Dog Walking in South Addition, Anchorage, AK

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for dogs who may be reactive or selective around other animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when your dog requires extra awareness and responsibility. I’m attentive, proactive, and committed to keeping every dog in my care safe by avoiding risky situations and managing walks and interactions thoughtfully. I also grew up in a dog-loving household with four or more dogs at any given time. Our home was the go-to place for family and friends to leave their dogs while traveling or working, and at times we even cared for entire litters of puppies. Because of this, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work from home on freelance engineering design projects, and my own home improvement projects. This means I have a heaps of availability to pay attention to your pet! I am an active individual that recently moved to Anchorage, I love walking with dogs to explore neighborhoods and get exercise. I also have a yard at my home, which is unfenced, and I look forward to romping around with leashed dogs. Regarding situations where dogs stay at my house, I currently have two young cats which any visiting dogs will have to be okay with. Because my house has two levels, I do have the ability to block the stairway and provide my cats with a sanctuary if the cats get tired of dog games.

“Ileah is great with our dogs, we have 2 Australian shepherds that are high energy, they respond well to her and she keeps good control over them. She is punctual, calm, responds quickly and is professional.”

“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.”

“Iman was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate my request to walk my sweet Koa last minute. Before the walk, she took the time to visit us and ask specific questions about my pup’s likes and dislikes. It was incredibly reassuring, and I am incredibly grateful for her help!”

“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!”

About: Active dog owner, we like to get out to touch grass. She’s a sniffer and the world is her toy. Long walks in town or out on trails. Work a week on, a week off in healthcare. Like to take my dog out on long walks through town, in a new park, or out on a trails. Message me for more availability if your pet can manage late evening, overnight shifts (10-12 hrs). I have a 4 yr old rescue dog myself. We’ve been traveling in healthcare for over a year. She’s crate trained but hardly needed, she’s chill during my work days on a couch and she’s quiet.

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.

“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!”

“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.”

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.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and love them all! I strive to provide care that is comparable to you being there yourself. I feel that dogs need a caregiver that loves the dog as if they were their own, and I feel that I am that caregiver. I have a big heart and strong passion for dogs and I pride myself on being able to provide the best care for them. I find myself to be a very open communicator. My availability is flexible. I am available most days, as well as weekends, as early as 5am, (or as late as 9pm) dependent on your needs. During a typical day, I will ensure your dog is exercised, and has lots of fun. I love going to parks/dog parks and allowing the dogs to discover new smells. I would also love to provide more vigorous walks, like hiking or going on longer walking trails. It all varies with what your dog will need. I have a ton of flexibility throughout the week & am happy to be there for you & your pets at an hours notice. I have a 7 year old, and we love getting outside, so fitting your pet-care into our daily schedule will be super easy and fun for us! I make sure to cater to my clients needs, whether it is in my home, or my clients home. I ensure I have care instructions for your pet, as each client is unique. I want to make sure everyone is comfortable and I ail do my best to provide a safe and caring environment by putting my clients needs as top priority.

About: Growing up with a dog, a daily dog walk has been a part of my routine as long as I can remember. Since moving to Alaska 7 years ago, I got my best adventure buddy, Bird (a golden retriever) who has helped me explore Alaska from Sitka to Fairbanks to Anchorage. I have experience watching senior dogs that require medication, as well as active sled dogs that needed lots of exercise in the winter. My dog Bird has gotten used to every dog she's met once given time to adjust, and would love some dog friends in town. I also have a lot of experience housesitting, especially during Alaska winters when driveways need shoveled. I currently work a flexible fellowship that allows me to work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. While I go to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my hours can be flexible to for pets that need more care. I am around during the weekends, usually I go for a hike so pets are welcome to join in the fun. Most my experience has revolved around going to clients home during pet sitting. I am open to taking dogs in my car to drive to hikes or parks around town.

About: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, though twice a week i work from home. But I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! As a travel designer, a portion of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. Most of my planning, emails, and itinerary work can be done from my laptop, so I’m able to be present with pets throughout the day while still meeting my work responsibilities. I believe the most crucial aspect is the communication between the pet owner and the sitter. I am committed to meeting all expectations and going above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the pet.

“Eric did a wonderful job walking our pups! He was on time, we got pics of them out on their walk and had 2 happy pup faces when they got home! Thank you Eric!”
