Andrew was great with my dog. He was very accommodating for pick up/drop off, and he provided daily video and picture updates. My dog looked genuinely happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that Andrew really cares about the dogs he watches and makes them feel at home. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog boarder.

Chelsea took fantastic care of our dog. She sent tons of pictures and he seemed to be having the time of his life. I think he may have even been a little disappointed to leave. We will definitely have Chelsea watch our dog again in the future!

Deb is a very caring and accommodating sitter. She is very knowledgeable and was communicative throughout our dog Baxter’s stay. We are new to being dog owners with a rescue that we found on the streets of Stockton. Without knowing his previous history we were slightly nervous as to how he would behave at someone else’s house. Deb is very patient, kind and compassionate. She has a Labrador as well. They got along great. It was so nice to be able to take our dog to someone’s house for not only a playdate, but to someone who is an absolute dog lover as Deb. We hope we can bring Baxter to her in the future if needed. She said he is always welcome and that is so reassuring. Deb was so kind to keep us updated with pictures, and texts on how Baxter was doing. I want to end my review by commending Deb by providing us with some positive feedback and reassurance in our dog’s behavior, which was very welcoming. Thank you again for all you did for us and Baxter.

Even though my dog has never boarded anywhere before, she was very comfortable with Jennifer and boarded several nights at Jennifer's home. Her home is very clean and spacious with a large safe area for your dog to also run around in. After observing the initial contact between my dog and Jennifer it was apparent to me that she was very experienced and knowledgeable in the care and handling of pets. Her soft voice and caring demeanor immediately put my dog at ease in an unfamiliar enviroment. For me, it was not like leaving my dog with a stranger but rather leaving my dog with a family member who I could trust. Jennifer also updated me daily via text on how my dog. I found this personal touch to be very comforting in knowing that my dog was doing well away from home. Jennifer provided a service which was way above my expectations considering the nominal fee charged for boarding. Jennifer provided a stress free experience for my dog and myself at a value. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone needing a day pet sitter or pet boarding.

About: I have professional experience working at a dog resort in Arizona, where I learned the importance of structured care, behavior awareness, and creating a safe and positive environment for dogs of all temperaments. After moving to Alaska, I started Bubs Pups, and for the past 3 years I’ve been providing pet care for the Kenai Peninsula. Over time, I have built a strong group of regulars for our doggy daycare, which has been really rewarding and speaks to the trust our clients place in us. I focus on making sure each dog feels comfortable, active, and cared for just like they are at home. During their stay, dogs get plenty of outdoor time and exercise throughout the day (9 AM–10 PM). I also work on simple daily training and reinforcement with the dogs in my care to help improve behavior and manners. Communication is also a big priority for me. I provide regular updates, which include photos and videos, so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re away. I make sure clients are always informed with fast and clear communication throughout the stay. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own. I pay attention to their individual needs, and I want both pets and owners to feel completely at ease. If a client isn’t happy, I’m not happy! It's really as simple as that. I am available for pet care daily from 9 AM to 10 PM, including weekends and holidays. This is a full-time commitment, and I maintain a consistent, reliable schedule year-round so owners can depend on me whenever they need care. I operate every day of the week and prioritize keeping dogs active, engaged, and comfortable throughout their stay. Our goal is to make sure each dog has attention and plenty of time outside during the day. I offer both doggy daycare and boarding, providing flexible care options based on each dog’s needs and each owner’s preference. Dogs are welcome in my home environment and also have access to multiple spaces depending on what best suits each dog’s comfort level, routine, and behavior. This allows me to adjust care on an individual basis rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' setup. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely socialize, play, and stay active throughout the day under supervision. For dogs that prefer quieter environments, I am able to separate them into other areas to ensure they feel more secure and stress-free. Cleanliness is a top priority in all of my spaces. I maintain a consistently clean and sanitary environment to ensure the health and safety of every dog in my care. I also focus heavily on socialization, positive interaction, and routine. Dogs are introduced and grouped appropriately based on temperament, energy level, and owner preferences. If requested, I also provide individual walks to ensure dogs get exercise and stimulation. I closely follow each owner’s instructions and preferences to make sure every dog is cared for exactly how they need to be. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home while receiving personalized care.

Alanna is absolutely wonderful! First of all, her doggie day care set up is beautiful and she has so many treats and things for the dogs to enjoy. Our dog Khumba is very special and has a sordid history. He’s very frightened of everything and has terrible separation anxiety. He will not come to anyone he doesn’t already know and if he’s scared he will run non-stop. I spoke about this with Alanna and she had a game plan to keep him safe. Unfortunately, despite her using two leashes to take Khumba for a walk the leash I had provided snapped and he ripped the backup leash out of her hands. He’s a former sprint racing dog so he has a hard pull. Alanna immediately informed me of the situation and I was lucky to be on break at work. She worked with me to try and call Khumba over the phone to get him to return to my voice but ultimately he would just keep running away. I couldn’t leave work and my husband was nearing the end of his shift so Alanna attempted to keep Khumba in sight while she waited for him to arrive. She rallied her neighbors to help try to lure him in or at least keep track of his location. He was still loose by the time I was off work and she offered to drive to pick me up so my husband could continue searching. She posted on Facebook and other places online to let people know that Khumba was missing and kept my husband and I updated every step of the way. She informed us immediately of any sightings and kept looking for him herself. She could have easily just wished us luck and apologized for him getting free from her instead of continuing to tirelessly search for him. She provided us with food and water while we were looking. Finally she and her mother spotted Khumba and my husband was able to get to the area in time to call him and let him see that it was someone he knew. Without Alanna’s help the outcome might have been much different. She went well above and beyond what she was initially asked to do and I will never be able to thank her enough. She made all the right decisions, there were just extenuating circumstances that led to a difficult situation. She handled it so well and I’m honestly amazed at how well she was able to keep focused during such a stressful situation. I know she takes great care of dogs because of how well she cared for us and I know if Khumba was able to spend more time with her, he would warm up to her and see that she was taking great care of him too. I would highly recommend Alanna as a sitter.

Adabelle was the best dog walker I could have hoped for! I’ve never used a service like this before so I was a little nervous. I met her and kneww I made the right choice. She’s walked my dogs for the last two weeks and I’ve been very pleased with the job she’s done. Consistently sending pictures and updates about my dogs . One of my dogs even got a really bad inner ear infection while I was on a business trip and couldn’t walk since she lost her balance while she was sick. Adabelle gave me updates and even carried my sick dog up and down three flights of stairs to take her out to do her business. I don’t know what I would have done without her help. Thanks Adabelle
