“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.”
“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 :)”
“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”
“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!”
“When I picked up my dog, he was calm and happy. Lauren and her family did a great job with him and I think he is a better dog after having been with them than before dropping him off! I will definitely reach out to her again if I need dog care again.”
“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.”
“Breanna did a great job keeping my kitty over the weekend while I went out of town. She sent me pictures and let me know she was doing well. She was ready to go (all packed up) when I went to pick her up. She seems to have had a great weekend, and I appreciate being able to leave her in a safe and loving place!”
“Kristen was awesome with Lucy. I was incredibly nervous to leave her for 2 weeks, but Kristen made sure to send me pictures and videos and put up with my crazy dog mom questions. She put my mind at ease, and Lucy absolutely loved playing with her other dogs. 100% would recommend her. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“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.”
“Julie was awesome. This was the first time I was away from my dog due to work, and Julie did an awesome job. She was sending pictures and keeping me updated on my pet. I will absolutely use her services again if needed.”
“Miranda was extremely kind and helpful and worked around my schedule and payment options, she housed my cat for ten days and updated mr consistently, thank you so much!”
“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!”
“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”
“The best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Hands down. Shadow fit right in with her other dogs and she treated him like he was her own! She sent pictures and videos every single day, kept him active, and gave him all the love in the world!”

“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!”

While Tobin was with her and her family I got lots of pupdates; pictures and videos. Tobin clearly got lots of exercise and came home healthy and happier than when I dropped him off. I’m looking forward to boarding with Shaiann in the future!”

“Mallory was the most incredible cat sitter! She managed to medicate our old, ornery hat twice a day! Mallory was responsive, sent lots of photos, and gave updates regularly. Thank you Mallory!!!”
“Joanne was very reliable. I was a little nervous to leave my kitten for the very first time with a stranger. She did a great job getting my sweet but shy girl to come out of her shell. By the end of the week they were playing and cuddling.”
“Amazing, was the perfect sitter for my baby kitty. Made me feel like he was in safe hands the whole time, and had regular updates when expected. Thank you and if I can I’ll rehire 💕💕💕💕”
“Kalista was great with our cat! She was very attentive and even alerted us to changes in her litter box habits. She took lots of pictures during her drop ins which we really appreciated too! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Ashley was just lovely to work with--our plans kept changing and she just rolled with it. It was very much appreciated. We have one cat that hides out and have had people stay with us before that never saw her once in a week. That cat was out and being sociable shortly after Ashley arrived which astonished me. She sent regular updates and pictures which was very kind of her since I'm a worrier by nature. Ashley is definitely on my list to contact when we travel again.”
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!
“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!!”
“Emma did drop in visits with my very timid rabbit and was awesome with her. She was very reliable, thoughtful and patient, ensuring my rabbit was healthy and well cared for, reporting on each visit and sending photos. I will definitely request Emma again and highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs in Alaska since 2014, including sled dog kennel experience and caring for pets in their own homes. I’m most familiar with huskies and other active breeds, and I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin. I’ve also had four senior dogs of my own over the years, so I have a soft spot in my heart for "oldies" and understand the extra patience, routine, and gentle care older pets often need. While most of my hands-on experience in my adult life has been with dogs, I grew up with cats and I'm very comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing calm, reliable care for cats as well. I work full-time locally and care for my own dogs as well, so I focus on maintaining a realistic schedule and providing dependable, attentive care. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and communicate clearly so owners know what to expect. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. I always try to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions from the owner. With my background working around sled dogs and active breeds, I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure gates and doors, weather conditions, and reading animal behavior. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that owners may want to know about. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space respectfully. My goal is to provide a calm presence while the owner is away. I also believe communication is important, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits or stays.
About: I was raised on a homestead and absolutely adore animals. I am very professional and I promise your pets will love me. I love to run around and play with dogs outside, or chill inside and play with cats. I am looking for weekend jobs and evening jobs. I am working at an elementary school so I am unavailable from 8-4:15 until the end of May. I am very energetic and will tired out your hyper fur babies. I would love to take them on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch, or even brush them and give them all the love they want.
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 been an animal lover my whole life❤️ I have plenty of experience training, loving, and caring for my own dogs, family members, friends, neighbors and even working at a doggy daycare! I am happy to meet for a coffee beforehand and chat about myself and your fur baby(s) to make sure we are a good fit for eachother. Please note: I DO NOT accept aggressive or overly nervous dogs. If you are requesting an overnight stay, please make sure that there is a CLEAN, COMFORTABLE space for me to sleep. I’m currently working a part time job, so I have plenty of free time during my week to care for your fur babies! If you request an overnight stay, please note that depending on the day I may have to leave for a few hours during the day for work. I am available any day of the week depending on the care that you are needing. I am very respectful of your home. I am honored to be trusted with such a great responsibility and my main priority will always be your pets safety, fun comes next of course😁
“She was absolutely lovely the entire time.I booked her to watch my cat for nearly two weeks, and she provided constant updates, was flexible and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend her.”
“Very positive experience. We were even a last minute request and she was still able to find the time to help us. Mary was very considerate of our needs, maintained clear communication, and was patient while helping us work out how to use the Rover app. Our kitties were well tended to and everything went well with her as our sitter. 10/10, fully recommended to anyone needs their animals watched.”

“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: 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: 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.
“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.”
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 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
“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!”

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.
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.

“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!”

“Was available last minute, even offered to go above and beyond just to make sure my animals were happy for the long day I had at work. Kalista sent me tons of pictures which for me is a must! My animals were instantly comfortable with her, which for Jasper it says a lot. I am very satisfied on her communication and her willingness to help with the animals. Speaks volumes of a sitter!!”
About: I have been working with dogs and cats in rescue and rehabilitation settings for over 16 years, across the gamut of shelter volunteering, high need fostering, and medical / rehabilitation support. I take caring for and walking dogs and cats extremely seriously, as all animals have different needs and boundaries that keeps everyone safe to be respected. 12 years ago I adopted one of my highest need medical foster dogs to help her thrive better outside the rescue system, I spent the last decade plus caring for her medically and giving her the happiest life she could have, but sadly brain cancer took her earlier this year. I am looking to get involved again with animals that may need help, from as big to in house support to as little as a walk so they can relieve themselves while their parents are at work. I currently work flexibly from home, so have the ability to help your pets during what are typical in-office hours for most! I also have some availability for in house overnight sitting I have over a decade of experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments. I understand through my rescue work how to properly engage with anxious or high energy animals so as to ensure the best safety for all parties. I also listen and follow pet parent directions to the letter when provided detailed routines or steps. I have extensive experience with elderly and special needs dogs, and can administer oral and topical medications when instructed by the pet parent how the individual pet best receives them.
“Rhonda saves the day once again! I have times I get called in to work and I’m away for several hrs. Levi loves to have Rhonda walk him or just drop-in when the weathers yucky. Thank you Ms Rhonda! 💕”
“Jodi has been our regular dog walker in town for many months. She is friendly, reliable, and loves the animals. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel safe with the person caring for their pets.”
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.
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.
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 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.

“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 :)”
“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”
“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!”
“When I picked up my dog, he was calm and happy. Lauren and her family did a great job with him and I think he is a better dog after having been with them than before dropping him off! I will definitely reach out to her again if I need dog care again.”
“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.”
“Breanna did a great job keeping my kitty over the weekend while I went out of town. She sent me pictures and let me know she was doing well. She was ready to go (all packed up) when I went to pick her up. She seems to have had a great weekend, and I appreciate being able to leave her in a safe and loving place!”
“Kristen was awesome with Lucy. I was incredibly nervous to leave her for 2 weeks, but Kristen made sure to send me pictures and videos and put up with my crazy dog mom questions. She put my mind at ease, and Lucy absolutely loved playing with her other dogs. 100% would recommend her. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“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.”
“Julie was awesome. This was the first time I was away from my dog due to work, and Julie did an awesome job. She was sending pictures and keeping me updated on my pet. I will absolutely use her services again if needed.”
“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”
“The best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Hands down. Shadow fit right in with her other dogs and she treated him like he was her own! She sent pictures and videos every single day, kept him active, and gave him all the love in the world!”

“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!”
“Shaiann was awesome with Tobin, she went out of her way to make time to do a meet and greet and was really flexible with my pickup and drop off times. While Tobin was with her and her family I got lots of pupdates; pictures and videos. Tobin clearly got lots of exercise and came home healthy and happier than when I dropped him off. I’m looking forward to boarding with Shaiann in the future!”
