House Sitting in Alaska

“Elliot was great! This was the second time he helped us out with dog sitting our two big dogs. He was very communicative and flexible with his hours. The dogs obviously loved him. I highly recommend him if you are looking for extended pet/house sitting.”

“Tasha was amazing! She took great care of our pets while we were out of town for a week. It took a lot for us to trust someone to stay at our house with our pets and I am glad we gave her a chance. We came home to happy animals and the house exactly as we left it. She also sent daily pictures to keep us updated. 100% would recommend, she loves animals and will be great with your pets 😊”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs. I am a retiree that has a fairly open schedule and able to spend the night at your home. I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.

“Paul was absolutely wonderful as a house sitter! He was so attentive when we met and asked so many good questions about our pets' habits that I could tell right away he was going to really take care of them. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned and he provided great updates each day while we were gone. I will definitely hire Paul again!”

“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”

About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’ve always been a dog person and have a lot of experience around all sorts of dogs! My wife and I currently have 2 golden doodles along with our three beautiful daughters. I have a flexible job that allows me the freedom to be available throughout the day and availability in the evening. I can accommodate whatever your needs may be! Walks, play and attention can be guaranteed when I’m with your pups! At my home, I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that can keep your furry friends company! We can visit a local park with a quiet fenced in area for the pups as well!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Leah was an excellent sitter! She took great care of our senior dog, Reggie. I appreciate that she sent lots of updates. I would be happy to have her watch Reggie again!”

“Ann was fabulous with our elderly min pin and kitty. They both have meds and a schedule that works well and Ann was able to master that for the time she cared for our two furry kids. She spent a couple of nights and days and both pets were calm and fine when we returned. I would have Ann sit for our kiddos again!”

“First time we've left our dog with anyone but family. Megan was fantastic!!”

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

“Breanna is an amazing and wonderful sitter! She went above and beyond watching my pups and kept us updated. She will definitely be my go to sitter!”

About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I am a full Time college student, that also works a part time job working at a local hospital. I am currently studying Social work. I can't currently have animals stay in my home. But depending on what the client is looking for, I can drop by their home and visit or stay with that animal if need be.

“We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Nicole, and I recently moved to the Martinsville area and am reopening my pet sitting business. I’ve been providing professional pet care for dogs and cats since 2016, and my boyfriend, Evan, and I are excited to continue offering services here. We're animal people. We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs. We offer a calm, quiet environment for docile, shy, or senior dogs, and for young or active dogs, we can provide a fun and playful atmosphere. We're also comfortable reinforcing any obedience or training you've been working on, so your pet won't miss a beat. If you're looking for a safe, loving home for your pet while you're away, we'd be honored to take care of them! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. My partner and I work from home so we are here and very attentive to all pets that we board. We're familiar with basic dog training, obedience, and safety. We live on a quiet farm in a small house. The area is really quiet and not close to any main roads. We prioritize safety for our pets and boarders
