Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tanaina
“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”
“Justin is completely awesome. I had an urgent trip to go on and he took me in right away and was very flexible with me on bringing my pups in. He watched them for 5 days and he made sure my pups were being good. He sent daily updates on and pictures. I would highly recommend Justin!”
“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!”
“Nichole and her husband were such amazing sitters for our kitten, Pluto. They were flexible with us adding a few days last minute, and sent pics of our boy. We will be booking with her again!”
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
“Kassandra did an amazing job taking care of my anxious dog. We got updates and appreciate the activity and attention given. My pup came back home happy, calm and relaxed. Wow!!!”
“Tanner took good care of my family member and kept me in the loop about his goings on. Sent a photo too. He was quite responsive to my needs - a death in the family required an 11th hour booking. I appreciate him coming though in a pinch.”
“Thanks for all the feedback and activity updated while we were traveling. Lola loves you and your family. Always leave us feeling safe and secure. I know how much you care about your furry little guests. We appreciate you so much. ML”
“Jennifer was awesome with my spoiled boy. She didn’t hesitate to include him as part of her family and spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just as I asked. I’m probably a helicopter dog mom, but Jennifer was more than willing to comply with all my quirky boy’s lifestyle. Would def recommend if you have a kiddo requiring extra attention or if you need piece of mind while your baby is in her care.”
“Elizabeth boarded our 12 week old Blue Heeler for two nights. She was easy to communicate with, sent pictures during his stay, and even dropped him off (which was originally not park of the arrangement). He was returned happy and well cared for.”
“Absolutely best dog sitters!! Got pictures or videos every day or every other day (which I perfered. Both brother and sister were supper accommodating and flexible about pick up and drop off. Asked about extra special food while on trip for the dogs to eat. Super friendly and I was super lucky to have found them for my first try on Rover. 6 stars.”
“Denice was so kind and takes her role as a pet sitter very seriously. She knows animals and once I saw her set up I knew animals are her passion in life. Not a single thing will be missed with Denice watching your furbaby!”
About: ‼️I can only provide services in the Palmer/Wasilla area! My whole life my job at home was to care for the cats and dogs, and it was my favorite thing in the world. Now I have moved out, and I just want to continue caring for pets by providing services on Rover which is so perfect for me! I'm currently a cleaner for Janco Cleaning Company, 3-4 hours per night, and I provide services on Rover on the side with my whole day until dinner time reserved for pets! I live in an apartment with 2 adorable kitties, I am only able to house small dogs and cats in my apartment, as much as I love big dogs I have to control myself!
About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience caring for dogs with many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading body language, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settle in quickly. I have experience with puppies, including potty routines, crate training foundations, and helping young dogs adjust to new environments. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and those who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort and supervision. Because dogs are such a big part of my daily life, I naturally pay attention to safety, structure, and individual needs. I understand how to introduce dogs carefully to new spaces, prevent overstimulation, and maintain routines so they feel secure while their owners are away. I only accept one household at a time, which allows me to provide personalized care, close supervision, and plenty of attention. My goal is always for dogs to feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for-not just watched. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home frequently throughout the day and dogs are already a central part of my life. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m able to maintain feeding routines, exercise, and quiet rest time so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I only accept one household at a time, I can focus on their individual needs and make sure they receive personalized care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel secure. I only accept one household of dogs at a time, which allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention without overcrowding or unnecessary stress. I introduce dogs to new spaces gradually and pay close attention to body language, behavior, and comfort levels so I can adjust care to their needs. Dogs have access to comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time in a secure space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, routines, medications, and exercise to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they are away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m a young, experienced dog trainer with a genuine love for animals of all sizes and personalities. I offer reliable dog training, boarding, and walking services in a safe, structured, and loving environment. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, building confidence, and meeting each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, overnight care, or help with basic manners, they’ll be treated like family while in my care. I have plenty of time. In my schedule to come help out! Just let me know. Afternoons are best, or early mornings. Can’t wait to meet them. I have experience in dog first aid! Know dog body language, so I can read them to make sure they are comfortable. Dogs will always be on a leash! When outdoors. Unless in a fenced yard.
“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.”
“Ashley was so good with both our puppy and our elderly dog. I appreciated her accommodating my request for my older dog to meet her before we dropped him off. Thanks for giving us peace of mind as we traveled without our dogs!”

“Lacie has been a life safer with an unexpected family member being away from home and needing care for his cats. One in particular is very reclusive and over the last few weeks has opened up and allowed visual appearances as well as pets. Lacie's truly helped during this trying time. She'll treat your pets as if they we her own 🥰”
“Hailey did a great job. She always kept in contact with me each day and let me know that she could find the cats if I asked her. Let me know their food and water levels as well. Great job, thank you!”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life. I've had nearly 10 cats in my lifetime and my main job has always been to take care of them. Back at home, I had 4 cats who were the lights of my life, and since I have moved away I now have 2 beautiful kitties and they are still the lights of my life.
“Kacy did a wonderful job of taking care of my kitty. Sadie is an elderly kitty who has lots of quirks but Kacy worked really hard at winning her over and was very conscientious to notice her habits to help reduce her anxiety. Kacy kept me informed every day and was open to suggestions about taking care of Sadie. She took care with my house just as if it were her own. I can't thank Kacy enough! .”
“Heaven did great for a seven day house-sit! I had quite the menagerie at the time - fish, frogs, birds, cats, and came to all of them happy and healthy and the house just as tidy as when we left.”
“Melissa is wonderful. We have had her come by to watch our cats a few times now and she always makes sure to send a few pics every visit. My cats love her (even our little scaredy cat). We will absolutely use her services again.”
About: I’ve almost always had a cat in my life. I seem to have a connection with them and can quickly understand their personalities and what they want, need, and are feeling. Playing with them makes me happy! We lost our cat Luna in 2021 and are still hoping to find him.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: Coming from rural Minnesota, I've been raising animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in having the honor of caring for fur babies and treat every animal as my own. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you're away! I have a large fenced backyard and 3 dogs of Mt own who love having new playmates. I live right on a trail that surrounds a nearby park so walking and exercise is a breeze!
“Megan, thank you so much for looking after my 2 cats while I was away on a trip! You did an amazing job and kept them happy, cared for and fed. I really enjoyed the pictures you shared during your visits! Thank you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a proud mama to 2 rescued weenie dogs. My husband and I just moved to Alaska! If anyone asks, I’m obsessed with all things dog and have a dachshund collection that’s over 50 items! Ha! I’m doing this mainly to find more dogs to love on and a bit of extra cash to help pay off loans. I promise I’ll love your dog like my own. I’m a very active runner so Ill be happy to walk/jog even the most playful pups! It would mean a lot if you considered me as your pup’s play date! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Hope to see you soon! Happy tails! I do work full-time but have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to take care of your pups. Just let me know what you need and we can figure something out! We have plenty of space and always watch our dogs when they're outside. We treat our pups like they are little humans, so your pup will easily be spoiled.
“Katie has been our trusted cat sitter for some time now. She is great with our two cats and has gone above and beyond on visits, such as cleaning up after our cats have knocked over plants, bringing in mail, and sending fun updates and pictures. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’m not a teen :) so I will show up without fail on time every time. I’m not the cheap option but I guarantee that there’ll be no surprises if you hire me. If you have multiple pets, please reach out to me, we can discuss a personalized rate. I am around dogs and cats all my life, that’s my happy place and I love every aspect of it, even the not so glamorous parts like cleaning, listening to barking, or dealing with emergencies. I worked at a pet Resort for years here in Alaska working with all types of furry friends. I have a soft spot for seniors, I also have a lovely old lady in my home, a 12 year old German Shepherd, Molly. If I may suggest something to any pet owner in our valley: please don’t choose your sitter based on who’s the cheapest available option… taking care of your pets in your home is a big responsibility. Great joy as well of course but it must be done with 100% attention, care and love. I can promise that 100% because that’s the only setting in my book when it comes to animals. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help, I would love to be there for you and for your pets. I raised three children, all grown-up now. I have the time now for your pets. Because of my love for animals, I look forward to helping you when you need it! Safety is THE most important aspect of taking care of a pet, so before I start working with one I always have multiple questions to the owner. Knowing your doggie, knowing the routine, the environment etc is a crucial factor in providing a safe and quality service.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tanaina
About: I have 20 experience taking care of pets, from small rodents and reptiles to large breed dogs. I have an occupational endorsement for veterinary technicians assisting from MSCU. I foster cats and dogs for local Rescues. I have a small zoo at my house that includes chickens, rabbits, cats, and dog and several reptiles. So I am open to care for more than just your dogs and cats. I am a SAHM of 3 children(ages, 12, 15, and 19) and 20 plus pets, including our fish & chickens😁. Looking to add some income doing what I love most. Caring for animals. I have a large home to accommodate pets of many varieties and sizes. I have a large yard with a heavily wooded area surrounding the rear and lined by a fence on one side and a large hill on the other side. I have experience in emergency care for pets if ever needed. I frequently foster pregnant cats and dogs so they have a safe space to deliver and care for their litter’s until we can find them living forever homes.
About: With a strong background in working and high-drive dogs—especially German Shepherds—I bring a structured, intentional approach to pet care. I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs through advanced obedience and sport foundations, with a focus on clear communication, calm handling, and routine. My experience has shown me that not every dog thrives in chaotic daycare environments, which is why I prioritize individualized care, low-stress transitions, and purposeful engagement. Whether your dog needs stability, mental stimulation, or simply a quiet, well-managed space, they’ll be handled with the same level of consistency and respect I expect for my own dogs. Pet care is built into my daily routine from start to finish—it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I structure my day around. Mornings begin early with kennel checks, potty rotations, feeding, and a calm reset for the day. Throughout the day, I run scheduled rotations for exercise, engagement, and rest, ensuring each dog gets individual attention without overstimulation. Evenings include additional potty breaks, wind-down time, and a final check to make sure every dog is settled, clean, and comfortable. This consistent, predictable routine allows me to provide attentive, low-stress care while maintaining a calm and controlled environment for every dog. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to reduce stress and provide clarity. Each dog is housed individually and follows a consistent daily routine that includes scheduled potty breaks, feeding, rest, and purposeful engagement. I focus on calm handling, clean transitions, and one-on-one attention rather than group chaos or open play. Dogs are monitored closely throughout the day, and their environment is kept clean, quiet, and predictable. This approach is especially well-suited for working, high-drive, or more sensitive dogs who benefit from structure, routine, and thoughtful care.
“Justin has taken exceptional care of Felix. Super responsive, warm welcome every day and great updates at the end of the day. Flexible to meet all the needs of my senior pup and crazy work schedule. So so grateful for the attention and care Justin gives my old pup! Couldn’t ask for a better arrangement. Thank you Justin!”
About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!

I’m retired and have every day and evening to take care of fur babies I love giving love and comfort while Mom and Dad are gone I’m retired and would enjoy doing care for animals I’m have a full day to care for them I did DayCare for 20 plus years and I miss caring
“Incredible rover! The whole family is incredibly sweet, considerate, and accommodating. My pup was so excited to go over and play! I’ll happily work with Madelyn again. Thanks so much for taking great care of her!”

“Astrid was great with our 13 month old puppy! We received texts and photos throughout the day and it was obvious our girl had a great day & lots of play time. She was tired and ready to come home, but not before running back to Astrid for one last hug. She was in good hands while we enjoyed a tour.”
About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I can provide a crate, if desired - I do request that your dog be crate-trained and I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.
About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
About: I know pets are part of the family and I want pet owners to be able to travel with peace of mind knowing their dog is well cared for. I’m able to provide an enriching and comfortable stay for your dog while you’re away. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to provide adequate exercise, walks, enrichment and scheduled bathroom breaks. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for dogs to feel comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and enjoy getting dogs out for walks and fresh air. I try to keep routines consistent—feeding, potty breaks, and activity—so your dog feels as close to home as possible.
About: Since I was 9, I have house/pet sat for countless neighbors and friends. Dogs/cats/birds/fish/hamsters/Guinea pigs/bunnies/lizards - the list goes on! I have a sweet, very active 3 yr old doodle who loves all animals/humans. I spoil animals and am “that person” that will ask to play with your dog when we cross paths 😊 Although I have only ever operated through word of mouth, I am new to the area so am here to build my clientele! Let’s connect!! As of May ‘26, I can be home full time. For boarding/daycare, I do prefer pets that have minimal to no shedding. If in your home, I’m open to any and all! :) I treat your pets just as you would - or better. It’s what I would want for mine. I’m flexible and will do anything you prefer, whether it’s using a crate, being strict with leashes (especially if they’re an escape artist), specific food/med schedules, etc. I am highly experienced with security systems, caring for homes, and watching out for issues like unlocked doors/leaks/etc. I take detailed notes and make sure to stay in contact - and I am not afraid to ask questions! As of May ‘26 - I am home full time! Dogs must be kenneled while I am gone. I’m open to puppies but they need to be pretty well trained (I.e. potty & crate) as I have a dog as well! My #1 priority is making sure pets are safe and secure at all times. Depending on the location, dogs are either leashed or fenced in - ALWAYS! I grew up with escape artist dogs so I learned the “do’s and don’ts” pretty quick :) I do my research on toys/bones and always monitor the pet while they’re “busy.” Animals are my best friends and I do everything I can to make sure they’re 100% safe, well taken care of, and HAPPY! That being said, I do highly prefer minimal to no shedding depending on the size of the dog and the situation.
About: I love animals and being able to help you with your pet care needs. I would love spending some of that time on your canine companions or feline friend. I have owned dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and concerns and love them all. My dogs have ranged in age from one to twenty and eight pound an to eighty. Every pet is unique and special. I have watched dogs and cats off and on for friends and family for more than ten years. I have also raised small animals and reptiles. I am friendly but firm and will treat your furry friend like my own. They will get lots of love, exercise, and petting. Please give me a chance to win over your pet. I am a teacher so busy during the school year and mostly free during the summer. During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I have two fenced yards. A small one connected to the house with a dog door and a bigger one. I have chickens who live in the bigger one during the summer. I am not currently having doggie visitors overnight as my cats don't like it.
About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
About: We don’t have a dog of our own, so every pup who stays with us becomes the center of attention in our home.

With my flexible schedule, I’m available at all times to ensure your furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve. My children and I cherish every moment spent snuggling, playing, and embarking on adventures with your beloved animal companions. From morning walks to bedtime cuddles, we prioritize the well being and happiness of your sweet companion as if they were our own. I treat pets like family, ensuring they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention during their stay. Following your instructions closely, I prioritize their safety and well being, providing a nurturing environment where they can thrive. With a genuine passion for animals, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the care and affection they deserve.
“Our dogs had a fantastic time & I loved all the photos I received. I’ll definitely be using Zhenya again. She was super accommodating for my last minute daycare request. Thank you so much again!”
“We absolutely LOVE Ashley!!! This is our first time leaving Milo with anyone, and we couldn’t ask for better. She sent us photos every day and took him outside. If you’re scared to let your fur baby go for the first time do NOT worry about leaving them with her, she’s perfect! We are grateful you could fit us in during our PCS, thank you Ashley! ??”

About: I am currently on a 3 10s schedule and am available sat-tuesday. If we can come up with a potty plan, I can accommodate my 3 work days as well. Ive owned both show and working dogs, ive worked with special needs and puppies. While I don not offer training, I can continue and maintain anything you are working on with your pet. I work 3 10s a week and am home sat- tuesday. I prefer booking for my off days but work days are fine as long as potty arrangements can be made. I do not currently own any animals however I currently help run a horse barn. Dogs will be let out on a leash so that they can be supervised. I can provide several walks a day if requested. Because I have no other pets feeding can be done however the owner request. Free fed, portioned and soaked. I also have experience with raw.
About: I have experience with small to giant breed dogs. From kitten to senior cats. Additionally I have experience with administering medication via shot(for cats and dogs), pill, mousse, cream, and I have wound care experience. I have had several years of pet car from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. Additionally I have cared for some varieties of fish and amphibians. Animal care is my top priority. I work full time but I work 5 minutes from home allowing me to visit home every day for lunch. My work schedule is 5 days a week but with being so close to home I am able to visit the house every four hours. Additionally I have weekends off as well. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have 2 friendly dogs and a yard that I can walk your dog on a leash in. My dogs are very well trained and stay in the yard without a leash. Additionally my dogs come in the house on command, no dog will ever be unattended when under my care. My dogs get along with cats and ferrets as well. We like to joke that our orange cat trained both of our dogs.
About: I have taken care of all sizes of dogs for about 8 months now. My family and family friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies. Feeding them, giving them their meds, and following a daily routine (given from family of the dog) were all apart of things I’ve had to do as a dog house sitter. I have a job, I work about 6hour shifts at least 5 days a week and my schedule changes every week.I do school online so I will be able to do it whenever I have free time. BUT I am almost done with school and will be graduating in May. I would care for your pets by taking them outside, playing with them, feeding them, bathing them if necessary, and giving medicine if also necessary.
About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I see it as my job and make it a priority to provide a professional peaceful experience. Between my partner and I we have experience ranging from but not limited to dogs exotic animals live stock and more. I serve from homer to big lake. Also my partner is a handy man that can provide grounds keeping, maintance, welding, construction, etc if necessary I treat this as my full time job. Building genuine relationships with the clients as well as the pets is a priority as well as providing peace of mind,personal touch, and professional experience. I provide in the pets home. I feel keeping them in their element is important. I adhere to their routine and provide a safe healthy environment for them as well as genuine companionship.
“Lance and Megan are amazing! Such sweet people that take amazing care of my goofy pup! My pup always comes back from his walks happy and ready for a nap. They're great at communication and our family highly recommends their services!!”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a proud mama to 2 rescued weenie dogs. My husband and I just moved to Alaska! If anyone asks, I’m obsessed with all things dog and have a dachshund collection that’s over 50 items! Ha! I’m doing this mainly to find more dogs to love on and a bit of extra cash to help pay off loans. I promise I’ll love your dog like my own. I’m a very active runner so Ill be happy to walk/jog even the most playful pups! It would mean a lot if you considered me as your pup’s play date! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Hope to see you soon! Happy tails! I do work full-time but have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to take care of your pups. Just let me know what you need and we can figure something out! We have plenty of space and always watch our dogs when they're outside. We treat our pups like they are little humans, so your pup will easily be spoiled.
About: I’m not a teen :) so I will show up without fail on time every time. I’m not the cheap option but I guarantee that there’ll be no surprises if you hire me. If you have multiple pets, please reach out to me, we can discuss a personalized rate. I am around dogs and cats all my life, that’s my happy place and I love every aspect of it, even the not so glamorous parts like cleaning, listening to barking, or dealing with emergencies. I worked at a pet Resort for years here in Alaska working with all types of furry friends. I have a soft spot for seniors, I also have a lovely old lady in my home, a 12 year old German Shepherd, Molly. If I may suggest something to any pet owner in our valley: please don’t choose your sitter based on who’s the cheapest available option… taking care of your pets in your home is a big responsibility. Great joy as well of course but it must be done with 100% attention, care and love. I can promise that 100% because that’s the only setting in my book when it comes to animals. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help, I would love to be there for you and for your pets. I raised three children, all grown-up now. I have the time now for your pets. Because of my love for animals, I look forward to helping you when you need it! Safety is THE most important aspect of taking care of a pet, so before I start working with one I always have multiple questions to the owner. Knowing your doggie, knowing the routine, the environment etc is a crucial factor in providing a safe and quality service.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: We don’t have a dog of our own, so every pup who stays with us becomes the center of attention in our home. I’ve been the go to dog sitter in my family for years, so I’m experienced with everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here, they’ll be loved, included in our routine, and treated like part of the family. As a stay at home mom, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. With my flexible schedule, I’m available at all times to ensure your furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve. My children and I cherish every moment spent snuggling, playing, and embarking on adventures with your beloved animal companions. From morning walks to bedtime cuddles, we prioritize the well being and happiness of your sweet companion as if they were our own. I treat pets like family, ensuring they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention during their stay. Following your instructions closely, I prioritize their safety and well being, providing a nurturing environment where they can thrive. With a genuine passion for animals, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the care and affection they deserve.
About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. I have one dog, Ricco, who is great with other pups of all sizes and ages. We have a large intended yard that’s great for fetch and trails nearby for walks or runs! I work 7.5hrs per day, MWF I work from home and TR I work in Wasilla. I like to take the fur babes everywhere that I can, just to get them out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.
About: Hey all!! I’ve been caring for my own animals;horses,dogs,cats,rabbits,etc for most of my life(30+yrs) I’ve also always been the friend whom everyone asks to care for their furry friend. I went to school to become a veterinary technician and have practiced in animal hospitals for a couple of years but now work seasonally as a wildlife biologist in the Mojave Desert. I love to be active with our pets, whether it’s a short or long walk or I can even take them out in the trails! If they want tons of love and affection, I’ll give it to them. If they are not so social, I can give them their space but still talk to them to let them know they are safe and still being loved, even when their family is not around. Love cats and completely understand them, ha ha! I work a few months in the spring and fall down in the L48 but while I’m home it’s nice to have part time work while also enjoying my outdoor lifestyle. I won’t be staying at homes because I have my 13yo cat who has recently bend diagnosed with kidney failure so am trying to be w her as much as possible. Allowing the animals to feel how they want about me or whatever it is we may or may not do. Most important to me is gaining the trust and confidence and going from there.
About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I can provide a crate, if desired - I do request that your dog be crate-trained and I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.
About: I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and senior care for dogs. I am happiest when I am taking care of animals in whatever way they need love and care. I especially love helping out with farm animals whenever I have the chance! I currently work part time so have plenty of time Wednesday through Sunday to care for your pets. I prefer to check on them in their own homes frequently each day giving them plenty of time to run around and play or have some love and companionship. When I check on your pets in their homes I will be sure they have everything they need to be comfortable and safe while I’m away. I will also spend an hour with them to make sure they have plenty of time to do their business outside and get their wiggles out if they need it.

“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”
“Justin is completely awesome. I had an urgent trip to go on and he took me in right away and was very flexible with me on bringing my pups in. He watched them for 5 days and he made sure my pups were being good. He sent daily updates on and pictures. I would highly recommend Justin!”
“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!”
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
“Kassandra did an amazing job taking care of my anxious dog. We got updates and appreciate the activity and attention given. My pup came back home happy, calm and relaxed. Wow!!!”
“Tanner took good care of my family member and kept me in the loop about his goings on. Sent a photo too. He was quite responsive to my needs - a death in the family required an 11th hour booking. I appreciate him coming though in a pinch.”
“Jennifer was awesome with my spoiled boy. She didn’t hesitate to include him as part of her family and spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just as I asked. I’m probably a helicopter dog mom, but Jennifer was more than willing to comply with all my quirky boy’s lifestyle. Would def recommend if you have a kiddo requiring extra attention or if you need piece of mind while your baby is in her care.”
“Absolutely best dog sitters!! Got pictures or videos every day or every other day (which I perfered. Both brother and sister were supper accommodating and flexible about pick up and drop off. Asked about extra special food while on trip for the dogs to eat. Super friendly and I was super lucky to have found them for my first try on Rover. 6 stars.”
“Denice was so kind and takes her role as a pet sitter very seriously. She knows animals and once I saw her set up I knew animals are her passion in life. Not a single thing will be missed with Denice watching your furbaby!”
About: Hi! I’m a young, experienced dog trainer with a genuine love for animals of all sizes and personalities. I offer reliable dog training, boarding, and walking services in a safe, structured, and loving environment. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, building confidence, and meeting each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, overnight care, or help with basic manners, they’ll be treated like family while in my care. I have plenty of time. In my schedule to come help out! Just let me know. Afternoons are best, or early mornings. Can’t wait to meet them. I have experience in dog first aid! Know dog body language, so I can read them to make sure they are comfortable. Dogs will always be on a leash! When outdoors. Unless in a fenced yard.
“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.”
“Ashley was so good with both our puppy and our elderly dog. I appreciated her accommodating my request for my older dog to meet her before we dropped him off. Thanks for giving us peace of mind as we traveled without our dogs!”
“Tina was excellent at taking care of my partially paralyzed dog (recovering from a moose attack). My dog looked so happy in every photo she sent, playing with dogs, hanging out outside, and lots of swimming (the only thing she can really do independently right now). She has a great area and setup. I will definitely trust her with taking care of my dog again!”
About: ’m a dog lover at heart, with 10+ years of professional dog sitting and walking experience. We enjoy daily walks in beautiful Alaska nature, and my doggie guests truly get to have a “HAY DAY” here! 💕🗻☀️🐶😄 Our home is cozy, calm, and full of love — with comfy couches, plenty of doggie toys, and lots of gentle attention. My sweet doggie Buddy and the friendly Chihuahua in our household both enjoy the company of well-mannered, friendly furry guests who like to play, relax, or simply be part of the family during the day. 🐾 Our Guest Vibe (Important Please Read) Because we also have a Chihuahua here, and to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy, we now welcome: • Small to medium-sized dogs, or • Friendly, gentle “neighborhood dog” types (such as Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, mixes with similar temperaments) For everyone’s comfort, we are not a fit for dogs with: • Chasing instincts toward small dogs • Territorial, food-guarding, or toy-protective behaviors • High prey drive or rough play styles This helps us maintain a peaceful, loving, all-friends-together environment where every dog feels safe and cared for. 🏡 A True VIP Experience This is a kennel-free, home-away-from-home vacation or day-stay experience — not a high-volume boarding setup. I intentionally keep a small, compatible group so each dog receives calm attention, affection, and a family atmosphere. If your dog loves: ✨ Cozy home vibes ✨ Daily nature walks ✨ Friendly companions ✨ Gentle care and personal attention …then this may be their perfect little vacation retreat 💖🐾 I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure it’s a wonderful match for everyone — dogs and humans alike! I work from home, and take just a few doggies at a time (doggie sitting is my happy side gig) - so they get to have a home away from home experience that’s not overwhelming, but cozy, full of personal attention, love, and fun. Your fur baby will have exclusive personal company and care here: it’s a safe, good energy, and very dog friendly environment. See the main description 🐶💕
“Kam was soo happy which let me know that he was well taken care of. I got pictures everyday which put me at ease. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!”
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
