My dog has been going to Arctic Tails since she was a puppy. She loves it soooo much. The staff…read morelove her too! 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. They also offer advantix, teeth cleaning, nail trimming, etc. So it's great that she can have that all done while she's at school. 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.

And so exhausted for a day or two after she is there. The two women who run Barking Log are so nice! Every day our dog is there, we get a "report card" about what she did all day. It is cute and funny! Not the most inexpensive place, but I think it is worth it!

I moved to Anchorage a couple months ago, and I was very worried about starting my 9-month old…read moreFrench Bulldog, Romer, in any type of Day Camp. He had never gone before, and I wondered how he would be socializing with other dogs and being away from me. I have had the absolute best experience with Happy Dog Day Camp! My pup is waiting at the door at 6am to go play with his friends! He is tired when he gets home, and I feel very safe leaving him there overnight. (Sometimes, I think that he'd rather be there then at home. lol) The prices are the best in town, and you can drop-off / pick-up any time. You don't have to have a set schedule, which makes a world of difference as far as my own schedule. The owner, John, is always welcoming, excited, and knowledgeable! The girls who work there are also so kind and ready to greet Romer, even at 6:30am in the morning. I highly recommend this place and tell everyone I know about how great it is. If you have a pup/dog and want him to have a fun day, this is the place for you!

My puppy died at this facility! Terrible and heart breaking…read more The second day my puppy was at this facility (Happy Dog Day Camp) on Tudor, she was brought to the local emergency vet dead. Equally appalling and unacceptable is that it took the owner approximately two days to get back to me in regards to what happened. It took 15 days to finally find out what happened to my dog and APD had to get involved. My 5 month old puppy was attacked by another dog, and according to the autopsy, died a traumatic death. There are no cameras at this facility that could have put an end to this tragedy. There are no words that can describe the pain my family and I have gone through. If you love your pets, do not board them here.

Southpaw Boarding Kennels went above and beyond our needs for the dogs. The care they provided on…read moretheir extended stay was so amazing and we were incredibly grateful for the distance this owner went to with help in the unfortunate circumstances that arose for our human family while the kids were boarded. The owner was quickly responsive to our messages and updated us with pictures of the kids while we were away. she is not only just the business owner but she genuinely cares about the pets she boards.

this wasn't the first time she saw this but that it was the worst…read more The owner said she hasn't been eating for days but didn't let me know that till she was in the emergency. I found that they didn't communicate with me appropriately or as often as I would have liked. They didn't allow dogs to play or interact with each other especially if they were large dogs, so they were crated the whole time. They allowed my dog to sit in her urine, so when I visited she smelled of urine. In the end, she starved to death. She also took no accountability, the first thing she said was "I hope you're not mad at me, this wasn't my fault" but she was under their care. Animal control was called on her, and because they had 1 video of them feeding her, and because of Zoe's history with anxiety they aren't going to charge her. So, if you have a pet with issues, find another location.

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!!

Desiree and her cousin Margie have been my petsitters for as long as I have lived in Anchorage. 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.
