“Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.”

“Olga was an excellent cat sitter (drop in). I received pictures of the cat and reports daily, I could tell my usually shy cat loved her. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge; she was extremely reliable and competent.”

“Very impressed with Erica! She is timely, conscientious, and reliable. She is experienced with positive reinforcement training, which has been perfect consistency for my puppy-in-training! Will continue to book her in the future.”

“Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and I truly love spending time with animals! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, and check in on their pets, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that means energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or extra care for shy or older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently going to Alaska Pacific University, and working part-time at the gym. I am able to stop in, or stay the night! I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m always respectful of your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. I give lots of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”

“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”

“Natalie was amazing! She was so kind and flexible with our plans. She took wonderful care of our pet and supplied terrific pet photos from her visits. Thank you, Natalie!!”


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.

“Maleah is very consistent, sweet, responsible, great communication and cares for my little elder chihuahua like her own! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a consistent reliable dog walker :)”

“Loren is such a big help checking in on Gary on unexpected days of work I haven’t planned out. She does a wonderful job and Gary sure seems to love hanging out with her!”

“Alejandra was wonderful to my girls. This is the second time she was taken care of Ally and Lucy. She is dependable and loving to the girls. I couldn't ask for someone better to look after them while we were out of town. Pictures were great and she made it easy to go on vacation and not worry about our fur babies while enjoying time with my human children lol. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Whitney went above and beyond taking care of our dog and giving her the best care when we were out of town. I would recommend Whitney to anyone looking for amazing pet care.”

“Shelby was superb. She took care of everything we needed and was very responsive always. She sent us amazing pics of our Cat and videos of him being loved. Definitely recommending her. Thanks Shelby!!”

About: I truly enjoy bonding and taking care of our little best friends . I have patience and experience providing care for animals throughout my life. I am currently at working full time , my work is done 50% remote and I have a flexible in office schedule that allows me to come and go as I need ; this allows me the opportunities to provide consistent care . I take the time to individualize care based of what your animal needs , I currently do not have any animals of my own residing in my home which has been a positive when boarding doggos that need there own space .

About: I grew up having and takin care of pets. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs (can't board pets!). I love animals and will do anything to keep them safe and happy! I can work with puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, even senior dogs and cats. I enjoy relaxing or playing with a pet and creating that special bond with them because having a connection with an animal can feel really special and it's eye-opening. I can pet sit in your home Sun-Thurs. On Mondays and Thursdays, I do have classes to attend from 3:30-6:30 so I will be unavailable during those times. I'd like to be full-time pet sitter at this moment :). I cannot have pets come to my home since I am living with family, we have our own pets and we don't want to risk any conflicts or issues. During the weekends (Fri-Sun) I’m usually at home to study, babysit my little cousins and my volunteer at the local cat shelter. I make sure doors and windows, anything, are locked so that pets don't escape. They tend to be curious of the outside world and would want to explore it however they can be eaten or ran over by a car and I'd hate to break that sad news to the fur baby's parents. I also make sure no tiny, swallow-able objects are on the ground so that pets don't accidentally eat it and potentially harm their insides. I also approach in a slow, calming manner so that the pet can trust and start building interest in me.
“Lauren is a great person to drop in. She is friendly, easy going and reliable. She showed up on time for our 2 cats and left the home clean and smelling good. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area and will be booking again soon!”

Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.

Brianne provided exceptional care for my dogs during her drop-in visits. She is so kind and caring, reliable, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. My dogs get along with her so well and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to check in on their pets!

Meghan watched our two cats for a week and I could not recommend her enough! She took the time to write cute, witty updates and took plenty of photos (per my request). She was wonderful working with my extremely shy cat and had him running up to greet her when most sitters never see him the whole time. Meghan is reliable, friendly and went above and beyond gaining our cat‘s trust. I’m so happy I found someone who made traveling a little less stressful!
