“Rhonda was awesome ? she kept my Zoe for several days and I had no complaints. Updated several times a day and plenty of pics of my baby. This was our first time leaving our puppy for so long and using this service. Rhonda did not disappoint us! Will DEFINITELY use her again. Thanks again ??”
“Lauren and her family were great with our dog while we were on vacation. Lauren sent us updates about Podrick’s stay with pictures and he seemed to be at ease in her home. Definitely recommend her services. We came home to a happy and well taken care of pupper.”
“They are super a super sweet couple who were kind enough to step up on short notice after the sitter I initially hired had a family emergency. My dog enjoyed her time at their house and all the extra outside time and walks. They administered her medicine with zero issues. We got lots of great updates and photos while we were gone, too! I would definitely book with them again.”
“We are so thankful for the amazing care our dog Mookie received! She accepted our last-minute boarding request and was incredibly communicative, kind, and accommodating from start to finish. She worked around our schedule and even cared for Mookie despite having other plans herself — truly a lifesaver for our family. She kept us updated with pictures, and Mookie looked so content and happy the entire time. When we brought him back, he was genuinely excited to see her again, which says everything about how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust her with Mookie again and highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
“This is Jojo's second time staying with Weslyn, and once again she has taken awesome care of him and has provided daily updates. She kept me informed and gave Jojo plenty of exercise. I will be booking with her again.”
“Jade was awesome taking care of Bruno! She made sure to keep us updated and provided photos. She genuinely cares about animals. We will definitely book again if available. I highly recommend her”
“Outstanding hosts that took amazing care of my dog! Sent me picture updates and messages every day letting me know she was adjusting great and getting along well with their dog. Highly recommend. Will be requesting them again.”
“Londyn is a wonderful sitter! She and her dog Onyx welcomed my pup into their home and gave him the time he needed to adjust and relax before I departed. She gave a few updates through the duration of his stay and included a couple of pictures each time. Londyn helped us to feel at ease while she watched our pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Should we need a sitter again she will definitely be our first choice!”
“Samantha was such a great dog sitter, Abby was sad when she drove off. She sent the cutest pictures, amd kept us up to date. We would be lucky to have her watch our doggos again!”
“Kristen did a great job. My dog is a rescue from an abusive past so we get a bit nervous leaving her. My usual pet sitters - friends - were suddenly unable to watch my dog and I stumbled across Kristen. She does have several dogs, which for my dog is a great distraction from being away from her owners. My dog had a great time with her and her dogs. I will definitely use Kristen again as a pet sitter.”

“Kaycee came to the rescue when I realized I forgot to book boarding at my normal place. I was able to book, confirm, pay, and speak in detail with Kaycee less than 24 hours before I brought my dogs to her. She was so accommodating, kind, and professional. Her property is in a beautiful location, perfect for happy dogs to play all day! One of my dogs had attitude when we first showed up and it was embarrassing for me but Kaycee comforted me letting me know she was completely comfortable with my big 105lb and 70lb dogs, even the one who had attitude. Kaycee gave me tips for walking them as they both pull me with all their strength on walks. I can tell she knows what she's doing! She sent me pictures and videos throughout their stay and I could see how happy my dogs were throughout their stay. Kaycee is a gem and I plan to book with her again!”

About: I have had cats and taken care of cats my entire life. Clean litter boxes are absolutely crucial to the health and well being of cats. Cats are generally clean creatures, and they expect their home to be clean. I make that happen. I have experience with medications, but not administering shots.
About: I’ve cared for pets for many years and genuinely love animals. I understand how important routines and trust are, and I make sure every pet feels comfortable, calm, and cared for. I am active duty military. I have time throughout the day to take dogs out or feed them when needed. Free Friday through Sunday as well About an acre of land for dogs to roam around on, unfenced. Can be crated when needed or if they are good without it and won’t destroy furniture, that works too. Can take them on walks or hikes.

“Fantastic pet sitter. Highly recommend for any pet owner in need. Deliberate with care and is able was able to assist with medication as needed for my dog Fenrir. Will request services again.”
About: I’ve had a cat in the past, though it’s been some time. Now that I’m newly retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, consistent care. I enjoy quiet time and would love spending it sitting with, playing with, and caring for cats. I can offer a calm, comfortable environment and will make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: While I haven't personally owned a cat, I have spent plenty of time around them and am comfortable with all aspects of basic caregiving. In fact, as the owner of a Holland Lop rabbit, I am accustomed to caring for animals that thrive on a quiet environment, routine consistency, and litter box maintenance! Beyond my general comfort with cats, I bring a unique level of professional security to my pet-sitting clients. I recently relocated to Fairbanks from Virginia after earning my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Radford University. This medical background means I have advanced training in physical handling, positioning, safety, and observant care, which translates beautifully to cat sitting: Respect for Boundaries: I understand that cats like to call the shots. Whether your cat is an affectionate cuddler or an independent spirit who prefers their space, I am patient and will completely respect their comfort levels. Calm & Quiet Environment: I am dedicating a lot of my afternoons and weekends to studying for my upcoming physical therapy board exams. This means I will be a calm, quiet presence in your home—perfect for cats who dislike loud noises or chaotic energy. Detail-Oriented Routine Follower: Because of my clinical training, I am precise with instructions. I will ensure feeding schedules, fresh water routines, and litter box cleaning is handled exactly to your specifications. I treat every animal in my care with the same high level of respect, safety, and love that I give my own fur babies. I can’t wait to look after your pet!
About: I have been around many animals in my 25 years of life. I’ve taken care of my dogs cats, and I’ve even taken care of reptiles. whatever you need I can help you. I am stay at home mom and want to make some passive income. I’m available anytime any day. My dogs and cats get along with anyone and any animal. At my home I have one dog three cats. I have a three bedroom home so if they don’t get along with other dogs/cats they can be boarded in my room with me.
“Miranda took great care of my cat! Communication was top tier. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was very understanding when delays happened with pick up. I will absolutely be contacting her again for future animal care.”
About: I love taking care of cats. My friends and family fully entrust me in the care of their feline babies. I just love getting to know them and their individual personalities. I've had ones that are so loving and affectionate and I've also had the independent ones that are content to coexist with you, but everything must be on their terms. One time I was cat sitting for a friend while she was on vacation. I immediately noticed when he wasn’t feeling well and was very lethargic. We lived in a very remote area with the nearest vet was a 3 hour drive. I noticed swelling on the top of his head. I was pretty sure it was an abscess. I dug into my background as a medical assistant and was able to gently apply pressure and extract the thick fluid. As soon as I cleared out the infection area, he was back to his normal self. To this day my friend tells the story of how I performed “emergency surgery” on her little friend. While I absolutely realize the number one option is care from a veterinarian, in a pinch, you do what you have to do and he was getting worse and worse each time I checked in on him.
About: I grew up with cats almost all my life, I own two myself. I take cat health very serious especially being knowledgeable with different sensory conditions for my cats and others! I used to have a very old cat Callie who needed medication everyday and certain foods throughout the day just to keep her going so I’m pretty specialized in elder cat care as well as kittens!

“Jade is amazing and very patient with my very high energy Italian Greyhound and equally patient with my non-energetic Min Pin. :) The boys always come back to me happy and tired which works well for me! :)”
About: We have both had pets our entire lives, until recently. Have experience in medication and senior care needs. We have had both cats and dogs in the home. Most of our animals were rescue critters, with various backgrounds. We have not only taken care of our own pets but watched friends critters when they traveled. Currently one of us is retired and will be able to be with your pet all day, except on occasion when we go out or errands. Both of us are home in the evenings and weekends and are also willing to take your pet with for rides or errands, if allowed. We enjoy daily walks. We do not have a fenced yard but a nice area for walking behind the house. Your pet will always be supervised. We can crate your dog, if needed or requested, but otherwise they will have the run of the house.
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pup as he looks at you with those eyes as you walk through the door You know the look I'm talking about. Whether you're leaving for the day or a whole week, I would love to hang out with your pup during your time away and give him or her their daily walks, cuddles, playtime, or whatever else they may need. I also offer baths to boarders before you pick them up, and depending on pup, nail trims! Be sure to specify when booking if interested! Ask about available puppy training if interested! (Available through board and train, or weekend hourly care!) My previous work experience includes working at a doggie daycare center for 2 years, overseeing playtime, swim time, bath time, feeding, and setting up for overnight stays. Through this company I often brought home client's dogs for overnight stays if they did not want their dog staying on the facility campus overnight. I also worked as a veterinary receptionist, quickly moving up within a year, to a manager position. While here I learned a lot about pet diseases, how to best care for them, appropriately administer medications, as well as be able to quickly recognize any problems that may arise in terms of a pets health. I have had dogs since I was a little girl, and currently share my home with an old pittie mix and an energetic malmute puppy! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and look forward to meeting yours! References available! I With 3 younger kids at home our house is full of energy! My husband and I strive to get the pups out on a walk atleast 1-2 times a day, weather permitting during winter. My kiddos LOVE playing fetch, wrestling, or just snuggling with our client pups, and often enjoy helping feed or tiring them out every day! -Boarding dogs will be kept separate during feeding events (whether on a separate floor of the house, or in a dog crate during feeding time) to prevent altercations between pups. -We have a fenced in 'potty' yard for the pups, otherwise dogs will be leashed when hanging out outside with us or going on a walk. Repeat client pups may be kept off leash after comfortability has been determined and owners have agreed and are comfortable.
“Miranda is a loving person who has a passion of caring for animals. She is a responsible pet owner and sitter who has a wealth of knowledge. She even gave our Rose a bath! She gave me updates and took care of Rose. Our Rose is a small dog who weighs 9 lbs. I would recommend her to others.”
“Tiffany is amazing! She took great care of our two puppies. They had a fun time playing with her sweet dog Barbara too. She was also a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
About: Looking for exceptional dog care? Look no further! My name is Kait, and I bring over 20 years of experience in nurturing and caring for dogs. Raised in a family of passionate dog lovers, I have been surrounded by our furry friends since childhood. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated my time to fostering dogs at the renowned Hound Lounge in Anchorage. This invaluable experience has taught me the ins and outs of providing top-notch care to canines of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Even so-called "aggressive" dogs hold no fear for me, as I have grown up around pits and mastiffs with absolute ease. One thing that sets me apart is the instant connection I form with dogs. They seem to understand that I approach them with kindness, compassion, and unconditional love. I believe in treating every dog as an individual, tailoring my care to their specific needs and desires. Whether they crave snuggles, engaging playtime, or simply a comforting presence, I am dedicated to providing exactly what they need. So if you're seeking someone who genuinely prefers dogs over humans (let's be honest, who can blame me?), I am the perfect choice for your precious furry companion. Rest assured, your dog will be in capable hands with me, receiving the utmost care, attention, and affection they deserve. Don't hesitate to reach out and let's discuss how I can provide unparalleled dog care tailored specifically to your dog's needs. Together, we'll create a stress-free and joyful experience for your beloved canine! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent presence rather than quick drop-ins. I plan my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime so pets get attention, structure, and calm companionship throughout the day—not just care tasks. On a weekly level, I maintain routines that match what they’re used to, keeping things predictable and low-stress while you’re away. I only house-sit, so your pet gets to stay right where they’re most comfortable—their own home, routines, and familiar smells. I follow your care instructions closely, keep the house secure, and treat your space with respect. I’m calm, attentive, and let pets set the pace, especially at the beginning. I pay attention to their body language, moods, and little signals so I can respond before stress builds. Because I’m actually living in the home, they get real companionship and consistency—not just someone popping in and out. The goal is for them to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved dogs more than people—and caring for them truly makes me happy 🤍 I’m a night shift nurse working three days a week and my finance is home while I’m at work, which means I have plenty of flexibility and dedicated time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd who is friendly, well-socialized, and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys company, they’ll have a built-in adventure buddy! I’m very outdoorsy and love keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your dog needs a quick walk or a full-on adventure, I tailor each visit to their energy level and personality. What You Can Expect: • Reliable, responsible care (healthcare background) • Lots of exercise + outdoor time • Photo and update messages • A safe, calm, and loving environment I walk my dog everyday and go on hikes multiple times a week. I work 3 nights/ week and let him out a few times a day. I’m very accommodating with my schedule! My fiance is also home the nights I work so your fur babies will rarely be left alone. I have a lot of respect and love for dogs, I accommodate my schedule based on their needs. My fiance is home when I work so it’s rare dogs in my care are left unattended.
About: I’m an adoptive dog mom of an almost 12 year pit mix. I’ve fostered many dogs though the years. I’ve taken care of farm animals, family and friends pets, and enjoy animals so much. I currently have 11 chickens along with my furry baby boy, Dozer. I was in the medical field for over 7 years and enjoyed the therapy aspect of animal connection with my patients! It is truly amazing the peace an animal can bring to a weary heart and I’m so appreciative for the furry beings that enrich our daily lives. I’m a military spouse and have never met an animal I didn’t like. Even took care of a squirrel for a short period of time. I have open availability, currently. Looking to fill my time with wiggly butts and happy faces! I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation for work. I live on over an acre that is heavily wooded around the perimeter.

About: Hey my name is Stephanie, and my partner Sam and I are looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Your pet is in great hands because: 1. I spent 6 years as a vet tech 2. I am a stay at home mom so your pup will rarely be left alone, and we have a huge yard for outdoor play time. 3. We have 3 very sweet dogs who love to play, but we also have areas to keep everyone separate when they decide it’s time for a nap. 4. Your pet will never be tied up outside, but will also get plenty of outside time! 5. You’ll get pictures of your happy pet every time they stay with us If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out! I am a stay at home mom so the only time your fur baby will be alone is when I go to the grocery store, and when I go for walks with my little one. If they are good on lead then it’s likely I will take them with me. Dogs get plenty of outdoor time if they want it. While indoors get to play with the tornado of dog toys strewn throughout the house. They will also get plenty of human interaction, our dogs would even say they get too much at times haha.
About: I am a stay at home mom to 3 human children, and we all enjoy having more pets to love on at our home, or your home! I am a stay at home mom and will be home Majority of the day other than when I have to do pick up/drop off. I have a fenced in yard for animals to go potty/ sun bathe in the summer. I have 2 of my own dogs very friendly. 13 year old Little pup and a 6 month old chihuahua.
About: Hi, I'm Dave! I have over 15 years of professional work experience and education in the animal care field; working with everything from rodents to horses, and everything in between! I've had the pleasure of helping out 20 different Fairbanks families so far and look forward to growing that circle soon! In 2009, I completed a vocational school program in Small Animal Science: a two-year course designed for training future veterinary technicians. From there I worked at several boarding kennels where I cared for dogs and cats staying for day care as well as boarding. I now have my B.S. in Wildlife Biology, but still enjoy caring for more domesticated animals of all sizes. I have a very friendly Border Collie who I am training to eventually compete in agility competitions, as well as other canine sports and activities. I am looking forward to making connections with other pet parents here in the Fairbanks area, and hope that you will let me care for your pet! References can be made available upon request! I have experience caring for the following: Dogs (including several dog sled teams of 15+ dogs) Cats Horses Goats Chickens Ducks/geese Rabbits Guinea pigs/rats/mice/etc Fish Birds Chinchillas Reptiles/Amphibians August through April is my 'off season' from my remote fieldwork, meaning I have ample time to dedicate to house/pet sitting when back in town. I have many friends and coworkers that ask me to house/dog sit and my '22-'23 calendar is filling up fast. Reach out to me if you would like to get on my schedule! Whether in my cabin, or at your home, an animals safety is my #1 priority. I am very flexible with an individual pets needs/requirements and can adapt very easily to adjust to what is necessary - whether that's leashed walks, supervised playtime with other dogs, or kenneled naps.
“Kaycee and her sweet doggos made such a positive impression on me and my dog, Tuuq. She did an amazing job giving us a tour of her yard and her friendly dogs accepted my dog right into their pack. Kaycee’s experience and love for all dogs is so evident as soon as you meet her. I feel confident leaving my best friend Tuuq with Kaycee and I am looking forward to being a repeat customer!”

At our meet and greet I will collect information to provide clean careful services for your animal. As I do my own cat; I will wash bowls daily, clean litter box daily, clean and portion food out daily. With your pup, daily walks/outside time. I will spend time with your fur baby and given them quality pets, brushes, and playtime.
“Joanne is doing a great job! She comes on time and has been able to walk both my dogs together which is challenging with a 2 year old Belgian Malinois. She always hangs their harnesses back on the coat rack where they can’t chew them, gives them a dog treat and makes sure to lock up before she leaves. Thank you Joanne from Ladybug and Angel and me!”
About: I have experience in boarding, grooming, training and running doggy day care. I have also boarded cats and reptiles. People have relied on me to board and/or walk their dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 7 years old. I believe in reliable, affordable, and loving pet care and strive to make your pet feel comfortable and safe. Let my home be their second home! I will have plenty of time to love on, walk, and play with your pets! I am currently available most days. This includes most holidays too. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company and happy! The dogs have their own room in the house that also includes kennels if your dog is trained, if not, that is ok, we have dog beds too! I also have all sorts of toys to play with and lots of yard space for your dog to run and play! Dogs and cats are also allowed in the house and on the furniture/couches.

About: I have been dog sitting for people since I was in my early teens. One of my repeat sits was a reactive german shepherd, and his overexcited sister. After the initial few minutes of him getting used to me, we never had a problem. I am confident with both dogs and cats, am able to give medicine, and have a good attitude. I am currently not working, so I would be able to dedicate whatever time necessary fully to whatever pet I am taking care of. My life would revolve around their schedule. I will do potty breaks and playtime based off of what the environment looks like, (ie fenced yard or not, is it -40°). I would do walks exclusively with a leash.
About: I have 2 years of dog sitting for my neighbor when I was in high school. I watched my friends’ cat periodically while they were on vacation. I took care of my friends’ three big dogs it was challenging but a blast! I love brushing, playing, and most of all running! I would play with my aunt’s dog tank, outside for hours at a time. He was a very high energy dog which I love. I am currently in the army stationed at fort wainwright AK. I’m available everyday besides scheduled field problems. Sometimes duty calls and I have to come later or even earlier but I’ll you know in advance. I feed my kitties twice a day and give them fresh, filtered water every day. Most importantly, I give them the attention they crave every single day. We try to buy new toys for our little fur kiddos every month. Our apartment is open for them to run and play with each other. Hazardous chemicals such as windex, and Clorox etc. are put away where the fur balls cannot access them. I brush them both once a week and the most stinky part, the litter gets scooped once a day every day!! As for dogs, I love taking care of them, many of my family members have dogs that I love to play with and wear out. If I had a dog of my own I would be playing outside with them for hours a day but making sure they are happy and healthy by paying attention to their needs and emotions.
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and I'm that person that will go out of my way to make sure an animal is happy and content. Family, friends and neighbors fully entrust me with the care and transport of their pets and can rest their minds because they know their pet is in good hands. I send texts, pics and any other updates of how their beloved furry family member is doing while they're away. One time I was watching my friend's senior cat while she was away. We lived in very rural Alaska at the time where the nearest vet was a 3 hour drive. He was fine for the first couple of days, then out of nowhere he became very lethargic. Low energy and wasn't eating. I noticed a rather large, soft lump on his head between his ears which I thought to be an abscess. I reached into my background as a medical assistant and decided to drain the fluid. Once I did, he jumped back to his old self... purrring, playing, eating. Yes, I know taking him to the vet is the best option, but sometimes you do what needs to be done. While I love both cats and dogs and am willing to care for both, the dog would have to be the right fit. Meaning, due to my injury, I'm not able to go on runs like I used to or long walks. I am currently recovering from an on the job injury, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available most any time aside from my physical therapy appointments once a week. Don't let my injury deter you. I am strong, mobile and more than capable of most activities minus running or long walks. I prefer taking care of pets in the comfort of their home. I am both dependable and reliable as a house/pet sitter or drop in.
About: We have both had pets our entire lives, until recently. Have experience in medication and senior care needs. We have had both cats and dogs in the home. Most of our animals were rescue critters, with various backgrounds. We have not only taken care of our own pets but watched friends critters when they traveled. Currently one of us is retired and will be able to be with your pet all day, except on occasion when we go out or errands. Both of us are home in the evenings and weekends and are also willing to take your pet with for rides or errands, if allowed. We enjoy daily walks. We do not have a fenced yard but a nice area for walking behind the house. Your pet will always be supervised. We can crate your dog, if needed or requested, but otherwise they will have the run of the house.
About: For well over 10 years i’ve taken care of all different types of pets with different needs, sensitivities, energies and personalities! From training my own pets to providing compassionate pet sitting, I've honed my skills. Volunteering at shelters and offering dog-walking services, I'm committed to the well-being of all animals. I have a lot of expertise with high anxiety dogs, high energy dogs, dogs needing medication and dogs that have very specific exercises they can or can’t do, due to a condition they may have! I have participated in physical therapy with my own dog, he a boxer that’s full of energy but we have to exercise and enrich him in specific ways so that he doesn’t overdo it so I know how important it is to have good care for your fur babies, care that you can trust. I am a stay at home mom, me and my daughter enjoy getting out and walking/playing and helping families with their own fur family members! Your pets safety and comfort is the top of my priority’s. I will follow any and all routines they’re used to in their own environment.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and am adaptable to any furry friend’s needs. My specialized experience includes caring for a Great Dane on a specialized diet and a blind black Labrador who loved to play fetch. I’ve also cared for toy breeds, including feeding, walking, and administering oral medications. I am currently not working, so I am able to stop by almost any time of day. I prefer to have Friday evenings off but am willing to accommodate if I am given a few days notice. I have experience staying overnight at friends and family’s homes while taking care for their pets, and have no issue staying up late or waking early for a pet’s needs. I also welcome lots of playtime or snuggles if needed.

“Lauren and her family were great with our dog while we were on vacation. Lauren sent us updates about Podrick’s stay with pictures and he seemed to be at ease in her home. Definitely recommend her services. We came home to a happy and well taken care of pupper.”
“They are super a super sweet couple who were kind enough to step up on short notice after the sitter I initially hired had a family emergency. My dog enjoyed her time at their house and all the extra outside time and walks. They administered her medicine with zero issues. We got lots of great updates and photos while we were gone, too! I would definitely book with them again.”
“We are so thankful for the amazing care our dog Mookie received! She accepted our last-minute boarding request and was incredibly communicative, kind, and accommodating from start to finish. She worked around our schedule and even cared for Mookie despite having other plans herself — truly a lifesaver for our family. She kept us updated with pictures, and Mookie looked so content and happy the entire time. When we brought him back, he was genuinely excited to see her again, which says everything about how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust her with Mookie again and highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
“This is Jojo's second time staying with Weslyn, and once again she has taken awesome care of him and has provided daily updates. She kept me informed and gave Jojo plenty of exercise. I will be booking with her again.”
“Jade was awesome taking care of Bruno! She made sure to keep us updated and provided photos. She genuinely cares about animals. We will definitely book again if available. I highly recommend her”
“Outstanding hosts that took amazing care of my dog! Sent me picture updates and messages every day letting me know she was adjusting great and getting along well with their dog. Highly recommend. Will be requesting them again.”
“Londyn is a wonderful sitter! She and her dog Onyx welcomed my pup into their home and gave him the time he needed to adjust and relax before I departed. She gave a few updates through the duration of his stay and included a couple of pictures each time. Londyn helped us to feel at ease while she watched our pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Should we need a sitter again she will definitely be our first choice!”
“Samantha was such a great dog sitter, Abby was sad when she drove off. She sent the cutest pictures, amd kept us up to date. We would be lucky to have her watch our doggos again!”
“Kristen did a great job. My dog is a rescue from an abusive past so we get a bit nervous leaving her. My usual pet sitters - friends - were suddenly unable to watch my dog and I stumbled across Kristen. She does have several dogs, which for my dog is a great distraction from being away from her owners. My dog had a great time with her and her dogs. I will definitely use Kristen again as a pet sitter.”
About: I am a stay at home mom to 3 human children, and we all enjoy having more pets to love on at our home, or your home! I am a stay at home mom and will be home Majority of the day other than when I have to do pick up/drop off. I have a fenced in yard for animals to go potty/ sun bathe in the summer. I have 2 of my own dogs very friendly. 13 year old Little pup and a 6 month old chihuahua.
“I can’t say enough nice things about Tiffany. Our communication was great. I had a change in travel plans and she was very accommodating. She sent me pictures of them home and on walks so I knew he was having a blast. Her pup Barb is a doll and very friendly :)”
“Kaycee came to the rescue when I realized I forgot to book boarding at my normal place. I was able to book, confirm, pay, and speak in detail with Kaycee less than 24 hours before I brought my dogs to her. She was so accommodating, kind, and professional. Her property is in a beautiful location, perfect for happy dogs to play all day! One of my dogs had attitude when we first showed up and it was embarrassing for me but Kaycee comforted me letting me know she was completely comfortable with my big 105lb and 70lb dogs, even the one who had attitude. Kaycee gave me tips for walking them as they both pull me with all their strength on walks. I can tell she knows what she's doing! She sent me pictures and videos throughout their stay and I could see how happy my dogs were throughout their stay. Kaycee is a gem and I plan to book with her again!”
