“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Julie was great.! We were delayed over the holidays and she was very helpful in accommodating our change. Our Maizey was very well taken care of and seemed relaxed & happy upon picking her up.”

“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Kip was happy to see us when we returned, but also seemed sad to leave. Huw and Jolene always take such great care of him. I appreciate that I never have to worry if we can't bring our pup along on a trip.”
“Nice family and home, knowledgeable and worked with our puppy on behavior skills, and had great communication with us. 10/10 would love to have our Lucy stay with them again.”

“A dog lover all of her life and a very supportive family that together made our dog feel completely at home. A fenced yard and 2 lovely dogs of her own rounded out our dog's stay. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Ashlee took amazing care of my dog, Charlie. This was the first time I’d ever used a boarding service, so I was very nervous. Ashlee even sent me pictures of Charlie during her stay. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Ashlee’s care of my puppy. 11/10 highly recommended!”
“Suzanne was highly responsive for booking and accommodating for drop off/pick up. While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.”
“Kiara and Alejandro took amazing care of Canelo while I was away. Canelo has a blast running around their yard with their dogs all day long, got plenty of pets and cuddles from their family. They provided me updates to let me know Canelo was getting along well and getting plenty of activity. I would absolutely love to have them take care of Canelo for any futures trips. Can’t thank them enough.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Rachel watched our cats for us while we were away, administered their meds, and left the house clean. We’d be happy to use her again! Thanks, Rachel!”
“Dorian was fantastic with my three cats, he was easy to communicate with, providing detailed and fun updates (and pictures!) each day, and making sure that they all my pets received appropriate attention. My kitties had a great time and he was so thoughtful with playing with my high energy kitten, and then giving my older guys extra love and treats. I trust him to watch my house and pets any time, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future, thank you Dorian!”
“Erica was so friendly and easy to work with. She helped me tailor the booking to our exact needs and helped make the process really east for me. My cat, Cricket, warmed up to her right away, and Erica made sure to get all the necessary information to take care of her while I was gone. My cat takes medicine and has a prescription diet and Erica made sure she got everything she needed, plus brushing and playtime. She even sent me regular updates with pictures. Having her watch my sweet senior kitty really set my mind at ease. Thank you Erica!”
“Whitney took such good care of our cat while we were gone. She was very thorough with her care and provided us updates and photos daily. We will certainly be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop in care. :)”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.
“Alejandra was amazing with our cats and was also kind enough to bring in packages from outside and help us with another favor! She also always sent great pictures of our cats! Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets.”
“Lindsey has definitely earned a repeat client with me! She loves my kittys as her own and very professional. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable with her, and she wants to earn their trust. Great experience, definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. They’re my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because I’m used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, I’m happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So I’m available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life thanks to my grandma, who always had them. Spending time with and helping care for her cats gave me experience with different personalities, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Selena did a fantastic job looking after my three cats!!! I loved getting pics of them each visit and her pricing was very fair!! Highly recommend, I will be booking her for my next out of town trip”
About: Love to walk and hike, have one lovable six year lab mix that is super friendly and still thinks he's young and would love to take your dog out. I am busy most of the day but am able to house sit and/or walk your dog rain/snow or shine alone or with my lab mix. I have a six year old lab mix that could stay home, or can walk with your dog on walks/hikes. My dog loves everyone and other dogs.
“Ashley did a great job checking in on Halibut. She sent us pictures of her everyday and was prompt about checking in and out. Thank you and will be rebooking in the future!”
“We are so grateful that Sarah took such good care of our house and cats while we were away for two weeks. She sent us pictures each night, and cleaned up the house before we got home. It was nice knowing she was taking care of everything so we could enjoy vacation!”
“Sydney was awesome. Super great with communication, attention to detail and she stayed at our house while we were away. Cats were well taken care of and we’d use Sydney again in an instant. Thank you!!!”

“Sharon and Michael are great people— I can tell they are passionate about dogs and they do an excellent job at watching Aurora & Loki on the days we are working long 12 hour shifts. They are fed, socialized, and having a fun time with other doggies 🐶❤️ they kept us updated with photos during their stay. Their backyard is very spacious for the doggies and they absolutely love running and playing around in their backyard when they are outside. When the doggies get home, Aurora & Loki have expelled their energy at doggie day care and will often settle into bed after getting home. A tired dog is a happy dog 🐶 thank you again Sharon & Mike!”
“I absolutely love Trey. She was super kind and loved my dog as if she were her own. It was our first time doing doggy sitting and Trey was very transparent about my dog getting a cut on her face. I didn't mind, since dogs are like that, but the fact that she was up front and honest meant a lot to me. I will be using her services continually in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else who wants their babies to be treated with love and care.”
“Absolutely perfect!!!!! Zhenya went above and beyond making our boys feel right at home. When I picked them up, they were clean & exhausted from a full day of playing . Her and her family were extremely accommodating and flexible as our timeline changed with little notice. I would recommend and use Zhenya again, Thank you!! XO”
“Can’t brag on Ashley enough! She is a absolute sweetheart and is so amazing with my pup Nova. She watches Nova weekly while I work and never fails to communicate on how Nova is doing throughout the day and is always flexible with her time. Nova has the BEST TIME at Ashley’s and loves playing with her dogs. Thank you for treating Nova like you’re own ❤️”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own, family pets, and even strays. I’ve cared for dogs at all life stages—from puppies to seniors. I’ve always had a big heart for animals—they’re amazing and truly deserve our love. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I am currently stay at home wife, my schedule is pretty flexible so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your puppy. We can talk and work out on the schedule that would work best for you. I have fenced yard and two puppies to keep your fur baby company, they either play in side the house or outside depending on the weather because I consider safety first; but while they’re in the house I can keep them occupied and busy with playing, puzzle games, they can roam around the house but I always keep my eyes on them or I can create them if pet parents needed; I have camera to monitor them.
“Chelsea was amazing! Our dog is a big ball of energy and she handled him like a champ! We got updates with pictures and videos of Lefty playing in the huge yard with their dog, Tok and even the cat! He came home happy as can be! Thank you again!”

About: Hi! Both my husband and I have grown up in Alaska helping care for small chihuahuas all the way up to wolf-hybrids. We are a fun and loving couple with 2 small doodles of our own, 3 stories of house to play in, a small backyard/potty area, and located right next to a doggy park. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home permanently, so I am able to provide care all day long for your fur baby. While I work, typically my two doodles spend their time snacking and watching TV! Once the work day is up, to the park we go! I have two miniature sized doodles to keep your dog company. Additionally, we have many toys available to play with, ample treats, and a small backyard area for potty with an additional park right next door. Both of my doodles are fixed and crate trained. :)
About: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees last year :( We miss him. We would like to watch another dog because our shihtzu is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 1 dog so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time since we also have a cat but may make an exception if from the same family . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. I'm also a professional photographer, so expect lot's of photos of your pup! When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally live out my hotel for dogs dreams. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the experience I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little kid. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and they are truly family to me. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my late dog, Roo, who battled cancer for about a year before we lost her in September. During that time, I gained experience providing medication, extra comfort, patience, and specialized care. I have a 1 year old puppy named Tilly and a 14 year old dog named Leo who keep me active and remind me every day how important exercise, playtime, routine, and affection are. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own! Whether your pup loves to play, go on walks, or curl up on the couch for cuddles, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care while staying with me. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work from 10am-4pm Monday to Thursday. Friday-Sunday I am off! Before and after work, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and plenty of space for dogs to relax indoors. My own dogs are friendly, playful, and very accustomed to being around other dogs. I carefully introduce pets with slow introduction so your dog won’t get overwhelmed. I follow each owner’s instructions, and maintain routines as closely as possible. I provide lots of attention, updates, and LOTS of photos throughout their stay!
“Faelyn was very careful with introducing my shy, reluctant dog to her two dogs. My dog loved playing in the large fenced in yard with her dogs and was welcomed like one of the family. I hope to use her services again.”
About: Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! I have recently lost my 17 yr old chihuahua so looking to have some more dog love in my life right now. Sincerely, Jackie I have a very flexible job as a vending machine owner/operator so I have lots of time to give love and walks to your fur baby! I like to keep pups stimulated with a variety of activities involving exercise, games and love. I enjoy creating fun games for them to do around the house!
“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”
“Tommy was wonderful to our 13 week lab puppy! We were worried about leaving her in a boarding kennel, so we chose Tommy to watch her while we enjoyed a fishing charter! The boat came back later than expected, and Tommy was so understanding ! He met us at the docks to pick up our dog and dropped her off which was so convenient !”
About: I’m Zoey, I’m 30 and from Texas, I’ve been in Alaska almost 9 years. Animal lover and plant enthusiast!! I’ve loved taking care of animals since I was a little girl, I’ve always felt connected to all walks of life, and found them extremely intriguing and inspiring. My friends and family have counted on me to walk and sit for their pets for years now, including cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, birds and plants and a couple reptiles here and there :) hope to meet ur pup soon! I’m an owner of almost 50 indoor house plants. Which calls for routine and not quite like an animal, but I love them that much, I love taking care of things is what I’m trying to say :-) I wanna spend more time with animals than humans, life’s ruff. I would absolutely love to meet your pets, and help maintain the overall health of their fitness, taking them on long walks or short, I’m ready for it! Will follow any instructions left and or schedules, about triggers and what to avoid or what to focus on
“Sage took wonderful care of Ollie who needed a quiet, loving environment while we went to dinner and a show. She showed great sensitivity to his special needs (he is recovering from surgery), and was very reassuring and professional with us throughout the process. We will definitely call upon Sage the next time we are in Ashland.”
“Aubrie and hubby were so lovely with our puppy! They were very flexible and accomodating when I had some pick up drama. Am booking again this week. Highly recommend!”

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages.

After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities.

About: Roughly two years ago, I received a call from a colleague asking to house sit for a weekend after a previous bad experience with boarding two dogs. Both with health issues and one of them not sociable with other dogs. My colleague came back to a clean home, garden watered, mail organized and the dogs very well loved and walked everyday. Ever since, I have housesat for anywhere from 48hrs to nearly 30 days at a time with zero issues. Bed time rituals, feeding songs, walking a slightly reactive dog, cuddling very closely at night were the priorities at the top of the to-do list. Now that two years have passed since that first call I have decided to try my hand at truly making dog walking/house sitting/drop-in playdates a side gig! I work 12hrs a day, rotating weeks 3 days or 4 days a week. Typically Wednesday/Thursday-Saturday off every week. I am up early most mornings in my time off, can make myself available for late nights Wednesday-Friday as well. In your home, I will follow all requests diligently, check all doors and windows before leaving or before bed. I am MANDT de-escalation trained, CPR/BLS certified and will soon be training to further my EMS-adjacent skillsets. In emergencies, I understand the importance of prioritizing the fur babies and keeping them out of harm’s way.
“Alejandra took excellent care of my dog Finn while I was on a 2 week long trip. Communication was excellent and I genuinely felt like she enjoyed spending time with Finn. Don’t hesitate to book Alejandra for whatever pet care needs you have - dog walking, house sitting, etc. She is very reliable and professional.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years and have had both cats and dogs my entire life. Growing up around pets gave me experience with animals of all ages and personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every time we’re together. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule outside of my classes. I plan my schedule carefully and will always communicate clearly to ensure your pet receives dependable, loving care. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home by following their normal routine and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated throughout each visit.
About: Since 2006, I’ve been a dedicated dog mom, foster, and senior caretaker. Whether we’re hitting the trails for daily adventures or I’m treating them to a relaxing massage, I’m all-in on canine care. And if the mood is right, I might even serenade them with a song! I’m officially trading the office life for more wagging tails! My schedule is wide open to build genuine, soulful connections with your pups through hikes, massages, and specialized senior care. I’m fully dedicated to my four-legged clients, though I always carve out "paws-on" time to ensure my own pack gets the same love and daily adventures they deserve. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family (and maybe even sings them a tune), I’m your person! I truly love caring for pups in the comfort of their own homes. I have a deep respect for the routines and systems you’ve already built—after all, you know your dog best! My goal is to honor those rhythms while gently building a soulful bond of my own. I’ll stick to your schedule to keep things peaceful and familiar, simply adding in my own little "extras"—like a calming massage, a happy song, or a fun trail walk—to make their day a bit brighter. It’s all about keeping them happy, relaxed, and loved right where they belong.
About: Hello! I have 3 cats of my own, so I completely understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, especially when they’re needy, spoiled, and used to lots of love and attention. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are not only well cared for, but also comfortable, safe, and loved like they’re my own. I’m very experienced with cats and all their different personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I’m also comfortable caring for small dogs as I used to have a Chihuahua myself! Whether your pets need cuddles, playtime, feeding, medication, or just someone patient and reliable to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for check ins, feedings, playtime, and quality time with your cats. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you’re away. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits as needed! I care for pets the same way I care for my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I always try to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress free as possible while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I make sure cats are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and attention based on their personality and comfort level. I know some cats love cuddles and interaction while others prefer space and quiet companionship, and I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Because I have cats of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my family.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a lifelong Alaskan. I have a small dog of my own that will welcome your best friend as one of the pack! I grew up with pets, I’ve attended dog behavioral training and first aid courses, and there’s never been a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog. I have a fenced property with a big yard in a convenient midtown location. We’d love to have your dog stay with us! I am now home and dog sitting full-time every day. I can accommodate almost any schedule necessary and can work with your needs for drop off and pick up. I have a fenced property with a large yard for your dog to enjoy. Typically I don’t use crates unless requested by the owner and your pet is welcome to make themself at home. I also love taking photos so you can expect lots of pics of your pup while they’re staying with us.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and I’ve worked in emergency veterinary medicine. I am in the process of becoming a licensed veterinary technician. I love all the pets and work well with older pets who may need meds or extra care! I do work full time but am completely free during my off hours! I have lots of time in the evenings especially to spend with your furry friend! I have three kitties of my own, as well as a Border Collie mix! I am most comfortable caring for your pet in your own home, where they feel the most comfortable!
“Ashley was great! We planned a last min day trip and she was able to check in on our fur kiddos no problem. Both were happy when we got home. 😊”
“So glad that Tessa could take Alfred in a midday walk while I worked. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was taken care of and wouldn’t have to wait for me if I couldn’t get away from work for a lunch time walk. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.
About: I have loved most animals for as long as I can remember. I am very compassionate towards animals and feel love and concern when I see a lost or unloved animal. I have pet and house sat for two families who came back to me multiple times. I am always willing to adjust my usual routine to make the owners and their furry family members comfortable. I sat for a friend once who requested that I keep their large, fluffy husky mix in my car whenever I left the house. My priority will always be keeping your furbabies happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable. Last, but certainly not least, I have two dogs of my own who I treat as if they were my own children. I am always thinking of how I would want other humans to treat them when I decide how to work with someone else's pets. During the summer, my pet care will be my highest priority. During the school year (mid August through late December and mid January through late May) I work as a teaching assistant and must prioritize that but I would endeavor to schedule all non-work related activities around the needs of the pet and their family. As I have two dogs of my own neither of which get along well with other dogs, I would not be able to care for another pet in my own home, but I am always willing to stay in another home if pets require constant supervision. I would always follow any instructions regarding pet care given me by the owners. If clear instructions are not given to me, I will ask questions and I will simply do my best to make the pet comfortable and not to change their routine more than absolutely necessary.
About: Hey there! My name is Lauryn. I am an animal loving, dedicated former vet clinic employee with a passion for all critters big and small (including the scaled friends!). I have 7 years of animal hospital experience in Alaska and am confident in my skills to provide care and love to all of your pets. My new role is fully remote, allowing plenty of time to be home with your pets! My parents owned a vet clinic for 15 years and I grew up in the trade. Starting at 15, I began pet sitting and dog walking and eventually moved on to being a kennel technician. I have also worked at dog boarding facilities and frequently volunteer at various rescues. I can confidently handle any size, age and breed. Caring for animals is something I am passionate about. I am flexible with your requests. I am able to administer medications should your pet need them. My biggest goal is to make your pets happy and your mind at ease. Whether it be a walk and some fetch with the ball or just lounging around getting belly rubs, I look forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you! I currently work full time M-F, fully remote! I am also available entirely on weekends and holidays. This allows me plenty of time to spend with your pets. As I am taking care of your pet(s) in your home, I will follow any and all requests or guidelines you set to ensure your baby is happy and healthy at home. I look forward to sending photo and video updates to you as well, should you like those!
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with many years of experience in the veterinary field and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, giving me a strong background in animal care and behavior. I have raised and cared for dogs for over 20 years and love playing, walking, pottying, and spending quality time with them. I am also trained to help animals in emergency situations. My dog, Pico de Gallo, is the love of my life, and I would treat your dog/cat/animal with the same care, patience, and love as if they were my own. I work for myself, so any animal that needs care would be worked into my schedule. I can do stop-ins, walks, play time, anything that is needed for your pets to be taken care of. As my calendar fills up, I ensure the times requested for pets come first before overloading my schedule. I would take care of pets in my clients' homes. I would do potty breaks and ensure the house was not used. I would take the dogs for walks and play with them to burn off some energy before bringing them back home, if the owner allowed it. I would also feed and make sure they drank water before I left, updating the owner on how they are doing. Otherwise, I would utilize the spaces given to me ( a fenced yard, etc.). For cats, I would check in on them and make sure they are fed and watered. i would play with them with their toys and then update their owner on how they are doing.
About: Spreading love and care to my community is a privilege I take seriously. I’ll take care of any animal as if they were my own. I’m available daily to care for any pet needs. I’m available during the week and weekends. Let me know your pets needs and I’ll be happy to provide loving care. My past pets are spoiled rotten. Your fur babies will be too. All fur babies will be nurtured and cared for to a T as if they were my own.

“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Julie was great.! We were delayed over the holidays and she was very helpful in accommodating our change. Our Maizey was very well taken care of and seemed relaxed & happy upon picking her up.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Nice family and home, knowledgeable and worked with our puppy on behavior skills, and had great communication with us. 10/10 would love to have our Lucy stay with them again.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such great care of Momo! It was so great to get photos and updates, and to be able to enjoy a vacation knowing that she was not only safe, but having a great time! We appreciate you!”
“A dog lover all of her life and a very supportive family that together made our dog feel completely at home. A fenced yard and 2 lovely dogs of her own rounded out our dog's stay. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Ashlee took amazing care of my dog, Charlie. This was the first time I’d ever used a boarding service, so I was very nervous. Ashlee even sent me pictures of Charlie during her stay. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Ashlee’s care of my puppy. 11/10 highly recommended!”
“Suzanne was highly responsive for booking and accommodating for drop off/pick up. While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.”
“Kiara and Alejandro took amazing care of Canelo while I was away. Canelo has a blast running around their yard with their dogs all day long, got plenty of pets and cuddles from their family. They provided me updates to let me know Canelo was getting along well and getting plenty of activity. I would absolutely love to have them take care of Canelo for any futures trips. Can’t thank them enough.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Crystal was very responsive and accommodated our last minute request to care for Lucy after our initial plans fell through. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I was so relieved to see Lucy being happy and well-cared for. Would absolutely book again.”
“Zhenya took care of my dog Zola (very energetic boxer) this weekend and she’s did great and sent many pictures. She had a kennel ready with blankets and toys even a leach for Zola. We only had to bring Zola and her food. Zhenya made it super easy for us. I would love to use her services again ??”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
About: In our home we have three trained hunting dogs, two Labradors and an English Cocker Spaniel. I have trained my own dogs for AKC hunt tests, my eldest dog has a Senior Hunter title and my middle boy has his Junior hunter title. I have spent years around boarding kennels and have experience caring for dogs other than my own. I work from home and your dogs will get to hang out with my own during the day. Your doggo can expect to walk and hang out on the back deck with us in the evenings. I work from home and have a flexible routine with my dogs. A typical day includes morning potty, then they hang out with me while I work with potty time during the day as the dogs need it. My dogs typically eat dinner around 6:00 PM, but alternative feeding schedules can be accommodated. After dinner the dogs have two additional potty times before lights out. I walk the dogs at least once per day, although the time varies from day to day. I have a fenced side yard and dogs will be walked to the side yard on a leash. Walks will also occur on leashes. Dogs are crated if I am out of the home. Unless there is a medical or training reason not to, fresh water is provided in their kennels at all time. My dogs may be out on a Halo GPS collar rather than a leash. Boarded dogs must be free of external parasites and communicable disease. I reserve the right to refuse dogs who arrive with flea, lice, or obvious communicable illnesses.
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
