“Kristen was great with our two pups, both had a great time. Each dog’s needs were catered to. My ‘old lady’ could hang out inside with the couch group and the puppy could play with the other pups. They came back home so tired in the best way!”
“Rhonda was amazing she sent pictures throughout the whole stay and she walked Pixie every day. Lastly, when I picked up my dog she was very happy and it was like she never changed.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tiffany was a fantastic sitter. She was so kind, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our pup. Her dog Barb is a gentle giant and got along well with our dog, as well. We highly recommend and would absolutely use Tiffany again! Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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”
“Kaycee is a wonderful person who responded faster than anyone else i tried to reach. You can tell she loves dogs and treated or Blu like he was part of her family. We are so very happy we found her and had a chance to enjoy the Chena Hot Spring knowing Blu was well cared for. Thanks again Kaycee”
“Abigail did awesome with my dog. She took care providing my dog with activities, keeping me updated frequently while I was out of town for work. I will rebook with her and no doubts about it. Highly recommend. Thank you Abigail.”
“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!”
“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!”

“Joanne was beyond amazing. She has a clear love for cats. They were both given her full undivided attention during her drop in visits and I couldn’t have asked for more. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Mallory did an amazing job with drop in visits for my two cats while my boyfriend and I were on vacation abroad! After a terrible boarding experience I was nervous to have someone watch them, but Mallory made me feel so at ease! She was very communicative and you could tell she truly loves animals! One of my cats even opened my freezer and everything melted- Mallory was kind enough to go above and beyond and empty it out for me so we didn’t come home to a mess of a house! We will absolutely book with her again for any future travels!!”
“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 :)”
“Kalista was wonderful to our cats! We've got a couple weirdos and she rolled with them perfectly. Kalista is an excellent communicator and understood our priorities perfectly. Thank you so much Kalista!”
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.
“Emma is outstanding and will take great care of your pets/residence. My old animals were treated very kindly and my house was kept very clean. I would absolutely recommend her. She has superb communication and flexibility!”
About: When I was in 2nd - 3rd Grade I volunteered at the local shelter in my town every summer an was to young to work with dogs so I’d hangout with the cats at home then I had 4 cats and have since always had cats in my house at the time I cannot clean cat boxes due to health reasons but still enjoy my kittens company

“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I have a wide variety of experience working with animals. I spent years working at animal shelters and boarding kennels, have fostered over 30 rescue dogs with behavioral issues, helped train search and rescue and sled dogs. I also have two wonderful rescue pups of my own :) I love dogs and other animals of all ages, temperaments, and sizes and would love the chance to care for yours! I have experience giving medications as well and, if this service is required, you can feel confident that medications will be given on time and accurately. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated kindly and as one of my own. I would be happy to work with any special needs or requirements and do whatever it takes to keep you and your pet happy. I like to go with the energy of the pups I have in the house- if it feels like a lazy morning, we will relax and cuddle until we are ready to go. Other times we can get up and moving, hitting the trails as the sunrise is coming up. I am pretty high-energy myself and will be sure to exercise your pup regularly/get their energy out! I do not have a fenced yard but will be outside with your pups while they are at all times. If you are most comfortable with them remaining on-leash, I will happily leash-walk them for potty breaks.
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.

“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: 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. I have been training my own dogs for a variety of sports such as Obedience, Rally, and Agility, Dock diving, and Barn Hunt for over ten years as well. I have worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for several years where I was constantly working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments (I love them all)! I also have experience pet sitting dogs in my home for many years. I have been working as a vet tech for the past 8 years. I have a flexible work schedule with a 3 hour lunch break and only about 5 minutes away from home. Your dog is never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We live just outside of town in a secluded and private area of Goldstream. We have a large fenced in yard for your dog to play in. 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. References available upon request. I work several days per week as a vet tech, but have a 3 hour lunch break in the middle of the day. Your dog is never left alone for more than about 4 hours. I have big fenced in yards with two very friendly house dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into my home and treated just like my own dogs.
“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.
“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: 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: 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.

“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.

Great experience! We would use Alana again if in the area!”

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.
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.
Over 980,000 dogs traded couch time for play time with Doggy Day Care on Rover1

“Kristen was great with our two pups, both had a great time. Each dog’s needs were catered to. My ‘old lady’ could hang out inside with the couch group and the puppy could play with the other pups. They came back home so tired in the best way!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tiffany was a fantastic sitter. She was so kind, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our pup. Her dog Barb is a gentle giant and got along well with our dog, as well. We highly recommend and would absolutely use Tiffany again! Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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”
“Kaycee is a wonderful person who responded faster than anyone else i tried to reach. You can tell she loves dogs and treated or Blu like he was part of her family. We are so very happy we found her and had a chance to enjoy the Chena Hot Spring knowing Blu was well cared for. Thanks again Kaycee”
“Abigail did awesome with my dog. She took care providing my dog with activities, keeping me updated frequently while I was out of town for work. I will rebook with her and no doubts about it. Highly recommend. Thank you Abigail.”
“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!”
“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”
