Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Paws to Celebrate Dinner and Auction
In partnership with the Golden Retriever Rescue of Fairbanks (GRRF), a dinner and silent auction is hosted annually each Autumn at the Senior Community Center to benefit the maintenance of the community’s favorite dog park. While this event does not permit dogs, the funds raised at this event are what keep the dog park open and wonderful. For $40 per person, guests can listen to live music, get drinks at the bar before and after dinner, and enter to win door prizes while bidding for donated items at the auction.

Dog Day Run
Every summer at the trail near Fairbanks Park, the Dog Day 1K Run invites runners and walkers alike to bring along their pups for a day of exercise. The trail is low skill level, and vendors will be placed at the finish line so you can treat yourself and Fido to something special. Once you’ve crossed the finish and rehydrated, head on over to the Puppy Ninja Warrior contest that follows the race to watch puppies run an agility course!

Golden Days Festival
Perhaps the biggest event in Fairbanks, the Golden Days Festival is a multi-day festival celebrating the rich history that the Gold Rush left in the city. Dogs are welcome to most events, and encouraged to dress up in Victorian style dress, as the rest of the town does. There are parades, luncheons, and a fan favorite - the Rubber Ducky Race. Information is available through the Chamber of Commerce.
Pet Awareness Day
Hosted annually each Spring by the Golden Retriever Rescue (GRRF) at the Tanana Valley Fairground, Pet Appreciation Day has vendors, a good citizen dog test, and several adoption events. Costing just $2 per person or $6 per family, Pet Appreciation Day has a petting zoo for the children and hand-crafted gifts for Mom and Dad!
