Thanks Lindsey from the bottom of our hearts♥️”

About: Hello, Caitlyn T. and Harrison S. here! Much of our life revolves around our sweet Alaskan Husky, Crosby, and we'd love to add your pup to the pack while you're away. We both have extensive experience pet sitting - from horses to cats and dogs - and would love to help our community with the space and time we currently have available. About Us: I, Caitlyn, work from home so I can be with your pup all day! We have a dog door to a fenced in (sunny!) backyard, so when we're away, the pups still have access to the yard. We get in morning and afternoon leashed neighborhood sniff-walks, then do longer off-leash walks in the evenings. Harrison works at a bakery in town, but equally caretakes in the evenings and on Sundays and Mondays. As a pet parent myself, having two people involved in the care of my pet when I'm away is comforting, so we're happy to provide that to others! About Crosby: Crosby is a 13-year-old Alaskan Husky/Shephard mix who didn't make the cut for his dog sled team as a puppy, then spent his early years on a farm in Talkeenta before joining our family 9 years ago. He absolutely loves other dogs and reads them well. If they want to play, he'll play, if they want to be left alone, he'll leave them alone. He grew up around puppies, so he is also very good at setting and holding appropriate boundaries with dogs who are still learning. Overall, he has a very quiet, soft demeaner at home but is the most confident, bouncy dog at the park. He still has a lot of energy and in his older years, we just want him to have as much dog-companionship as possible. Your Dog: A good fit for our home would be a dog that is friendly with other dogs, is not food/toy aggressive, can be independent in the house for 1-3 hours at a time, and would not dig under or jump the 4' fence or dig in our gardens. We look forward to chatting more and meeting your pup! 😊 I, Caitlyn, work from home so I can be with your pup all day! We have a dog door to a fenced in (sunny!) backyard, so when we're away, the pups still have access to the yard. We get in morning and afternoon leashed neighborhood sniff-walks, then do longer off-leash walks in the evenings. Harrison works at a bakery in town, but equally caretakes in the evenings and on Sundays and Mondays. As a pet parent myself, having two people involved in the care of my pet when I'm away is comforting, so we're happy to provide that to others! We have a dog door with a fenced in backyard for the dogs to enjoy 24/7. We're always caring for our own pet and we'd be happy to extend that same love and car to your pet as well.

“Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)”
“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!!”
“Shelley was great with my cats! I liked getting daily updates and pictures and it was nice knowing they were well cared-for while I was out of town. She will always be my first choice for pet sitting when I travel!”
“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.”
“Izabelle took great care of my cats, and also did a couple of things around the house that made coming home more pleasant. She let the cats, who can be a bit nervous around new people, take their time getting to know her and made clear progress with them every day. By all measures, they seemed to have a great week!”
“Lauren has been very communicative since the moment I reached out. I did not get a chance to meet her before her drop in but knew from talking with her she would take care of our kitties. She did not disappoint! She sent lots of pictures and they looked happy and at peace. She followed the instructions I sent for care leaving me with peace of mind. Will be reaching out again when I need a drop in!”
About: Had 2 siamese back in the day and boy were they loud at times but faithful friends and beautiful animals. Rescued a stray in 2010 and come to find out she had hidden 5 kittens, they all ended up staying except one which went to a friend. We named them after the 4 seasons (including Fall and Autumn to give us 5 names). The mom we called Polly. Big fluffy mama cat. There’s only one left now but they all lived good long lives. My ex has the remaining one now.
“Alex did daily stop in visits for our two bunnies while we were out of town and did a great job - very communicative and conscientious. And very willing to do extra things like bring in our mail and put our garbage bin out to the curb. I definitely trust her with my pets and we would definitely will hire her again :)”
“Alex did a wonderful job dropping in to take care of my cat, Delilah, while I was out of the country. Alex left detailed drop-in notes with photos and took great care in following the instructions for feeding that I left. Alex spent time with Delilah during each visit for some much-needed cat playtime. I had complete confidence that Delilah was being well cared for while I was away for the week. Thank you, Alex!”
“Thank you Katy. I love how you got to know my animals. I would trust you to take care of my animals anytime. I did not worry because I knew my cats were well taken care of.”
“I am so thankful to have Jennifer look after Maxine when I’m away. Maxine loves her, and cuddles up with her during their visits. The check-in photos always put a smile on my face. 10/10 recommend Jennifer!”
About: Hi! I’m Mason — but around here you can just call me the best dogsitter ever 🤷🏼♂️. I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and it’s still my favorite part of every day. I have a puppy named Barley, who is an absolute lover and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t want to play with (she’s very gentle). Whether I’m working with shy pups, high-energy adventurers, or mellow couch lovers, I know how to meet dogs where they’re at and make them feel safe, understood, and excited to see me. ✔ 15 years of hands-on pet care ✔ Experienced with all breeds and temperaments ✔ Reliable communication + fast response ✔ Daytime availability for long walks or quick visits ✔ Friendly resident dog (Barley!) ✔ Warm, fun, and trustworthy ✔ Your dog becomes part of my little extended family I’m currently working nights primarily, so this allows me to be free during the day to check up on and walk the pups! My schedule does change a small bit week to week but it is fairly consistent. I love spending time with the dogs, so rest assured your pet will be supervised. If there is any specific needs your dog has please let me know so I can accommodate!
“Annika has been a lifesaver as I return to the office three days a week. She is so good with my puppy, and cares for her just as I would. She is super communicative and makes me feel like I am her only client. Highly recommend!”
“Brandon is an absolute gem! We just moved up here a couple months ago and had this vacation planned already. We knew nobody up here that we trusted to watch our cats and hedgie while we were gone. We had lost our Great Dane 2 weeks prior, so I was in FULL panic attack mode. Brandon came multiple times to check on my babies, gave me pictures, full updates, and chatted with me about them every time. He even came back after a visit same day because we saw one of my cats had something stuck on his tail. I went into full blown panic thinking he had something tied to it that would cut off circulation or he'd broken it somehow. Brandon came right back, checked him out and sent me updates and pictures. Without that level of care and compassion, I would have been a wreck. I 1000% recommend Brandon and will be booking him again (hopefully) for any other trips we take!”
About: I have never met a dog or cat that I did not immediately fall in love with! I am willing to put so much time and effort into helping your pet feel comfortable with me! I know how special pets and animals are, and I ensure each pet I care for feels incredibly loved and spoiled. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, ranging from puppies and kittens, all the way to senior aged pets! I know firsthand some of the special considerations that a pet caretaker needs to consider. I am very active and love taking pets for adventures, giving them lots of stimulation, and overall helping them have a fantastic day! There is nothing I love more than play time with a dog or cat! I am fully free Friday to Sunday to give your pet all my attention! During the week, I provide care in the morning and evening. I ensure they get all attention they need with tons of exercise and play. There is nothing I like more than playing with a cat or dog and I will bring this love and attention to your pet. I will follow all safety requirements and ensure safety for your pet. I maintain safety during interaction with other pets by specifying your pets comfort before hand and monitoring the interactions closely.
“Ashley is super friendly and responsive. I was sent the cutest pics and Ashley was very communicative about my cat's space in the house. He seemed like he had a blast!”

“Great! This was the first time my wife and I had used a dog daycare service, so we were a little nervous about leaving our senior dog with anyone. However, Sharon and Michael were great. They were super nice and made the process very easy, and they took very good care of our old dog. They give senior dogs special privileges and take extra care of them, which we loved. Highly recommend Sharon and Michael, and we will definitely use them again next time we need dog daycare services. Thank you, Sharon and Michael, for taking such great care of our Molly!”
“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!”
“Trey did a wonderful job caring for my pup. I felt lucky to have found someone to watch my dog who is happens to be an excellent trainer! She is patient, skilled and so kind! She walked me through her training series with my dog each step of the way.”

I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.
“Danielle was wonderful from the very start! This was our first time using Rover for Smoky and Danielle provided updates and photos throughout the day, which was very reassuring. Smoky clearly had a wonderful day with her and was exhausted when he got home! Already planning to rebook with Danielle.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.
About: During my childhood I often spent time with my grandmother and her pack of boxers. Now I have a Boston Terrier named Jack. I can handle a pack of up to 8 on my own I do currently have a job so I can be a bit busy sometimes. I live with quite a few people, we all help out with caring for the dogs in our care. I can usually feed the dogs in the morning and night. I can adhere to your dogs rules, whether you want them on furniture or not, whether you want them crated at certain times or not. I have not administered medicine before but I am willing to learn if need be.
“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: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees a few months ago. :( We have an older shihtzu and would like to watch another dog because our dog is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 2 dogs max at a time so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time tho since we also have a cat . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally continue my love into adulthood. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the knowledge I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
“Sophie seems to love hanging out with Tessa and her pooches and always comes home tired. It’s such a peace of mind to have a safe and fun family that Sophie spend time with.”
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!
“Tommy was the best! True to his reputation as the dog whisperer of Valdez. We will definitely call Tommy again when we are in town for fishing or taking family on the kayak or wildlife cruises. The dogs had their own day Valdez fun, too, instead of being locked up in a cage or car. Thank you Tommy!”
About: Hi! Both my husband and I have grown up in Alaska helping care for small chihuahuas all the way up to wolf-hybrids. We are a fun and loving couple with 2 small doodles of our own, 3 stories of house to play in, a small backyard/potty area, and located right next to a doggy park. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home permanently, so I am able to provide care all day long for your fur baby. While I work, typically my two doodles spend their time snacking and watching TV! Once the work day is up, to the park we go! I have two miniature sized doodles to keep your dog company. Additionally, we have many toys available to play with, ample treats, and a small backyard area for potty with an additional park right next door. Both of my doodles are fixed and crate trained. :)
“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: I have taken care of animals and properties since I was 13. Including through highschool, college, marriage. I love all animals, all exercise, outdoors, and organizing. I love the change and experience of taking care of other properties while housesitting. I love exercise, play time and cuddles while petsitting. I love to stay busy. I do whatever is requested by owner. I feed, bathe, groom, walk, run, drive. Feel free to give me a list. I appreciate the business.
About: I’m Zoey, I’m 30 and from Texas, I’ve been in Alaska almost 9 years. Animal lover and plant enthusiast!! I’ve loved taking care of animals since I was a little girl, I’ve always felt connected to all walks of life, and found them extremely intriguing and inspiring. My friends and family have counted on me to walk and sit for their pets for years now, including cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, birds and plants and a couple reptiles here and there :) hope to meet ur pup soon! I’m an owner of almost 50 indoor house plants. Which calls for routine and not quite like an animal, but I love them that much, I love taking care of things is what I’m trying to say :-) I wanna spend more time with animals than humans, life’s ruff. I would absolutely love to meet your pets, and help maintain the overall health of their fitness, taking them on long walks or short, I’m ready for it! Will follow any instructions left and or schedules, about triggers and what to avoid or what to focus on

“Krystina was great. Ollie clearly loved her and their walk times together. She was attentive and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter.”
“We are so glad that we found Elizabeth and HL, they have been great with our dog Buster. They treat Buster as if he were their own dog, and have a great affinity for what he needs. Buster can be a stubborn dog, and when at first he didn't want to go on walks with new people, Elizabeth and HL were so patient with him and would play with him instead. It didn't take long for them to gain Buster's trust, and now he is excited when he gets to go on walks with them. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and HL to anyone.”
About: I have lived with cats my entire life, and own two currently. I regularly check on friends cats and dogs when they are out of town (for the past 10 years), so I am confident in my abilities to give your pets the attention they need while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication reminders, enrichment, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I work remotely as a postdoc for UAF and my schedule can be flexible to work with yours/your pets needs! I enjoy spending time outdoors, and I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and active outings tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I have two cats and will generally not be accepting any stay-over visits at my own house. They are really friendly and love humans but other pets would be stressful for everyone!
“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: 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: I’ve worked at 1 different doggy daycares/1 rescue group for over 8 years. I’m always around dogs, of different sizes, temperaments, I’m great with all dogs, even dogs that don’t like other animals. etc..I will still walk them or dog sit them at their houses (I can’t board them at my house if they can be aggressive because I have other dogs). I love dogs so spending time with them is amazing. Im free all weekend to do anything for or with your pets. On the weekdays I get off work at 2pm so anytime after that I’d love to work! I have a fully fenced yard, 2 dog friends for your pet to play and cuddle with. I also have crates if needed for your dog.
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.

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.
“Katy has been great with my dog, Scruff. He needed a ton of patience starting out and she worked with him to get him used to a dog walker. He actually got a little grumpy with me one day when I stayed home sick and she didn’t come.”
“Elora is always fantastic with my GSD, Eris. She's punctual and takes great pics. Elora's schedule is very flexible and she handles last minute bookings with ease. Super happy with her service!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a little girl. I’ve also known that my future career path was going to be something to do with fur babies. I have taken 2 years of a veterinary medicine course in high school, which also gave me the opportunity to get a certification. I was also part of Veterinary Medicine CDE and we went to state and got runner up. This is sort of like a competition that tests you on the basics of veterinary medicine. I worked for Ashcroft Boarding facility and worked there for about a year before leaving for college. I have been pet sitting for 3 years now! At the moment I’m a student at CSU. I coach high school and club volleyball. I work at Facette medical spa and hair salon. My normal hours are 8:45am to 1 pm. My work schedule is very flexible. Something that I think is important is listening to the fur babies wants and wishes when it comes to overnight stays. My big thing is I will always check in with the parents before making any decisions. I want the parents to feel the most comfortable when they have me in their home.

I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away.
About: Ive had dogs in my life for just about all of it. I figured why not walk dogs and make some side cash while I walk around. Taking care of pets and walking dogs is more of just a part time thing I'm doing to pass the time and get to hang out with animals. Before I moved to Anchorage my family had 4 dogs that I took care of on a daily basis. I always make sure the dog is secured to a lease before I bring them out. Currently on a part time seasonal schedule with more time going to be available in the winter. Figured this would be a great way to stay active and outside while going into the winter months I've have plenty of experience with dogs and their care growing up in northwest Alaska. My siblings and I all had dogs growing up from newborn pups to our fathers dog that lived until he was 21.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I know how it is to go & leave your fur babies. I will give them the best as if they were my own. I have taken care of & raised dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, horses, goats, hamsters, lizards, fish, frogs, birds & many more. My family also loves all kinds of animals. This is a safe environment & they get what they need. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of availability. I love getting outdoors & enjoying the Alaskan summer to its fullest. I have a 13 yaar old & 18 I have a fenced yard & a split level house if needed. I can watch them at my home or yours. I go on walks, drives, hikes & whatever is needed. Tell me what you need for your fur babies & I will make sure this happens.
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.
“Eric did a wonderful job walking our pups! He was on time, we got pics of them out on their walk and had 2 happy pup faces when they got home! Thank you Eric!”
“Tessa takes great care of Dash! She always communicates effectively, is easy to work with and always keeps me updated on how Dash is doing. Would highly recommend!”

“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Suzanne and her husband took my friend and I’s pups after we scheduled a last minute trip. They were extremely accommodating and communicative! They sent us pictures during the weekend and the pups were well taken care of! Would definitely recommend!”

“I love that I found a trusting family to leave our golden with when we are out of town. He happily goes to their house and I’m at ease knowing he is being well taken care of. I highly recommend Sharon and Michael.”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“Danielle did a fantastic job with my lab. He had injuries his leg right before our trip. Danielle went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and didn’t injury any thing else. Country be more pleased.”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
About: Hello, Caitlyn T. and Harrison S. here! Much of our life revolves around our sweet Alaskan Husky, Crosby, and we'd love to add your pup to the pack while you're away. We both have extensive experience pet sitting - from horses to cats and dogs - and would love to help our community with the space and time we currently have available. About Us: I, Caitlyn, work from home so I can be with your pup all day! We have a dog door to a fenced in (sunny!) backyard, so when we're away, the pups still have access to the yard. We get in morning and afternoon leashed neighborhood sniff-walks, then do longer off-leash walks in the evenings. Harrison works at a bakery in town, but equally caretakes in the evenings and on Sundays and Mondays. As a pet parent myself, having two people involved in the care of my pet when I'm away is comforting, so we're happy to provide that to others! About Crosby: Crosby is a 13-year-old Alaskan Husky/Shephard mix who didn't make the cut for his dog sled team as a puppy, then spent his early years on a farm in Talkeenta before joining our family 9 years ago. He absolutely loves other dogs and reads them well. If they want to play, he'll play, if they want to be left alone, he'll leave them alone. He grew up around puppies, so he is also very good at setting and holding appropriate boundaries with dogs who are still learning. Overall, he has a very quiet, soft demeaner at home but is the most confident, bouncy dog at the park. He still has a lot of energy and in his older years, we just want him to have as much dog-companionship as possible. Your Dog: A good fit for our home would be a dog that is friendly with other dogs, is not food/toy aggressive, can be independent in the house for 1-3 hours at a time, and would not dig under or jump the 4' fence or dig in our gardens. We look forward to chatting more and meeting your pup! 😊 I, Caitlyn, work from home so I can be with your pup all day!

“Hawken was fantastic in watching and caring for my 3 golden retriever boys!! Loved that he sent daily pictures of them while I was away and missing them. I had no worries knowing that they were in good hands. He took each one on walks to get to know them better and spend quality time with each one. I would definitely have him watch my boys again!! Thank you so much Hawken!! -Maria”
“Ashley was great! We needed to find a place at the last minute for our dog for a couple nights. Great communication and she was able to accommodate some minor schedule changes, which was a big help. And, she took great care of our dog, who said he had a blast!”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with other people, let alone strangers. We went to do a meet and greet beforehand and didn’t know quite what to expect. Ryan and Chelsea were great with both of them from the start. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very open. While we were away he kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us photos and videos often. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip and not have to worry how they were doing. When we went to pick them up, our dogs were excited to see us, but made sure to get last pets from Ryan. We know they are in good hands with Ryan and Chelsea. We will definitely be coming back to them for our trips and we highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
“Ashley watched our puppy over the holidays. Our pup got to play outside a lot. Ashley sent photos/updates and even helped with potty training. She was very flexible and accommodating when our original plans fell through. She is amazing!”
About: Would love to love on others pets as we unexpectedly lost our dog of 12 years and aren’t ready for another of our own yet I’m currently a stay home mom to a 3 year old daughter, we walk almost everyday and have more than enough time and love to give! We have a shared unfenced yard but walk around the neighborhood daily. We have an open space for playing around and lots of time to give!
“Highly Recommended!!! My dog Maggie has such a great time. I got pics and texts to stay in touch with updates. Maggie was able to play and enjoy a wonderful fenced in backyard. Faelyn was very caring and I felt confident with leaving Maggie with her.”
