Dog Walking Sand Lake

“Krystina was great. Ollie clearly loved her and their walk times together. She was attentive and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter.”

“We are so glad that we found Elizabeth and HL, they have been great with our dog Buster. They treat Buster as if he were their own dog, and have a great affinity for what he needs. Buster can be a stubborn dog, and when at first he didn't want to go on walks with new people, Elizabeth and HL were so patient with him and would play with him instead. It didn't take long for them to gain Buster's trust, and now he is excited when he gets to go on walks with them. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and HL to anyone.”

About: Hi there! Life long Alaskan and animal lover. I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life, and love spending time with all animals. I have a bunny of my own as well! Love taking my family dogs out, playing with them, and just spending time with them. I work part time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible with notice. I love to go on daily walks anyways, so definitely would love to bring a pup out with me as well! I will treat your pets as if they are my own because I know how special they are to you! I treat my own pets with lots of love and affection, as well as attention.

About: I’ve worked at 1 different doggy daycares/1 rescue group for over 8 years. I’m always around dogs, of different sizes, temperaments, I’m great with all dogs, even dogs that don’t like other animals. etc..I will still walk them or dog sit them at their houses (I can’t board them at my house if they can be aggressive because I have other dogs). I love dogs so spending time with them is amazing. Im free all weekend to do anything for or with your pets. On the weekdays I get off work at 2pm so anytime after that I’d love to work! I have a fully fenced yard, 2 dog friends for your pet to play and cuddle with. I also have crates if needed for your dog.

“Jacob did great walking Star and was patient with her. He put her booties on multiple times. He kept in constant contact with me since I was worried about her in the cold.”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life, and own two currently. I regularly check on friends cats and dogs when they are out of town (for the past 10 years), so I am confident in my abilities to give your pets the attention they need while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication reminders, enrichment, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I work remotely as a postdoc for UAF and my schedule can be flexible to work with yours/your pets needs! I enjoy spending time outdoors, and I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and active outings tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I have two cats and will generally not be accepting any stay-over visits at my own house. They are really friendly and love humans but other pets would be stressful for everyone!

My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to create a care plan that fits both your pet's routine and your travel schedule. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better care I can provide. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I carefully plan my days to ensure every pet receives reliable, attentive care and plenty of time for their individual needs.

I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away.

About: Hello Rover! I have spent my entire life around dogs of all breeds and have experience taking care of a wide variety of personality types! I have a 10 year old Australian Shepherd named Oliver so I am very familiar with high maintenance/active dog breeds. I'm currently taking a month long break from work before starting a new job. What better way to make some extra money in the down time than taking care of dogs? I am located close to several wooded trails as well as Kincaid park, where I frequent with my own Australian Shepherd Oliver. With such an active breed, we are out and about multiple times each day.

“Izabelle is very professional and great with our Akita.”

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! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. 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. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll 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. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.

“Katy has been great with my dog, Scruff. He needed a ton of patience starting out and she worked with him to get him used to a dog walker. He actually got a little grumpy with me one day when I stayed home sick and she didn’t come.”

About: Hello! My name is Elise! I’m from Alaska, I moved here in October. I grew up with many different animals. I’ve had many dogs, cats, as well as bunnies, horses and I’ve cared for birds. I love animals very much and I am very good at taking care of them. I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 14 but not really officially since I was 16. I’ve trained quite a few puppies and I’ve helped birth a lot of cats and dogs. I joined rover because I love animals and with just moving here I definitely wouldn’t mind a little side gig to help get me though the winter. Hope to hear from you! Thanks for reading! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

“Sarah was great. Lucy loved her and enjoyed her outings. Thanks Sarah!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. They have had all types of personalities which has helped me learn what is best for each dog. I currently have a dog with super high anxiety, so I am willing to work with similar dogs as I understand patience is necessary. I have also wanted my aunts 3 large dogs on several occasions! I love every type of dog and cannot wait to work with them! I am currently taking an online course from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available 7 days a week and can usually work around different times for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or pet care needs. Since my coursework is online, I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for and give them plenty of attention. I’m happy to help with morning, afternoon, evening, or weekend care, and I can be flexible with last-minute needs when possible. My open schedule allows me to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they’re used to. I care for pets like they’re my own by giving them attention, patience, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and anything else their pet needs. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of love and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure the home is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well.

“Brigitte is super sweet and takes great care of our pup. She was very patient with him and sends lots of great pics of our boy having fun on his walks. Thanks!”

“Tessa stands out from others, starting with her prompt communication and follow-thru. She is calm with my dogs and they look forward to seeing her weekly!”

About: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.

About: I have never met a dog or cat that I did not immediately fall in love with! I am willing to put so much time and effort into helping your pet feel comfortable with me! I know how special pets and animals are, and I ensure each pet I care for feels incredibly loved and spoiled. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, ranging from puppies and kittens, all the way to senior aged pets! I know firsthand some of the special considerations that a pet caretaker needs to consider. I am very active and love taking pets for adventures, giving them lots of stimulation, and overall helping them have a fantastic day! There is nothing I love more than play time with a dog or cat! I am fully free Friday to Sunday to give your pet all my attention! During the week, I provide care in the morning and evening. I ensure they get all attention they need with tons of exercise and play. There is nothing I like more than playing with a cat or dog and I will bring this love and attention to your pet. I will follow all safety requirements and ensure safety for your pet. I maintain safety during interaction with other pets by specifying your pets comfort before hand and monitoring the interactions closely.
