“Rhonda was amazing! She sent me photos and videos everyday of my happy pups. My girls loved her so much, they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! I highly recommend Rhonda to anyone looking for a loving dog sitter!”
“So grateful to have found Kristen! Things worked out perfectly, great communication before and during my trip, she kept me updated on things, shared pics and videos of my dog during her stay with Kristen. I knew Rosey was in good hands and didn’t spend any time worrying about any of it! Definitely will be reaching out again next time I need a dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren went above and beyond our expectations. She's super friendly and was very welcoming to our pups. She kept great communication and sent many photo updates, keeping us confident our pups were in good hands while on vacation. Nothing feels better than knowing your animals are safe and given love while you're away! She even had to handle an unexpected trip to the vet for one pup and had to administer meds for 2 days. We really are satisfied and are looking forward to the next vacation when we can work 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”
“Weslyn did an awesome job watching Jojo. She updated me every day, offered to replace his food if he were to run out, and was extremely flexible with constant scheduling issues that happened on my end. Not only was she flexible, but was gracious and patient regarding the changes as well. Upon return, though I planned on picking Jojo up from Weslyn's residence, she drove to me instead because my car had been buried in the snow. Jojo was happy and taken care of, and Weslyn's professional attitude made being away from my pup easier.”
“My dog was happy when we dropped him off and happy when we picked him up! He looked comfy and right at home in the photos we received. Communication with Tiffany was clear, quick, and friendly, and she was flexible when weather interfered with our travel plans. Would definitely ask her to look after my dog again!”
“Our dog Steve had a great time with Julie-Ann. She took great care of him and sent at least one picture a day. I highly recommend Julie-Ann and her husband, and we will definitely try to use her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Leslie was amazing! Very communicative and sent us plenty of photos of our sweet Daisy. We had a change in our travel plans and Leslie was flexible and allowed us to extend by 2 days with no issues. She is affordable and incredibly qualified and loving with pets! We will book with her again.”
“Stephanie and Omar were incredible! My dogs can be “a lot” but they gave them all the love and cuddles they needed. I 100% trust them with my monsters and will definitely book with 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!”
“My dog had a blast and learned new things from kaycee's dogs. I am so grateful that she was ale to take my dog at the last minute and was willing to adapt when my flight was delayed.”
“Andrea was awesome! We booked with her for a few days and didn’t have any issues. She communicated quickly and consistently kept us updated as well provided pictures. She was also very flexible with the drop off/ pickup times. I would definitely recommend her”

“Mallory did great, especially considering that my cat is not the most socially outgoing. Speedy was well taken care of, in spite of the fact that she kept greeting Mallory with hisses.”
“Joanne provided pet care for our two cats and we couldn’t be more impressed with her efforts. Plans changed and she was able to cover additional days. Joanne has gone above and beyond to make sure our pets were cared for with daily drop ins. She fed and played with the cats and did any necessary clean up. We highly recommend Joanne.”
“This was the first time I've left my cat alone in Pullman, and Rian did a good job assuaging my nerves. She sent detailed updates everyday, and I came home to a happy cat.”
“Even with very short notice and my elder cat being fresh out of medical emergency and needing special care, Jodi jumped right on board and took great care of cat for four nights. She communicated daily and followed all instructions closely. My cat was very content and I could tell she was well-cared for when I returned. Jodi also left my apartment as tidy as she found it! I would hire her again :)”
“The best sitter I’ve had, my animals LOVE her and she does more than just take the minimum care of them, she bonds with and spends time on them. Her communication is top tier and personable. Would recommend to anyone”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and rodents my entire life, and currently have two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. I love hanging out with animals and look forward to meeting your pups and kitties! I have helped take care of various pets for friends and others, including but not limited to, a pair of elderly dachshunds that had various medical needs, a lovely cat who loves to hand out, and I took home the class ferret nearly every weekend during my senior year. I am very familiar with administering medicine orally to both cats and dogs, and I have provided shots in the past. I personally had to care for my own dog that needed major surgery, and am familiar with animal's warnings and limits. I currently work part-time on an every other week schedule, but can take care of animals between shifts as needed. My husband and I split the care for our pets and make sure all of them get the proper playtime and food they individually need. I follow all instructions provided by the owner and always meet new animals before the owner leaves so that they are familiar with me. I provide food, play with the pets for a bit, and any other requests while in the home.
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!
“Ashley was awesome with our cats!! Very communicative and also flexible with our schedule! She sent pics and updates throughout our vacation. We had no worries at all while we were away and she took great care of our home! She will be our go to for pet sitting in the future. 😊”
“Theresa did such a great job with Mowgli, she took him out for some exercise so he could get his energy out and sent me lots of pics! She took care that his feet and toys weren't left muddy after they played outside. Would definitely recommend her, and would love to have her watch Mowgli again in the future!!”
“We are so impressed with the care Sara took with our three cats! They are all young and have unique personalities and care needs. This was our first time leaving them to go on a trip and we were a little nervous as to how they would behave. However, we had no need to worry. Sara went above and beyond with her care of them! She made sure they were fed, played with, snuggled, and kept everything clean and tidy. We will definitely rebook with Sara in the future! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Veronica was a lifesaver, able to take care of my cat while I was out of town for a week on short notice! She was super responsive and sent great action shots of feeding and watering the cat =) Thanks so much!”
“She is fantastic! She took great care of my 5 kitties that get wet food twice a day (they are spoiled) she kept us update with great photos! The kitties were totally relaxed when we got home ! She is awesome! Hope to use her again”
About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.
About: I have had cats since as long as I can remember. Recently, cat adoption led me to love them more and I have enjoyed spending more time with my Zelda, making sure she is well-taken care of and loved than before. My ultimate goal is to share that love for Zelda with your cat and to make sure he/she is taken care of with zero worries while you’re away. I have extensive cat litter cleaning experience, knowledge in weight management for a healthy lifestyle more time for cuddles with your beloved cat. My ultimate goal is a worry-free environment during your time away while providing care.

“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!”
“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: 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 will take care of you dog the same way I take care of my kids and dog ..my friend always asks me to take care of they baby’s while they go out of town My furry friend is just like my son I take care of him just like my kids I have 3 kids I love the to death I do not have a fenced yard but I have a dog can not keep your baby company and have play time with the kids
About: I was raised on a farm and have experience with all types of animals. I have been hired to taking care of animals around my neighborhood.

Since I am a college student, I can't provide in home services at this time. I have transportation so I am willing to travel to your home.
“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!”
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.
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.
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.

“Mallory was a fantastic dog walker for my pup during a busy week when I couldn't give her all the attention she deserves. Mallory came by to meet Sakura ahead of time and discuss all the details with me. During the walks, she always provided text updates and adorable pictures. She even brought her kids along once and took them all to the playground!!! Thank you so much for your help taking care of my baby when I was busy, going above and beyond to give Sakura fun and fulfilling outings!”
“Joanne has been walking Toto since last March. She is currently Tot's favorite person. On time, reliable. good communication. Toto's parents are happy with her as well.”
“Jodi is a excellent dog walker and communicator. She provided full details about our dog's health and activity as well as photos. It is easy to tell how much she cares for the dogs she walks. I won't hesitate to use her again if I am lucky enough to be in the area again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner in the past for many years and enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch or just showing them lots of love! I currently have a dog and 2 cats of my own that my parents watch for me while I’m doing a sitting job. I do have some experience with training and teaching commands if needed. I am not able to have your dog at my apartment but am willing to come to you to help any way I can! I am using this service out to make some extra cash but also to appease my animal loving heart as well! :) Your pet(s) will be in good hands with me! I work “bankers hours” so I am free on nights and some weekends depending on my schedule and previous commitments but generally plenty of free time. I am always concerned for my own pets health and happiness and do any and everything I can do to make sure they’re living their best life. I will mostly be free for nights and weekends. I don’t usually plan much, especially in the winter, so I have plenty of free time! My cats have plenty of toys and 2 towers to climb on. They are always fed and watered and are always good for a cuddle.
“We booked Alana while traveling to the KOA in Fairbanks. Did a pre-meet with Alana the day before our scheduled walks. Alana was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She came 2 days to take our dog out for a walk while we were on tours in the area. She was easy to contact, communicated very well, and even sent pics and the walk they did with notes! Great experience! We would use Alana again if in the area!”
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.
About: Hi! My name is Kristen. I work as vet tech and have been working with animals my entire life. I have a love and passion for dogs and other animals and would love to care for them while you are gone! They are welcome to stay right in our home and become part of the family! I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at my local humane society and fostering and rehabilitating dogs for many years. I have years of experience caring for and training sled dogs.

We also have direct access to the Goldstream trails right from our property (which I hike very frequently with the dogs) We have a small team of sled dogs that are also part of our family. They are fenced off in a separate yard, but all are very friendly. If you have a dog that loves to play, we basically have our own dog park right here with lots of friendly dogs! I have several dogs that absolutely love to play with other dogs and would love to meet your dog. Please contact me if interested! I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I am very active with my own dogs and your dog is welcome to join right in! We play tons of fetch, go swimming and hiking, as well as dog sledding and skijoring in the winter.

About: I have taken care of my family and friends fur babies for two years both in my home and at their home. They entrusted me to feed and walk them while they were away. Additionally, there are discounts provided for two or more pets to be cared for and loved during your time away. Dog bathing is provided for an additional fee, if interested, in the comfort of your home so your pets are refreshed before you arrive home to them. My time at home has allowed me to love and care for my own animals, but to also provide a loving and nurturing environment for yours as well while in my care. Safety is number one in our home! Additionally, I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own to easily make your fur baby feel welcomed, loved, and cared during their time with us. Please understand that I do not stay in the home of others due to that I have animals of my own that need their mama home to take care of them and assist with their needs, but I am still available for house visits upon requests.
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I can walk multiple dogs at once and love to spend time with cat. I am currently working full time at the blood bank so I cannot guarantee potty breaks during the day, but with Alaska daylight I can guarantee walks if needed. I have had a dog my whole life, I do not offer boarding personally but I can ensure that your pets will be safe with me.

Currently a stay at home with two dogs, one frenchie and one husky mix. I can feed on a strict schedule, take walks, play, anything required has my 100% attention. I have plenty of leashes at my home, do not have a fenced in yard of my own. Dogs can be separated at meal time and potty breaks are often.
About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.
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 believe dogs, like people, need exercise and play time, and lots of love! I am so excited to play with your dogs! I will treat your pets and your home with the care and affection I would exercise on my own home. Animals and hiking are my true passions, so being out in nature with your pup is always a dream come true for me. We will stay active and engaged together to distract them from how much they miss you. Please check out my ample references. I have owned, cared for, and trained dogs all my life, and I love to fill my life with their infectious positivity. I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns, and I will reply as soon as possible! I like to help anyone who needs help! People aren't traveling as much as they used to, so I also clean houses, refinish decks, and am a notary public. I prioritize the pet care, and make my other puzzle pieces fit around your fur babies. I have 24.5 acres- 22 of it is an extensive old forest network with trails weaving around. The meadow area would make a great place to play fetch and enjoy the environment. The attention, exercise and great smelling work will keep your dog engaged and happy in your absence.

“So grateful to have found Kristen! Things worked out perfectly, great communication before and during my trip, she kept me updated on things, shared pics and videos of my dog during her stay with Kristen. I knew Rosey was in good hands and didn’t spend any time worrying about any of it! Definitely will be reaching out again next time I need a dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren went above and beyond our expectations. She's super friendly and was very welcoming to our pups. She kept great communication and sent many photo updates, keeping us confident our pups were in good hands while on vacation. Nothing feels better than knowing your animals are safe and given love while you're away! She even had to handle an unexpected trip to the vet for one pup and had to administer meds for 2 days. We really are satisfied and are looking forward to the next vacation when we can work 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”
“Weslyn did an awesome job watching Jojo. She updated me every day, offered to replace his food if he were to run out, and was extremely flexible with constant scheduling issues that happened on my end. Not only was she flexible, but was gracious and patient regarding the changes as well. Upon return, though I planned on picking Jojo up from Weslyn's residence, she drove to me instead because my car had been buried in the snow. Jojo was happy and taken care of, and Weslyn's professional attitude made being away from my pup easier.”
“My dog was happy when we dropped him off and happy when we picked him up! He looked comfy and right at home in the photos we received. Communication with Tiffany was clear, quick, and friendly, and she was flexible when weather interfered with our travel plans. Would definitely ask her to look after my dog again!”
“Our dog Steve had a great time with Julie-Ann. She took great care of him and sent at least one picture a day. I highly recommend Julie-Ann and her husband, and we will definitely try to use her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Leslie was amazing! Very communicative and sent us plenty of photos of our sweet Daisy. We had a change in our travel plans and Leslie was flexible and allowed us to extend by 2 days with no issues. She is affordable and incredibly qualified and loving with pets! We will book with her 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!”
“My dog had a blast and learned new things from kaycee's dogs. I am so grateful that she was ale to take my dog at the last minute and was willing to adapt when my flight was delayed.”
“Andrea was awesome! We booked with her for a few days and didn’t have any issues. She communicated quickly and consistently kept us updated as well provided pictures. She was also very flexible with the drop off/ pickup times. I would definitely recommend her”
