Rachel is a gift to the pet community of Anchorage. We recently lost our beloved dog Luna to cancer…read moreand Rachel brought a level of compassion and kindness to what was one of our worst days that i was not expecting. She was kind, supportive, compassionate, gentle, respectful to our grieving and need to have ceremony to honor Luna. She helped us think about what some of our needs might be before, during, and after her passing. Having her present let us and our other dogs have much needed extra time in our home with Luna after our vet left. We have lost many fur companions over the years, and this was a truly different experience. It felt more peaceful and honored what Luna meant to our family. I would highly encourage anybody losing a pet / animal companion to work with Rachel and Flameless Cremation.

She also has payment options for affordable services that she offers to everyone. Our process took a week and when we picked her up, Rachel had a clay paw print keepsake as well as clippings from Saige's beautiful blue merle coat. I am very grateful to have a service like this available, it made the grieving process easier knowing she was being taken care of so delicately. Thank you Rachel

We knew that when his time came, we wanted it at home and outside where he loved to be. No one was available to come to our home, so we took him to Passages.

I researched all of the dog boarding facilities in the area and found Doggie Dog World had the best reviews, I now understand why. They really do care for your dog as if they were their own. Initially, I couldn't get ahold of anyone for my inquiry which made me uneasy but after connecting with the owner Julie all those fears went away. You can tell she loves all the pups and is willing to go out of her way to care for them. I thought after a few nights of boarding my shy little lady Journey wouldn't want to go back for daycare but she was so excited to go and play. This speaks volumes as she must have received love and care for her to be willing to be excited to leave us again! Thank you to all the staff who played with my pup even when she was nervous to be there! I appreciate you and the experience you provided for my fur-baby!!

They regularly share updates on her day, report cards, photos and videos about her day. They practice some basic training skills and have lots of play time.

The same staff have been there for a while so it's nice to see the employees are treated well and make a decent wage.

This was a dog that was always wagging his tail. I am not going to complain about the abrasions on his ears because I know that they were a problem being matted. What I will complain about is my dog no longer is wagging his tail. He has had a problem with his eyes were constantly gooey and had to be constantly cleaned. No here is my complaint. He no longer can see out of his one eye. He has walked into the building and my TV stand. I don't know what happened but I know that he is not the same dog as before he was groomed. I appreciate that they squeezed the grooming soon after I called for an appointment. However my dogs won't be groomed by their service anymore.

However, I feel that she's still learning the ropes of her business and how to manage it. Our dogs got scheduled fine. But one dog had to come back a second day because she ended up double booking an appointment. On top of that, she showed an example of how that dog would look (haircut wise) on one leg and it didn't look like that all over the next day when she was done - AND I got that dog back with a big ole cut on her. I asked the groomer about the cut the next day when I had to take that dog back. She didn't know where it was from. I believe her - but I didn't feel like she took ownership that the cut happened under her watch. Im waiting to give her another try, but feel like she deserves it because - again - you can tell this is her passion. Stay tuned.

I…read moreinterviewed several when I arrived here as my job involves a great deal of travel and I have older and special needs animals. As my family lives in the south, if I have to leave for a family emergency, the visit may be several weeks. Desiree always responds with, "Gotcha covered." In the years that I have used Petlover Petsitting, I have never had any concerns about leaving an animal, even one that is on medication or requires special care. If I need more food or an animal needs a trip to the vet, it is done. If there is a problem, I get a phone call. If she has a worry about an animal or there is a question, she calls. I have special knowledge in some areas and Desiree has always used me as a resource. I am sure she uses others, too. Desiree also takes care of me. I have had to leave at very early hours or suddenly. I get distracted and sometimes leave things in the middle of what I am doing. I have returned to find dishes washed, food put away, appliances turned off, etc. Even if I don't remember for days that I forgot something, Desiree has already taken care of it. She brings in the paper and the mail. She leaves lights on for my late arrival home so I won't be in the dark. She lets me know if they plowed the drive or not. She has repaired items I left broken! If I could just get her to have dinner waiting, it would be perfect! As for re-homing dogs, Desiree has done this for years. She posts pictures of animals who need a new home. I have been to her place and know she takes care of the animals. And, she is always looking for a home for someone. I do not hesitate to recommend Desiree to others.

I was told on the phone that there were "only two people ahead of me," yet nothing was explained about appointments taking 2+ hours or the possibility of not being seen at all. After waiting an unreasonable amount of time, I was finally told there was no guarantee my dog would even be seen that night. That should have been explained before I wasted hours sitting there with an injured pet. The lack of empathy was shocking. No kindness, no concern, no basic customer service, just attitude and indifference while people sit there stressed and scared about their animals. If you're considering this place, be prepared to: * Wait for hours * Be ignored * Be treated rudely * Possibly never be seen at all Pet owners deserve honesty, communication, and compassion, especially in urgent situations. This place failed on all fronts. I would never return and strongly suggest others look elsewhere to avoid the frustration and emotional stress I went through.
