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.

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.

“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.”

Cherie L.

“Rachel was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She responded quickly to messages, maintained my (spoiled) cat’s specific routine, left the house spotless, and I returned to a happy relaxed cat.”

Patricia T.

“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.”

Andrea K.

“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.

“Sydney was great with my dogs. One of them has behavioral issues and can be difficult until she warms up to people. The other is a senior dog who requires special care. Sydney was patient with them both and they were healthy and happy when I got home. I would absolutely rebook Sydney.”

Laura S.

“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.

“Izabelle was great! She clearly loves animals and seemed very comfortable caring for my older dog, which put me at ease. She communicated clearly and sent me pictures of my pup along the way. I felt safe having her watch my home as well. Would definitely work with Izzy again. :)”

Brooke I.

“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: 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.

“Bobby was an excellent house/cat sitter while we were away on vacation. She was very good at communicating. She provided updates throughout our trip and sent pictures of our fur baby. We will definitely hire her again!”

Maggie V.

“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!”
