I met The Dog Mama through serendipity at Connors Bog. I was new in Anchorage and had a young dog. I was looking for doggie daycare with walks to keep my pup fully exercised during the week when I was super busy with a major project. Was I ever lucky to run into The Dog Mama! She started watching my dog very soon after. He already had experience with doggie daycare and been socialized to play with other dogs so he fit right in with her pack. She keeps her dogs in her control which was a huge reassurance to me. I wanted someone who wouldn't let this big puppy play on their sympathy! That is, I didn't want his training to go out the window while he horsed around all day. The Dog Mama has a wonderful, peaceful demeanor that sets the tone for the pups. I always felt like my dog had a good day of play and rest when I picked him up. He wasn't overstimulated by constant barking (like may happen in a bigger daycare facilities). I just loved bringing him to The Dog Mama. She's a great dog mom.

We love The Dog Mama! Our pets are well cared for, instructions are followed, they get great walks and they enjoy playtime / socialization with a small group. Our two Schnauzers get excited when we pull into the driveway....and that’s their 5-star review summary!

Alysha is probably the only person capable of turning my crazy boy into a puddle. Both of my dogs love her but my boy Bob would probably vote to live with her instead of coming home. She takes them on daily adventures, sends the most beautiful pictures and updates, and really makes them a part of her family. Seeing them play with her family and pack gives me the peace of mind that even when I’m not there, they’re having the best time. Plus, when they come home, they sleep for pretty much 24hrs which is exactly what I need after a vacation or business trip.

We have used Alysha’s dog sitting services a few times, and we are so happy we found her! Our dog Jack loves having some pals to hang out with and of course the awesome adventures he gets to go on while he’s at Alysha’s house! Alysha will keep you updated with pictures of your dog having the best time! She is a great communicator. Drop off and pick up have always been easy to schedule. We recommend her 100%!

The Dog Mama is great! Alysha does an amazing job taking care of Agnes the chocolate Lab while we are on vacation. It’s so good to know our pup is in safe hands while we’re away. Plus, Alysha sends fantastic updates with photos of dog walks and other adventures. Highly recommended!!
