“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.”
“Willow absolutely loved her time with this family. I loved that they sent pictures and updates to ease my mind as it was the first time i was away from her. I highly recommend them to anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Jennifer is an amazing person and my dog had such a great time!!!! My work schedule is crazy but Jennifer made it so easy and was flexible about me stopping by whenever I could. This was such an amazing opportunity and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Chelsea, our incredible dog sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and that made all the difference for our sweet dog, Peaches. Chelsea treated Peaches like her own, showering her with affection and attention. Each day, we received delightful updates and adorable photos, which not only reassured us but also made us smile. It was evident that Peaches was having the time of her life—whether they were going for long walks, playing fetch, or simply snuggling on the couch. We returned home to a happy and well-cared-for dog, which speaks volumes. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only responsible but also genuinely cares for your furry friend, I totally recommend Chelsea. We feel so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to book her again for our next trip! Thank you, Chelsea, for loving Peaches as much as we do! 🐾❤️”
“I'm so happy to have found Adabelle! I felt very comfortable leaving Luna and was reassured she was well taken care of by all the pictures I received. Luna came home happy and healthy.”
“Wow!! Kaitlin was absolutely amazing. Our dog can tend to be a handful, and we know she had the best time! Kaitlin sent photos every day, took our dog on so many walks and drives, and gave her so many treats! We will absolutely be using Kaitlin for any future trips: it was so nice to know our dog was well taken care of and loved! I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough, your dogs will be safe, loved, and pampered!”
“Amy is fantastic! We came down to Kenai for a hockey tournament and stayed in a hotel that didn’t allow dogs. Our dog only has one eye and this was the first time she’s been away from us, I was a little nervous about how she’d do. Onyx had the best time, and it was so comforting to know our fur baby was taken such good care of while we were apart. Amy also takes amazing pet photos! ❤️ I highly recommend Amy!!”

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sterling
“Best dog sitter ever! My dog might now love Alyssa and her family more than me. Lola has been going to doggy daycare with them for several months now, and I always know she’s safe and well-loved in their care. Highly recommend booking with Alyssa if she is available!”

“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.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sterling
“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”
