About: Growing up I have had both dogs and cats and was responsible in taking care of both. I carried the skills I learned as I left for college and looked after fellow students and friends pets. Not just watching over their beloved animals, feeding and playing with them, but also teaching them new tricks of the owners were okay with it. Currently and until May I will have classes for 1 hour everyday in the afternoon Mon through Thursdays. Other than that I will be available to pet sit. Currently I do not have a busy schedule so I am able to watch and care for your pets for an extended period of time.
“Absolutely fantastic! Stefanie kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures. The zoo loved her- she even got our shy kitty to come out for her! Will definitely use again and HIGHLY recommend!!”
“As usual, Rachael went above and beyond with my needy little ones. She stayed at the house this time and also took care of my plants. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Thank you Rachael!”
“The extra effort and time Kirsten puts in to each visit means so much! She leaves great detailed notes and I love reading all the ‘pupdates!’ I feel so comfortable leaving my Denali in her hands!”
“Wouldn't trust anyone else with our four cats. Brandon's daily drop-ins come with pictures and written insight on how the cats are doing and what he did during the drop in. Brandon is the go-to sitter for your animals, guaranteed.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every breed from puppy to senior since I was 13. I've been relied on to walk, feed, train and provide oral medicine. I'm in college part time so I am available to house sit and spend time with your pets do drop in and walks in the mid mornings and early afternoon. I can take your pets for walks when you need and stay in home with them to give them lots of love, ensure they are fed or given medicine on time. I have crating experience if your pet needs to be crated. If you have a park your pet enjoys I can take them there and let them have fun as well.
About: I've been providing pet sitting for decades for all kinds of animals of many species. Both pets and non-pets. Booking me means I will research your pets breed and go over breed specific needs with you at the meet and greet, as well as their personality based needs. I currently have rabbits and used to have dogs, and my bestie's household has dogs and a tortoise. I have zero problems with taking care of plants or pet related chore. I have a portable carpet shampooer to clean up any messes that might happen. Just show me what the pets need for nourishment and enrichment and play, and I can take it from there. I'm also willing to do complex medical for pets. If you want me to sit for extra animals not listed, I will ask for more (5-20) per animal depending on level of care needed. I will walk any animal that wants to be walked. Species does not matter. You can meet me and my pets before hiring me and you can always cancel, no problem. I'm willing to do payment plans if you need to leave town with little notice. I'm willing to travel outside the Anchorage bowl, too, as far out as Talkeetna if you’re willing with work with me on gas. Ademas de mi experiencia, tambien soy Colombiana y puedo hablar español. 我说一点汉语和读中文。Avec je parlez et lis aussi un pue le français. Sto meglio italiano. I'm fluent in Spanish and I can speak/read Mandarin Chinese, French, and Italian. Language is no barrier. I’m also happy to send pics, video clips, and even set up zoom/facetime for pets during your trip. I work full time but my mornings, evenings, and weekends are flexible. My office is also pet friendly to an extent so pets with their own enclosures are welcome to come with me to work. I can provide care during mornings, lunch breaks, after work, and weekends. My pets are free range most of the time so there's playmates. I'm happy to temporarily board animals in my home so long as they have their own enclosure OR if they are friendly with my pets. I'm happy to send pictures and video to keep you up to date on your pet. Walks (for species that like walks), play time, toys, music enrichment, games, etc. I'm very strong and I'm good with animals that have nervous behaviours. I've also cared for newborn puppies, rabbits, and kittens and can provide the round the clock care for new born pets that they need by keeping them with me at all times.
“Chelsey is really great with our girls. When we return home our cats are in good spirits and are unstressed. Chelsey plays with them and gives great updates with adorable pics. She is very respectful and trustworthy and lets us know vital information in real time. She is great!”
