with some of our previous dog walkers. Not a problem with Alex.”

Jennifer P.

“Eric was able to walk Tugboat on short notice. So helpful and kind. I appreciated the help. Eric also was able to get Tugboat to not be interested in pulling. Can't thank Eric enough. Tugboat was always excited to see Eric and knew the time was coming. Can't recommend Eric enough.”

Harlyn A.

“Outstanding communication and great pictures from Pippa's walks. We will absolutely work with Gabi again.”

Josh L.

“Fast & clear communication. I knew my boy was in good company. Will book again.”

Rachael C.

“My Bear loves Holly! She has always arrived on time and always sends pictures of their walks. I needed her once last minute and she accepted my request. Holly truly is the best and I appreciate her more than she knows!”

About: I am flexible and accommodating. Our family owns a 3-year-old golden doodle and I am often helping friends and neighbors with their pets. I am accustomed to small pets and large pets. I have experience taking care of older dogs with mobility challenges, dietary restrictions and administering medication. I am an active outdoor person and love to take dogs on walks, runs and hikes. I am willing to even care for farm animals. I am a homeschooling mom, therefore it is very easy for me to be flexible and accommodate variety of schedules. Since I already own a dog, my lifestyle already accommodates pet care. I am currently mostly looking to care for pets at their own home. I follow the owners directions/instructions which ensures that their pets are cared for in safe and accustomed manner.

About: Aside from being raised with cats and dogs and everything in between I have had the great opportunity of working as a pack leader at a doggy day care- a job that I thoroughly enjoyed and did well in. I was able to learn skills ranging from enriching a dogs life through play time, correcting and rewarding behavior, and keeping a safe environment that was shared with multiple dogs. I currently have a lot of free time with my current job and have been wanting to fill this time with something that I enjoy. I am most available in the early mornings and later evenings and completely free Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Please refer to this schedule below!! Only free Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturday all day On days, not listed only free after 7 PM Currently I only have a cat who is roughly 2 1/2 years old. My home is filled with cat towers and couple cat trees and hideaways to make sure she lives an interesting life. I give her lots of play time and make sure she is well taken care of and loved always! I would do the same for any dog and cat left in my care.

“Stefanie was absolutely amazing with our two mutts. One of them is more mellow and the other is a very feisty young puppy, so it can be interesting walking them both. She quickly picked up on their different temperaments and approached them accordingly. She texted adorable updates and pictures for each walk. She was also so considerate she even offered to clean up the floor a bit since the walks were very muddy. Not only is she extremely reliable, she went above and beyond offering to help since we had a water leak but were out of state. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

About: I will treat your pets like I do my own. I have two cats and a dog that are spoiled rotten, and I know how tough it is to find quality pet care. I will follow all directions and make sure your pet(s) is happy and well taken care of. I am also very respectful of your home. I am retired and available most days. I will always do my best to work with your schedule. Taking care of pets is a joy for me! I will always respect your home. I’m there for the sole purpose of taking care of your pet. If they make a mess, I will be sure to clean it. When I leave, I’ll be sure your pet is happy and well taken care of.

“Izzy was very sweet, prompt and communicative with pics and messages - one of my pups was a sad baby and wouldn’t come out of hiding to go walk (not Izzy’s fault at all!) but the other pup was thrilled to be out and about with her. Will book with her again!”

About: Hello, I’m Alyssa Kristiansen I reside in Anchorage, Alaska. I started dog walking and dog sitting when I was 12. I worked at doggy day care and got certified as canine first aid. Overall I love taking care of dogs and puppy’s when you are out at work or as well as vacation etc! I do this full time so I have a wide range of availability. I come in throughout the day to make sure your dog is well walked and hydrated When I take care of your dog, I make sure that they are safe by carrying bear spray on our walks. I always ask if they behave well around other dogs when I take them to the dog park or on the trails.

“Jennifer is so attentive to details and has great communication! She has come to walk our dog briar and let her out to use the restroom and sends me the cutest rover cards of briar! She is so sweet and we will keep coming back to her!”
