Doggy Day Care In Turnagain

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.

“Alex is great! I can tell my dog enjoys her time there because she was a little TOO excited on the second day. Alex takes lots of great pics and pays attention to my dog's behavior throughout the day. It's also nice that she provides a walk even though there's plenty of space to run around in her yard. Thank you!”

About: My love of animals is obvious when I interact with them. I have had dogs for most of my adult life. I have senior and puppy dog experience. I am happy to chill with a senior who needs more low key interaction or work on potty training or whatever command(s) your puppy is working on. I have great working knowledge of beginning stress behaviors in dogs, and can therefore act appropriately to get them to a comfortable place away from the threat. Or just wear your puppy out while you’re at work. I am extremely versatile and want to work with you so that your animal is not only comfortable, but hopefully finds a friend in me. Your animal’s safety is my top priority, and then of course fun. I take on the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I am not currently working right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do have other obligations, but my schedule is probably more flexible and open than many sitters. In my home I have two kids, 3 and 9 that have been raised around multiple dogs their entire lives. I wouldn’t bring my children into a client’s home, but they may be in my home- more or less depending on the week. My pup is crate trained, but is allowed on furniture and sleeps with us every night. When we lost our seniors pretty close together my eldest took it rough, (me too). Lucy, now 2 has been a joy to play with and train. She knows many commands and tricks. I am happy to do as little as food and water with a pat on the head, to walks, to hanging out with doggos while you’re working and happy to help if you’re out of town. I can do recurring or one time. My schedule is open and many Alaskans travel for work and play. I think my availability is a great way for us to work out possibly complicated routines. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Rogue loved his stays at Crystals house for doggy day care. She was very responsive, had great communication, provided us with updates and photos throughout the day. He loved playing with the other dogs. The second day we dropped him off he was running up to Crystal like he had a new best friend. Highly recommend and will be using her as a sitter in the future.”

About: Im from Ketchikan AK but I live in Anchorage AK. I do have a fenced backyard where they can roam and play. I love playing with dogs and hanging out with the cats! I’ll always treat your buddy as if their my buddy! I'm currently in between jobs I mostly stay at home all day drawing or working on art. I mostly just do side gigs like this and I don't get that many so I have a lot of free time. If there's other dogs I let them play but if it's just use I usually always keep them around me and play with them if they have the energy and lay down and chill with them if there tired. I take em out for potty breaks/walks every 1-2 hours and feed them twice a day.

“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for about 10 years, in most recent years two of my own:) My dogs need more canine friends and I think are a little sick of just playing with each other! I work 3 days a week as a RN. My partner, Tyler, works from home, so someone will always be available to spend time with your pup. I have a big fenced yard and two wonderfully playful and active dogs who can’t wait to have new friends. We have a doggie door so even if someone steps out of the house for a period of time the dogs will always have access to outside. We usually go on a walk/hike/ski everyday either early morning or evening or both!

“I have a intact wolfhound puppy. With all the trouble that entails, Becky handled it beautifully. The request was at the last minute with early I. The morning drop offs on a weekend, she gave him walks, sent me pictures, and he always came home happy and worn out. I would highly recommend Becky to my friends and family”

“Sandra is the best. She is very nice and has been very understanding/flexible with my work hours as a nurse. Henry loves going to her house and comes home exhausted from playing.”

Maribeth M.

“Aubrie and hubby were so lovely with our puppy! They were very flexible and accomodating when I had some pick up drama. Am booking again this week. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent the last 5 years caring for animals of all kinds, and I truly love what I do! I’ve raised a litter of kittens and their mom, helped my senior dog give birth, and cared for 5 sweet pups as they grew. I’ve also looked after senior dogs who needed extra love and attention. On top of that, I’ve given plenty of baths—so I’m used to all the splashes and wiggles that come with it! I currently have two dogs of my own—one is 8 and the other is 1—so I understand both the playful puppy stage and the calm, older years. Every pet I meet is treated like family. ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 2-month-old baby, and I have a sitter to help so I can give pets my full attention. My flexible schedule lets me provide plenty of walks, playtime, and love throughout the day. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! 🐶🐾 Safety and comfort always come first in my care. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and rest. I always keep a close eye on pets, follow any specific routines or instructions, and treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide gentle care, constant attention, and a safe, happy space where your pet feels at home. 🐾❤️

About: Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! I have recently lost my 17 yr old chihuahua so looking to have some more dog love in my life right now. Sincerely, Jackie I have a very flexible job as a vending machine owner/operator so I have lots of time to give love and walks to your fur baby! I like to keep pups stimulated with a variety of activities involving exercise, games and love. I enjoy creating fun games for them to do around the house!
