House Sitting Spenard

“Catherine took excellent care of my dogs and cat while we were away camping. She kept me updated often and even sent me pics of them enjoying their time with her in our home. I will absolutely use Catherine again. She did a wonderful job.”

“Kerry is awesome--thoughtful, conscientious, tidy, and compassionate. She has done an awesome job (multiple times) with my high-maintenance pup!”

“Freya was excellent with our spoiled dogs. Older boxer needs help getting up and down steps to go out, our middle aged german shepherd needs exercise daily by ball throwing in the back yard…they were raised on acrerage, not very socialized and we now live in town near a busy street so always fear they’ll take off chasing someone… (cuz they’re not leash dogs). The boys immediately liked her which sealed the deal when they met. She left our house perfect and we highly recommend her for your beloved pets.”

“Natalie is a wonderful house and pet caregiver. She took great care of our animals and was communicative and conscientious. We are already trying to rebook her for our next trip out of town.”

About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.

“We had Jakob and Ida dog/housesit for a few days and was pleased with their service. Jakob kept me informed and as promised dogs were tired from their walk when we got home. Plan to continue to use them for dog walking as well as house sitting services.”

“I have a difficult time with leaving my animals behind when I travel but she did a great job and my animals did great with her, especially my dog. More than happy to have her as a sitter again!”

Sarah R.

“Sydney was great about sending me pictures and updates every morning and evening. It made me so happy to see my pups cuddling with Sydney and gave me a lot of comfort while I was away! The house looked great when I got back and my pups was healthy and happy :)”

“Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!”

Rochelle H.

“Karina was absolutely wonderful!! She sent daily updates, and was really great with all our animals. We have a picky dog who’s not much of a people dog, but he fell in love with her instantly.”

Janell J.

“I had a long trip out of state over the holidays planned, and I was worried about leaving my fur babies for so long. But I was really grateful to have had someone there with the animals who was clearly so caring and attentive. Her communication was great, very friendly, and the animals clearly loved her! Got regular pictures so I knew they were in good shape and happy. Thank you thank you thank you!”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, and have pet-sat for family and friends since I was 13. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, and would be happy to meet yours! Available before and after a 9-5 schedule. Very few conflicts on weekends. Would love to spend some quality time with your pet, or take them on a little adventure! I love taking pets for walks or hanging out in their own homes, wherever they’re most comfortable. I’m perfectly happy being both active and calm with your pets.

About: Hi, I'm Audrey! I've been pet sitting for several years, and I love animals, especially dogs. In the summer I work as a Girl Scout camp counselor, so I definitely have experience wrangling large groups of small chaotic mammals! I have babysat everything from puppies to senior dogs, in all shapes and sizes, and even other animals like guinea pigs. I would love to hang out with your animals and give them lots of love and kisses! I'm currently a biology major at UAA, so I have classes Monday through Thursday. All of my classes are in the late morning and afternoon, so I will be at home with your animals in the mornings and evenings. I love to just hang out with animals! I usually spend a lot of time on the couch studying or reading with client animals next to (or on top of) me. I have no issues with animals sleeping in the same bed as me. My car is dog-proofed if you want me to take your dog(s) on a field trip to the dog park or their favorite walking trail. I am also quite good with plants, so I can take care of those for you at no extra charge.

“Sarah did a great job of taking care of my pup and house. The pup was happy and heathy at the end of Sarah’s stay and the house was very tidy. I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone needing a sitter!”

“Bradley took great care of our two dogs and house. He’s a great communicator and quick to respond. He also saved us by staying another night due to unexpected travel delays. The dogs had a lot of fun with him. Would highly recommend!”

Camryn R.

“Zena took care of our fur babies (two dogs and one cat) and our house while we were out of town for about a week. She sent us pictures and gave us updates on how everything was going, so we felt good knowing they were all being well cared for. We would definitely recommend her and hope to book with her again in the future!”

Mara S.

“We are so grateful that Sarah took such good care of our house and cats while we were away for two weeks. She sent us pictures each night, and cleaned up the house before we got home. It was nice knowing she was taking care of everything so we could enjoy vacation!”

“Madeleine did a wonderful job house sitting for a weekend and took amazing care of my dogs! She is reliable, easy to communicate with, and left my house super tidy. She went above and beyond to help me out when my flight was delayed unexpectedly.”

Paige W.

“Bonsai had the best time with Maya! She took care of him so well and it was amazing to come home after two weeks away to such a happy dog and a clean home. I really appreciated that Maya got Bonsai out on the trails and gave him so much care and attention. We also appreciated the photo updates so the kids could see that he was happy and taken care of. Thank you so much Maya!”
