“Isabelle house sat for us on short notice, looking after a cat and a dog. She gave us regular updates, asked questions when she had any, and kept tabs on a dog with dietary issues who was just getting over the flu. Our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it. Highly recommended.”
About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!
“I cannot say enough great things about Danielle! She was so great with Izzo. We had flight cancelations, and she was able to stay with Izzo until the day we got back. She was extremely flexible, and so understanding! Danielle is very outgoing, and she put me at ease right away. You get nervous leaving your fir baby with someone else, but Izzo was immediately drawn to Danielle! Everyone should book her. Danielle is amazing!!”
“Rikki was fantastic with our boys! She sent pictures and they were both so relaxed when we got home. Would definitely recommend Rikki to take care of your fur babies and will use her again!”
About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.
About: With a flexible remote work schedule that lets me work from home every Monday and Friday, your pet will enjoy a perfect balance of companionship and structured care while you are out of town. I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, and I currently have two adopted cats of my own, Ruby and Jasper. Having been professionally house sitting and dog walking since middle school, I am highly adaptable and am comfortable caring for nervous or reactive animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and pace. Your pet’s happiness, emotional comfort, and routine always come first, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and at ease while you are away. My hybrid work schedule offers the perfect balance of structure and dedicated companionship for your pet. I work from home every Monday and Friday, meaning your pup or cat will have a human buddy around for extra daytime love, quick potty breaks, and mid-day attention. On days I am away at the office, I maintain a highly reliable, consistent routine for morning, evening, and weekend care. Because my job is incredibly flexible, I easily adapt my daily calendar to mirror your pet's normal routine, ensuring they never miss a feeding, walk, or medication time while you are out of town. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies taught me that a safe environment is the foundation of a happy pet. Today, I share my home with my two adopted cats, Ruby and Jasper, so I strictly maintain a pet-proofed, low-stress space. Having walked dogs and house sat since middle school, I am familiar with nervous or reactive animals. I know how to read subtle body language, manage triggers on walks, and give anxious pets the patient, gentle space they need to feel secure. Your pet's physical safety and emotional comfort always come first, and I provide regular text and photo updates so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
“Dylan provided updates about Ebony, including pictures. Ebony got plenty of play time and was exhausted when we came back from our short trip. Dylan was curteous and treated Ebony, and our home with respect.”
“Justin is an excellent communicator & just an all-around great guy. He texted us regular updates including pictures of his activities with Dori. We will certainly have him back if he is available.”
“Brandi communicated well and sent lots of pictures of our dog while we were away. She left everything nice and neat when she left. Would recommend Brandi to trust with your pet(s).”
“Zachery house sat for us from July 9th through July 14. I have a Rottweiler, a Doberman Pinscher and an American Bulldog. The Doberman is not your everyday dog. He has a public bite history. He is a good dog but he needs leadership. The Rottweiler is a good dog - but very bossy. She needs leadership. The American Bulldog is sassy. She needs leadership. Simply said, I can't just ask "Suzie" down the street to stop over and feed the dogs. Unless she is a confident leader the dogs may well give 'Suzie' a hard time. Zachery provided the leadership, confidence and direction that these dogs needed. He provided excellent care. I would recommend him, especially is you have difficult dogs. The peace of mind that I had while away was worth every penny.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Alaska is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alaska
We had a great experience with Eden taking care of our two dogs. One of our dogs can take a little bit to warm up to strangers and she took the time to make sure she felt comfortable. Based on their behavior when we came home, it was obvious they had a great time with her, they acted only mildly happy to see us. That's usually a sign that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend Eden!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alaska is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alaska. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alaska walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alaska maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alaska choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alaska. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
