Dog Walking In Spenard

“Elizabeth & HL always do a great job with our senior girl. Communication is great and they send lots of photos. It makes us feel safe leaving our girl for awhile.”

“Jacob was fantastic. My dog is not always easy to work with due to some resource guarding issues, but Jacob had the patience and kindness to meet his needs. I feel very lucky that he took care of my dog, and I will be seeking his help again in the future.”

About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.

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.

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: Hi! I’m Margot. I'm a writer, military veteran, and have over 15 years pet care experience. I will ensure your pets are safe, well-fed, happy, and comfortable, while following their routines and providing any needed care, including medications. I’ll keep you updated with regular communication and photos so you can relax while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your furry family members as my own! My schedule is flexible depending on your needs. I try to keep my schedule up to date on this app, but I'm more of a Google calendar gal :) we will find a perfect schedule regardless. Please communicate with me about all of your requirements. The more detail I know, the better service I can provide. Some pets require medicine or a specific food, please let me know. If there are any toys they like to play with, I'll be sure to incorporate engaging play-time in my visits.

“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!”

Shannon M.

“Great service!!! Trust worthy and sends pics!”

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

“So glad that Tessa could take Alfred in a midday walk while I worked. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was taken care of and wouldn’t have to wait for me if I couldn’t get away from work for a lunch time walk. Thank you so much!!!”

Ann M.

“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.”

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.

“I booked three hour long walks with Jessica for my dog, Lilo. By the second walk, Lilo recognized Jessica and absolutely loved her! Polite, on time, and great communication.”

“Ally was exactly right for our old dog Abby. She was prompt to the week long schedule and devoted for the all the paw patrols, medication, and cuddles.”

About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals over the years, including small and exotic so I am able to drop-in on your little buddies, too! 🐶🐱🐍🐰🐢🦄🐹🐸🐭🐦🐀🐠🦎 With pets of my own, I know what it is like to hire someone to care for your best friend. While no one knows your pet(s) as well as you do, I seek to understand and gather information for our time together so that they feel as secure and comfortable as possible in your absence. I accomplish this by maintaining boundaries and their schedule to help them feel more secure, and maybe even compensating while you’re away with extra fun and one-on-one attention! 🤩🥰 I pride myself on NOT being a “get in, get out” sitter. 💕 I provide detailed updates based on their schedule and provided instructions so that you feel confident in my level of care, and have peace of mind. 🌸 Safety is my number one priority ✅ and I will ensure I have adequate information prior to your departure to achieve success when booking with me. I am flexible with scheduling 🗓️ to accommodate you and your pet(s) as much as I can! Additional skills include grooming, medication administration/management, and senior/vision impaired care. I am fortunate to work a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate your lifestyle, but most importantly what’s best for your pets. 🥰 My first visit will typically be lengthier, as I am establishing the care routine and verifying that everything is in place. I maintain a checklist 📝 with core tasks based on our discussions, meet and greet, and any additional communication during the booking. For each visit, I provide thorough updates to confirm that each core task was completed as required, and in the necessary order, if applicable. I provide extra photos 📷, and if needed, take extra time to be patient with nervous or anxious pets. 🥰 My timeline is their timeline. I ask for feedback the first couple of visits in case there are any adjustments. With you being the primary owner, you are the expert and I want to ensure the best care according to you! I can also perform additional tasks at your home such as watering plants 🪴, adjusting thermostats or lighting 💡, and taking mail/packages 📦 as needed. Prior to departing, I also ensure that your pets will be safe until I return. I’m honored to be able to become a trusted person with your pet and I take it very seriously! I am highly observant of animal body language and attuned to their needs, and it only improves with time. 💞

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.
