Personalized care for your dog or cat - Douglas
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Douglas
“Christy did a great job watching our boy. He had some anxiety after we left, and she was in constant communication with us to ask questions and find a solution. We would highly recommend Christy, we knew our dog was in good, caring hands.”
“Bug clearly enjoyed his stay with Brooke (3 nights)! I really appreciated her quick communication and flexibility in setting up alternative plans when severe weather and a flight delay juggled plans. She also helped me navigate working with the app and made sure things were billed correctly. In other words, she was easy to work with and provided great customer service.”

About: I try and make a friend of every cat a come across! Ive grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life and have even helped a few while they have had kittens! I will make sure your cats and kittens feel comfortable with me while i take care of them! :)
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of animals all of my life. I am a travel healthcare worker and would love some animal love while here. I work full time at the hospital, often working odd days and some weird hours. I have my car, so am able to travel wherever needed. I care for pets like they are one of my own. I can offer supportive care and lots of pets and love while watching them.
About: I’ve loved and cared for family pets since I was 7. Since then, I’ve taken care of pets of friends and neighbors, including walking, feeding, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I have a flexible schedule. I’m able to stop by for walks and feeding in the morning and evenings, as well as midday checkups, if need be. I am happy to care for pets in your home and outside. I am careful when it comes to treating your pets as you would, following along with the rules and schedules they are used to.
About: My family has always had a soft spot for taking in strays since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a cat around me and absolutely adore them. I currently travel too much to have a cat, but that’s why I have been cat sitting since college. I understand cats well and would love to take care of your fur baby :)
About: I have tons of pet experience! I grew up my whole life with dogs and cats. I have volunteered at animal shelters. My family has fostered dogs for about 10 years. I worked at a doggie daycare and spa for 2 years. I have also personally rescued stray animals whenever I come across them. I am working full time, so I can be available after 5pm weekdays. However, I telework on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I’ll be home to take care of pups! I’m also available on weekends. I have a fenced yard and my sweet dog Lucy to keep your dog company! I also have a cat, but I am able to restrict him to the upstairs if your dog is not a cat person lol. Pets are allowed on the furniture unless specified otherwise.
About: There has never been a time in my life without a dog being a part of it. They are my loves. I have worked at a small shelter in Florida with an average of 30 dogs in my care. I have also volunteered with the Denali National Park kennels where I provided one-on-one care to a member of their sled dog team. From puppies to seniors I can adjust to whatever their needs and activity levels. I have a full time job and can provide care in the afternoons. If full time care is needed and far enough in advance notice is given, my work is flexible with time off. Just communicate to me what your pet's daily routine requires and what their daily needs are and I will happily oblige. No request is too outlandish as my own pup has her own long list of needs.
“Cristy put me at ease from the moment I dropped off my baby girl. It is because of her I was able to relax and not worry during some quality holiday family time. Her flexibility and last minute booking was also so helpful. My kitty we found out does not like other cats outside her own home (Cristy’s cats) but Cristy did a wonderful job and was so patient with my kitty who was hissing at her sweet cats. She kept me up to date with photos and behavior my whole trip. Her kids were an added bonus! Kitty really bonded with her daughter who let her sleep/cuddle with her in bed! I would absolutely book with Cristy again and you can trust her with your precious animal! Thanks Cristy and family!”
“We have had Mary watch our cat multiple times and she does such a great job! Very timely and communicative, she sends photos and updates daily, and you can tell she really loves animals! It always helps me enjoy being away more feeling confident that my pet is being well cared for:)”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats for years, and enjoy getting to know each cats personality. I’ve cared for a senior cat most recently, and administered his medications to make sure he stayed healthy and happy. I even lived with my roommates cat for a semester, and had the privilege of caring for him while his mom was away :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Douglas
About: I learned dog training from a book by The Monks of New Skeet. I have had dogs since I was a child and have been a volunteer at Anchorage animal shelter and Hawaii Humane Society, Waimea. I have also done dog sitting on a regular basis for five dogs in Anchorage. I am retired and enjoy taking doggies for lots of walks. I enjoy their company and treat them with lots of love. I am home most days with the exception of appointments and errands. I have access to an ideal dog walking area behind my residence. I love dogs and give them free access to my dwelling. I love playing with dogs and can easily walk them down to Sandy Beach to play ball, frisbee or whatever.
About: Hi there! I’m available for dog walking, house sitting and drop-ins. My experience- I have been around dogs my whole life and have worked in pet care for many years- I have been taking care of dogs on Rover since 2019; I worked at a doggy day care (Camp Bow Wow); I fostered shelter dogs; have pet sat for friends and family; and have taken care of my family dogs. I have experience with dogs as young as one year old with lots of energy to seniors with disabilities. I love dogs- I believe they deserve the best lives possible and I want to help you out, too! I’m available much of the week until mid-June, then not sure, and my weekend schedule varies. Feel free to message me and we can see if our schedules align! I provide lots of attention, care and fun! I will always keep you updated on how your poochie is doing and of course contact you if there are any issues.
About: I have had dogs for 25+ years and have cared for numerous family and friends' dogs throughout the years as well. My family and I have always enjoyed having dogs around! I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which means I will have lots of time to play with your adorable fur children! I do have to drop off and pick up my oldest from school M-F, but we are usually only away from the house for 10-15 minutes total. Since I am a stay-at-home mom, I am able to go on daily walks, multiple times throughout the day. We also have a 7 year old and a 1 year old, both who absolutely adore dogs of all breeds. My husband is also a dog lover and will help in giving extra snuggles, walks and play time!
About: I have taken care of many animals throughout my life including dogs, cats, birds, horses and fish. With a very flexible schedule I can offer lots of attention, walks and potty breaks. Also, this allows me to do frequent drop-ins if you would like your pet to stay at home. Sapulpa, my 14 yr. old, deaf mini-schnauzer, loves meeting new friends! She’s definitely in her grandma years so she loves sleeping more than playing these days, but somehow finds the energy to play with any new friends. I have an awesome stay at home job that allows drop-in visits, walks, and doggie daycare. I can also watch your pet(s) overnight in the comfort of my home. Frequent potty breaks, walks, play time, rest time, etc. I can take your pet on long walks or short walks based on the pets needs.
“Gentry and her family do a wonderful job of looking after my puppy "Newton" when i am otherwise occupied. They make sure he gets all the exercise and socialization a puppy could ever want and when i bring him home at the end of the day, he is usually so tuckered out its like he's on his best behavior! They spend the day playing with him, working on his commands and have been doing a stellar job of getting him used to walking on leash. They feed him his meals and make sure he can have naps when he gets tired. Initially i was a little worried bringing my brand new pup to a stranger during the day, but Gentry is so friendly and obviously skilled/experienced with puppies that they alleviated my worries before even the first meetup. I was concerned with him being in the "nippy" phase, that he could be problematic, but they have handled him excellently. Thank you Gentry and your family for the awesome dog care! I will defiantly be bringing newt back to you whenever he needs dog sitting!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Douglas
“Gigi was very receptive to my wishes for my dogs. Both my dogs suffer from a range of reactivity issues and Gigi handled them so wonderfully. She showed such love and compassion toward them. They are looking forward to their weekly walks with her!”
“Polaris was very punctual and professional! She also quickly made a strong relationship with my usually shy/lazy dog, which i really appreciated! I will absolutely book with Polaris again!”
About: For nearly 20 years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own pets and friends’ animals, providing them with feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and lots of reliable care. I currently work remotely and set my own schedule, which allows me to provide cat sitting during regular business hours (evening visits are typically okay as well), seven days a week. I’m flexible when needed, within reason. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I don’t offer care in my own residence because I have two cats who don’t mix well with other pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, while keeping their space clean and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and many different breeds over the past 12+ years. I have experience with special needs dogs and puppies as well! I’m currently working part-time but have availability most weekends, especially Sun-Mon. I also love to workout and run, so I’d love to bring your dogs along with me on my runs if interested! I have a big backyard that is electrically fenced, and I live near many nice walking trails. I also have a puppy at home that is very friendly and loves playing with other pups!
About: I am ready to look after your sweet dogs! I have been an animal lover for my whole life, and have a wide variety of experiences with dogs and paying attention to their unique needs. All animals communicate, and I'm ready to hear what your dogs have to say. As I have over 10 years of experience looking after my own dogs and dog sitting, I am well prepared to handle anything your dogs might try to throw at me (usually I throw for them, I adore a game of fetch). I am a great snuggler as well as an enthusiastic outdoors person. Your pet will probably go hiking, berry picking, or snowshoeing! I love an adventure buddy. Your pet's comfort and happiness are of utmost priority. I am here to keep them happy, and give you peace of mind. I am currently working a flexible part time, so I will have plenty of time for your pups. I have availability for dog sitting, but I am available during the day for walks as well. I want your dog to be comfortable, which makes staying in your space while dog sitting a priority. I would prefer to adapt to their space than them to mine. I'd love to know what their favorite treats and comfortable spot are in your house.
About: I’ve owned pets all my life. From cats, dogs, rats, fish, chameleons and snakes, I love them all! I’m heavily trusted by friends and family whenever they need care for their animals. We also love a long walk in this alaskan rainforest. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I have a pretty light work schedule until summertime rolls in, so I have lots of time to walk and play! I’m available for play dates, drop ins, and walks most days depending on the time. Currently Thursdays and Fridays are completely open. I have a lovely humble one bedroom apartment downtown. My 9 year old Shepard mix lives here with me. We go on long walks on the flume and perseverance trail, and visit the dog park and beach for swimming. I love taking dogs out on adventures and getting them tired! There’s nothing that makes me happier than being out with them.
“I needed help with dog walking super last-minute and Lauryn was very flexible and responsive. I really appreciate her taking great care of my senior dog and would recommend you reach out to her!”
About: I’ve grown up having multiple dogs of my own. From small to big, I love spending time with the pups. Whether they need to stay home and hang out or run some laps outside, I’ll help with either:) I do work 5 days a week but will be committed to tending to pets when you require. Immediately before + after work whether it’s just stopping by or staying for overnight, I will be there! :) I can easily crate dogs if necessary. I’ve had kennel-trained dogs of my own in the past. If they need outdoor supervision, they will be supervised. Indoors, they will have my company anywhere in the home
About: I worked in a doggy boarding/daycare facility for over a year as a Kennel Tech, which gave me experience in all ages, breeds, and sizes. Ive also got lots of knowledge in animal behavior, as I had to run behaviorist tests on each one to group them properly for play camp. Your furry friends deserve a knowledgeable & understanding caregiver, and I’m your girl! I’m currently unemployed, as I just moved here from TN not long ago. Aside from caring for my two year old son, I have unlimited time! Working with pups has been a passion of mine for over two years & I’ve got all the time in the world to spend with yours while you’re away! Your fur baby can be crated as needed, although it’s unlikely. But if a crate is not present, a lead will do to keep them safe!
“Lisa is phenomenal. There’s not enough words to describe my appreciation for her! Miss Sadie has a great time on all of their adventures, and we’re incredibly grateful for all she does!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs for 15 years and love spending time with and caring for them. I’ve had 3 puppies at once and cared for a senior dog for years! I currently have no in-person obligations, so I am free every day any time of the week to be there for your pets, early mornings and late nights! I am able to care for your pets in your home, and I have trustworthy transportation to safely take them on adventures (if you’d like!).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life! I’ve lived in Alaska for 3 years now and with my 2 year old lab, Hobbes. I’m very active and outdoorsy person who understands the juggles of work and making sure you pet is cared for! Happy to follow whatever routine you and your pet have or any other pet care requests! My works hours fluctuate a lot during the week and weekend. I am off during the day on some days and working nights other days. I sometimes work weekends. So I’ll be very open and upfront if my schedule doesn’t align with your pet’s care routine! I am huge on meeting you and your pet prior to beginning services to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with me prior to drop-ins or walks! I am happy to bring my dog, Hobbes, or leave him at home. My top goal is to be flexible to whatever your pet’s needs are to ensure you and your pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: My mom is a lover of dogs, so naturally, growing up with at least 10 at a time, I became a dog lover too. Our dogs ranged from 100 lbs to 5 lbs, and as you can imagine, each with very unique personalities. Taking care of animals is second nature to me. I also had the pleasure of owning multiple cats, birds, bunnies and yes, even ducks! I have a lot of energy & love to excersize, so going to the park, on a walk, a run or to the beach is something I sincerely enjoy doing :) Unfortunately, as per my renters lease, I cannot allow animals into my home but will be happy to walk/care for and/or animal sit at your home! I work seasonal (summer job), and have all the time for animal care in the winter! I can accommodate any schedule that your animal is used to. I prefer a meet and greet prior, so that I can fully understand and run through your schedule with your pet/pets. I believe it is important to maintain that schedule for them while you are away.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was very young. From dogs, to cats, to rats, to anything in between - I love all animals! Neighbors and friends, and family alike - have all relied on me to care for their fur babies. I have experience in older pets and younger pets, and also have administered medication, followed special diets, etc. Animals are no different than humans, and I personally treat my fur babies as such - MY BABIES. I would love to have the opportunity to love on your fur child, too! I’m picky about who gets to have my pets when I’m away, so I want to ensure you will have peace of mind when your pets are with me! I currently work full-time, but I am flexible during the week. I am a state employee, so I am off on all holidays, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats in my home. Our yard is large and is fenced, allowing for lots of outdoor exercise. I am situated in a nice neighborhood with access to many trails. I will ensure your furry friend gets all the attention they need! I allow my pets to be free roaming and allow them to sleep in bed with us at night but can accommodate any needs you may have. We are active adults (more in the summer than the winter), however; if your furry friend is more laid back, we have no issue doing that, too. *I disinfect and sanitize my home daily with a steam mop using high temperature steam to ensure your pets (and mine!) coexist in a clean environment, free of germs (but not dirt! 😉) Beginning Jan. 1 2023, I will be integrating meet & greet checklists for all *new* clients to fill out. This will allow me to know all the important information about your furry friend, including emergency contact info, yours (the owner) and a secondary, Veterinary information, allergies, feeding schedule and more!
